Chapter 275: Chapter 212: Departure, Immortal Fu’s Fury! Half-Dream’s Heartache!
The massive vortex of spiritual qi in the sky converged, channeling immense spiritual power continuously into Su Changqing’s body.
This exaggerated rate of cultivation made his aura visibly stronger.
However, as soon as the first dantian aperture was filled with multicolored spiritual power, Su Changqing opened his eyes.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to cultivate, but the surrounding spiritual qi... was almost entirely depleted.
"Is the spiritual qi running out?"
Resting her chin on her hands and constantly watching Su Changqing, Xian Banmeng was the first to notice his situation.
Without hesitation, she waved her hand, covering the entire pavilion floor with a large number of top-grade spirit stones.
She looked at Su Changqing and softly smiled, "Continue cultivating. If these aren’t enough, I’ll take you to the Immortal Spirit Secret Realm."
"That won’t do."
Upon hearing this, Su Changqing waved his hand, saying, "I can’t accept without effort."
"Being able to cultivate in the Immortal Spirit Sect’s rich spiritual environment is already a blessing. How can I let you waste more spirit stones?"
Xian Banmeng chuckled and shook her head upon hearing his words.
What others seek desperately, Su Changqing outright refused.
This seemed foolish, but this kind of ’foolishness,’ like a resplendent stone, naturally drew her nearer.
"I’ve comprehended the Spirit-Devouring Technique. There is no rush for future cultivation; let’s first improve your calligraphy."
Su Changqing stood up and picked up the sheet of poetry again.
"Oh, come on, cultivation needs balance; rest for a while before practicing again."
Saying this, Xian Banmeng tugged on Su Changqing’s sleeve, laughing as she led him outside,
"Come with me quickly, I’ll show you around the Immortal Spirit Realm. It’s really beautiful here..."
Although Xian Banmeng greatly enjoyed calligraphy, she found herself wanting to talk about other things when with Su Changqing.
"Forget it, it would be good to see the world."
Su Changqing initially intended to decline, but seeing Xian Banmeng’s cheerful face, he finally went along with her.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
During this time, besides teaching Xian Banmeng calligraphy, Su Changqing also cultivated daily.
Thanks to the dense spiritual qi of the Immortal Spirit Sect, he could maintain a rate of filling one aperture per day.
However, this pace was still too slow; to break through to the peak of the divine realm, it would take at least a year.
Yet, Su Changqing was not in a hurry, planning to ponder solutions once back at the Little Immortal Sect.
However, while Su Changqing’s indifference was a necessity, Xian Banmeng was truly having fun.
As Su Changqing put it, she had no aspirations, spending her days dragging him around the Immortal Spirit Sect, touring the mountains and rivers.
So much so, that her ’intention’ state, which was just a step away from breakthrough, remained stagnant.
"Relax, I’m just looking for a stronger mentality to break through, which might take some time."
"As you said, only by following one’s heart. Right now, I just want to play..."
Xian Banmeng’s bell-like laughter occasionally rang throughout the Immortal Spirit Realm.
This left the disciples of the Immortal Spirit Sect dumbfounded, thinking they were mistaken.
They had never seen the young sect master so happy throughout their years at the Immortal Spirit Sect.
"Damn it!"
Watching the brightly smiling Xian Banmeng from afar, Xian Yuchen’s eyes were filled with jealousy and rage, slamming his fist hard into the rock before him.
"Junior Brother Yuchen, allow me to teach that guy a lesson!"
"He’s too arrogant! In the Immortal Spirit Sect, everyone knows the young sect master is the most suited for you!"
Seeing the fury on Xian Yuchen’s face, ’Song Yi’ hurriedly spoke up, sounding somewhat obsequious.
Song Yi’s cultivation was just entering the Divine Aspect Realm, far stronger than Xian Yuchen.
Yet even so, he remained respectful in Xian Yuchen’s presence.
He had no choice, being an outsider who entered the Sect through assessments, facing a vast disparity in status compared to disciples bearing the ’Xian’ surname.
"Fool!"
"Do you want to kill me?"
Xian Yuchen glared coldly at Song Yi, speaking chillingly, "Without the Sect Leader’s permission, do you think that guy could approach Banmeng?"
"That guy... is someone even the Sect Leader values!"
"Touch him now, and it’s not just you who will die; even I’ll face heavy punishment."
Xian Yuchen wasn’t a fool. Even within the Immortal Spirit Sect, where he had a thousand ways to kill Su Changqing, he dared not act recklessly.
"You are right, Junior Brother. I was careless." Replied Song Yi, quickly nodding and admitting his mistake.
Moments later, staring into the distance at Su Changqing, he couldn’t help but say, "Junior Brother, aren’t you going to fight for it? Letting an outsider have it so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Xian Yuchen’s face shifted with conflicting emotions.
But with myriad thoughts racing in his mind, he found no way to deal with Su Changqing.
"Hmph!"
In the end, he could only snort in anger, filled with killing intent as he glared at Su Changqing in the distance, muttering to himself,
"Don’t let me catch a chance, or else..."
...
Time passed swiftly, as Su Changqing had already been residing at the Immortal Spirit Sect for over half a month.
Meanwhile, the Liu family, which had sealed its gates for a long time, finally released news.
Liu Tianming, the patriarch of the Liu family, had led his entire clan to betray the Human Race, casting themselves into darkness and becoming creatures of the forbidden realm.
The many guests at the Liu family banquet, whether young prodigies or renowned experts, were all corrupted by darkness.
In the Northern Domain, Wu Jiuling, with the might of a peak quasi-emperor and wielding the Southern Domain Domain Master’s Emperor’s Weapon, beheaded Liu Tianming.
Following this, a terrifying creature known as the Forbidden Sovereign from the forbidden realm appeared, strongly countering Wu Jiuling’s peak quasi-emperor force.
The two sides clashed fiercely, battling out of the Liu family’s pocket dimension, and vanished without a trace.
As for the other numerous people who had been corrupted, they also vanished within the pocket dimension, their whereabouts unknown...
News spread across the continent, causing an uproar.
Various factions, including even the Demon Race, immediately fortified their defenses, preparing to face the emergence of the Dark Forbidden Area.
