Chen Xuan spoke indifferently.

"Thank you!"

Tang Gu, for the first time, bowed slightly towards him.

However, Chen Xuan immediately stopped him, "No need to do that, this is all you deserve."

"I said before, as long as you serve me well, I will not treat you badly."

When it comes to his own people, Chen Xuan is never stingy.

Breaking the Array of the Three Judicial Departments, Tang Gu absolutely deserves the first merit.

And previously, he carefully taught Xiaoqi.

Chen Xuan saw all of this, so helping him pass the Spirit Tribulation was only right.

"There’s no need for more words, just give me your orders when there’s anything!"

"Alright!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

After Tang Gu left, Gu Xiang, who hadn’t spoken, finally did.

"Can you really help him pass the Spirit Tribulation?"

"I’m somewhat confident!"

The Spirit Tribulation for a Spirit Cultivator targets the soul, and according to his idea... as long as he protects his soul, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Even if there is a problem... he can directly enter the Spirit Tribulation.

Just shatter it!

He’s done it twice before, so he’s an old hand at it.

"Incredible..."

Gu Xiang sighed deeply.

Because whether it’s a Spirit Cultivator or a Martial Cultivator, Spirit Tribulations must be passed on their own, and if outsiders intervene, the power of the Spirit Tribulation will increase exponentially.

So... in his understanding, no one ever dares to intervene in a Spirit Tribulation.

Unexpectedly, he can!

"Father-in-law, do you wish to reach the Dao Realm?"

Chen Xuan suddenly asked.

Dao Realm!

Upon hearing these two words, Gu Xiang’s breathing suddenly became heavier, his eyes widened as he looked at him.

As if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

"Dao Realm?"

"Could it be you can let me break through to the Dao Realm!!!!"

When Gu Xiang said this, his hands trembled slightly with nervousness.

Dao Realm... that is the realm he has dreamed of reaching.

Currently, he is already at Half-Step Dao Realm, but the Dao Realm seems like an unattainable goal.

And he has no confidence in his ability to reach the Dao Realm.

Even... Gu Yun once told him that there was little hope.

So, to be honest, he had long since given up in these years.

But with one sentence from Chen Xuan, hope was reignited.

No wonder he was so excited.

"Husband, can you really help Father reach the Dao Realm?"

At this moment, Gu Pengyou couldn’t help but speak up. She knew full well how much Gu Xiang desired to break through to the Dao Realm.

All these years, although he never said it out loud, she knew in her heart how much he envied Second Uncle.

"I can, but it might be a bit weak, though it should still be fine."

The Sixteenth Level of Nine Elements Dao Skill can indeed forcibly enhance Martial Dao talent, and compared to before, it will be much better.

But ultimately, it is external assistance and certainly differs from breaking through with one’s own abilities.

"What about other things?"

Gu Pengyou asked as well.

After all, she was aware of some forced enhancement methods, but they greatly harmed oneself, and even... affected lifespan.

"The other things... shouldn’t be an issue!"

Chen Xuan thought for a moment, because he had previously forcibly enhanced Zhuo Wu and Wang Man, and although they were slightly weaker, there were no other issues.

Now that the Nine Elements Dao Skill has reached the Sixteenth Level, it is even less likely to cause problems.

"Then, I’ll trouble you."

Gu Xiang nodded heavily, having made up his mind.

Even if there’s some harm, it doesn’t matter to him.

Dao Realm... that’s the Dao Realm.

What is there to hesitate about!

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan looked at Gu Pengyou, seeking her opinion.

She nodded slightly.

"Very well!"

Chen Xuan did not hesitate anymore, "Once Tang Gu passes the Spirit Tribulation, we’ll proceed with your enhancement."

To be honest... he was somewhat uncertain at the moment.

After all, this is the Dao Realm, very different from previous realms.

"Am I treating him like a guinea pig?"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

And if it succeeds this time, once the Human Realm’s coordinates matter is settled, he could create a group of Dao Realm experts loyal to him.

This is also why he sought the method for soul seeds from the Demon Realm Saintess.

...

Two days later!

Tang Gu’s Spirit Tribulation arrived on time.

On a patch of grass in the center of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

Looking at the Spirit Tribulation forming in the sky, Tang Gu couldn’t help but swallow.

"Phew—"

He exhaled deeply, forcibly calming his nervous heart.

But... it seemed not to help!

His heart thudded incessantly, and even tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, resting on his wrinkles.

His gaze involuntarily turned to Chen Xuan in the distance.

"Rest assured, if you cannot withstand it, I will step in."

Chen Xuan said indifferently.

"Mm!"

Tang Gu replied, and with Chen Xuan’s assurance, his tense heart gradually began to calm down.

As time passed, the sky started to darken.

The Spirit Tribulation in the void had fully formed.

An invisible pressure descended from the void.

"Such great pressure."

Gu Xiang frowned slightly. Although he stood a kilometer away from Tang Gu, he could still feel the immense pressure, even in his Half-Step Dao Realm state.

One could only imagine how it was for Tang Gu beneath the Spirit Tribulation.

"Hmm, it’s a bit uncomfortable!"

Xian Si also spoke slowly at this time.

"I don’t feel anything!"

Xiaoqi, holding the mini-sized golden dragon, felt nothing compared to his previous experience with Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan glanced at the little golden dragon in his embrace.

"As expected, this little golden dragon is different, just as Rabbit said."

He then unleashed several threads of Spiritual Power, enveloping them.

Suddenly, that pressure vanished.

"Phew—"

Much better.

Xian Si exhaled deeply.

Seeing that they were alright, Chen Xuan’s gaze returned to Tang Gu in the distance.

Then, a brilliant silver glow flashed to Tang Gu’s side, in the form of a spirit force as thick as an arm.

"Do not resist; my spirit force will hide within your sea of consciousness!"
