Swoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air resounded as a member of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, their body bathed in azure Soul Power, traveled through the sky from afar and landed on the ground, splashing water in all directions and revealing their form.
"Wow, the vehicle Brother Lin is riding is really magnificent," Zhang Zide, having arrived at the rendezvous point, admired the carriage that had come to a stop on the ground.
Following that, Zhang Zide noticed something amiss, because Lin Qian and Ye Xin seated atop the carriage seemed to be cultivating. Considering the noise he had made upon arrival, they should have become aware of his presence. So why were they still immersed in cultivation?
Just as Zhang Zide’s curiosity peaked and he prepared to take a closer look, a figure suddenly blocked his path.
"His Majesty and Her Highness are in seclusion for a breakthrough. Please wait patiently," Zhao Long, facing Zhang Zide, planted the Tailong Spear into the ground and explained with a bow, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Brother Lin and his sister-in-law are in seclusion for a breakthrough?" Hearing Zhao Long’s explanation, Zhang Zide’s eyes widened as he looked towards the carriage.
These past days, with Lin Qian’s assistance, the strength of Zhang Zide and the others had advanced by leaps and bounds.
At the same time, as time passed, their gap in combat power with Lin Qian had closed, and by the time they were about to enter the Small World, they had even surpassed their past selves.
It had already been quite remarkable for one to defeat enemies far above one’s level based on innate talent and formidable combat strength.
However, when dueling with true geniuses, the differences in Realm became the greatest constraint.
Zhang Zide could only imagine how terrifyingly powerful Lin Qian, who was already formidable in the Sky Breaking Realm, would be once he successfully broke through to the Life and Death Realm. In this Small World, he might very well be able to traverse it unrivaled.
Not only that, his sister-in-law was the same. Although she was not as exceptional as Brother Lin, her combat strength was also extraordinarily high.
"The little couple is actually breaking through simultaneously. How interesting," Zhang Zide mused as he crossed three pairs of arms over his chest, the remaining pair stroking his chin.

The Life and Death Realm was different from the Sky Breaking Realm; the latter was about the accumulation of Soul Power, whereas the breakthrough to the Life and Death Realm was entirely dependent on one’s Heart Realm.
With the Heart Realm in the right state, breaking through to the Life and Death Realm naturally followed.
Originally, with Lin Qian’s help, their Cultivation Techniques were improved, and they made use of magical potions for assistance, enhancing their combat strength rapidly, bringing them unmatched joy.
It was due to this rapid increase in strength that they felt overjoyed and their Heart Realm flowed smoothly, leading them to naturally overcome their tribulations and successfully break through their Realm.
Not long after, Li Yunfeng arrived from the opposite direction of Zhang Zide. He too scrutinized the carriage, finding Lin Qian and Ye Xin’s state rather odd.

It wasn’t until Zhang Zide explained the situation that he understood.
About half an hour later, Zhang Qi and Zhang Wenxuan also reached the location, and soon understood the current situation as well.
Their attention then turned to Zhao Long, looking him up and down with curiosity.
Judging by the aura emanating from Zhao Long, they knew he was no ordinary individual. Given how he addressed Lin Qian and Ye Xin, he was likely one of Brother Lin’s men.
What sparked their curiosity was how exactly Lin Qian managed to bring Zhao Long into the Small World ruins.
```
One must know, the stability of the portal to the Small World is limited, and naturally, the number of people who can enter it is also limited.
The Sea Clan and Human Clan forces participating in this South Meeting are of varying strengths, hence the number of quotas allocated to each is also different. For a moderately strong Sea Clan force like the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, they and their human allies have eight slots to use, which they distribute among themselves.
As they were still marveling and wondering by what means Lin Qian had brought Zhao Long in, the divination carriage began to stir.
Purple-blue thunderbolts suddenly emerged on their skin, causing Ye Xin to frown slightly.
"The corporeal tribulation for advancing to the Body Realm of the Life and Death Realm has begun to appear," Li Yunfeng said, fixing his eyes on the two people on the divination carriage.
As Lin Qian and Ye Xin underwent their corporeal tribulation, refined by the thunderbolts, they seemed to bathe in an ocean of purple-blue lightning.
Aside from Lin Qian and Ye Xin, however, others, like the divination carriage or the flame-hoofed warhorses pulling the carriage, were unaffected by the thunder. This type of Body Tribulation Lightning only affected the individual undergoing the tribulation.
The ferocity of the Body Tribulation Lightning far surpassed Ye Xin’s expectations. She, who had thought she would endure it well, was trembling all over with pain.
At this moment, Ye Xin could distinctly feel Lin Qian gripping her hand a little more firmly, as if to bolster her spirits.
Feeling the strength from Lin Qian, the pain did not lessen, but Ye Xin felt much more at ease.
At the same time, Lin Qian opened his eyes with a relaxed expression, quietly feeling the tribulation lightning travel through his body, noting the improvements and effects it had on his physique.
The speed at which his body was growing stronger made Lin Qian cry out inwardly with satisfaction, a sensation he had never experienced before.
His physical strength was formidable and his cultivation speed fast, but it had always been a gradual process, nowhere near the rapid multiplication of strength he was experiencing now.
Once he successfully withstood this Body Tribulation Lightning, he would be able to advance to the Body Realm of the Life and Death Realm.
Lin Qian seemed to be at ease, but onlookers like Zhang Zide, Li Yunfeng, Zhang Qi, and Zhang Wenxuan were left speechless with amazement.
In the past, during their own corporeal tribulation, they closed their eyes tightly entering a cultivation state to alleviate the pain and divert their attention. Additionally, speeding up the flow of Soul Power could provide some protection to their bodies.
Ye Xin was doing just that, but Lin Qian seemed utterly unaffected by the Body Tribulation Lightning on him.
"Even with Thunder Attribute Soul Power, it shouldn’t be this easy, right?" Zhang Wenxuan exclaimed in shock when she saw Lin Qian actually smiling at them.
At this time, Zhang Zide could only shake his head with a wry smile, "Thinking about it, we probably all forgot that Brother Lin’s physique is extraordinarily strong, right? At the clan meeting, he seemed to have defeated an opponent at the Sky Crossing Stage of the Sky Breaking Realm with a single punch."
"Indeed, the very reason Grandmaster and your grandfather took us to find Brother Lin initially was for him to help us improve our physical strength," Li Yunfeng also said with a sigh, looking enviously at Lin Qian, wishing he had a physique as powerful as his.
Truly, with Lin Qian’s exceedingly strong physical body within his Realm, resisting this Body Tribulation Lightning was a piece of cake; the greatest pain felt like a mere itch, bringing the major benefit of enhancing his physical strength.
Just as Lin Qian was reveling in the benefits of the Body Tribulation Lightning, a shocking and unbelievable piece of news from the Heavenly Art Department of the Huaxia Empire jolted his mind.
Because of the bizarre degree of this matter, it was beyond his imagination.
