Chapter 71
Lingxi and Suyuan came to the underground city again, arriving at the "breeding pool" that she hadn't found before.
The formation inside was still in operation, shrouded in black mist and filled with yin energy. The two stood outside the formation, watching countless yin spirits wander aimlessly inside.
As soon as Lingxi stood firm, she sensed the stirring of the living, flesh-and-blood spirits, which immediately swarmed over, their eyes fixed on her with lustful desire.
Su Yuan glanced at Ling Xi with concern.
Seeing that Lingxi seemed to be unharmed, he stared expressionlessly at the ghost in front of him.
Lingxi took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself. Since she started cultivating, she had become much bolder, but looking at the Soul Mountain in front of her, which seemed to be piled up into a mountain, and seeing all the lives lost, her heart was heavy.
Without saying a word, she cast a spell, enveloping her entire body in a protective shield, and stepped forward into the formation.
"Hehehe..."
A dense, oppressive aura filled the air. Upon entering, one felt the bone-chilling cold, as if walking into the dead of winter while wearing summer clothes. The temperature difference between inside and outside was so great that even Lingxi, a cultivator, couldn't help but shiver.
The environment was incredibly dark, and the strong smell of blood almost made Lingxi vomit.
She quickly held her breath.
"Peng Peng... Zzz..."
As the spirits rushed toward her without any awareness, they were continuously dissolved by the array on the protective shield.
Thinking of the last remaining bolt of lightning.
She finally understood why there were two paths.
Lingxi closed her eyes and silently mourned the victims inside. There were too many evil spirits, and the souls that had been exploited were severely damaged and could no longer return to the Spirit Sea.
The eerie howling sound continued in my ears.
Lingxi's fingers trembled slightly as she touched her brow.
As a golden bolt of lightning appeared, the pitch-black room was filled with golden light, followed by a deafening explosion.
Rumble!
The sound was enormous.
The entire underground city shook for half a minute.
The evil, its blood seeping into the mountainside, was finally brought to a bloody end.
In the dimly lit room, all evil was swept away by the thunder.
Nothing was left.
Those tormented souls also vanished.
Lingxi looked at the messy scratch marks remaining on the wall and fell silent.
Su Yuan quietly approached and followed her, gazing ahead.
"They're not dead!"
Su Yuan looked down at her, "Do you remember what color that bolt of lightning was?"
Lingxi asked in confusion, "Golden."
"The ruthlessness of the wealthy represents destruction and rebirth."
Lingxi murmured: Rebirth!
"Heaven cherishes life, so don't overthink it; everything is preordained."
Su Yuan looked at her expression and, seeing that she was feeling better, pulled her around and took her to a high place in the sky.
Lingxi stood beside him.
Looking down at the masses of people below.
Lily of the Valley Maria Hospital
In a hospital room, a woman on the bed was fast asleep with her brows furrowed.
Suddenly the door opened, and a tall man walked in cautiously. He didn't say anything, pulled up a stool and sat down by the bed, standing guard beside the woman.
Jin Li had been sleeping very lightly these past few days. When she opened her eyes and met the man's tearful gaze, she was still somewhat incredulous. She blinked, and when the man's figure was still there, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
"Ali, I'm back, don't cry anymore..."
Jin Li sat up, punched Li Yuncheng several times, touched his newly grown stubble, and then suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
"Where did you go? I was so worried about you, boohoo~"
Li Yuncheng pulled her into his arms tightly.
"I'm back. I'm sorry to have frightened you and the baby."
"Waaah..."
Meanwhile, in S City
An Ruo secretly returned home and gathered evidence against the scumbag and bitch couple. To go all the way, she sent them to work on sewing machines.
Once everything had settled down, An Ruo walked out of the courthouse, feeling somewhat lost, unsure of who to share her feelings with.
She turned on her phone, swiped down a few times, looked at the familiar profile picture, and then silently turned off her phone.
She no longer had the right or the face to go to Lingxi.
The Guiming Cult was completely wiped out, and the remaining minor members were also severely suppressed by the state.
...
The threat has been dealt with.
Lingxi and Suyuan had just returned to the backyard of Linxi Cave.
Just as they caught their footing, two golden beams, one large and one small, drifted down from the sky. The larger beam entered Lingxi's body, while the smaller beam circled around Suyuan, as if it were unwilling to enter Suyuan's body.
When Lingxi saw that golden light, she knew in her heart that it was the golden light of merit.
It is a reward bestowed by Heaven.
As soon as the golden light of merit entered her body, she could clearly feel the loosening of her cultivation level. Even the hidden injuries she had suffered in the battle against Cang Min were completely healed. Her whole body felt warm and comfortable.
Su Yuan could clearly feel the faint pressure dissipate.
As an outsider, he has finally obtained a permanent residency permit.
His eyes were like water, reflecting the woman's figure in the shimmering light. His wandering heart seemed to find its place and settle down.
...
Time flies, years pass like a river.
Fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Yun Qingzi, the bottom-ranked member of the sect, has reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, while Jin Moli has officially entered the Golden Core stage.
Upon hearing the news that their master had emerged from seclusion, the two of them naturally rushed over early.
Jin Moli's face had long since lost its childishness, and she had grown into a beautiful young woman. With the increase in her cultivation and the extension of her lifespan, this youthful appearance would accompany her for hundreds, or even thousands of years.
Jin Moli saw Yun Qingzi, nodded and smiled, "Junior Brother".
"Senior sister~ It's been a long time."
It is said that cultivation knows no time. Jin Moli broke through to the Golden Core stage, and ten years had passed outside, but for cultivators, it was only a fleeting moment.
"I heard that the spirit energy generator is going to be upgraded?" Jin Moli was almost dumbfounded by the upgrades and changes outside when she came out.
The spiritual energy has been fully revived for less than fifteen years.
The scientists were like they were on steroids, with new things popping up one after another, almost dazzling her.
Yun Qingzi calmly nodded: "It's out, the size has become smaller, and it's suitable for family use."
Jin Moli nodded.
Staring at the water lily that was almost growing into a tree trunk, she couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia as she thought of the time when it was first planted.
She touched the translucent golden fruit hanging on it and sighed, "I used to think this grass wouldn't last long, but now it's so tall..."
Yun Qingzi also thought of the past, "Back then you were just a child, now you're an adult..."
"yes……"
"Woof woof!"
Suddenly, a noise came from inside.
The two creatures, which had already sensed the presence inside the gate, flew out from within, their majestic figures riding on white clouds. Below them, two giant beasts of similar size leaped out and pounced straight at the two.
Two colossal beasts, almost as tall as a human, charged towards them. The two men stood still, calmly waiting for the two tanks to rush over.
"Waaah..."
Yun Qingzi and Jin Moli simultaneously patted the enormous dog's head.
Jin Moli vigorously rubbed its prickly fur and said, "Taiji, you little glutton, you're almost as big as a water buffalo now."
Liangyi: "Woof..."
It sat on the cloud and let out a howl.
The two soldiers below reluctantly straightened their bodies and led the two inside.
This Chinese-style villa, which is more than twice the size, is now only inhabited by Master and Senior Su Yuan. They don't usually come over to disturb them.
Lingxi: "You've arrived~"
"Master!"
After respectfully greeting her, Yun Qingzi sat down on the sofa opposite her master.
Just like when she was a child, Jin Moli clung to her while Senior Su Yuan was away, saying, "Master, I missed you so much~"
The golden light of merit from that time allowed Lingxi to break through her cultivation realm at a rapid pace in the years that followed. In just a few decades, she was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Lingxi went into seclusion for a long time until her aura stabilized before informing her disciple that she had emerged from seclusion.
She hugged her eldest apprentice and told him some news.
"I plan to travel across the void with your senior Su Yuan to find the Canglan Realm."
Jin Moli frowned: "Ah, it's so dangerous outside. Master, you're only at the Nascent Soul stage."
Yun Qingzi was also a little worried, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she just sulked.
Don't worry~
"Your senior Su Yuan must have been confident to take me with you. Once I'm stronger, I'll come back and take you out to see the world."
"Alright, Master, please be careful, it's chaotic outside!"
Jin Moli finished speaking with great difficulty.
Lingxi patted her head and said, "You two can focus on your cultivation and wait for me to come back."
"Um."
After so many years, Su Yuan has recovered to its former glory.
Its main body had grown into a towering tree, covering the original backyard. Lingxi came to its main body, and a clear, clean branch bent down, inviting her to sit on it.
Lingxi gladly accepted the invitation and came to the tree canopy.
"Rustling sound~"
The emerald green leaves hanging from the tree trunk swayed in the wind, making a soft rustling sound.
Lingxi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Su Yuan appeared beside her, pulled the woman into his arms, and whispered, "Aren't you going to say hello to them?"
Lingxi leaned back, resting her head on his chin, and smiled: "No, I hate farewells the most."
"good!"
Su Yuan held her close, and a surge of power welled up within him.
The roots of the towering divine tree continued to extend into the void, intertwining and contracting. In just a few breaths, a passage that allowed the two of them to walk side by side unfolded before Lingxi.
Outside the passage, it was pitch black.
Su Yuan stood up, took Ling Xi's hand, and said softly, "Let's go!"
"Uh-huh."
The two walked straight into the passage. Before entering, Lingxi glanced back, then smiled and stepped forward.
The world of cultivation!
She's here!
...
