Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

On the No. 3 stone platform, the spiritual energy was like boiling water, rolling and roaring.

Wave after wave of pressure spread out from the center of the stone platform, oppressing the surrounding monks.

They all stopped practicing and looked at Stone Platform No. 3 in shock. The pressure made them feel suffocated, as if even breathing had become difficult.

Gu Yang took out the Soul-Devouring Blade from the storage ring and held it behind his back. If the two people from the Golden Feather Gang showed up, he would pull Hu Qing and rush forward to kill them all.

Hu Qing was sensing the breath of the cultivator in the center of the stone platform, but the raging spiritual energy and pressure around him made him a little numb.

Even using the Jindan's predictive ability, it only slightly reduced the sense of danger in his mind.

But this is not good news. After all, if one of the two people from the Jinyu Gang breaks through, it will not pose any danger to Hu Qing and others.

The other cultivators were all eagerly waiting, wanting to see which genius could reach the Nascent Soul stage so quickly.

As the spiritual mist and smoke gradually dissipated, a burly figure gradually emerged.

He sat cross-legged on a mat, with three wounded corpses lying around him.

Gu Yang looked at Zhou Quan, who had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. His tense body relaxed at once and he breathed a sigh of relief, but a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Hu Qing, who was standing beside him, clutched his heart and was a little unsteady. He didn't expect that Li Hu was still dead.

He looked at the big hole in Li Hu's chest on the ground and felt heartbroken for a moment, but it was still too late.

The two people from the Golden Feather Gang were probably killed by Zhou Quan, and the entire stone platform was covered with sticky blood.

He looked at Zhou Quan's dull eyes and felt a little uncomfortable.

To see a good friend who once fought alongside you die beside you is a devastating blow to anyone.

However, what they didn't expect was that such a blow actually allowed Zhou Quan to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although he was the only one on this stone platform enjoying the baptism of spiritual flow, it still required talent to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, judging from his aura, Zhou Quan should be in the true Yuanying stage and has not chosen the fake Yuanying stage.

Zhou Quan's eyes are now empty, and his body has undergone earth-shaking changes under the baptism of spiritual energy.

His skin became smoother, like jade, the meridians in his body were widened, and the Nascent Soul in his Dantian gradually condensed into shape.

He could feel his strength growing rapidly, but this increase in strength did not bring him any joy. On the contrary, his heart was filled with pain and confusion.

He remembered Li Hu's smile, the days when they practiced together, and the heroic spirit they shared in fighting against powerful enemies.

However, all this has now become the past, and his friends, his comrades, have fallen beside him and become stepping stones for his breakthrough.

Hu Qing walked up and patted Zhou Quan's shoulders twice to comfort him, while Gu Yang pushed the bodies of the two Jinyu Gang members into the Lingliu River to vent his anger.

"thump……"

Two blood flowers floated up and flowed towards the distance along with the river.

When Zhou Quan saw that the people coming were Hu Qing and Gu Yang, he restrained his aura and stretched his stiff body.

He squatted beside him, took off the ring on Li Hu's hand, glanced at the things inside, and put Li Hu in it as well. He said in a hoarse voice:

"I've known these two brothers since I was eight years old. Their family is poor, and my family members say that they came here to rely on the Zhou family for its power, but I don't believe it.

We've known each other for nineteen years this year, and we'd agreed to find a sect together for our twentieth anniversary next year, but who knew they'd be the first to do so? "

As he spoke, the burly man lowered his head, leaving two lines of turbid tears. He sniffed, looked at Hu Qing beside him, and said:

"Do you know how Hu Zi died? After we killed Zhao Shilin, Hou Xi fought tooth and nail. I should have been the one to die, but Hu Zi used his body to withstand two explosions from the formation..."

Seeing Zhou Quan's voice becoming increasingly hoarse, Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt even more upset.

It would have been great if they had ended Xiang Yu's battle earlier and gone to help directly. Why are they always a step behind?

Gu Yang was about to speak when suddenly the entire stone platform began to shake.

No, not only the stone platform, but the entire cave was shaking violently.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang were half-crouching on the stone platform, looking extremely flustered.

The bone lamps on the surrounding walls swayed with the vibration, making a "cracking" sound, as if it was the countdown to death.

The surface of the Lingliu River below the stone platform was raising waves one after another, hitting the pillars of the stone platform and making a deafening roar.

"This is a sign that the Nanliu Secret Realm can't withstand the Nascent Soul Stage's combat power. It could collapse at any moment!" shouted a casual cultivator on the fifth stone platform.

Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, and they all looked at Zhou Quan in the middle.

Zhou Quan's face turned pale, and he seemed to realize this, but his messy thoughts prevented him from thinking of any solution.

"Brother Gu, let's run away and get out early to avoid being buried." Li Wenyuan jumped down with Li Dinghai and said.

Hu Qing nodded on the side. Running away is the best option now. Who knows what will happen here in the next second? Safety is the most important thing.

They quickly jumped off the stone platform and ran to the river beside without even reminiscing about the past.

Once the secret realm collapses, all of them will disappear in the cracks in space, no matter how high their realm is.

Under the power of space, all beings are equal.

Before they had run far, a blue portal suddenly appeared on the river. It emitted a faint light, as if it was a ray of hope in despair.

It seems that the secret realm has activated emergency transmission, providing everyone with an escape route.

Many monks came in one after another, their figures flashed in the blue light and disappeared into the secret realm.

Li Wenyuan was grabbed by Li Dinghai and thrown directly into the portal without even turning around to say a few words.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang were walking at the end. They turned their heads and glanced at Zhou Quan beside them, their eyes full of worry.

"Brother Zhou, you go first!" Gu Yang shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the cave.

Zhou Quan nodded, he knew that now was not the time to hesitate.

He took a deep breath, took a step forward, and rushed towards the portal.

The moment he stepped into the portal, he looked back and saw Gu Yang and Hu Qing following closely behind him. After they all entered, the portal shrank and disappeared on the spot.

The secret realm returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened, but everyone knew that earth-shaking changes had taken place here.

When Zhou Quan opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar valley.

The sky is so blue, the sun is so warm, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and soil.

He stood up and looked around, and found that other monks had also appeared here one after another.

They looked at each other, with a sense of relief in their eyes for having survived the disaster.

But soon, their expressions became solemn again, and two people were missing.

Li Wenyuan walked out and found Zhou Quan, asking, "You were walking at the back. Where are the other two? Where did they go?"

Zhou Quan felt powerless. If something happened to Hu Qing and Gu Yang again, he would probably be even more unable to recover.

Four monks walked out of the crowd. They were Zhou Quan's subordinates. They surrounded him and glared at Li Wenyuan together.

Li Wenyuan was about to curse when Li Dinghai came over and picked him up and put him on the ground beside him.

The other monks were already walking outside, trying to find a familiar road, while Li Wenyuan and Zhou Quan stood here stubbornly waiting for them.

……

The moment Gu Yang and Hu Qing stepped into the portal, a powerful force imprisoned them.

They felt their bodies unable to move and could only allow this force to carry them to an unknown destination.

The monks in front disappeared from sight one after another, but they still stayed in the transmission channel.

The two tried to break the restraints on their bodies, but the restraints became stronger as they exerted more force.

After trying everything, the two were unable to escape. Their mouths were sealed by a pure spiritual power, and they could only whimper.

A blue light flashed, and their eyes were stung so much that tears came out.

They appeared in a pure white space, which seemed to have no boundaries, making them feel confused and frightened.

There was only a meager amount of spiritual energy in this space, which made Hu Qing and Gu Yang feel uncomfortable.

The spiritual energy here is not enough to support their activities and may even threaten their lives.

There was also a faint stench of decay in the air, which made them feel even more uneasy.
