Breaking Through

Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged in his chamber, his eyes closed as he focused on his cultivation. The battle with Zhao Chen had shown him that he needed to increase his strength if he wanted to protect those he cared about.

With a deep breath, he began to channel the energies of the world around him, his aura growing stronger with each passing moment. As he meditated, images of the various realms of cultivation flashed through his mind, each one more powerful than the last.

He knew that he had a long way to go, but he was determined to reach the peak of cultivation. He had already reached the seventh stage of the Divine Realm, but he knew that there were still higher realms to reach.

As he continued to cultivate, he suddenly felt a surge of energy coursing through his body. It was as if his meridians were expanding, allowing him to channel more energy than ever before.

Excitement surged through him as he realized that he was about to break through to the eighth stage of the Divine Realm. With a burst of energy, he pushed himself to the limit, breaking through the barrier that had been holding him back.

As he opened his eyes, he felt a new power coursing through his veins. He smiled, knowing that he was now stronger than ever before. He was ready to face any challenge that lay ahead.
