The rampaging power entered Ji Jiuying's body. She broke out in a cold sweat and looked pained. She quickly circulated her spiritual energy to digest it, and her meridians expanded continuously, breaking through their limits.
Fortunately, she possessed an innate spiritual body and five spiritual roots, allowing her to quickly absorb even the most powerful energy. If it were an ordinary spiritual cultivator, she would likely have already exploded and died.
A quarter of an hour passed.
The sweat on her body had long since dried, her complexion had gradually regained its rosy hue, and the aura surrounding her had also changed. Everyone was overjoyed; they had succeeded.
He exhaled softly, slowly opened his eyes, and smiled slightly.
Middle stage of divine realm!
"Congratulations, girl."
Congratulations, sister!
"Mommy is so great."
"······"
Ye Qingchen looked at her with a smile in his eyes. At this rate of cultivation, she should be able to ascend to godhood in less than two years!
very nice······
The group continued following Li Moning forward, arriving at another secret chamber. This time, however, they were faced with five peak Saint-level spirit beasts. Ji Jiuying, who had just advanced to the mid-stage of the Divine Realm, needed powerful spirit beasts to stabilize her strength.
She challenged one spirit beast by herself, while the others worked together. The peak Saint-level spirit beasts were much stronger than the ones they had just encountered. Among those present, apart from Lan Xi, she had the lowest cultivation level and was the slowest in killing the spirit beasts.
Along the way, Xiao Huang'er and the others tried to help several times, but Ji Jiuying stopped them. Only through adversity can one break through one's limits on the path of cultivation. If she had to rely on others for everything, then she would only have an empty shell, and that was not what she wanted.
Half an hour later, with a loud bang, the huge spirit beast fell into a pool of blood. Ji Jiuying also landed on the ground angrily, drank several cups of spiritual spring water, and her body began to heal itself.
Along the way, they had to kill spirit beasts to pass through each secret room, and each one was stronger than the last. Ji Jiuying also successfully reached the peak of the Divine Realm.
The group arrived at another secret room. Learning from their previous experience, they drew their weapons before even stepping inside. However, this time the room was empty. Nevertheless, they remained vigilant, observing their surroundings.
"It's eerily quiet here, everyone be careful!"
Ji Jiuying used her divine sense to survey her surroundings and said solemnly.
“Hey little girl, you’re not lying to us, are you? We’ve gone up more than ten secret chambers and haven’t even seen a trace of that old thief, but we’ve killed hundreds of those powerful spirit beasts.”
Hei Xiangling looked at Li Moning with suspicion. Li Moning felt a chill and quickly shook her head to explain.
"No, I don't know what's going on either. Usually, these spirit beasts are asleep when I walk here, but I don't know why they're like this today..."
Ji Jiuying looked at Li Moning's expression and it didn't seem like she was lying, but all of this was too much of a coincidence.
Suddenly, Lanxi felt an itch on her feet. She looked down and saw something emerging from the ground. She quickly took two steps back.
"Cousin, what's this?"
The group looked towards the front of Lanxi and saw a black scorpion the size of a palm crawling out.
"Oh, it's just a scorpion."
Hei Xiangling unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, and the black scorpion vanished instantly.
As if sensing something, Ye Qingchen quickly called out, "Everyone, watch your step!"
The words fell.
rustling sound...
The dense, clattering sound echoed in the sealed room, instantly sending chills down one's spine.
Countless black scorpions burst from the ground and slithered rapidly toward the group, causing Lanxi to scream again in fright.
"Oh no, it's a Blood Demon Scorpion!"
When Yingyue's voice came, everyone was shocked. They quickly gathered their spiritual power to knock away the blood demon scorpions that wanted to get close. However, these blood demon scorpions seemed to be inexhaustible. No matter whether they drowned them with water or burned them with fire, their numbers remained the same.
"Everyone be careful, these scorpions are highly venomous."
Lanxi frowned upon seeing this. Her meager spiritual power was of no use. She then flipped her palm over and began chanting incantations and forming hand seals. An invisible array, with herself as the array's core, expanded outwards, and the blood demon scorpions kept crashing into the transparent barrier.
Ji Jiuying and the others also noticed this strange scene and quickly turned around. They frowned slightly and saw that Lan Xi's face was pale.
"Cousins, come quick, I can hold out for a while."
The group arrived around Lanxi, where Blood Demon Scorpions from all directions kept crashing against the invisible barrier.
"Let's go!"
The group's astonished gazes fell upon Lan Xi. It was the first time they had ever seen someone use themselves as the array's core to set up a movable array.
Time was of the essence, leaving them no time to think. The invisible barrier was crawling with blood demon scorpions. The group walked forward step by step. Lan Xi's face was deathly pale, as if she would collapse at any moment.
Ji Jiuying came behind her, protecting her while slowly and continuously surrounding Lanxi with green spiritual energy, which helped Lanxi recover a little.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group finally arrived at the other entrance. The Blood Demons seemed too afraid to step out of the secret chamber and could only reluctantly burrow back underground. In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of Blood Demon Scorpions disappeared.
At that moment, Lan Xi's body went limp and she collapsed into Hei Xiangling's arms.
Ji Jiuying took out some pills and spiritual spring water for her to drink, and after a while, her complexion slowly returned to a rosy hue.
"Cousin, I'm not a burden anymore; I can finally help you!"
“I have never regarded you as a burden. You are really good at array formations. The only shortcoming is that your mental strength is not strong enough. You must cultivate your mental strength while cultivating. Only when your mental strength is strong can your array formations be improved further.”
Lan Xi suddenly understood. She had always felt that her cultivation was a burden, so she had focused all her energy on cultivation and completely ignored her spiritual power.
A powerful array master needs strong mental strength to support them. Just now, she set up that movable array, which was quite incredible, but because her mental strength was insufficient, she could only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before her mental strength was exhausted.
The group continued to follow Li Moning forward. Although they weren't moving very far forward, they could tell they were going uphill.
"Li Moning, haven't you arrived yet?"
"We'll be there soon!"
Upon hearing Li Moning's words, the group became alert. Just then...
ah--
A scream rang out, and Li Moning's soul seemed to be pulled forward by an invisible force.
Ye Qingchen's heart sank. The jade flute flew from his palm like lightning and struck the invisible force. Li Moning was instantly freed from the force and fell to the ground, coughing and clutching her throat.
Looking ahead with lingering fear, for the first time, she felt so close to death. If it weren't for that young master's intervention, her soul would probably have been crushed by that powerful force.
