What puzzled him was that the Divine Tower was completely empty.
Soon after, he felt a ripple of energy coming from outside the tower. Tan Yun’s expression changed as he quickly rushed out.
As he stepped outside, he saw a group of figures gathered not far away, surrounded by a faint golden light. The sight immediately captured his attention.
“Is that the golden dragon spirit lion?” Tan Yun's eyes widened in surprise.
He stepped closer and recognized that it was indeed the golden dragon spirit lion, a rare divine beast known for its formidable strength and noble lineage.
In the center of the group stood Su Bing, her cultivation level radiating a powerful aura as she engaged in conversation with the others.
Tan Yun felt a wave of relief wash over him, knowing that Su Bing and the others had made progress in their cultivation.
“Let’s see how much they’ve improved,” he thought, observing from a distance, a proud smile forming on his lips.
The golden dragon spirit lion, sensing Tan Yun’s presence, turned its golden eyes towards him, letting out a low roar that echoed through the area.
“Tan Yun!” Su Bing exclaimed, her face lighting up as she spotted him.
The others quickly turned, and a joyful atmosphere enveloped the group as they rushed over to greet him.
“Have you been well?” Xue Ziyan asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
“I’m fine,” Tan Yun replied, a warm smile spreading across his face. “I see you all have made great strides in your cultivation. It's impressive!”
“Thank you! We’ve been training hard under the guidance of the golden dragon spirit lion,” Su Bing said proudly.
Tan Yun nodded in approval, feeling a sense of pride for his companions.
As they conversed, the golden dragon spirit lion let out another roar, this time signaling for everyone to gather closer.
“Let’s take this opportunity to train together,” Tan Yun suggested, looking at the group with determination.
With renewed energy, they prepared for their training session, ready to push their limits and grow stronger together.
Soon, through his divine consciousness, Tan Yun discovered that the group and the beasts were chatting away in the cave dwelling, clearly having already refined all the resources provided to them.
This was indeed the case. Over a month ago, the group and the beasts had exhausted their cultivation resources, and then left the Divine Tower to chat in the cave dwelling while waiting for Tan Yun to finish his seclusion.
Tan Yun smiled slightly and disappeared from the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens, only to reappear before the group and beasts. He quickly assessed their cultivation levels.
Now, Shen Subing, Jade Whisper, Fang Zhiqing, Tang Mengyi, Shiyao, Ziyan, Yingying, and the Heartless Supreme God had all reached the fifth grade earth deity level!
The eight of them, capable of challenging higher levels, possessed the strength to eliminate fourth rank celestial gods!
