Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

"Looks like everyone have a good harvest, I'm glad that our Sky Compression Valley helps you with your cultivation" currently disguising herself as a man once again, the scholarly beauty said as she smiles towards the group, feeling quite glad that she managed to break through another level yet again, raising her mood quite a bit.

"Well, thank you for this as well, Sister Xuanyuan, I owe you a big one for this" hearing the words of this scholarly beauty now dressing herself and pretending to be a man, the immortal-like young man said with a nod, the lady's smile getting even brighter the moment that she heard those words.

"Then how about instead with Zi Yu'er, let's have a sparring instead?" looking at him with an immense fighting spirit burning beneath her clear, wise eyes, this scholarly beauty said with an expression of anticipation in her eyes, knowing full well that the immortal-like young man will accept her request.

"Let's talk about that later…" the immortal-like young man, Su Xiaotian answered, making her feel all the better, not to mention having a breakthrough while going through this trial, she also managed to have a chance to spar with this martial brother of hers once again.

'I should make the most out of it, that last spar is extremely beneficial to me…' she thought to herself as she nods at him in acknowledgement, the two of them now paying attention to the remaining ones of their group who also starts exuding an immense aura from out of their bodies, clearly intending to breakthrough now as well.

Looking at the three other young men in the group, all of them being the immortal-like young man's sworn brothers, and the remaining two ladies, each being childhood sweetheart of two of the three young men here, leaving the amiable-looking young man feeling all alone.

While this would usually be the talk between them, sworn brothers, it wasn't really the focus of the attention now as the five of them are sitting cross legged on the ground as they feel the nature around them, drawing in massive amounts of ambient spirit qi in order to progress their cultivation, taking in much more amount than usual given that they are currently breaking through the next level.

Of course, seeing as his friends already starts breaking through as well, the immortal-like young man spreads his attention once again as he allows his soul power to inspect the most minute of details in their surroundings, making sure that no danger will befall them while they are breaking through.

In fact, there's no need for him to be this cautious as the closest people who can do enough damage to halt their breakthrough and cause problems to their cultivation is still in a pretty far away place than them, said person not even reaching a quarter of the way yet while their group is already past the halfway of the entire valley, currently charging through the third quarter of the path.

Watching this batch break through, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but look forward to their improvements, especially his sworn brothers, wondering if he could spar with them once again after this trial starts.

Should these three young men, especially the fierce-looking young man and the cunning-looking young man were to hear of these thoughts from the immortal-like young man, they will definitely find ways to get out of such situation, possibly even pushing their other sworn brother, the amiable-looking Ling Feng, to fight with Su Xiaotian just so that they can save themselves.

While that may be the case if they were to hear such thoughts though, there's just no way they are capable of reading minds normally, much less right now when they are in a state where they need to focus with all they got to achieve breakthrough.

After a while of waiting for them, the five managed to finish their cultivation at the same time, all of them beginning to feel the newly improve strength surging through their entire bodies, marveling at it for a while before they snap out of it and decided to go with the rest of the group to discuss what they are going to do next.

----------

"Looks like we can only do this now" one of the young men said as he agrees with what his childhood sweetheart said that the effects of the Sky Compression Valley diminish to near zero the moment that they broke through.

"Uhuh… Ah Chen is right, there's just no purpose to this place without the suppression anyways" another young man agrees with the previously speaking one's sentiment, his words acquiring all the other people in this group's agreements, giving him a nod.

"Then let's head out of this place…" another young man, who appears to be the leader of this group, this one with a unique, immortal-like air around him as if he's beyond everyone else's reach said with a smile on his face, him standing up from the spot prompting the others to follow his lead, all of them already have their internal qi surging and only hindered by the suppressive property of the Sky Compression Valley slightly, meaning that they can all go even faster than the speed they are going with before.

Despite them being able to move faster than before though, they are still not able to fly, something that all of them can do normally, as the internal qi in their meridians are still being suppressed just enough so that they are not able to manifest it within their bodies, with the sole exception to that being the immortal-like young man who can still pretty much do anything if he wants, only restricting himself as he don't want to pull too much attention from the suspiciously large number of Half-step Celestial Realm experts from the audience.

'They're outsiders after all, it would be bad if they discover even more than they already does' he thought to himself as he starts walking towards the exit of the Sky Compression Valley, beside him his sworn brothers who is starting to get rambunctious once again, and trailing just right beside them are the ladies talking with each other, their giggles a heavenly melody to anyone's ears.

Standing right at the end of the path, an elder wearing the pure white uniform of the Dao Seeking Mountain stand guard with a straight posture as if a spear pointing towards the skies, his expression changing from all sorts of positive one as he saw figures coming out of the valley, his expression getting even brighter the moment that he recognizes one of them.

After a few more minutes of waiting for this group to come out, this elder couldn't help but feel surprise as all of them are familiar faces, people who are among the fastest ones to finish the trial before this one, and in this current group, there's also the fastest person to finish the first trial in the history of the Dao Seeking Mountains.

"Greetings, Elder Xing" snapping him out of his reverie, a familiar voice among this group greeted him with respect in their voice, prompting this elder to look at the figure wearing the same uniform as him.
