Upon immediate introspection, Chen Ye felt as if there was thunder roaring in his ears.
His heart was startled.
The golden light acquired from Bai Susu’s power was far more potent than he imagined!
No wonder she is the number one prodigy in Yan Kingdom!
In the black Spirit Sea, surging waves were raging.
The golden light grew increasingly intense, already transformed into a golden dragon, rampaging wildly through his meridians and Qi Sea.
This power was sharp and pure, yet it contained an extremely yin and gentle nurturing intention, quite peculiar.
"Such domineering primordial yin energy..."
Chen Ye clicked his tongue secretly.
The primordial yin of ordinary female cultivators was usually soothing and nourishing.
But Bai Susu lived up to her name, possessing not only a domineering primordial yin but also interwoven with her cultivated signature Sword Qi.
If Chen Ye were any weaker, he might not only fail to absorb it but end up with his meridians damaged by this Sword Qi.
"Life and Death Profound Light, operate!"
As he thought, the Life and Death Profound Light Sutra inside his body began to operate.
Life and death flow, encompassing all phenomena.
Under the wrapping of the Life and Death Spiritual Power, the originally sharp golden dragon quickly became tame.
Clang clang—
It was as if Chen Ye heard the sound of spiritual power rushing within his body.
His cultivation, originally stable at the Foundation Establishment Fourth-Layer, was still a good distance from breakthrough.
With disciplined cultivation, even relentlessly consuming Purple Sun Pill, it would take two years of hard work to reach Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.
But now.
Under the infusion of this vast primordial yin, cultivation skyrocketed!
After merely half a two-hour period, Chen Ye felt his Qi Sea was already filled to the brim, with the spiritual power coursing through his meridians now two-tenths more robust than before!
Chen Ye felt all the pores on his body relaxed.
"No wonder so many evil cultivators in the Cultivation Realm eagerly pursue this; it’s practically cheating..."
He could sense that the barrier to Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer was now as thin as a cicada’s wing.
With a gentle push, he could easily cross over.
But Chen Ye held back.
"The foundation is important."
"Although it’s a great supplement, it’s ultimately external power. Rushing for gains and forcing a breakthrough, it might bring momentary joy but could lead to a weak foundation."
"Need to carefully refine it, thoroughly turning this power into my own before pursuing the breakthrough."
Thinking of this.
Chen Ye calmed his mind, no longer pursuing the increase in spiritual power, but instead controlled the Life and Death Profound Light, repeatedly washing through his meridians.
Time passed bit by bit.
In the Quiet Chamber, the spiritual Qi formed a visible vortex, madly pouring into Chen Ye’s body.
A night of cultivation.
Chen Ye finally opened his eyes.
He exhaled a breath of impure air, the current shooting out like a sharp sword over three feet, leaving a shallow mark on the ground.
"Although I didn’t directly breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, I’m just short of a final push."
Now, though his realm remained at Foundation Establishment Fourth-Layer, the robustness of his spiritual power was likely comparable to that of an ordinary Sixth-Layer cultivator!
Coupled with his improved Blood Burning Shadow Evasion and various methods...
"If I encounter someone like Li Min now, even without the help of King Vine, I can fight across two tiers alone!"
For prodigies, defeating enemies across tiers is not difficult.
Take Bai Susu, for example, who can fight Foundation Establishment Late Period with Sixth-Layer.
And now,
Chen Ye has reached this realm!
Without relying on external items, he can cross realms and engage powerful enemies!
Barely enough to be a Chen prodigy! Chen Ye was self-satisfied.
"Next time I help her with healing, should I adopt a more efficient posture? After all... helping others brings joy, isn’t it?"
Chen Ye started scheming! Already pondering how to continue benefiting from her.
Just...
Things often turn out unexpectedly.
...
With a clear spirit, Chen Ye pushed open the door, planning to visit the Golden Furred Ball that was bullied badly yesterday in the west courtyard, and see if he could exchange some cultivation insights.
The best plan of the day lies in the morning.
Morning, naturally, requires good cultivation.
Of course.
Chen Ye’s main purpose was not this.
As a man, after such events, morally and rationally, he needed to visit Bai Susu.
But when he arrived at the west courtyard,
The courtyard gate was wide open, inside empty and silent.
"Hmm?"
Chen Ye’s heart jolted, quickly stepping inside.
The room was spotlessly clean, the snow-white fox fur on the agarwood soft couch folded neatly without a single crease... just slightly cropped.
The enchanting ambiance of yesterday seemed like a dream.
"Gone?"
Chen Ye frowned, his gaze landing on the desk.
A note was pressed there.
He picked up the note, the handwriting on it soaring and dancing:
"Chen Ye! The True Inheritor has urgent matters, must return to the sect! Return within three days, or face the consequences."
"——Bai Susu"
Escaped...
Chen Ye’s expression was complex, yesterday Bai Susu was still fierce, and after a night, she outright fled?
Though Bai Susu left in a hurry, her words were full of "threats."
But he could see, this girl was actually afraid of facing him.
After all, after such things happened, with her proud and face-saving nature, if she stayed, she’d probably not know where to put her hands and feet.
He smiled slightly, keeping the note:
"Fine, despite Bai Susu’s extraordinary talents and profound cultivation, she is still just a girl."
"Three days... there’s ample time."
Chen Ye turned and swept his gaze over the serene Lisong Valley.
Return to the sect within three days, then three days it is.
Chen Ye came to Peach Mountain District, primarily to complete the sect mission.
Now the mission is long completed, the days spent in Lisong Valley were merely to accompany Bai Susu for healing.
