Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Shen Bai rushed home and replaced the defensive array with mid-grade spirit stones. He then gave one-third of the remaining spirit stones to Shen Wenwen.

The brother and sister went into the workshop and began quickly making bullets.

Only when the number of bullets reached 2000 did the two feel a sense of security.

Shen Bai made a dozen more hand grenades, gave half to Shen Wenwen, and then the two of them, still in their armor, sat in the training room and began to cultivate.

At this point, given their combined strength, there was nothing they could do.

The communication talisman suddenly vibrated. Shen Bai picked it up and saw that it was from An Li.

"My parents have gone to the battlefield. Why don't you and your sister come to our house? Our defensive array is much safer."

Shen Bai politely declined. He knew it would be safer to go to An Li's house, but he didn't want to cause her any trouble.

An Li hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I'm scared to be alone!"

Shen Bai was stunned. He then realized that he and his sister had experienced many life-and-death battles, while the other party was just a hothouse flower.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Bai nodded and said, "Then you wait for us."

An Li was overjoyed and nodded emphatically.

Shen Bai stood up and called Shen Wenwen to her feet: "Let's go to An Li's house. Her house is safer than ours."

"Oh? Is she your girlfriend? I just heard her say in a message that she was scared!"

Shen Wenwen looked at Shen Bai with a grin, making Shen Bai blush: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Wenwen pointed to the spirit rice and spirit beast meat and asked, "What should we do with these?"

Shen Bai found two large sacks and packed them in: "Take them with us, we won't eat and stay for free!"

……

Stepping out of the house again, the streets of Jiangbei City were deserted, not a soul in sight.

Shen Bai and Shen Wenwen didn't dare to delay. They quickly flew away on their flying skateboards. The Enforcement Hall cultivators in the sky saw them and shouted directly, "Go home immediately! Stop wandering around outside!"

Shen Bai made a gesture to the other party, and then flew towards Jiangzhong District.

Upon arriving at the Bailong River, Shen Bai saw many cultivators patrolling back and forth on both banks, clearly guarding against the demonic beasts in the Bailong River taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

"Why do I have this feeling that Jiangzhong District is more dangerous than our home?"

Shen Wenwen grabbed Shen Bai, somewhat hesitant.

Shen Bai was taken aback for a moment, and he also felt that this statement was very likely to become a reality. After thinking about it for a while, he still insisted on continuing to go to Jiangzhong District.

"The people living in Jiangzhong District are all rich and powerful. If Jiangzhong District is not safe, then JB District probably won't be much better off. Here, we still have people protecting us. If we go back to JB District, we'll probably have to rely on ourselves."

Shen Wenwen nodded, realizing she had been worrying unnecessarily.

Just as the two were about to fly across the bridge, they saw towering waves suddenly rise on the Bailong River, and countless aquatic monsters burst out of the river.

"Ah, I was right!"

Shen Wenwen was dumbfounded. How could this be?

Monsters have erupted in the Jade Screen Mountains, and those in the White Dragon River are also causing trouble. Something big is about to happen.

Shen Bai grabbed Shen Wenwen and flew home.

I can't go to Jiangzhong District anymore!

"Shen Wenwen, you jinx!"

"I'm not a jinx! It's just that you want to go be with your lover!"

"I've already said, she's not my girlfriend!"

"Isn't that right? Going to her house at such a dangerous time! Now look what's happened!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get home!"

……

Jiangbei City is in chaos!

Outside, there's a monster horde in the Yuping Mountains; inside, there's a monster horde in the Bailong River!

This monster tide is something that only happens once every hundred years!

Many Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators who were in seclusion on the floating islands have emerged from their seclusion.

The defensive formations in all three areas were activated.

While flying wildly, Shen Bai sent a message to An Li, telling her to stay at home and not go anywhere.

An Li feigned composure and instead urged Shen Bai to hurry home: "Don't worry about me. Our formation is already activated, and there are many cultivators left behind. This place is safer than your JB district! If all else fails, go to the Night Fiend Hall."

Shen Bai indicated that he understood.

The brother and sister rushed out and then hurriedly returned home.

The two, who had initially been somewhat calm, began to become agitated.

No one could have imagined that this monster tide would be so ferocious.

"I'm going to break through to the Innate Realm!"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Bai realized that at this point, improving his strength was the most crucial thing.

Shen Wenwen's small face was full of seriousness: "I'll protect you, don't be reckless!"

Returning to the innate state after birth is a major hurdle. After taking the first-order breakthrough pill, Shen Bai originally wanted to nourish his body and improve his condition to its peak before attempting to break through to the innate state.

An Li shared the same idea; both of them had planned to reach the Innate Realm before the college entrance examination, as this would be a safer approach.

Now that the monster tide is approaching, one must increase one's strength in order to survive.

Even if there's not much difference between a martial artist who has acquired skills and one who has acquired skills in the face of demonic beasts, every little bit of improvement is still beneficial.

……

Shen Bai took out the Qi Cultivation Pill, the Meridian Protection Pill, and the First-Order Breakthrough Pill.

The Peiyuan Pill was originally a pill used by those in the Innate Realm to consolidate their foundation and cultivate their essence. However, Shen Bai used it to accumulate true energy and break through to the Innate Realm.

The Meridian Protection Pill was given to me by Hu Weiwei after I was attacked by Lu Yan last time. It was used to protect my meridians from damage when I broke through to the Innate Realm.

The first-tier breakthrough pill can greatly increase the probability of breaking through to the innate realm.

Each of the three pills has its own purpose.

Shen Bai first took the Meridian Protection Pill, and a gentle medicinal power immediately spread throughout all the meridians and acupoints of his body, which gave Shen Bai even greater confidence in his breakthrough to the Innate Realm.

The Qi-Nourishing Pill, which should have been a gentle medicine, turned into the most violent medicine for Shen Bai, a martial artist who had acquired his cultivation. It began to rampage through his meridians. Fortunately, he had the Meridian-Protecting Pill to protect him. Otherwise, the violent medicine alone would have caused Shen Bai to faint from the pain.

Suppressing his discomfort, Shen Bai swallowed a first-tier breakthrough pill. A wondrous medicinal power immediately harmonized the violent medicinal power of the Qi-Nourishing Pill with Shen Bai's own true qi. The rampaging medicinal power gradually became docile, circulating through the eight extraordinary meridians for one full cycle before rushing towards the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.

"boom--"

Shen Bai felt a voice suddenly ring out in his brain, and at that moment, countless bloodstains suddenly appeared from the pores all over his body.

"ah--"

Shen Wenwen gasped softly, then quickly covered her mouth. She knew her brother was at the most crucial moment.

As the loud noise came, Shen Bai had already entered a mysterious state. He seemed to transform into a third party, looking down at his own body from the air, and then repeatedly transforming into a drop of blood, flowing through his blood vessels.

Inner vision!

This is the sign of entering the Innate Realm.

In the past, cultivation relied solely on the sensation of qi, but now, with the aid of internal vision, cultivation will be much easier!

In his inner vision, Shen Bai saw that his bridge between heaven and earth had been opened, and the colorful spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world entered his body, thus changing the internal circulation to the external circulation.

Become!

Under the pressure of the monster tide and with the help of many spiritual herbs, Shen Bai returned to the innate state from the acquired state in one fell swoop.

True Qi transforms into True Essence.

The unity of heaven and humanity is the innate principle!
