“Did my cultivation really just skyrocket like this?”
“How come it feels like I’m dreaming?”
Xuan’er’s companions were completely stunned, especially watching their comrade’s cultivation rising like a rocket. They were so shocked that they felt unwell.
They had always advanced step by step with painstaking effort and caution, afraid of accidentally suffering from a cultivation mishap. But now, their companion had ascended in an instant.
Not only did he ascend, but he did so without hesitation—just boom, instantly ascending!
Even the young cultivator who had just experienced this sudden advancement was taken aback.
“Did I really reach the peak of the Huang Tian Realm?” Huo Dong looked dazed, raising his head to stare foolishly at Lin Fan.
“Yeah, what’s wrong? Did something uncomfortable happen? Although, that shouldn’t be the case—I checked, and everything looks perfectly normal.”
Seeing the young man’s expression, Lin Fan assumed something must be wrong.
Huo Dong’s heart was churning like a rollercoaster, unable to calm down. His talent was merely average, and reaching this level had involved countless trials and dangers.
When he had first entered the early stage of the Huang Tian Realm, he had already felt like his potential was drained.
As for advancing further, he had almost given up hope.
Reaching the peak of the Huang Tian Realm without some extraordinary chance seemed nearly impossible.
Yet now, in just a few seconds, he had soared straight to the peak of the Huang Tian Realm. If he told anyone, they’d probably be scared out of their wits.
Thud!
At this moment, Huo Dong dropped to his knees before Lin Fan, his face filled with pure admiration, as if he had found his lifelong idol.
“Thank you, Senior, thank you so much…”
Huo Dong had never bowed to anyone in his life, but now, he was utterly convinced. The figure before him wasn’t human—it was divine.
In the Gu Sheng World, forcefully boosting one’s cultivation was taboo, as it could lead to unstable foundations. Yet Huo Dong felt no discomfort whatsoever. Every stage of his cultivation felt as if he had reached it through his own efforts, each level perfectly balanced.
“What are you doing? A real man doesn’t kneel. Get up. I actually gave you the wrong pill just now—it was my mistake. In fact, I should be apologizing to you. The joy of cultivation isn’t just in reaching greater heights, but in the satisfaction gained through gradual progress.”
“I silently elevated you straight to the peak of the Huang Tian Realm, robbing you of much of that joy. Fortunately, I didn’t make a serious mistake.”
Lin Fan said regretfully.
“No, Senior, please don’t say that. Your great kindness, I will never forget,” Huo Dong replied, his voice filled with emotion.
How could Huo Dong not be excited? Although the peak of the Huang Tian Realm wasn’t the highest stage, it still marked him as a formidable expert.
Even some ancient clan leaders didn’t possess such cultivation.
Before, when they encountered ancient clan leaders, they could only flee. Now, Huo Dong could actually stand and fight against them.
“Sigh, luckily I grabbed the San Yuan Fa Dan just now. If I had grabbed the Qi Cai Wang Dan instead, your cultivation would have skyrocketed straight to the fourth level of the Shen Tian Realm—the Immortal’s Threshold. Then your joy of cultivation would have been greatly diminished. Fortunately, I didn’t grab that one—it was truly a blessing.”
Lin Fan said with lingering unease.
Cultivation was a serious matter. Each stage’s experience was a unique journey. Skipping those experiences—what was the point of cultivation?
Just like himself, he had advanced step by step, defeating monsters along the way. That feeling was indescribably satisfying.
“Uh!”
After hearing this, Xuan’er’s companions were completely stunned.
What did that mean?
Jumping three stages wasn’t enough—there was even a pill that could boost someone straight to the fourth level of the Shen Tian Realm?
This… this…
They were speechless. In that moment, everyone was utterly convinced.
Huo Dong, upon hearing this, felt a slight sense of disappointment. Why hadn’t the Senior grabbed the wrong pill? If he had, he would gladly have reached the fourth level of the Shen Tian Realm.
But thinking about what he had already gained, Huo Dong felt incredibly fortunate. Without the Senior’s help, he might have spent countless years before reaching the peak of the Huang Tian Realm on his own.
“Senior, then what about the cultivation technique you gave me just now…” a young girl finally spoke up.
She had glanced at the technique, but found it too profound. With her current level of cultivation and understanding, she couldn’t grasp its true value.
But since it was given by the Senior, it must be extraordinary. Still, she thought it best to clarify things now to understand its significance.
“Oh, that technique? Let me think… Ah, yes. I looted it after defeating a Supreme Sage. It’s an advanced cultivation method for women. When mastered, it allows one to enter the Dao. Its power is decent, and it poses no major issues in the early stages of cultivation.”
Lin Fan recalled.
He personally had no interest in these techniques. Originally, he had intended to discard them, but later thought they might come in handy someday. Now, it seemed, they indeed had some use.
“Uh…” the girl was stunned upon hearing this.
A technique obtained after defeating a Supreme Sage? In her eyes, that was terrifying.
A technique treasured by a Supreme Sage—how could it possibly be inferior?
This… this…
“Lin Ge Ge, I heard that forcibly boosting one’s cultivation might affect one’s future path,” Xuan’er knew Lin Fan was powerful, but she hadn’t expected him to be this strong.
Even her master, the Female Emperor, didn’t possess such incredible abilities.
“Yes, that’s indeed a problem,” Lin Fan nodded, agreeing with Xuan’er’s concern.
“Senior, it’s fine. I’m already very satisfied,” Huo Dong said gratefully, assuming the Senior felt guilty about possibly compromising his foundation by boosting his power.
But for Huo Dong, without the Senior’s help, he might never have reached this level in his entire life.
“Of course, it’s fine. Boosting cultivation can indeed cause issues, but those who say that are simply those with insufficient abilities. Don’t worry—when I elevated your strength, I already stabilized your foundation. There won’t be any problems at all.”
Lin Fan said calmly, then turned to Xuan’er.
“Who told you that?”
Xuan’er was momentarily stunned, at a loss for words.
How could she say it was her master who told her? So she pretended to be forgetful.
“Xuan’er doesn’t remember anymore.”
At this moment, far away, the Female Emperor wore a troubled expression.
She had heard everything and felt bitter inside, unable to voice her thoughts.
The statement wasn’t wrong—but in Lin Fan’s mouth, it suddenly sounded flawed.
Still, Xuan’er had shown some thoughtfulness by protecting her master.
“Alright, you young ones have worked hard enough. I’ll grant each of you a bit of fortune,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
Then, he spread his fingers, enveloping everyone in his power.
The Female Emperor looked puzzled, unsure of Lin Fan’s intentions.
But suddenly, she was completely stunned.
What she saw before her seemed utterly impossible.
