1228 Blood Red
When Bai Zhou heard this, he looked at Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen was helpless, but he answered, “I used fifteen hours too!”
“Look!” Bai Zhou stomped his feet agitatedly. “None of you have been in there for more than a day, right? It’s been three days. Could there be any danger?”
Xiao Zhen immediately frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense. With Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian around, nothing will happen!”
In the beginning, Bai Zhou thought so too. However, as time passed and as he was not a cultivator, he knew nothing about advancement, and he could not help but be anxious.
There were two others who were as anxious as him, and they were Irene and Andrew.
The two of them sat at the side and listened to their words like they were heavenly books. Why were they so anxious? They didn’t understand.
“Should we go up and take a look?” Bai Zhou suddenly said. He felt he would go crazy if he waited any longer. He was worried that something had already happened to the Sect Master.
“She can’t be distracted during her advancement!” Xiao Zhen reminded him. “Besides, that room is filled with Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian’s powerful spiritual energy. The moment you open the door, you will be dispersed by their spiritual energy, and your body will turn into ashes that are thinner than after you’re cremated!”
Bai Zhou: “…”
“Brother Bai Zhou, I advise you to wait quietly. The Sect Master might differ from us and needs more time. Before they come out, the only thing we can do is wait quietly!” Si Yue also comforted Bai Zhou’s restless heart.
“Sit down,” Zhi Tong said weakly.
Bai Zhou held his forehead. After thinking about it, he couldn’t do anything else. He was only anxious.
Fortunately, the others’ calm expressions made him feel a little relieved. He walked to the sofa and sat down. Bai Zhou couldn’t help but mutter, “I hope everything goes smoothly…”
In the room, Jian Ai was still advancing. However, her consciousness had already entered the illusory realm, and her body had entered an unprecedented empty shield state. She could not sense the passage of time, let alone know that she had advanced for three days!
Her body was already drenched in sweat. Jian Ai continuously absorbed the genuine energy released by Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian. Because their spiritual energy was too rich, Jian Ai’s skin was burning red and faintly emitting white smoke.
Her body and mind were trying to break through the bottleneck. In the illusory realm, Jian Ai could feel a powerful force wanting to break out of her body and break through the bottleneck to go to a higher realm.
Two days later, this power had already reached its limit in her meridians and limbs. Jian Ai’s entire body was swollen and hot. She felt that her internal organs, skin, and blood vessels were constantly contracting and expanding. That feeling was like a sharp sword that pierced through her heart. It was as if her entire body was no longer hers and she was on the verge of losing control.
The surrounding spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic. Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian felt the agitated airflow and opened their eyes to look at Jian Ai. However, they saw that Jian Ai was drenched in sweat. Her skin had turned blood-red, and it was very terrifying!
Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian revealed looks of horror because the Sect Master’s appearance was too strange. Even if her skin was red from the abundance of spiritual energy, it would not reach this level.
It was a blood-red color as if it soaked her entire body in blood.
At this moment, Jian Ai suddenly revealed a pained expression. The powerful force in her body seemed to have the intention of flowing back because it could not rush out. Jian Ai used all her strength to control it because once this power flowed back, she knew what it meant. She might suffer a backlash from this powerful force and her body would explode and die!
