After an unknown amount of time, the two woke from this mysterious realm. They exchanged a smile, their eyes brimming with deep satisfaction and joy.
"It feels like we've lived in this virtual world for ages," Gu Sheng remarked.
"Indeed, it felt like a lifetime," the Yaochi Saintess responded softly. "And our cultivation has visibly improved."
Gu Sheng assessed the power within his body, delightfully discovering that he had broken through from the Sixth Layer Heaven of the Navel Wheel Realm to the Eighth Layer Heaven. The Yaochi Saintess had similarly advanced, leaping from the Second Layer Heaven to the Seventh Layer Heaven. Their breakthroughs triggered celestial phenomena; purple energy surged three thousand miles eastward, as though an Immortal Realm had descended.
"The results of our Dual Cultivation are astonishing!" Gu Sheng exclaimed, gripping the Saintess's hand excitedly. "Thank you, Saintess."
