Moonset and dawn, time flies in the blink of an eye.
Above the Lu family's residence, the sky had gradually brightened.
But within Zhou Xuan's room, to be precise, within the space of the Void Ring on his bedside.
Everything appeared to be as it was before.
Until...
"Boom!"
Accompanying a terrifying commotion, a vast pressure erupted from the space within the Void Ring.
This pressure, along with vigorous true qi, churned the previously peaceful void into chaos.
Simultaneously, this disturbance naturally awoke those who were still cultivating within this ethereal space.
"Hiss!"
"This pressure?"
"Has the boss broken through?"
"Before, he was at the early stage of the Creation Realm!"
"This current pressure is more than a little stronger than before!"
"It seems the boss has indeed broken through to the mid-stage of the Creation Realm!"
"Alas!"
"The boss's cultivation talent is truly terrifying!"
"A mid-stage Creation Realm expert before the age of twenty!"
"To search through past and present!"
"It would likely be difficult to find anyone comparable!"
"Inadvertently, I have witnessed history!"
"A thousand years from now, if future generations learn of this matter!"
"I can also bask in the boss's glory and be remembered in history!"
"No, I cannot be so decadent!"
"The boss said he does not take useless people!"
"If the boss can break through, why can't I?"
"My cultivation must be even more diligent from now on!"
"Strive to catch up to the boss's pace soon!"
"Otherwise, how will I have the face to accompany the boss in the future!"
Within the ethereal space, Hei Hu, awakened by this formidable pressure.
Looking at Zhou Xuan nearby, who was radiating vigorous true qi.
He first sucked in a cold breath, then silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his heart.
He truly hadn't expected that Zhou Xuan, just last night, had set goals for him and himself.
And this morning, Zhou Xuan had already broken through a realm.
Although he had cultivated throughout the night.
He felt a significant increase in the true qi within his body.
But he was still some distance away from breaking through!
They started cultivating at the same time.
Yet their achievements were not the same.
This made Hei Hu admire Zhou Xuan's cultivation talent from the bottom of his heart.
And also subtly urged himself in his heart.
He decided that he could no longer slack off in his cultivation.
Because he wanted to strive to follow in Zhou Xuan's footsteps!
Since his talent was not as good as Zhou Xuan's, he decided to make up for it with diligence!
After all, he didn't want Zhou Xuan to become a great figure standing at the pinnacle of the world in the future.
While he could only stand afar as an onlooker.
What he wanted was to always be by Zhou Xuan's side.
And to also become a person who reached the highest peak!
"Hoo!"
"Finally reached the mid-stage of the Creation Realm!"
"Previous breakthroughs in cultivation were always smooth sailing!"
"Only this time, I was stuck for almost half a year!"
"It seems my master was right!"
"The further one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to advance!"
"It took nearly half a year just to break through from the early stage to the mid-stage!"
"It will probably be even more difficult from the mid-stage to the late stage!"
"The path of cultivation is truly long and arduous!"
At the same time, Zhou Xuan, who had just broken through, was unaware.
Of how much stimulation he had inadvertently given Hei Hu with his actions.
Currently, he was experiencing his newly broken-through body.
While also complaining softly about his cultivation progress!
This fellow, who didn't understand the situation.
His current thoughts were the complete opposite of Hei Hu's!
He not only didn't feel that his cultivation progress was fast.
Instead, he felt that breaking through a minor realm in half a year.
Was indeed too slow!
Of course, this couldn't be blamed on his "humblebragging."
The main reason was that his cultivation experience was indeed different from "ordinary people" like Hei Hu!
Just as his ancestor, Zhou Shenglong, had admonished him.
Zhou Xuan's cultivation had always been smooth sailing.
So he naturally believed that cultivation was an easy matter.
But for "ordinary people" like Hei Hu, it was the opposite.
Because their cultivation experiences were always full of hardships.
So they naturally felt how incredible it was for Zhou Xuan to reach his current stage at this age.
This was essentially the difference in experience leading to a difference in perspective.
"Forget it, slow is slow!"
"As long as I can reach the late stage of the Creation Realm in half a year!"
"This is nothing!"
Without dwelling on the issue of cultivation progress.
Zhou Xuan forcibly suppressed the vibrations caused by his breakthrough in cultivation.
Then he turned and called out to Hei Hu, who had also stopped cultivating.
After Hei Hu walked up to him, they didn't exchange many words.
Zhou Xuan once again gently caressed the Void Ring on his left hand.
With another flash of brilliant light.
The figures of both of them disappeared from the space of the Void Ring.
Reappearing, they were already in Zhou Xuan's room!
"Alright, the sky has brightened!"
"Today's cultivation ends here!"
"Don't forget to come to my place to cultivate every night from now on!"
"Go back quickly now!"
"Otherwise, if your sister-in-law comes to wake me up later!"
"And finds you in my room!"
"Who knows what she will think of us!"
After returning to the room, Zhou Xuan first gave Hei Hu a few instructions.
Then he directly issued a guest-leaving order.
Although Hei Hu's foolish thoughts last night had made Zhou Xuan very unhappy.
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
He now felt it was better to have Hei Hu disappear from his room quickly.
Lest someone see them coming out of the same room early in the morning.
And truly have some bad associations.
Then he would have nowhere to cry!
"Hehe!"
"Understood, Big Brother!"
"This is our secret!"
"See you tonight then!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan issue the guest-leaving order, Hei Hu chuckled.
Then he deliberately responded to Zhou Xuan with a few words of significant meaning.
After that, just as the veins on Zhou Xuan's forehead were bulging, about to get angry.
He directly pushed open the door and ran out quickly.
This made Zhou Xuan, who was filled with anger, feel like he wanted to pull out the Lingtian Battle Halberd.
And kill this fool with a single strike!
"Forget it, forget it!"
"Getting angry early in the morning is bad for the liver!"
"You fool, just wait and see how I'll deal with you tonight!"
Seeing that Hei Hu's figure had long since disappeared.
Zhou Xuan, sitting on the bedside, took several deep breaths.
Before slowly suppressing the anger and murderous intent in his heart!
But who knew, just as he had put on his shoes and socks.
And was about to go out to fetch water to wash up.
He suddenly saw, at the corner outside his room.
Lu Ling'er standing there with a sullen face, staring at him fixedly.
On that delicate and flawless little face, Zhou Xuan read a trace of shock and confusion.
At this moment, he knew that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name!
