At the same time, the jellyfish Yin Ji, having regained her senses, quickly circulated her true energy to envelop herself and the other women.

Enveloped by this true energy, the women finally felt the terrifying pressure from before lessen.

After letting out a long sigh, Qu Feiyan said with a bitter face, "No wonder that Eighth Master Ba in Xingzilin was so suppressed by Young Master's aura that he dared not move. Young Master's aura is too strong."

Lianxing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Situ, when you were about to break through to the early stage of the Celestial Realm, it seems that this didn't cause as much of a commotion as your husband?"

In response to Lianxing's question, Shuimu Yinji explained, "Qinghe's strength is far beyond what I can compare to, so his breakthrough situation will naturally be different from mine back then."

Despite her words, the thought of the terrifying pressure emanating from Chu Qinghe made Shuimu Yinji's heart tremble.

It should be noted that this was the aura Chu Qinghe exuded during his breakthrough, not Chu Qinghe actively using his aura to suppress others.

Even so, it was enough to make someone like Jellyfish Yin Ji, who was at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, feel this way, which shows how terrifying it was.

Then, at the signal of the Water Mother Yin Ji, the group retreated to the entrance of the inner courtyard before taking another look.

At this moment, a large amount of true energy was already surrounding Chu Qinghe.

A dense, layered mist enveloped Chu Qinghe, with sword-shaped true energy sometimes entering his body and sometimes bursting out from his body.

Each sword aura gave the impression of being as agile as a snake and incomparably sharp.

The sword energy swept across the sky, and the sword shadows flowed, making Chu Qinghe, who was sitting in front of the stone table, seem like a sword immortal who could command ten thousand swords, ethereal and otherworldly.

Gradually, as the medicinal power continued to circulate in his body, the fluctuations of true qi within Chu Qinghe's body became more pronounced.

During the process, the speed at which the densely packed sword-shaped phantoms around them swirled also increased continuously.

Like a small hurricane, it stirred up ripples.

However, Chu Qinghe, who was right in the eye of the storm, was completely unaffected; not even his clothes were blown up.

"Buzz"

A quarter of an hour later, a sword-like sound emanated from within Chu Qinghe's body.

As the sword rang out, it seemed as if gusts of wind surged from Chu Qinghe's body, causing his clothes and hair to flutter wildly.

At the same time, the sword-shaped true energy surrounding Chu Qinghe was circulating wildly, and it also emitted bursts of sword cries.

In the women's view, among the sword-shaped true energy surrounding Chu Qinghe, some of the sword-shaped true energy began to show some changes.

Although it still appears somewhat transparent, it is no longer as if it were entirely formed from mist. Instead, it looks like it is formed from clear water in a cold pool, giving people a sense of solidity.

If you look closely, you can even notice a hint of sharp, restrained sword energy within it.

Seeing this, the women immediately understood that this change was clearly due to the transformation of Chu Qinghe's internal energy into true essence.

Soon, under the surge of true energy, all the sword-shaped true energy surrounding Chu Qinghe had transformed into sword-shaped true essence.

At first glance, it felt just like the true essence that Jellyfish Yin Ji felt when she broke through.

As the sword-shaped true essence circulated, it had a somewhat flowing, gurgling quality, no longer resembling drifting true qi.

Then, a terrifying aura and power suddenly erupted from Chu Qinghe, causing Shui Mu Yin Ji and Lian Xing to feel a heavy weight in their hearts even with their true essence acting as a barrier.

Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long.

As Chu Qinghe's true essence circulated, the terrifying aura that filled the courtyard suddenly dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

Only then did Shuimu Yinji gather her true essence and slowly walk towards Chu Qinghe.

A quarter of an hour later, as the true essence within Chu Qinghe's body completed a full cycle, it split into three parts, entering the upper, middle, and lower dantian respectively.

Slowly opening his eyes, a sharp glint suddenly appeared in Chu Qinghe's eyes.

Then, a satisfied smile appeared on Chu Qinghe's face.

"Finally, I've entered the early stage of the Celestial Realm."

With her gaze fixed on Chu Qinghe, who was smiling, Lianxing asked with curiosity, "Brother-in-law, when you were at the Grandmaster level, your strength far surpassed that of experts like Meng Chixing and the Sweeper Monk who were at the peak of the Celestial Realm. Now that you've entered the early stage of the Celestial Realm, what level of strength have you reached?"

Not to mention Lianxing, even the other girls were looking at Chu Qinghe with curiosity.

In response to Lianxing's question, Chu Qinghe compared the strength of the combat opponents in the combat simulator and said, "Dealing with a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Seat Realm should not be a problem."

"Hiss~"

Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, the other women all gasped.

Xiao Zhao said, "You've only just entered the early stage of the Celestial Realm, yet you're already capable of dealing with martial artists in the Divine Seat Realm. If you wait a while longer, until you condense the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, wouldn't even martial artists in the Divine Seat Realm be no match for you?"

Qu Feiyan, standing to the side, stroked her chin and said, "No, given your personality, you are always quite conservative in your speech. Since you are saying that you are able to deal with a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Seat Realm, you must mean that your current strength is enough to kill a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Seat Realm."

As soon as the words left her mouth, the women glanced at Chu Qinghe.

Seeing that Chu Qinghe didn't offer any explanation, the women knew perfectly well that things were just as Qu Feiyan had said.
