195: Chapter 195 The Final Sprint! Mid-Nascent Soul Stage!

[Midnight.]

[The stone door of the Immortal Cave closed behind them, cutting off the moonlight.]

[Inside, the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.]

[Tang Xun looked at the person before him.]

[Zhang Ruowei had changed into a thin silk gown. Her jet-black hair was draped casually over her shoulders. Her Core Formation Mid-stage cultivation gave her entire being a faint spiritual glow, and her skin, illuminated by the Moonstones, was as lustrous as jade.]

["Ruowei, tonight, let us explore the final Profound Truth of the 'Swimming Dragon Plays with Phoenix Secret Art'."]

[Tang Xun's voice was very calm, as if he were stating something incredibly sacred.]

[Zhang Ruowei's heart skipped a beat.]

[Final Profound Truth?]

[These few words made her mouth go dry, and it felt as if a fire were burning within her body.]

[She could feel that tonight's "sermon" was different from any previous time.]

[This was both a test from the Grand Elder and a massive Opportunity on her path of the Dao.]

["Disciple... obeys."]

[Her voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling.]

[Tang Xun said no more, only stepping forward slowly and taking her hand.]

[Their fingers intertwined.]

[The Spiritual Qi in his body was like a gentle stream, slowly flowing into her Meridians, guiding her toward the stone bed.]

[The gown slipped off.]

[When the two were pressed together without any barriers, Tang Xun took a deep breath.]

[Not because of the spring scenery before him, but because of the blue Attribute Panel in his mind.]

[Main Cultivation Technique: Five Qi Towards Origin Sword Canon (nascent soul chapter) — Experience: 9,987,500/10,000,000.]

[Only twelve thousand five hundred points short.]

[This is like having one sliver of health left on the final BOSS in a game.]

[His gaze changed in an instant.]

[He was no longer the Grand Elder with eyes as calm as an ancient well, but the Workaholic from his previous life who stayed up for seven days and nights to hit his targets.]

["Come on!"]

[The "Swimming Dragon Plays with Phoenix Secret Art" was pushed to its full capacity!]

[A silent roar echoed in his heart.]

[Boom! Two distinct yet mutually attractive spiritual energies collided violently within their bodies, then blended, swirled, and sublimated at an unprecedented speed!]

[This was no longer the gentle "combing" from before, but a violent "charge"!]

[The Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Cave was instantly drained, forming a massive vortex with the two on the bed at its center.]

["Charge!"]

[Tang Xun's Divine Thought was locked onto that experience bar, and all his mind was focused on a single word.]

[Zhang Ruowei, in his arms, let out a muffled groan, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing tightly.]

[She felt like a small boat in the middle of raging waves, liable to be torn to pieces by this terrifying tide of spiritual energy at any moment.]

[But a wisp of pure Divine Thought sent by Tang Xun firmly protected her mind, allowing her to barely maintain a trace of clarity amidst this storm.]

[The numbers on the panel began to soar at an almost frantic speed.]

[9,987,500...]

[9,990,000!]

[Nine million nine hundred and ninety thousand!]

[With just one jump, it increased by a full two thousand five hundred points!]

[Tang Xun's heart twitched hard.]

[It works! And the effect is outstanding!]

[The "feedback" Zhang Ruowei, at the Core Formation Mid-stage, could provide far exceeded his imagination!]

["Faster."]

[He increased his "investment," and a stream of even purer Nascent Soul Origin power poured into Zhang Ruowei's body without hesitation.]

[To Zhang Ruowei, this power was no different from an Immortal Pill or divine medicine.]

[The round Golden Core in her body, under the repeated washing and tempering of this power, began to emit a brilliant golden light, spinning faster and faster.]

[The Core Formation Mid-stage Bottleneck that had troubled her for a long time shattered inch by inch before this unreasonable power.]

[An aura about to Breakthrough to the Late Core Formation Stage emanated from her.]

[In return, a stream of purer, more primal Taiyin Qi also surged from the depths of her Golden Core, pouring into Tang Xun's five elements nascent soul.]

[Tang Xun's five elements nascent soul let out a hum of comfort, its Five-colored Divine Light shining brightly.]

[The numbers on the panel went completely crazy.]

[9,992,300...]

[9,995,800...]

[9,998,100...]

[Every jump was like a heavy hammer, slamming hard against Tang Xun's chest.]

[His breathing had completely stopped, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared fixedly at the final gap.]

[Just a little more! Just the last bit!]

["Increase... for me!!!"]

[He pressed all of his remaining Origin power into it.]

[Zhang Ruowei could no longer withstand such a massive energy impact; with a soft moan, she completely lost consciousness.]

[But in the final moment before she fainted, the Golden Core in her body completed its final transformation, and a majestic surge of spiritual energy feedback, like a bursting dam, rushed toward Tang Xun.]

[The number on the experience bar, after stalling for a tenth of a second, completed its final jump.]

[9,999,999...]

[10,000,000/10,000,000!]

[Full!]

[Boom—!!!]

[An indescribably terrifying aura erupted from Tang Xun's body! It was as if a Vicious Beast that had slept for ages had opened its eyes at this moment.]

[Without giving him any time to react, the stone bed, stone table, prayer mat, and even the Moonstones on the walls in the Immortal Cave were instantly reduced to the finest dust under the pressure of this aura.]

[The entire Immortal Cave was razed to the ground!]

[But this was only the beginning.]

[Above the main peak of Shenfu Mountain, the sky suddenly darkened.]

[Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius, as if drawn by some fatal attraction, converged frantically, forming a Spiritual Qi funnel so large it blotted out the sun above Shenfu Mountain.]

[The tip of the funnel was precisely aimed at the ruins of the Immortal Cave where Tang Xun was.]

[In the next moment, Spiritual Qi poured down like a heavenly river!]

["What happened?!"]

["Is the sky falling?!"]

["It's in the direction of the Grand Elder's Immortal Cave!"]

[All the Disciples of Shenfu Mountain were scared out of their wits by this world-destroying sight. Countless people rushed out of their Immortal Caves, looking at the phenomenon in the sky in horror.]

[Even Zhou Waner and the other three, who had just come out of seclusion and were instructing their Disciples, stopped their movements, their faces full of shock.]

[Amidst the ruins.]

[Tang Xun slowly opened his eyes.]

[In those eyes, Five-colored Divine Light swirled, as if they contained a newly formed chaotic Universe.]

[Middle Stage Nascent Soul achieved.]

[He lowered his head and looked at his arms.]

[Zhang Ruowei lay quietly, her clothes in tatters, her body covered in traces of the pleasure they shared. She had fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive exhaustion, yet a satisfied smile still hung on the corner of her mouth.]

[Tang Xun looked at her with a complex expression.]

[There was the joy of Breakthrough, the satisfaction of his plan succeeding, and a trace of... inexplicable guilt and tenderness.]

[He shook his head, waved his hand to summon one of his green robes, and gently covered the perfect body.]

[Then, he looked up at the torrent of Spiritual Qi still frantically pouring down from the sky, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth.]

["Come it is."]

[Having just broken through, his body was feeling empty.]
