Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

However, what Li Wujiang didn't expect was that the more he tried to hide it, the more curious the other six peak masters became.

Just then, Shen Yujun, the dignified and beautiful peak master of Yuheng Peak, dressed in a long yellow dress, parted her lips slightly and said softly:

"Master Li, the seven inner peaks, each of which has its own unique spiritual energy."

Back when I broke through to the Martial King realm, I was unable to attract the spiritual energy of the other peaks to my Jade Balance Peak.

While I believe your explanation, please forgive me for not being able to agree with it.

I believe the other peak masters share the same thought!

As Shen Yujun spoke, she looked around, her gaze sweeping over the other peak masters.

Upon seeing this, Yu Zhenxing and the other five peak masters immediately nodded in agreement.

Li Wujiang had just sworn an oath, so they naturally couldn't say they didn't believe him; otherwise, they would be slapping themselves in the face.

However, what Shen Yujun, the master of Yuheng Peak, said does make sense.

Even after breaking through to the Martial King realm, he was unable to draw upon the spiritual energy of the other peaks.

But Li Wujiang said that a disciple of Tianji Peak had broken through in his cultivation, attracting the spiritual energy of the other six peaks, which was rather alarming.

It's impossible that this disciple from Tianji Peak is breaking through to a stronger Martial Emperor Realm, or even a Martial Saint Realm.

That's simply a fantasy.

As for Li Wujiang, the peak master of Tianji Peak, he felt helpless as the other peak masters pressed him closer and refused to leave.

However, to be honest, he didn't understand why Chu Yunfan's mere breakthrough to the Martial Venerable Realm could cause changes in the spiritual energy of the entire inner sect.

This was the first time he had encountered something like this in all his years at the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"What kind of freak is this disciple? I've never seen anything like it before!"

With a helpless sigh, Li Wujiang had no choice but to continue thinking of other ways to keep the other six peak masters outside Tianji Peak.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan, the instigator, was experiencing both pain and pleasure.

The pain was because Chu Yunfan had absorbed too much spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and his body was about to burst.

The joy stemmed from Chu Yunfan's feeling that his body was rapidly becoming stronger under the transformation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, undergoing a tremendous evolution.

At the same time, the powerful aura emanating from the newly formed sword spirit power within his dantian filled Chu Yunfan with immense joy.

"The more spiritual energy one absorbs during the baptism of heaven and earth, the stronger one will be after the breakthrough."

No matter what, I must persevere!

Chu Yunfan roared inwardly to encourage himself, refusing to slow down the rate at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Chu Yunfan had his reasons for doing so.

His confidence stemmed from the fact that this wasn't the first time he'd done this.

He knew very well what it felt like to feel like your body was about to burst.

Therefore, he always kept himself in a state of near-explosion.

To be honest, Chu Yunfan's behavior was like a pregnant woman walking a tightrope, risking her life while carrying her child.

One wrong move, and it explodes on the spot, spiraling upwards into the sky.

However, in order to win first place in the inner sect competition and to obtain the sacred artifact, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to go to such lengths.

Through his previous life-or-death experiences, Chu Yunfan discovered that although he was highly talented, had excellent cultivation techniques, and strong martial arts skills, he was capable of killing enemies of higher levels, and even enemies of higher ranks.

However, it has a fatal weakness: when encountering a Martial King realm expert or an even more powerful enemy, it has no power to resist and can only be slaughtered at will.

Chu Yunfan never wanted to experience that feeling again.

The power of the sacred artifact is enough to give Chu Yunfan a fighting chance even when facing a Martial King realm expert.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan's desire for this sacred artifact was extremely strong at this moment.

It was this strong belief that enabled Chu Yunfan to endure the pain and fear of his body being about to burst, and to persevere.

Time always seems to pass very slowly during times of pain.

Chu Yunfan didn't know how much time had passed until a moment when the spiritual power in his dantian stopped increasing in the slightest, and only then did he come back to his senses.

At this moment, he discovered that his cultivation had reached the peak of the early stage of the Martial Venerable Realm, and he was just a little short of breaking through to the middle stage of the Martial Venerable Realm.

"Unfortunately, the accumulation was still insufficient, and I was unable to break through to the mid-stage of the Martial Venerable Realm in one go."

But that's enough!

Chu Yunfan's eyes revealed a satisfied look, and then he used the Great Kunpeng Technique, transforming into the body of a Kunpeng and continuing to receive the baptism of the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

After a moment, Chu Yunfan frowned and muttered to himself:

"The cultivation level of the Kunpeng Body is only at the mid-stage of the third rank, which is equivalent to the mid-stage of the Martial Sect Realm."

With this kind of strength, they definitely won't stand a chance in the upcoming inner sect competition!

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared in Chu Yunfan's hand, and a blood-red ice crystal appeared in his hand.

This ice crystal was formed from the essence blood of the eagle demon king, but it was frozen by Nalan Xue's sword energy.

"The spiritual power cultivation of my body has reached the early stage of Martial Venerable Realm. After the spiritual power baptism just now, my body has been strengthened several times over."

Although I am currently in the form of the Kunpeng, the two bodies are originally one, complementing each other.

"Now, I should be able to withstand the power within this demon king's blood essence!"

Looking at the essence blood of the eagle demon king in his hand, Chu Yunfan's eyes were firm. He made up his mind and swallowed the essence blood directly.

The demon king's essence blood melted instantly upon entering his mouth, releasing immense power that surged into Chu Yunfan's limbs and bones.

This force was far more powerful than the baptism of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It instantly blew Chu Yunfan out of his internal injuries, and even caused some small cracks to appear on his meridians.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yunfan was startled and immediately circulated his spiritual power to repair the injuries in his body.

Although Chu Yunfan transformed his spiritual power into sword spiritual power through sword intent, making it sharper and more lethal.

However, the essence of the sword's spiritual power is still the spiritual power born from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, and its healing effects will not be weakened in the slightest.

However, the power of the Demon King's blood essence was clearly much stronger than Chu Yunfan had anticipated.

Although his spiritual power and healing abilities were strong, they still couldn't keep up with the speed at which the Demon King's essence blood destroyed things.

If this continues, before Chu Yunfan can even refine the power within the Demon King's blood essence...

His body would be destroyed first by the demon king's essence blood.

However, Chu Yunfan showed no sign of panic in the face of this situation.

Because he has another trump card that he can use to deal with the Demon King's essence blood.

That is, the spiritual energy baptism he is undergoing.

It's important to understand that the power used for the baptism of heaven and earth spiritual energy is not just the simple spiritual energy of heaven and earth; it also possesses many powerful functions such as transforming and repairing the body.

Chu Yunfan calmed down and continued to circulate the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic," absorbing the power brought by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
