Chapter 689: Successive Breakthroughs

A massive surge of spiritual power instantly filled Xiao Fan's entire body, flowing turbulently through his limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of his flesh…

*Bang!*

Fifteen minutes later…

Xiao Fan broke through, reaching the Early Stage of the Sixth Level of the Yuanhun Realm!

This time, his Breakthrough made no sound; currently, no living beings in this Secret Realm would make any noise when breaking through.

Xiao Fan did not stand up… Cold sweat surfaced on his forehead; the refinement of the massive spiritual power had only just begun…

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

Time passed bit by bit. Xiao Fan spent three days and three nights completely refining the power fed back by the Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang.

His cultivation had now reached the Middle Stage of the Seventh Level of the Yuanhun Realm!

Xiao Fan exhaled. The cold sweat on his forehead vanished as the spiritual power within his flesh was completely absorbed…

The Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang inside his body settled down obediently, no longer feeding spiritual power back to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan slowly opened his eyes; they were deep, as if stars were exploding within them!

“Middle Stage of the Seventh Level of the Yuanhun Realm… it's a bit slow.” Xiao Fan gave a bitter smile. He had originally thought that nineteen Ancient Artifacts would allow him to break through to an even higher Realm!

But on second thought, it made sense. Previously, a few Ancient Artifacts led to rapid Breakthroughs because Xiao Fan's Realm was low, but now he had already reached the Yuanhun Realm.

“Reaching the Middle Stage of the Seventh Level of the Yuanhun Realm isn't bad either,” Xiao Fan muttered to himself. He stretched his neck, looked at the mountain of Heaven And Earth Treasures, and began refining those resources!!

Seven days after Xiao Fan entered seclusion…

“I wonder how Your Majesty is doing and if he has broken through by now.” Hou Wanli stood in the Divine Temple, his expression solemn as he talked to himself…

Three hundred years sounded long, but in his eyes, it was merely the blink of an eye!

Xiao Fan's increase in strength was the key to resisting the upcoming great tribulation!

Now, inside the Secret Room…

Xiao Fan's Realm had reached the Late Stage of the Seventh Level of the Yuanhun Realm…

His aura was still rising, continuing to grow stronger!

Refining Heaven And Earth Treasures was different from Ancient Artifacts. Ancient Artifacts were refined by the Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang, which then infused and fed pure spiritual power back to Xiao Fan.

But Heaven And Earth Treasures required Xiao Fan to exert effort to refine them himself; the two were incomparable!

…

Another seven days passed, and the Divine Temple was about to be teleported into the sphere of influence of Wuhuang Province.

Today, Wei Zhongshan emerged from seclusion!

At this moment, Wei Zhongshan's face was filled with excitement and joy. He had now reached the Middle Stage of the Second Level of the Pi Hai Realm, having advanced a minor sub-Realm in this half-month!

“Not bad.” Hou Wanli looked at Wei Zhongshan and nodded slightly.

“Thank you, Senior!” Wei Zhongshan bowed respectfully to Hou Wanli.

“No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank His Majesty the Human Emperor,” Hou Wanli said indifferently.

“Big… Has Lord Human Emperor not come out yet?” Wei Zhongshan wanted to say Big Brother, but he changed his address to Lord Human Emperor!

He had called him Big Brother before… but now that he knew Xiao Fan's identity, he felt it was better to call him Lord Human Emperor!

“Not yet, but probably soon,” Hou Wanli said.

Half a day later…

Xiao Fan emerged from seclusion. He was keeping track of the days and knew they were nearing Wuhuang Province.

“Your Majesty, you have emerged!”

“Lord Human Emperor!”

Hou Wanli and Wei Zhongshan saluted Xiao Fan…

Xiao Fan didn't think much of Hou Wanli acting this way, but Wei Zhongshan's sudden behavior felt strange to him.

“What's wrong with you?” Xiao Fan looked at Wei Zhongshan.

“No, it's nothing.” Wei Zhongshan scratched his head.

“Just act normal; don't be so stiff,” Xiao Fan said irritably. “If you keep being this polite, I'll kick you out.”

“Uh… okay… Big Brother…”

Xiao Fan nodded in satisfaction. Hou Wanli didn't say a word nearby; as long as Lord Human Emperor was happy.

“Your Majesty, your cultivation?” Suddenly, Hou Wanli was stunned… because Xiao Fan had actually reached the Great Perfection of the Seventh Level of the Yuanhun Realm, only one step away from the Eighth Level!

“Seventh Level Great Perfection,” Xiao Fan said calmly; he was also in a good mood.

“This…” Hou Wanli was shocked. He wasn't surprised by Wei Zhongshan's Breakthrough, but Xiao Fan was different from Wei Zhongshan.

One had to know that for prodigies capable of challenging those at higher levels, every Breakthrough was extremely difficult because the spiritual power required was far more massive!

And yet…

Xiao Fan had actually advanced two minor sub-Realms in just half a month!

Given Xiao Fan's strength to challenge those at higher levels, he might truly be able to fight those in the Yuding Realm now!

Wei Zhongshan rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He had originally thought his own Breakthrough was fast enough, but he didn't expect Xiao Fan to be even faster.

Xiao Fan shook his head with a bitter smile. If it weren't for those few Ancient Artifacts, he wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly.

“By the way… is there a Storehouse in the Divine Palace?” Xiao Fan suddenly asked, looking at Hou Wanli.

“Yes, yes… Your Majesty, would you like to take a look?” Hou Wanli asked.

“Lead the way; I want to see it.” Xiao Fan's expression brightened with joy.

Xiao Fan's Foundation was solid. Every time he broke through a Realm, the spiritual power he needed to refine was simply incomparable to others of the same level!!

In truth, Xiao Fan didn't realize how large this amount was…

In reality, the spiritual power he needed to advance a minor sub-Realm in the Yuanhun Realm was equivalent to what a Yuding Realm expert needed to advance a minor sub-Realm!

“Very well, Your Majesty, please follow me.” Hou Wanli led the way.
