Rong Jiaojiao smiled confidently, feeling the surging power within her.
She knew that this was not only a breakthrough in her cultivation level, but also the beginning of her perfect harmony with the Twelve Yuan Chen Pearls and the Nine Dragon Seal.
Meanwhile, outside the secret realm, Qing Xuanzi gazed at Rong Jiaojiao's silent room, his heart filled with worry.
Within the small secret realm, Rong Jiaojiao retrieved the Twelve Yuan Chen Pearls into her sea of consciousness. However, the next moment, an overwhelming pressure swept through the small secret realm, causing Zi Ling, who was in seclusion on the other side of the secret realm, to cower on the ground in fear.
Yue Ling called out, "Master, your divine sense has broken through to the Celestial Master realm. Quickly sit down and stabilize your realm."
Rong Jiaojiao sat cross-legged in response, and the "Primordial Spirit Pearl" in her sea of consciousness trembled violently, with fine golden patterns appearing on its surface.
The twelve Yuan Chen Pearls transformed into streams of light and disappeared into it. The Yuan Shen Pearl, originally the size of an egg, expanded at a visible speed until it grew to half the size of the Yuan Chen Pearl before stopping.
The "Divine Soul Technique" was running automatically. Seeing that the energy was insufficient, Yue Ling quickly crushed the energy of the demonic split soul and injected it little by little into Rong Jiaojiao's sea of consciousness.
A mysterious rhythm resounded deep within the sea of consciousness, weaving the energy that was frantically pouring in from the outside world into an orderly fashion, like spinning thread.
Suddenly, the spatial patterns surrounding Rong Jiaojiao burst forth with intense light, transforming into silver chains that connected her to the spatial laws of the entire secret realm.
Her consciousness spread like a tide, allowing her to clearly perceive every blade of grass and tree in the secret realm, and even "see" the anxious figure of Qing Xuanzi pacing outside, as well as the conversations and expressions of the Xuanqing Sect disciples in the distance.
"This divine sense can even see the outside world through the secret realm?" Rong Jiaojiao was shocked.
The divine sense power of a Celestial Master was so strong that it far exceeded her expectations.
Just then, Yue Ling suddenly cried out urgently, "Master! The heavenly lightning is coming again! This time it's a tribulation of divine consciousness!"
In the sky, nine purple lightning bolts condensed into enormous runes, each containing the power to destroy a soul.
The moment the lightning struck, the "Primordial Spirit Pearl" in Rong Jiaojiao's sea of consciousness automatically rose, and the golden patterns on its surface transformed into nine golden dragon phantoms, roaring as they charged toward the lightning tribulation.
"Boom!" The first bolt of lightning struck down, shattering the golden dragon phantom, but it instantly reformed.
Rong Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and forcibly activated the power of the Twelve Yuan Chen Pearls. Twelve spatial runes flew out from her sea of consciousness and formed a barrier in the air.
The spatial rift of the Rat rune introduced lightning into the void, the barrier of the Ox rune withstood the impact, and the Tiger rune transformed into a sharp blade to cut through the lightning...
As she battled the lightning tribulation, Rong Jiaojiao's consciousness gradually cleared.
With a clear shout, the power of his divine sense erupted like a volcano, completely merging with the power of the Twelve Yuan Chen Pearls.
As the final lightning bolt struck, she raised her hand and waved it, instantly condensing the laws of space into a shield that completely annihilated the lightning.
As the lightning tribulation dissipated, Rong Jiaojiao slowly opened her eyes.
Silver light swirled in her pupils. She raised her hand and lightly touched the void, tearing through space to retrieve a jade slip—an item she had placed in the alchemy pavilion several miles away.
"Celestial Master Realm... The divine sense can materialize, allowing one to retrieve objects from a distance, and even briefly manipulate spatial domains."
Rong Jiaojiao felt the surging power within her body, and a confident smile appeared on her lips.
She turned to look at the shocked Yue Ling, and said, suppressing her aura, "Let's go, it's time to tell Master this good news."
When Rong Jiaojiao stepped out of the secret realm and came to her master.
Qing Xuanzi looked at his disciple, whose demeanor had changed drastically, and his eyes welled up with tears.
He could clearly feel that Rong Jiaojiao was exerting a strong pressure on him at this moment, as if she could take his life with a wave of her hand.
"Master, I have broken through to the next level. Thank you for protecting me." Rong Jiaojiao stepped forward and bowed, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Qing Xuanzi patted her shoulder with satisfaction: "Good, good! This breakthrough was very successful, judging from the momentum you couldn't control. How was it?"
Rong Jiaojiao laughed and said, "It went smoothly, but I still need to go into seclusion for a while, otherwise people will think I'm showing off if I come out like this!"
"Alright, alright, you go into seclusion first. We'll talk again when you come out."
Rong Jiaojiao hugged Qing Xuanzi's arm and said coquettishly, "When I come out of seclusion, I want to drink the chicken soup that Master makes."
Qing Xuanzi patted her on the head and said, "Alright, I'll leave you two chicken legs."
After saying that, they both laughed. Rong Jiaojiao took out a spirit marrow crystal and said, "Master, do you still need spirit marrow crystals now?"
Qing Xuanzi waved his hand: "No need, I didn't even use up the two you gave me last time before the array plates were fully fused, so I don't need them anymore."
Rong Jiaojiao took out ten Hidden Spirit Grasses and gave them to Qing Xuanzi, saying, "Master, please take these to complete our sect's mission. This will save you from having to draw so many talismans."
Qing Xuanzi glared at her: "Why would we need so many?"
Rong Jiaojiao looked at Qing Xuanzi earnestly and said, "Master, I hope that the Daoist sect will have many, many Celestial Masters, so that if the Heavenly Immortal Mountain's formation collapses one day, we will have the power to resist it."
Qing Xuanzi tapped her forehead: "You're thinking too simply. These Hidden Spirit Grasses can't just be taken by people from our sect. Otherwise, we'll become the sect with the most Celestial Master level experts, and we'll have to take the lead in everything."
"Then what should we do?"
Qing Xuanzi chuckled slyly and said, "Of course, we should share the good fortune."
"Um?"
Rong Jiaojiao rarely saw her master with such a cunning expression. Not understanding what her master meant, she couldn't quite figure it out for a moment.
Qing Xuanzi waved his hand: "Go and consolidate your cultivation. Master will go and talk to the sect leader."
Rong Jiaojiao said "okay" and obediently went into the room. After instructing Yue Ling to activate the barrier, she entered the small secret realm again to start cultivating at ten times the speed.
She didn't care how her master arranged those Hidden Spirit Grasses.
Ten days later, Rong Jiaojiao emerged from seclusion. She had suppressed her cultivation to the early stage of the Profound Master realm. Even so, a nineteen-year-old at the Profound Master realm was still considered a genius.
As soon as he came out, he received several messages. The first one was from Jun Yuangui, who asked: "[You've returned to the Immortal Mountain? Are you about to break through to the Earth Master Realm? Is there anything you don't understand?]"
The second message was from Lin Xiaoman. She asked, "Jiaojiao, are you back? I've broken through to the Earth Master realm and want to come visit you."
The third one was from Mo Bai, and his tone was incredibly smug: "I've broken through to the Earth Master realm, my cultivation is now consolidated, and I've even mastered a new sword technique. When can we spar again?"
The next few messages were from Mo Bai: "Hey, little girl, you're not back yet, are you?"
【Rong Jiaojiao, did you come back to go into seclusion?】
Contact me after you clear customs! I'm planning to go out to sea for some training, do you want to come?
Rong Jiaojiao replied to their message, telling them that she had just come out of quarantine and hadn't decided what to do next yet, and that they were welcome to come visit her when they had time.
The message had barely been sent when someone replied. Feeling the jade pendant vibrate, Rong Jiaojiao opened it to find a message from Mo Bai: "[I was just about to message you. Why have you been in seclusion for so long?]"
