Chapter 681: Reaching Level Ten Perfection in the Blink of an Eye, A Meaningful Relationship

As Wu Li opened his eyes, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared between his brows. He then snapped his fingers directly.

In an instant, the space-time around Wu Li began to accelerate at a visible rate. His Cultivation also surged continuously with the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, he Brokethrough from Level Two Perfection to Level Three, and it didn't stop there.

Level Four, Level Five, he progressed unimpeded all the way, like a torrential flood, only slowing down when he reached Level Ten Perfection.

Wu Li opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, his gaze incredibly sharp, causing even Wu Zhene to tremble upon seeing it. But this look was fleeting, and Wu Li soon returned to normal.

"The current situation can only support up to Level Ten Perfection."

Wu Li murmured to himself. Everything just now was him manipulating the space-time of the Forbidden Realm to accelerate his process of Cultivating Forbidden Power. Although it seemed like just a blink of an eye, in fact, Wu Li had already Cultivated Forbidden Power for a full hundred thousand years, merely compressed into an instant by him.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhene beside him wore an utterly speechless expression. What did his Brother mean? Was he looking down on this Level Ten Perfection? Did he plan to Breakthrough directly to Level Eighteen in one go?

But regardless, he himself had worked so hard to Breakthrough to Level Nine Early Stage, yet he never expected his Brother to surpass him in less than two and a half years since arriving in the Forbidden Realm.

Wu Li, however, didn't pay much attention to this. He approached Wu Zhene and said, "So, now that we've come to the Final Return World, what's your next plan?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhene finally pulled his attention back from Wu Li's formidable talent. After some thought, he said, "Naturally, I have one."

"The top priority is to find a way to repair the ancient jade of devouring taboo, allowing it to unleash its true power."

Wu Zhene took out the ancient jade of devouring taboo, his expression extremely grave. The ancient jade of devouring taboo was currently in a damaged state, yet it could still erupt with terrifying power. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying power the ancient jade of devouring taboo could unleash if restored to its Peak.

Wu Li nodded in agreement, as there wasn't much else for him to do in the Forbidden Realm at the moment.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Final Return World, a figure suddenly opened his eyes, looking toward the location where Wu Zhene and the others were. The next second, his form directly transformed into a wisp of forbidden Qi and dissipated, heading toward the Grotto-heaven where Wu Zhene and the others were.

Almost simultaneously, both Wu Zhene and Wu Li sensed a powerful aura rushing toward this place. They only had time to exchange a glance before that figure arrived before them. Looking at Wu Zhene, he let out a crisp, bell-like teasing laugh and said, "Oh, who do we have here? It's Brother Wu Zhene. Hiding from your sister for so long, have you finally shown up?"

Hearing him speak, Wu Zhene's face was full of discomfort, while Wu Li beside him gave Wu Zhene a meaningful look, clearly not expecting Wu Zhene to have such an encounter.

At this moment, Wu Zhene didn't know what his Brother was thinking inside. Upon seeing the newcomer, Wu Zhene quickly regained his composure and said somewhat sheepishly, "Sister Chu Xue, how could I be hiding from you? I just had things to attend to, so I left without saying goodbye. I'm back now, so don't be angry."

"Hmph, had things to attend to? I think you just wanted to hide from me. Coming back now, in my opinion, you must have stirred up some trouble outside and came back here to lay low."

The woman before him, whom Wu Zhene called Chu Xue, couldn't help but snort coldly, but her gaze toward Wu Zhene was filled with deep affection.

Hearing this, Wu Zhene hurriedly defended himself, "Sister Chu Xue, you know me. Do I seem like that kind of person?"

"Hmph, that's hard to say. After all, someone once vowed to be with me forever."

Chu Xue looked at Wu Zhene with displeasure, clearly somewhat angered by his actions.

Seeing this, Wu Zhene quickly coaxed her for a while until the dissatisfaction on Chu Xue's face faded. She then looked at Wu Li, frowning slightly, and said, "And who is this?"

"This is my Brother. His name is Li. He recently passed through the Final Return World, and after I saw him, I brought him into the Final Return World as a guest."

Before Wu Li could speak, Wu Zhene took the lead to introduce him.

Upon hearing that Wu Li was Wu Zhene's Brother, the displeasure between Chu Xue's brows vanished instantly. She looked at Wu Li and said in an extremely gentle tone, "So you're Brother Wu Zhene's Brother. In that case, stay in the Final Return World. I'll arrange a separate Grotto-heaven for you."

Wu Li, seeing this, was about to say something but was stopped by Wu Zhene.

"No need for such trouble. Let my Brother stay with me in the same Grotto-heaven."

"Eh, how can that be? If others find out, they'll think the ruler of the Final Return World can't even give away a Grotto-heaven. Just listen to me!"

Chu Xue said very firmly, then directly took out an identity token for a Grotto-heaven from her Storage Ring and handed it to Wu Li.

"Brother, this identity token is for you. Should I arrange for you to go there now?"

After saying this, Chu Xue was about to directly arrange for subordinates to take Wu Li over, but she was still stopped by Wu Zhene.

Wu Zhene coughed, then looked at Chu Xue with a serious expression and said, "Don't worry about this for now. I haven't caught up with my Brother in a long time. Let me chat with my Brother alone."

Hearing this, a struggle flashed across Chu Xue's face, but she ultimately compromised and looked at Wu Zhene.

"Mm, I understand. But you must come to my Dao field to find me later. If you don't come, don't blame me for turning hostile."

Feeling the threat in Chu Xue's tone, Wu Zhene couldn't help but shiver, then quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Chu Xue finally showed a satisfied smile, looked at Wu Li, and said with a laugh, "Then I won't disturb you Brothers catching up. I'll take my leave first."

After saying this, Chu Xue left the two of them.

Only after Chu Xue left did Wu Zhene finally let out a sigh of relief. Although he was already with Chu Xue, for some reason, Wu Zhene always felt an invisible pressure when standing before her.

But before Wu Zhene could speak, Wu Li beside him looked at him with a deeply meaningful expression and said, "Speak. What's going on with all this?"
