116: Chapter 116 Master!

Luo Qingcheng slumped on the ground.

She stared longingly at the milky-white Marrow Cleansing Pool ahead.

The pool water was churning.

Meng Yudie and Yun Xiyue sat cross-legged with their eyes closed, soaking in the spiritual milk.

To the naked eye, the aura on both women was steadily climbing.

Yun Xiyue had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Her Realm should have required several years of refinement.

But at this moment, water spiritual energy surged around her, and her Realm was becoming incredibly solid at an extremely fast pace.

Meng Yudie was even more exaggerated.

Nurtured by the spiritual milk, her Natural Charm Bone became increasingly enchanting, and there were already faint signs of her breaking through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Luo Qingcheng watched this, her heart filled with anxiety.

This should have been her Opportunity!

It was her grand path to step into the Soul Transformation Stage and truly look down upon the younger generation of Qingzhou!

Now, it was being openly taken by others.

She bit her lower lip and looked up at Cao Kun, who stood by the pool, indifferent.

Why isn't this Devil Head anxious at all?

The Secret Realm's Laws are harsh; one can only stay for ten days at most.

The Immortal Palace is also boundlessly large; isn't he afraid of returning empty-handed?

“Hey!”

Luo Qingcheng truly couldn't suppress the torment in her heart and shouted at Cao Kun's back.

“Aren't you in a hurry to find the real Legacy?”

“Ten days will pass in the blink of an eye!”

Cao Kun stood in place without even turning his head.

He continued to enjoy the spring scenery in the pool.

Seeing his impervious attitude, Luo Qingcheng threw out her final trump card.

She had to fight for this chance.

“The internal space of this Immortal Palace is extremely vast, and the Formation passages are intricate and complex!”

“One slight mistake, and you'll be trapped to death inside.”

“Without the map that my Taiyi Dao Sect spent countless lives to figure out, you'll be searching aimlessly. It's impossible to find the Main Hall within ten days!”

As her voice fell, Cao Kun finally turned around.

Luo Qingcheng felt a surge of joy, thinking she had grasped the other party's weakness.

“Let me soak in the Marrow Cleansing Pool for a day, and I'll tell you the correct route to the Main Hall.”

She stated her condition, her tone becoming haughty again.

“For you, this is a deal where you can only gain and not lose.”

“Gain and not lose?”

Luo Qingcheng had calculated very well.

As long as she entered the Marrow Cleansing Pool, she might be able to take a step further with the help of the spiritual milk's massive energy.

When the time came and her strength surged, she might even be able to break through the Restriction set by this Devil Head!

Looking at Luo Qingcheng's confident expression, certain that he would compromise.

Cao Kun couldn't help but sneer.

She really is naive to the point of being a bit cute.

He knew better than anyone that the greatest Opportunity within these bronze doors was the Legacy of the Chaos God Emperor.

With the guidance of the chaos remnant sword, this Legacy was already in his pocket.

Where was there any room for her to lead the way?

With a thought from Cao Kun.

“Buzz!”

A pitch-black remnant sword emitting a terrifying aura of slaughter floated directly out of his chest and hovered in mid-air.

As soon as the remnant sword appeared, the blade vibrated violently.

It emitted bursts of spirited sword cries.

It pointed toward a location deep within the Immortal Palace.

That impatient posture.

It was just short of growing a mouth to shout, 'Big brother, this way.'

Cao Kun pointed at the remnant sword in mid-air and looked at Luo Qingcheng with a playful face.

“See that?”

“This thing of mine comes with its own fully automatic navigation.”

“It hits whatever it points at, with precise positioning.”

Cao Kun took two steps closer, looking down at her from above.

“It's ten thousand times more useful than that trashy map of yours that was filled in with human lives.”

Luo Qingcheng was stunned.

She stared blankly at the black sword that emitted an ancient aura.

She felt the Dao charm on the sword that shared the same origin as this Immortal Palace.

The small part of the route that the Taiyi Dao Sect had spent decades and lost countless Elders to figure out.

In front of this sword, it had become a joke.

She had completely lost the qualification to negotiate.

“If you really want to go in...”

Cao Kun leaned in a bit closer, his gaze sweeping across Luo Qingcheng's exquisite face, his tone becoming playful.

“You have to show some real sincerity.”

“What... sincerity?”

An ominous feeling rose in Luo Qingcheng's heart, and she subconsciously shrank back.

Cao Kun patted her somewhat stiff cheek and grinned wickedly.

“As long as you obediently call out, ‘Master! Please let me go in!’”

“I, this Elder, will show some mercy and let you soak for an hour. How about it?”

“In your dreams!”

Luo Qingcheng's blood surged, and she was filled with shame and indignation.

She was the Saintess of Taiyi! An Innate Dao Body that was hard to come by in ten thousand years!

She was an existence destined to ascend to the Upper Realm and look down upon all living beings in the future!

To make her beg a demonic cultivator for mercy?

“You shameless, vulgar Devil Head! Keep dreaming!”

“Even if I die here today and turn into a handful of yellow earth, it's absolutely impossible for me to acknowledge a demonic cultivator as my master!”

Her voice was crisp and forceful.

Cao Kun just curled his lip in boredom.

Her backbone is quite stiff.

It's just that these lines sound a bit familiar.

Who was the last person who said that?

Oh right, it was that ancient Empress Jiuyou who is still sleeping in my Dantian.

“Fine, you have backbone,”

“Then you can just stay here and watch.”

After saying that, Cao Kun didn't indulge her bad habit at all and turned to walk toward the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

“Plop!”

...

Water splashed in the pool.

“Ah!”

Luo Qingcheng screamed in fright.

She quickly closed her eyes and turned her head away.

Her pretty face was as red as a cooked crab.

“Offensive to public morals! Shameless! Vulgar brat!”

She gritted her teeth and cursed eighteen generations of Cao Kun's ancestors in her heart.

Her hearing was infinitely magnified in the darkness.

The sound of water splashed loudly.

The atmosphere of water and milk blending together made her feel restless.

She wept secretly in her heart.

She had imagined entering the Marrow Cleansing Pool countless times.

It should have been burning incense and bathing, with no distracting thoughts, solemnly receiving the baptism of the spiritual liquid.

But now.

This sacred place of Opportunity was actually made foul by this Devil Head!

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

Hearing the sound of water gradually subside, she really couldn't suppress her desire for the Opportunity.

She quietly opened her eyes and peeked toward the Marrow Cleansing Pool through the gaps in her eyelashes.

With this look, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

“How could this be?”

Luo Qingcheng discovered in horror.

The milky-white spiritual liquid that was originally full and about to overflow the pool's edge.

At this moment, more than half of it had been forcefully sucked away!

The water level had dropped by several feet!

What on earth is that Devil Head doing?

Can he absorb so much spiritual energy alone?

At this moment,

Cao Kun sat cross-legged in the center of the pool.

He was surrounded by grey-black Chaos Qi.

That Chaos Qi was like a bottomless pit, crazily devouring the essence in the pool water.

Meng Yudie and Yun Xiyue had obviously benefited a lot along with him.

Luo Qingcheng completely panicked now.

At this rate of absorption, if it continued.

In less than two days, not a single drop of this pool of spiritual milk that seized the creation of heaven and earth would be left!

Sensing Luo Qingcheng's gaze.

Cao Kun turned his head and met Luo Qingcheng's terrified and anxious eyes.

“This pool looks quite large, why is it so easily drained?”

“Lady Saintess, if you don't come down now, you won't even be able to catch the foot-washing water later.”

“You...” Luo Qingcheng was furious.

“Master~ don't make things difficult for the Lady Saintess.”

Beside him, Meng Yudie immediately understood.

She leaned against Cao Kun's shoulder and fanned the flames sarcastically.

“The Lady Saintess's backbone is really stiff, unyielding even in the face of death.”

“I just wonder, with this body that hasn't soaked in spiritual milk, will she still be able to keep the position of the Taiyi Dao Sect's number one Prodigy after going out?”

Meng Yudie covered her red lips and giggled repeatedly.

“I heard that the competition in the Taiyi Dao Sect is very fierce.”

“If she is surpassed by those Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters below...”

“Tsk tsk. The once high and mighty Saintess, falling from her pedestal...”

This sentence accurately stepped on Luo Qingcheng's fatal weakness.

In the cultivation world, strength is respected.

Inside the Taiyi Dao Sect, it was even more cruel.

The reason she could look down on everyone was because of her Innate Dao Body and her leading cultivation level.

If she watched this peerless Opportunity slip away this time.

In the future, she would be surpassed by other geniuses in the Sect who had entered the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

Proud as she was, she absolutely could not endure such an ending!

The fatal temptation of the Opportunity.

The fear of being surpassed.

Added to the powerlessness of being bound by the immortal binding rope.

Under the pressure from several sides.

Luo Qingcheng finally couldn't hold on any longer.

“Mas...”

“Mas... Master.”

“Hmm?”

Cao Kun picked his ear and interrupted mercilessly.

“Who are you calling? Are you humming like a mosquito?”

“Also, these lines aren't right!”

“Isn't something missing? How did I teach you just now?”

Luo Qingcheng looked up, and the tears that had been accumulating in her eyes finally burst out.

She completely abandoned all her dignity and bottom line.

She shouted toward the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

“Master!”

“Please! Let me go in!”

Looking at the high and mighty Saintess of Taiyi, now begging humbly like a beggar.

Cao Kun smiled with satisfaction.

He hooked his finger at Luo Qingcheng and spat out two words.

“Good girl.”

Almost at the same time,

In Cao Kun's mind, the System notification sound that made him incredibly happy rang out:
