170: Entering Eight Stars

Lu Xingchen r emoved the turtle shell a rray at the entrance of the medicinal garden and led the two to Miss Yun Li.

Looking at her head, it was clearly a Six-Star Martial Emperor.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Did you Breakthrough successfully?"

Miss Yun Li’s lips curved into a smile, "Of course! This spirit fruit r eally helped me a lot. If I had Cultivated normally, it would have taken several months to Breakthrough."

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "Now the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger."

Miss Yun Li softly said, "Don't worry about that. With your Cultivation speed, catching up to me is only a matter of time. Oh, and during my Breakthrough, did anyone else intrude?"

Lu Xingchen gravely said, "Yes. People from the Yin Yang Sect and the Dragon Seeking Gate came. Wan Chen was killed by me, and Li De ran away."

Upon hearing this, Miss Yun Li was greatly surprised.

"You killed Wan Chen? He's the Saint of the Dragon Seeking Gate, a Four-star Martial Emperor! Lu Xingchen, you're too abnormal!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It was just luck. But it's a pity Li De escaped. The news of me killing Wan Chen will definitely spread, and the Dragon Seeking Gate's revenge is inevitable."

Miss Yun Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are in the Cangxuan Sect for one day, our Cangxuan Sect will protect you. The Dragon Seeking Gate wants to seek revenge? No way!"

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile and said, "What if it's outside the Cangxuan Sect?"

Miss Yun Li paused, then softly said, "Then you can only rely on yourself. After all, the Cangxuan Sect cannot protect you forever."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Understood. Having strong personal strength is the most important thing. Let's continue forward!"

The four of them walked deeper into the Immortal Cave together.

An hour later, Lu Xingchen and Miss Yun Li discovered a room, luxurious and exquisitely designed.

Lu Xingchen gravely said, "Presumably, this room is where the Martial Ancestor Expert's corpse is located, right? What do you say, Miss Yun Li, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Miss Yun Li smiled and said, "Of course! Junior Brother Lu and I will go in; Long Yang and Hua Li, you two wait outside the door."

"Yes, sir!"

The two answered in unison.

Lu Xingchen and Miss Yun Li entered the room.

It was empty, except for a coffin.

They felt it would be inappropriate to forcefully open the coffin used by the Immortal Cave Owner.

Just as the two were about to leave, a voice suddenly came from the coffin.

"Two young friends, since you have entered my Immortal Cave, how can you leave without taking something?"

As soon as the voice fell, a Soul body flew out of the coffin.

It was a handsome middle-aged man.

Lu Xingchen cupped his fists and bowed to him, gravely saying, "Junior Lu Xingchen greets Senior! We did not intend to disturb Senior's rest and will leave immediately!"

The Soul body waved its hand and smiled, "No harm done. When I was young, I also did my fair share of killing for treasures and exploring Secret Realms, so I completely understand your intentions. Therefore, not only will I not blame you, but I will also give you an Opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was delighted and gravely said, "May I ask what resources Senior intends to give us?"

The Soul body smiled and said, "I can give you an empowerment, passing on my battle Qi to you, which should help you advance one minor Realm."

Lu Xingchen and Miss Yun Li exchanged glances, both with joy in their eyes.

"Thank you, Senior!" the two said in unison.

The Soul Power smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's begin!"

With that, he waved his sleeve, and a pink stream of battle Qi flew towards the two, merging into their bodies.

As the battle Qi entered his body, Lu Xingchen frowned.

He felt his body heating up, as if he had taken an aphrodisiac.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

The Soul body smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I Breakthrough to the Martial Ancestor Realm through the method of Dual Cultivation. Therefore, if you wish to inherit my power, you must also accept it together through Dual Cultivation."

Lu Xingchen: "..."

"Senior, you're being a bit too meddlesome! Miss Yun Li and I are close friends, but we have no romantic feelings for each other. Please stop, Senior. We would rather not accept this empowerment!"

Upon hearing this, the Soul body snorted coldly and said indifferently, "My power is not something you can take or leave as you please! This Dual Cultivation today, you must undergo it!"

Miss Yun Li was both shocked and angry, and she sharply said, "Old scoundrel, you're going too far!"

With that, she took out her blue-purple longbow and shot an arrow at the Soul body.

But Miss Yun Li's arrow passed directly through the Soul body, causing it no harm.

The Soul body smiled and said, "What a sharp arrow! Unfortunately, I am already a dead person; this attack is ineffective against me!"

With that, the Soul body waved its sleeve again.

More pink battle Qi flew towards the two.

Miss Yun Li's body went limp, her bow and arrow falling to the ground, a raging fire burning within her.

Lu Xingchen also immediately lost consciousness.

Under the guidance of the Soul body's pink battle Qi, the two embraced tightly (two thousand words omitted below).

Outside the room, Long Yang and Hua Li exchanged glances.

Long Yang gravely said, "It's been two hours already. Why haven't the Saintess and Lu Xingchen come out yet? Could they have encountered some danger?"

Hua Li's tone was also full of anxiety, "Damn it, there's a Restriction on this door; we can't get in! If something really happens to the Saintess, how will we explain it to the Sect?"

Long Yang gravely said, "Let's wait a bit longer. If they still haven't come out within a day, we'll return to the Sect Master to report."

As soon as Long Yang finished speaking, the door opened.

Lu Xingchen and Miss Yun Li walked out of the room one after another.

Lu Xingchen's expression was calm, showing no joy from receiving the empowerment.

Miss Yun Li's earlobes were still bright red.

Both of them had changed into different clothes.

Lu Xingchen's black long gown had turned gray, and Miss Yun Li's blue-purple long dress had turned sky blue.

Seeing the two emerge safely, Long Yang and Hua Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Li softly said, "Saintess, are you two alright? Why did it take so long?"

Miss Yun Li shook her head slightly, "It's nothing. It's just that the Immortal Cave Owner passed on battle Qi to us, and absorbing it takes some time."

Upon hearing this, Hua Li's face lit up with joy, "That's wonderful! Saintess, has your Realm now reached Seven-Star Martial Emperor?"

Miss Yun Li nodded slightly.

"That's right."

Hua Li then looked at Lu Xingchen and smiled, "Has Junior Brother Lu also Breakthrough?"

Lu Xingchen gravely said, "I have already reached the Realm of Eight-Star Martial King."

Hua Li smiled and said, "That's truly wonderful. I envy you two so much, being able to Breakthrough so quickly!"

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile and said, "Don't be so absolute. If it were you, you might not be willing to accept this Legacy."

Upon hearing this, Hua Li paused slightly and softly said, "Was the process of accepting the Legacy very painful?"

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile and said, "You could say that."
