207: Chapter 207: Five Women Get Their Wish, Palace Master Suffers

Three months later.

Xiao Yuan sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Room, introspecting his Dantian, a satisfied smile curving the corner of his mouth.

Five Peak Revered Masters, five Nascent Souls.

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu, Peak Master Mu Xuelan, Peak Master Tang Huor, Peak Master Bai Suxin, and Peak Master Gu Hanshuang had all broken through to the Early Nascent Soul stage, with solid Foundations and profound auras.

The miraculous phenomena of the five women's Breakthroughs were also tightly concealed by the creation cauldron, and no one outside knew about it.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Xiao Yuan's Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique directly soared from 75% to 95%.

The Witch Clan Bloodline was also activated to 95%.

With only the final 5% left, it could reach Perfection.

He stretched his muscles and bones, and his Physical Body strength ascended to another level; he had a feeling that relying solely on his Physical Body now, he could forcefully withstand a Golden Core Peak.

If he used spiritual power, he would also have the strength to fight an Early Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Outside the Immortal Cave, the five Peak Revered Masters stood shoulder to shoulder, glowing with health and vitality, their auras as deep as an abyss.

They looked back at the direction of the Immortal Cave, their gazes complex and shocked, not only because Xiao Yuan had not lied to them, but also because three months of Dual Cultivation had caused a trace of complex emotions toward Xiao Yuan to sprout within them.

"Let's go," Peak Master Shen Jingqiu said indifferently, "Go back and consolidate the Realm."

Xiao Yuan did not keep the five women to consolidate their Realm.

After they broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage and Xiao Yuan activated his Bloodline, he let the five women leave as they pleased.

What was more urgent for him at the moment was to see if he could self-create the remaining two Cultivation Techniques.

The five women cast another reluctant glance at Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave.

They had tasted the benefits of cultivation enhancement; even though it was somewhat awkward when the five women were together at first, and that awkwardness still remained even now.

But compared to the enhancement of cultivation, this awkwardness was nothing.

After taking a deep breath, the five women flew away on their swords, disappearing into the sea of clouds.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Xiao Yuan's Divine Sense sensed the direction they left, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

Five Peak Revered Masters, five Nascent Souls.

The overall strength of the Jade Maiden Palace had taken another massive leap.

However, it was a pity that his Bloodline had not been completely activated.

He originally thought that after the five Peak Revered Masters broke through to the Nascent Soul, they should be able to completely activate his Bloodline. Now it seemed he had taken things for granted!

But fortunately, there was still Palace Master Mengying.

It was just that the other party was obviously somewhat unwilling, but he would like to see how much longer that proud Palace Revered Master could hold out.

...

Above the sea of clouds, five figures traveled on swords with their robes fluttering—they were precisely the five Peak Revered Masters who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul.

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu's expression was cold and aloof, but the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, and her mood was clearly quite good.

The enhancement of her cultivation made her somewhat high-spirited at the moment!

Peak Master Mu Xuelan was as gentle as usual, but her eyes held a bit of confidence that she didn't have before.

Peak Master Tang Huor smiled boldly, wishing she could shout to the entire world, "This lady has reached the Nascent Soul."

Peak Master Bai Suxin was quiet and introverted, but her entire person glowed with radiance.

Peak Master Gu Hanshuang was expressionless, but the spiritual power fluctuations circulating around her body were more than twice as strong as before.

The five of them were flying merrily when a light purple figure suddenly appeared ahead.

Palace Master Mengying stood in mid-air with her hair tied up in a high bun, an exquisite face, and a noble, otherworldly temperament.

She looked at the five women with a calm gaze, but a trace of eagerness was hidden deep within her eyes.

The five women exchanged glances, simultaneously slowing down their speed and stopping in front of Mengying.

They hadn't expected that as soon as they came out, they would actually have their path blocked by this Palace Revered Master!

Although their cultivation was now higher than Mengying's, the other party was, after all, the Palace Revered Master!

"Palace Revered Master?" Peak Master Shen Jingqiu slightly bowed, her tone respectful, but a trace of understanding flashed in her eyes.

This Palace Revered Master adult was probably here to gather information.

Mengying's gaze swept across the five women, imperceptibly releasing her Divine Sense.

Then...

She was completely stunned.

Golden Core Peak?

No... it was Nascent Soul!

All five of them were Nascent Souls!

Moreover, their auras were steady and their Foundations were firm, clearly not looking like they had just broken through!

Monstrous waves churned within her heart.

It was real... actually real!

That Foundation Establishment Stage brat could actually allow a Golden Core Peak to break through to the Nascent Soul in a short period of time!

Although it took three months, yet... taking three months to let a strong cultivator in the mid-to-late Golden Core stage break through to the Nascent Soul, this cultivation speed was already terrifying!

Mengying took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and her face recovered that cold and noble expression.

"Where are the few Peak Revered Masters coming from?" she asked indifferently.

Peak Master Tang Huor almost blurted out, "Coming from Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave," but was gently pulled by the corner of her clothes by Peak Master Mu Xuelan, and quickly shut her mouth.

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu's expression was as usual: "Handling some matters at Dan Peak.

What is the Palace Revered Master doing here?"

"This seat is passing by on the way," Mengying said in a flat tone.

The five women muttered inwardly.

Passing by on the way?

They flew on swords—Sect Master Peak was directly to the north, and Dan Peak was to the southeast.

This "passing by" of yours was too much of a detour, right?

But no one dared to expose it.

Peak Master Mu Xuelan said softly, "Palace Revered Master, we have just broken through, and our Realm is still unstable; we need to go back and consolidate it.

If there are no important matters, we will take our leave first."

"Go," Mengying nodded.

The five women executed a bow and left flying on their swords.

That backing view, however one looked at it, had a bit of smugness to it.

Mengying stood in place, watching the direction where they disappeared, her complexion shifting.

She bit her lip and turned to fly toward the Sect Master Peak.

That backing view, however one looked at it, had a hint of escaping in panic.

...

After the five women flew a distance and confirmed that Mengying could no longer hear them, Peak Master Tang Huor was the first one who couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Did you see her expression just now? Her eyes went completely straight!"

Peak Master Bai Suxin said in a low voice, "The Palace Revered Master seems... a bit regretful."

Peak Master Mu Xuelan sighed lightly, "She is proud and aloof; making her lower her head is indeed difficult for her."

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu said indifferently, "That is her own affair.

We just need to take care of ourselves."

Peak Master Gu Hanshuang rarely spoke: "If she doesn't seize the opportunity, she might not even get to drink soup."

The five women exchanged glances and all smiled.

Within the laughter, there was also a bit of shyness.

In unison, they recalled the scenes from these past few days inside Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave, and their faces turned red one by one.

"Alright, alright, let's all go back," Peak Master Shen Jingqiu gave a dry cough, "Consolidating the Realm is paramount."

The five women dispersed individually, flying toward their own Immortal Caves.

But those gazes and demeanors clearly showed they were all thinking of the same thing...

When will we go again next time?

...

Palace Revered Master's Immortal Cave.

Mengying sat cross-legged on the rush mat with the Jade Slip spread out before her, having looked at it countless times.

She stared at the Jade Slip, her heart in complete chaos.

Go, or not go?

If she went... what she did before was tantamount to a disguised rejection of Xiao Yuan.

To deliver herself to his doorstep now would be too shameless.

If she didn't go... the several Peak Revered Masters had all reached the Nascent Soul, yet she was still a Golden Core Peak.

She was the Palace Revered Master after all!

Her cultivation being surpassed by her subordinates, where would she put her face?

She tossed the Jade Slip aside, lay down, stared at the ceiling of the Immortal Cave, and felt extremely irritated.

"So annoying!"

She rolled over, sat up again, picked up the Jade Slip, and put it down again.

Repeating this over and over, she looked like a little kitten trapped in a cage.

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water.

Mengying looked at the full moon, suddenly recalling her Revered Master's words: "If you miss this opportunity, don't regret it."

She bit her lip and lay back down.

But not long after she lay down, she abruptly rose to her feet, her gaze growing a bit more resolute.

Wasn't it just laying down one's pride?!

Was pride more important, or cultivation more important?!
