Inside the cave, Mu Qingxiao formed a seal with his hands. Due to the enormous amount of energy in the Earth Spirit Bead, he could only compress it to every corner of his body.
A breakthrough in cultivation was a good thing, but it was like sitting on a rocket. It would inevitably shake his foundation.
After Mu Qingxiao suppressed his aura to the sixth stage of the Body Integration Stage, his expression changed. He could no longer suppress the energy in his body and it rose to the early stage of the seventh stage of the Body Integration Stage.
"Huff huff …"
After exhaling a few breaths of hot air, Mu Qingxiao's cultivation level stagnated at the seventh stage of the Body Integration Stage.
"Early stage of the seventh stage of the Body Integration Stage."
After Mu Qingxiao's aura stabilized completely, his eyebrows trembled. Finally, his tightly shut eyes trembled slightly and he suddenly opened them!
The moment he opened his eyes, a strange black flame ignited. With Mu Qingxiao as the center, it swept around the cave and turned everything in its path into nothingness.
The black light disappeared in a flash. His originally dark eyes had turned into an eternal kaleidoscope, looking extremely demonic.
The kaleidoscope spun and a suction force appeared out of thin air. The spreading flames gradually converged until they were all sucked into the kaleidoscope.
"Huff …"
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Feeling the vast and rich spiritual energy in his body, he felt an extreme sense of satisfaction.
Then, he let out a long whistle. The whistle was faintly mixed with the loud cry of a phoenix. It shook the cave until it was blocked by the enchantment.
After the whistle dissipated, Mu Qingxiao stood up. A terrifying aura swept out from him.
After his seclusion, Mu Qingxiao couldn't help but stretch. He casually clenched his hand in the air and a dent appeared in the space.
Feeling the vast power, Mu Qingxiao was confident that he could defeat or even kill a cultivator at the peak of the ninth stage of the Dao Integration Stage!
Early stage of the seventh stage of the Body Integration Stage. He could be considered a powerful cultivator in the thousands of worlds, but it still wasn't enough.
After refining the Earth Spirit Bead, the rich and pure energy in it was beyond imagination. This made Mu Qingxiao even more determined to obtain the rest of the Spirit Beads as soon as possible.
The Spirit Beads were indeed the strongest and purest energy in the human world.
Just one Earth Spirit Bead was enough to make his cultivation soar from the second-stage to the seventh-stage of the Combination Realm, which showed how terrifying the power contained in it was.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Mu Qingxiao retracted his aura and turned back into an ordinary young man.
Glancing at the abode, he could clearly feel that the abode was much more spacious than it was before he went into seclusion. The old bed and stone platform had also disappeared. It was obvious that they had all been turned into nothingness by the divine fire.
To Mu Qingxiao, the stronger the Divine Flame, the better. It was one of his greatest trump cards.
It wasn't just the Divine Fire. Under the gravitational pressure of the Earth Spirit Orb, his physical body had undergone tremendous changes compared to seven months ago.
Moreover, Mu Qingxiao could faintly feel that not only his physical body, but also his Spirit Qi had undergone a slight change after the earth attribute energy had fused into his body.
The change was not obvious, but he could feel it.
Returning to his senses, Mu Qingxiao strode out of the abode. After almost seven months of seclusion, he finally saw the light of day again.
He removed the spatial barrier and arrived outside the abode. Taking in a deep breath of the fresh air of the wilderness, Mu Qingxiao could not help but stretch again.
"Hmm?"
Mu Qingxiao was taken aback, as he discovered that the entrance of the abode had changed slightly compared to seven months ago. It was still very clean, and the weeds had been trimmed.
Clearly, someone had cleaned the entrance of the abode while he was in seclusion.
After recovering from his surprise, Mu Qingxiao looked away. Trivial matters like this were nothing to him. In the next second, he turned into a streak of light and shot towards the east of the forest of Ancient Vines.
In just a few seconds, he landed before a bamboo hut.
A fence surrounded the bamboo hut. An old man sat on a bamboo chair at the entrance. He was the Ancient Vine Elder.
"Are you ready to leave?"
The Ancient Vine Elder was not surprised by Mu Qingxiao's arrival. As long as Mu Qingxiao was in the forest of Ancient Vines, nothing he did could escape his eyes.
"Thank you for reminding me at such a crucial moment, Ancient Vine Elder. Seclusion is over, so I won't disturb you any further."
With that, the Ancient Vine Elder sat up. He studied Mu Qingxiao with his murky eyes and asked in confusion, "Can you tell me why you possess the aura of the Phoenix clan?"
Mu Qingxiao raised an eyebrow. The aura he had leaked out when he broke through had not escaped the Ancient Vine Elder's senses.
"I inherited the bloodline of the Phoenix clan."
Mu Qingxiao did not hide this. Even if he did not mention it, the Ancient Vine Elder would probably have guessed it already.
The Ancient Vine Elder nodded in thought. After a moment of thought, he clenched his right hand, and a scroll appeared in his hand. Afterwards, he tossed it to Mu Qingxiao.
"The cave you cultivate in was left behind by a powerful Shushan in the past. This scroll records some wondrous cultivation methods. Daemons can't practise it, so I've been keeping it until now. It might be helpful to you."
Mu Qingxiao accepted the scroll and was rather taken aback. He had no idea what the Ancient Vine Elder was trying to do, but he did not turn him down.
He stowed the scroll away in his storage space and clasped his hands before turning into a streak of light, vanishing from the world.
After Mu Qingxiao left, the Ancient Vine Elder fell into a daze. After quite a while, he smiled. "This kid is clearly a human, but he possesses the bloodline of daemons. How unbelievable. May the daemons prosper forever …"
At the same time, a few figures strolled through a bamboo forest outside the forest of Ancient Vines.
"Oi, little thing, are you sure the Earth Spirit pearl is in a place like this?"
Compared to seven months ago, Jing Tian's aura had undergone an overwhelming change, but his rascally personality had not changed by much.
He had also changed out of his burlap clothes and carried a sword on his back, which made him seem rather chivalrous.
Two beautiful women stood to his left and right, while a spiritual beast the size of a potato flapped its wings in the air, nodding its head vigorously.
"Damn you, Vegetable Ya, what're you being so fierce for? Hua Ying said the Earth Spirit pearl is here, so it must be here."
… …
… …
After leaving the forest of Ancient Vines, Mu Qingxiao did not linger around. He rushed towards Lin 'an city as quickly as he could.
When he returned to Lin 'an and arrived at Yong' an, he received news that Jing Tian had gone far away. He had no idea when he would return.
Mu Qingxiao knew that the storyline had probably already begun.
The world of the Immortal Sword was so vast. Searching for them was equivalent to searching for a needle in a haystack. Mu Qingxiao obviously could not do something so arduous and unrewarding.
Since Jing Tian had already obtained the demonic sword and embarked on the trajectory, there was no need for Mu Qingxiao to interfere.
Once he gathered the five Spirit pearls and refined them all, obtaining the demonic sword would be a piece of cake. Right now, the most important thing was to increase his strength.
The demonic sword was no longer in Lin 'an, so Mu Qingxiao obviously did not stay behind. After all, he began to consider his next step.
