"Not just that, our foundation is now many times more stable and stronger than other cultivators. Our bodies are also harder than steel now. We can stop rockets with our bodies alone now even without using spiritual energy." Li Kian added.

"That good? When you said you had gained a lot, I never expected it to be so much." Grandpa Li was surprised by his grandchildren.

"It’s indeed true, grandpa. Now our dantian is at least as big as twice that of others and the amount of spiritual energy it can hold has also doubled. But now, it’s filled to the brim and pushing on the barrier. I also have to advance to the nascent soul stage." Li Han, who was usually quiet, also joined in.

The li family had started cultivating later than the rest of the people there. However, they were diligent people who grew up in the military and had worked very hard.

Even though most of them were now only in the golden core stage, that was still very strong compared to the ancient era that Chu Miao, who was then known as Chu Yue and Grandpa Chu came from.

"That is incredible. I think we should check out that training ground when we are free. We can’t hold the children back." Grandpa Chu suggested and all the elders there nodded their heads.

Among the elders, Grandpa Chu was the strongest because he also had experience in cultivation and his memories of his past life had mostly awakened.

He was also not far from advancing to the nascent soul stage.

This was far beyond what he had ever dreamed of in the ancient Wuxin Kingdom.

Back then, he was hailed as the strongest general, yet his cultivation was stuck in the golden core stage.

Now that he could surpass his former self, he wouldn’t miss the chance, especially since it gave him an opportunity to go out and see a wider world.

"Alright, I need to go out so that I can find a suitable place for everyone to advance.

We can’t advance together because it would be trouble if the tribulation clouds doubled or tripled. So, we will advance one by one." Chu Miao explained why she had called them there and no one had an objection.

"That’s fine by me." Chu Hao immediately supported his sister and the others nodded their heads.

"Okay then, everyone, find some protective tools and talismans. Ah Xuan, do you have some protective array disks? Give me some. I might need them." Chu Miao asked and without a second thought, ten array disks appeared on the table.

"You have so many?" Chu Miao asked, her eyes nearly popping out in shock.

Array disks weren’t easy to make. Not to mention how difficult it was to refine the materials needed, even with the materials, it took a lot of energy and time to make one array disks.

Seeing so many really shocked the Chu family princess.

"Don’t worry. I have more. I made them when I was free." Ye Xuan reassured his lover with a smile.

Thus, a small business of exchanging array disks with other treasures started.

"Alright, I’ll leave first." Chu Miao said goodbye to everyone before putting away the array disks Ye Xuan gave her and teleported out of the Soul Ring.

She appeared in the living room of their apartment and was shocked to hear a loud sound as if a hurricane was passing by.

She immediately ran to the window to check and was surprised to find that while the sect was safe, the area around its protective barrier was a complete mess.

A strong wind was howling, carrying roofs, trees, and dust that made it impossible to see anything with the naked eye.

"What on earth happened while we were away?" Chu Miao muttered to herself.

It seemed that another disaster had already hit earth.

The moment Chu Miao left the Soul Ring, her dantian began a battle with itself trying to passively break the barrier and advance.

Even though she wanted to go out and asked Yang Leo what was happening, she couldn’t hold back anymore and immediately teleported to the forest where she had taken Ye Xuan the last time.

Just like everywhere else, the wind was overwhelmingly strong and almost carried everything in sight.

Luckily, the forest had some century-old trees that weren’t easy to uproot.

Because of this, most of the wind within the forest was broken by the trees and only a small part got through.

However, it was not enough to disrupt Chu Miao from advancing.

Thus, as soon as she appeared in the small clearing inside the forest, she set up a few protective array disks stacked together.

This helped to strengthen the barrier and block a few more lightning strikes.

While she was preparing, tribulation clouds had already started gathering above her head.

Once she was done, the first lightning strike came.

However, due to the protective barrier, it didn’t pass through or touch Chu Miao.

The lighting strikes came one after another at intervals of two to three minutes.

By the twentieth strike, all the array disks had been shattered.

Chu Miao had to be brave and take the remaining strikes head on.

Unfortunately for her, her talent was a little too good. And the heavenly dao envied such talents.

So, instead of facing the usual twenty-seven lightning bolts, she faced thirty-nine.

By the time the last lightning bolt struck, she was so battered that not a single piece of skin on her body was intact.

She was like a piece of charred charcoal.

Luckily, when the golden rain fell, all the injuries disappeared like they never existed.

After casting a cleaning spell and changing into new, clean clothes, she sat down in a meditative posture to check her increase in power and was surprised to find that she had advanced two small realms.

Now, she was in the late stage of nascent soul.

After one more advancement and reaching the peak of nascent soul, she could advance to the spirit transformation and have the ability for her soul to leave the body.
