Chapter 591: Breakthroughs One After Another

Originally, any cultivator's breakthrough is extremely difficult.

It requires not only diligent daily practice, but also innate talent and bone structure, which are indispensable, and sometimes even closely tied to luck.

Breakthroughs through sudden enlightenment are not uncommon in the cultivation world.

Generally speaking, to break through one's cultivation, various factors must be considered.

Although Dao Yi Sect disciples are not lacking in talent, especially the inner disciples, they are outstanding figures even in Dongzhou.

Yet even so, their breakthroughs are not easily achieved in daily practice.

But now, it's completely passive—just being pushed upward.

I never imagined that one day I could break through so easily.

As the internal energy surged, many disciples dared not continue eating.

It wasn't that they were full; rather, their internal energy could barely withstand it.

Seeing this, Qi Xiong and others exchanged glances—how fierce is this banquet?

After just a few bites, they were forced straight into a breakthrough?

Some inner disciples had already broken through a minor realm, their internal energy somewhat depleted; thus they began gobbling down food again.

No joke—such delicious food with heaven-defying effects, how could we miss it?

As they ate, their internal energy surged again, and then another breakthrough began.

Seeing this, Qi Xiong and others were dumbfounded—when did breakthroughs become like a joke?

"Nothing will happen, right?"

"Let me check."

For a moment, all the peak masters personally examined their disciples' bodies, finding no issues whatsoever.

Moreover, after the breakthrough, their cultivation realm felt no emptiness; the foundation was extremely solid.

This is absurd—there's no sign of a forced breakthrough.

But after confirming this, Qi Xiong and others relaxed, only able to sigh inwardly that Ye Zhangqing's meals are becoming ever more heaven-defying.

They naturally didn't know that this Eight Treasures Banquet was entirely due to the system's reward.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhangqing could not achieve this; it can be said to be a rare opportunity that one might encounter but not seek.

"I broke through—keep eating."

"I broke through too—continue."

"You guys, leave some for me—I'll be fine soon."

Those who had broken through were overjoyed; those still breaking through, seeing their companions feasting, felt anxious as well.

"Don't eat anymore—there'll be none left."

Yet regarding this, no one paid any heed—when faced with delicious food, who talks about modesty?

Throughout the canteen, the sounds of breakthroughs rose and fell, never stopping since earlier.

Some disciples, in less than half an hour, went directly from Great Accomplishment of the Dharma Appearance Realm all the way to its Completion.

"Good grief, breaking through two minor realms in half an hour—I'm about to take off."

Even Qi Xiong and the other sages stared dumbfounded—they had never seen such a scene.

Half an hour—consecutive breakthroughs of two minor realms—no one would dare boast like that.

But this is now a fact; these disciples are breaking through right before their eyes.

"Breakthroughs of minor realms are fine, but major realm breakthroughs......"

At this moment, Tian Nong curiously said, Ye Zhangqing's dishes this time are indeed heaven-defying in effect, but compared to minor realm breakthroughs, major realm breakthroughs are undoubtedly much harder.

The two are incomparable; any major realm breakthrough equals a qualitative change, and wanting to break through a major realm is far from as simple as a minor realm.

Ye Zhangqing merely smiled faintly at this.

You still don't understand the terror of the Eight Treasures Banquet—the same principle applies to major realm breakthroughs.

Sure enough, as Tian Nong's words hadn't finished, Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, and others' faces changed; they hastily swallowed their food and then exclaimed in delight.

"I'm about to break through?"

Their cultivation was already at the Completion of the Dharma Appearance Realm; breaking through would lead to the Heaven-Man Realm.

Thus, although they had eaten many dishes before, there had been no sign of a breakthrough.

I thought that relying solely on Ye Zhangqing's dishes might hardly break the major realm cultivation barrier.

But who would have thought they'd feel it now?

Their spiritual power began to surge violently, utterly uncontrollable, and their cultivation instantly rose like water lifting a boat, giving no time to react.

"Holy shit, this feeling......"

Zhao Zhengping was overjoyed; normally, following regular cultivation, he would need at least proficient arduous practice to break through to the Heaven-Man Realm.

This is even with ample cultivation resources, including daily nourishment from Ye Zhangqing's meals.

But now, after just a meal, he is already about to break through.

Even Tian Nong, at this moment, stared wide-eyed—his words had just finished, and now they were slapped in the face?

"Can a major realm work too?"

This is absurd—minor realms aside, is major realm breakthrough also this unreasonable? Just say it and it happens?

Before anyone could finish being shocked, Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, and others had already successfully broken through from the Completion of the Dharma Appearance Realm to the entry of the Heaven-Man Realm.

"Is that it?"

"Damn, we didn't do anything—just broke through? Finished after drinking a cup of water?"

The elders watched enviously; they too are only at the Heaven-Man Realm cultivation.

Looking back, they once paid a great price to break through, but now Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, and the others simply sat at the table and broke through directly.

Compared to them, the elders simply felt a grievance that made them want to cover their faces and cry bitterly.

To achieve today's cultivation level, they endured how much hardship and suffering, while others casually broke through to the Heaven-Human realm.

"Ah, so refreshing, keep eating."

Having successfully broken through, Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou and the others were overjoyed; without another word, they began feasting heartily again.

As someone broke through a major realm, soon Liu Shuang, Wanxiang, Xu Jie and others also began breaking through one after another, and all were breakthroughs of a major realm.

Just as everyone was still shocked at how easily these disciples had broken through, an Elder suddenly cried out in alarm.

"I also want to break through."

"Huh? Have you eaten something stupid? What are you trying to break through?"

Hearing this, the companion beside him looked over with a puzzled expression: "You old coot, haven't you already reached perfected cultivation in the Heaven-Human realm? What more are you trying to break through? Going higher would be the Shèngjìng realm."

"You think breaking through the Shèngjìng realm is that easy, just by eating and drinking?"

"Wait..............."

At first it was extremely strange, but soon the surrounding companions realized, could it really be that they are about to break through?

These dishes can even let a damn Shèngjìng-level expert break through? How absurd is that?

Just as they were wildly guessing, a terrifying surge erupted from this Elder's body, and to Qi Xiong and the others, such a surge was intimately familiar.
