Boom! The first breakthrough pressure erupted.
Outside, Li Cheng took half a step back from the pressure. Li Yujian raised his hand and activated the stabilizing formation. Silver lines lit up across the chamber door.
At almost the same time, Lin Ruoqing's chamber also surged.
Her breakthrough was different from Cao Wen's.
Cao Wen's breakthrough was heavy, like a stone gate being pushed open.
The spiritual energy he had accumulated over years of frustrating stagnation suddenly began to surge like a breached dam straight into his meridians.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
A muffled shockwave of pure spiritual pressure rippled outward from the chamber, striking the protective barrier and causing the runes to flare. Down on the main floors, cultivators dining all turned their heads upward in disbelief.
"Did you feel that?" a cultivator whispered, his eyes wide. "That... that's the unmistakable sign of a breakthrough to the Soul Palace Realm!"
