In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

An Zhiwei saw that the person was awake: "It was my boss who saved you. Who are you? How did you get injured like this?"

The man's face darkened, but then he realized that they were two female cultivators, and he relaxed.

"Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist. This is a Foundation Establishment stage secret realm."

An Zhiwei was a little surprised that she had ended up in a secret realm: "Then what is your world called?"

The man was puzzled. Could they be from the outside world? "I am from the Xuanhuang Realm."

He didn't care about the people of the Xuanhuang Realm, and he didn't care even if these two were bad people.

An Zhiwei glanced at Di Qingci.

Di Qingci knew what was going on; it seemed the only way back would be to leave the secret realm and figure out a way to get back: "Let's go."

The man saw the two leave without saying anything; they were just strangers who had met by chance.

This was the first time I had ever been rescued, and it left a mark on my heart.

Two figures flashed by and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The man felt a sense of loss, then secretly chuckled to himself.

I'm just a bastard that everyone despises, what right do I have to gain anyone's attention?

Then he remembered the people who had hurt him, and thought about how he would torture them to vent his anger once he caught them.

The two traversed mountains and valleys, encountering numerous demonic beasts, all of whom were at the Foundation Establishment stage. Sensing the powerful aura, the beasts instinctively made way for them.

Ahead lay a corner hidden among layers of folds, seemingly forgotten by the world.

Di Qingci and An Zhiwei followed a winding path deeper into the dense forest, where the surrounding scenery gradually became strange.

Ancient trees stand tall, their branches and leaves so lush they almost block out the sky.

Sunlight can only filter through the gaps in the layers of leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

The ground was covered with thick moss and strange, unidentified flowers and plants.

We reached the depths of the secret forest, to an extremely secluded place.

The waterfall in front of us cascades down from a great height, creating a deafening roar.

An Zhiwei exclaimed, "There's even a waterfall here! What a secluded place. We only heard the sound of water when we got closer."

Di Qingci gazed into the distance, and through the misty spray, he could vaguely see the entrance to a cave behind the waterfall.

Di Qingci stepped through the air, passed through the water curtain, and entered the cave, where a rich aura rushed towards him.

The cave walls shimmered with a faint light, as if inlaid with countless stars.

In the center of the cave, there is a small pool of water.

The water in the pool was crystal clear, radiating a dazzling array of colors.

Di Qingci recognized it as a spiritual spring that could cleanse the marrow and strengthen the bones.

She is now a being in a state of primordial chaos, and has no need for these things at all.

But his parents needed it, so Di Qingci took out a magic bottle and quickly filled it up.

An Zhiwei waited outside for a while, but when she didn't see Di Qingci come out, she panicked. What should she do if the big boss suddenly disappeared?

They rushed into the Water Curtain Cave, where the spiritual energy was so dense it was almost tangible.

With a gentle breath, she could feel the pure and powerful energy flowing through her body.

An Zhiwei noticed Di Qingci packing things. She went over, and although she was very envious, she didn't touch them.

This was found by a big shot; she wouldn't dare extend her claws for fear of being chopped off.

Di Qingci stopped when he had finished pretending: "Let's go inside and soak in the water, it'll do you good."

Although it has little effect on Di Qingci, it can absorb spiritual energy.

An Zhiwei immediately beamed: "Okay, boss."

She quickly entered the spiritual spring, and after soaking for a short time, the impurities in An Zhiwei's body were expelled, and a stream of black impurities was purified by the spiritual spring.

Di Qingci sat quietly in the spiritual spring, her posture noble and ethereal, like a sacred statue.

Her long hair, like silk, floated in the water, swaying gently with the ripples of the spring.

The surrounding spiritual energy grew increasingly dense, and suddenly, a powerful spiritual energy storm formed around her.

The spiritual energy spun rapidly like a tornado, emitting a series of howling sounds.

The water in the spiritual spring was also affected by this powerful spiritual energy, and began to churn and surge.

Water splashed everywhere, like countless crystal-clear pearls, shimmering with a mesmerizing light in the sunlight.

Di Qingci was at the center of the spiritual energy tornado. She continuously guided the spiritual energy to circulate within her body, integrating it into her meridians and dantian.

Each cycle makes her spiritual power purer and stronger.

The spiritual energy surged like a tornado, growing increasingly fierce, yet Di Qingci remained completely unaffected.

Her body seemed to merge with the spiritual tornado, becoming the core of this powerful force.

Nourished by spiritual energy, Di Qingci's skin became even more translucent and radiant.

Her aura grew stronger and stronger, as if she could unleash astonishing power at any moment.

As time went by, the spiritual power gradually weakened.

Di Qingci slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with confidence and determination. He should be in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm by the time he gets out.

Di Qingci noticed that the spiritual energy around An Zhiwei was becoming increasingly dense, indicating that she had already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. It seemed that she would be forming her Core soon after leaving the secret realm.

Di Qingci scanned the area with her divine sense, but found nothing of value. She then plucked and collected the surrounding spiritual herbs before leaving the Water Curtain Cave.

She took out a rocking chair from outside and lay down. The sunlight around her was not glaring, and she felt the gentle breeze caressing her face.

An Zhiwei came out and saw this scene. The big boss is different. He can be carefree and unrestrained anywhere.

Unlike her, who is cautious and hesitant in everything she does, lacking the decisiveness of a powerful figure: "Boss, I'm about to form my core."

Di Qingci opened his eyes: "Then you need to be prepared, there will be a tribulation of lightning after you leave the secret realm."

An Zhiwei cherished her life and exchanged all the spirit stones she had for defensive magic artifacts.

Knowing the plot, she had already searched all the places near the Glass Palace that offered opportunities.

Although it was a small opportunity, it was still a considerable fortune for a disciple.

As soon as the two left the dense forest, they heard the sounds of fighting. When they went outside, they saw the man they had rescued earlier being attacked by a group of people.

The man never expected to run into this again, and each time it was when he was in a disheveled state that he was seen by others.

A glint of malice flashed in his eyes. It was all because of these scoundrels that he had lost face in front of his benefactor.

Those who made the move watched warily when they saw the suddenly appearing figures, but they didn't believe that the two would save Sikong Yan.

Even the Sikong family members can be bullied at will, let alone others.

An Zhiwei was very good at reading people: "Why were you attacked again?"

Sikong Yan turned to stare at Di Qingci, only to find that she still looked indifferent.

Sikong Yan didn't dislike him; instead, a wronged look appeared in his eyes.

An Zhiwei is now at the Void Core Realm, and these people are no match for her at all. Although the cultivation level here cannot exceed the Golden Core Realm.

His aura exploded, and the people around him instantly retreated, their eyes wary and somewhat panicked.

They never expected that this bastard Sikong Yan would actually have someone helping him.

"Fellow Daoists, don't be deceived by him. He's a bastard; his mother cheated on him and gave birth to him."

The Sikong family had already done more than enough to raise him, yet he repaid kindness with enmity.

They crippled the eldest son of the Sikong family, and now the Sikong family is searching for him everywhere, yet he managed to sneak into the secret realm.
