Before the three could even celebrate, the aura that erupted from Ji Xiaoxiao's body sent Zhishu and Dali flying, while she herself suffered from both ice and fire.
Some went east, some went west, their bodies being pulled by some force. Ji Xiaoxiao was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, blood flowing from her mouth, her taste of rust filling her mouth.
"ah……."
Ji Xiaoxiao spread her arms wide, and a fierce aura suddenly burst forth from within. The surrounding flowers and plants were either dead or injured, with less than one ten-thousandth remaining.
Half an hour later, Dali woke up first. After a moment of confusion, he hurriedly checked on Zhishu and Ji Xiaoxiao, who had fainted to the side.
"Fortunately, my life is not in danger." A stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.
The surrounding area looked like it had been ravaged by a typhoon; trees had fallen, and flowers and plants had withered. It seemed the commotion they had caused earlier was quite significant, and the place was no longer safe. Dali quickly carried one person away with each arm.
A short while later, Zhishu also opened her eyes.
"Dali, how is Miss?" Zhishu's legs felt weak, and her voice was feeble.
"It's nothing, I just fainted from exhaustion," Daryl said. "And you, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Knowing that there was no major problem with his reading, the weakness in his legs was to be expected. However, his heart remained trembling with fear and extreme unease.
"Let's find a place to settle down first. It's not advisable for Miss to move around," Zhi Shu said after thinking for a moment.
Dali agreed with Zhishu's suggestion and found a large hole in a giant tree.
After putting Ji Xiaoxiao down, Dali leaned against the tree wall, too weak to move, and sat down on the ground.
"I'm exhausted." Dali hadn't broken a sweat.
Zhi Shu opened the bundle, which contained many bottles and jars. He mixed several kinds of pills and fed them to Ji Xiaoxiao.
Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Ji Xiaoxiao woke up unsteadily.
"Zhishu, what's wrong with me?" Ji Xiaoxiao felt as if her body had been run over by hundreds of heavy trucks hundreds of times, and every movement felt like her heart and bones were being ripped out.
Zhi Shu stared at Ji Xiaoxiao for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea before slowly saying, "This servant senses the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Miss."
A fluctuation of spiritual energy?
This world is divided into martial arts cultivation and spiritual cultivation. Martial arts cultivation requires martial meridian energy, while spiritual cultivation requires spiritual tendons and spiritual energy. Both spiritual tendons and martial meridians are the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body, which are present from birth, but few people can use them.
If one's talent awakens to martial arts cultivation, then spiritual meridians are just ordinary meridians. If one insists on pursuing the path of spiritual cultivation, martial meridians will also be useless. This is due to the limitations of the human body. Cultivation involves the body absorbing natural energy and storing it within itself. When this energy reaches a certain limit, it will break down and rebuild, welcoming the new and discarding the old, thus successfully advancing to a higher level. However, the human body is only so big; if too much energy is stored, death from a body explosion is inevitable.
The saying "Don't bite off more than you can chew" applies to martial arts practitioners. From ancient times to the present, it has been a well-known and widely accepted rule that martial arts practitioners should not touch spiritual energy, and spiritual practitioners should not touch primordial energy.
The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Ji Xiaoxiao's body indicated that her spiritual tendons had awakened.
When an ordinary person's martial meridians and spiritual tendons awaken simultaneously, death is their predetermined fate.
"Miss, don't be afraid, Dali will help you." Dali, who was just exhausted and lying on the ground, rushed to Ji Xiaoxiao, hugged her tightly, and comforted her.
Patting her chest, Ji Xiaoxiao was naturally no longer afraid.
The original owner cultivated both spiritual and martial arts, ultimately achieving unparalleled divine power!
Don't worry, it's just awakening a spiritual tendon, what's the big deal?
With time running out, Ji Xiaoxiao disregarded Zhishu and Dali's objections and resolutely entered the illusion.
Within the illusion, Ji Xiaoxiao circulated her Yuan Power to aid her spiritual cultivation, with astonishing results. In just one year within the illusion, Ji Xiaoxiao became a second-tier Grand Spirit Master. Unconsciously, these synergies complemented each other during her cultivation, further elevating her martial arts skills and firmly solidifying her second-tier Martial Venerable realm.
Zhi Shu and Da Li were on high alert, keeping a close eye on Ji Xiaoxiao, ready to intervene immediately if she did anything wrong.
"Miss, she has actually fused Yuan Power and Spiritual Power." Dali's mouth was agape.
Yuan power and spiritual power are two different forces, incompatible like water and fire, like a square peg in a round hole. These inherently conflicting forces must be combined and harmonized to cultivate martial meridians and spiritual tendons. Talent and luck are both indispensable.
"As expected of the daughter of the Xie family," Zhi Shu exclaimed.
After a while, Ji Xiaoxiao emerged from the illusion.
At that very moment, the roar of dragons and the cry of phoenixes resounded throughout the heavens and earth, causing the three men's blood to boil.
"The kings of the Death Forest spirit beasts, the Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix, aren't staying in the Miracle. Why have they run to the outskirts of the Death Forest?" Zhi Shu said, clutching her chest with a worried expression.
The Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix were both powerful beings at the level of Martial God and Spirit God. Zhi Shu hoped they were just out for a stroll and not that they came intentionally. As the saying goes, good things don't come true, but bad things do; the Fire Dragon King and the Water Phoenix headed in their direction.
Emerging from the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's jaws, the atmosphere inside the tree hollow was tense, and the three of them stood ready.
"They've arrived," Dali said in a deep voice.
