223: Chapter 223 is simply genius

The Asking Dao Realm Third Stage Foundation was like a dormant volcano within her, and at this moment, it was ignited by the majestic Qi and blood of the Saint Realm, erupting with a roar!

Her cultivation began to climb.

Asking Dao Realm Third Stage—Asking Dao Realm Fourth Stage!

Breakthrough!

The red-gold liquid in the Blood Pool surged into her body frantically, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea. That vitality, dense enough to almost solidify, rampaged through her Meridians, reshaping every inch of her flesh and refining every bone.

Asking Dao Realm Fifth Stage!

Asking Dao Realm Sixth Stage!

Outside the valley, the group of Cultivators was completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Qiankun sat heavily on the ground. The hoe in his hand rolled to his feet with a clatter, but he did not even notice, only staring wide-eyed at the figure in white within the Blood Pool.

"Ask... Asking Dao Realm... Sixth Stage?"

His voice sounded like it was squeezed from his throat, carrying a tremor of near-speechlessness.

Jin Dali was even more struck by lightning, the color draining completely from his face.

He had lived for over a thousand years and had never seen anyone achieve a Breakthrough in the Asking Dao Realm as easily as eating or drinking.

That was the Asking Dao Realm, where every stage was a chasm!

Which ordinary Cultivator, when breaking through from the Asking Dao Realm Third Stage to the Sixth, had not spent hundreds of years in bitter Cultivation, hovering on the edge of life and death dozens of times, just to even touch that threshold!

Yet that woman—she had only sat in the Blood Pool for a moment. She had broken through to the Asking Dao Realm Sixth Stage just like that.

"Im... Impossible..." Jin Dali muttered to himself, his voice filled with a near-collapsing bewilderment. "This is impossible..."

No one paid him any mind. Everyone's gaze was locked firmly on the Blood Pool because the aura of that figure in white was still climbing!

Asking Dao Realm Seventh Stage!

Asking Dao Realm Eighth Stage!

The red-gold Saint blood in the Blood Pool, that dense power of Qi and blood, was being frantically devoured as if by an invisible giant mouth, all surging into Luo Qingyue's body.

A layer of pale golden light slowly emerged on the surface of her body, as if she had been plated with a thin layer of gold, emitting the pressure only a Saint Realm Yao Beast would possess.

Asking Dao Realm Ninth Stage!

Her aura stabilized at the Asking Dao Realm Ninth Stage, finally stopping its ascent.

Luo Qingyue slowly opened her eyes.

Within those cool, aloof eyes, two silver-white flashes of brilliance flickered and vanished, like moonlight passing over a cold pool, carrying an extreme, biting chill.

She lowered her head to look at her hands—fair as jade, her fingertips seemingly glowing with a faint spiritual light, each finger containing the power to shake mountains.

She stood up.

The red-gold liquid slid off her, splashing into the Blood Pool with a "hissing" sound.

She stepped out of the Blood Pool, her white clothes like snow, not a drop of blood staining them.

Outside the valley, there was a deathly silence. The crowd of Cultivators huddled at the edge of the valley, yet not a single person could make a sound.

Zhao Qiankun stood with his mouth agape, staring blankly at the figure in white, his mind buzzing.

He remembered very clearly that a few years ago, he had seen Luo Qingyue from afar at a banquet in Guangnan City. Back then, although she was the number one Prodigy of the Southern Region, she was only at the Dharma Image Realm.

It had only been a few years. In just a few years, she was already at the Asking Dao Realm Sixth Stage?

Chen Jiuzhou was even worse off, slumped on the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.

He recalled how they had once thought about opposing the Shen Family, believing that with the Tiangang Sect backing them, they could suppress the Shen Family. Thinking back on it now, it was simply a joke.

Jin Dali stood behind the crowd, his face as pale as paper.

He looked at Luo Qingyue, then at the still-churning red-gold Blood Pool, and the last shred of luck in his heart was completely crushed.

Asking Dao Realm Ninth Stage.

This was a cultivation level even more terrifying than their Lieyang Sect's Old Ancestor!

Never mind comparing her to that mysterious Ninth Elder of the Shen Family, even this maid was someone their Lieyang Sect could not afford to provoke!

"Just how many monsters... is the Shen Family hiding..." He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse.

He remembered how, when he was first thrown into the Secret Realm, he had clamored that "The Lieyang Sect will not let the Shen Family go." Thinking about it now, it was laughable to the extreme.

Luo Qingyue did not look at the people behind her. She simply lifted her head, looking toward the grey, hazy sky, a glimmer of warmth flashing through her cool, aloof eyes.

Now that her strength had greatly increased, she could do more for Young Master.

Ripples appeared in the Void Realm. Shen Qingyuan's figure appeared first, and behind him, three figures stepped out of the void: Shen Yuanshan, Shen Yuanhe, and Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin.

Shen Yuanshan looked at Luo Qingyue and said in surprise, "I did not expect Miss Shen to have broken through to the Asking Dao Realm so early; it is truly humbling!"

Beside him, Shen Yuanhe and Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin were also full of shock. An Asking Dao Realm Cultivator in their twenties—this was simply unheard of.

You must know, three years ago, Luo Qingyue was only at the Dharma Image Realm. But thinking of this, the three men's gazes all turned toward Shen Qingyuan in unison.

Luo Qingyue being able to have such a great change definitely had something to do with Shen Qingyuan. In this world, it was likely only Shen Qingyuan who could Cultivate such a person.

Shen Qingyuan ignored their shock, simply turning his head to glance at Luo Qingyue standing by the Blood Pool, his tone casual: "How is it?"

Luo Qingyue nodded slightly, a rare hint of softness appearing between her cool, aloof brows: "The Foundation is solid, the Qi and blood are full, and the Asking Dao Realm Ninth Stage is completely stabilized. If I spend some time consolidating, perhaps I can attempt a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Shen Yuanshan and the other two froze instantly. Shen Yuanshan jerked his head around, staring fixedly at Luo Qingyue, his mouth opening and closing, opening and closing, yet he could not utter a single word.

They had originally thought their Shen Family was hiding deep enough, but they had not expected this Luo Qingyue to be hiding even deeper. She was truly worthy of being Shen Qingyuan's person!

Shen Qingyuan turned to look at the three people beside him and smiled: "Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, you should go in and Cultivate as well."

"This Blood Pool contains a large amount of Saint blood. If you go in and Cultivate for a while, your strength will also make great progress."

Hearing this, Shen Yuanshan did not say a word and strode toward the Blood Pool. Shen Yuanhe and Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin exchanged glances and followed without hesitation.

The moment the three stepped into the Blood Pool, the red-gold liquid surged and boiled as if it had been ignited. Vitality, dense enough to almost solidify, surged frantically into their bodies through their pores.

Shen Yuanshan let out a muffled groan. Fine golden patterns instantly appeared on the surface of his skin—this was the external manifestation of the power of Qi and blood frantically scouring his Meridians and refining his Physical Body.

His cultivation began to climb.

Shen Yuanshan's aura was the first to break through the Bottleneck. Primal Chaos Realm Fourth Stage!

A spiritual power fluctuation, several times thicker than before, erupted from his body, shaking the surface of the pool and causing water to splash everywhere. The red-gold liquid splashed onto the edge of the pool, making a "hissing" sound.

Following closely, Shen Yuanhe also broke through. Primal Chaos Realm Third Stage!

Then it was Seventh Elder Shen Yuanlin. Primal Chaos Realm Third Stage!

Although the three of them could not compare to the unstoppable momentum Luo Qingyue had just shown, the sight of breaking through multiple stages in succession was still shocking enough to the world if seen outside.

Outside the valley, there was dead silence. Zhao Qiankun sat on the ground, completely unable to speak.

His mind was blank. Staring at the three figures in the Blood Pool glowing with golden light, he only felt that everything before him was completely absurd.

A few months ago, when those people from the Shen Family were dealing with his Zhao Family, they had only revealed their cultivation at the Peak of the Dharma Image Realm.

Even at the Canglang Mountain Assembly not long ago, what they claimed to the outside world was only the Void Piercing Realm.

But now—these three guys sitting in the Blood Pool taking a bath were actually in the Primal Chaos Realm! Genuine Primal Chaos Realm! And damn it, three of them appeared at once!

Chen Jiuzhou slumped beside Zhao Qiankun, his whole body trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind. His lips quivered, and it took him a long while to squeeze out a disjointed sentence from between his teeth: "Back then... which nerve of ours went wrong that we dared to challenge the Shen Family?"

As soon as he said this, the few Elders of the Zhao Family and Chen Family beside him also lowered their heads in unison, wishing they could bury their faces in the ground.
