I gain ten years' worth of cultivation every day, and even geniuses will only see my doorstep!

On the jade platform, the other geniuses also reacted in their own ways. Liao Chen clasped his hands together and murmured a Buddhist chant, seemingly praying for Qin Yuan, or perhaps sighing in relief.

Fairy Miaoyin's beautiful eyes sparkled with more curiosity than worry. Chen Xingzi and the others mostly withdrew their gazes, focusing on adjusting their own auras in preparation for their upcoming manifestation, not wanting to be too distracted by other matters.

However, just when most people believed Qin Yuan was about to fail, and You Wuying's smile grew wider and wider—

"boom!"

At the center of that vortex of spiritual energy, an aura far more powerful, more solid, and more terrifying than before erupted like a sleeping dragon awakening!

The barrier of the early stage of Nascent Soul has shattered.

His breath naturally entered a completely new level, stable, powerful, and incredibly solid, without any of the superficiality that comes with a breakthrough!

The spiritual energy vortex on the jade platform not only did not dissipate, but because of the breakthrough in cultivation, the absorption speed was even faster, and the scale subtly expanded again!

silence.

A deathly silence quickly replaced the previous clamor.

In the audience, countless faces—those of smug mockery, worried sorrow, and indifferent apathy—froze, then were replaced by unbelievable astonishment.

"It...it succeeded?!"

"That's it... done?!"

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm! He really broke through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm in such a short time and under such circumstances?!"

"monster!"

After a brief silence, a deafening roar of exclamations and uproar erupted! Many cultivators stood up abruptly, their eyes wide as they stared at the jade platform. This scene, defying common sense, shocked everyone's understanding.

In the Xuan Yuan Sect area, Chu Wuyue let out a long breath, her tense body relaxing, but her fighting spirit burned even brighter. Yun Qingyao's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile. Zhou Ming and the others almost jumped up to cheer, but Han Bing stopped them with a look, though their faces were filled with excitement and pride.

The mockery and smugness on You Wuying's face froze completely, then crumbled like shattered porcelain, leaving only a dark, ashen background and the fiercely flickering ghostly fire deep within his pupils. He succeeded? How could that be! What gave him the right?! That environment, that interference… an indescribable sense of suffocation and the stinging pain of being slapped in the face gripped his heart.

Liu Mubai's wine glass froze, his eyes gleaming. His previous surprise and doubt transformed into deep astonishment and scrutiny. "He actually... succeeded? And his aura is so stable... He was prepared!" He instantly overturned his previous judgment. Qin Yuan was not acting impulsively, but rather with complete confidence! This control, this audacity...

For the first time, Li Han's indifferent expression showed a noticeable shift. He turned his head again, his gaze shooting towards Qin Yuan like cold lightning. That look was no longer one of disdain, but rather one of scrutiny and surprise. To be able to break through successfully under these circumstances, regardless of the method used, at least proved that Qin Yuan's willpower and preparation far exceeded Li Han's initial assessment.

Just when everyone thought that Qin Yuan had broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and his aura was about to stabilize, and that this astonishing episode was about to come to an end—

Mutation and regeneration!

The powerful aura around Qin Yuan, which had been gradually stabilizing, showed no signs of stopping after reaching the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It was as if a torrent of boundless power had breached the first dam and was now on a smooth road ahead, continuing to climb upwards with even greater ferocity and unstoppable momentum!

"What?!"

"His momentum... is still rising?!"

"He's at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm... Could it be that he intends to...?"

"Successive breakthroughs?! From the early stage of Nascent Soul to the late stage? Are you kidding me?!"

The audience, which had just begun to calm down, erupted again, this time with even greater force, filled with a sense of absurdity and utter disbelief. The Nascent Soul stage! Not like the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, where advancement could be achieved quickly through resource accumulation! Each breakthrough required a deeper understanding of the Great Dao, a more refined accumulation of spiritual energy, and a more resilient transformation of the soul. Consecutive breakthroughs? Ancient texts might record instances of once-in-a-millennium geniuses achieving this at lower levels, but at the Nascent Soul stage? Unheard of!

A sickly flush instantly rose on You Wuying's ashen face, a mixture of extreme shock, absurdity, and a hint of panic that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

"He's gone mad! He's absolutely mad! He's gone mad! Breaking through the Nascent Soul stage consecutively? Absolutely impossible! Just wait, the next moment his meridians will be burst by the violent spiritual power, and his nascent soul will shatter!" He roared almost like a curse, as if only in this way could he suppress the increasingly intense unease in his heart.

Liu Mubai could no longer maintain his elegant posture. He leaned forward slightly, his pupils contracted to pinpoints, and he locked onto Qin Yuan.

Continuous breakthroughs? Is that even possible? Even with extraordinary encounters and the accumulation of massive spiritual power, what about the understanding of the Great Dao? What about the tempering of the soul? This completely defies the common sense of cultivation!

Li Han's gaze turned completely serious, the previous surprise transforming into deep astonishment and vigilance. He no longer believed Qin Yuan was emotionally unstable; instead, he felt that this person's actions were entirely illogical and unpredictable.

The hearts of the Xuan Yuan Sect members, which had just settled, instantly leaped into their throats again. Chu Wuyue's face was tense, and Yun Qingyao bit her lower lip lightly. They understood the risks of continuous breakthroughs better than outsiders.

However, under the gaze of countless eyes, some shocked, some doubtful, some cursing, and some worried, Qin Yuan's aura, in a domineering and unreasonable manner, broke through the more resilient and thick invisible barrier between the mid-stage and late-stage Nascent Soul realm!

"Crack—Boom!"

This time, even the faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard emanating from Qin Yuan's body! The spiritual energy within a hundred-foot radius around him was completely drained, forming a brief vacuum zone. Immediately, spiritual energy from further away surged in like a tsunami, causing the entire jade platform to tremble slightly. Beneath the crystal-clear surface, clouds swirled wildly, radiating brilliant light!

Late stage of Nascent Soul!

A majestic, vast, and profound aura was firmly fixed at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm! Moreover, the degree of condensation and weight of that aura was even more astonishing than that of many veteran late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!

"It worked...it worked again?!"

"Late-stage Nascent Soul stage!! My god!"

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

"Breaking through two realms in a row! Breaking through two realms in the Nascent Soul stage! After eight hundred years of cultivation, I finally understand what it means to be a frog in a well!"

The audience went absolutely wild, many shouting and yelling uncontrollably, as if nothing could express their awe. This was beyond the realm of "genius"; it was practically a myth reborn!

Above the clouds, those vast figures that had been hidden behind the glow of the sunset, looking down indifferently, were now all trembling!
