"The sooner we communicate, the better. Otherwise, we won't recognize each other, and if we get into a fight, it won't benefit anyone if we get hurt."

"Oh, such a genius has actually appeared." Upon hearing Situ Nanfeng's words, a booming voice came from within, sounding somewhat surprised.

But soon the voice calmly said, "No matter what kind of genius or powerful person emerges, it has nothing to do with me. I just need to go into seclusion to cultivate. As a superhuman, the path of cultivation is long, not something that can be accomplished overnight."

Ye Haochen saw things clearly and, after replying to Situ Nanfeng, remained silent.

Seeing Ye Haochen like this, Situ Nanfeng was also quite anxious and knocked hard on the door.

"You blockhead! He's so much better than you. If you don't go and pay him a visit, you might never see him again. Let me tell you, this guy is incredibly arrogant. Once he comes knocking on your door to challenge you, you won't have a chance to apologize!"

Situ Nanfeng's shouts had some effect. When he knocked on the door again, his punch missed completely. When he saw the scene before him again, he found that the Taoist gate in front of him had disappeared at some point.

Behind the door appeared an endless corridor, the deepest part of which was pitch black, so dark that not even light could be reflected.

The length and depth of this corridor far exceed the entire matchbox-shaped building, making it look incongruous and quite eerie.

Upon seeing this scene, Situ Nanfeng felt his scalp tingle and his expression changed. He quickly took two steps back, and his light-based supernatural power surged out, enveloping him.

"You useless piece of trash, all you do is bully people weaker than you. You didn't even dare to fart in front of Guan Wen. I came here to kindly remind you, and you actually tried to play this trick on me. Fine, fine, I'm leaving."

He took two steps back cautiously, then took off running out of the courtyard.

After he left the courtyard, another door appeared in the matchbox-like building behind him, sealing off the corridor.

The spatial fluctuations caused by the disappearance of the gate also vanished without a trace.

However, if someone stands next to the matchbox-shaped building, they can still hear a murmur coming from a very distant direction, carried by the sound of the wind.

"Is it a guy named Guan Wen...?"

...

In the world of cultivation, inside Guan Wen's cave, Guan Wen was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his fiery power constantly spreading from various parts of his body, forming a scorching arc of fiery power.

Within his body, energy seemed to be surging uncontrollably everywhere, while an intensely hot and stimulating sensation emanated from the area where his body's energy source was located, causing him to feel an indescribable stinging pain in both his cells and organs.

He is currently cultivating with Fire Silkworm Dragon Lotus Powder. The so-called spiritual object with strong piercing ability refers to a spiritual object with an extremely strong ability to pierce the source of energy. At the microscopic level, it penetrates the source of energy, and the feeling reflected in the body is a kind of stimulation and burning sensation.

This burning sensation will indeed cause some damage to one's own cells, but as long as the Qi source is in place, this damage can be repaired quickly. The only thing that is hard to accept is the pain that occurs during cultivation.

However, Guan Wen had no choice but to do this in order to cultivate rapidly. Otherwise, if he were to absorb other spiritual objects step by step, the effect would definitely not be as good as that of spiritual objects of this level.

After absorbing the Fire Silkworm Dragon Lotus Powder for a period of time, the flame energy within his body began to surge upwards. This was something he hadn't encountered since breaking through to level sixty, proving that the Fire Silkworm Dragon Lotus truly had an effect.

Soon, about half an hour later, the fire power within his body rapidly broke through and directly reached level sixty-three.

After his breakthrough, he stopped using the Fire Silkworm Dragon Lotus Powder. His internal energy condensed for half a day, returning to its original state. Only after the pain subsided did he resume using it.

He was naturally happy after the breakthrough, but when he used the Fire Silk Dragon Lotus to improve himself this time, the painful feeling surged back into his heart.

During his cultivation, he even considered giving up on using the Volcanic Dragon Lotus, but the effects of the Fire Silkworm Dragon Lotus were simply too good. After cultivating for only a few hours, he once again felt the urge to break through.

The Fire Silkworm Dragon Lotus was perfectly suited to his current state of being at the bottleneck of level 60. More importantly, the Heavenly Martial Ring's one hundred times cultivation speed boost made him feel like a fish in water. With this one hundred times cultivation speed boost, using other spiritual items would be a waste.

Seven days passed quickly. During this time, he used the Fire Silkworm Dragon Lotus to cultivate every day. The cultivation process was quite painful, but the results were also quite obvious. He improved on average every day during these days, and after seven days, he had already reached level sixty-eight.

Of course, his rapid improvement was not only due to finding the right piercing spiritual object, but more importantly, it was due to the hundredfold cultivation speed boost from the Heavenly Martial Ring. With these two factors combined, as long as he had enough spiritual objects, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds without any problem.

Soon, the time came, and he returned to the Tower of All Heavens.

Two hours had passed since they left the Tower of All Heavens. It was a little past three in the afternoon, and there was still a long time before it got dark, but Guan Wen decided to go home and rest for a while.
