Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing and Gu Yang have been practicing in the cave for several days. The spiritual energy here is so rich that it has condensed into liquid.

Every day feels like rain, and every breath feels like swallowing the essence of heaven and earth.

The surrounding spiritual energy was like an ownerless object, allowing them to absorb it at will.

This kind of cultivation experience was an unprecedented enjoyment for both of them.

In the sect, you have to spend contribution points to use so much spiritual energy, but here you can even get it for free.

You know what, it’s so cool to get something for free.

Spiritual energy flowed into their bodies like a clear spring, cleansing their meridians and enhancing their cultivation.

The two were so immersed in their cultivation that they forgot the passage of time and only felt the strength in their bodies increasing little by little.

Hu Qing's injuries have basically recovered, his skin is as good as before, and even the scars have disappeared.

It seems that Elder Han put a lot of thought into refining this puppet, and the materials alone are not cheap.

Hu Qing's current state of mind has also completely stabilized. The golden elixir slowly rotates in his dantian, emitting a faint light.

As long as he could light up the remaining three and a half lines on the golden elixir, he would be able to go one step further and reach a new height.

After witnessing Xu Shi's illusion and Zhou Quan's lion roar, he became even more curious about his own golden elixir skills.

Gu Yang was also trying hard to absorb the spiritual energy around him. His cultivation was steadily improving, and he was still some distance away from the late stage of foundation building.

But he has been trying very hard to absorb spiritual energy, but the capacity of his dantian is limited. Now he can only see if he can go one step further through the baptism of spiritual flow.

"Buzz...buzz..."

A burst of noise echoed around them, disrupting their meditation.

Gu Yang looked down and suddenly found that the badge hanging on his body was constantly glowing. This strange phenomenon forced them to stop practicing.

Hu Qing opened his eyes, and the surrounding light was reflected in his pupils. He found that on the three platforms around him, the badges on everyone's body were shining.

The bone lamp on the wall went out at some point, and the cave fell into darkness, with only the light from the waist badge flickering.

Now these badges are like fireflies in the dark night, flashing dazzling light.

Gu Yang counted the number of people carefully according to the light and found that there were exactly the same number of people as before they came in. It seemed that no other cultivators had come in during this period.

I don’t know if it’s because there are enough people or if the defense at the door is too strong.

He swept his eyes through the crowd and found that everyone was looking at the two of them, or to be more precise, at Hu Qing next to them.

He turned to look at Hu Qing, and only then realized that there was no lit badge next to Hu Qing.

In this ocean of light, Hu Qing's presence seems particularly abrupt.

No wonder so many people were looking at him. Gu Yang's face showed a hint of panic.

Oops, I actually forgot about this.

Hu Qing came here "smuggled in", so he didn't have a badge on him.

After the cultivators around them reach the foundation-building stage, their five senses will be different from those of ordinary people, so they can naturally discover this "heresy".

However, there was nothing unusual on Hu Qing's face. He stood in the corner like a tall stone statue, his eyes still fixed on the two blue-robed monks.

"My friend, where is your badge? Could you please take it out and let us see it?"

Zhao Shilin, one of the leaders of the Golden Feather Gang, was approaching them with two guards.

It’s over, it’s over. Gu Yang’s face turned pale. If he was discovered now, he would probably become the target of public criticism and be besieged.

When Gu Yang was racking his brains to find a way to refuse, someone shouted:

"The light shield is about to break, hurry up and grab a spot!"

This roar made everyone turn their heads to look at the six stone platforms on the source of the river, and the light shields on them had indeed disappeared.

This time they didn't care whether they had a badge or not. The Jinyu Gang hurriedly turned around and gathered together, rushing towards the stone platform.

The entire cave suddenly became lively, and everyone was rushing towards the stone platform, unwilling to be left behind.

Gu Yang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw everyone had left. He said:

"Phew! That was dangerous. We were almost discovered."

"It's okay. At worst, we can just kill them all. Getting rid of some people in advance can serve as a warning to others!" Hu Qing said with a bad look on his face.

Gu Yang glanced at Hu Qing twice. Who had offended him? Why was he so angry?

But seeing those people getting closer and closer to the stone platform, he pulled Hu Qing and ran towards the stone platform.

After a while, the two arrived around the stone platform, where many monks were already standing.

The stone platform consists of two parts, with a cushion placed on the platform. The size of the cushion depends on the size of the formation and determines the number of people it can accommodate.

The stone platforms are of different sizes, and the cushions on them are also different, with different sizes.

Gu Yang looked around and saw that the largest stone platform was right in front, closest to the source, and the cushions on it were big enough to seat two people.

Then they turned their attention to the back of Stone Platform No. 1. Looking at the stone platforms with gradually decreasing areas, they also understood the rules.

This should be distinguished according to the distance from the source.

Two wandering cultivators and some guards were standing on the three stone platforms at the back, and they were fighting fiercely.

But no one came up to the first three seats, and the three major forces around were watching.

Hu Qing happened to be observing the blue-robed monk on the other side of the river. The familiar face made his hands tremble uncontrollably.

"Brother Gu, look, that man is Li Wenyuan. I said I didn't recognize him wrongly." Hu Qing pulled Gu Yang, who was watching the fun beside him, and then said in a low voice.

Gu Yang turned his gaze and met Li Wenyuan's who was looking around. Both of them were a little excited.

Gu Yang was about to shout loudly, but was stopped by Hu Qing next to him. On the other side, Li Wenyuan also wanted to get closer, but was stopped by the middle-aged monk next to him.

"Yuan'er, this is a critical moment. Even if you know those two people over there, you can't show it openly, otherwise you will be targeted and it will be disadvantageous."

"Brother Gu, just know it, don't make it public. If the other three major forces find out, they will definitely be alert to us."

Hearing this, Li Wenyuan and Gu Yang suppressed their excitement and quietly gestured in the air: Let’s talk after the baptism.

Gu Yang and Hu Qing were both happy to see their old friend alive, and they looked at the No. 1 stone platform in front of them with more eagerness.

Seeing that the cultivators had arrived, the people from the Wang family, the Fang family, and the Golden Feather Gang nodded a few times in the air.

There was a tacit understanding in their eyes; they had already reached an agreement to divide up the last chance.

"Since no one dares to go up to Stone Platform No. 3, then it belongs to us, hahahaha..."

The three major forces were also not vague. The leaders jumped directly onto the stone platform and stood there, looking down arrogantly at the monks standing on the river.

Gu Yang cursed inwardly, damn it, these bastards from Nanliu City really make me feel uneasy.

Hu Qing fiddled with the royal sword in his hand, looking at the people on the stone platform, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Standing on the No. 1 stone platform was the only remaining descendant of the Wang family, Wang Yuanming. His cultivation had already reached the late stage of Jindan, and he was holding a dark red horizontal sword in his hand. Judging from his aura, it was probably a top-grade spiritual weapon.

There were three monks standing at number two, who looked almost the same. They should be the triplets of the Fang family, Fang Zemu, Fang Zelin, and Fang Zesen.

All three of them used a green dagger, and their strength had reached the middle stage of Jindan.

Sitting on the third stone platform were two members of the Golden Feather Gang: Zhao Shilin and Hou Xi.

Houxi was drawing something on the ground with a brush, while Zhao Shilin was leaning on Houxi's back, looking at everyone fearlessly.

"The one in front, who's slacking off, is in the middle stage of Jindan. The one behind him should be setting up a formation. It looks like he's prepared a lot, but his strength is only in the early stage of Jindan. It doesn't look good enough.

"But the brushes in my hand and the materials on the ground are all good things. Let's see if we can grab some when we leave." Hu Qing whispered.

Gu Yang nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that none of these three forces were easy to deal with.

"Why? No one comes up to challenge us? Isn't this session too boring?" Zhao Shilin said with a yawn.

"Maybe he's afraid of us. Monkey, when you finish your painting, come and draw for the three of us. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's get close." Fang Zelin shouted with a smile on the No. 2 stone platform.

……

It seemed that they didn't care about the others and were still laughing. Gu Yang wanted to clench his fists when he heard it. Why did these second-generations deserve a beating so much?

"Then let us outsiders give it a try." The middle-aged monk next to Li Wenyuan stood up and chose among the three stone platforms.

Li Wenyuan looked at Gu Yang and the others from the side and grinned twice.

The three families on the stone platform looked at Li Wenyuan and the other person on the river with great interest.

Soon, the middle-aged monk finished his selection. He looked at the three brothers of the Fang family on the second stone platform, bowed and said with a smile:

"Li Dinghai of the Donghai Li family, I would like to ask the Fang brothers for guidance!"

"Li Wenyuan of the Donghai Li family, please give me some advice from the Fang brothers!"
