Chapter 189: A New Challenge
When Su Zhengji directly confronted her, Cheng Yulan's clear eyes narrowed slightly, and the surrounding formation immediately changed according to her will. A dense, light veil-like moon-white mist condensed out of thin air, blocking the swiftly approaching blade aura.
If they were outside the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm, Cheng Yulan would certainly not dare to fight against Su Zhengji. After all, he was a figure at the half-step Golden Immortal level. However, inside the realm, everyone's cultivation was limited to the peak of the Immortal Transformation realm, so there was no need to be overly concerned.
"...If only we could keep this old ghost in the secret realm forever. Unfortunately, he definitely has a substitute death jade talisman. Killing him would only result in him resurrecting unharmed. It's a pity." Cheng Yulan pondered with a hint of regret. She was about to counterattack when a faint brilliance flashed across the dome, and a thin and transparent light curtain descended, separating them from the disciples of the Shadow Assassin Temple.
"..." Su Zhengji's expression changed slightly. The Tower Spirit's reaction was an obvious warning. If he continued to entangle himself, who knew what would happen next.
"Forget it, consider yourselves lucky this time." The core elder of the Shadow Assassin Temple snorted and no longer attacked. The current priority was to seize opportunities, and they couldn't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture.
The surrounding cultivators also calmed down and used their own proficient Divine Abilities or Law Treasures, making every effort to snatch the clear-colored rain threads that fell from the dome. The scene became somewhat chaotic for a while. However, no one dared to fight without authorization.
As for the area within thirty li around Qin Muling, due to the coverage of the formation, all the rain threads that fell were taken and divided among the three of them. Even if other cultivators were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to come over and claim a share.
The light-colored rain threads drizzled for a quarter of an hour before gradually stopping.
In terms of total quantity, this rainwater could fill a lake. However, when divided among nearly ten thousand cultivators, each person didn't receive much. Except for Qin Muling and the two senior sisters who reacted quickly and seized more with the help of the formation.
"It's quite dangerous," Cheng Yulan said with joy and worry. "If there are similar opportunities in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy them. Otherwise, I will inevitably fail to suppress my cultivation and accidentally break through."
Her current realm was already at the peak of the Origin Immortal level, and she was only a step away from the threshold of True Immortal. She could break through at any time, so she had to find a way to tightly suppress it.
After all, she participated in the Dao Court Immortal Gathering as a disciple of the younger generation, unlike those guardian disciples whose cultivation was sealed. If she broke through and became a True Immortal midway, according to Dao Court's past practices, she would automatically lose the qualification to continue participating. Whatever opportunities came later would have nothing to do with her.
Yu Binghua's eyes flickered as she smiled mischievously. "It seems that before the Immortal Gathering ends, Senior Sister, you won't be able to cultivate with Junior Brother. Otherwise, if you break through, who will you reason with?"
Her true cultivation was much lower than Cheng Yulan's, and she was far from breaking through to a new realm. It was naturally easier for her to suppress her cultivation, so she felt no pressure at all.
"I understand that. It's all your gain anyway!" Cheng Yulan responded irritably, feeling extremely frustrated in her heart. Could it be that in the future, she would only be able to watch while this brat cultivated with her Junior Brother? Just thinking about it made her feel annoyed.
"The effectiveness of this rain and dew is quite good. If there could be more, my cultivation will definitely be further enhanced."
Qin Muling wisely changed the topic, so as to prevent the two senior sisters from arguing again. It was not pleasant for him to be caught in the middle, and it wouldn't be appropriate to help either of them.
Yu Binghua was indeed attracted and asked, "Junior brother, how much has your cultivation increased?"
"Probably two small realms. Both the physical body and the strength of the divine soul have improved. The changes in destiny and fortune are not yet apparent, but it should be beneficial."
Qin Muling said that after the baptism of this clear rain and dew, his current cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Heart Demon Realm, with about half of the physical body and divine soul strength increased. It was quite a pleasant surprise.
It should be noted that his innate aptitude was already superior to those so-called monstrous geniuses. The refinement and tempering of the divine soul and physical body had already reached a perfect state that the current realm could achieve. It was almost impossible to make further progress, but he didn't expect the effectiveness of this clear rain and dew to be so miraculous.
Of course, this was because Qin Muling had given most of the rain and dew to the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed. Otherwise, the degree of improvement might have been even greater. The advantage was that the eighth Azure Lotus leaf shadow was already faintly visible and would soon fully take shape.
Moreover, the efficiency of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed in absorbing the essence of spiritual energy and the essence of the Dao had further improved. This directly affected the speed of Qin Muling's cultivation improvement. With this trend, the threshold of the Destiny Realm would not be too far away for him.
While enjoying the benefits was pleasant, Qin Muling still didn't forget his goal of catching up with his senior sisters as soon as possible. This was the pride of being a man, even if his senior sisters doted on him.
"Only two small realms?"
Cheng Yulan was surprised and also shocked by the talent of her junior brother. If it were another grassroots genius, it would be possible to directly advance by one major realm. Qin Muling's current state could only indicate that his foundation and talent were exceptionally strong, making it particularly difficult for him to advance.
Yu Binghua touched Qin Muling and smiled softly, "If we could bring this tower back with us, we could constantly benefit from the Good Fortune and inspiration in the clear rain and dew. Not only would our cultivation progress rapidly, but it would also be possible to create a batch of monstrous geniuses."
Qin Muling's eyes brightened, and he thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head with some regret, "It's not easy. With the rank of this Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda, at the very least, it has reached the pinnacle of an Acquired Spiritual Treasure. It might even be an Innate Spiritual Treasure. It's not easy to gain its recognition."
Cheng Yulan narrowed her beautiful eyes, hugged Qin Muling, and kissed him, saying, "If anyone here has the most hope, it's only you, junior brother. Don't worry, when the time is right, we can give it a try. What if we succeed?"
Qin Muling nodded and didn't say anything more.
After the rain and dew disappeared, nearly ten thousand cultivators silently digested what they had gained. After waiting for a while, changes occurred in the field again.
Qin Muling's perception was the most acute. He felt a kind of peculiar Dao rhythm emanating from the depths of the clear radiance above the dome. It seemed to pass through all the cultivators in the field, slow yet fast. In an instant, it was as if everyone's secrets had been seen through by the mysterious tower spirit.
"What is it trying to do?"
Qin Muling calmly looked around and found that the other cultivators also sensed something, but only about one-seventh of them were aware. The rest looked confused, as if they didn't understand what had just happened.
Qin Muling instantly understood that this was another filtering mechanism of the tower spirit. Any cultivator who sensed something belonged to the group with higher foundational aptitude, profound potential, and a greater chance of further advancement.
As for the others... since they had no reaction, they would soon face the fate of being eliminated.
