My late-life emperor was handed over to the state by a school beauty.

Chapter 45 Rapid Advancement, Terrifying Claws!

Li Xinghe was not surprised at all that his younger sister and Jiang Baixue were cultivating very quickly.

One is a chaotic body, and the other is an innate Dao embryo. They also have enough cultivation resources. How could their cultivation speed be slow?

What pleased him even more was that his sister and Jiang Baixue looked noticeably different from before.

Although his younger sister and Jiang Baixue had begun cultivating, in his eyes they were not true cultivators at all.

This is actually easy to understand. It's like two complete novices who are completely inexperienced in the ways of the world. Even if they have high levels of cultivation, they still have significant flaws.

The younger sister and Jiang Baixue have undergone obvious changes, possessing an aura that can only be acquired after experiencing battles and trials.

It is not hard to see from this that during this period, the younger sister and Jiang Baixue entered the training grounds quite often and fought against monsters.

Then, his gaze fell upon the sixteen imperial formations. During this period, dimensional rifts had opened quite a few times.

Of the sixteen dimensional rifts in the Dragon Kingdom, some opened three times and others opened once.

For this reason, all four training grounds have been opened, and are large enough to accommodate Dragon Kingdom cultivators to enter and train.

It is evident that everyone worked hard during this period, and the strength of the Dragon Kingdom cultivators has improved considerably.

This is undoubtedly a great start. Once a positive cycle is established, becoming powerful is only a matter of time.

At that time, there will be no need for the Imperial Array to suppress the dimensional rift; instead, we can directly enter the world behind the dimensional rift.

Then, his gaze fell upon the other twelve dimensional rifts, and drops of essence blood fell into his eyes.

There are a total of sixteen drops of essence blood in the twelve dimensional rifts, which means that sixteen monsters have been killed.

He stretched out his large hand, passing through the image in the void, and sixteen drops of essence blood immediately flew out from the Emperor's Formation and landed in his hand.

"That's about enough!" Li Xinghe thought to himself.

These sixteen drops of essence blood contain substances that promote longevity and can extend his lifespan, but this is not the key factor for him.

What he sought was never immortality, but rather to go a step further than what he already had!

If we can't keep making progress, what's the point of living for another 100,000 or 1 million years?

Therefore, this will be a challenge for him, fraught with danger, a matter of life and death, but he has no regrets about it.

He raised his hand and summoned sixteen drops of essence blood, which merged into one drop of essence blood. He gradually refined it, and the longevity substance was absorbed into his body.

The five secret realms within his body suddenly surged with vigorous vitality, his primordial spirit began to glow, and his entire being slowly began to transform.

Unbeknownst to him, he had entered a mysterious state, like a seed buried underground, waiting to take root and sprout.

Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom, Li Wei emerged from the training grounds, her face full of excitement.

A month ago, she had already entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and now she has made another breakthrough.

The Dao Palace Secret Realm is completely different from the Wheel Sea Secret Realm. This human body secret realm requires the cultivation of the five internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Just now, in the training grounds, while battling monsters, she successfully perfected her cultivation of the Divine Treasury of the Heart.

She could feel that she was much stronger than before; collapsing mountains and blocking rivers were now easy things for her.

"You've finally come out. The training is getting harder and harder!" Jiang Baixue said with a displeased expression.

When she first entered the training grounds, she overcame her fear and successfully killed the monster.

But her excitement didn't last long. When she returned to the training grounds, the monsters had become even stronger.

It wasn't until then that she realized the training grounds could be upgraded!

Each time a monster is slain, it will become even stronger the next time you enter the training grounds.

Unless she can break through!

For example, when she breaks through from the Divine Bridge Realm to the Other Shore Realm, everything will be reset to zero, and the monsters she encounters at the beginning will be of equal cultivation level to hers.

However, breakthroughs in cultivation are not something that can be achieved overnight!

As she continued to slay monsters, their strength grew, ultimately leading to her defeat.

"You're about to break through too!" Li Wei said with a smile.

It wasn't just Jiang Baixue; she experienced the same fate. When the monster grew to a certain level of power, she also suffered defeat.

She is not afraid to fight against opponents of the same realm, and she can also handle opponents of a slightly higher realm. What is rare is facing monsters that are several realms higher than herself.

Fighting against someone of a higher level is indeed a very difficult thing!

"You're right, I'm about to break through, but the others are still far behind!" Jiang Baixue said with a smile.

A few months is not a short time, but it's not a long time either, especially during spiritual practice, a few months is really nothing.

Although her cultivation speed is a little slower than Li Wei's, she has now also entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm and begun cultivating her first Divine Treasure.

Apart from her and Li Wei, although the others have worked hard to cultivate, the highest level of cultivation they have reached is only the Life Spring Realm.

The gap between them was widening, and she could clearly feel that the cultivation speed of others was far slower than that of her and Li Wei.

"It's all because of Emperor Xinghe!" Jiang Baixue thought to herself.

She knew very well that if she hadn't unexpectedly met the Star River Emperor, she would have died long ago and would never have had this opportunity.

Moreover, if it weren't for the Star River Emperor's help and the provision of numerous cultivation resources, her cultivation speed would never have been so fast.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Star River Emperor made her who she is today, so she has always been grateful and has become more and more devout to the Star River Emperor.

However, she hadn't seen the Star River Emperor for a while, and a feeling of longing inexplicably welled up in her heart.

She wasn't actually greedy; she would be content with just a glimpse of the Star River Emperor from afar.

"My brother hasn't shown up for a long time!" Li Wei thought to herself.

The time frame wasn't actually that long; at most, it was only a few months, which is nothing.

But having finally seen her brother again, she naturally hoped to spend every day with him if possible.

Unfortunately, her brother couldn't stay on Earth for long, so she could only see him every now and then, and each time was very short.

But since she personally set up the Emperor Array, her brother has never appeared again, which makes her feel somewhat worried.

After all, her brother was in another world, and she had no idea what kind of things he would encounter.

She couldn't help but wonder if her brother had encountered some difficulties or danger, which was why he hadn't appeared yet.

"Boom!"

Just then, a huge roar suddenly rang out, and everyone immediately looked towards the training ground.

Golden patterns lit up, forming the imperial array that enveloped the dimensional rift. It was now rippling like water. The next moment, a gigantic claw emerged from the dimensional rift. This claw was so large that it blotted out the sky.

Moreover, the moment this enormous claw appeared, a terrifying aura immediately spread, giving people a chilling feeling.

Suddenly, a terrifying sword light shot into the sky from the imperial formation, slashing straight down, instantly causing a rain of blood to fly everywhere.
