There were two sources of power for a cultivator. One was the Yi Sea, which provided a steady stream of spiritual energy for the cultivator. There was an ancient saying that the Three Spiritual Souls and Seven Physical Forms originated from the Yi Sea. This was because the Heaven Soul, Earth Soul, and Life Soul dominated the human soul, while the Tianchong, Spiritual Wisdom, Qi, Strength, Core, Essence, and Heroism formed the human soul. The cultivation of the Spirit Pulse Technique started with the Three Spiritual Souls and Seven Physical Forms, strengthening and refining them one by one. This made Lin Muyu's soul far stronger than cultivators of the same level, and her spiritual sense was naturally much more sensitive.
The other source of power was the Qi Sea. The human Qi came from the earth, the starry sky, the ocean, and the spirits. These powers gathered in the dantian and formed a Qi Sea. The cultivators of the Shattered Cauldron Realm had a stronger desire to strengthen the Qi Sea than the Yi Sea. Zhang Wei, Wei Chou, and Xiang Yu could be found everywhere because the Qi Sea was the most direct source of power.
At this moment, Lin Muyu felt that her Qi Sea was completely empty, as if all her fighting energy had been absorbed by the Gourd Martial Soul. The indigo gourd surrounded her body and rotated slowly. Not only did it crazily absorb the Beast Spirit of the Umbrella Dragon, but it also seemed to absorb Lin Muyu's fighting energy.
"What's wrong with this gourd?"
Lin Muyu furrowed her brows, feeling that something was amiss.
After an unknown amount of time, when the Beast Spirit of the Lightning Umbrella Dragon was almost completely refined, a ray of light suddenly shone through the rocks and fell on the gourd. At the same time, the indigo gourd trembled slightly and wisps of golden light seeped out of the gourd like golden threads. In the blink of an eye, the Green Gourd Martial Soul had completely turned pale gold.
"Roar …"
In the Treasure Refining Cauldron, the last wisp of the Lightning Umbrella Dragon's Beast Spirit was still roaring and raging, trying to break out of the Treasure Refining Cauldron. However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not succeed. The Treasure Refining Cauldron had completely become a sealed space. When Lin Muyu gathered endless Heavenly Fire and continued to refine and burn it for five minutes, the wisp of Beast Spirit finally turned into rays of golden light and slowly seeped into the gourd.
"Buzz …"
The gourd let out a sharp whistling sound and trembled slightly. The outer walls of the gourd started to peel off, revealing the new gourd inside. It had become a completely golden gourd. At the same time, Lin Muyu was overjoyed. The gourd had leveled up, which meant that he had broken through the first level of the Heaven Realm! Finally, after being in the first echelon of Heaven Realm for a long time, he completed his breakthrough and finally caught up to Feng Jixing, Qin Lei, Chu Huaiyin, and the others.
Lulu chuckled and said, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Big Brother!"
"Thank you, Lulu."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly. At the same time, she felt that the golden gourd was returning a powerful and boundless fighting aura to her. This was far more vast and pure than the fighting aura that she had absorbed before. At the same time, a milky white fighting aura slowly flowed on the surface of her body, condensing into a rugged armor-like defensive layer on the surface of her skin.
Battle Qi Armor!
Finally, he also had the ability to transform fighting aura into armor! With the defense of the Martial Soul's gourd, Lin Muyu could be said to be a moving steel fortress. Unless one was absolutely above him, they would not be able to penetrate his defense.
Lulu chuckled and said, "Big Brother, the Thunder Umbrella Dragon's skill has also been refined. It's an offensive skill. Let's call it 'First Light of Dawn'. This kind of power can be condensed in your attack, and it can also be released instantly to produce a dazzling light that pierces your opponent's eyes. It depends on how you use it."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly. The seven energy planes of the golden gourd contained the power of First Light of Dawn. He opened his palm and exerted force lightly. "Buzz, buzz" fighting aura flowed, and under the catalysis of the Martial Soul, it condensed into a golden light of dawn that lingered between her five fingers. It even flowed along her five fingers into the Dragon Soul Sword. Immediately, the Dragon Soul Sword let out a sword cry, as if it was extremely happy because of this tyrannical light attribute power.
Perhaps, the sword that Lin Muyu slashed out now would definitely be different from before.
…
At this moment, Xiahou Sang walked in from outside the cave. At one glance, he saw that Lin Muyu's green gourd had turned into a golden gourd, and the surface of the gourd was rapidly peeling off. Immediately, Xiahou Sang happily cupped his fists and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Sir. Your gourd has been upgraded. It is no longer a Level Ten Green Gourd!"
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu was stunned. "What do you mean? I only know that the green gourd has been upgraded to the seventh level, but I don't know what other upgrades there are."
Xiahou Sang explained, "Sir, you may not know this, but Martial Souls are not the same. Some people's Martial Souls are born with very low grades, but after some fortuitous encounters or arduous cultivation, their Level Eight Martial Soul can also be upgraded to Level Seven. I believe that Sir's Green Gourd has now turned golden, so it should no longer be Level Ten. Perhaps when Sir returns to Lanyan City, you can let Great Deacon Lei Hong take a look at it. He will be able to determine the grade of your Martial Soul at a glance."
"Hey, that's great!"
The Level Ten Martial Soul had always been Lin Muyu's sore spot. After all, as an all-powerful figure, it was not right for her to have the lowest grade of Martial Soul. Now that Xiahou Sang had said this, it seemed that her counterattack was a foregone conclusion!
Xiahou Sang said again, "Sir, it's almost dawn. Let's go back. If we continue to delay, I'm afraid Sir will not be able to make it to the Sword Duel Conference."
"It's already dawn …"
Lin Muyu was a little confused. She did not expect that she had refined it for so long. It must have taken a lot of time to upgrade the Martial Soul Gourd. She nodded and said, "Yes, let's go back!"
…
The moment they stepped out of the cave, Wei Chou and the other two were all trembling outside. They had not slept for a night, and their complexions were not very good. However, there was nothing they could do. This was fate. The people of the Eagle Nest Camp were destined to have a much harder time than the Dragon Guards and the Tiger Guards.
Wei Chou immediately saw that the characteristics of Lin Muyu's strength were completely different. He immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Sir!"
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Thank you."
The other Imperial Guard called 'Han Shao' had a look of shock on his face and said, "Commander has also stepped into the Second Heaven of the Heaven Realm?"
"Yes, let's go. Let's return to the Eagle Nest Camp as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Everyone left the cave together. The warhorses were tied up not far away. After feeding them some fodder, they urged them on their way back. Fortunately, these warhorses were good horses, or they would not have been able to withstand such torment. However, after this trip, these five warhorses would probably lose a few kilograms. This was the dream of many girls!
Lin Muyu sat on her horse, resting with her eyes closed. The warhorse followed Wei Chou's horse forward.
However, Lin Muyu always felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if … as if something was spying on them. However, when the Spirit Meridian Art spread out, there was no other powerful force in a radius of several li apart from them. This uneasy feeling was very puzzling.
Slowly raising her hand, she unsheathed the long sword on her back and hung it on her waist so that she could draw it at any time. Lin Muyu's eyes were cold as she said: "Everyone, be careful. It's not safe here."
Everyone nodded. Xiahou Sang raised his warblade and said, "Don't worry, Sir. We will step onto the main road in ten minutes. At that time, the warhorses will gallop, and ordinary spirit beasts will not be able to catch up to us. Furthermore, Sir has already stepped into the Second Heaven of the Heaven Realm, becoming a Heavenly King powerhouse. Ordinary spirit beasts will avoid us."
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "We still need to be careful."
"Yes, I know!"
Wei Chou also drew his longbow from his back, hanging it at his waist. At the same time, he placed his other hand beside his quiver, ready to strike at any time.
…
Lin Muyu closed his eyes, and the Spirit Meridian Art spread out once more, searching carefully. At the same time, he pricked up his ears, listening carefully to all the sounds around him. The sound of horse hooves in the snow, the clanking of armor, and the sound of cloaks fluttering in the cold wind. Other than that, there seemed to be no other sound.
However, at that moment, Lin Muyu suddenly furrowed his brow in alarm. He could clearly hear something strange amidst the sounds. It was a rustling sound, like the sound of a beast's claws landing on the snow. However … when he opened his eyes and looked around, he could not see a single beast.
"What is going on?"
Lin Muyu clenched his teeth, and even began to doubt the Spirit Meridian Art's spiritual sense. Where did this strange sound come from?
Suddenly, his gaze fell to the back, and he saw a beast's palm print appearing on the snow with a rustling sound. However, he could not see the beast's figure. However, Lin Muyu had already confirmed that there was something following his group. His spiritual sense was not wrong, and his ominous premonition was not wrong either.
"Be careful behind you!"
Lin Muyu suddenly turned around, raised his hand to pull out the Dragon Spirit Sword, and rushed in the opposite direction.
The person at the back of the group was the Royal Guard, Han Shao, who had the strength of a level 54 Battle-Saint. He turned around in astonishment, looked at the snow behind him, and said, "My lord, there's nothing?!"
"Han Shao, be careful!" Lin Muyu shouted loudly.
Right at this moment, the scene in the air suddenly distorted. Amidst the roar of a wild beast, the figure of a scarlet beast suddenly appeared in the air in front of Han Shao. Its body was covered in fur, and its sharp claws swept past!
"Puchi!"
Han Shao, who was on the warhorse, suddenly sank. The armor from his neck to his lower abdomen shattered, as if it was slashed by a long knife. His entire body was instantly divided into two halves, and his internal organs and blood gushed out of the ground. Even the warhorse's bones were broken by the beast's claws. With a wail, it fell to the ground together with Han Shao's corpse.
"God damn it …"
Lin Muyu's voice trembled. His anger and unwillingness made his body tremble uncontrollably.
Han Shao died instantly, and the scene of his death was extremely tragic. What kind of spirit beast was this?!
