Not only had the immortal come, but he had also settled the matter with a few words and set a time limit to bring her away.
Shangguan Lingxiu did not doubt the statement that this world could not withstand the power of Ultimate Heaven and that four hours was the limit, but her emotions were in turmoil.
There was a high chance that she would be able to sever the worldly affairs of this world once and for all with this trip!
She did not know how many years it would be before she could return to this world.
Even if she could return to Tianxuan by then, it would be a different world; things would remain the same, but the people would be different!
Shangguan Lingxiu could not help but be at a loss as her thoughts raced.
It was too fast!
Too hasty!
There was no time to say goodbye and she had to leave immediately?
Shangguan Lingxiu was heartbroken as she ran out hurriedly. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she walked.
Four hours!
How could such a short amount of time be enough?
Her nephews were already on the battlefield of Ziyou, fighting for the country and avenging their family. It was destined that they would not be able to see each other.
However, there were still many people left.
Old Mistress Shangguan ordered immediately, "All members of the Shangguan Family, gather at the front hall!"
"All members of the Shangguan Family who are in the capital must return within two hours. No one is allowed to defy or delay!"
…
Shangguan Lingxiu's private yard.
Bai Yixue could vaguely feel the faint, unique aura coming from within, but it was just the slightest contact that made Bai Yixue shudder, as if he had fallen into an icy pit. Subconsciously, he pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and boosted his cultivation base to its peak, ready to strike at any time. It was obvious that his alertness had risen to its peak.
Supreme Cloud and Ji Lingxi were cultivating inside, intending to improve themselves. In addition, the backlash of their cultivation this time was the combined force of Yin and Yang. Both of them cultivating at the same time was of utmost importance and could not be disturbed by anyone or anything!
If they were disturbed by external forces, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yet, Bai Yixue could feel his heart trembling. Despite his vigilance, he could still feel the faint aura within. It was unimaginably strong. Compared to him, it was no longer a big tree, an ant, a giant dragon, or a drop in the ocean; it was the difference between a human and a starry sky. The gap between them was negligible; there was no room for comparison!
Fang Mofei, who was on the other side, was equally nervous, perhaps even more so than Bai Yixue.
Actually, Fang Mofei did not sense the unusual wave of energy in Shangguan Lingxiu's yard. His cultivation base was a few notches lower than Bai Yixue's, so he was not yet qualified to sense the unusual wave. His nervousness was mainly due to fear. Bai Yixue's reaction was too superficial, causing Fang Mofei to feel an odd sensation as well, causing him to be even more nervous than Bai Yixue.
Fang Mofei thought to himself, "Boss, oh boss, are you sure that Mr. Nian and the Four Seasons Tower's people have been chased away by you? We don't have the confidence to cultivate in such a grand manner. Look at how Bai Yixue is behaving now! I'm very scared to say it, okay? If there's really an attack from an enemy of their level, we won't be able to handle it even if we risk our lives! "
He was nervous.
Bai Yixue's eyes widened abruptly.
This was because he saw a woman in white suddenly appear not far away from him!
There was no sign!
She had appeared out of thin air.
It was an empty space in front of him; there were no blind spots, but the lady in front of him had materialized out of thin air as if she had appeared out of thin air. Furthermore, her appearance did not even cause the slightest ripple in the air.
She had just appeared casually, right in front of him.
Her clear eyes glanced at him softly.
Bai Yixue's hairs stood on end as he unsheathed his sword with a clang.
This was the most instinctive and subconscious movement of an ace cultivator. Almost at the same time, Bai Yixue wanted to ask, "Who are you?"
However, he was shocked to realize that he could not move at all.
The sword was still glinting coldly in his hand, but he could not move it at all. He could not even utter a word.
In spite of this, he could clearly feel that he had not been restrained, his acupoints had not been struck, and he had not been restrained by any special means.
Why had he suddenly turned into a wooden statue?
He wanted to call out to Fang Mofei to alert him, but he could not do so no matter how hard he tried. From the corner of his eyes, he could only see Fang Mofei at the edge of the roof, holding a long sword in his hand and clenching his teeth as he pounced down. Surprisingly, he was also immobilized!
That posture … looked like he was about to fall at any moment. However, he was in such an odd position, leaning forward at a forty-five-degree angle on the edge of the roof, sword in hand, gritting teeth with a murderous look on his face, as if he was about to strike three thousand miles away … he was frozen!
Then, the woman in white leisurely walked over and slowly moved forward.
Feeling the surging mystical Qi coming from the room, the lady in white chuckled softly.
"The affairs of the world are unpredictable, but fated encounters often occur. With this fated encounter, it's better not to leave you with this regret. I'll give you some compensation for interrupting your cultivation in order to eliminate a regret. "
She raised her hands lightly and drew a circle in the air, like she was drawing a circle, a circle that was not very neat.
As her hands rose and fell, a ball of purple Qi suddenly rose from the far east where the sun had risen.
In the next moment, it had traveled an immeasurable distance and arrived above the small courtyard. It then shrunk rapidly, turning into two glowing purple balls the size of corn grains, delicate and tiny.
"This is the purest congenital purple Qi. There are gains and losses, this is fate." The lady in white smiled faintly. With a flick of her fingers, the two little balls turned into two rays of light and shot into the room.
The two Amethyst Aurora Pearls shot out at high speed; one hit Yun Yang's dantian while the other hit Ji Lingxi's dantian. Then, they disappeared into both of their bodies.
Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi, who were in the midst of cultivation and oblivious to what was happening in the outside world, suddenly felt their dantian swell. In the next moment, with a soft boom, the spiritual Qi in their bodies surged at an unprecedented speed, almost uncontrollable.
Under normal circumstances, or rather, in most cultivation environments, interference was absolutely forbidden. When a cultivator was disturbed in the process of cultivation, it was already a blessing from the heavens if the cultivation was interrupted. It could easily lead to turbulence of Qi and blood, disorder of meridians, reverse flow of mystical Qi, severe damage to one's cultivation method, or even death due to the rampaging of spiritual energy!
What the lady in white had done, condensing the external force and sending it directly into Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi's bodies was something that should never be allowed to happen. The most direct and most likely scenario was for the two Amethyst Aurora Pearls to self-detonate at their dantian, blowing them up into pieces and leaving nothing behind. They might even be reduced to dust and vanish from the world!
In spite of this, the reality was …
Although both of their Qi meridians were fluctuating and showing signs of going berserk, their progress was unusually stable. They broke through a barrier like a hot knife through butter. Then, with another swell, they broke through again …
The process went on and within the span of a dozen breaths, both of them had broken through three levels consecutively. They did not even feel the slightest bit of discomfort during the process. The torment and pain that accompanied a breakthrough in their past cultivation were absent!
Up until now, the seven pieces of purple crystals on the ground had not even absorbed one-tenth of the total amount.
However, the cultivation process had been cut off automatically this time. Did this mean that the cultivation had been completed?
Wasn't this result a little too … unimaginable and unexpected?
Although Yun Yang had some expectations for the cultivation this time, he had initially thought that it would be enough for him and Ji Lingxi to break through a level with their combined Yin and Yang energy. Never would he have thought that the final result of the cultivation would be to break through three levels so smoothly!
The result was beyond his expectations and extremely rare!
When both of them woke up from their meditation, they saw the dumbfounded look on each other's faces.
