As each clone merged with her, A Yao's cultivation level, which was originally at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, continued to improve. She went from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, then to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, then to the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and then broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Even after reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, her cultivation continued to improve, eventually reaching the Great Perfection of the late Nascent Soul realm. Then, A Yao's entire body shone with a brilliant five-colored light, and golden lines appeared on her fair skin. These lines then transformed into tiny golden runes.
Her aura grew stronger and stronger, her momentum continued to rise, and her spiritual pressure became increasingly intense. Finally, she broke through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage and entered the Void Refinement stage.
A five-colored rainbow shot from her cave into the sky, and a five-colored phoenix with a body hundreds of feet long appeared in the sky. As soon as this huge five-colored phoenix appeared, the surrounding sea area of tens of thousands of miles was illuminated with dazzling colors, and the sky above the vast sea was filled with five-colored clouds.
Furthermore, an incomparably powerful aura of the Void Refinement stage swept across the sea like a storm, and all the cultivators and other beings in the Bitter Sea felt this powerful aura.
Many cultivators stood on reefs, in the sea, on ships, or in the clouds, gazing in the direction of Crescent Island, each one trembling with fear.
This...this aura...
Which old monster in the Void Refinement stage is it?
Because A Yao achieved the Void Refinement stage through a secret technique, the resulting phenomena were different from those of ordinary cultivators who successfully broke through to the Void Refinement stage.
When a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, their nascent soul transforms into a primordial spirit. After reaching the Void Refinement stage, the primordial spirit becomes several times stronger than in the Nascent Soul stage. At this stage, the primordial spirit can be called the "prototype of the Dharma Body".
Having successfully entered the Void Refinement stage, A Yao took out the pills she had previously refined from her storage bag. Dozens of bottles and jars of different colors floated in front of her. After the bottles and jars were opened, colorful pills flew out one by one, arranged neatly.
Ayao opened her mouth, and pills automatically jumped into it.
After eating about ten pills like candy, Ayao meditated and circulated her internal energy to digest the medicinal effects. She then continued taking the pills for several days, successfully advancing from the early stage of the Void Refinement realm to the middle stage.
After entering the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, A Yao took out the drop of blood that Wei Linglong had given her and tried again, attempting to use the bloodline resonance to track down Lou Munan's location.
This time, she first saw a blood-red mist, within which there seemed to be a huge phantom. Ayao tried her best to let her divine sense penetrate the blood-red mist, and finally succeeded.
She saw a huge, blood-red planet floating in space, glowing with an eerie crimson light. Just as she was about to see more, the scene before her vanished.
Ayao sat cross-legged on the futon and murmured, "Could he be healing on some planet in the Eternal Starry Sky?"
Although we saw some things, it was as if we hadn't seen anything at all.
She didn't know where that planet was located, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to get there. However, Ayao was still overjoyed because she had actually tracked down some information, indicating that Xu Fengzhi was still alive! He was alive! He was alive!!
"He's alive! He's alive!"
Ayao happily muttered to herself.
No matter where he is, she will find him one day.
She needs to cultivate and strive to improve her strength, whether it's to save Xu Fengzhi or to save her master.
Ayao composed herself and continued taking the pills she had prepared beforehand. She had been cultivating on this island for two months, only stopping after her strength reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
When she left, Ayao created eight clones. These eight clones were different from the previous ones. The attributes of these eight clones were the same as the original body, and the five elements within their bodies had been unified.
These eight clones have varying levels of cultivation, with the weakest being at the late Golden Core stage and the strongest at the early Void Refinement stage.
After A Yao split into eight clones, her strength dropped from the peak of the mid-stage Void Refinement to the mid-stage Void Refinement. A Yao didn't want others to know that she had advanced to the Void Refinement stage, so her main body concealed her strength and remained at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
One of her clones remained on Crescent Island, while the other seven flew off to different places, traveling throughout the Canglan Realm, while her main body flew towards the Shenmeng Sect.
————
This is A Yao's first time visiting the Divine Dream Sect, in both her past and present lives.
She sat in a grand hall, looking out at the towering mountains, floating islands, steep peaks, and wisps of cloud.
She arrived at the gate of the Divine Dream Sect, and as soon as she identified herself, the guards immediately went to report. Sect Master Xu was not there, but Wei Linglong was. Upon hearing it was her, Wei Linglong immediately came out to greet her. Ayao had come to the Divine Dream Sect to tell Wei Linglong that Xu Fengzhi was alive.
"You mean, Feng'er is alive?" Wei Linglong was thrilled to hear A Yao's words.
Ayao nodded: "He's alive, but I don't know where he is. I can't find him yet, but I'm sure he's still here."
Wei Linglong looked at A Yao and asked, "Did you...did you go to see that Senior Feng?"
Ayao nodded: "Yes, Senior Feng confirmed it for me."
Wei Linglong's face lit up with joy.
Wei Linglong hadn't believed Xu Fengzhi was dead at first, but as she raised her hand, the life lamp reappeared in her palm. With A Yao's words and the burning life lamp, she was even more convinced that her son was alive.
Ayao sat there quietly, and Wei Linglong remained silent for a long time. After a while, she said, "Your Uncle Xu isn't here. He went to the Eastern Region to find someone to see if they could divine Feng'er's whereabouts. This is your first time at the Divine Dream Sect. Would you like to visit Feng'er's cave?"
Ayao looked at her in surprise: "Is that okay?"
Wei Linglong smiled and said, "Of course."
She stood up, and A Yao followed suit, walking outside. The two transformed into two long streaks of light and flew towards Xu Fengzhi's cave.
Flying over beautiful mountain peaks, they arrived at a floating island in the clouds. Xu Fengzhi's cave was located here. The island was filled with countless exotic flowers and rare herbs, with pines and bamboos vying for beauty and a lingering fragrance.
"Greetings, Madam!"
A group of maids immediately bowed when they saw Wei Linglong and A Yao approaching.
Ayao sized up the maids. None of them had high cultivation levels, but each one was extremely beautiful. Recalling the rumors about Xu Fengzhi, Ayao couldn't help but make some connections.
She followed Wei Linglong forward without making a sound. After she passed, the maids began to exchange curious whispers, wondering about A Yao's identity.
Ayao followed Wei Linglong into the main hall, whose furnishings were quite elegant. Wei Linglong then began to explain to Ayao where they were walking.
"It's just a place where the wind often rests."
"This potted plant was made by Feng'er herself."
“Look at that plum tree outside, it was planted by Feng’er when she was a child.”
Ayao and Wei Linglong stood on the steps in front of the courtyard, gazing at the red plum blossoms in the distance. Wei Linglong seemed to be recalling Xu Fengzhi's childhood, a gentle smile on her face. Ayao, thinking of the maids, felt a little uneasy, so she simply asked, "Those maids just now..."
