Jun Wu Xie didn't wait for him and Emptiness to fully recover before leaving.
They had just entered and were too close to the starting point of the trial.
If the youth from the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect's True Martial Faction also chose this entrance, he would definitely see the traces of battle left behind in the hall and chase after them.
"Brother-in-law, why didn't you wait until your injuries healed?"
Ji Beilan was very confused. That place had clearly been very safe just now.
"Follow me. Don't talk so much nonsense!"
Jun Wu Xie didn't want to explain to them, lest they feel burdened and feel like they were a burden to him.
As they walked deeper into the cave and passed through a few forks, a stone door blocked their path.
Jun Wu Xie approached the stone door and carefully sensed it. He sensed a dense baleful aura from within.
However, compared to the hall from before, the baleful aura was much weaker.
"Emptiness, do you have any Spring of Life on you?"
"Yes!"
Emptiness took out a crystal bottle and handed it to Jun Wu Xie.
"Why are you giving it to me?" Jun Wu Xie said, "Take a drop now and quickly heal your injuries."
"But there are only five drops in total. Can I slowly recover?"
"What do you think?"
Jun Wu Xie stared at his shiny bald head and wanted to give him a tight slap.
At this time, he was still worried about the Spring of Life.
Emptiness glanced at him resentfully and took a drop of the Spring of Life with a pained expression.
It didn't take long before the scratches on his chest began to scab over.
"Now, it's time for you to increase your cultivation. Be alert and don't get injured again. "
Jun Wu Xie warned. Once they were injured, it would be very difficult to refine the baleful aura and waste a lot of time.
What they lacked right now was time. Who knew when that youth from the True Martial Faction would find them?
Jun Wu Xie had to be on guard. The Heaven Splitting Sword Sect's people had some special method to track them down here.
He pushed open the stone door and a surge of baleful aura immediately surged out.
This was still a large hall.
The walls of the hall were lit with everlasting lamps.
It was empty. There was nothing inside.
"Why are there no tormented souls here?"
Xu Daoling, Kong Xu, and Ji Beilan all felt strange.
With such a strong murderous aura, there shouldn't be any tormented spirits around.
"See those cocoons?"
Jun Wu Xie pointed at the energy cocoon in the hall. The dense baleful aura was coming from it.
He turned and closed the door.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you mean …"
"That's right. The tormented souls here should be in deep slumber. That's perfect. I'll kill them one by one and raise your cultivation base. "
As he spoke, he gathered the Soldier Fire in his left hand. With the Premier Sword Embryo in his right hand, he slashed down!
Suddenly, the energy cocoon shattered, and dense spiritual energy rushed out of it, quickly condensing into a tormented spirit. It screamed and pounced on him.
"A tormented soul at the peak of the Grotto Heaven realm! Your realm isn't bad! "
He sliced the tormented soul into two with his sword. Before the tormented soul could reassemble, the Blazing Weapon Flame immediately enveloped the tormented soul from both sides.
Ahhh!
The tormented souls struggled, letting out sharp and ferocious cries. They dashed left and right amidst the flames, but they were unable to break through.
The Blazing Weapon Flame was extremely domineering. In an instant, the tormented soul was on the verge of death.
"Kong Xu, burn it to death with the Blazing Yang!"
He threw the dying tormented soul to Kong Xu.
Kong Xu immediately enveloped it with the Fire of Vajra Blood Qi.
Although Kong Xu's Fire of Blood Qi was not strong, the tormented soul was extremely weak and could not withstand it. Soon, it was on the verge of death.
Before it died, it let out a shrill and chilling cry. Suddenly, its entire body exploded.
Pure spiritual energy rushed into Kong Xu's body, and a portion of the murderous aura rushed in as well.
Kong Xu quickly sat down with his legs crossed to refine the murderous aura and absorb the spiritual energy.
Jun Wu Xie did the same and severely injured three tormented souls in a row. Xu Daoling and Ji Beilan also received the same spiritual energy.
The three of them sat down and began to absorb and refine the spiritual energy.
"You guys just focus on refining the spiritual energy of the tormented souls. If there's too much murderous aura in your body, tell me immediately. I'll help you refine it!"
"In here, we actually have an advantage. There's a realm restriction in this trial ground. The true disciples of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect can't break through, so they can only save their energy and bring it out. However, we can break through our realms! As long as we have time, we can continue to become stronger! "
After he said that, he continued to attack the tormented souls in the energy cocoons.
It did not take long for him to severely injure a bunch of tormented souls and suppress them. He placed them in front of Xu Daoling, Kong Xu, and Ji Beilan to provide them with an endless supply of energy.
"This cocoon …"
His gaze locked onto a stone platform engraved with runes at the top of the hall.
There was an energy cocoon there, and its size was about ten times bigger than the other cocoons!
Previously, there was a huge stone pillar between them and this cocoon. Their vision was blocked, so they did not see it.
"What realm is this tormented soul in here?"
He hesitated and raised the sword embryo in his hand several times.
The tormented soul in this cocoon was definitely not of a low realm.
However, he could not be sure how high it was.
Although the higher the realm of the tormented soul, the purer the spiritual energy obtained after killing it, it was still risky.
If they encountered a tormented soul that was difficult to deal with, the result would be disastrous.
"Forget it …"
He looked at the three people who were refining the energy of the tormented souls and finally gave up.
He walked to the other cocoons of normal size and raised his sword to awaken the sleeping tormented souls. Then, he killed them on the spot!
Pure and rich spiritual energy continuously rushed into his body.
After killing a few tormented souls, he felt that every inch of his body was filled with spiritual energy.
He immediately activated the Primeval Golden Body Technique and converted it into blood essence to strengthen his body.
"This feeling …"
He felt that every cell in his body was excited.
Just as Lord Alcohol had said, the spiritual energy of these tormented souls was too pure.
The blood essence that was converted was also very pure.
He could clearly feel that his body was constantly becoming stronger.
A few days ago, he had been refining so many spiritual weapons, but his progress had been slow. Now, he was improving at a shocking speed.
In just half a day.
He had completely refined and absorbed the energy of five tormented souls and broke through the barrier of the early stage of the supreme realm. He had reached the Lesser Perfection of the supreme realm!
"This cultivation speed is too fast! At this rate, I will soon reach the Greater Perfection of the supreme realm. Then, I will construct a grotto-heaven in my body and break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm! "
Jun Wu Xie was shocked and excited.
This was really a holy land for cultivation!
He looked at Xu Daoling, Kong Xu, and Ji Beilan.
A barrier was vaguely formed on the surface of their bodies.
It looked like a True Qi barrier, but it did not look like one upon closer inspection.
True Qi constantly rushed out of their bodies and flowed within the barrier, forming a regular cycle.
There was a loud rumble!
Xu Daoling's body was the first to explode.
In an instant.
The barrier on the surface of his body quickly shrank and disappeared into his body.
The next moment, his aura doubled!
His entire person seemed to be different from before.
"Grotto-Heaven realm!" Xu Daoling opened his eyes and said excitedly to Jun Wu Xie, "Eldest Senior Brother, I've broken through to the Grotto-Heaven realm. Haha!"
"Quickly stabilize your realm. What are you so proud of?"
Jun Wu Xie was a little speechless. This guy had just broken through and was already beside himself with joy. His realm had not stabilized yet, so it was easy for problems to arise.
He was very happy for him in his heart.
It seemed that Kong Xu and Ji Beilan were about to break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm.
The barrier on the surface of their bodies should be a phenomenon that appeared on the surface of their bodies after they successfully constructed a Grotto-Heaven in their bodies.
Not long after, Kong Xu and Ji Beilan broke through to the Grotto-Heaven realm one after another.
While they were stabilizing their realms, Jun Wu Xie stepped forward and checked the condition of their bodies.
There were remnants of murderous aura in their bodies.
Although it did not affect them much at the moment, if they continued to absorb and refine the power of the murderous spirits, there might be problems.
He immediately used his Soldier Fire to help them refine the murderous aura in their bodies.
In this way, after the three of them stabilized their realms, they could immediately absorb the power of the murderous spirits and continue to improve their realms.
It was rare to encounter a situation where the murderous spirits were in a deep slumber. How could he miss such an opportunity?
It was a wise choice to improve their realms as much as possible here.
After helping them refine the murderous aura, Jun Wu Xie continued to kill the murderous spirits and absorb their power, preparing to break through to the supreme perfection realm.
…
In the outside world, in the capital city square, countless pairs of eyes were looking at the two ancient bluestone tablets.
Each tablet had a name flashing on it.
Below the name, there was a tally of the points.
Above the shining names on the ancient tablets, there was a tally of the total points.
The Sōgō Gakuin School and the Imperial family were on the same side.
The Mountain Bearing Sword Sect and Daiga Ken Sect were on the same side.
On the Sōgō Gakuin School's side, under Jun Wu Xie's name, there was a tally of 50 points. Xu Daoling: 10 points. Kong Xu: 10 points. Ji Beilan: 10 points. Total points: 100 points.
On the other ancient tablet, there were hundreds of names on the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect's side. Some of the names had no points, while others had more than ten points.
Their total points were very high. They had more than 500 points!
Moreover, the tally was constantly changing. The number was constantly jumping.
On the Sōgō Gakuin School's side, the tally was also changing.
Especially under Jun Wu Xie's name, the tally was increasing by 10 points, 10 points, 10 points, and 10 points.
"Hmm, Jun Wu Xie from the Sōgō Gakuin School must be exhausted. Why does it seem like he's the only one whose tally is increasing? Hahaha! "
Someone from the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect mocked.
"Tsk tsk, that Jun Wu Xie is also giving it his all. What a pity. Even if he dies from exhaustion in the trial ground, his tally is pitifully low compared to ours. Hahaha!"
"The Sōgō Gakuin School is a declining sect. How can they compete with our Mountain Bearing Sword Sect? Do you see the tally? They're simply a joke! "
"A fool trying to shake a tree. This is wishful thinking. A frog at the bottom of a well who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
… …
The people from the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect and Daiga Ken Sect began to mock when they saw the gap between the two sides growing larger and larger.
"Hmm, looks like you're going to lose for sure. There's no suspense this time."
The Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect's Guardian Elder held a cup of hot tea in his hand as he smiled at Yan Qingcheng.
"Ten days is still early. If you're so excited, I'm afraid your joy will turn into sorrow."
Yan Qingcheng indifferently replied. She believed in Jun Wu Xie.
That youth had created too many miracles in the South Mountain Secret Territory. It was as if nothing was impossible for him.
Many seemingly impossible things were always done by him!
