While Wuma Shengjie was healing, the members of the Wuma Heavenly Clan continued their cultivation.
However, after roughly two more hours had passed, they all opened their eyes one after another.
"The heaven and earth energy has completely vanished."
The Wuma Heavenly Clan members sighed, their words laced with a heavy sense of helplessness.
But not long after, a wave of destructive aura suddenly swept past them, flashing by in an instant.
"What's going on?"
The sensation left the Wuma Heavenly Clan members believing they had hallucinated.
"You all felt that too?"
Soon enough, they realized that it wasn't just them individually who had sensed that destructive aura — it seemed that every clan member present had felt it.
"Yeah, I thought it was a hallucination. But it wasn't, was it? You felt it too?"
"I think I even heard a clap of thunder just now."
In an instant, the Wuma Heavenly Clan members began buzzing with discussion.
After exchanging their thoughts, everyone concluded that the strange phenomenon and that terrifying, almost incomprehensible aura were very likely an omen — a very bad omen.
"It seems something has truly gone wrong. We shouldn't stay here any longer."
In the midst of the panic, someone spoke up.
"We can't. Shengjie is still suppressing the Blood Soul Gu. We can't disturb him during that process. Let's wait until he's suppressed the Blood Soul Gu before we leave."
"Mm, that seems to be the only option."
The Wuma Heavenly Clan members now turned their gazes toward the palace where Wuma Shengjie was sequestered, their eyes filled with anxiety.
Not long after, the sensation came once more. This time, the aura was even more terrifying, though it vanished even faster.
At that moment, the Wuma Heavenly Clan members grew even more panicked, but they managed to hold their ground and did not go to disturb Wuma Shengjie.
Yet after only a short while, the sensation struck yet again. The aura was more terrifying still, and it disappeared even quicker.
This only reinforced the Wuma Heavenly Clan members' certainty that it was a harbinger of approaching danger.
They completely lost their composure. Many clan members began wavering, wanting to leave.
But considering the grace Wuma Shengjie had shown them, they ultimately did not depart, nor did they disturb him.
Fortunately, after the aura manifested three times, it did not appear again.
This brought a measure of relief to the originally frantic Wuma Heavenly Clan members, easing the tension that had gripped them.
What they did not know was that the aura they had sensed was no harbinger of approaching danger at all.
It was the Divine Thunder streaking past. The Divine Thunder had swept by their side, but it moved far too quickly for them to even see it — which was all they could perceive was that terrifying aura, along with the faint clap of thunder that vanished in the blink of an eye.
And that Divine Thunder had naturally been caused by none other than Chu Feng.
After refining those cultivation resources, Chu Feng had begun attempting to break through.
The three bolts of Divine Thunder had streaked past in succession, which meant that Chu Feng had broken through three consecutive levels of cultivation.
At that moment, Chu Feng sat cross-legged in the depths beneath the cavern, his eyes already open.
