However, just as Yan Lingji was about to step into the courtyard, Shui Mu Yin Ji grabbed her hand.

"Don't go in."

Blocked by the Water Mother Yin Ji, Yan Ling Ji couldn't help but turn her head and look at the Water Mother Yin Ji with a puzzled expression.

Seeing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji explained, "Qinghe's cultivation and strength far surpass ours. The phenomena and commotions brought about by his breakthroughs are also very great. Every time he has an enlightenment, even I dare not get too close, otherwise I will be injured by the commotions within Qinghe's body."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji exclaimed in astonishment, "Sister Situ, even you, with your late-stage Divine Illumination Realm cultivation, find it difficult to withstand this. What about the ordinary people on the streets outside?"

Lianxing said, "My brother-in-law has set up an array around this courtyard. With the array blocking it, the aura inside the courtyard will not affect the passersby outside."

After Lianxing finished speaking, Shuimu Yinji continued, "For safety's sake, let's just observe from this position. If we sense anything amiss later, immediately circulate our true energy and retreat. Don't be reckless."

Yan Lingji was, after all, a newcomer and had not yet experienced many things in the courtyard.

Hearing what the Water Mother Yin Ji said, Yan Ling Ji nodded obediently.

"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Sister Situ."

Shuimu Yinji nodded in response and then turned her gaze to Chu Qinghe in the courtyard.

As the group talked, the sword energy that had been condensing from Chu Qinghe's body had already filled the entire courtyard.

The dense, flowing sword energy caused gusts of wind to rise throughout the entire courtyard.

Not to mention Yan Lingji, even Qu Feiyan and Wanwan felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the faint sword energy filling the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, as sword energy filled the entire space, streams of sword intent from Chu Qinghe's dantian seemed to gain their own consciousness and began to flow out from him one after another.

As the sword intent burst forth from his body, seven sword energies of different colors and each about three feet long appeared.

However, this allowed the sword intent to solidify into form.

As these seven sword intents coalesced, the group sensed that streams of heaven and earth energy began to be drawn in from the surrounding area.

Suddenly, a burst of energy erupted from Chu Qinghe's body.

This aura spread out like a ripple on a calm, mirror-like lake.

The ripples spread rapidly from Chu Qinghe's center, and in an instant reached the location of Shui Mu Yin Ji and the others, passing through them.
