Chapter 7440
Luo Qingxue
Yun Yuyan, being gentle and calm, was a bit slow in sensing spiritual energy, but after several hours, she successfully captured that faint sense of energy and gradually guided it into her meridians, thus stepping into the threshold of cultivation.
Seeing the two women with their eyes closed, immersed in the wondrous sensation of their first cultivation, their brows furrowed with a mixture of seriousness and joy, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself:
If they had received resources and guidance from a young age and devoted themselves to cultivation, given their talents, their current achievements would probably not be low.
After settling the two women in, Xiao Chen returned to his room and closed the door.
The previous life-or-death battle with Mr. Qi, coupled with the wealth of information he acquired today, caused his divine energy in his dantian to surge uncontrollably. The originally solid barrier to his realm was now showing signs of loosening, with a strong potential for a breakthrough.
It seems a breakthrough is just around the corner.
Since his last battle with Wu Feifei, Xiao Chen has become increasingly eager to improve his strength... Wu Feifei is just a junior in the Spirit Realm Secret Realm, and even though her cultivation is suppressed by worldly laws, she can still fight him to a standstill.
If he were to encounter a Spirit Realm expert stronger than Wu Feifei in the future, or a hidden master from the Imperial Biomedical Company, he would not only be unable to protect himself if he lacked the strength, but also unable to protect those around him.
Becoming stronger is of utmost urgency!
Meanwhile, far beyond the nine heavens, in the Spirit Realm, an ancient palace floats above a vast sea of clouds, shrouded in ethereal mist and auspicious light, with jade trees and flowers blooming everywhere and spiritual springs flowing gently, resembling a fairyland.
On the white jade terrace outside the hall, a woman dressed in a moon-white flowing fairy dress stood quietly.
Her hair was as black as a waterfall, tied up with a simple jade hairpin. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like frost-covered pools, her skin as white as snow and as smooth as porcelain. She was surrounded by a faint, cool, ethereal glow, her temperament aloof and otherworldly, untouched by the mortal world.
Such a face and temperament, as aloof as the cold moon in the sky, yet breathtakingly beautiful, making one afraid to look directly at it. Even a fleeting glance would make one's heart sway and unable to control oneself.
She is Luo Qingxue, the leading figure of the younger generation in the Spirit Realm, known as the "Ice Glass Fairy"... She has unparalleled talent and unfathomable cultivation, and is rarely matched among her peers.
Beside her, a girl wearing a pale yellow short shirt and with her hair in two buns was sitting idly on the edge of the terrace, swinging her slender legs. She had a green herb stem in her mouth and her eyes were full of charm and liveliness. She was her junior sister, Wu Feifei.
Wu Feifei entered the Spirit Realm Secret Realm for a shorter time than Jiang Meng, yet her current cultivation level has already surpassed Xiao Chen's... This is enough to show how abundant the spiritual energy is in the Spirit Realm Secret Realm and how unique the cultivation conditions are, far surpassing anything in the mortal world.
Suddenly, Luo Qingxue spoke slowly, her voice clear and melodious like an ice spring striking a stone, devoid of any emotion: "This time, you went to the mortal world on your master's orders. Did you kill that man named Xiao Chen?"
Wu Feifei spat out the immortal herb stem from her mouth, pouted, and said with a hint of grievance and confusion, "Senior sister, I really don't understand why Master insisted that I kill that Xiao Chen?"
"Although he has decent talent in the mortal world, he is ultimately just a mortal trapped in the mundane world. Is it worth risking the backlash of the laws to go to the mortal world to kill him?"
She paused, then frowned and asked again, "And also, Senior Sister, Xiao Chen is, after all, Senior Sister Jiang Meng's husband, isn't he?"
"Jiang Meng's talent is so amazing, even more outstanding than yours, so why does Master insist on hunting her down, not even sparing her husband?"
Luo Qingxue lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyelids. She did not respond to her junior sister's many questions, her tone still cold as she repeated the question from before: "Feifei, you have too many questions."
"I'm only asking you now, have you completed your mission?"
"Is Xiao Chen dead or not?"
Seeing this, Wu Feifei knew her senior sister was genuinely getting impatient. She quickly suppressed her aggrieved expression, straightened her posture slightly, and gently shook her head: "It's not that easy, senior sister." "As you know, we people of the Spirit Realm enjoy unparalleled cultivation conditions in the secret realm, but once we step into the mortal world, our cultivation is forcibly suppressed by the laws of the mortal world..."
"Even if you are suppressed by the laws, you should still have a cultivation level comparable to the God Realm in the mortal world."
Luo Qingxue interrupted her, her tone already carrying a hint of displeasure, her brows furrowing slightly, "Just a mortal from the secular world. I've heard that the strongest person in the secular world of the Dragon Kingdom is only barely above the Celestial Realm. You can't even kill him?"
Wu Feifei sighed with a crestfallen face, her tone full of helplessness: "That's the problem, Senior Sister, I really can't kill him... That guy actually has the cultivation of the Divine Power Realm!"
Luo Qingxue's gaze narrowed slightly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the ice-patterned jade button on her cuff. She only responded with a faint "hmm," her expression still aloof, but a subtle hint of attention flashed in her eyes.
Wu Feifei's eyes darted around, and she leaned even closer, her tone carrying a hint of exaggerated surprise: "Senior Sister, aren't you shocked?"
"He's just a mortal trapped in the mundane world, unable to even come into contact with the spiritual energy of the spirit realm, yet he's managed to cultivate to the Divine Power Realm!"
"If we let him enter the Spirit Realm, wouldn't he soar to the top and surpass us?"
“Speaking of this…” she scratched the back of her head, a strange look on her face, “Senior sister, that guy is particularly strange.”
“The spiritual energy in the mortal world is pitifully thin, so cultivation should be extremely difficult. But he’s already broken through to the Deep Forest Scripture realm. Even in our Spirit Realm, that speed isn’t slow!”
"Oh?"
A noticeable ripple finally appeared in Luo Qingxue's eyes, which had been as still as a deep pool. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "That's rather strange... No wonder Jiang Meng was willing to turn against her sect and become the target of the entire Spirit Realm in order to protect him."
Wu Feifei leaned forward again, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of apprehension:
"What's even stranger is that, Senior Sister, although my cultivation level is clearly far superior to his, when I stand in front of him, I always feel a chill down my neck and a faint palpitation, as if there is something terrifying hidden inside him that, once it erupts, even I might not be able to win."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxue's tranquil mind was instantly stirred by a pebble thrown into it, creating ripples in circles.
She raised her eyes and gazed into the depths of the sea of clouds, at the spiritual peak that was faintly visible in the celestial mist. Her red lips parted slightly, and she murmured to herself, "Could it be... that Master's divination back then was not a lie?"
"Is he really the 'variable'?"
"Senior sister, what divination result are you referring to?"
Wu Feifei asked curiously, her eyes wide open.
Luo Qingxue, however, had already withdrawn her gaze, concealing all the ripples in her eyes, reverting to her usual aloof and distant demeanor. She glanced at her indifferently, saying nothing more… Her master's plans were not something a junior like her could possibly fathom, much less easily reveal. (End of Chapter)
