"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<...Chen Tingxue was intently watching Fang Han's breakthrough when, in that split second, her pupils suddenly contracted. She saw wisps of purple energy bursting out from Fang Han's body like agile dragons.
The purple aura seemed to be a mysterious force from beyond the heavens; as soon as it appeared, it surged into the sky with overwhelming force.
Its imposing momentum pierced the clouds, reaching a height of a hundred feet in the blink of an eye.
In the dark night sky, the purple aura quickly condensed and gradually transformed into an enormous canopy.
Above the canopy, purple energy swirled and shimmered.
Within a hundred feet of Fang Han, apart from the huge and hard boulder on which he sat, which remained firmly standing and unmoved, everything else—whether it was the delicate flowers, the grass swaying in the wind, or the tall and straight trees—was instantly crushed into fine dust by an invisible force.
Then look at that enormous canopy, which continues to expand, like a huge, ever-growing cloud, spreading outwards continuously.
Its shape resembled a gigantic cloud that blotted out the sky, casting its shadow over everything in its vicinity, giving people a strange feeling as if they were in a mysterious fairyland, or as if they were facing an apocalyptic catastrophe.
"This...this...Mr. Fang has only broken through from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage, but this commotion is far too great..."
Chen Tingxue's face was full of disbelief.
She considered herself a knowledgeable and experienced person, having witnessed many extraordinary phenomena during breakthroughs of masters, but what she saw before her was completely beyond her comprehension, leaving her utterly shocked.
Moreover, Fang Han already displayed astonishing strength when he was in the early Foundation Establishment stage, capable of defeating experts at the peak of the Core Formation stage. Now that he has broken through again, what terrifying combat power will he possess?
This was truly the first time she had ever seen someone capable of defeating an opponent across several major realms.
It should be understood that in the cultivation world, under normal circumstances, someone who can defeat an opponent by crossing a small realm is already considered a genius; while someone who can defeat an opponent by crossing a large realm is an unparalleled prodigy, a cultivation genius that appears only once every thousand years.
Fang Han's talent was beyond words; she simply couldn't find the words to describe it. She could only say it was unheard of.
Only now did she truly understand why Fang Han didn't break through at the Fang family's level, but instead traveled thousands of miles to this remote Yin-Yang Mountain.
The commotion caused by this breakthrough was so earth-shattering that if it had happened in the Fang family, it would have caused a sensation throughout the cultivation world and might have even brought unnecessary trouble.
Generally speaking, the commotion caused by an ordinary person's breakthrough lasts only about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
Fang Han's breakthrough was like a long feast, lasting for a full half hour.
Half an hour later, the purple aura slowly dissipated into the air, like the receding tide.
At this moment, Fang Han slowly stood up.
His figure was as upright as a pine tree, like an unshakable mountain peak.
The once incredibly powerful aura emanating from him had completely dissipated, as if he had returned to his most authentic state.
Even so, he simply stood there quietly, yet he gave people a sense of awe and reverence.
He seemed to be the center of the world, and everything around him paled in comparison to his presence.
“I used to be able to fight Mr. Fang for over a hundred moves, and although I was at a disadvantage, I could still barely hold on. But now, can I even last fifty moves?”
Chen Tingxue pondered to herself.
Under Fang Han's careful guidance, she made rapid progress during this period and her strength improved significantly. However, she could now clearly feel that the gap between herself and Fang Han had widened considerably.
However, she felt no jealousy whatsoever.
On the contrary, this huge gap only strengthened her determination to cultivate.
She knew that only through continuous hard work and cultivation could she narrow the gap between herself and Fang Han.
She was even genuinely happy, because Fang Han was also her ally and half a teacher.
The stronger Fang Han is, the better it will be for her.
Of course, she felt that it would be even better if she could win Fang Han's heart and become his Daoist partner.
"Congratulations, Mr. Fang, on your breakthrough in cultivation! You've reached a new level!"
Chen Tingxue quickly stepped forward to congratulate Fang Han.
"I'm only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, there's nothing to congratulate me on."
Fang Han smiled faintly.
“Mr. Fang, your realm cannot restrain you at all, because your combat power is too strong.”
Chen Tingxue sighed.
"Thank you for your protection," Fang Han said gratefully.
"It is my honor to witness your breakthrough," Chen Tingxue said.
She admired and liked Fang Han even more.
"I consolidated my cultivation in the Yin-Yang Cave for three days before heading to Tianyuan County."
Fang Han said, "I will take some time to give you some pointers over the next three days."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Fang." Chen Tingxue was overjoyed.
For the next three days, the two cultivated inside the Yin-Yang Cave.
Fang Han's mid-Foundation Establishment realm was quickly stabilized, while Chen Tingxue also made up for a deficiency in the Limitless Technique and made considerable progress.
Three days later, Chen Tingxue returned to Fang Han's home in Yanming City.
Fang Han, on the other hand, headed to Yanming City to visit the long-lost Longyuan Sword Mansion and settle scores with Zhao Ziyi.
