"Brother Tiger, I feel like I'm about to make a breakthrough!"

While waiting for the holy fruit to mature, the magic cat suddenly showed signs of a breakthrough, and said directly to Xia Fan, "I don't know why it happened, it's a bit sudden!"

"It's okay, I'll be here to protect you."

Hearing this, the magic cat nodded, and then went into seclusion beside Xia Fan.

She knew that Xia Fan always did what he said, and with Xia Fan's current strength, he would definitely allow her to break through with peace of mind without being disturbed by external affairs.

Nowadays, the gap in strength between Xia Fan and the magic cat is huge. After all, one is at level seven and the other is still at level five. Therefore, if the magic cat's strength can be improved, its help to Xia Fan can be maximized!

Before, Xia Fan was able to increase his strength dramatically in Mount Tai because he devoured a large number of demons, and therefore did not obtain many crystal cores. At that time, the magic cat was just a companion, and he had no chance to use it to improve his strength.

Fortunately, after she had dealt with the Dragon Palace in the sea, she took advantage of Xia Fan's massacre to harvest a lot of sea beast crystal cores and ate them to her heart's content. Now she has finally digested all the energy in these crystal cores and accumulated the energy needed to break through to the sixth level.

Therefore, it was not surprising that the Magic Cat broke through at this time.

At this moment, Xia Fan was quietly guarding the magic cat with a gentle look in his eyes.

"You little guy, you have been following in my footsteps..."

As he thought about this, his mind couldn't help but recall some things from the past, and he knew that this little guy was the one who had followed him the longest.

Ever since that bloody rain, the magic cat has been following him, and the two have been inseparable. Now, the magic cat can be said to be Xia Fan’s best friend.

He was also very happy that the magic cat was able to break through.

A few hours later, the holy fruit in the deep pit finally matured. It was now emitting bursts of rich fragrance, which instantly attracted Xia Fan's attention.

"You've finally matured."

After a slight sigh, Xia Fan stretched out his tiger claws, and the golden fruit was picked up from the air and fell on his claws.

He looked at it for a few seconds, and then swallowed the golden fruit without hesitation.

In an instant, a huge amount of energy quickly flowed through his body, and in a short time it spread throughout his body, making him let out a comfortable moan.

"It is indeed a holy fruit!"

Xia Fan was filled with emotion. After all, even with his cultivation level at the early seventh stage, after swallowing this fruit, he felt that the power in his body was exceptionally abundant!

Such a spiritual fruit is worthy of the word "holy". No wonder it attracts so many fierce beasts and powerful beings.

"If what I expected is true..."

As Xia Fan carefully felt the power brought by the holy fruit, his eyes flickered and he murmured, "If someone below the seventh level consumes the holy fruit, they will probably be able to directly step into the seventh level, completely transform themselves, and become a rare strong person in the world!"

"But it's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Although I am already at the seventh level, this holy fruit is still useful to me. This trip... is not in vain!"

As time passed, the power within the holy fruit had been completely absorbed. During this period, Xia Fan did not miss any opportunity to absorb power. He constantly guided the power to flow within his body, strengthening his body, and finally successfully broke through to the middle stage of the seventh level.

At this moment, his whole body revealed a sharp aura, but it only lingered for a moment before he deliberately concealed it. "Where is the end of cultivation in this world?"

Xia Fan raised his head slightly, looking at the endless sky. He felt a little emotional because of becoming stronger, and even felt a little helpless and confused.

After all, he is now at the pinnacle of people in later generations, and is even one step ahead of many others. But the funny thing is that all his previous efforts can be completely replaced by just a spiritual fruit from heaven and earth.

The matter of cultivation suddenly became insignificant, even ridiculous, in front of this spiritual fruit.

If there were only such spiritual fruits in the world, would there be any need for cultivation? When the time came, everyone would wait for the spiritual fruits to ripen, and then eat one directly, and they would become stronger right there. Wouldn't this be easier than practicing hard?

Thinking of this, Xia Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly, shaking his head and saying to himself, "Sometimes, hard work may not be useful, but it is not as real as luck. This is really ironic!"

He could even imagine that if the fruit was not obtained by himself, but was eaten by other ferocious beasts or humans, wouldn't the other party be able to take this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step?
"Above the seventh level, there should be an eighth level, or even a ninth level."

Xia Fan felt that he couldn't figure out the previous questions, so he put them behind his mind, but soon new questions emerged, "Generally speaking, for the nine-digit extreme numbers, it stands to reason that reaching the ninth level may be the end of cultivation. Will there be more powerful beings above?"

"If so, what realm were the ancient Immortal Emperors, or even Saints, at?"

"They are definitely beings far beyond the ninth level, but it is unknown what they are like..."

Now, he has too many doubts in his mind, but no one can answer them.

After a long time, Xia Fan ended his contemplation, his eyes became firm again, "Forget it, forget it, the worst that can happen is that we can just deal with it as it comes. There is no point in daydreaming so much now!"

“Only through your own efforts and continuous digging can you find the answers to these questions.”

"Buzz!"

At the same time, a mysterious aura suddenly spread out, and the magic cat successfully broke through at this time.

As soon as it was over, she excitedly said to Xia Fan, "Brother Hu, I broke through to the sixth level!"

Her lively energy infected Xia Fan and made him temporarily put aside all his worries and troubles.

Perhaps it was because the magic cat had swallowed a relic before, so now she always exudes a soft light, which makes him feel very comfortable.

Hearing this, Xia Fan gently stroked the magic cat's head and said with a smile, "Haha, this is just the beginning. Next, I will give you more crystal cores to make you stronger!"

"Yeah! I know Brother Tiger will definitely do that."

"Clone, go!"

Not long after, Xia Fan created several clones again, and after giving an order, he let them run wildly in all directions.

The clones he created now all have the cultivation level of a pseudo-seventh-level, and their combat power is even comparable to that of a powerful being in the early seventh level.

Xia Fan stopped moving only after all the clones had left. He looked at their backs from afar and said softly, "From now on, the opportunities on this continent will hardly escape my control. I have completed all the arrangements and am just waiting for the opportunity to appear."
