On the outskirts of the great forest dwell powerful magical beasts, whose power grows stronger the closer they are to the center.

During his exploration, he witnessed the appearance of a strange beast.

The beast was hundreds of feet long, with a huge body, bulging muscles, and a majestic light flashing in its eyes.

It flew across the sky, leaving a huge shadow, and even Qin Ze could feel its incredibly powerful aura.

It was an absolute domineering aura, even the fire dragon paled in comparison.

Qin Ze was not intimidated; on the contrary, his fighting spirit became even stronger.

He knew that this secret realm was his opportunity to achieve a breakthrough, and he wanted to constantly challenge his limits and break through his own boundaries.

After dozens of days of unremitting efforts, Qin Ze's body was filled with a powerful aura.

His muscles became more defined, his mind more focused, and his ability to perceive the world reached a new level.

He was only a hair's breadth away from the late stage of Grandmaster. He could feel that hair's breadth away, as if all he needed was a trigger to step into a new realm.

Half a month has passed, and Qin Ze has accumulated rich experience and strength through continuous battles and efforts.

Qin Ze found a hidden cave, and he decided to make his breakthrough there.

He cleared the entrance to the cave, creating a quiet environment so he could concentrate. He knew that breaking through was a crucial matter that required his full attention.

He sat cross-legged, placed the Heavenly Question Sword horizontally in front of his knees, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing, entering a meditative state.

His mind gradually calmed down, and he felt the power surging within him. Streams of vitality and energy flowed through him, as if he had become one with this land.

The breakthrough was not easy. Qin Ze felt the surge of power within his body, and he began to guide this power, allowing it to circulate within him.

A surge of power flowed into his meridians like a gushing spring, and his body felt as if it had been set ablaze, with a burning sensation spreading throughout his body.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Qin Ze felt that he was in a special state. He could perceive the subtle changes between heaven and earth, as if he were connected with the universe.

Suddenly, an incredibly powerful force surged within him, as if a giant wave had swept him up. He felt as if he were in the eye of a storm, and the collision and surge of power was almost unbearable for him.

But Qin Ze did not give up. He calmed his mind and guided the power within his body to its peak.

He felt the fusion of power within his body; a powerful energy rippled through him and then spread rapidly.

A golden light gradually rose from his body, his pores seemed to emit flames, and his physique became incredibly strong.

His aura became deep and vast, and a powerful force spread within him, making him seem like a surging volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

The moment of breakthrough finally arrived. Qin Ze felt an irresistible force surging out from his body, and his body shot into the sky like a rocket, emanating an incomparably powerful aura.

His internal power was completely integrated, breaking through to the critical point of the late Grandmaster stage.

At the moment of his breakthrough, the heavens and earth seemed to change color, and a golden light enveloped Qin Ze. An incomparably powerful pressure surged from his body, as if it could shake the entire world.

When everything calmed down, Qin Ze slowly opened his eyes. He felt the changes within himself; he had entered the late stage of the Grandmaster realm, and his power had reached a completely new level.

He stood up, feeling the flow of power within his body, and knew that he had reached a new level.

Ze walked out of the secret realm and out of the secret chamber.

However, he realized that his family did not know that he had gone to the secret realm and thought that he was just cultivating in seclusion in a secret room.

As soon as he stepped out of the secret room, a group of people surrounded him.

Qin Zhan rushed forward anxiously and asked with concern, "Ze'er, you're out? You've been in seclusion for so long, are you alright?"

Qin Ze smiled and nodded. He could feel his father's concern. "Dad, I'm fine. I benefited greatly from my seclusion, and my strength has improved significantly."

Qin Ze's mother, Ouyang Qian, walked to his side and gently patted the back of his hand. "Son, your cultivation must be very hard. Come, let Mom make you a bowl of nourishing soup."

Wang Ying looked at Qin Ze tenderly and asked with concern, "Ah Ze, you've been in seclusion for so long this time, we were all very worried about you. How are you feeling?"

Qin Ze looked at Wang Ying with tenderness in his eyes. "Sister Ying, I'm fine. I've gained a lot; I've broken through my strength bottleneck and am now on the verge of reaching the late Grandmaster stage."

My cousin Qin Yurou skipped over, asking curiously, "Cousin, what were you doing in there? Why did you stay in seclusion for so long this time?"

Qin Ze smiled and gently stroked Qin Yurou's hair. "Haha, my cousin took a nap inside and then broke through to the next level."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yurou rolled her eyes at Qin Ze.

"Even ghosts believe you!"

In the evening, Qin Ze sat down with his family and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Qin Zhan inquired about Qin Ze's recent cultivation and condition with concern, while Ouyang Qian kindly reminded him to take care of his health.

That evening, when he returned to his room, Wang Ying was already waiting for him.

Her gentle smile sent a shiver down Qin Ze's spine. Their eyes met in the air, as if they could sense each other's inner longing.

Wang Ying approached him step by step.

"I want you to conquer me!"

Qin Ze smiled and gently pulled her into his arms, his heartbeat seemingly quickening.

Their feelings had long transcended words; a night of tenderness was a response to each other's deep affection.

(The plot is obscure and the description is omitted) On that quiet night, Qin Ze and Wang Ying's intimacy strengthened their relationship. The two were immersed in each other's love and spent an unforgettable night.

The next day, Qin Ze returned to his house early. As soon as he entered, he saw Wen Xiang running excitedly towards him. Her slender figure leaped into his arms, and the two embraced tightly, laughing softly involuntarily.

"You're back. I've been waiting for you all night." Wenxiang's voice was full of joy and warmth.

Qin Ze gently stroked her hair, leaned against the wall, and tenderly replied, "I missed you too, Xiangxiang."

Their eyes met, and their smiles revealed deep affection. Their intimacy needed no words; a tacit understanding drew them closer. That night, they fully savored each other's tenderness and companionship, creating beautiful memories.

As night fell, Qin Ze and Wen Xiang grew closer, spending the night in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Qin Ze prepared to continue challenging the final powerhouse of the Tower of Babel, the Fire Dragon. Now possessing the strength of a late-stage Grandmaster, and having cultivated for so long in the secret realm, he was confident he could defeat the Grandmaster-level Fire Dragon.

Qin Ze stood once again on the top floor of the Tower of Babel, his gaze fixed intently on the fire dragon before him.

His inner confidence and determination burned within him; he knew that this battle would be the ultimate test.
