Wanting to break through to the Zhiyi Boundary is a lifelong goal for many people. Some people are stuck in the Mingmu Realm their entire lives and cannot break through.

Between the Mingmu Realm and the Zhiyi Boundary is a chasm. This side of the chasm houses experts, while the other side are ordinary cultivators. That's the difference.

Reaching the Zhiyi Boundary is a lifelong pursuit for an individual, as for the Dawen Realm, it is simply unimaginable. Breaking through is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

How could Hoshino Meigetsu have imagined that Ling Zhenfei would suddenly break through in front of him, and so quickly?

"Mingyue, I have to thank you for this. You have been a great help to me. Your true maiden body has given me substantial assistance. Without you, I wouldn't have known if I could succeed in my breakthrough."

Ling Zhenfei was not saying this as a courtesy. He was truthful, knowing that breaking through to the Dawen Realm is extremely difficult. Although Ling Zhenfei previously felt his spiritual energy was ready for a breakthrough, he hesitated due to the fear of failure.

But just moments ago, Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy could no longer be restrained. A burst of spiritual light shot directly to the heavens, hence his sudden enlightenment, leading to such a successful breakthrough.

"Congratulations, I never thought I'd witness someone break through with my own eyes." Hoshino Meigetsu was very pleased to hear that Ling Zhenfei had reached the Dawen Realm.

Ling Zhenfei walked over, embraced Hoshino Meigetsu, and said, "You are my woman now, and I will not let you be harmed."

Hoshino Meigetsu was stunned, suddenly aware that she was no longer a girl but a woman, having lost what a Celestial Maiden should maintain most.

"So what should I do?" Hoshino Meigetsu asked Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "I've probably attracted surrounding cultivators with my breakthrough. You should leave immediately as if nothing happened, and continue being a Celestial Maiden; no one will find out anyway."

"What about you?" Hoshino Meigetsu asked.

Ling Zhenfei replied, "I will just wait until tomorrow to fall into Watanabe Kazushi's hands."

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "You've also reached the Dawen Realm, so why let Watanabe Kazushi manipulate you?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm doing this to avoid implicating you, and to cleanly sever ties with your Ittō-ryū. Then, I will find a way to escape from Watanabe Kazushi's grasp, ensuring a smooth getaway."

Hoshino Meigetsu asked, feeling disheartened, "So I'll have to leave by then?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's right, by then we can return to my country, and I'll have you come with me."

Hoshino Meigetsu hesitated, "We'll see by then, I'm still a little flustered now."

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei sensed something; his Divine Sense had expanded greatly after reaching the Dawen Realm; he instantly felt the movement of spiritual energy in the distance.

"Someone is coming; you should leave first and return as if nothing happened."

"Hmm, you take care."

After speaking, Hoshino Meigetsu left, though walking a little unnaturally, it was clear she was extremely frantic.

Of course, Hoshino Meigetsu was frantic, having done such a thing; it must be hard for her to accept, she probably needed some time to calm down.

After Hoshino Meigetsu left, Ling Zhenfei continued his cultivation. Now, he has the strength of the first layer of the Dawen Realm. Due to his rapid ascension, he needs to consolidate his cultivation.

After achieving the Dawen Realm, his Divine Sense became exceptionally strong. He clearly sensed several experts moving toward him.

Soon, people arrived around him. Ling Zhenfei sensed they all had the Late Stage of the Zhiyi Realm's power. Not knowing who Ling Zhenfei was, they stayed cautious and did not approach easily.

The arriving individuals must be experts too, having locked onto Ling Zhenfei's position, knowing the recent Golden Light emanated from here.

One of them is from Ittō-ryū, and coming here for a routine inspection is normal. With such happenings at home, they would naturally come and see.

The other two were from outside, cultivators nearby, coincidentally witnessing Ling Zhenfei's Golden Light during his breakthrough, hence joining out of curiosity.

"Which Daoist friend is breaking through here? Could you reveal yourself so we can congratulate you?"

One of them contacted the surrounding cultivators using Divine Sense, knowing their voices could reach them.

But Ling Zhenfei did not want to pay attention to them; if he went out to confront them, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Outside, the two discussed among themselves, "Daoist Brother, why do you think the Golden Light appeared?"

"I think it must be someone Ascending to Darwin, causing the Golden Light. I've read that whenever someone breaks through to the Dawen Realm, there's a Golden Light shooting into the sky, so I conclude that a Daoist friend reached the Dawen Realm."

"I believe the same. Who would've thought the Hoshino Family of Ittō-ryū had such a powerful person? After over twenty years, someone finally reached the Dawen Realm?"

"Daoist Brother, aren't you from Ittō-ryū? Someone from your Ittō-ryū broke through to the Dawen Realm. Why don't you seem happy?"

"Dear two, this is Ittō-ryū territory. Shouldn't the two of you leave since you're uninvited?"

"We can't do that. We've yet to see this master; how could we just leave? Why don't you ask the senior to come out and chat?"

"This is an Ittō-ryū matter. The senior does not wish to come out, so you should leave."

"Daoist Friend, speaking like this is not right. Your Iga-ryu and Ittō-ryū are tense; our arrival is a boon. If the Dawen Realm senior is willing to guide us, we might help you."

"Indeed, Watanabe Kazushi is now eyeing you like a hawk. Don't offend us further; we just want to meet this senior. If the senior says he doesn't want to meet us, we'll leave immediately."

Just as the person finished speaking, they suddenly felt a message in their mind: "Leave at once!"

Both were shocked.

"The master of the Dawen Realm is indeed formidable, farewell!"

"Sorry for the disturbance, senior. Please continue your cultivation, goodbye!"

And with that, the two hurried away. Ling Zhenfei's words alone frightened them; they had never seen someone with such power, able to project words directly into their minds, an incredible feat.

Only the Ittō-ryū expert remained, whose realm was also at the Great Perfection of the Late Stage of Zhiyi, hence he could sense the Golden Light from Ling Zhenfei.

In truth, he was very surprised, not expecting anyone in Ittō-ryū to have the strength to advance.

In Ittō-ryū, no one had broken through for over twenty years. At such a critical moment, someone breaking through to the Dawen Realm perhaps spelled salvation for Ittō-ryū.

But just after scaring away the two people, that person seemed to vanish, without making a single sound anymore.

That person quietly approached the prison, feeling the Golden Light had emanated from inside.
