262: Chapter 262 Mortal Body Ning Rongrong
Cao Yang stood quietly within the vast and boundless Void Realm, his eyes fixed on the irregular, behemoth-like world before him, a wave of surprise welling up in his heart.
This mysterious Domain known as the Saint Source Realm was insignificant in scale compared to the vast Saint Realm, yet the majestic energy it radiated was far beyond anything the Saint Realm could compare to.
Undoubtedly, this meant that the Cultivation resources within the Saint Source Realm were comparatively more abundant and rich.
In the blink of an eye, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from all around Cao Yang. Like a bolt of lightning, he sped forward, easily crossing the Saint Source Realm's Barrier without receiving the slightest resistance from its Heavenly Dao.
After successfully stepping into this new world, Cao Yang did not hesitate to display a peerless Divine Ability, crossing the void as he sped toward the target location Hong Sipan had given him. Along the way, he moved with the speed of wind and lightning, his velocity truly staggering.
During this long journey, the goddess of luck seemed to favor Cao Yang exceptionally. He unexpectedly harvested an incredibly precious source crystal!
This source crystal was crystal clear, shimmering with a dazzling light and containing extremely dense, pure energy. From this, it was evident that the Cultivation resources in the Saint Source Realm indeed far surpassed those of the Saint Realm.
In fact, within the current Small Universe, the scenes of source crystal mines being everywhere had long ceased to exist in any corner.
Those rare source crystals could now only occasionally erupt from the deep void. However, even with such a rare Opportunity, it often took several long Year of Calamitys for a single small piece of source crystal to appear.
Before long, Cao Yang arrived at a secluded valley. Different from what he had imagined, there were neither towering pavilions nor majestic Peaks here. The entire valley was quiet and peaceful, as if isolated from the world.
No large School or power occupied this place; deep within the valley sat only a simple, ancient courtyard house built of wood.
However, this wood was no ordinary timber; it was all High Grade Saint-Grade wood.
Before coming, he had learned about Ning Rongrong's situation from Xinyue. Although Ning Rongrong Cultivated alone, the place she occupied was the most suitable treasure land for Cultivation in the Saint Source Realm, and the major top powers of the Realm had to regularly hand over Cultivation resources to her.
Cao Yang floated quietly in the air, maintaining a moderate distance from the wooden house. His gaze was locked onto the building, as if he wanted to peer through the closed doors and windows to see the situation inside.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong, who was inside the wooden house, was already feeling uneasy.
Because her true spirit had been severely damaged due to her failure in Undergoing Tribulation, she had actually failed to notice that an Extreme Dao Saint had already entered the Saint Source Realm.
It wasn't until that Extreme Dao Saint gradually approached and was only a stone's throw away that she realized things were going south.
However, at this point, she had already missed the best Opportunity to escape. Left with no choice, she could only pretend to be in secluded Cultivation.
One must know that once she chose to flee, the fact that she was heavily injured would be immediately exposed.
Furthermore, in the past, she was the most powerful Extreme Dao Saint in this Small Universe! To ensure her safety, she had specifically set up a powerful Barrier in this wooden house. This Barrier could not only block outside sight but also ensured that even fellow Extreme Dao Saints could not clearly see the specific situation inside the house.
Therefore, even knowing a strange Extreme Dao Saint was lingering nearby outside, Ning Rongrong kept her eyes closed and sat still, appearing calm as she continued her meditation, while her heart was actually in turmoil as she racked her brains for a way to deal with the crisis before her.
On the other side, seeing that the beautiful woman inside the house had no reaction to him and seemed to completely ignore his arrival, Cao Yang spoke up.
After waiting for a moment, he spoke loudly: "Miss Ning, I, Cao Yang, have come specifically to pay a visit. I ask that you show yourself for a meeting!" However, the only response he received was a heart-palpitating silence.
Cao Yang frowned slightly and spoke again: "Miss Ning, to tell you the truth, this Barrier you've set up is indeed powerful and can block ordinary Extreme Dao Saints. However, to me, it can be broken at will. Also, please believe me, I have absolutely no ill intent toward you." As soon as he finished speaking, he slightly released a trace of the terrifying aura belonging to an Extreme Dao Saint.
Sure enough, Ning Rongrong inside the house clearly heard what Cao Yang said. Her beautiful, closed eyes slowly opened, and her brows furrowed as if she had fallen into deep thought.
In reality, although Cao Yang possessed the Indestructible Holy Eye which was known as a Peak Saint Eye, because Ning Rongrong inside the wooden house was intentionally hiding her figure, coupled with the obstruction of the Barrier personally set by an Extreme Dao Saint, even the formidable Indestructible Holy Eye found it difficult to see through the situation inside the house completely.
If he wanted to get a clear look, he would probably have to break the solid Barrier before him.
After a brief moment of reflection, Ning Rongrong finally decided to get up and deactivate the Barrier.
After all, through the brief contact just now and her perception of Cao Yang's aura, she had already realized that the other party's strength far exceeded her own at her Peak.
If this person truly intended her harm, then she might only be able to risk using a forbidden technique to enter Reincarnation.
But for some reason, she did not feel the slightest bit of malice from Cao Yang. Moreover, with the powerful strength the other party displayed, if he really wanted to harm her, why would he waste his breath here?
Seeing Ning Rongrong open the door of the wooden house, Cao Yang's eyes lit up.
This woman was truly beautiful; among his women, perhaps only Liu Ruyan and Hong Sipan were more beautiful than her.
"Ding, detected a compatible conquest target: Ning Rongrong. Does the Master wish to view Ning Rongrong's information?"
"View!"
Conquest Target: Ning Rongrong
Realm: Extreme Dao Saint (Heavily Injured)
Beauty Rating: 99
Favorability: 45
Conquest Reward: 3 million sign-in attempts
Not bad, not bad at all. Truly a high-value beauty.
"I wonder what business the Young Master has in coming to find me?" Ning Rongrong was dressed in a snow-white dress, her jet-black long hair falling like a waterfall and lightly brushing against her porcelain-white cheeks.
Cao Yang smiled slightly and cupped his hands in greeting: "I have something here that you will surely be interested in. However, it is a long story. I wonder if I may enter for a chat so we can discuss it in detail?"
After a brief thought, Ning Rongrong nodded slightly and replied: "In that case, Young Master, please come in." After speaking, she stepped aside to clear the path, signaling him to enter.
Cao Yang stepped into the wooden house and frowned slightly after looking around. The furnishings inside were extremely simple and plain, with only a slightly worn prayer mat for meditation placed on the floor, and nothing else besides.
At this time, Ning Rongrong said softly: "I have always been obsessed with the Dao of secluded bitter Cultivation, so this place of Cultivation is inevitably a bit simple and shabby. I hope the Young Master will not laugh at it." As she spoke, she waved her hand casually. In an instant, a wooden square table and two matching round stools appeared out of thin air in the center of the originally empty room.
Cao Yang nodded inwardly at the sight, then walked to the table and slowly sat down, taking out an exquisite small teapot and two crystal-clear teacups from his robes and arranging them.
Then, he carefully lifted the lid, and a quiet, elegant tea fragrance immediately filled the air.
"Miss Ning, this is a top-grade Saint tea I obtained by Opportunity. I specifically brought it here today to share with you. I ask you to sample it." Having finished speaking, Cao Yang picked up a cup and took a light sip, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.
Ning Rongrong also extended her slender jade hand to pick up the other cup. She first brought it near her nose to sniff it, then opened her vermillion lips slightly and took a small sip. In a split second, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she praised: "Truly good tea! This quality is undoubtedly top-grade!"
"Thank you for this cup of fragrant tea, Young Master; the flavor is mellow and leaves a lasting impression. I wonder if the Young Master comes from outside the mysterious Small Universe? This little girl has never had the fortune of seeing someone with such outstanding temperament and powerful strength before," Ning Rongrong said softly, her lips curving up into a charming smile.
Cao Yang shook his head gently and said slowly: "You overpraise me, Miss. I have merely just broken through to the Extreme Dao Saint Realm. Furthermore, I was born in the territory governed by the Saint Realm, not a person from outside the Small Universe as you say."
Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes.
She thought to herself that the resources and opportunities within this Small Universe were almost all firmly controlled by the various Realm Lords. To be able to stand out from among them and become a new Extreme Dao Saint was simply inconceivable!
Yet the refined Young Master before her had achieved it; it was truly astonishing.
