The Yin Spring cold water, the Grand Yin essence of the jade rabbit, and Shangguan Ruolin's life Golden Core - the three combined forces aiding Shu Han in breaking through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment mid-stage. Having cultivated together with Shangguan Ruolin for half a year, the essence of the Golden Core had already pushed Shu Han to the edge of the bottleneck, right to the threshold.
However, due to Shu Han's five-element spiritual roots and the complex Mystical Dragon Triple Rotation Divine Art, it was extremely difficult for him to succeed. Today, with the assistance of the three types of spiritual power, that seemingly insurmountable barrier was shattered.
The rushing spiritual power, like a roaring flood, expanded in a broader realm before returning to tranquility.
Shu Han took a deep breath, awakening from deep meditation.
Upon awakening, he felt something soft in his arms. Looking down, he found that it was Shangguan Ruolin, who was clinging to him in the Yin Spring. Shangguan Ruolin was soaking wet, her golden silk jade robe clung tightly to her delicate body due to the Yin Spring water, her skin vaguely visible beneath.
However, Shu Han didn't have the time to appreciate the beauty in his arms, because Shangguan Ruolin had frozen stiff in the Yin Spring.
Originally, she needed the Golden Light Divine Incantation to resist the cold even at the edge of the Yin Spring, let alone diving into it.
Shu Han was puzzled, "I could have broken through on my own. There was no need for you to help me like this."
At this moment, the rabbit was squeaking and hopping around frantically on the shore. He quickly picked up Shangguan Ruolin, took her to the shore, and immediately used his magic power to stimulate her circulation and absorb the cold energy. The rabbit, however, ran over and bit the corner of his robe, intending to drag him towards the exit.
"I need to hurry and drive out the cold for her, stop messing around, or I'll stew you!"
The rabbit was almost mad with exasperation. Its little eyes looked towards the sky, where the seven-colored cloud was fading, and the Yin Spring's cold was gradually intensifying. It rushed to Shangguan Ruolin and exhaled another thread of Grand Yin essence.
With this bit of Grand Yin essence, Shangguan Ruolin regained a bit of consciousness.
"Go! Hurry up!"
After uttering these three words, Shangguan Ruolin fell unconscious again.
Shu Han also realized that something was wrong. No wonder the rabbit was frantically trying to drag him to the exit earlier. So, he picked up Shangguan Ruolin, grabbed the rabbit, and fled to the exit, dispelling the Silent Heartbreak Formation.
However, at this time, the maze's formation was beginning to activate. The surrounding walls were flashing with blue patterns, and the walls began to move slowly. The original entrance had already changed.
"Damn it! This maze can trap even Nascent Soul stage cultivators! We must escape before it fully activates."
Shu Han levitated, intending to fly out of the maze on the stone wall. However, he had underestimated the situation. As soon as he took off, he was harshly forced down by the barrier spell, and the strength of this spell was gradually increasing. Soon, he wouldn't even be able to float.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
'No wonder Linlin took the risk to help me break through in the Yin Spring, there wasn't enough time. What should I do now!'
Immediately, Shu Han turned his gaze to the rabbit, thinking.
"Since you've been lingering around here for years, you should be able to lead me to the exit before the formation is fully activated!"
As soon as the rabbit touched the ground, its nose twitched and it immediately began to run wildly within the maze.
Shu Han hurriedly followed, weaving through the stone walls with the rabbit.
Suddenly, he felt a burning pain on his back. He reached back and found that his robe had been frozen into shards. The truly terrifying cold of the Yin Spring was spreading.
"Rogue rabbit, run faster! Otherwise, we'll both freeze to death here!"
However, the rabbit's speed was hindered by Shu Han's magic power. Shu Han withdrew the restriction in its body, freeing the rabbit's power.
Once freed, the rabbit abruptly accelerated, turning into a streak of light weaving through the formation.
Shu Han used the Shrinking Earth into Inches technique to follow closely, finally breaking out of the stone wall maze before the formation was fully activated.
After breaking out, Shu Han breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, he saw blue and white light radiating from the center of the stone formation. The stone walls under the illumination of the blue and white light revealed clear patterns and began to change unpredictably, and the surrounding soil turned into frozen earth under the light.
"Thank heaven we got out in time!"
Shu Han thought, this place is so dangerous, it must be a forbidden area inside the Immaculate Realm. Not having a map of the internal layout at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was initially unaware.
The fading of the seven-colored cloud meant that the interior of the Immaculate Realm had opened, and cultivators in the later stages of the Foundation Establishment from various sects should be exploring the interior, striving for the Heavenly Creation Fluid.
If he wanted to snatch the Heavenly Creation Fluid from these people, a detailed map of the interior of the Immaculate Realm was a necessity.
'But who should I snatch it from? If I'm to snatch it, I need to act fast. Otherwise, when all the cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage from various sects gather on the Divine Mountain, there will be no chance for me to snatch it.'
While pondering future strategies, Shu Han continuously channeled his magic power to the unconscious Shangguan Ruolin.
Looking at Shangguan Ruolin's pale cheeks, he couldn't help but sigh. Initially, it was this Core Formation cultivator who forced him to escort her. But after a series of events, he had received countless favors from her.
Shu Han pressed his cheek against Shangguan Ruolin's frozen face, whispering, "Don't worry, I will get the Heavenly Creation Fluid for you."
At this moment, the rabbit that had run away returned, hiding in the bushes and peeking at Shangguan Ruolin, then at Shu Han. Its small eyes were filled with hesitation.
To Shu Han's surprise, it finally ran over slowly, lying on Shangguan Ruolin's chest to help her dispel the cold.
Shu Han couldn't help but laugh, "So you, the rogue rabbit, also like Linlin. Let me check your gender."
With that, Shu Han grabbed the rabbit, disregarding its squeaking protests, and spread its legs apart.
Releasing the rabbit, Shu Han nodded and laughed, "Well, it's female."
The rabbit seemed to feel greatly humiliated, baring its teeth and squeaking at Shu Han like a small dog.
Seeing this, Shu Han took out a bottle of elixir herbs. The little rabbit's eyes sparkled and it reached out its front paws to grab it.
However, Shu Han caught the rabbit off guard, grabbed it, threw it directly into the black jar, sealed the jar with his magic power, and then threw it into Shangguan Ruolin's jade pendant.
"Hmm, you're a good rabbit, I want one too. Judging by your spiritual power, it should take about half a day to clone another one. Before that, stay in the jar and behave."
The rabbit desperately scratched at the jar from inside, but found it impenetrable. Its despairing eyes shed tears of regret. It seemed to be crying out, lamenting its trust in this vile foreigner.
Shu Han continued to help Shangguan Ruolin dispel the cold from outside.
Thus, half a day passed in a blink.
Shu Han sent his divine sense into the jade pendant and found that there was still only one rabbit in the black jar.
"Could it be that this rabbit has such a large amount of spiritual power? It's been so long, the jar could have created more than sixty medium-grade spirit stones! Could this rabbit's spiritual power exceed that of sixty medium-grade spirit stones? In that case, little rabbit, you'll have to bear with it a little longer and stay in the jar!"
