"This is truly possible..." The Saint Ancestors stared at Wu Tianjun and said. If what Wu Tianjun said was true, they could quickly reach the late stage of the Saint Ancestor Realm. The thought alone made them feel insane.
"Hmph! When have I ever been wrong?" Wu Tianjun smirked. "Although it won't immediately grant you the combat power of a seventh-step Saint Ancestor, your cultivation will be at that level. As long as you have enough time to describe the new world, you will very quickly reach the true seventh-step Saint Ancestor!"
"This..." The Protectors didn't know what to say. Originally, with the Scarlet Heaven Pills, their future cultivation would already surpass all other Saint Ancestor Realm cultivators. A Saint Ancestor Realm cultivator, once they took a step, would almost certainly reach the peak within a thousand years. This was the advantage of having described a world in the Divine Realm beforehand. With the Lightning Tribulation Fluid that Wu Tianjun provided, along with other cultivation resources, they were confident they could reach the peak of a cultivation step within ten years. The most difficult part of the Saint Ancestor Realm was dealing with the repulsive force of the inner worlds.
"Hmm! Xiao Kong!" Wu Tianjun spoke to the space.
"I will give my full effort!" A light projection appeared and said. It was the will of the Inner World, also known as Xiao Kong.
"Which of you wants to try first..." Wu Tianjun swept his gaze over the Twelve Protectors and said.
"Hmph! How about I go first! After all, my physical body is the strongest here, so the risk will be minimized if I try!" Mo Lian took the lead, saying that the others were still not as confident as he was.
"Good! You go first!" Wu Tianjun smiled and said, knowing that there was still some risk involved. "You imbue him with the power of the Inner World. If that power is too strong, suppress it..." He said to Xiao Kong.
"Hmph!" Xiao Kong agreed and then focused his gaze on Mo Lian.
"..." Mo Lian took a Scarlet Heaven Pill and swallowed it, while simultaneously paying attention to his inner body. He began to develop the third minor world!
"Imbue his body with power..." Wu Tianjun said to Xiao Kong. They were still close to Mo Lian at this moment, so they could directly observe his situation.
"..." A terrifying power immediately appeared. It was the power of the entire Inner World of this Space-Time, so even the Saint Ancestors could not move an inch. This kind of power was an insurmountable wall for them in the Saint Ancestor Realm.
"Terrifying! Is this the power of a Half-Step Chaos Realm's Inner World?" The Protectors murmured in shock. Faced with this kind of power, they were still tiny, without any chance of resistance.
"Hmm!" Mo Lian's body was imbued with that immense power. The power generated by the new world he was developing had no adverse effect on him. Indeed, Wu Tianjun was not wrong. With the power of the Inner World imbued, the various negative forces generated by the new Inner World were suppressed to the point where they could not greatly affect Mo Lian's body.
"Young Master! I think I can still use a Scarlet Heaven Pill!" Mo Lian said confidently.
"Haha! As expected, it's not wrong..." Wu Tianjun didn't hesitate and threw out another Scarlet Heaven Pill. Just holding it in his hand, he could feel the Scarlet Heaven Pill resisting. One should know that Saint-grade elixirs could already develop sentience. This Scarlet Heaven Pill had only recently been refined, so it only had a little sentience. It would be a very long time before it could develop full intelligence.
As Mo Lian swallowed the first Scarlet Heaven Pill, his cultivation almost immediately jumped to the third step of the Saint Ancestor realm. Although it was very unstable and fleeting, it was undoubtedly the third step of the Saint Ancestor realm. The reason was that his second minor world had not truly developed to its peak. What Wu Tianjun did this time was to open up new minor worlds within Mo Lian, and then let Mo Lian simultaneously develop them! Of course, to achieve this, first, Scarlet Heaven Pills were needed, and second, someone capable of resisting and controlling the backlash of power and the pressure on the body was needed. Otherwise, it would be courting death! Looking at the entire starry sky at this moment, it was likely that only Wu Tianjun could accomplish this.
"Young Master is indeed prescient..." Chi Danzi exhaled and said. When Mo Lian swallowed the Scarlet Heaven Pill, the nerves of the several protectors were all stretched taut. If this succeeded, their cultivation would take a leap. In less than twenty years, they could reach the peak of the Saint Ancestor realm. The Thunder Tribulation Liquid had greatly strengthened their soul power, making it easier to comprehend the world... Following the Young Master was probably the best decision they had ever made.
"It seems the stronger the physique, the higher the cultivation will reach this time..." Kuang Wu, the Fifth Protector, said. Among them, after Mo Lian, his physique was the strongest. His cultivation could rival the previous four protectors.
"Hmm! Since Young Master said so, it must be true..." The Twelfth Protector said.
"Boom!" As the protectors were discussing, a loud explosion seemed to emanate from within Mo Lian's body. His fourth minor world had been successfully opened, and his cultivation had reached the fourth step of the Saint Ancestor realm! In less than half an hour, his cultivation had advanced two steps in the Saint Ancestor realm, something countless Saint Ancestor realm cultivators could not achieve in their entire lives. It should be known that their lifespans were already incredibly long, usually several million years.
"Haha! How exhilarating! Young Master!" Mo Lian laughed loudly. If people knew that he had broken through two Saint Ancestor realms in such a short time, wouldn't they be furious to death? The breakthrough just now also brought considerable pressure to his body, but it didn't affect him much. He could still continue to absorb Scarlet Heaven Pills and open up new inner worlds!
"Hmph! I'm afraid you can't swallow them all! This Young Master has enough Scarlet Heaven Pills for all of you!" Wu Tianjun said with a laugh, then threw out another Scarlet Heaven Pill. Within this Space-Time World, he had asked Xiao Kong to find more than a dozen kinds of sacred medicines. Among them, he also found Scarlet Heaven Grass and its seeds. This place had become his medicinal garden. With Xiao Kong present, no sacred medicine could escape his grasp; they were all turned into materials for alchemy.
"Boom..." An hour later, Mo Lian reached the fifth step of the Saint Ancestor realm.
"Boom..." Two hours later, he reached the sixth step of the Saint Ancestor realm.
"Boom..." Four hours later, he set foot on the seventh step of the Saint Ancestor realm.
"Boom..." Six hours later, he reached the eighth step of the Saint Ancestor realm! However, his condition was a bit miserable; this was his limit. Leaping six steps to reach the heaven-defying cultivation of the eighth step of the Saint Ancestor realm, this was because his Demonic Body had been cultivated with the Primordial Imperial Clan's Sacred Art for several years, strengthening it to a terrifying state. He had even touched the third step of the power of Life, the Realm of Power!
His terrifying physique naturally helped his cultivation increase significantly, but the backlash generated by the eighth step, even when controlled to the maximum by Xiao Kong, was difficult for him to endure. Many parts of his body cracked, and blood seeped through his robes. Although it wasn't life-threatening, he was severely injured, and if not treated promptly, the sequelae would likely be considerable.
"Hmph! It's nothing!" Wu Tianjun appeared beside Mo Lian, placing a hand on his shoulder. Life force immediately surged into Mo Lian's body like a flood. His life force had truly reached the Realm of Power, far more potent than Mo Lian's. Although he couldn't instantly heal Mo Lian, he could alleviate his injuries. The rest would be for Mo Lian to slowly nourish and recover himself, which probably wouldn't take too long.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Mo Lian opened his eyes, a faint smile on his lips. Wu Tianjun's willingness to use his life force for him was not something just anyone would do.
"Alright! Rest for a while! Then I'll let you all go out to undergo tribulation," Wu Tianjun said indifferently. "As long as you are my subordinate, I won't let you die so easily!"
"..." Mo Lian's eyes flickered upon hearing this. What more could they ask for, following such a master? "Thank you, Young Master!" he said again.
"Alright!" Wu Tianjun said, then turned to the other guardians. "I will only let you reach a maximum of the seventh step of the Saint Ancestor realm. You probably can't reach higher yet; you can make further breakthroughs later!"
"Yes, Young Master!" The eleven remaining guardians said in unison. They understood that Wu Tianjun was right; that was their current limit. It would be better for them to nourish themselves for a while and then continue to make breakthroughs!
Afterward, Wu Zixuan began his breakthrough. His initial cultivation was probably at the same level as Mo Lian's, but his physique was significantly weaker. Therefore, just as Wu Tianjun said, he reached his limit at the seventh step of the Saint Ancestor realm. After this experience, all the guardians realized the immense advantages of cultivating the physical body. Not to mention the stronger and more enduring combat power, the ability to recover after injury became even more apparent! They would focus more on body cultivation in the future. With the cultivation method of the Primordial Demonic Vein Royal Clan, that was the top-tier body cultivation technique in this starfield. It was absolutely ranked first. The Primordial Demonic Clan's dominance in the Primordial Era was largely due to this cultivation method. In the Primordial Era, it was called the Saint Art. This was one of their advantages!
Subsequently, the other guardians made their breakthroughs. At this time, only the Five Guardians of Kuang Wu broke through to the seventh step of the Saint Ancestor realm. The remaining ten only reached the sixth step of the Saint Ancestor realm and could not make further breakthroughs. Of course, after they completed their breakthroughs, Wu Tianjun immediately used his life force to heal them. This rushed breakthrough process, if not handled carefully, could leave sequelae. Wu Tianjun was naturally unwilling to let his subordinates stop at the Saint Ancestor realm. He wanted them to at least reach the Void Realm. This was his ideal and the goal he would strive for. He believed he would succeed!
The Twelve Guardians took nine days to achieve their breakthrough. Yu Tianjun had used his life force to heal them, so he was currently meditating with his eyes closed. As for the Twelve Guardians, they were still receiving power augmentation from Xiao Kong. They needed time to adapt to their cultivation levels, and their new internal worlds needed time to stabilize.
The Eight Great Spirit Bodies, who had successfully passed their tribulations, were all waiting inside Demon Dragon City. Xiao Kong was currently focused on the Twelve Guardians and didn't have time to bring them in. However, at this moment, Demon Dragon City not only contained the Eight Great Spirit Sons but also another person: a middle-aged man. He was none other than the Tianlang Saint Ancestor, whom Yu Tianjun had recently taken as a subordinate. His cultivation had unexpectedly reached the peak of the first step of the Saint Ancestor realm!
"You're saying that Young Master and the Twelve Guardians are making breakthroughs inside the Space-Time World?" Tianlang Saint Ancestor asked in surprise. These young lads had gone outside to break through, so they told him. When he submitted to Yu Tianjun, he didn't know who this mysterious Young Master was, but ever since news spread from the Demon Sea, he knew that the Young Master was the Yu family member who had fought with Cang Sheng, the one who had blocked the Void Great Power within the Demon Sea... When he found out, he was both shocked and overjoyed! He was following a formidable giant who dominated the starry sky; this was his good fortune.
"Yes! Half a month has passed, they're probably about to come out to undergo their tribulations!" Feng Daoling put away his mischievous expression from teasing Huo Yunfeng. They, the Eight Great Saint Sons, were somewhat resistant to this Tianlang Saint Ancestor. After all, Tianlang Saint Ancestor was a Demon Race member and had only recently joined as Yu Tianjun's subordinate. This was understandable.
"I truly look forward to seeing what realm they will reach..." Tianlang Saint Ancestor had lived for many years and naturally understood this, but he didn't bother much with these little brats. This was also understandable. He truly looked forward to seeing what cultivation the Guardians would possess when they emerged.
