In less than half an incense's time, Xia Xinghe's order to purge the city had spread throughout Eastsea City.

All the forces that did not help the three families to kill Xia Xingchen immediately gathered together and started to slaughter the families on the list.

This included the rogue cultivators in Eastsea City. All of them had joined forces with the large families to start a crazy purge in order to obtain Xia Xinghe's Spirit Breaking Pill.

The Ye and Zhao Families, who were once at the top of Eastsea City's pyramid, had tactfully shut their doors tightly. They did not allow anyone from their families to take even half a step outside, nor the outsiders to enter the Ye and Zhao Families.

What a joke!

The Ye and Zhao Families had just used all the resources their families had accumulated over the years in exchange for Xia Xinghe's forgiveness. Right now, it was the best choice to stay out of this mess. The two families only hoped that the fire wouldn't burn on them!

Without the support from the two great families, those flustered families became even more flustered!

On the other hand, the alliance army's morale was even higher because the only uninjured Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant in Eastsea City, as well as the publicly recognized number one clan, the Lan family, were the powerful backers of the alliance army!

For a moment, the entirety of Eastsea City was littered with corpses, and the rivers of blood flowed everywhere. All of this was because of a single sentence from Xia Xingchen.

With a single sentence, he slaughtered a city; it was only Xia Xinghe!

The mountains of corpses and the seas of blood outside did not seem to have any relationship with Xia Xinghe. He could only lock himself within the Lan family's ancestral hall and began to madly break through!

In the span of a single night, over a thousand heads fell to the ground in Eastsea City. Xia Xinghe had also successfully broken through the eighth level and stepped into the ninth level.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Several tens of thousands of people had died within Eastsea City, and the entire city was akin to hell. Of course, to Xia Xinghe, this was nothing.

And Xia Xingchen, after using these two days and one night, finally made a breakthrough. He broke through the barrier of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm and reached the Celestial Conclave Mirror!

Lan family estate, ancestral hall.

One after another, golden rays of light surrounded the sitting Xia Xingchen as they spun crazily. Invisible waves of air overturned the table and shattered the wooden chair!

"Hu!" Xia Xinghe let out a long breath and abruptly opened his eyes. His pitch-black eyes that looked like an ancient well immediately flashed with a bright light. "Breaking through to the next stage, the cultivation resources required are really too astonishing."

He shook his head and said: "I have consumed more than fifty low-grade spirit stones to make up for my previous consumption, and I have also used more than fifty low-grade spirit stones to break through the barrier and enter the ninth level of the Heaven Palace Mirror. But from the ninth level of the Heaven Palace Mirror to break through to the first level of the Heaven House Mirror, I have used a total of four hundred low-grade spirit stones and ten mid-grade spirit stones.

Breaking through the Celestial Mirror and stepping into the Celestial Condensation Mirror could be considered as breaking through the Celestial Mirror. Similarly, breaking through the Celestial Mirror and stepping into the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror was also breaking through the mirror.

However, Xia Xinghe didn't think of this. He only used two days and two nights to break through from the eighth level of the Heavenly Palace's mirror to the first level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. This kind of breakthrough speed was no longer considered a miracle; it was a complete miracle!

It has to be said that the genius Fang Ruyu had used nearly three years to break through the mirror!

This was the terror of the Spirit Swallowing Heaven Stealing Art!

After adjusting his inner breath, Xia Xinghe waved his hand and kept the remaining 30 medium-grade spirit stones and two high-grade spirit stones into his spatial space. Then, Xia Xinghe waved his hand again, and the small hill that had turned from spirit stones into ordinary stones immediately exploded, turning into fragments, and scattered throughout the ancestral hall.

Slowly standing up, Xia Xinghe strode out of the ancestral hall.

Above the dome, the sun was shining brightly. Xia Xinghe raised his head and squinted his eyes, looking at the sun, muttering to himself: "As my cultivation level increases, the cultivation resources consumed will also become more and more enormous. I don't have enough spirit stones with me, I need more cultivation resources."

As his cultivation base increased, Xia Xinghe's spiritual sea also continued to expand, and the amount of spiritual energy that he needed also increased.

Previously, a low rank soul stone could help Xia Xinghe advance from the first level of the Celestial mirror to the second level of the Celestial mirror. But after breaking through to the second level, it would require tens of low rank soul stones. Furthermore, the number of spirit stones needed to breakthrough to the second level of the Celestial mirror would also increase exponentially.

When Xia Xinghe's cultivation reached the ninth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror, the energy consumption would be even more terrifying. An initial estimate would be close to five hundred to six hundred spirit stones, or even a thousand spirit stones.

Once a martial artist broke through the mirror, their strength would undergo a qualitative transformation and they would be able to comprehend new abilities, such as the spiritual energy coming out of their body from the Celestial Constellation Mirror or the golden qi image from the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror.

Bathing in the sunlight, Xia Xinghe pondered on his own. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts.

Ta ta ta …

Lan Yiyi quickly ran into the small courtyard of the ancestral hall. When she saw Xia Xinghe walk out of the ancestral hall, Lan Yiyi instantly breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden. She respectfully said, "Young Master Xia, you've finally come out of seclusion …"

Before she could finish her words, Lan Yiyi was suddenly stunned on the spot. It was because she had noticed Xia Xinghe's cultivation base, which was at the first level of the Heaven's Perception!

"Young Master Xia, you … "You …" Lan Yiyi pointed at Xia Xinghe, so shocked that she couldn't speak. After a long while, Lan Yiyi forced out a sentence. "In a short two days and two nights, you've actually broken through to the first level of the Heaven's Path Mirror?"

"You can see my cultivation?" Xia Xing looked towards Lan Yiyi in surprise.

Normally speaking, if a martial practitioner didn't display their strength, a lower realm martial practitioner wouldn't be able to see through the cultivation of a higher realm martial practitioner. Unless the lower realm martial practitioner's perception was particularly sharp, or unless the lower realm martial practitioner had the talent to pry.

Obviously, Lan Yiyi did not have the talent to spy on people. Furthermore, Lan Yiyi's cultivation level was not as high as Xia Xinghe's, which meant, Lan Yiyi's perception was also stronger than normal people's soul force!

"I don't know why I can see through young lord Xia's cultivation either …" Lan Yiyi pinched the corner of her shirt in confusion. After that, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something as she said to Xia Xinghe, "Young Master Xia, hurry and go to the central square. Father is losing control of the situation!"
