In an instant, the entire Sword Pool seemed to boil over.

Countless Sword Qi, along with Spiritual Qi, rushed madly into Wang Junze's body, helping him complete the final breakthrough.

In fact, this benefit is inherently part of the Sword Pool.

Here, no other resources are needed; the Sword Pool itself is the best place for cultivation. As long as you can break through in the Sword Pool, there will definitely be enough power to sustain everything needed for the breakthrough.

Of course, that's if you can withstand the violent force here!

If your strength is insufficient and you force your way into the Sword Pool to break through, the influx of Sword Qi might directly destroy your meridians or even your Divine Soul, which is no different from committing suicide.

The changes in the Sword Pool were not only noticed by Luo Qingxuan. The elder responsible for guarding the Sword Pool also detected the anomaly. While informing Zhou Dongfei of the news, he personally entered the Sword Pool to prevent any accident from happening to Wang Junze.

After all, Wang Junze is a disciple of Zhou Dongfei, the Sect Leader. If there were truly an accident, he couldn't explain it.

Fortunately, he quickly discovered that Wang Junze was merely breaking through Refining Spirit and was not in any danger, which was a good thing rather than an accident.

Soon, Zhou Dongfei and Luo Bingyun arrived together.

Wang Junze had successfully completed his breakthrough and was just absorbing surrounding power to consolidate his cultivation, not yet awakened.

However, this result already made Zhou Dongfei and Luo Bingyun delighted beyond words.

"In just over three months, he broke through... And this Sword Intent... is the Water Sword Intent!"

With Zhou Dongfei's insight, he could easily determine that Wang Junze had comprehended the Water Sword Intent, which pleased him even more!

The Water Sword Intent, an Origin Sword Intent, with its infinite potential, is far more suitable for tempering the Divine Soul compared to the Profound Moon Sword Intent. If used well, his subsequent strength will also be stronger.

"Yes, ninety-seven days!" Luo Bingyun corrected, "The intensity of the Divine Soul is temporarily undetermined, but... being able to withstand so much Sword Qi, it shouldn't be weak."

"Master, Sect Leader!"

Luo Qingxuan had already come down to the two of them, her face also showing a trace of joy.

"What are you grinning about?" Luo Bingyun rebuked her with a stern face, "Wang Junze broke through so quickly, but what about you?"

"..."

This remark is somewhat unreasonable!

After all, Wang Junze only broke through Refining Spirit, while Luo Qingxuan was trying to break through Entering Void, and the difficulty of the two is simply not on the same level.

However, Luo Qingxuan naturally did not dare to talk back to her own master, and after being reprimanded, she could only awkwardly smile and lower her head, but the trace of joy in her eyes remained undiminished.

Being scolded by her master wasn't a first, but Wang Junze's breakthrough in Refining Spirit is definitely great news.

Just during this conversation, Wang Junze had also completely finished his breakthrough and woke up.

"Disciple greets Master, Elder Luo!"

Upon opening his eyes, Wang Junze saw the two of them and quickly stepped forward to pay respects.

"Not bad! Your aura is stable, and your Sword Intent is pure... This time, you've gained a lot; you can leave the Sword Pool." Zhou Dongfei nodded in satisfaction and commented with a smile.

"Wang Junze can leave the Sword Pool now, but... you have to stay and can't leave unless you break through!"

Seeing Luo Qingxuan looking indifferent, Luo Bingyun reprimanded her again.

"..."

This time, the smile on Luo Qingxuan's face completely disappeared.

She had entered the Sword Pool with Wang Junze, but now she was required to stay and cultivate on her own, which was truly annoying.

"I'll stay with Senior Sister!"

Seeing Luo Qingxuan's face darken, Wang Junze's mouth curved with a smile, and he spoke softly.

"Hmm?"

In an instant, the eyes of Zhou Dongfei and Luo Bingyun fell simultaneously on Wang Junze.

"Initially, it was Senior Sister Luo who accompanied me into the Sword Pool. Now, since Senior Sister Luo hasn't broken through, it wouldn't hurt to stay a few more days with her," Wang Junze explained. "Besides, I just broke through and need some time to consolidate my cultivation; it's better to cultivate here."

Cultivating in the Sword Pool is painful, but compared to the benefits it brings, this bit of pain is nothing.

"Think it over carefully. For Qingxuan to break through, it will take at least two to three months," Luo Bingyun glanced at Wang Junze and said lightly.

"No matter, it's very suitable for cultivation here. I am willing!" Wang Junze replied again.

"Suit yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bingyun did not urge him further and directly turned around and left the Sword Pool.

Zhou Dongfei, however, gave Wang Junze a hard stare, his gaze... seemingly unfriendly.

...

"This brat, could he actually have feelings for Qingxuan?"

Upon leaving the Sword Pool, Zhou Dongfei couldn't help but curse again aloud.

"Can't you see yet?" Luo Bingyun glanced at Zhou Dongfei and said coldly, "Even if there are feelings, it's Qingxuan who has feelings for him. This kid... most likely just can't give up the opportunity to cultivate in the Sword Pool."

"Can't give up the Sword Pool?"

Hearing this, Zhou Dongfei was slightly taken aback.

One must know, the higher the cultivation in the Sword Pool, the more intense the Sword Qi they face. Even if Wang Junze had made a breakthrough, the pain he endured would not lessen, and might even deepen!

That pain is like a blade cutting; it's not something ordinary people can endure.

Otherwise, the Profound Moon Sword Sect wouldn't use the Sword Pool as one of the ways to punish True Disciples.

"You still underestimate the determination for cultivation of someone like Wang Junze."

Shaking her head, Luo Bingyun answered indifferently, "Before joining our sect, he barely had any proper opportunities for cultivation. This bit of pain from the Sword Pool is nothing compared to the dangers faced in ruins where one's life is wagered."

"Compared to Wang Junze, our sect's disciples live far too comfortably!"

Leaving this remark, Luo Bingyun immediately drifted away.

Zhou Dongfei, on the other hand, couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly.

Luo Bingyun's words affected him greatly. As Sect Leader, he had more matters to consider, and the hidden meaning within could not be ignored.

On further reflection, Luo Bingyun's earlier words were probably closer to reality.

Over the years, the overall strength of the disciples in the Profound Moon Sword Sect has actually been declining. Is this also partly the reason?

The Deserters have been lying low for twenty years, leading to a lack of truly harsh battles in the Northern Domain in recent years. Especially for the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, they don't even need to fight for resources like those from lesser sects and families, naturally experiencing fewer battles.

Perhaps... it's time to add some pressure to the disciples, otherwise, these disciples will be unable to compare to cultivators like Wang Junze.

With this thought, Zhou Dongfei's eyes inevitably revealed a trace of coldness.
