Within that golden light, the clear and melodious song of a nightingale rang out, lasting for more than a day before gradually ceasing...

...

"Phew, it's finally time for a breakthrough."

Gu Yan sat cross-legged on the water, completely naked, his body radiating intense spiritual energy, as if it were about to explode.

At that moment, a blonde girl leaned lazily against his chest, her pretty face alluring, her posture seductive, and her skin bearing numerous finger marks...

She glanced at her younger sisters around her, whose pink flesh was already showing, especially Athena, who, because of her striking resemblance to her, had endured something that her cultivation level shouldn't have allowed her to bear...

"Your Majesty, the spiritual energy within my body is also extremely active, and it seems I am about to break through."

Gu Yan gently stroked Gaia's jade-like back, the smooth and tender feeling bringing him great satisfaction in both mind and body. He then glanced at the condition inside her body.

Although the spiritual energy was extremely active, he was clearly not in good condition due to overwork...

"You should go back and rest first. They are also very tired. I will break through first, and then guide you through the breakthrough after you have recovered in a few days."

Looking at that very responsible, strong figure, like a pillar of strength, Gaia felt a little embarrassed. Considering that she was indeed weak, she could only nod with a blush on her face.

Gu Yan chuckled and patted her head. With a thought, all the girls were instantly swallowed by a golden light.

...

As he stood up, a series of crackling sounds of roasting beans rang out, as if he hadn't moved his body in a long time.

Even though the posture is different from the previous ones, why is my body still so stiff?

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, put on his clothes and walked to the rooftop. With a flick of his hand, the Soul-Summoning Banner instantly appeared above his head, and countless black lights shot out, spreading around and blocking the way completely.

After setting everything up, he sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering to himself.

"I have no shortage of spirit stones and pills. Condensing a spiritual sea shouldn't be too difficult."

Although he always felt a sense of breakthrough, he had recently felt something was off, as if something was watching him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Just then, a large insect that had been sleeping for a long time suddenly woke up, flew onto his shoulder, and its swollen abdomen returned to normal.

Gu Yan glanced at it and saw that it seemed to have grown a bit, realizing that part of his recent increase in cultivation was due to it.

“Master, the second realm shouldn’t be a big problem for you. You could call out your concubines to observe and learn from them; it would be beneficial for their cultivation.”

The Devouring God Gu lazily transmitted its thoughts, seemingly not taking the Spirit Sea seriously at all.

With a bang, it was suddenly flung away and embedded in the ground.

"Damn, why didn't you say this earlier? You're such a hindsight expert."

Gu Yan grumbled a couple of times, but still managed to probe his divine sense into the divine realm.

...

Inside a magnificent palace, the girls who had previously served him had just been settled by the other beauties.

"Your Majesty's strength has increased far too quickly recently. If it were still the same as before, we would probably be doomed."

A graceful and charming woman dressed in a pink gauze dress complained timidly, but her face was flushed, as if she was looking forward to it.

"Hehehe, Sister Xinyao, is it sour?"

Learn from Sister Qingyue; she always puts her heart and soul into everything she does. There's a reason why the King dotes on her so much.

Another alluring woman covered her mouth and laughed, her proud figure trembling.

"Hmph, Mingyue also deserves credit. Look at Gaia and Athena," Xinyao said discontentedly, but what could she do when she was all alone?

The blonde girl on the bed was quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say...

...

Gu Yan saw everything that happened in the Divine Realm clearly. He smiled and shook his head, then immediately began to circulate his divine sense.

With a whoosh, dozens of portals of light opened instantly around them, and dozens of stunningly beautiful women fell down, some with proud figures, some with charming allure, and some with delicate and lovely features...

Wanqing, Qingyue, Xinyao, Ruier, Naizi, Yingzi, Xianghuizi, Celeste, Alice, Margaret, Stella, Hera, and others were all talented concubines he selected.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty has just finished enjoying so many beauties, why summon us all out?"

A voice complained discontentedly.

"ah?

Is Your Majesty trying to help the sisters develop even more teamwork?

A voluptuous woman with blood-red hair giggled, swaying her body which was impossible to restrain.

As soon as the words were spoken, all the beautiful young women blushed, clenched their small hands, and were somewhat nervous and scared, obviously recalling the previous hodgepodge.

That could kill someone...

"Ahem, I'm about to break through. Let you all observe; it will be beneficial for your cultivation."

Gu Yan looked at them and said very seriously.

The goddesses all looked solemn, even Xiaomingyue and Athena were forcibly awakened by their best friend.

"Then my sisters and I would like to offer our congratulations in advance to Your Majesty."

A beautiful woman in palace attire spoke, her voice deliberately laced with emotion—the kind of tone that would move any man...

Coupled with her elegant and noble demeanor, and her status as a former divine king and queen...

Gu Yan appeared beside her in an instant and patted her shapely buttocks.

"With your silver tongue, I'll definitely reward you first."

This one action instantly drew dozens of glares from behind, feeling like needles pricking their backs.

"Your Majesty, it's quite a coincidence for me too."

Xi Ying, who had been diligently practicing the art of swallowing food, said sourly.

"Haha, I'll definitely feed you my fill then."

Without glancing at the shy beauty, Gu Yan laughed loudly and flew to an open space.

After scattering the ghost soldiers around him, he took out a spirit stone and began to absorb it seriously, intending to use it as a driving force to condense his spiritual sea...

The concubines remained silent, some even staring at their other sisters as if they would immediately attack if anyone dared to disturb them.
