At first glance, this place is a towering mountain, its peaks reaching for the sky. The sky is vast and the wilderness boundless. A waterfall cascades down, its beauty dazzling and magnificent. Auspicious clouds drift by, accompanied by a gentle breeze that tosses and ripples the long, black hair, creating a scene that is truly breathtaking.

The melodious calls of various wild animals and Suzuka deer echoed through the mountains, adding to the allure and charm of the place.

Taking a gentle breath of air, even the air itself feels so fresh and delicious; it's truly a paradise on earth.

And I must say, the scenery here is truly breathtaking. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be beautiful; in two words, it would be very beautiful; in three words, it would be absolutely gorgeous.

"Young master, what place is this? The scenery looks beautiful, I really like it here," Meiniang asked happily.

"I don't know either. It doesn't matter where it is, as long as no one bothers us." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said casually.

"Young master, this place isn't quite right, is it?" Meiniang blushed and said shyly.

“What’s wrong with it? The scenery here is beautiful and it’s quiet. It’s rare to find such a good place, perfect for cultivation,” Gu Changqing said to himself.

He couldn't understand why Mei Niang thought this place was unsuitable. Didn't she just say she liked it here? Women's hearts are truly unfathomable.

"Are we here to cultivate? I thought it was something else. If it is, this place is quite nice," Meiniang said with a sudden realization.

So the young master meant that no one was disturbing their cultivation. He had misunderstood and couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Gu Changqing looked at Meiniang and said, "What do you think we came here for?"

"No, it's nothing," Meiniang said shyly, her face flushing.

"You still say it's nothing, but your face is all red." Gu Changqing said with a mischievous smile.

He hadn't noticed at first, but now that he saw her flushed face and combined it with what she had just said, he quickly understood why.

At this moment, Mei Niang was like a vibrant, ripe rosebud, about to bloom, beautiful and captivating, making one's mouth water.

Gu Changqing's Adam's apple bobbed, and with a wave of his hand, he casually set up a huge barrier, isolating himself from the outside world. Instantly, the sounds of animals outside stopped.

Suddenly, a huge single bed appeared inside the barrier, with bright red curtains, giving it a very festive look.

"Today is our big day," Gu Changqing said with a wicked grin.

Without saying a word, he picked up Meiniang and carried her to the bedside.

Meiniang let him hold her, her face flushed, and she buried her head in his chest shyly.

Then Gu Changqing carefully placed Meiniang on the bed and then drew the curtains.

…………

Several hours later, both of them were beaming with satisfaction as they tidied their clothes.

"Meiniang, you stay here and consolidate your foundation. I'll go outside," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.

"Understood, young master," Meiniang replied obediently.

Gu Changqing then stepped out of the barrier, found a random spot, sat down on the ground, and prepared to begin absorbing cultivation.

"Master, I have something to ask you. Come out now," Gu Changqing said directly.

"Greenie is here. What can I do for you, host?" A familiar voice rang in my mind.

"Last time, I needed a Heaven and Earth Pagoda to reach the early stage of the Transcendent Realm. How many Heaven and Earth Pagodas will I need to open up to reach the early stage of the Transcendent Realm this time?" Gu Changqing directly voiced his inner question.

“This time, the host needs to open up nine nine-story Heaven and Earth Pagodas, which is eighty-one stories in total, in order to reach the early stage of the Transcendent Realm.” Greenie thought for a moment and replied seriously.

"Oh, so much? Is my cultivation level enough?" Gu Changqing said casually.

"Let Greenie take a look."

"Is it done yet?" Gu Changqing urged.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will not only be enough, but there will be some left over," Greenie replied after taking a careful look.

Gu Changqing was secretly delighted, and then without saying a word, he began to absorb the nutrients.

"Boom!!!"

In no time, he absorbed several orbs of light, moving forward at a speed like flying in an airplane. His aura surged rapidly like lightning!

Instantly, a surge of powerful energy rushed into Gu Changqing's body, and soon he reached a peak, just one step away from breaking through.

"Boom!"

A series of explosions rang out, like Mount Tai exploding, the violent blasts reaching the heavens and earth, shaking the ground and causing the mountains to tremble, a truly terrifying sight.

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

The first level of the pagoda!

The third level of the pagoda!

The fifth level of the pagoda!

The seventh-story pagoda!

The tenth-story pagoda!

The twentieth story of the pagoda!

...

In less than an hour, Gu Changqing opened up the layers of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda one by one, as easily as drinking water. Meanwhile, the cultivation within his body continued to surge like the Yangtze River, seemingly inexhaustible. Like a tireless ox or horse, he forged ahead relentlessly, almost unable to stop. He clearly felt that his strength had greatly improved!

Gu Changqing was extremely excited. He continued to absorb cultivation power in one go. The cultivation power in his body was like a vast ocean, inexhaustible and ever-flowing.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The thirtieth story of the pagoda!

The fiftieth story of the pagoda!

The sixtieth story of the pagoda!

...

"Boom boom boom!"

The seventieth-story pagoda!

The eightieth story of the pagoda!

The eighty-first floor of the pagoda!

Early stage of Transcendence!

After successfully opening up nine complete nine-story Heaven and Earth Pagodas, just as the system had said, Gu Changqing successfully reached the early stage of the Transcendent Realm. It was indeed not as difficult as he had imagined. Moreover, his cultivation had not been completely absorbed yet, so he could save it for later use.

Upon seeing this, Gu Changqing was overjoyed beyond words. He immediately stopped absorbing cultivation and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

"Holy crap, I've successfully entered the early stage of the Transcendent Realm! I'm so awesome, hahaha, so cool, so cool!"

Suppressing his excitement, he looked into the depths of his consciousness. There, he saw nine magnificent, nine-story pagodas of heaven and earth standing tall, like a giant planet, shining brightly and dazzlingly, just like beautiful suns, radiant and luminous.

After reaching the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, the primordial power within his body caused Gu Changqing to feel his strength surge once again, a world of difference compared to before. Now, his body was even more vast and expansive, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Hahaha, awesome!"

After his strength increased dramatically, Gu Changqing could clearly sense that his physical strength was hundreds of millions of times stronger than before, and that he had endless power within his body, like a vast ocean.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully breaking through to the early stage of the Transcendent Realm. This is truly a cause for celebration." Greenie's cheerful voice rang out in my mind.
