Gu Hao said to Tianqiong, "Old Ancestor Tianqiong, I just stopped you from breaking through your cultivation further because I want you to consolidate your foundation a bit more before making the breakthrough. You don't blame me, do you?"
"Gu Hao, I can't thank you enough! But tell me, what realm lies beyond this?"
Gu Hao chuckled. "Old Ancestor Tianqiong, above this there is still one more realm, which is the Earth Immortal Venerable. Once you reach the Earth Immortal Venerable realm, you will have to leave this world and ascend to the Immortal Realm. I was afraid that if you broke through too quickly and your foundation remained unstable, even upon reaching the Immortal Realm, advancing any further would become extremely difficult. Even if you were lucky enough to break through, you wouldn't be able to go very far."
