But forget about that for later, as El was currently focused on his cultivation.
While focusing on cultivation, moments later, the surrounding energy vibrated violently, following the rhythm of El's deepening breath.
With every exhale, his body emitted increasingly intense pulses of energy, creating tremendous pressure within the cave.
Inside the Dantian, the Purple-colored Dou Qi Cyclone was like galaxy dust, spinning like a solar system, with nine Dou Qi Crystals orbiting like planets.
Suddenly, from each Dou Qi Crystal, long thorns resembling sea urchins appeared, pulsing in rhythm with the surging energy.
This was a sure sign that El had successfully penetrated Dou Ling's realm.
A moment later, the Dou Qi in his body exploded out, like a dam breaking, raging uncontrollably and filling the cave with tremendous pressure.
The walls of the cave churned violently, rumbling sounds filling the room as cracks began to spread, as if this entire place was about to collapse under the pressure of the nascent power.
Ding!
[Congratulations. The Beyonder with Serial Number 120,000 has been promoted to a 1-star Dou Ling]
A system notification appeared, but El ignored it. With his eyes closed, he remained focused on absorbing the surrounding energy, feeling something different than usual.
As he had expected, the next major change began to take place.
As the two thorns of each Dou Qi Crystal within him began to shrink, signaling a shocking transition process.
The energy in his body seemed to be getting crazier, Dou Qi exploding out, flooding the cave with an unstoppable wave of power.
The walls of the cave churned more violently than before, small rocks began to collapse, accompanied by cracking sounds that could be heard in various corners, increasingly spreading like a spider web.
Under the tremendous pressure, this place seemed to be completely collapsing under the pressure El had unintentionally created.
Even a pillar of energy was created, redeeming the ceiling of this cave until it collapsed into the outer sky.
Ding!
[Congratulations. The Beyonder with Serial Number 120,000 has been promoted to a 2-star Dou Ling]
Ding!
[Congratulations. The Beyonder with Serial Number 120,000 has been promoted to a 3-star Dou Ling]
Then, 2 system notifications appeared again in front of El. With the appearance of the notifications this time, El opened his eyelids that emitted the intensity of Samsara, looking at the Status information slowly.

Looking at the screen information, El smiled with satisfaction at his achievement before finally closing the holographic screen floating in front of him.
This was the final result of the Attribute Status after he had distributed all the Attribute Points he had. Previously, El had added 34 Points to VIT and 61 Points to INT.
That was the reason why the energy that exploded during the realm ascension was so incredibly abundant, as if unstoppable.
Wasting no time, El closed his eyes, focusing his mind into Dantian.
Inside, El found nine Dou Qi Crystals, each of which now had seven long spines, resembling hedgehogs filled with wild energy.
"So this is it... the normal Dou Ling grade measurement method?" murmured El, recalling the information scattered across various webs on the internet.
In the Dou Ling system, the Dou Qi Crystal inside a practitioner's body originally has nine long spines, resembling an energy-filled sea urchin.
Every time strength increases by one small realm, one of the energy spines will shrink, slowly being reabsorbed into the Dou Qi Crystal.
To truly reach the Dou Wang class, a practitioner must absorb all nine energy thorns completely, uniting them with the Dou Qi Crystal as well as their body, reaching a level of perfect harmony in cultivation.
"Now it's time to check on the next thing," El said, standing up and stepping down from the Lotus Platform.
With a single wave of his hand, he deposited the Lotus Platform into the Sky Pearl Poison, dissipating it as if it had never existed.
Then, with a flick of the right finger, a pair of wings appeared from his back as if made of illusion, reddish-purple in color like the stars in the sky.
This was proof that El had understood the essence of Samara further, through what the Mystic Eye of Death Perception saw.
Each tiny flutter produced shimmering beads of light, falling like nebula dust dancing in the air.
El smiled faintly, then readied himself. With one powerful flap, he shot out of the cave with incredible speed, leaving a trail of reddish-purple light behind him.
Being able to create Dou Wing and fly was one of the abilities of Dou Ling realm practitioners.
As is known, Dou Ling Practitioners can condense Dou Qi into a physical object, allowing short-distance flight at high speed, though it cannot be compared to Dou Wang.
However, since El was a Beyonder, he had a unique advantage, the ability to distribute Attribute Values at will.
For example, by increasing INT, the capacity and quality of his Dou Qi became much greater compared to an ordinary Dou Ling, now not inferior to even Dou Zong.
Furthermore, his agility was also at a different level. This was the result of the Nanaya Clan Demon Slaying Technique, as well as the Demon Slaying Technique of the Kimetsu no Yaiba World, which drastically strengthened her reaction and movement speed.
Once out of the cave, El immediately shot high into the sky.
Suddenly, both of his eyeballs underwent a transformation, turning a deep purple with fine ripples like the surface of water, six tomoe revolved around the center of his eyes, Rinnegan had been activated.
"Shinra Tensei."
As soon as the word was spoken, a wave of tremendous repulsion power exploded from his body, creating a tremendous pressure in the air.
In an instant, his speed increased dozens of times, making him shoot out like a flash of light.
Several sonic booms were created, proof that El's speed had reached March.
In just a few seconds, El had circled the entire Medicine Valley multiple times, leaving a trail of vibrating wind in its wake.
Before long, El landed near a simple hut, the temporary home he used to live in with Xiao Yi Xian.
"Only spent about 5% of the Dou Qi in the body, huh?" muttered El, removing the Dou Qi wings on the back.
Then, El gazed at the simple building before him, a feeling of longing enveloping El's mind.
Memories of the girl flashed through his mind, making him mutter softly, "Did she eat properly? Are the clothes she's wearing warm enough?"
El sighed a few times, trying to calm herself down. "I should focus on improving my strength first. That comes first."
With a more stern look, he took out the Beads of Ascension from Sky Pearl Poison, then whispered, "Earlier, I had time to find out more about this thing from the System."
"Apparently, this thing can also combine one of the Skills from the Special Skill, as long as it is still similar," El muttered with a serious look.
With full focus, he closed his eyes, grasped the Beads of Ascension and began to combine several Skills that had been decided.
In the palm of his hand, a marble-sized crystal ball began to glow, emitting colorful light that pulsed softly, as if it had a consciousness of its own.
In the next second, various system notifications popped up in front of him.
