"What... what on earth is happening?"

The Great Elder still couldn't believe it. The Patriarch was actually cultivating at this time!

And he couldn't believe that these disciples were cultivating too!

Usually, when he called for these disciples to cultivate, they wouldn't respond no matter how many times he asked.

But now, they were actually cultivating here with the Patriarch?

It was like seeing a ghost!

"You all..." The Great Elder hadn't finished speaking when he saw a disciple wave his hand, interrupting him.

The disciple looked earnestly at Ning Tian on the cliff, as if looking at a god. "Great Elder, there's no need to say more. Seeing the Patriarch work so hard, how can we, as disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, not strive as well?"

Great Elder: "..."

The disciple's words were sincere and moving!

"Great Elder, why not join us in cultivating?" The disciple looked at the Great Elder.

"No... no need..."

The Great Elder twitched his mouth, waving his hand. "I am too old to stay up late like you young people."

"That's really a pity."

The disciple shook his head, saying regretfully.

"The night is dark and the wind is high, it's the perfect time for cultivation, Great Elder!"

"......"

The Great Elder was speechless, thinking these disciples must have gone mad today.

Just as he was about to leave.

Suddenly, on Moonlight Cliff, the bright moonlight poured down, and a massive amount of spiritual energy began to gather continuously into the body of the person sitting there!

"This is..."

The Great Elder's eyes sharpened as he looked over.

He saw that Ning Tian's body seemed to be draped in a robe of moonlight, with spiritual energy swirling around, silver light accompanying the flow of energy.

A massive amount of spiritual energy circled around him.

"Is the Patriarch... about to break through?"

Seeing this scene, the Great Elder was slightly surprised.

He felt strange.

How could the Patriarch's breakthrough be as simple as drinking water?

The scene on Moonlight Cliff startled many disciples who were sitting and cultivating. They all widened their eyes, excitedly looking at the figure on the cliff.

"I didn't expect the Patriarch to be on the verge of another breakthrough so soon, amazing!"

"Truly a model for us all!"

"I heard that just a few days ago, the Patriarch broke through to the Spirit Communication Realm. Tsk tsk, and now there's already a sign of another breakthrough!"

"This..."

"Perhaps this is the difference between us and the Patriarch."

The disciples discussed among themselves.

On Moonlight Cliff, moonlight and spiritual energy intertwined.

Ning Tian sat cross-legged, operating the Heavenly God Record, absorbing the massive spiritual energy. In his palm, a faint white jade pearl could be seen.

It was the Soul Essence Pearl, formed from the energy of the Heavenly Demon soul.

With the blessing of moonlight spiritual energy and the continuous absorption of the massive energy from the Soul Essence Pearl, Ning Tian was faintly showing signs of a breakthrough.

Boom!

When the spiritual energy broke through the barrier within his body, Ning Tian's face lit up with joy!

This is it, a breakthrough!

[Host breakthrough!]

[Congratulations to the host for breaking through again, reaching the Two-Star Spirit Communication Realm!]

The system's pleasant electronic voice echoed in his mind.

Instantly, the momentum within Ning Tian surged dramatically!

"Hoo..."

"Feels great..."

Ning Tian opened his eyes, a gleam flashing in them, muttering to himself, "At this rate, can I break through to the Earth King Realm in two months?"

What!

Breaking through from the Spirit Communication Realm to the Earth King Realm in two months!

"Hiss..."

A group of disciples, including the Great Elder, gasped.

"However, two months is still a bit long..."

On the cliff, that muttering voice sounded again.

The disciples: "......"

Great Elder: "......"

They were utterly exasperated. Breaking through from the Spirit Communication Realm to the Earth King Realm in two months was already extremely abnormal!

And now you're complaining that two months is long!

Comparing oneself to others really is infuriating!

The Great Elder was so frustrated that he almost spat out blood.

Back then, it took him a full two years to break through from the Spirit Communication Realm to the Earth King Realm!

Two years!

Even then, he was considered extremely fast among his peers!

As Ning Tian muttered to himself, the system's pleasant electronic voice echoed in his mind once more.

[You have shocked a group of disciples and the Great Elder, reward: Faith Cultivation!]

[Faith Cultivation: When there are followers around you, and you cultivate with them, the followers' cultivation speed doubles, and the spiritual energy they cultivate will be returned to the host!]

"Oh?"

"Faith Cultivation?"

"Is there such a good thing?"

Hearing the system's words, Ning Tian's eyes widened.

But as for followers...

In the Heavenly Demon Sect, it seemed like he had no shortage of followers.

[Faith Cultivation, activated!]

Instantly, a golden formation visible only to Ning Tian appeared, enveloping the surrounding disciples, with him at the very center of the formation.

After stretching lazily, Ning Tian slowly stood up.

He noticed the Great Elder staring at him from below.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

"Great Elder, on a full moon night, why not join us in cultivation?" Ning Tian asked with a smile.

"No..."

The Great Elder waved his hand, saying calmly, "Reporting to the Patriarch, I am merely patrolling to see if any disciples are out past curfew..."

"Oh?"

"These disciples don't count, right? Cultivating with me shouldn't be considered out past curfew, should it?"

Ning Tian smiled at the Great Elder.

A group of disciples felt a tightness in their hearts. If the Great Elder caught them, they would surely be punished!

Now, these disciples could only pray that the Patriarch would protect them.

"This..."

The Great Elder hesitated, then looked at Ning Tian and shook his head. He had to give face to the Patriarch.

"Naturally, it doesn't count. The Patriarch leading cultivation under the moonlight, such dedication, how can it be considered out past curfew..."

"Ahem..."

"I have other areas to patrol, so I won't disturb the Patriarch."

With that, the Great Elder's spiritual sword appeared, ready to leave.

"Great Elder, won't you stay and cultivate with me? You might gain a lot from cultivating with me today."

Ning Tian looked at the Great Elder.

If he could turn the Great Elder into his follower and cultivate within the Faith Cultivation formation, then with the Great Elder's strength, the spiritual energy returned would be very rich!

To Ning Tian, the Great Elder was like a fat sheep that couldn't be let go easily.

"This..."

The Great Elder was stunned, looking at Ning Tian with a strange expression.

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Why does the Patriarch's gaze look like he wants to eat me?"

The Great Elder shook his head, just about to refuse, when suddenly, he heard an excited shout.

"Damn, I'm... I'm about to break through!"

"Me too! How is this possible? I just broke through to Three-Star Basalt Master a few days ago!"

"I broke through too! This... this must be the Patriarch's blessing!"

"The Patriarch is amazing!"

The next second, a group of disciples cultivating with Ning Tian were all excited!

They all clearly sensed the spiritual energy within them circulating!

This was clearly a sign of an impending breakthrough!
