At this moment, the green glow on Yun Hongling's body had reached a dazzling extent. A massive energy formed a cyclone around her, with true qi permeating out, shaking the spatial ripples and spreading ripples far away.
"Another breakthrough, such a monster," many disciples sighed upon feeling the aura from Yun Hongling. In three months, this was her third breakthrough.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound from within Yun Hongling's dantian qi sea, her aura soared like a tornado, with true qi mixed with the energy of heaven and earth rapidly being absorbed into her body. At this moment, her aura had reached the ninth level of Martial Soul in the blink of an eye.
"What a monster."
People exclaimed in astonishment. Compared to this cultivation monster, they were already dragons and phoenixes among men. Yet, in front of Yun Hongling, they felt utterly inferior. Their cultivation speed was increased fivefold in this secret place. But for Yun Hongling, due to her being a tri-elemental martial artist, her speed was increased fifteenfold.
What does this mean? Although it's only been nearly three months, in reality, Yun Hongling had cultivated for forty-five months, nearly four years.
After marveling at Yun Hongling's breakthrough, everyone continued to focus on their cultivation, eager to make the most of the majestic energy in this place to improve themselves.
Inside a cave at the bottom of a pool, the water suddenly began to surge violently, drawing in a continuous flow of air energy from outside the pool, becoming increasingly fierce.
After several hours, the surging of the pool became more intense. From within, several beams of light spread out, shooting directly to the top of the cave. Suddenly, a yellow stream of light shot up from the pool, leaping out in an instant.
"Roar..." A little dragon's massive body emerged from the pool, with a head several meters in diameter, now coiling around the holy vine that bore the Martial Spirit Holy Fruits, emitting a daunting aura that roared through the space, bringing a terrifying pressure.
The little dragon's body kept expanding. Its body, over a hundred meters long, with its huge tail and waist still in the pool, its scales shimmering with light, each absorbing the massive energy.
The pool continued to churn, waves surging out.
Moments later, the little dragon's body had grown to about five meters in diameter, indicating an even more massive body length.
Its sheen became smoother, its aura more terrifying. On the dragon's head, the third eye, which had been closed, began to open.
Surrounded by a mystical glow, the third eye seemed to possess infinite devouring power, separating a small stream of the incoming energy flow into the pool and absorbing it continuously.
"Hiss hiss..."
Out of the pool shot four beams of light, representing the two-meter-sized dual-headed water-fire demon jiao, blood jade demon tiger, taiyin demon rabbit, and inverse scale demon peng, four fifth-order demonic beasts.
"The Demon King is breaking through. Such strong pressure, I thought it was the White Spirit Demon King breaking through," the four demonic beasts looked at the little dragon's body wrapped in flowing light with a mix of surprise and uncertainty, feeling an involuntary pressure in their souls and bloodlines.
"This is the aura of a Demon Emperor," the dual-headed water-fire demon jiao exclaimed, shivering under the pressure of this aura, even their strength couldn't resist being suppressed.
"No, this seems to be the aura of a Spirit Emperor," the taiyin demon rabbit trembled.
"The Demon King is condensing its demon core. We must not disturb it, continue cultivating," the inverse scale demon peng said, and the four demonic beasts continued to dive into the pool.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
The little dragon's aura grew stronger, and its third eye shone even brighter, as if a brilliant light was shooting out.
As time passed, the little dragon's closed eyes suddenly opened, all three eyes visible, letting out a roaring sound...
"Roar..."
This roar, like a dragon chant, spread out wave after wave.
"Eh, there's a demonic beast," eighteen disciples of the Yunyang Sect suddenly opened their eyes, looking around nervously, but saw no trace of the beast.
"That demonic beast's roar was very strong," Dong Pan said, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
"It might be a distant beast breaking through. Let's continue cultivating," Yun Hongling said lightly, her eyes once again focusing forward, with a hint of worry in her gaze.
Inside the pool, in a milky-white world, a pale yellow halo enveloped a figure who was absorbing the pool's energy like a bottomless pit.
Time flies quickly in cultivation. Li Lin, fully immersed in cultivation, forgot about time. This was his first time cultivating in a normal state.
Li Lin's goal was to break through to the sixth level of Spirit Soul. With the energy gathered during the breakthrough, he could continuously devour until he no longer wished to.
Breaking through to the sixth level of Spirit Soul, Li Lin planned to directly devour the power to break through to the seventh level of Spirit Soul. True qi could also break through, by then his cultivation would be greatly enhanced to both the seventh level of Martial Soul and Spirit Soul. As for higher levels, it was not wise to be too greedy, as it might affect future cultivation.
As time passed, everything outside, including the breakthrough auras of the little dragon and Cui Yu, did not affect Li Lin, who was in a complete state of cultivation.
At a certain moment, in the silent milky-white space of the pool, a slight movement finally occurred around Li Lin.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The energy within the pool began to surge again, the energy fluctuations suddenly intensified.
Around Li Lin, the earthy yellow halo was immediately enveloped by an invisible white transparent halo. The energy in the entire pool, as if drawn by some force, began to crazily converge towards the halo, with strands of energy penetrating the halo, almost visible to the naked eye.
In his mind, Li Lin's soul pill spun rapidly, absorbing the spiritual power to nourish itself while also being uplifted by an invisible force.
Li Lin's aura soared, his entire body's pores crazily devouring energy, and the energy shock within the halo became more and more intense.
Thick energy continuously seeped out from the pool water, then surged towards Li Lin within the halo, becoming denser and denser. In a moment, it gathered around Li Lin to the extent that he could not absorb it fast enough.
At this moment, the wild energy continued to converge, and the halo around Li Lin expanded in this violent and dense energy.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound in Li Lin's mind, his aura suddenly soared, reaching the sixth level of Spirit Soul in an instant. The wild energy directly poured into his body, the energy gathering around him shook the entire energy water pool violently, looking extremely spectacular.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A massive energy gathered around Li Lin, forming a vortex. The vortex's rotation speed increased, creating energy waves that fiercely hit Li Lin, emitting loud booming sounds.
"Devour."
At that moment, Li Lin's closed eyes suddenly opened, his hand seals changed, and a smile appeared on his lips. The energy gathering around him was directly devoured.
Inside his body, the five-colored Martial Pill spun rapidly, ceaselessly devouring the wildly incoming energy. This energy, once refined, could transform into both true qi and spiritual power, flowing into the dantian qi sea and the mind.
The majestic true qi flowed through his meridians, which were already wide and robust, but now swelled painfully, showing the energy's ferocity.
In the dantian qi sea, true qi rapidly increased under the crazy surge, quickly reaching the brink of breakthrough. Although originally at the mid-phase of the fifth level of Martial Soul in true qi level, Li Lin's cultivation speed in true qi had been three times faster than in spiritual power. By the time he broke through to the sixth level of Spirit Soul, Li Lin's martial level had reached the peak of the fifth level of Martial Soul.
At this moment, under the refinement of the devouring power, the breakthrough was imminent.
Crazily devouring, crazily refining, at this moment, Li Lin in the pool, brought the miraculous effects of the Yin Yang Spirit Martial Art to the extreme, his cultivation speed incomparable to ordinary people.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound from within the dantian qi sea spread, and Li Lin's aura climbed again, breaking through the sixth level of Martial Soul. With this ascent, he devoured even more crazily.
As time slowly passed, within the secret place, the grey sky had darkened even more, especially around the location of the Martial Spirit Holy Fruits. Perhaps due to the energy fluctuations, the spatial ripples above the mountain kept shaking.
A rich energy fragrance spread out, and on the mountain, the nine small fruits had begun to change from green-red to pink.
"Boom..." A clear sound came from the ground, the entire land shaking violently, the massive mountain trembling.
"Shush shush..."
Eighteen people opened their eyes simultaneously, immediately focusing on the pink Martial Spirit Holy Fruits on the mountain, murmuring, "It's about to ripen."
