"You have just returned from a long journey. Go and rest in the Ancient Absolute Saber Formation and give it a try," Liu Ruyue suggested.
Xiao Chen thought about it and agreed. This strengthened version of the Ancient Absolute Saber Formation would definitely have an additional risk compared to the previous one. He was not fully prepared for it yet.
It would be good to rest for a day before giving it a try. Xiao Chen took his leave and headed to his courtyard.
The courtyard was very clean and tidy. The fallen leaves were swept to the side. The stone table was also spotless. It was clear that during the time Xiao Chen was away, someone came to clean the courtyard frequently.
Xiao Chen sat at the stone table absent-mindedly. When he walked out of the dueling grounds, he felt that his mind had not calmed down.
Earlier, he had only forcefully suppressed his emotions in front of Liu Ruyue. Now, he could no longer hold it in and let it all erupt.
He had never been in such a state before. If it was in the past, he would definitely use the time before the sky turned dark and not waste it at all on cultivation.
He would definitely not be like this now, sitting in the courtyard and letting his thoughts run wild.
Actually, ever since the last time Liu Ruyue was injured and her mind was in a mess, Xiao Chen already had a vague feeling that Liu Ruyue had unknowingly taken up a very important position in his heart.
When did this feeling start? Xiao Chen himself was not clear. Perhaps it started when Liu Ruyue blocked Song Que's attack for him.
Actually, he had already unknowingly fallen into that kiss. After that, he unknowingly fell even deeper. However, he was engrossed in cultivation and neglected it. Or perhaps it could be said that he purposely ignored the truest feelings in his heart.
Only when Liu Ruyue was injured did it erupt with such intensity. Her pain was like hitting him, causing him to be unable to calm down.
Night slowly descended. There was no moon tonight, only a sky full of stars, flickering with starlight. Xiao Chen sat alone in the courtyard for a long time.
Liu Ruyue's kiss during the day disturbed Xiao Chen's mind once again. It was even more intense than when Liu Ruyue was injured.
This was an uncontrollable longing. At this moment, Xiao Chen's mind was filled with Liu Ruyue's figure. That calm kiss seemed to linger on his lips.
Xiao Chen did his best to calm his thoughts. He looked at the starlight filling the sky and took a deep breath. He leaped into the air and flew over the wall, heading for Liu Ruyue's independent courtyard.
Xiao Chen moved like a flood dragon. His speed was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he stopped on a big tree outside Liu Ruyue's courtyard.
A series of soft shouts came from the courtyard. Xiao Chen's eyes were like lightning. With the help of the weak starlight, he could clearly see the situation in the courtyard.
It was already late at night, but Liu Ruyue did not feel sleepy. She was focused on practicing a set of Saber Techniques. A strong wind blew in the courtyard, kicking up countless fallen leaves. Sharp saber Qi spread out in all directions.
However, with Xiao Chen's eyes, he could tell that Liu Ruyue's mental state was somewhat unstable. As a result, her Saber Techniques were full of openings. If she fought an enemy like this, there would be serious consequences.
Xiao Chen watched quietly as Liu Ruyue practiced her Saber Techniques in the courtyard. He revealed a faint smile on his face and slowly calmed down.
After an hour, Xiao Chen quietly descended from the tree and headed for his courtyard.
Xiao Chen already had an answer to the hazy feelings in his heart. However, he did not have any confidence in how to proceed. Perhaps it was better this way.
"Weng!
Weng! "Just at this moment, the Spirit Blood Jade in front of his chest suddenly trembled. Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. He said in surprise," What happened to Bai? Why is the Spirit Blood Cloud pulsating so intensely? "
The warning from the Spirit Blood Jade startled Xiao Chen. The Spirit Blood Jade was the link between Xiao Chen and Bai. It would only give a warning when one of them was in grave danger.
Xiao Chen activated the Windwalk Shoes and raised his speed to the limit. Then, he rushed in the direction that he sensed. After a while, Xiao Chen had already left the range of Qingyun Peak. However, the place that he sensed was still some distance away.
Xiao Chen stopped in a lush forest. Xiao Chen was no stranger to this forest. Normally, when Xiao Chen practiced or tested out new Martial Techniques, he would choose this place.
Because this place was very desolate and Qingyun Peak had very few people, no matter how big of a commotion he made, no one would discover him.
Since Bai came here, she was definitely not ambushed. Xiao Chen slowly calmed down. However, the Spirit Blood Jade pulsated even more intensely.
What happened this time? Xiao Chen frowned. He could not figure it out. Could it be that I killed myself? "Boom!
Boom! "
A huge energy fluctuation spread out. Xiao Chen's speed increased again. Occasionally, there would be flashes of light in the dark forest.
The light caused the forest to flicker between bright and dark. A horrifying energy fluctuation spread out in the air. A strong wind blew, causing the trees to sway left and right.
Countless leaves flew around and dust filled the air. Xiao Chen gathered his Essence in front of him and the falling leaves and dust exploded into powder.
There seemed to be a storm in the middle of the forest. It kicked up a strong wind and gave off a shocking energy fluctuation.
"What exactly is going on? This energy fluctuation has already reached the boundary of a Rank 7 Spirit Beast. Furthermore, it is still increasing."
Xiao Chen thought to himself. No matter what, he had to hurry over to understand something. "Sou! Sou!
Sou! "
Xiao Chen pierced through the forest like an arrow. He could not be bothered to avoid some of the trees blocking his way. He simply punched them to pieces. Xiao Chen used brute force to carve a path through the dense forest.
The Spirit Blood Jade in front of Xiao Chen's chest started to give off a bright scarlet light. He felt a warm sensation on his chest; it was frighteningly hot.
"Hu chi!
Hu chi! "After a while, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the center of the storm. Bai's entire body was snow-white. At this moment, her entire body was flickering with a jade-like luster.
There was a weak figure reflected in her body. That figure was struggling non-stop, as though it was enduring some kind of immense pain.
Under the illumination of the starlight, she gave off a different kind of brilliance; she was very beautiful. Energy ripples danced in the air around her, looking like crystalline ribbons.
As the ribbons danced, a gust of wind surged out, forming a ferocious whirlwind that spread through the forest.
When Xiao Chen saw all this, he was completely stunned. He said in disbelief, "This is shapeshifting! Could it be that when she sneaked out at night in the past, she was trying to shapeshift? This is too dangerous. "
Bai's cultivation realm was not high enough. Normally, shapeshifting Spirit Beasts would only attempt it after they reached Rank 8.
A Rank 8 Spirit Beast was equivalent to a human Martial Monarch. Furthermore, the success rate was only about fifty percent. Normally, only those that had gained intelligence would choose to shapeshift.
To Spirit Beasts, shapeshifting was a great opportunity. However, this opportunity was accompanied by boundless danger.
"What an idiot! She is too reckless. If I had known this would happen, I would not have passed the Mysterious Nine Heavenly Revolution Transformation to her." Xiao Chen said somewhat vexedly. If not for the Mysterious Nine Heavenly Revolution Transformation, Bai would not have risked her life to try.
Unfortunately, it was already at a crucial moment. It was too late to stop it. That would only cause the shapeshifting to fail and turn Bai to dust.
"Boom!
Boom! Boom! "As Xiao Chen was thinking, resplendent pillars of light came from Bai's body. The horrifying energy ripples swept over, turning the surrounding trees into dust.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen sent out a palm strike and shattered the energy ripples flying at him. However, just as he shattered one, a few more flickering pillars of light surged over with a surging torrent.
The attack of a peak Rank 7 Demonic Beast was simply too strong. Xiao Chen had no choice but to retreat a few hundred meters. Then, he soared into the air and landed on the top of a tree.
Unexpectedly, the shapeshifting of a Spirit Beast would attract such intense energy fluctuations. Furthermore, Bai was only a Rank 6 Spirit Beast. If it was a true Rank 8 Spirit Beast that shapeshifted, how horrifying would the energy be?
Xiao Chen stared at Bai, who was in the pillar of light. His heart filled with worry. With such strong energy, if he was not careful, he would be crushed to death.
The resplendent pillar of light soared into the sky and shone for a long time. The surrounding Spiritual Energy flew towards Bai like rain.
In the end, the Spiritual Energy became too dense. Countless specks of starlight floated in the air. These specks of starlight were all made of Spiritual Energy.
The densely packed specks of starlight sparkled in the dark night like gorgeous stars.
The tiny human figure in Bai's jade-like skin slowly became clearer as Spiritual Energy poured in.
Now, it only lacked the final step: accepting the baptism of heaven and earth before it could truly shapeshift.
The so-called baptism of heaven and earth was, to put it bluntly, a punishment from the Heavenly Daos. This step was also the most dangerous one.
Spirit Beasts and humans were completely unrelated species created by the Heavenly Daos. Regardless of whether a human wanted to become a Spirit Beast or a Spirit Beast wanted to become a human, it was a huge challenge to the Heavenly Daos.
If he could survive the fight against the Heavenly Dao, not only would he be able to transform successfully, Moreover, he could even steal a trace of the Heavenly Dao and obtain Karmic Luck, allowing him to have unlimited potential in the future.
Xiao Chen looked up and saw the boundless clouds churning in the sky. Thunder rumbled. The baptism of the Heavenly Daos was already brewing.
The beautiful human figure in Bai's body seemed to sense the might of the Heavenly Daos. She sat down cross-legged and silently circulated the Mysterious Nine Heavenly Revolution Transformation Technique.
A thin golden halo appeared around Bai's body, giving her jade-like body a dignified and sacred feeling.
Xiao Chen frowned heavily as he looked at the increasingly horrifying electric might and pressure accumulating. His heart slowly leaped to his throat; he felt incredibly nervous.
"Boom!"
The continuously accumulating lightning might finally reached a critical point. Then, it exploded. A silver snake tore through the sky, heading straight for Bai.
When the berserk lightning struck the golden halo, it gave off a loud sound. Countless specks of dust flew up from the surrounding ground and filled the air in an instant, completely obscuring Xiao Chen's vision.
The ground started to tremble. The tree that Xiao Chen was on shook violently.
