“This…”
Su Yi revealed a surprised expression.
He had never thought that Nie Ling’s strength was also at the late stage of the qi condensation realm.
After all, she had never revealed her strength in front of him, and he had never thought about it from the beginning.
Why would a business partner need to delve into their strength?
“How is it, fellow Daoist Su? Do you believe me now?”
Nie Ling’s smile was thick, and her gaze did not conceal anything as she looked straight at him.
Being stared at like that, looking at the hope in that gaze, how could he bear to refuse? Moreover, a beauty accompanying him on the road would be very nice indeed..
“Since fellow Daoist Nie thinks so highly of me, I naturally won’t refuse a beauty’s invitation. Then, we’ll go to the great desolate region together,” Su Yi said with a faint smile.
Nie Ling’s face beamed with joy when she heard this. She leaned forward and looked somewhat charming as she softly whispered in Su Yi’s ear, “fellow Daoist Su, are you agreeing to this?”
“Of course, of course.”
Feeling the fragrance of the beauty’s body, he hurriedly took two steps back, his breathing slightly hurried.
Was he being flirted with?
“Then I don’t know when you’re going to the central plains. If you’re not in a hurry, can you wait for me for three days? I still need to make some arrangements for Shangyang city before I can leave.”
Nie Ling looked at Su Yi, who had taken two steps back and was somewhat at a loss, and said with a smile.
“Three days is fine.”
He touched his nose. He did not know how to react to Nie Ling’s actions just now.
Just as Nie Ling thought, in terms of relationships, Su Yi was even more naive than her younger brother.
“Alright, it’s decided then. You must wait for me.”
Nie Ling smiled lightly and turned around. She walked out of the private room with light steps as if she was in a hurry settle other trivial matters.
Meanwhile, Su Yi rubbed his nose with a bitter smile.
…
At night, Su Yi returned to his residence.
Since he had already planned to go to the central plains, then his strength should also be raised.
Thinking of this, he immediately sat down cross-legged and planned to break through to the foundation establishment realm within these three days.
When that time came, if anything happened along the way, he would have enough strength to deal with it.
This time, he did not plan to rely on medicinal pills to increase his cultivation. With his middle-grade spiritual root, the perfected art of longevity would have other benefits.
Within three days, he could completely condense his cultivation to reach a bottleneck and break through to the foundation establishment stage.
Closing his eyes and lowering his heart, the art of longevity began to circulate around his body, and the spiritual energy surrounding his body continued to pour into his being.
…
Two days later.
After Su Yi completed a circulation, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body was overflowing, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the qi condensation stage.
He originally thought that the lightning tribulation was coming, so he came to the courtyard.
However, he found that the sky was extremely clear. There were no signs of the lightning tribulation.
Suddenly, a hint made him frown.
[Hint: Your chance of breaking through the qi condensation stage is 1,000%.]
[Hint: The lightning tribulation will arrive in ten days.]
“Huh, what does this mean?”
Su Yi was confused. There was such a thing as a delay in the Lightning Tribulation?
With a 1000% success rate of foundation establishment, should it not allow him to successfully transcend the tribulation and reach the foundation establishment realm?
Suddenly, he thought of a legend he had heard in the modern world when he was studying. When the probability of a genius breaking through the qi condensation realm exceeded 100%, then it would attract an even more powerful lightning tribulation.
“No way, could it be that I would attract an even more powerful lightning tribulation?”
Thinking about it, he realized.
Among the cultivators, he was probably the only one in the world who could convert all of his true essence into innate superior clear qi.
He did not have any reference to compare it with.
Moreover, he could also feel that his foundation establishment lightning tribulation might be extremely powerful.
It was rumored that those extremely powerful geniuses might attract the Heavenly Dao’s attention when they break through to another realm.
They would send down special lightning tribulations to temper the geniuses.
If they successfully transcend the tribulation, they would build a supreme Dao foundation. If they could not, they would die and their corpses would be left without a trace.
Those geniuses who had transcended the special lightning tribulation all became mighty figures and ascended to immortality.
However, no one had ever seen such lightning tribulation. Perhaps only the person who created the legend had truly seen it.
As for his own lightning tribulation, he still needed ten days to prepare. Su Yi smiled bitterly.
It seemed that he still needed ten days to break through to the foundation establishment stage.
He was not afraid of the lightning tribulation. Tomorrow, he would set off together with Nie Ling towards the great desolate central plains.
What he was afraid of was that on the way, the lightning tribulation would cause some unnecessary trouble.
…
The next day, Nie Ling came to his residence early and urged him.
As he could not break through to the foundation establishment realm, he spent some time last night practicing the Tiangang Sword Finger and the Heaven-defying Divine Sky Palm. His cultivation base had reached a higher level, so he could use them more efficiently.
“Fellow Daoist Su, is there anything else? It’s time for us to set off.”
“I’m coming, I’m coming.”
He yawned and put away some necessary things into the immortal destiny seal. He pushed open the door and saw Nie Ling, who was wearing a light green gauze robe.
Today, Nie Ling was not in the solemn mood she had at the auction. Instead, she was nimble and cheerful.
As soon as Su Yi came out, Nie Ling naturally went forward and pulled him away.
The two soon arrived outside a magic formation.
“This is a magic array that can only be sent to the outskirts of Demon Wolf Valley. It’s still some distance away from the central plains of the great desolate.”
Nie Ling said as she stood inside the magic array.
“Mm, let’s go.”
As she spoke, Su Yi stepped into the magic array as well.
The magic array was activated, and a white light flashed, and the two of them were sent away.
The outskirts of Demon Wolf Valley.
The demon wolves here were all around the first level of qi condensation realm, and the two of them really did not have much interest in killing them.
As they went deeper, they would occasionally encounter mid-stage qi condensation demon wolves, but they were all killed by Nie Ling.
This also saved him the trouble of killing them himself.
…
The two of them chatted and laughed for a few days.
At this time, they had arrived at the Demon Spirit Mountain Range. Unlike the Demon Wolf Valley, this place was filled with mid-stage qi condensation fierce beasts, and there were many types of fierce beasts.
During this time, Su Yi and Nie Ling also saw some teams hunting fierce beasts. Both parties did not have any conflict of interest, so they only exchanged pleasantries and remained vigilant.
“Whew… After crossing this mountain range, we will arrive at the Chaotic Cloudy Creeks.”
He looked at the map and said leisurely.
The two of them were cultivators, and they were not in a hurry to travel. Naturally, their bodies did not show signs of sweating and panting.
“Eh? So fast?”
Nie ling was stunned. She had been talking to Su Yi in the past half a day, so how could she remember the passage of time when she was in such high spirits.
“Not so fast, my eldest miss. It took us a few days to get here. To think that we are both late-stage qi condensation cultivators.”
Looking at Nie Ling, Su Yi could not help but smile bitterly.
Soon, the two of them spent a lot of effort hiking over the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.
A 10,000 feet deep cliff appeared beneath their feet.
Looking down, the stream stretched for an unknown length of miles. One could not see the end of it at a glance.
Looking around, clouds and mist curled around, full of vitality.
Below them, there was also fierce surging river water that continuously washed over the surrounding stone walls.
And the demon beasts that lived here were mostly a type of demon beast called the horned rhinoceros.
They were rather large in size, with huge horns on their heads and thick scales on their bodies.
What was even more terrifying was that these demon beasts usually had the cultivation and strength of the late stage of the qi condensation stage.
