446: Breaking out of the sea of ​​clouds

“Ying Ning~”

When Chu Ying opened his eyes and moved instinctively, a light groan like a heavenly melody escaped Ye Qingxian's alluring Vermillion Bird lips.

“Xian’er, when did you wake up?”

Chu Ying blinked at her, and Ye Qingxian bit her lips tightly.

Chu Ying pretended not to see, but Ye Qingxian instead chided angrily:

“Why did you have to wake up at this moment?”

“Are you deliberately trying to see me make a fool of myself?”

She was already about to soar to the clouds.

While Chu Ying was unconscious, she acted unrestrainedly, cultivating alone, and indeed gained immense satisfaction.

She never thought that one day she would be able to Cultivate Eight Cave Heavens; her talent wasn't that great, and her opportunities weren't abundant, otherwise she would have long ago cultivated to the Nine-Step Saint Lord.

She also never expected that she would be able to become a Dao Companion with a peerless genius of Ten Celestial Caves, a feat unheard of throughout the ages, even unprecedented in history.

So, while Chu Ying was still unconscious, she quietly hummed and sang to herself.

Unexpectedly, just as the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire was climbing to the Peak, Chu Ying awoke, and stimulated by this, she instantly reached the pinnacle. She simply couldn't control herself.

Chu Ying chuckled lightly, “Not at all, I just opened my eyes and saw you…”

He wrapped his arms around Ye Qingxian's waist, gently held her soft parts, and lifted her up.

Ye Qingxian’s jade-like face flushed crimson, her charming eyes like silk, and she couldn't help but bite her lips again.

“I… I just did that,” Ye Qingxian said softly, her face red.

Chu Ying smiled teasingly, “But your combat power has always been very strong.”

…

Half an hour later.

Chu Ying sat cross-legged, the Ten Celestial Caves behind him like stars, and within these Ten Celestial Caves, there were a total of eight forbidden Dharma Idols.

Dharma Idols upgraded through Demon Appearance Pill: Demonic Azure Luan, Demonic Gluttonous, Demonic Poor Strange.

Archaic Ten Fiends Dharma Idols: Nine Nether Hound, Kunpeng, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.

The Four Divine Beasts not present in this ancient history: Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird!

In fact, the strength of Black Tortoise and Vermillion Bird surpassed that of the other six Dharma Idols, but the Dharma Idol level reaching forbidden was already the highest, with no room for further improvement.

In addition, within one of Chu Ying's Cave Heaven, the new green sprouts on that withered willow tree had grown much stronger. When first encountered in the Great Wilderness of the Barren Ancient World, they were only the size of a fingernail, but now they had grown to the size of a palm.

Although this was related to the blessings bestowed by the divine tree in the Secluded Realm of the Death Underworld Pool in the Void Spirit Realm, Chu Ying's growth and nourishment also played a significant, even decisive, role.

And in Chu Ying's Dantian, a seven-colored heaven mending stone was suspended.

Currently, the nine-fold array within Chu Ying's body, after being refined by the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire and experiencing the life-and-death inseparable state opened by the Ten Celestial Caves, had completely integrated into Chu Ying's body.

The heavenly might that sealed his nine-fold invincible array had long been obliterated, becoming a fortune for tempering his body.

In terms of cultivation Realm, Chu Ying was still in the Cave Heaven Realm, but he was already in the Ten Celestial Caves, capable of stepping into the Soul Palace Realm with a single thought.

Although he was still three major Realms away from the Saint Lord Realm—Soul Palace, Nether Void, and Divine Power—Chu Ying's state of mind had long surpassed them, reaching the Half-Step Great Saint.

As long as there were sufficient cultivation resources, Chu Ying could ascend and break through all the way without needing to accumulate.

In terms of combat power, even with his current cultivation Realm of Ten Celestial Caves, a single punch could kill a Nine-Step Saint Lord. After a life-and-death inseparable Nirvana with the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, Chu Ying had completely mastered the power of the Archaic World system, and his Physical Body had reached an incredibly perfect and powerful state.

And the Yin Yang Immortal Sutra obtained from the vermillion bird divine bone gave Chu Ying incredibly tenacious combat power, and he mastered [Life and Death Inseparable]; as long as the opponent's strength didn't exceed his by too much, it would be difficult for anyone to kill him.

It can be said that this fall into Immortality Mountain yielded immense gains!

“Xian’er, how is your cultivation progressing?”

Chu Ying knew that Ye Qingxian had unexpectedly achieved Eight Cave Heavens, which meant her potential had been unearthed and enhanced. However, Chu Ying speculated that this was related to Ye Qingxian's Fusion with the True Phoenix Treasure Bone at the time, and simultaneously using the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire to trigger Nirvana.

Perhaps he also played a certain role… for example, the Yin Yang Life and Death Scripture!

At that time, Chu Ying and Ye Qingxian had both reached a state of life and death integration, life and death inseparable, which was probably also a key factor.

However, this was difficult to replicate.

If possible, Chu Ying wanted to help Qiu Lingsu upgrade to Eight Cave Heavens as well. He could try it after leaving Immortality Mountain.

The Yin Yang Life and Death Scripture, this scripture, originated from the Vermillion Bird. The Emperor Scripture grade could no longer be used to evaluate this scripture.

This scripture had already transcended the scope of Emperor Scriptures, and due to the Vermillion Bird's uniqueness, Chu Ying felt that he could truly directly assist others in opening Eight Cave Heavens.

Ye Qingxian opened her eyes, a faint blush on her unblemished immortal face, and her voice was gentle:

“Very good.”

With the opening of Eight Cave Heavens, her Realm also broke through to Eight-Step Saint Lord, and after cultivating for a period, she would soon reach the Nine-Step Saint Lord Realm.

If she continued Dual Cultivation with Chu Ying, this speed could be even faster.

Chu Ying smiled slightly and took her cold, soft jade hand.

This space was within the Vermillion Bird's body. Now that “Yama” was destroyed, there was no longer any meaning for it to exist.

Chu Ying sighed lightly, collected the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire from the space, and integrated it into the vermillion bird divine bone.

Through the vermillion bird divine bone, Chu Ying could also control this incomparably powerful flame.

Even the True Phoenix's Nirvana Fire was slightly inferior to the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, which also possessed the effect of Nirvana.

The next second.

Chu Ying and Ye Qingxian appeared outside, looking at the huge Vermillion Bird skeleton before them, Chu Ying's mood was very complex.

However, the true Vermillion Bird naturally couldn't have died here; this was merely a body shed by the Vermillion Bird during its Nirvana.

“The Vermillion Bird’s skeletal remains, I wonder how hard they are?”

Chu Ying thought for a moment, then decided to take the Vermillion Bird skeletal body; perhaps it would be useful later.

“We’re at the bottom of the cliff now, how do we get up?”

Ye Qingxian looked up, seeing a vast sea of clouds above, and beyond the clouds was the mountain Peak cliff where the Yin Yang Acacia Fruit grew.

Ye Qingxian looked at Chu Ying, her eyes filled with inquiry.

“How else can we go up?”

“Fly up, of course.”

Chu Ying chuckled softly, wrapped his arm around her impossibly slender willow waist, and swiftly soared upwards.

“Don’t move around, we’re flying. If you fall, I won’t be responsible.”

Noticing a soft jade hand exploring his body, Chu Ying lowered his head slightly and laughed.

Ye Qingxian ignored him, still doing what she wanted to do.

Left with no choice, Chu Ying leaned close to her jade-like ear and whispered two words.

Ye Qingxian’s jade-like face instantly turned crimson with shame, and she was both angry and annoyed.

“You say I’m burning? Then I’ll show you burning!”

But Ye Qingxian was also a strong-willed person, and immediately launched a fierce offensive.

It wasn't until the two of them broke through the sea of clouds and landed back on the cliff that Ye Qingxian finally ceased.

“My aloof and peerless Peak Lord Ye, I never saw you like this before?” Chu Ying said with a half-smile, his face full of teasing.

“Before was before… If you really miss it, I can re-enact it with you.” Ye Qingxian responded without a hint of politeness.
