"Eh, you've broken through again?" When Xuanji asked this question, Ling Dong was also a little surprised. He replied gloomily, "No, how can it be so fast?"
"Hmph, you don't mean what you say! My eyesight isn't bad! " After rolling her eyes at Ling Dong, Princess Xuanji turned her head away in disgust. Born in the royal family, she hated this kind of idiot who pretended not to know anything!
At this moment, Ling Dong had an innocent look on his face! He had worked hard for half the night and an entire morning to absorb the silver energy from the fourteen and a half Star Pearls, but he really hadn't broken through.
But his cultivation had soared to the peak of the fourth grade of the Earth Emanations Realm. He was only a breath away from the fifth grade of the Earth Emanations Realm. But that breath of air had caused Ling Dong to waste close to two hours. There was still a huge amount of energy in one of the Star Pearls, but he still hadn't broken through!
Ling Dong was also very depressed. He had met with a cultivation bottleneck again! And this time, the cultivation bottleneck was more severe. Ling Dong had taken two Blood Orchid Tribulation Nullifying Elixirs and still hadn't broken through this bottleneck. Ling Dong knew that he had met with a tough opponent this time!
Actually, Ling Dong also knew that it was normal for him to meet with this kind of bottleneck that couldn't be resolved even with the Blood Orchid Tribulation Nullifying Elixir. It would be strange if he didn't meet with it!
As the saying goes, there are always pros and cons. This was referring to Ling Dong's current situation.
Ling Dong was able to absorb the silver energy from the Star Pearls to rapidly raise his cultivation in a short period of time. This kind of thing was too good. And Ling Dong had obtained quite a number of Star Pearls. First, he had used the energy in the Star Pearls to break through to the third grade of the Earth Emanations Realm. Then, he had broken through to the fourth grade of the Earth Emanations Realm. Ling Dong had even taken the Blood Orchid Tribulation Nullifying Elixir to resolve his cultivation bottleneck!
But now, Ling Dong had made use of this Star Pearl to raise his cultivation level to the peak of the fourth grade of the Earth Realm. Then, trouble came.
The advantage of using the silver energy in the Star Bead to rapidly increase his cultivation was that it was extremely fast. However, the disadvantage was that his cultivation would increase overnight. Not to mention a solid foundation, Ling Dong's body was still not used to the sudden increase in his cultivation overnight!
Even though Ling Dong's cultivation was at the peak of the fourth grade of the Earth Realm, it was already not bad for him to be able to unleash the power of the initial stage of the fourth grade of the Earth Realm. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Ling Dong didn't encounter a bottleneck that was hard to break through!
This was also the reason why Ling Dong was depressed. If he couldn't break through this bottleneck for a long time, wouldn't that mean that he wouldn't be able to use the Star Pearls to increase his cultivation level in a short period of time? One must know that the opportunity to obtain the Star Pearls was extremely rare. Not to mention that it only appeared once every sixty years, after sixty years, Ling Dong would definitely not have the chance to enter the Heaven Reaching Mystic Land again!
But what made Ling Dong even more depressed was that his cultivation had clearly not broken through, but Princess Xuanji insisted that he had. She even acted as if he was a liar and a fool.
"That's right, Junior Brother. Your cultivation level should have broken through, right? Why do I sense that your cultivation level has broken through to the Earth Realm? Junior Brother, did you break through to the fourth grade of the Earth Realm? It can't be that fast, right? " Seeing Princess Xuanji walking to the side in a huff, Qiu Qingyi covered her mouth with her hand and had a look of disbelief!
Among this group of people, Qiu Qingyi was the clearest about Ling Dong's true cultivation level.
When they entered the Heaven Reaching Mystic Land, Ling Dong's cultivation level was at the second grade of the Earth Realm. She could sense that Ling Dong's cultivation level was around Xiantian Realm Level Seven or Eight. When she saw him last night, she sensed that Ling Dong's cultivation level was at Xiantian Realm Level Nine. To be precise, he should have broken through to the third grade of the Earth Realm!
Under such circumstances, Qiu Qingyi guessed that Ling Dong's cultivation level should have broken through to the fourth grade of the Earth Realm. Hence, she tried to hide her surprise and asked softly to test him.
"That's right, Big Brother Ling. I also sensed that your cultivation level has broken through to the Earth Realm!" Tu Bai interrupted from the side. When she heard Qiu Qingyi's words, her eyes immediately widened. "Big Brother Ling, it can't be. Your cultivation level is really at the fourth grade of the Earth Realm?" Tu Bai trusted her senior sister's judgment!
It wasn't that Tu Bai was surprised. Before entering the Heaven Reaching Mystic Land, Ling Dong's cultivation level was only at the second grade of the Earth Realm. If Ling Dong's cultivation level had broken through to the third grade of the Earth Realm within this period of time, neither Tu Bai nor Qiu Qingyi would be surprised!
However, to raise his cultivation level from the second grade of the Earth Realm to the fourth grade of the Earth Realm within a few days was definitely a piece of news that would confuse most people!
Looking at Qiu Qingyi and Tu Bai's widened eyes, Ling Dong smiled helplessly and nodded at Qiu Qingyi. "Senior Sister, I got lucky this time, so my cultivation level has broken through to the fourth grade of the Earth Realm!"
Ling Dong didn't want to lie to Qiu Qingyi. Even if he did, it wouldn't last long. If there was a big battle in the next few days, Ling Dong's true cultivation level would be forced to reveal itself!
"Sss …" Tu Bai and Qiu Qingyi, who got a definite answer, gasped. Even if he got lucky, this cultivation speed was rare in the world!
Looking at Qiu Qingyi's and Tu Bai's shocked expressions, Ling Dong's mouth twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "If these two knew that my cultivation level was only one step away from the fifth grade of the Earth Realm, how shocked would they be? Their chin would definitely hit their toes! "
"What? You said that you sensed that my cultivation level had already broken through to the Earth Realm?" While Tu Bai and Qiu Qingyi were shocked, Ling Dong sensed something unusual. Logically speaking, he hadn't broken through to the fifth grade of the Earth Realm. Under the cover of the Astral Compass, his exposed cultivation level should be around Xiantian Realm Level Nine!
When Tu Bai and Qiu Qingyi nodded at the same time, Ling Dong knew why Princess Xuanji, Qiu Qingyi, and Tu Bai misunderstood that he had broken through to the ninth grade of the Earth Realm!
The reason should be the Astral Compass!
The Astral Compass had an inexplicable effect on Ling Dong's true cultivation level! When Ling Dong's cultivation level was at Xiantian Realm Level Seven or Eight, others could sense that Ling Dong's cultivation level was only at Xiantian Realm Level Two or Three! It concealed five to six levels of his cultivation level!
However, Ling Dong realized that as his cultivation level got stronger, the Astral Compass' concealment effect on his true cultivation level seemed to be weakening. This was also the main reason for this misunderstanding!
"It seems like the higher my cultivation level, the less effective the Astral Compass will be in concealing my true cultivation level! I'm afraid that after entering the Heaven Star Border Realm, I'll be able to conceal two levels at most! " This was the conclusion that Ling Dong came to after today's incident. It was a more concrete conclusion about the mysterious effects of the Astral Compass!
"Are you done showing off? If you're done, then hurry up and set off. Don't forget the agreement between you and me! "Seeing Ling Dong like this, Princess Xuanji urged him again with some dissatisfaction!
"Who's showing off? Does Brother Ling still need to show off his cultivation level? He … "
"Little Bai, alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and set off!" Princess Xuanji's questioning of Ling Dong aroused Tu Bai's strong dissatisfaction. When Tu Bai wanted to defend Ling Dong, she was stopped by Ling Dong.
Ling Dong didn't want Gu Tongtian's fiancée, Princess Xuanji, to know too much about his situation. Now that they were in a cooperative relationship, it was hard to say whether they would be enemies or friends in the future!
Now that Princess Xuanji already knew that Ling Dong had the Immortal Gold, if she knew more, Ling Dong's desire to silence her would be even stronger!
"Junior Brother, now that we've gathered together, and we have a lot of Star Beads on hand, we're only missing a few …" At this point, Qiu Qingyi's gaze suddenly fell on Ling Dong's waist. She realized that the eye-catching bag of Star Beads that Ling Dong had hung around his waist last night was gone!
Fortunately, Qiu Qingyi knew that there were outsiders around, so she didn't ask. After a pause, she asked, "Junior Brother, tell me, where should we go next? When Senior Brother Sect Leader came, he told us to listen to you!"
"Where should we go? Isn't it obvious? We're definitely going to the Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction. Gu Tongtian and the rest should be nearby! "Princess Xuanji said directly!
"Who's Gu Tongtian? Why should we look for him? "Tu Bai asked, puzzled.
"That's the agreement between me and him. You can ask him!" Princess Xuanji pointed at Ling Dong rudely and said.
Seeing that Tu Bai and Qiu Qingyi were staring at him, Ling Dong coughed lightly and said, "Senior Sister, Little Bai, we're indeed going to the Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction! As for the reason, I'll tell you when I have the chance. Just remember, I won't harm … "
"Junior Brother, don't say anymore. We trust you! We'll go wherever you tell us to go! "Qiu Qingyi interrupted Ling Dong and said confidently.
Tu Bai chuckled and said, "Do I even need to say it? My life belongs to Brother Ling. Wherever Brother Ling points, I'll fight! "After a night's rest and with Ling Dong's help, the one-armed Tu Bai's mentality had recovered very well!
"Since that's the case, let's set off quickly. If they enter Connecting Heaven Palace later, you won't be able to fulfill your agreement with me!" Princess Xuanji said.
"There's no hurry. Before we set off, let's study the route to the Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction!" Ling Dong casually drew a sketch on the ground and said, "According to Eighth Brother's instructions, which is the content of the unspoken rules of the Heaven-receiving Secret Land, the Hidden Star Palace occupies the dominant position. Therefore, the Star Transmission Pillars in the east and west directions have always been exclusive to the Hidden Star Palace. And the disciples of the Hidden Star Palace, after gathering, will hunt warriors near the Star Transmission Pillars in the east and west directions!
Wang You Palace occupies the second position and occupies the Star Transmission Pillars in the north and south direction to hunt martial artists! Our current position is between the southwest Star Teleportation Pillar and the south Star Teleportation Pillar. There are a total of three paths to reach the northwest Star Teleportation Pillar! "Ling Dong paused when he spoke up to this point.
"Junior Brother, continue!" Qiu Qingyi said.
"The first path is the fastest. From our current position, we will pass through the Star Transmission Pillar in the west and arrive at the Star Transmission Pillar in the northwest direction. It will take the shortest time, at most three days to reach our destination! However, it is very likely that we will encounter the disciples of Hidden Star Palace! "Ling Dong said.
Hearing this, Tu Bai, Qiu Qingyi, and Princess Xuanji shook their heads and said, "This path is too dangerous. We can't take it!"
After the three of them rejected Ling Dong's suggestion, Princess Xuanji said alone, "Even if we are twice as strong, we will still die if we encounter the disciples of Hidden Star Palace, let alone the four of us!"
"What about the second path?" Qiu Qingyi frowned and asked.

PS: Thank you for the reminder, Brother Heiyi! Bow!
Chapter 428 has a bug that affects reading! In paragraph 21, it states that the Frostflame Ice Tiger King is a Middle Stage Earth Realm beast. In paragraph 23, it states that the Frostflame Ice Tiger King is a Middle Stage Heaven Realm beast. The paragraph 21 is a typo!
The Frostflame Ice Tiger King should be a Middle Stage Heaven Realm beast!
Once again, Brother Heiyi, thank you for your reminder. Heh, give me a bear hug! (*^__^*)！ (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
