"You brat, you've improved quite a bit!"

Tang Guan scratched his head, speaking with a solemn expression.

"If it weren't for Big Brother exhausting his efforts to build the Nirvana Tower, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Ascension Realm so quickly."

Gu Li's realm had also slightly improved, but he devoted almost all of his time to researching the Dao of篆符 (seal script).

During this time, he created dozens of篆符 powers that could assist in battle.

Li Guanqi, who had just returned, didn't even see Gu Li.

From Xiao Chen's words, he learned that Gu Li had been almost entirely at the Four Heavenly Kings Tower during this time.

The top alchemists of the Pill Tower were almost annoyed to death by him.

On the other hand, the old seniors of the符 Tower were now convinced by Gu Li's篆符 talent.

Several old men surrounded Gu Li every day, wanting him to become the Tower Master of the符 Tower, but Gu Li refused without even thinking about it.

Moreover, Gu Li was also quite popular in the器 Tower during this time.

Needless to say, the Formation Tower also admired Gu Li very much.

This guy almost single-handedly integrated the four towers' Daos with the Dao of篆符!!

Cao Yan and Xiao Chen were all amazed by the speed of Li Guanqi's recent strength improvement.

Moreover, Li Guanqi's entire temperament had become more refined, even giving people a demonic and enchanting feeling.

Of course, Li Guanqi didn't reveal too much about the Demon King Body.

He only said that he had some insights and had touched the barrier of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

And he generously told them all of his insights.

This also brought them a lot of inspiration, and they even began to re-examine their previous spiritual insights.

However, at this moment, an unexpected guest came to White Jade Tower!

Hong Zhi, in a red martial arts uniform, appeared in the Immortal Spirit Realm of the First Domain.

The moment Hong Zhi appeared, many cultivators were alarmed.

Many cultivators flew into the sky, looking at the surging aura of Hong Zhi.

Many cultivators were slightly stunned when they saw Hong Zhi arrive outside the White Jade Tower.

"Uh… Hong Zhi has come out of seclusion?"

"Could it be that Li Guanqi is back!!"

"Good heavens, to make Hong Zhi go into seclusion to stabilize her state, it seems that this Li Guanqi is terrifyingly strong."

As soon as this was said, it immediately drew nods of agreement from many people.

But some people raised other opinions.

"Li Guanqi's strength is certainly powerful, even much stronger than us…"

"But, don't forget one thing… Hong Zhi and Dragon Marquis are figures who have truly touched the barrier of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"

"Even Li Guanqi would find it difficult to defeat Hong Zhi…"

After this was said, many people nodded in agreement.

The essence of power is quite different between those whose aura can reach the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm and those who have truly touched the barrier of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, never expecting Hong Zhi to come directly here.

After pondering for a moment, Li Guanqi led everyone to the outside of the White Jade Tower.

Buzz!!

Li Guanqi took the lead, leading everyone to the outside of the White Jade Tower.

However, the moment Hong Zhi saw Li Guanqi, her pupils suddenly contracted!

The power in her body, as if threatened by an enormous force, uncontrollably dissipated!

The terrifying power dyed half of the void red.

The golden bell at the handle of the long saber shook wildly, the bell emitting hurried clanging sounds!!!

Li Guanqi, on the other hand, had a calm expression, maintaining a composed appearance from beginning to end.

He turned a blind eye to the terrifying pressure like a storm.

In contrast, Hong Zhi had a solemn expression, her eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on Li Guanqi.

Her left thumb straightened, unable to resist the urge to push the saber out of its sheath.

Hong Zhi looked at Li Guanqi not far away, her throat wriggling slightly.

She actually felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from Li Guanqi!!

Hong Zhi trusted her intuition and sixth sense too much.

This intuition and sixth sense had saved her life more than once.

And now, the bell on the scabbard frantically collided, transmitting dense clanging sounds.

This represented that the saber spirit in the scabbard also felt an enormous sense of threat.

"You… how did you suddenly become so powerful!!"

Hong Zhi's voice was full of doubt.

But then she realized something was wrong!!

Because she couldn't sense Li Guanqi's aura!!

Her pupils trembled, Hong Zhi spoke slowly and deeply.

"You… you tore through the Law barrier!!! You broke through to the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding onlookers gasped.

Hiss!!!

"He broke through!! Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm!!"

"Not only did his realm break through, but he also tore through the Law barrier!!"

"What terrifying talent… is this the demeanor of a monstrous genius?"

"In just a few months, his strength and realm have improved by an entire major level."

"This speed is too terrifying…"

Li Guanqi didn't hide anything when he heard this, nodding slightly.

"In response to Senior, this junior has indeed broken through to the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm."

Hong Zhi shook her head and smiled bitterly when she heard this.

A hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes.

In fact, it wasn't just a change in realm.

She could clearly sense that Li Guanqi's changes were more than that.

That feeling… as if the other party could put her to death at any time!!

Li Guanqi was like a wild beast resting with its eyes closed, and it was already terrifying enough even before revealing its fangs.

The bell sound subsided, and Hong Zhi slowly restrained her power.

She said with some unwillingness, but also helplessness.

"Your battle with me is already meaningless."

Li Guanqi bowed respectfully, not continuing to ask Hong Zhi to fight him.

Just as she said, the battle between the two was already meaningless.

Li Guanqi's strength was now enough to crush Hong Zhi.

Li Guanqi still respected this senior very much.

After all, the other party had helped him a lot on his cultivation path.

Hong Zhi glanced at Li Guanqi deeply after restraining her aura.

The woman's lips curled up slightly, and just as she turned around to leave, she suddenly looked back at Li Guanqi.

"You should still challenge Dragon Marquis, right?"

Li Guanqi's expression turned stern, and he said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Hong Zhi smiled, looking at Li Guanqi and saying.

"After your battle, I hope to spar with you!"

Hong Zhi didn't want to miss the opportunity to see a powerful opponent fight, so she made this request.

The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth rose, and he slowly spoke.

"Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Zhi agreed to it on behalf of Dragon Marquis.

"How about a battle with Dragon Marquis in three days?"

Li Guanqi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "If Senior Dragon Marquis has no problem, I naturally can."

Hong Zhi smiled slightly, turned around, waved her saber, and said.

"Then it's settled for three days later!"

Hong Zhi left, leaving behind a group of astonished great power cultivators looking at each other.

"This… Hong Zhi has conceded defeat??"

"Something's not right, what happened? Why did Hong Zhi concede defeat?"

"Could it be… that the current Li Guanqi is already so strong that he can make Hong Zhi lose without a fight?"

No one understood what was going on.

Perhaps only cultivators whose strength and realm have reached a certain level can feel how terrifying Li Guanqi's strength is now!!
