Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed, and now there was only one day left until the gathering time.

According to the plan, Wang Xiaoqiang must utilize this day to break through the major bottleneck of the Immortal Emperor Ninth Qi Realm and reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

After a night's sleep, Wang Xiaoqiang regained full energy. He took out water and dry food from the Sumeru Ring to sate his hunger, and after filling his belly, he sat cross-legged in the cave and began cultivating again.

The speed of Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation had to be conducted in secrecy; it couldn't be known to others, at least not to those unfamiliar, otherwise, it would certainly cause immense shock.

Because Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation speed was so fast, a realm that would take others years of arduous practice to achieve, he could reach in mere days, even hours.

This speed was somewhat defying the heavens, and a bit abnormal. If discovered and spread, it would not bode well.

However, the higher the path of cultivation, the harder it became. Although Wang Xiaoqiang had the Five Elements Spirit Spring, a transformative divine artifact, and an ample supply of Qi Gathering Pills, he clearly felt that after the Immortal Emperor Fifth Qi Realm, his cultivation speed was much slower than before, especially with the major bottleneck at the Immortal Emperor Ninth Qi Realm, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out all the Qi Gathering Pills from the Sumeru Ring and placed them on the ground. Five thousand Qi Gathering Pills piled up into a large heap, the gleaming white pills looked like silkworm cocoons, very pleasing to the eye.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang released 10 billion spirit springs to absorb. The 10 billion spirit springs were divided into 100 groups, with each group consisting of 100 million spirit springs. Then, ten groups of spirit springs took turns attaching to the Qi Gathering Pills to absorb and refine.

When the ten groups of spirit springs had taken a turn, all 10 billion spirit springs were full, constantly expanding and contracting, then shook all at once, emitting a fine cracking sound,

Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop…

The 10 billion springs split into two, becoming 20 billion spirit springs. With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang absorbed all 20 billion spirit springs into his body.

At this moment, the Five Elements Spirit Spring within Wang Xiaoqiang's body reached 30,001,096,00 spirit springs, which all shook together inside, then released an immense amount of immortal qi. This immortal qi was extremely fierce, like a condensed twelfth-level typhoon. This immortal qi surged violently within, sharp like gang wind, constantly swirling and condensing into mist.

When the 5,000 Qi Gathering Pills were nearly used up, the mist within reached an extreme density, and with a sudden boom, it spread outward...

Boom... one... boom... two... boom... three... boom... four... boom... five... boom... six... boom... seven... boom... eight... boom... nine... boom... ten...

At this time, Wang Xiaoqiang's body was like a huge container. With each boom, a mist spread from within.

In total, there were ten booms, releasing ten strands of mist from within.

The released mist continuously fused, compressed, condensed... gradually transforming into liquid...

Immortal qi transforms into liquid, becoming Immortal Liquid!

Wang Xiaoqiang finally stepped into the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

With joy in his heart, and with a thought, the Immortal Liquid condensed from immortal qi was rapidly reabsorbed, entirely drawn into his body, ultimately entering the Five Elements Spirit Spring, and then through the Five Elements Spirit Spring, absorbed into the depth of the Dantian, directly bypassing the Immortal Vein.

Wang Xiaoqiang was someone who couldn't open an Immortal Vein. If he didn't have the Five Elements Spirit Spring, even if he condensed immortal qi into Immortal Liquid, he still couldn't channel the Immortal Liquid into his Dantian because the Immortal Liquid has to circulate through the Immortal Vein to reach the Dantian's depths, and it also has to circulate through the Immortal Vein to release from the body and empower cultivation techniques.

Similarly, for an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal, this is when they must channel the Immortal Liquid into the Dantian through the Immortal Vein, which makes the process much slower, whereas Wang Xiaoqiang's speed of channeling and releasing Immortal Liquid is several times faster than that of an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal.

When the Immortal Liquid entered the Dantian, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a cool sensation overflow from his Dantian, flowing throughout his entire body, feeling a comfort and pleasure never experienced before, and this sensation wasn't fleeting, but constantly present.

No wonder so many cultivators would die to become Great Luo Golden Immortals because after becoming one, not only does their Qi Refining strength multiply tenfold, but the Immortal Liquid washes and nourishes the body, leaving a person in an almost ethereal state of bliss.

In a blink, this session of cultivation took most of the day.

After the breakthrough, as the Immortal Liquid washed and nourished his entire body, Wang Xiaoqiang felt relaxed and comfortable, lying in the cave, and he slept for half a day more.

In the evening, he awoke, remembering that three days had passed and it was time for the gathering, so he stepped out of the cave to its entrance.

The Patterned Beast, seeing its master breakthrough to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, exclaimed excitedly, crouching at Wang Xiaoqiang's feet. Wang Xiaoqiang, with a thought, absorbed it, and the Patterned Beast transformed into a shadow and reappeared as a tattoo on Wang Xiaoqiang's back.

Because the Patterned Beast depends on its master for life, sharing a spiritual and physical bond, when the Patterned Beast attached to Wang Xiaoqiang's back, their blood intermingled and exchanged, and as the owner's level increased, so too did the Patterned Beast's strength, with the bond between master and pet closely linked in cultivation.

Divine Beasts are categorized into ten tiers based on strength. A Great Luo Golden Immortal's strength corresponds to that of a Divine Beast. A Great Luo Golden Immortal of the First Liquid Realm like Wang Xiaoqiang matches the cultivation level of a First Tier Divine Beast. The Patterned Beast, with its master's improvement, has risen beyond the scope of a Spirit Beast, stepping into the realm of Divine Beasts, now possessing enough power to contend with one.

After retrieving the Divine Beast, Wang Xiaoqiang, with a thought, released half of the Five Elements Spirit Spring from within his body, thus transforming his Qi Refining Cultivation to appear as an Immortal Emperor Fifth Qi Realm cultivator.

This disguise was necessary. Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation progressed too quickly. Within just three days, he advanced from an Immortal Emperor Seven Qi Realm to Great Luo Golden Immortal, a feat too shocking and unbelievable. Previously, he had always cloaked himself as an Immortal Emperor Fourth Qi Realm in front of others. Transitioning from Immortal Emperor Fourth Qi Realm to Great Luo Golden Immortal spanned across six levels, whereas the jump from Immortal Emperor Fourth Qi Realm to Immortal Emperor Fifth Qi Realm was only one tier. Although breaking through in a few days still seemed fast, it wouldn't terrify others.

Hence, a portion of his strength had to be concealed, and hidden appropriately.

Concealing strength also had its advantages, creating an illusion to confuse foes.

After disguising his cultivation, Wang Xiaoqiang folded his hands behind his back, took large strides, left the cave, and headed towards the small grove where the five had last convened.

Upon arriving at the grove, he discovered the other four had yet to arrive,

Wang Xiaoqiang then retrieved the Red-Horned Sheep from the Sumeru Ring and placed it on the ground, skinning and deboning it for meat, cutting the flesh into small chunks,

He then chopped down a large tree, gathered a pile of branches, used thin twigs to skewer the meat, assembled the thick branches into a heap, and with a wave of his hand, unleashed Fire Element Spiritual Energy to ignite the branches, placing the skewered mutton over the fire to roast, and also took out seasoning salt from the Sumeru Ring to sprinkle over it.

While Wang Xiaoqiang was doing this, Tianhuo, Long Mu, Zuo Dao, and Ling Xuefei arrived one after the other,

The immortals of the Biluo Realm usually enjoy exquisite delicacies, with very particular tastes, but they weren't familiar with this primitive method of barbecuing mutton skewers.

Watching Wang Xiaoqiang prepare the meat in this primitive way aroused immense curiosity among the four. Mixed with curiosity, a dash of disdain as they assumed this primitive grilling method would surely yield coarse, tasteless results.
