Sea God Palace.

After a day of cultivation, Mu Jinyu's cultivation finally advanced from the late Fourth Layer of the Hedao Realm to the early Sixth Layer Hedao Realm.

And it solidified there.

"Strange..."

After stabilizing his cultivation, Mu Jinyu also discovered that although the golden dragon soul in his dantian was still circling around the Golden Core, his cultivation could no longer increase dramatically.

Similarly, during this day of cultivation, Mu Jinyu felt that his rapid cultivation progress seemed not solely due to the dragon soul.

"What exactly is going on?"

Mu Jinyu thought for a while but still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

Eventually, he shook his head, choosing not to dwell on these issues any longer.

He got up and took another look at this great hall. Mu Jinyu searched around inside, but found nothing useful.

Finally, Mu Jinyu stored the stone box and stone table into the storage bag before leaving the hall.

Stepping out of the hall and standing on the steps, Mu Jinyu saw Yu Shenfeng sitting cross-legged on the plaza below, deep in cultivation.

Upon closer inspection, his cultivation level had reached the Peak Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm!

"Hmm?!"

Upon seeing Yu Shenfeng's change in cultivation, Mu Jinyu's eyes focused, and the previous inexplicable feeling rose in his heart again.

Yesterday, Yu Shenfeng's cultivation was only at the Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm; how did it reach Peak Fifth Layer today?

Could it be... that his previous feeling was correct, and his cultivation breakthrough wasn't actually due to absorbing the dragon soul?

Otherwise, there's no reason for Yu Shenfeng, who hadn't gained any opportunity in the Sea God Palace, to have his cultivation suddenly jump to such an absurd level!

Just as Mu Jinyu was pondering, Yu Shenfeng happened to awaken from his cultivation.

"What a feeling..."

Yu Shenfeng stood up, his skeletons emitting sounds like firecrackers, crisp and pleasant.

"Dragon Master, strangely enough, my cultivation just suddenly advanced to Peak Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm..."

Seeing Mu Jinyu standing on the steps, having just exited, Yu Shenfeng spoke to him delightedly.

Inside, he felt a spark of pride.

He thought it was remarkable to advance two minor realms without ingesting any elixirs or heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Hmm, my cultivation also advanced from Fourth Layer Hedao Realm to Sixth Layer Hedao Realm. I had thought it was the effect of refining the dragon soul, but now it seems that might not be the case..."

Mu Jinyu nodded, frowning slightly as he spoke.

"What?"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Yu Shenfeng's slight look of pride instantly froze on his face.

He hadn't expected Mu Jinyu to also leap two minor realms.

It seemed similar to his own advancement, but...

Mu Jinyu's cultivation is in Hedao Realm, and these two minor realms equal several minor realms in the Fanxu Realm.

Instantly, Yu Shenfeng's self-satisfaction vanished.

Mu Jinyu, unaware of Yu Shenfeng's thoughts, asked, "Senior Yu, did you gain any opportunity here, causing your cultivation to improve?"

He thought if Yu Shenfeng's cultivation increased because he gained some fortune in the Sea God Palace while Mu Jinyu was in seclusion, it would make sense.

Perhaps his strange feeling, thinking the cultivation surge wasn't due to the dragon soul, was just an illusion.

Hearing Mu Jinyu's inquiry, Yu Shenfeng shook his head and said, "No, yesterday I was preparing to refine the dragon soul; I went out to take care of those remaining Rugens. Just as I reached the plaza, I suddenly felt my bottleneck seem to be touched, and nature's spiritual energy was surging toward me, so I decisively started to cultivate on the spot..."

"I cultivated for a day, and my cultivation soared from Peak Third Layer of the Fanxu Realm to Peak Fifth Layer..."

After speaking, Yu Shenfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I just thought I finally had an epiphany. Turns out, Dragon Master, you also had a cultivation surge, so it looks like the change isn't just on my side."

"Does it mean this is from the Spiritual Energy Revival's grand changes?"

Mu Jinyu and Yu Shenfeng exchanged glances, reaching this conclusion.

In last year's first Spiritual Energy Revival, the world's changes weren't as harsh as the Ice Age. Many worldwide transitioned from ordinary people to martial arts experts, some even mutated, growing wings and gaining the ability to fly...

But those with such changes weren't significant and didn't turn an ordinary person into someone of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Mostly, it was between Mingjin and Dark Energy, only extremely talented people could suddenly transform into a Master of Energy Transformation.

Such individuals were rare.

Now, this Ice Age marks the second Spiritual Energy Revival. Mu Jinyu and Yu Shenfeng both experienced a two-minor realm surge yesterday, reminiscent of last year's Spiritual Energy Revival.

This indicates that the disaster known as the Ice Age is likely nearing its end and those who survived had their cultivations transformed dramatically.

"Let's look around to see if there's anything we missed; if not, let's head out and check the outside."

Mu Jinyu suggested to Yu Shenfeng.

Then, they spent half an hour searching through the Sea God Palace, looking for any missed valuables.

But there weren't any.

It seemed the only treasure in the Sea God Palace was the dragon pearl stored in the hall.

The Sea God statue, covered in cracks, crumbled into fragments during Yu Shenfeng's inspection.

Yu Shenfeng felt regretful, complaining that the mermaid deceived them; there wasn't any Sea God Spirit Sacrifice.

Mu Jinyu told him that the Sea God Spirit Sacrifice had been dealt with, soothing Yu Shenfeng.

Then, they regretfully left the Sea God Palace.

Emerging from the lakebed, leaping back to the cave's entrance, Yu Shenfeng looked at the calm Emerald Lake, regretfully saying, "Too bad, a few Rugens still got away yesterday..."

"Let's go."

Mu Jinyu said, and then both he and Yu Shenfeng left the cave, returning to the desolate island.

"Hmm?!"

"Indeed..."

As they exited the dark cave and saw the scene of the island's snow melting, the sun shining again, they paused, then spoke with satisfaction.

"The blizzards finally stopped. Now, those still living outside shouldn't have to worry about being buried under snow..."

Mu Jinyu chuckled lightly, relieved of a burden in his heart.

"Let's head back to the Dragon King Hall, see how things are now..."

Yu Shenfeng couldn't wait to see how Huaxia had changed.
