Unfortunately, her current soul state makes it difficult for her to take action, so she has no choice but to rely on Zaun's help.
Zuan couldn't figure out her true thoughts, and said somewhat guiltily, "But I feel a little awkward with you staring at me like that."
Mi Li spat out, "Who cares about your messy affairs?"
After saying that, the red figure flashed and disappeared in a flash.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure from Mi Li was too strong, and seeing her being all lovey-dovey with another woman in front of one woman made him feel like he was in a chaotic situation.
Just then, Yun Yuqing's coquettish voice rang in my ears: "You're so annoying~"
Hearing her charming voice, Zu'an couldn't help but gently hug her waist; it was truly as smooth as hot spring water washing over delicate skin.
Yun Yuqing did not resist, and gently nestled in his arms, their two young bodies pressing together and quickly heating up.
"Ah Zu~"
"Um?"
Yun Yuqing didn't say anything more, but instead stood on tiptoe and kissed Zu An on the lips. Knowing that he was willing to break with the whole world to save her, she was already filled with tenderness and affection.
The soft, sweet lips were like a battle cry, and Zuan couldn't resist. Water splashed everywhere in the pool.
The ripples in the hot spring grew more numerous and denser, much like the ethereal soul of Yun Yuqing at that moment…
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yuqing nestled softly in Zu An's arms, her fair skin now tinged with a beautiful peach hue, making her even more radiant and captivating.
Appearing and disappearing in the misty steam of the hot spring, she seemed like a fairy from heaven.
"Ah Zu~" Yun Yuqing pressed her face tightly against his chest, while her big, watery eyes looked at the man who had completely conquered her, both in mind and body.
Zu An held her soft body in his arms, his large hand tightly gripping hers. He felt refreshed and invigorated. The entire process had not only been an ultimate enjoyment, but he had also discovered that during the intense battle, he had finally unleashed his full potential and broken through that barrier.
He not only broke through one level in the Primordial Chaos Sutra, but his cultivation level also broke through to the eighth level.
He was originally stuck at the threshold of the seventh-grade peak. This time, when he was pierced through the body by the siege crossbow, an injury that would have killed other cultivators of the same level on the spot, he was only able to survive because of his body tempered by the Primordial Chaos Sutra.
Such a serious injury is enough to make Zuan take that final step.
However, for most cultivators, the transition from the seventh to the eighth rank is a huge hurdle; they must find their own path before they can advance to the eighth rank.
Because the path one seeks is not chosen arbitrarily, but must be in harmony with the origin of the world and at the same time best suit one's own nature. If one chooses poorly, it can easily affect one's future achievements. Therefore, countless people have been troubled by this for a long time since ancient times. Some early geniuses have even wasted their entire lives here, and were surpassed by many people who were not as talented as them in the past.
Although Zu'an's cultivation of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture was not as difficult as others in breaking through to the eighth rank, he still had to find the Dao, but it was much easier for him, as he skipped the long process of condensing true qi.
Although Zuan had some vague ambitions before, they were never very clear.
Just now, as he savored the most exquisite and gentle tenderness of the noble and elegant princess, and thought back to the sense of conquest he had felt in Kunning Palace a few days ago, controlling the empress and letting her live or die at will, he suddenly realized that a true man should ride a horse and whip it, with the spirit to swallow ten thousand miles like a tiger. He wanted to become the most powerful man in the world!
He subconsciously looked towards the direction of the palace. Although he had thought about surpassing the emperor before, the emperor's power and terror still deeply influenced him, leaving a profound imprint on his subconscious.
Thanks to Jasley's mental illusion, he finally had the courage to draw his sword against the emperor and even defeat him head-on.
Although it was all fake, Zuan used it to completely break free from his inner demons.
With a combination of factors, Zuan finally broke through the eighth rank barrier.
Meanwhile, in the palace, the emperor, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the horizon. He was puzzled as to why he had felt a sudden palpitation just now.
You know, it's been so long since he last felt this unpleasant feeling after he achieved great success in his cultivation.
He frowned and called in Eunuch Wen, who was waiting outside: "Little Wen, go and check if anything major has happened in the East recently."
Eunuch Wen hesitated for a moment: "I wonder how far away Your Majesty is referring to?"
It's important to understand that the area of the East is so vast that it's impossible to trace it.
The emperor gave him a cold look and slowly uttered two words: "All of them!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Wen was shocked. He hadn't seen the Emperor so cautious in a long time. Since that was the case, then naturally they should spare no effort to investigate.
Zu'an, who was in the Wu King's Palace, had no idea that his search for the Dao had just affected the emperor and even indirectly affected the fate of many people in the east. But that's another story.
"Ah Zu, you've broken through?" Yun Yuqing was both surprised and delighted. The two were standing close together, and she felt the most obvious transformation in him. Her gaze towards him became more and more admiring. Women are naturally drawn to the strong.
“Yes,” Zuan smiled and put his arm around her, “You deserve a lot of credit for this.”
"What credit did I get?" Yun Yuqing asked, her pretty face showing some confusion.
Zu An leaned close to her ear and whispered something, causing Yun Yuqing's face to flush instantly: "You're so annoying~"
Hearing her coquettish complaint, Zu An felt a surge of heat rise in his lower abdomen. He hugged her from behind, placed his hands under her armpits, lifted her petite and soft body, and then put her down again.
