Chapter 669: The Crown Princess's Breakthrough Failed
When Ning Qingxuan heard Lin Zhen's words, she just thought he was bragging and couldn't understand the deeper meaning at all. She attacked fiercely with a long sword in hand.
Lin Zhen was determined not to let Ning Qingxuan succeed within ten seconds. He waved his spear to defend himself like a mountain, and the two men fought quickly.
Without using star power transfer and without taking the divine power pill, Lin Zhen finally realized how big the gap between him and Ning Qingxuan was.
The opponent's sword first swept away Lin Zhen's Shattering Mountain Spear, and the second sword hit his waist.
After two moves, Lin Zhen was defeated, and less than a second had passed.
Ning Qingxuan beat Lin Zhen to a pulp. The depression she had been feeling these days was finally released. She giggled, "Oh! Aren't you very good? You can't even last two hits."
Lin Zhen lay on the ground with a frown on his face. Doesn't this Crown Princess know how stimulating such words can be to a man?
No, he must persist for three times!
Bouncing up from the ground like a spring, the two men fought again.
A flash of sword flashed past his eyes, and then he was kicked in the abdomen, and Lin Zhen flew backwards again.
Still two times!
Lin Zhen was very unconvinced. Although 2.8 million star powers could not compare with Ning Qingxuan's, could he not last for three moves?
Come again!
There was no concept of time in the broken space, and no one knew how long the battle had lasted. Lin Zhen fumbled and parried left and right, blocking Ning Qingxuan's two swords in a row before he was hit and fell! "Huh! I'm so tired!"
Lin Zhen lay on the ground in a mess, with his spear thrown aside, gasping for breath. This sparring session was much more tiring than the battle.
But he finally made a breakthrough and was able to hold on for three times.
Ning Qingxuan was obviously very tired, so she sat next to Lin Zhen and said casually, "Lin Zhen, I'm hungry."
After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment. When did she become so natural around Lin Zhen? "Okay, eat some of these first, and then I'll get you something to eat."
Lin Zhen took a breath and stood up. He first came to the depression between the two small hills, and simply raised his hand. The gravity absorbed a large mass of soil into the dark star space.
A pit with a diameter of five meters and a depth of one meter was formed on the ground. Lin Zhen then took out a lot of fine sand from the Dark Star space to fill the pit completely. Finally, he took out a lot of empty mountain spiritual springs from the Dark Star, turning this place into a pool.
After thinking for a while, he simply rummaged around in the space ring for a while, found two huge stones from it, and threw a ball of fire at them, turning the stones red, and then buried them at the bottom of the pool.
The temperature from underground was transmitted, and the water temperature in the pool rose slightly, turning into a hot spring.
After finishing all this, Lin Zhen prepared some toiletries and placed them by the sink, then went back to greet Ning Qingxuan: "Crown Princess, go take a bath first. I have prepared a hot spring for you over there."
Ning Qingxuan was fiddling with her hair in annoyance. The natural environment here was too harsh, which was a torture for a girl who loved cleanliness. She didn't expect Lin Zhen to say that he had built a hot spring.
Ning Qingxuan walked over and took a look out of curiosity, and immediately fell in love with this small hot spring.
But she was a little worried about Lin Zhen. The fear of being watched bathing live by Huahua Taisui once again shrouded her mind.
Lin Zhen also understood Ning Qingxuan's psychology. Without waiting for her to say anything, he immediately turned around and left, went under the tree over there and started to prepare something to eat.
Looking up, Ning Qingxuan saw that Lin Zhen couldn't see this side from his angle, and she felt extremely hesitant and struggling.
There was a man next to me, only about ten meters away from me. Should I take off my clothes and take a bath here?
I have a fiancé, and I am the future king of a country. This is really inappropriate.
But then I thought that the two of us might stay here for a very long time, so would I not take a shower just because of this? That would undoubtedly be even more unrealistic.
In the end, her nature of cleanliness prevailed. Ning Qingxuan used her mental strength to always be on guard against Lin Zhen. Then she gently took off her shirt, revealing her beautiful body as white as mutton-fat jade, and slowly entered the hot spring.
Under the tree on the other side, Lin Zhen kept humming some unknown songs, which sounded pretty good. Ning Qingxuan gradually calmed down and closed her eyes slightly. This moment was somewhat warm.
Lin Zhen really didn't want to peek over. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to peek at all. However, the other party was an immortal warrior with stronger mental strength than himself. Lin Zhen decisively decided not to humiliate himself. It was already very good that the two of them could coexist peacefully now, and Lin Zhen didn't want to break it.
Lin Zhen made hot pot today. There were too many ingredients in his space ring, and there were too many edible plants in the Dark Star Space. In addition, there were already many marine creatures in the ocean within the space. He simply asked the Dapeng Bird to catch some for the hot pot, Lingquan Danhuo, and put a few golden pills in to dissolve in the water. This hot pot was simply too delicious.
By the time the hot pot was ready, Ning Qingxuan had already come out.
The Crown Princess changed into a soft aqua blue cotton dress. Her long hair was still wet. As she walked, the scent of flowers lingered in the air, and she exuded a graceful air.
"Come on, please invite my female master to take a seat and taste my disciple's cooking skills."
Ning Qingxuan was now teaching Lin Zhen moves, so naturally she could be considered his master. Hearing Lin Zhen's words, she smiled at him and then sat down.
As the Crown Princess, Ning Qingxuan had eaten delicious food before, but the food she had eaten was not as delicious as what Lin Zhen made.
They had a very happy meal. After the meal, Lin Zhen said to Ning Qingxuan, "Crown Princess, you can rest here under the tree. I'll go over there and take a shower."
Ning Qingxuan nodded. Since Lin Zhen was going to take a shower, she certainly couldn't go back there.
The light in the sky gradually dimmed. The light ball made by Lin Zhen had the effect of automatically brightening and darkening, just like the alternation of day and night.
After a while, Lin Zhen returned. He did not rest, but picked some domain king level star crystals and went under the tree to practice.
"Crown Princess, I was just joking with you before. If there are any star crystals on this tree that you need, you can pick them and absorb them as much as you want."
Ning Qingxuan did not refuse. She was also a warrior and needed to practice.
He smiled and said, "You are quite generous."
Lin Zhen laughed: "Crown Princess, you underestimate me too much. We two may stay together here forever. Why should I be stingy with you? As long as it is what you want, I can give it to you without frowning."
Ning Qingxuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Thinking of how Lin Zhen had flirted with her and then saved her before, her face became a little gloomy.
After a while, she said, "Lin Zhen, we can't stay here forever."
"Of course I want to leave, but the question is how do we leave?"
Ning Qingxuan thought for a while and said, "I want to break through. If I succeed, I will be able to open a path through the space turbulence and return to the metaverse."
"Oh! How long will it take you to break through? How confident are you?" Ning Qingxuan is already an immortal warrior. If she makes another breakthrough, I don't know what realm she will reach. It must not be so easy to achieve.
"I think it's about 30% sure. A month is enough."
"What if the breakthrough fails?"
"If I fail, this is a secret breakthrough. My master told me not to try it lightly. Failure will have some side effects, but I have to try. I can't stay here forever."
"Then I wish you success."
Lin Zhen could roughly understand Ning Qingxuan's thoughts. In fact, the Crown Princess seemed to be a very stable person. She was eager to return to the Yuan Realm because it was inappropriate for her to stay with Lin Zhen.
That's why she thought of a breakthrough and wanted to try to leave in this way, even though she was not very sure.
But Lin Zhen couldn't stop anything, he had no right to make decisions for Ning Qingxuan.
Ning Qingxuan's temporary master only lasted for one day. The next day, she began to prepare for a breakthrough and started to practice wholeheartedly.
Lin Zhen was not idle either. There were many domain king level star crystals here. After hearing some news about the City of Divine Punishment from Ning Qingxuan, Lin Zhen began to practice hard.
The entire universe is so vast, and there are so many geniuses. Currently, Lin Zhen does not even dare to say that he is invincible in the realm of Domain King, let alone in the group of Realm Kings. He still has a long way to go.
Now Lin Zhen is at the fourth level of Domain King. The medicinal properties of the pills he took have not completely disappeared, so he cannot continue to take the pills.
But star crystals can be used. There are quite a lot of star crystals here. Although they are not enough to support him in cultivating to the peak of Domain King, he can still upgrade two or three levels.
If Ning Qingxuan succeeded, he would transplant the small tree into the Dark Star Space. If Ning Qingxuan failed, then with the help of some elixirs, Lin Zhen felt that he could at least reach the seventh level of Domain King within two years.
As for leaving this space, Lin Zhen had some ideas in his mind, but now it still depends on Ning Qingxuan. It would be best if she succeeded. If she failed, Lin Zhen would have to prepare to do it himself.
They practiced every day, and the star crystals of the Domain King Star Realm and the Longevity Realm on the tree were picked and absorbed by the two of them. Lin Zhen quickly advanced towards the fifth level of the Domain King realm.
Ning Qingxuan's momentum became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the day of breakthrough was very close.
Until a whole month later.
After Lin Zhen absorbed five star crystals again, his realm had reached the peak of the fourth level of Domain King.
In another ten days or half a month, he was confident that he could successfully become a fifth-level Domain King.
Ning Qingxuan, who had been practicing under the tree, began to radiate powerful star power. Starlight kept shining on her body, and she was about to break through!
This was also the first time that Lin Zhen saw an immortal warrior break through. The powerful pressure that seemed to be tangible made Lin Zhen almost breathless.
But Lin Zhen keenly noticed that Ning Qingxuan seemed to be running out of energy.
Breakthroughs in secret techniques require a natural process. Ning Qingxuan's current condition is obviously not the best. She is a little anxious to leave, but haste makes waste.
The breakthrough process lasted for an hour, and just when it reached the critical point, Ning Qingxuan's star power was interrupted! Only a weak cry was heard, and Ning Qingxuan, who was like a god before, fell limply.
Lin Zhen, who had been prepared, took a quick step forward and picked up the unconscious Crown Princess.
She was very light, and Lin Zhen could not sense any star power on her.
The secret method failed to break through, and Ning Qingxuan seemed to have lost all her strength!
