Zhou Jingmo hurriedly brought Bai Ying to the place where Qi Haoyuan was currently in seclusion.
Zhou Jingmo said to Bai Ying, "My master's condition is quite serious right now. I hope you can take a good look at him."
Bai Ying nodded. Although she hadn't met Qi Haoyuan yet, she was still quite confident about extending her lifespan.
Just as Zhou Jingmo raised his hand, about to touch the tightly closed door, a vast and powerful spiritual energy, seemingly capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, carrying boundless pressure, suddenly surged out of the house like a raging tsunami, sweeping straight out in all directions.
Zhou Jingmo was startled. The strength of this spiritual energy was clearly between the Nascent Soul stage and the Void Refinement stage, and its power far exceeded what he had seen before.
Bai Ying, standing beside him, also looked surprised, staring intently at the place overflowing with spiritual energy. Subconsciously, her fingers slowly tightened, clenching into a fist.
This is Qi Haoyuan attempting to break through to the Void Refinement stage!
Zhou Jingmo was filled with excitement.
The spiritual energy belonging to the Void Refinement stage grew increasingly dense and heavy, almost materializing as it surged and rolled in the air.
He took a deep breath, feeling the powerful aura wash over him, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly, forming a joyful smile.
In the world of cultivation, every breakthrough in one's cultivation realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and the Void Refining stage is an insurmountable chasm.
Once Master Qi Haoyuan successfully breaks through, the Lingyin Sect will receive immeasurable protection. The strength and foundation of the entire sect will rise accordingly, and the channels for obtaining countless rare cultivation techniques and natural treasures will be broadened. The cultivation path of the disciples will be much smoother.
And the master's lifespan can be extended by two thousand years.
Zhou Jingmo stared intently at the closed door, his eyes unblinking. Every passing second tugged at his heartstrings, his mind filled with anticipation that Qi Haoyuan would break through his shackles and step into the Refinement of Emptiness realm.
The others from the Lingyin Sect also began to get excited. But just when everyone was at their most excited, Bai Ying's brows furrowed tightly.
"not good!"
Bai Ying cried out instantly and rushed straight towards the house where Qi Haoyuan was.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators from the Lingyin Sect quickly blocked Bai Ying's path. "Elder Qi Haoyuan is at a crucial moment in his breakthrough; no one is allowed to enter."
Zhou Jingmo also said to Bai Ying, "Young friend Bai, Master is currently undergoing a breakthrough and cannot be disturbed."
Bai Ying looked at them as if they were idiots, "Get out of the way!"
At the entrance, several Lingyin Sect cultivators spread out in a fan shape, joining forces to form a barrier, intending to block Bai Ying's advance.
Seeing this, Zhou Jingmo's eyes sharpened, and he forcefully attacked without hesitation. His palm energy surged, and a sharp palm wind howled towards Bai Ying. But unexpectedly, in that split second, an extremely powerful force was released without warning from the sword that Bai Ying was holding tightly.
The sword was wreathed in extremely yin flames, the blue flames resembling a raging python ready to devour its prey, exuding a chilling aura.
The flames are extremely hot; a mere touch can instantly burn through a person's skin, tearing their hand open and filling the air with the pungent smell of burning flesh.
Although Zhou Jingmo had just seen Bai Ying defeat Yao Yanliang, Yao Yanliang was just a young man in the Golden Core stage, and he didn't take him seriously at all.
Even if Bai Ying is very strong, he still treats her as a junior.
But now, even though he was already at the Nascent Soul stage, the methods Bai Ying used were unable to stop her!
Zhou Jingmo was completely shocked by Bai Ying.
Who exactly is Bai Ying? How can she be so strong? How could she be so powerful that I couldn't even stop her?
How could that be!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other Lingyin Sect cultivators rushed towards Bai Ying's location from all directions, trying to stop her by using their numbers.
But the sword in Bai Ying's hand, burning with blue flames, was like a death warning line. Wherever the flames reached, the scorching heat and violent spiritual energy made it impossible for them to get close.
The door was suddenly flung open.
The cultivator was furious, "How dare you..."
However, before they could finish speaking, they all stopped in their tracks.
Because they saw Qi Haoyuan collapse helplessly to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, and mouthfuls of bright red blood gushing out of his mouth like a flood bursting its banks, instantly turning the ground in front of him into a sea of blood.
His face was ashen, and he was barely breathing. His former otherworldly and otherworldly appearance was gone. Now he was just a shaky, precarious body, as if a gentle breeze could blow away all his life force.
Without Bai Ying needing to explain further, everyone understood that Qi Haoyuan had failed to break through to the Void Refinement stage and had suffered extremely severe backlash.
Zhou Jingmo felt his head go blank for a moment, as if it had just gone "buzz".
His eyes widened as he stared intently at the familiar yet frail figure inside the room. His legs seemed to move on their own, and he stumbled and staggered toward Qi Haoyuan, shouting hoarsely, "Master!"
His heart was filled with bitterness. His master was old and his cultivation had stagnated for a long time. He had reached a desperate situation where he had no choice but to take a gamble and choose to break through to the Void Refinement stage in this last period of time. But he still failed.
If only I had brought Bai Ying here sooner...
Now, even if Bai Ying were here, Master's life force has already burned out, so it's no use.
All the Lingyin Sect cultivators knelt on the ground, each one looking absent-minded, and some even burst into tears.
Qi Haoyuan had already begun to give his last words. He used all his strength to throw a bamboo slip at Zhou Jingmo, saying, "Jingmo, I'm entrusting my future to you."
Zhou Jingmo finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
"Master, it's all my fault."
If he had brought Bai Ying back sooner, perhaps Bai Ying could have taken a look at his master.
But now his master is on his deathbed and beyond saving. Even if a divine physician were alive, he could not revive him.
In an instant, the entire Lingyin Sect was filled with weeping.
Yao Yanliang, who had rushed over with his master, immediately knelt on the ground.
His heart was breaking. He never imagined that his momentary lapse of judgment in stopping Bai Ying would actually harm his master.
"I'm sorry, Grandmaster." Yao Yanliang burst into tears.
Qi Haoyuan closed his eyes helplessly, quietly awaiting death.
But at that moment, everyone suddenly heard a clear female voice: "Why are you crying?"
Bai Ying's words infuriated everyone.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat!"
"Do you even have a heart? How could you say such a thing at a time like this!"
These people were extremely excited. They shouted and yelled at Bai Ying.
Bai Ying glanced at them speechlessly before saying, "Who said he would die?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Jingmo stared at her in disbelief.
