Urban God-level Youth

Many people also felt it, shocked in their hearts: Such strong Heaven and Earth rules, truly worthy of being one of the top secret realms, the world Daos contained here are indeed too many.

Zhou Danqing said to everyone: "Everyone just fly deeper into the secret realm, the closer you get to the depths, the greater the help to your cultivation. As for how far you can go, it depends on your strength and abilities."

Then everyone began to fly deeper into the secret realm, and the suppression of the world Daos became more apparent the further in one went.

After flying several dozen li, everyone's speed slowed down, because the suppression from the world Daos here was already very noticeable.

At this time, they could only fly at low altitude, and their speed could not pick up.

They flew a bit further, and most of them were unable to fly anymore; they descended to the ground, walking forward on foot, looking for a suitable place to cultivate.

Zhou Danqing, Qin Hao, and Ling'er were still flying, and soon there were only the three of them left in the air; the others were heavily suppressed and could only walk a distance on foot, looking for a suitable place to comprehend and cultivate.

Zhou Danqing was a bit surprised upon seeing Xue Lingling beside Qin Hao: "Is she the disciple you mentioned?"

Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Danqing, you should call her junior sister, Ling'er, this is your senior sister!"

Xue Lingling: "Greetings, senior sister."

Zhou Danqing nodded slightly, a bit puzzled, and said: "With such strong abilities, why did you not join the Heaven and Earth Academy?"

Qin Hao explained: "At that time, when Ling'er was enrolling in the academy, her strength was not too strong, so she did not participate in the selection. But now, she can be considered a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect, so it makes no difference whether she joins the academy or not."

The three of them flew a bit further, and both Qin Hao and Zhou Danqing felt considerable pressure, their speed decreasing steadily.

Ling'er spoke at this time: "Master, I can't hold on any longer, I will go down first to find a place to cultivate."

Qin Hao nodded: "Alright, be careful!"

Ling'er descended and went off to find a suitable place nearby. Qin Hao and Zhou Danqing continued to fly deeper, and after they had flown a few hundred li, sweat appeared on Zhou Danqing's forehead.

She glanced at Qin Hao; he was in a similar situation to hers, both of them pushing on, knowing that the deeper they went, the greater the rewards, so they had to fight with all their strength.

Qin Hao spoke: "Let's go down and walk; the pressure from flying is too great!"

Zhou Danqing nodded, and the two descended from the air, then proceeded on foot towards the interior, now reaching the depths of the secret realm.

Walking between the mountains, their speed was no slower than flying through the air.

After walking a few dozen li, both Zhou Danqing and Qin Hao were hard-pressed to continue. Qin Hao was able to walk with Zhou Danqing solely because of his strong physical strength, whereas Zhou Danqing's realm was slightly higher than Qin Hao's.

Qin Hao looked around at the surrounding peaks: "I plan to cultivate and comprehend the Dao here."

Zhou Danqing: "I also intend to find a place near here."

Qin Hao carved out a cave dwelling on the mountainside, and Zhou Danqing also carved out a cave dwelling on a nearby peak.

Both entered their respective caves, set up array formation restrictions, and began cultivating to comprehend the myriad Daos within the void.

Qin Hao took out the Thunder Stone and then consumed an Enlightenment Fruit; the fruit melted in his mouth, filling him with fragrance, and a profound sense surged to his mind.

The Thunder Stone shone brightly, flying into his glabella, revealing the world inside the Thunder Stone in his mind.

Qin Hao was bathed in thunderlight, appearing sacred and majestic, his aura overwhelmingly terrifying, like the reincarnation of a Thunder God.

...

As days passed, the thunder power comprehended by Qin Hao kept breaking through with the help of the Enlightenment Fruit.

Now, on the mountain peak where he was secluded, thunder roared, seven-colored thunder pillars occasionally striking down from the sky, making the mountain seem like a thunder purgatory.

With each passing day, the thunder power here grew significantly, extremely terrifying.

In other parts of the secret realm, there were also many terrifying phenomena, with many top-tier geniuses possessing outstanding talents and high comprehension.

Like the mountain where Zhou Danqing was, everything lived vigorously, flowers contending, grass and trees exuberant, very thriving, attracting many spirit beasts and birds to dwell there, forming a stark contrast to Qin Hao's side.

The heavenly Daos comprehended by Zhou Danqing were completely different from Qin Hao's. She comprehended the Dao of Life, which is one of the relatively powerful Heaven and Earth rules among the myriad Daos, comprehending life and death from various forms. In the future, she feared she might comprehend the terrifying Dao of Life and Death, determining an enemy's life and death with a single thought.

With the help of the Enlightenment Elixir, Zhou Danqing had significant gains, and her realm increased accordingly.

Qin Hao's realm also kept breaking through; this was an opportunity. The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm is one of the top secret realms on the continent, and during the comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Laws, it simultaneously draws the surrounding spiritual energy into the body to increase one's realm.

While three months seem long, for top-tier geniuses like Qin Hao, it's too short; they wish to stay here for three years, or thirty years.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and the students of the Heaven and Earth Academy were all transmitted out. But Qin Hao, Zhou Danqing, Xue Lingling, and a few instructors weren't transmitted out because they were disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect, enjoying special privileges.

After Ye Lingyi and others came out, they returned to the Hidden Dragon Hall to continue cultivating, as their realizations hadn't been fully digested yet.

The students and instructors who came out all returned to their residences to continue cultivating their understandings.

About three more months later, Zhou Danqing walked out of her cave dwelling; her comprehension had reached its limit here, and the Heaven's Dao rules were now very weak, so staying here wouldn't be of much use.

Walking out of the cave, she saw the scene of the mountain next to her, shrouded in terrifying thunder. Even though Zhou Danqing was standing at a distance, she could feel the aura of terror.

He actually comprehended the Dao of Thunder, which is one of the most terrifying offensive divine skills.

Soon after, Zhou Danqing saw Qin Hao's figure appear on the mountain peak, immersed in thunder, like a Thunder God descending to the world. Opening his mouth, he absorbed thousands of rays of thunder, refining them into boundless primal energy to replenish himself.

An aura of terror was also emanating from Qin Hao, and he took this opportunity to break directly through to the late-stage Extreme Realm.

As the thunder power dissipated, Qin Hao opened his eyes, thunder flashing within but soon regaining calm.

Qin Hao saw Zhou Danqing, who by now had successfully broken through to the early stage of the Transcendent Realm.

Zhou Danqing promptly arrived at the mountain where Qin Hao was: "Let's go; we've been here for more than six months."

Qin Hao was momentarily stupefied: "Weren't we to be transmitted out after three months?"

Zhou Danqing explained: "That's for the ordinary students; as disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect, we can stay a long time, but now the Heaven's Dao rules are already very weak. Staying here any longer won't be of much use."
