"Gurgle."
Bai Hao swallowed hard.
Su Yuewan held him like this, the beauty in his arms, her soft and fragrant body making his heart pound.
What does this woman mean?
I don't think I did anything wrong, did I?
Although it felt good to have a beautiful woman in his arms, Bai Hao never believed that Su Yuewan would treat him so well; he was sure she had some ulterior motives.
Or was Su Yuewan really so worried about him that she was about to cry?
"Um, I'm fine now, you don't need to worry." Bai Hao hesitated for a moment, then reached out to pat Su Yuewan on the back to comfort her.
But suddenly, Su Yuewan bit him hard on the shoulder!
"Ah—! What are you doing?!" Bai Hao, who was trying to comfort her, pushed Su Yuewan away and quickly rubbed his shoulder, where a row of neat teeth marks could be seen even through his clothes.
"Are you a dog?!"
"This is the price you pay for deceiving my feelings." Su Yuewan snorted coldly, turned her pretty face away, and walked away with her hands behind her back, taking small, hopping steps.
He seems quite happy?
[Damn, you're so happy after biting me? You definitely did it on purpose!]
Bai Hao grimaced in pain, but still followed after him while rubbing his shoulder.
Throughout the journey, Su Yuewan didn't say a word to him or give him a chance to speak. She only turned her back to Bai Hao, hopping around like a rabbit.
Bai Hao felt very wronged.
Instead of being punished by the enemy, they were bitten by their own people; it's a complete betrayal.
"It seems we still can't trust this woman too much to do anything good in the future," Bai Hao muttered to himself.
...
Upon returning to Luohai Sect, Bai Hao's blood-stained appearance startled many people. He had to explain himself at length before he could finally escape.
Su Yuewan went straight back to Qianling Peak, while Bai Hao went to the pool behind the mountain, intending to wash up there and then go into the blessed land to cultivate.
Although he has only cultivated inside once so far, the results have already benefited him greatly.
"Ah Jin, how's your training going today?" Bai Hao took off his blood-stained shirt, revealing his well-built muscles—don't let his status as a cook fool you, he does a lot of work every day.
Water splashed across the pool.
"It's still the same, it didn't reach that kind of soaring to the sky you described." The golden scales swayed their tails gently, their voices soft, sweet, and very pleasant to hear.
If Bai Hao hadn't known it was a fish, he would have completely mistaken it for a girl.
That sound is just too overpowered.
“Cultivation requires perseverance. After all, dragons are among the most powerful divine beasts in the world. If you, a goldfish, want to become a dragon, you will naturally have to go through much more trials.” Bai Hao said, soaking his clothes in the pool, with bloodstains slowly flowing down the water.
"I'm going into the blessed land for a bit. As usual, you stay here and keep watch to make sure no one else comes in," Bai Hao instructed. After receiving Jin Lin's consent, he plunged into the pool.
...
A blessed place.
This place remains a fairyland, where sunshine and clouds always coexist in the sky, bright but not intense, and the surroundings are shrouded in ethereal mist, unchanged over time.
Bai Hao was still meditating and cultivating in the same old spot, quietly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and feeling the true energy within his body gradually filling up.
His cultivation progress was visible. In the system panel, there was a pattern similar to a mobile phone battery indicator. As he continued to absorb spiritual energy, the battery's charge level was slowly increasing.
He is currently in the middle stage of the second realm, and the next stage is the late stage of the second realm. He has already reached halfway through the process and is growing at a visible rate.
In less than half an hour, Bai Hao reached the late stage of the second realm and was about to break through to the third realm!
Moreover, the speed of these three realms is also visibly increasing slowly. Although the speed is not fast, this kind of cultivation, which allows one to see their own cultivation level increasing, is still quite rewarding.
Moreover, these three realms don't seem too difficult; they were almost complete in less than an hour.
But in the final stage, I got stuck and couldn't get past it.
No matter how much true energy Bai Hao absorbed, he couldn't take the final step.
"Won't this get me stuck at this last step?"
Bai Hao was very depressed.
It is said that the most difficult thing on the path of cultivation is not the accumulation of realms, but the breaking through of shackles.
But doesn't he have a system? Does having a system mean he still has to suffer this trouble?
"System, why can't I log in?" Bai Hao couldn't help but ask.
The system said, "Because in the Divine Radiance Continent, the Three Realms are already the peak, and the host cannot reach a realm beyond the limit."
"Restrictions? The third realm is the peak? What kind of ranking system is this?" Bai Hao was speechless.
He had only just advanced to the next level, and you're already telling him he'd reached the peak?
What a joke! He's not that powerful.
System: "This is the orthodox realm classification. The first realm is equivalent to the Qi Gathering stage, Foundation Building stage, and Body Tempering stage; the second realm is equivalent to the Spirit Integration stage and Knowledge and Action stage; and the third realm is equivalent to the Supreme Realm and the Ineffable Realm."
Bai Hao: “…”
"So, in other words, I've already reached the cultivation level of the Knowledge and Action Realm?"
System: "Yes, because the Supreme Realm and the Ineffable Realm require certain opportunities, the host cannot advance to them for the time being."
"Then why don't I feel like I have the power of the Knowing and Acting Realm?" It wasn't that he didn't want to believe it, but rather... he really didn't feel like he had the power of the Knowing and Acting Realm.
Otherwise, he would have fought Du Shanhai directly earlier, instead of feeling so frustrated.
But now that I think about it, Du Shanhai ran away inexplicably, probably because he sensed Bai Hao's cultivation level and was wary of him.
Even if they are all at the Knowledge and Action Realm, they are still just at the Knowledge and Action Realm. It shouldn't be enough to scare Du Shanhai, right?
Or is it that the Knowledge and Action Realm produced by the system is too powerful?
Yes, that should be it.
"Achieving peace just like that? That's too easy." Continuing to meditate was pointless, so Bai Hao simply got up and loosened his bones.
Reaching peak strength so easily is just too boring.
What use is this blessed land then?
That's such a waste.
However, Bai Hao thought about it carefully again. If it weren't for this blessed land, he wouldn't have been able to reach the peak of the second realm so quickly.
Therefore, it shouldn't be said that this blessed land was wasted, but rather that it was incredibly powerful, allowing him to reach an unprecedented peak in an instant.
It's not that I can't accept it, I guess it's barely acceptable.
"It's time to go out."
He stayed there for an hour and a half, not long.
However, since continuing to cultivate here won't lead to any further progress, there's no point in staying here.
Let's go out early, otherwise Su Yuewan will look for him again like last time and get angry because she can't find him.
