eir departure, he knew that their relationship had gradually drifted apart. But he wasn’t sure whether it was because of Xiao Yu or his wife’s words.After Song Hushan and co left, Li Shirong pondered...Chapter 793: Breaking Out of the Divine Prohibitive Domain (Grand Finale)

This is also why it took Li Qiong and others nearly eighty years to reach the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage, yet they still couldn't break through to the pinnacle after another eight decades.

It's ten times harder! Although cultivation becomes slightly faster at the late stage of the Qi Refinement Stage compared to the early stage, due to limited natural energy in the world now, absorption speed is only doubled rather than being tenfold as it was back then when natural energy was abundant. Now, a cultivator in the late Qi Refinement Stage can absorb about twice as much natural energy compared to one in the initial stages.

Moreover, Li Qiong lives in a cave with a small array that amplifies natural energy absorption by another factor of two. As a result, Li Qiong's cultivation speed is three times faster than normal. However, breaking through to the pinnacle stage would require ten times his total previous cultivation efforts, making it extremely challenging.

"Master, are you alright" Dai Ruxin rushed over anxiously when she saw Xiao Yu open his eyes.

The scene she just witnessed was quite shocking. A room filled with golden light and heavy Yin energy instantly vanished, even the pure Yin Qi in his body had to hide away. All of this left her feeling stunned; after all, Earth Ghost and Water Ghost once told her about how powerful the pure Yin Qi in her body was, yet it seemed scared of Xiao Yu's golden aura.

Upon hearing Dai Ruxin’s concern, a smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face. "I'm fine."

Xiao Yu felt very happy inside; just now, he had broken through to the pinnacle of the Qi Refinement Stage, and after reaching this stage, he sensed that his strength increased by several times over. As such, the day when he could go to Japan was drawing closer, making him feel elated.

"What happened just now" Dai Ruxin nodded at Xiao Yu's words and quickly thought about the golden light filling the room, prompting her to ask.

“Haha, that was caused by my breakthrough just now!” Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu chuckled and replied.

When Dai Yuxin heard Xiao Yu's words, she nodded in understanding. However, the shock in her heart could not be eliminated. She had only been able to release the pure yin energy within her body through certain specific mediums up until now. But what about Xiao Yu The entire tomb chamber was filled with his power.

After answering Dai Yuxin, Xiao Yu continued sitting in meditation; he needed to consolidate his breakthrough.

Dai Yuxin saw that Xiao Yu had closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself before slowly closing her own eyes and joining him in meditation.

The next day, after leaving the tomb chamber, Xiao Yu and Dai Yuxin both deeply inhaled the morning air. Looking at the garden in the courtyard, the flowers, bees, and ants there all vividly appeared in Xiao Yu's mind as if it were a three-dimensional image painted before his eyes.

If this had happened previously, even though Xiao Yu’s vision was very sharp, he never experienced such a feeling.

It is important to note that although Xiao Yu felt this way during the Yin Soul state, he was experiencing it for the first time while in his physical body.

Xiao Yu's mood was currently excellent. The righteous energy within him was gradually liquefying bit by bit. Once all of his righteous energy had completely liquefied, he would be able to break through from the Breath Cultivation stage and enter Foundation Establishment.

In cultivation arts, regardless of what one cultivates, before reaching the peak of Breath Cultivation, it is all primordial qi in gaseous form. Only upon reaching the peak can one gradually liquefy the primordial qi.

One could say that the peak of Breath Cultivation serves as a transitional phase, marking the process by which the primordial qi changes from gas to liquid. However, the amount of primordial qi needed for this transformation is extraordinarily vast, making it impossible for anyone, even major sects, to fully liquefy their primordial qi after the great calamity.

Moreover, these major sects have cave heavens and blessed lands that cannot be compared with Li Qiong's cave abode. While Li Qiong’s cave abode can enrich the primordial qi inside by a factor of two, the cave heavens and blessed lands are several times richer, with some being even ten times richer; yet still, few people manage to fully liquefy their primordial qi.

Before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, if one followed the conventional path of cultivation, it would take several decades to condense all primordial energy into essence. Of course, back then, with abundant heavenly primordial energy and various methods to accelerate cultivation—like medicinal pills and spirit stones—many could breakthrough from Essence Formation to Foundation Establishment.

However, this high rate of breakthroughs refers to the large base number of cultivators. In reality, even before the Great Tribulation, only one in a thousand could break through from Essence Formation to Foundation Establishment; after the tribulation, no one managed such a breakthrough.

The transformation required an immense amount of heavenly primordial energy—so much that, nowadays, even with all the major sects' resources dedicated to a single individual, it would still be impossible to produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone a peak Essence Formation cultivator.

Moreover, Xiao Yu was different. The righteous and mighty energy within him could circulate autonomously without deliberate cultivation efforts, absorbing the surrounding righteous energy. Furthermore, despite the decrease in heavenly primordial energy, there had been no reduction in righteous energy; rather, it was denser than before.

Additionally, Xiao Yu's cultivation method was at the pinnacle of all methods, which naturally accelerated his cultivation speed.

Moreover, with his Yin Soul, Xiao Yu could absorb righteous energy from a radius of a thousand meters due to its existence, unlike other cultivators who could only absorb energy within several dozen meters around them. This alone ensured that Xiao Yu's cultivation speed was incredibly fast.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and set off with Dai Yuxin towards Wan Sheng Hall.

Today was the membership day for Wan Sheng Hall, so when Xiao Yu arrived, he saw long lines of people outside the hall's entrance.

Xiao Yu checked his watch; it was only half past seven. He didn't expect to see over twenty people queuing up at this hour. After the Spring Festival, Xiao Yu hadn't spent much time in Wan Sheng Hall and wasn’t aware how many members there were now. But judging by today’s scene, Wan Sheng Hall must have a huge number of members.

Instead of immediately knocking on the door, Xiao Yu started chatting with the elderly people gathered at the entrance.

All these seniors had finished their morning exercises and came over after having breakfast, so they arrived very early.

Quite a few of them knew Xiao Yu, and they enjoyed talking to him. Additionally, many were aware of his medical skills and knew that despite his youth, he was the best doctor in Wan Sheng Hall.

Xiao Yu started discussing methods of health preservation with these seniors, advising them on aspects of daily life to pay attention to in order to stay healthy and avoid illness.

Soon after, Tai Lao and Xiao Hongyang arrived from the side, while Yuan Chao had already opened the door. When Yuan Chao saw Xiao Yu and others standing outside, he quickly invited them in.

In fact, Wan Sheng Hall now opened at 8:30 AM, so this time wasn't too late. Not long after Xiao Yu and his companions entered, Li Hui and Zhang Qing also arrived.

Xiao Yu glanced at his watch; it was still a bit before 8:30, but seeing everyone had gathered and there were many patients waiting, he informed Tai Lao that they could start the consultations.

Even though Xiao Yu and company were treating patients, the number of people in Wan Sheng Hall didn't decrease; instead, it seemed to be increasing, indicating how numerous its members were.

While diagnosing a patient, Xiao Yu suddenly felt that someone was staring at him from behind. When he sensed this gaze, he did not release his hand from the patient's wrist but looked towards the patients' backs.

When Xiao Yu saw the person standing in the distance, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded to signal them to take a seat and wait before continuing with the diagnosis of his current patient.
