The verdant peach trees in the valley, nurtured and thriving, unfurled their branches and leaves with exuberant vitality.

Spirit Rain dripped upon the golden leaves of the Bodhi Holy Tree, rapidly seeping in. Instantly, the Bodhi Golden Light that it emitted shone even more splendidly.

Jiang Che stood under the Spirit Rain, closed his eyes, and focused on guiding the Spiritual Power within him, letting it circulate continuously through his meridians and converge into the Demon Pill.

As time passed, the aura fluctuations emanating from Jiang Che grew increasingly intense and formidable, immensely terrifying.

Meanwhile, the purple-gold light emitted by the Demon Pill had already penetrated his flesh and surged outward, the dazzling light enveloping his entire body.

At this moment, the noble purple-gold light and the holy golden light emitted by the Bodhi Holy Tree intermingled in the mountain valley, resplendent beyond compare.

On the other side.

"Finally broke through to the third tier! With the Spiritual Power Shield, I no longer need to fear human guns and cannons!"

In the Cyan Stone Pool, Nangong Luo slowly opened her eyes, having just completed a breakthrough, still immersed in her excitement.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Nangong Luo was attracted by the dazzling purple-gold light, and her gaze shifted over.

Big Brother... has broken through again?

Feeling the increasing power fluctuations from her Big Brother, Nangong Luo's eyes widened, and she felt deeply frustrated.

Her Big Brother's strikes always come at such a timely manner!

Nangong Luo's recent excitement instantly vanished into thin air.

"For others, cultivation slows down later on.

Big Brother, how is it that you only keep getting faster?"

Nangong Luo sighed inwardly, shaking her head helplessly.

"No wonder he's the reincarnation of an Ancient Demon God!"

Racking her brains but unable to understand, she could only attribute this absurd phenomenon to Jiang Che's identity.

Perhaps only the enigmatic Ancient Immortal Gods could possess such an unreasonable cultivation speed.

Then, Nangong Luo got up, stepped out of the Cyan Stone Pool, shook off the water from her fur, and silently waited for her Big Brother to finish his breakthrough.

Time blew on slowly, and Spirit Rain continued to fall.

Bang!

Suddenly, Jiang Che's body shook violently. The Spiritual Power finally completed its transformation, and within, the Demon Pill twirled energetically, its surface marked with purple-gold lines that danced continuously, suddenly blooming with radiant light.

Roar!

Jiang Che jumped to his feet, his limbs pounded the earth, causing a thunderous tremor. Like a fearless giant defying the heavens, he roared toward the sky, unparalleled in majesty, a mighty aura surged from within him, sweeping the four corners!

A tiger's roar, seemingly penetrating souls, instantly echoed throughout Changbai Mountain.

The terrifying roar forced all beasts to prostrate themselves, bodies trembling uncontrollably, fear apparent in their eyes.

Some ferocious beasts were so frightened they defecated uncontrollably.

All beasts fell silent, and Changbai Mountain became a place of utter silence.

"Hahaha! It's truly exhilarating, the speed of this cultivation progress is just so fast!"

Jiang Che felt the immense power within him, his heart immeasurably elated.

At this moment, his cultivation had reached the peak of Tier Four.

Only one step remained for him to break through to Tier Five.

Currently, in the entire Great Qin Empire, along with Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan, Tier Three ferocious beasts were probably as rare as phoenix feathers, while he was already approaching Tier Five.

With almost two major tiers of difference, in the future, no one could catch up to him.

"Big Brother, I think your cultivation is about to break through to Tier Five, right?"

Nangong Luo looked at Jiang Che, saying enviously.

Without doing anything, just standing there, his powerful oppressive aura made Nangong Luo's heart quiver, her limbs weak.

Her heart continuously warned her, this man is undefeatable.

"Hehe, that's right, next time, I will certainly break through to Tier Five!"

"And Third Sister is not bad either, you've already successfully broken through to Tier Three, much stronger than other fierce beasts!"

Jiang Che smiled, nodding slightly, praising Nangong Luo.

His breakthrough also owed a part to his younger siblings' efforts.

If it weren't for Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan achieving the breakthrough to Tier Three almost simultaneously, the strong feedback received wouldn't have allowed Jiang Che's cultivation to elevate to the peak of Tier Four all at once.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Luo felt slightly discontented and didn't really want to talk to him anymore.

Tier Three!

Originally breaking through to Tier Three, she was indeed quite happy, after all, past Tier Three is Tier Four, indicating she was a step closer to Big Brother.

But who would have thought, just as she broke through, Big Brother also followed suit.

Even on the Tier Four threshold, he had made a significant leap, only a step away from Tier Five.

In such circumstances, who wouldn't feel unsettled in their heart?

Especially when one cultivates day and night laboriously, yet finds others progressing rapidly while seemingly doing nothing.

Were it not for the past life experience serving as support, Nangong Luo presumed she might have been crushed and given up long ago.

After all, her Big Brother was extraordinarily gifted, surely to become a figure among Immortal Gods; could it not be joyous to follow and enjoy the protection?

Listening to Nangong Luo's internal grievances, Jiang Che suppressed a laugh, pretending nothing was amiss.

At this moment, an unusual fragrance swept over, entering his nostrils.

The fragrance was so mystical, upon inhaling it in, Jiang Che felt as though a spring breeze caressed him, his body and soul undergoing a baptism, immensely comfortable; waves of warmth flowed through his body, akin to soaking in a hot spring.

Nangong Luo beside him also caught the scent, understanding instantly, she looked toward the Bodhi Holy Tree with surprise, "Big Brother, the Bodhi Fruit has ripened!"

"!"

Hearing this, Jiang Che was startled, hastily looking towards the Bodhi Holy Tree.

He discovered, sure enough, changes had occurred.

Upon the treetop, the previously thumb-sized Bodhi Fruit had somehow swelled to the size of a coin.

The Bodhi Fruit emanated a brilliant golden glow, gradually collecting, returning to its original simplicity, the light no longer as radiant as before.

At this moment, the Bodhi Fruit appeared like crystal-clear dark golden spheres, with strands of dark golden substance continuously flowing within, among which dotted golden lights, resembling rotating star galaxies in a golden cosmos, mysteriously profound.

"It ripened so quickly?"

Jiang Che looked at Nangong Luo with some excitement.

Previously he thought it would take several months; after all, the Bodhi Fruit is not an ordinary Spirit Fruit, extremely precious, and should take a long time to mature.

Who would have thought it ripened in just ten days?

"It must be due to our breakthrough, receiving a massive baptism of Spiritual Qi causing the Bodhi Fruit to mature early."

Nangong Luo pondered for a moment, then looking up, spoke her guess aloud.

During her and Big Brother's breakthroughs, massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were drawn in, presumably benefitting the Bodhi Holy Tree as well.

"Since it's ripe, let's pick it!"

The aroma of the Bodhi Fruit was indeed enticing, and Jiang Che could feel every cell in his body urging him to act quickly.

Jiang Che and Nangong Luo exchanged glances, together moving closer to the Bodhi Holy Tree.

Meanwhile, Little Purple climbed swiftly onto Jiang Che's body, stood atop his head, eyes fixed straightly on the Bodhi Fruit upon the tree's tip, salivating eagerly.
