After reaching an agreement with Ye Si, Sheng Ning did not leave the active volcano immediately.
The volcano is rich in fire, metal, and earth elemental spiritual energy.
From the moment she stepped into this active volcano, she clearly sensed the exhilaration of her spiritual root.
When she suggested staying for two days, Ye Si looked surprised.
"You said you're preparing to advance to the next level?"
He remembered that Sheng Ning was currently at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and she had only recently turned 16.
Even back in Ye Si's time, a cultivator who reached the Golden Core stage at the age of 16 and showed signs of breaking through to the next level could be hailed as a genius.
Breaking through a realm isn't that easy. In just two days, he didn't even break through a minor realm, but a major one.
He frowned slightly and asked, "Is there enough time?"
Sheng Ning knew his concerns. After all, advancing to a higher realm was not easy. Some people even needed to prepare for a year or two, meditate for several months or even several years, and still couldn't break through to a higher realm.
A slight smile curved her lips as she said, "We should at least give it a try, shouldn't we?"
It's worth a try.
But Ye Si still felt that two days was too short and that Sheng Ning couldn't do it.
It's not that he looks down on Sheng Ning...
Okay, he just looks down on Sheng Ning.
Who told Sheng Ning to scheme against me!
"Aren't you afraid I'll run away with your child?"
Faced with Ye Si's question, Sheng Ning's eye twitched again, "I'll say it one last time, that's my spark, not my seed!"
Ye Si shrugged and said casually, "It's all the same."
This time it was Sheng Ning's turn to grind her back teeth. She looked up at the male ghost in front of her, who was enveloped in the Netherworld Fire, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her solemn face.
“It doesn’t matter if you run away. I still have several senior brothers up there. They are different from me. They don’t negotiate.”
"They only kill people."
As if to verify the truthfulness of Sheng Ning's words, Guan Yunchuan, who was standing next to him, directly fired a laser cannon at the cave.
After watching the cave being riddled with bullets, Ye Si couldn't help but swallow hard, seeing how powerful the laser cannon was.
"You mean your senior brothers all have this?"
“Not only that,” Sheng Ning laughed, “we also broke through the illusion of a Nascent Soul Realm expert and even collapsed the palace of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.”
"Although our cultivation is not as strong as yours, it is still more than enough for us to kill a ghost."
The casual words hit Ye Si hard on the head like a brick.
He immediately abandoned his plan to take the opportunity to escape.
After Guan Yunchuan went up to report on the progress and told his senior brothers about his junior sister's preparation to break through to the next level, Lu Qing'an and the others only showed slight surprise.
"Ah, Junior Sister is about to advance another level?"
"Alright, then let's wait two more days."
"Fifth Brother, would you like some roasted chicken wings? Second Brother just caught a spirit bird that flew out of the volcano; it tastes pretty good."
When Guan Yunchuan saw Yu Ye handing the bird wings to him, he instantly remembered Ye Si's despicable face.
He shook his head. "I'll go down first to protect my junior sister, and then I'll rush back to the Void Swamp to meet up with the people from the Dingtian Sect in two days."
The brothers made up their minds, and with Sheng Ning successfully obtaining the Four Directions Inkstone and still alive, their unease completely dissipated.
In the cave at the bottom of the volcano, Sheng Ning had already sat cross-legged in meditation.
Ye Si sat down next to her, and when Guan Yunchuan returned, he was bored and quickly moved closer.
"What if it takes two months for your junior sister to break through to the next level? Are we just going to sit here and wait?"
He expressed his inner worries, and just now Sheng Ning told him that he had been struck by lightning and sent to a secret realm in the Northern Region.
The opening and closing times of the secret realm are uncertain.
If Sheng Ning stays here for two months, and the secret realm closes by then, they will be trapped again, and who knows when the secret realm will reopen.
Guan Yunchuan handed him the bird wing that Yu Ye had stuffed into his arms, and said coldly, "No, Junior Sister is not a person who goes back on her word."
Ye Si laughed instantly upon hearing this.
He didn't even bother to ask where his bird's wings came from, and just laughed at his blind faith in Sheng Ning.
"If she breaks through a minor realm, that would be fine. But with her talent of reaching the Golden Core stage at the age of 16, she might be able to break through a minor realm in two days."
"But she's about to break through a major realm! Do you know the term 'insurmountable chasm'? The leap from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is as difficult as stepping across an insurmountable chasm!"
"I admit she's very talented, but you can't have such unwavering faith in her abilities!"
Ye Si's predecessor was also a genius, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sit on the throne of the Evil Emperor.
Even for him, it took him almost half a month to break through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage on that continent rich in spiritual energy.
Now, Sheng Ning talks about two days at a time...
He looked up at the rocky sky above him. "Do you know why it's so dark?"
Having just returned from outside the crater, Guan Yunchuan, knowing it was dark outside, nodded, "Because it's already night."
"No, it's Sheng Ning's boasting that makes the sky dark."
As soon as Ye Si finished speaking, he felt the person next to him staring at him.
He turned his head and met the other person's eyes, only to see the latter looking at him with an expression as if he were an idiot.
He frowned and asked疑惑地问道, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because you're stupid."
Guan Yunchuan's words instantly made Ye Si resentful.
A male ghost, its entire body radiating eerie blue flames, suddenly leaped up.
He was still holding up the bird's wing bone, pointing it directly at Guan Yunchuan's nose. "Who are you calling an idiot?"
"There are only three people in the cave. I can't say it's my junior sister, nor can I say it's myself, so I'm saying you're stupid."
Guan Yunchuan rarely had the patience to explain things to a male ghost.
But the male ghost wasn't satisfied. He glared with his ghostly eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "What right do you have to call me stupid?!"
"You should know that I am the Evil Emperor Ye Si!"
Guan Yunchuan didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at his junior sister who was meditating, "My junior sister is the most powerful in the world."
"She said two days, and that's exactly what she meant. There's absolutely no possibility of deception."
So that's why.
When Ye Si was still the Evil Emperor, he was praised by many of his subordinates.
He used to feel good, but now that he sees Guan Yunchuan unconditionally believing in and praising Sheng Ning, he just finds it laughable.
"She's just a little clever and a bit pretty, does that make her worthy of your praise?"
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and he leaned closer to Guan Yunchuan, looking at him with a teasing expression, "Hey? You wouldn't happen to have a crush on your junior sister, would you?"
"Nonsense!" Guan Yunchuan cursed without thinking. "No one in this world can desecrate A-Ning!"
Ye Si shrugged at his embarrassed and angry look. "If you don't like her, aren't you afraid of praising her to death?"
