"Little tyrant, have we entered the barrier?"
"Uh … Yes!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm … sure?"
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. The trial clearing squad finally dodged those strangely shaped beasts outside, and successfully entered the barrier. Then … they saw even more strangely shaped beasts.
Flips table. Why are there so many terrifying creatures!?
"Hohoho … What are you looking at me for, run." Zhu Yao threw the iPhone N in her hands away with a wave of her hand. She nimbly rode on her sword, pulled along the two youths whose spiritual energy had long been depleted, and began another round of escape. In her heart, she had long cursed the person who set up the barrier a few hundred times. People set up barriers, not to protect something, but to hide something. This barrier was great though. She finally entered with much difficulty, and realized that the inside and outside were the same. She really wanted to ask the person who set up the barrier if he was so bored that his balls hurt, or bored that his balls hurt, or bored that his balls hurt?
However, after madly flying for a few kilometers, Zhu Yao was no longer able to ponder such a profound question, because her balls hurt even if she did not have any balls. The spiritual energy in her body was already severely depleted. Not long later, she would not be able to hold on any longer.
At this moment, a floating mountain faintly appeared in front of her, and spiritual light was actually flashing on top of the mountain. Ever since she came to this world, the spiritual energy had been extremely thin. This floating mountain actually had spiritual light on top of it, it could be seen just how dense the spiritual energy was.
Zhu Yao did not ponder deeply, and immediately flew towards the floating mountain. The moment she landed, the dense spiritual energy in the surroundings surrounded her body, and even the fatigue on her body had dissipated quite a bit.
Just as she was about to find a place to hide and recover her spiritual energy, Little Bai suddenly pointed behind her, and said with a surprised look. "Grandma, look. The demonic beasts … "
She turned to look, only to see the large group of demonic beasts that were still chasing after them earlier suddenly stopped two to three kilometers away from the floating mountain. They no longer approached, and simply roared furiously towards the inside.
"What's wrong with them?" Zhu Yao carefully sensed her surroundings. "There aren't any formations blocking this spiritual mountain? Why don't they dare to approach? "
Little tyrant and Ye Qingcang exchanged glances as well.
"Perhaps, there's something on this mountain that they're afraid of?"
"… Forget it." Zhu Yao sat cross-legged. "This place is temporarily safe. Let's first recover our spiritual energy. This way, we'll be able to escape faster. "
The two youths nodded and sat down cross-legged.
"Pea ~" The pea rolled towards Zhu Yao, and suddenly let out a 'wuuu' sound. He spat out two bottles.
(⊙ ▽ ⊙)
Doraemon was giving out benefits again!
"What's this?" Zhu Yao picked up the bottle and shook it. Realizing that it was filled with liquid, she removed the cap. A fragrant aroma wafted out, instantly invigorating everyone's spirit. His spiritual power instantly recovered by 10%.
"Could it be the Spirit Spring Jade Nectar?" Ye Qingcang was surprised.
"You know this?"
Ye Qingcang said. "I have only heard about it from others. This is spring water condensed from spiritual energy. It's more than a hundred times denser than ordinary spiritual energy. "
"It's that mystical?" Zhu Yao stroked the pea. "You were sent by Ursa Major, right? Why do you have everything? "
"Pea!" The pea jumped and instantly jumped onto her lap.
"Also …" Student Ye continued. "This kind of spiritual water doesn't require one to absorb spiritual energy into one's body. Drinking it directly can instantly replenish one's spiritual energy."
It was so useful. Wasn't that like mana potions in games? And it was an instant replenishment. She had to give it a try!
"But …" Student Ye tried his best to recall. "I heard that the spiritual energy in this spiritual water is too strong. Usually, a single drop is equivalent to a Foundation practitioner, so I can't drink too much …"
Zhu Yao who had already drunk it: …
"Young man …" Zhu Yao pulled student Ye's collar. "Do you know that breathing too much will kill you?" I've already drunk an entire bottle, and you're telling me that I can only drink a single drop!
"I … I never expected granny to drink it so quickly either." His face was filled with shock and self-blame. "Granny … You've finished it?"
"What do you think!?" The hell! Do you think it's Oreos? You still have to lick and soak it first!
Puuu …
He puked out a mouthful of blood.
"Grandma!"
"Granny!"
Zhu Yao seemed to have instantly sensed the spiritual energy in her body surging wildly towards her Dantian. Zhu Yao did not have the time to argue with him. She immediately entered a meditative state and began to digest the spiritual energy in her body.
The two youths had no choice but to meditate at the side and began to guard her.
Though there was a lot of spiritual energy in Zhu Yao's body, it was not like before when she guided spiritual energy into her body. The spiritual energy was much gentler, and simply stayed obediently in her body, constantly charging into her meridians and Dantian. Just like a very orderly traffic jam, the only thing that was constantly shrinking was the distance between the cars. No one walked into the emergency passageway, nor did they take a detour.
Hence, though she felt that the expansion of her meridians was very uncomfortable, it was not like in the past, where her body was filled to the point of becoming a bloody mess. Instead, her cultivation began to rise in an organized, disciplined, and rhythmic manner. From the fifth level of Foundation, to the sixth level, to the seventh level … all the way to the Paragon of Foundation.
And, she had not even digested a tenth of the bottle of spiritual water she drank. She decided to directly form her Azoth Core, and converted all of the spiritual water in her body into spiritual energy in one go. Then, she began to condense her Azoth Core.
To a person who had formed her Azoth Core for the nth time, it was just like a university graduate returning to take a primary school exam. It was simply too easy, and her Azoth Core began to condense as well. However, the strange thing was that the transparent Spiritual Qi that had been staying in her body had also directly melted into the Golden Core. At first, she didn't feel anything unusual, but when the golden core took shape, she found that the golden core, which should have been colorful, had turned into a transparent glass ball.
Could it be that the effect of that strange spiritual energy was to dye?
Unfortunately, she no longer had the time to think about it. Because after the pill was formed, the spiritual energy in her body was still skyrocketing, all the way to Golden Core Paragon. Only eighty percent of the spiritual energy in the spring water had been used up.
So the question is? Should she continue to form her Nascent Soul? He died from the explosion of his spiritual energy.
But if she wanted to directly form her Nascent Soul, this little bit of Spiritual Aura was far from enough. Moreover, she had just formed her Gold Core. If she directly broke her Gold Core to form her Nascent Soul and drew the Spiritual Aura into her body again … His weak meridians couldn't withstand it, so he couldn't succeed at all.
Unable to advance or retreat, was this the price of being a foodie? She would rather be three kilograms heavier.
The spiritual energy was becoming more and more abundant, even if she tried her best to suppress the soaring spiritual energy. She was unable to stop the intense pain in her meridians and Dantian. It's over. It seemed like she was really going to be eaten to death by herself this time.
"Pea …" Suddenly, the pea that had been quietly lying on her leg called out. In a flash, she could faintly hear the chanting of some mystic art in her mind. The pea began to emit a green light. She simply felt the spiritual energy that had been congested in her meridians, was instantly being extracted. Towards the outside. Into the pea's body.
A moment later, the pain in her body completely disappeared, and her meridians returned to normal as well. It was as though she had been constipated for several days. As though she had been fed a laxative, her entire body felt comfortable, and her mind felt refreshed.
After surviving a calamity, she definitely had to eat more oreos in the future.
She took a deep breath. Waking up from her meditative state, she looked at the pea that had grown by a size on her leg. Her heart was filled with excitement. "Pea Pea, tell me honestly. Do you have another name? Your surname is Dola, and your name is A Dream. B Dream is fine as well … "
The mysterious Pea Pea's reply was, "Burp …" He let out a resounding burp.
— — — —
"Grandma!" Little tyrant ran over with an excited look. "Grandma, I'm here. "Grandma, you're awake. I thought … Fortunately, you formed your Azoth Core. "
Zhu Yao stroked his head. "Don't worry. Grandma's life is tough! "Looking at it, this was the easiest time she had formed her Azoth Core." How long have I been meditating for? "
"Five days!" Little tyrant said.
Zhu Yao was stunned. "Five days! Then you … "Didn't that mean he had been starving for seven to eight days straight?
"Grandma, don't worry. I still have one last Grain Abstaining Pellet. Furthermore, when you formed your Azoth Core, the surrounding spiritual energy was extremely dense, and my cultivation had increased as well. "
Zhu Yao took a closer look. As expected, he had already reached the Essence Paragon level, and he was just a little bit away from successfully building his Foundation.
"Not bad, little fellow." She patted on his shoulder. "Oh right, where's Ye Qingcang?"
Little tyrant was startled for a moment, as he looked behind her. "Junior-martial brother is still meditating." His tone carried a little envy. "Two days ago, when grandma formed her Azoth Core, junior-martial brother Ye comprehended a strand of the Heavenly Dao, so he entered a meditative state as well. He directly advanced from the fifth level of Essence to the eighth level!"
As expected of the male lead. Even watching someone form their Azoth Core, he was able to increase his cultivation.
"Junior-martial brother Ye's aptitude isn't much, but his comprehension abilities are exceptional. Even I … cannot compare to him." After saying that, he once again glanced at Ye Qingcang.
Zhu Yao could faintly see a hint of loneliness in his eyes, as she heavily patted on his shoulder. "Little tyrant, what are you thinking about? Are you envious of him? "
His expression stiffened, and his gaze drifted for a moment. "He … is indeed very incredible."
"You only see his current incredible strength, but you did not see the pain he suffered in the past." Zhu Yao forcefully stroked his head. This child, little tyrant, had been an inner sect disciple since young, and his aptitude was considered to be excellent as well. However, he was left alone by his master, and there had always been a lack of elders to guide him by his side. Hence, his personality was extremely headstrong. Just by looking at the fact that among his peers in the inner sect, there was no one whose cultivation was faster than his, she could tell. Suddenly seeing Ye Qingcang who was levelling up like a rocket, it was unavoidable for him to feel unbalanced. Furthermore, the other party was someone with penta spirit veins, so it was normal for him to have doubts about himself. However, if these doubts were to be buried forever, it might very well turn into a form of inferiority complex. She did not wish for this imbalance to become a knot in his heart in the future.
"Listen to me, little tyrant." Zhu Yao sighed. "Do you think that Ye Qingcang, with his penta spirit veins, is very impressive for him to rise from the first level of Essence to the eighth level of Essence in a short half a month?"
"Mn." He obediently nodded.
"Then how long did you take?"
"Three years!" And he had cultivated every single day, and did not dare to slack off, which was why he had such a speed.
"Then what about when you advanced from the first level of Essence to the second level?" Zhu Yao continued to ask.
Little tyrant was startled, as he looked at her a little strangely. "The first three levels of Essence are extremely easy. As long as one knows how to take in spiritual energy, one can usually reach the third level within half a month. Back then, I naturally only used two days to reach the second level."
"Oh." Zhu Yao pointed to Ye Qingcang on the ground. "But he used five years."
Little tyrant was stunned for a moment. After regaining his senses, he retorted. "That's different!"
"How is it different?"
"…" Little tyrant was speechless. Indeed! Mortal disciples usually entered the sect at the age of ten, and a few days ago, Ye Qingcang was only at the first level of Essence. In other words, he had indeed spent five years.
"Little tyrant …" Zhu Yao said with a serious look. "That's why I said you only saw his current achievements, but did not see the glory behind. He had similarly put in many years of hard work. You're the same age as him, but you're already at the Essence Paragon level, while he's only at the eighth level. He's the one who should be envious, not you. "
Bai Zhiyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He seemed to have understood something, yet he was still a little unclear.
"Furthermore." Zhu Yao continued. "You're envious of him advancing from the first level of Essence to the eighth level of Essence in just a few days? Why aren't you envious of me advancing from the middle stages of Foundation to the Azoth Paragon in just five days? "
Little tyrant instantly widened his eyes.
Zhu Yao smiled. She pinched his cheeks and pulled them to the sides. "Little tyrant, what's important isn't to be envious of what others have, but what you possess. Look at yourself more. Your Dao relies on yourself, and not others. No matter how outstanding he is, he won't be able to help you walk your life. "
Little tyrant fiercely raised his head to look at her. The perplexed look on his face slowly disappeared, and his eyes grew brighter as well. Compared to before, it was even clearer. A smile slowly surfaced on that face that still carried a little childishness. He nodded at her. "Grandma, Little Bai understands."
Only then did Zhu Yao heave a sigh of relief. She understood the feelings of other people's children very well. She had been living in this kind of shadow since young.
Wait a minute!
Other people's children …
Zhu Yao's eyes shone, and she was instantly excited. The hell! She knew how to deal with the bug this time.
So that's how it is!
"Granny." Ye Qingcang had just woken up, and he respectfully greeted her.
"Hi, other people's … Ah pui, Little Cang." When she thought of the solution, she instantly felt that the male protagonist was much more pleasing to the eye! "Speaking of which …"
"Pea …" Just as Zhu Yao was about to speak, Pea interrupted. He squeezed himself between the two of them, and rubbed against her chest as though he was acting spoiled. Zhu Yao simply felt her hands sinking, and her legs trembled, almost causing her to fall.
When did this pea become so fat? She couldn't even carry him anymore.
"Pea pea pea pea!" He bounced around, and Zhu Yao felt as though her hands were about to break. Yet, he suddenly flew out of her embrace, flew in a certain direction for a while, and then flew back.
Was he telling them to go in that direction? "What's over there?"
"Pea!"
Zhu Yao frowned. Summoning her flying sword, she called out to the two good youths, and then followed Pea in that direction. She wondered what the pea had discovered, but she had to head over to take a look. It might be the exit!
Earlier, when they entered, they flew straight to the mountain peak, while the direction the pea was bringing them was towards the bottom of the mountain. Halfway through their flight, Zhu Yao was startled, and with a crack, she stopped in midair.
"Grandma?" The two little ones curiously turned their heads.
Zhu Yao clenched her fists, and solemnly said. "Set up a defensive barrier, hurry!"
The smell of blood!
She smelled a very thick stench of blood!
Even back then in the Battlefield of Gods and Devils, she had never smelled such a thick stench. And, the instant that stench spread, she even felt a sense of sorrow that was about to suffocate her.
That emotion came very mysteriously, and her heart felt as though it was being tightly gripped by someone in an instant, causing her to feel an indescribable pain. It was as though there was something waiting for her at the end of her journey, something that would cause her great sorrow. (To be continued)
