A week later, Yu Tian and Xueling sat across from each other.
They weren't in direct contact like when they cultivated together before, but qi swirled around them in visible currents.
Over the past week, they'd been attacked several times by cultivators from the Dark Moon Hall. But thanks to Xueling's combat power at the peak of Golden Core Realm - boosted by her breakthrough to the eleventh layer of Body Refining - they'd easily defeated every enemy sent their way.
Lately, the attacks seemed to have slowed down. Yu Tian guessed the Dark Moon Hall was focusing more on the other forces for now, since every group they sent this way simply vanished without a trace.
Well, thanks to that breathing room, Yu Tian and Xueling could finally start preparing for their breakthrough.
Yu Tian observed his own condition. He'd already undergone his second rebirth, entering the twelfth layer of Body Refining. This allowed his combat power to match Xueling's peak Golden Core strength.
