Yu Yan formed a hand seal with one hand, protecting Zhu Yao's divine sense. With a sunken voice, he said. "There's too much spiritual energy in your body. You have to make preparations to form your Azoth Core at any time."
"…"
Azoth Core. She was only at the early stages of Foundation. Was there a need to forcefully level up like this!? The surrounding thunder rumbled even louder. That sword that was even taller than a mountain, in an instant, was filled with lightning sparks, as though it carried the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
The lightning spiritual energy in the air grew even denser, giving off a suffocating feeling.
"Calm your mind and focus on forming your Azoth Core." Yu Yan placed down a few formations to stabilize spiritual energy, and then sat next to her. Behind him, an illusory figure of a white dragon appeared, coiling around the two of them, helping her repair her damaged meridians.
The lightning spiritual energy in Zhu Yao's body was very unstable, as though it was about to break out of her body. Her current avatar was a Wood Spirit Vein holder. If she wanted to absorb these rampaging spiritual energy to form her Azoth Core, she had to first convert the lightning spiritual energy into wood spiritual energy, before guiding it into her Dantian.
However, because the lightning spiritual energy entered her body so suddenly, her conversion speed was far from being able to catch up with the rampaging spiritual energy in her body. The moment she converted the wood spiritual energy, before she could even guide it into her Dantian, it was first dispersed by the other lightning spiritual energy. She could feel the meridians in her entire body were filled with lightning spiritual energy, as though they were about to explode. The blood at the corner of her lips was flowing out uncontrollably.
The hell, what kind of grudge did these lightning spiritual energy have with her? Why were they always so uncooperative?
If this continued, even if her master was helping her from the side, her meridians would still be completely destroyed by the lightning spiritual energy that entered her body.
Zhu Yao gritted her teeth. In for a penny, in for a pound. She could not be bothered with converting anymore, and immediately guided the lightning spiritual energy into her Dantian.
In an instant, a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout her entire body, and Zhu Yao's entire body began to tremble.
"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan sensed her sudden actions as well. Just as he was about to stop her, he suddenly blanked. "How could this be?"
The rampaging lightning spiritual energy had stopped!
From the moment the lightning spiritual energy entered her Dantian, the spiritual energy that had been charging into her meridians suddenly calmed down. As though it had received some sort of order, it began to flow smoothly into her Dantian.
Yu Yan frowned, and did not stop her. Instead, he retracted his cultivation clone, and began to seriously observe his disciple's transformation.
Although her meridians were fine, her Dantian was about to explode. An unfamiliar spiritual aura invaded her body. She was in so much pain that she could no longer feel anything. She could only guide it mechanically. Her originally smooth and gentle dantian began to slowly become restless and hot. It was somewhat similar to when she had the Lightning Spirit Root in the past.
No wonder Spirit Roots could be modified.
Zhu Yao suddenly had this thought? With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, he sped up the absorption of spiritual energy. Enduring the heart-wrenching pain, he tried to use the lightning spiritual energy inside. Unexpectedly, there was really a reaction. The spiritual energy that entered her Dantian obediently circulated according to her thoughts.
She directly wrapped the spiritual energy around her entire Dantian and slowly transformed it into a familiar shape. Then, he guided out the remaining spiritual energy and wrapped it around his meridians, forcefully expanding and absorbing it.
In the beginning, the damage to her meridians was even more severe. Gradually, the lightning spiritual energy that wrapped around her meridians began to automatically repair all the meridians in her body. When all the spiritual energy in her dantian was used up, her meridians were already brand new, and the lightning spiritual energy that made her feel oppressed just now was powerless and friendly.
Yu Yan immediately dispelled the surrounding formation.
In an instant, a large amount of lightning spiritual energy, as though they had finally received an order, crazily poured into Zhu Yao's body. Not even a moment later, her initially empty Dantian was once again filled up. This time, when the lightning spiritual energy entered her body, there was no longer that heart-wrenching pain earlier. Instead, there was a comfortable feeling.
However, as the amount of spiritual energy increased, a swollen feeling rose. She was very familiar with this feeling. It was the barrier of a breakthrough in her cultivation. She did not stop either, as she continued to guide the spiritual energy into her body. A few minutes later, she could faintly hear the sound of something bursting out of the ground.
Her meridians instantly expanded to twice their original size, and her cultivation was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye as well. From the second level of Foundation, to the third level, fourth level, fifth level … all the way to the Paragon level. That barrier had become even more obvious. The spiritual energy in her body was so full that it looked as though it was about to overflow. Finally, it was time for her to form her Azoth Core. Forming her Azoth Core once again was very simple to Zhu Yao. Following the method in her memory, she began to rotate and compress spiritual energy in the same direction.
She only used six hours, and her Azoth Core was formed. Her cultivation, however, did not stop rising. First level of Azoth Core, second level, third level, fifth level … Only after reaching the Azoth Core Paragon did it stop.
Zhu Yao took a deep breath, stopped guiding spiritual energy into her body, and then opened her eyes.
"Master."
"Mn." Yu Yan responded. Pulling his disciple's hand, he checked her pulse, and then sent a strand of spiritual energy into her body. Only after realizing that she was completely fine, did he heave a sigh of relief.
"Mistress." Sesame pounced over as well, and with a face full of snot and tears, it rubbed against her body. "Great, you're fine. I was so worried about this beastie."
Zhu Yao pressed her palm towards its face that was about to come over, and pushed it back. "Go away!"
"Uuuuuuu … Mistress, how can you be so heartless?" It said with a wronged look.
"Scram. Find your four-legged beastie." This old lady only likes her master who has two legs.
"…"
"Master, my Spirit Vein …" She recalled the changes in her body.
Yu Yan nodded. "You currently possess the Lightning Spirit Vein."
The hell, she really made the right bet. "Master, can Spirit Veins be changed?"
"Originally, it couldn't." Yu Yan frowned. Spirit Veins were all innate. Although there were some heavenly treasures that could wash away one of the Spirit Veins, he had never heard of anyone being able to create a desired Spirit Vein out of thin air. "Most probably, it was because you were familiar with the Lightning Spirit Vein in the past, which allowed you to succeed by luck. Others might not be able to do it. "His own disciple seemed to always be able to discover things that others were unaware of. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Zhu Yao pondered for a moment. Indeed, earlier, she had been guiding the lightning spiritual energy to modify her meridians and Dantian according to her memories. If what she attracted today was not lightning spiritual energy, most likely, she would have died a long time ago.
Yu Yan even asked about the current situation. Zhu Yao told him about the incident where she encountered the Risefire Beast and fell into this ruin, as well as her encounter with Sesame.
The two of them were talking seriously, and neither of them had noticed that the mountain-like sword behind them suddenly stopped its thunderous roars. It slowly rose up, and suddenly, its blade swept horizontally, flying towards their direction.
"Yu Yao!"
Yu Yan's heart clenched. Hugging onto his disciple, he was just about to dodge, but he was a step too late. In a blink of an eye, that sword turned into a ray of white light, and immediately flew over, entering Yu Yan's glabella. Zhu Yao simply saw an afterimage in the air.
"Master!" Zhu Yao's heart clenched, as she pulled onto her master. She felt as though her heart was about to jump out.
"Master, master …" She once again felt that sense of panic. She knew how it felt when little wimp died, as though the sky had collapsed.
Please, please be alright!
Yu Yan slowly lowered his head, his face carried a hint of confusion. "Yu Yao …"
"How are you? Does it hurt anywhere? "She anxiously sized him up, and the only thing left was to remove his clothes to check if he was injured.
"I'm fine."
How could he be fine? She clearly saw that sword turn into a ray of light, and directly pass through his body.
"Yu Yao …" He stroked his disciple's head. After pondering for a moment, he immediately pulled her into his embrace. He was a little surprised that his disciple, who had never been afraid of death, was actually trembling. "Believe in your master, I'm fine."
"…" Only then did Zhu Yao calm down, and her rationality began to return. "Then earlier …"
She turned to look. The gigantic sword that was still floating in the air earlier, had now disappeared. Even the dense lightning spiritual energy in the air had disappeared without a trace.
Yu Yan frowned, and looked at his own palm a little blankly. A moment later, he spoke up with a hint of doubt. "Yu Yao, your master's cultivation, seems to have suddenly recovered."
"Ah?" What did he mean?
"I recovered my original cultivation."
"Then you're now?"
"Demigod."
"…" That's too fast, isn't it!?
"Not only that." Yu Yan reached out a hand, and opened his palm in front of her. With a flash of white light, a small sword filled with lightning sparks suddenly appeared in his palm.
Zhu Yao's eyes fiercely widened. "This is …" Wasn't this that mountain-like sword from earlier? Why was it here? And it had even turned into such a miniature one, even the 'bug' word on the sword had disappeared.
"I'm not sure of the reason either." Yu Yan frowned, and explained. "Earlier, this object directly flew into my divine sense, and merged with it."
"Merged with my divine sense, then isn't that …"
Yu Yan nodded. "It has become my Life Artifact."
"…" Wasn't it said that Life Artifacts had to be nurtured in the divine sense at the Azoth stage? Master, is it really alright for you to suddenly nurture an unfamiliar sword in there? Will you get indigestion, hey?
"My Spirit Vein has changed as well."
Eh?
"I've recovered my original Lightning Spirit Vein."
"Ah? Just like that earlier? "
"Mn." Nodded.
"…" Flips table. Why was it so painful when she changed her Spirit Vein? Not only did her master's cultivation recover, he was even fine.
Zhu Yao was filled with malice.
— — — —
Zhu Yao felt that it was time for her to head back and rest. However, when she recalled that her master's cultivation had already recovered, and Sesame had returned as well. With two more weapons of mass destruction by their side, no matter how powerful the Beast Lord was, they could still win by outnumbering him. Ah no, it was two against one.
She suddenly had the urge to look for trouble in the demonic beast realm, what should she do? | `O ′ |
"Yu Yao, I can't go back with you."
"Why?" Zhu Yao was startled. Her disciple even needed to bully others with her strength!
Yu Yan sighed, and stroked his stupid disciple's head. "That sword has recovered master's cultivation."
"I know!" Didn't you say it before? "Isn't that even better?"
Yu Yan shook his head, looking as though he was disappointed with his disciple's intelligence. He reached out his hand to hug his disciple, planning to demonstrate it personally.
In a flash, the two of them had already left the underground ruins, and returned to that forest.
Zhu Yao had yet to react, just what did he mean by that.
The entire sky suddenly darkened, and layers of tribulation clouds instantly filled the entire sky.
"This is …"
"Ascension Lightning Tribulation."
"Ah?" Why the hell was there this?
"Yu … Yao, I've recovered my cultivation."
"I know, you've already said it three times …" Wait a minute, it couldn't be. "You've recovered the cultivation of a High Deity!?"
"The laws of the Heavenly Dao suppressed my cultivation, so I'm currently a Demigod. However, I'm a High Deity after all. Back then, that mustard seed dimensional space had an ancient formation that evaded the laws, so I wasn't detected. If I were to come out …"
He raised his head to look at the sky.
Zhu Yao followed his gaze and looked at the clouds as well, only to see the sky instantly turning snow-white, and a bolt of tribulation lightning flashed across the horizon.
Yu Yan released her. "Being forced by the Heavenly Dao, master has to ascend to the Higher Realm."
As expected, the nine heavenly lightning bolts descended straight in Yu Yan's direction, bringing along a pressure that filled the entire sky. Boom …
They struck Zhu Yao's body!
Zhu Yao: "…"
Yu Yan: "…"
In an instant, Zhu Yao, who was struck into charcoal, puffed out a mouthful of black smoke.
"Master, can I discuss something with you?"
"… Mn."
"Next time, when there's lightning, don't pull me over to watch, alright?"
"…"
Will you die if you don't screw your disciple over!!
— —
In order to not ascend, her master had no choice but to stay in the mustard seed dimensional space which originally held the God's artifact. Zhu Yao had initially thought that after her master had recovered his cultivation, she would be able to do whatever she wanted. She never expected that it would be completely useless.
The setting of having to ascend as soon as he came out was simply too torturous, alright? If he had known earlier, he would have been better off with a Jindan!
In the end, she still had to farm the bug herself.
His heart felt stifled …
"Mistress, someone's here." Sesame nudged Zhu Yao.
Oh, yes, she also has a beast.
"No, we have to find her." A familiar voice came from afar.
Three men and two women walked over from not too far away. It was Yi Ling's group. However, other than the four people she recognized, there was also an unfamiliar man. He was also in the Aurous Core Realm, and he had a handsome appearance. Between his brows, there was even some dignity of a person in a high position. At this moment, he was looking at Yi Ling affectionately.
Did the number of people in the harem increase again?
Sure enough, he was tall, rich, and handsome, an iron Mary Sue.
They seemed to be arguing about something.
"Junior-martial sister Lin Xiang." Qi Ping took a step forward and said to Lin Xiang. "It's not that we don't want to find her, but we have already searched for two days, yet, we still haven't seen her figure. Furthermore, the terrain of this labyrinth is complicated, and filled with traps. Continuing to search is just a waste of time."
"That's right, senior-martial sister Lin." Yi Ling gently said. "I'm very anxious about senior-martial sister Zhu's disappearance as well, but … senior-martial brother Qi's injuries have yet to fully recover as well. How can you only care about your own selfish desires?"
"Selfish desires?" Lin Xiang was angered to the point of laughing. "Yi Ling, are you blind? If she hadn't lured that demonic beast away, would you guys still be standing here perfectly fine? Now that she's gone, you guys aren't even willing to look for her … "
"Senior-martial sister Lin …" Yi Ling's eyes reddened, and she looked as though she was about to cry from being wronged. "That's not what I meant. It's just that we've been searching for so long … Furthermore, if she had told us earlier that it was a sixth-ranked demonic beast, we wouldn't have …"
"What did you say?" Lin Xiang was instantly enraged. "She didn't tell you? You're the one who didn't believe her at all. Furthermore, she saved you, and saved all of us, yet you're still saying such words. Do you even have a conscience? "
"Senior-martial sister Lin …" Yi Ling's tears began to fall.
The three men present instantly had pained expressions. "Enough, junior-martial sister Lin. This isn't Ling 'er's fault anyway. "Lan Qi glared at Lin Xiang a little furiously.
Lin Xiang glanced at the three of them, and coldly snorted. "If you guys aren't going to look for her, I'll look for her myself!"
So it was to look for her!
Zhu Yao gave Lin Xiang girly a thumbs up. She sure had the spirit of brotherhood! It seemed like in this world, Mary Sue weren't the only idiots. There were still people with normal values.
She felt a little gratified. Just as she was about to step forward, she suddenly heard Sesame who had been standing next to her muttering.
"In this world, there's actually such an otherworldly beauty."
Zhu Yao's feet turned.
