126: Bai Lingxi: Come on, you're lucky!

This clear spring was nestled among several sand dunes.

It wasn't large, only about a hundred square meters in area.

The water quality was extremely clear.

However, this water was clearly not ordinary clear water; a gentle breeze blowing across the surface only created subtle, heavy ripples.

The entire surface of the water looked like thick, dense, clear glue.

"The Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring has absorbed all the Spiritual Qi within the Yellow Springs Desert for a long time, forming a dense liquid state."

Bai Lingxi had seen the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring before, and understood it better than anyone, so she was even more curious how Su Yang planned to use it to Breakthrough his Cultivation, "The Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring is the most Yin and cold substance in the world. Theoretically, it counters your Pure Yang Body. How will you use it to Breakthrough?"

Su Yang stood atop a sand dune, gazing at the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring below, his eyes firm as he said, "Jump in!"

"Are you trying to die?!"

Bai Lingxi's expression changed, and she said, "The periphery of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring is already so terrifying. If you jump straight in, you won't be able to resist its extreme cold, and your true essence will be instantly drained. This is a suicide attempt!"

Su Yang, however, said with great determination, "If only I jump in, it might truly be suicide, but if both of us go in together, that's a different story."

"You're trying to kill yourself and drag me along?"

Bai Lingxi gave him a proper glare.

Su Yang said, "Sect Master Bai, do you think I went to all this trouble, going to the Hehuan Sect to find you, and then Transmigrating through the Yellow Springs Desert, just to come here to die? How is one death different from another? If I really wanted to die, why would I bother to die here?"

That was true.

Bai Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly, and she asked, "Are you sure your Breakthrough requires entering the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring?"

Su Yang nodded affirmatively!

At the same time, he activated his true essence to float cross-legged in the air, slightly above the yellow sand on the ground.

Su Yang patted his thighs and said to Bai Lingxi, "Sect Master Bai, come sit down. It's truly time for you to help me Breakthrough!"

Bai Lingxi: ... Hearing this, her face instantly flushed.

Although she had long been mentally prepared to use herself to help him Breakthrough, now that the moment had truly arrived, she couldn't help but feel a primal sense of feminine shame.

This shame was not something that could be easily suppressed by a Cultivator's powerful Cultivation.

"Sect Master Bai, we're already at the edge of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, so don't be shy."

"When I return to the Sect with you, we still have 2000 years of Dual Cultivation ahead."

Su Yang patted his thigh again, urging her to hurry up, and as he spoke, he took another purple gold pill and consumed it. The consumption of true essence while floating in the air was more than ten times faster than simply standing.

"I know... you're getting off easy..."

Bai Lingxi lightly bit her red lip and sat down on Su Yang's lap.

Since things had come to this, retreating was meaningless, so... "Ah—!"

Bai Lingxi let out a startled cry.

Just as she was thinking, she felt a sudden distending pain, and then she realized that all her Cultivation had been completely suppressed in an instant. This feeling of suddenly becoming an ordinary person made her instinctively grasp Su Yang's shoulders.

In that instant, the look in her eyes had subtly changed.

Bai Lingxi snorted and punched him in the chest, complaining, "You could have said something..."

"You have no experience; the more I tell you, the more afraid you'll be."

Su Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the urges that hadn't erupted in months.

He said, "Did you notice? Our true essence stopped draining."

Only then did Bai Lingxi notice that after the two of them became one, the rapidly draining true essence had indeed stopped.

Su Yang's own super strong absorption ability reabsorbed the scattered Spiritual Qi, and both their true essences no longer dissipated outwards, which immediately eased their pressure considerably.

"What kind of Physique do you have, kid? It's simply incredible."

Bai Lingxi looked at the face so close to her with a look of surprise.

She didn't know if it was because of their current intimate connection, but looking at him, her heart inexplicably began to beat faster.

Su Yang smiled without a word.

At this moment, he didn't want to answer her questions; he only wanted to quickly enter the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring and begin his Breakthrough.

Bai Lingxi's Cultivation was suppressed.

Su Yang was in control.

The two of them, in a cross-legged posture, floated down towards the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring.

Approaching the water's surface, there was no cold Qi, only bone-chilling cold.

"Are you ready?"

Su Yang looked at Bai Lingxi.

Bai Lingxi nodded.

Su Yang took a deep breath.

It wasn't that he needed the oxygen, but rather to make a final mental adjustment before entering the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring.

The two nodded to each other.

Then,

"Plop~~~"

A dull sound rang out.

Su Yang and Bai Lingxi sank slowly as if falling into viscous glue.

The moment Su Yang touched the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, the most Yin and cold substance between heaven and earth, the massive Spiritual Qi accumulated within it over countless years was instantly stirred by Su Yang's powerful Innate Kidney Body, and began to surge continuously into the bodies of Su Yang and Bai Lingxi.

At this moment, Bai Lingxi and Su Yang were connected through the giant spirit root. Two Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Roots, one Pure Yang Body, one Pure Yang Body, Yin and Yang complementing each other to form a subtle whole.

Yin and Yang complemented each other, and with the resonance of two Water Spiritual Roots, vast Spiritual Qi like a boundless ocean entered their bodies.

Not only that,

Su Yang was surprised to find that Bai Lingxi, as another one of his women, further amplified his Cultivation efficiency after entering a Dual Cultivation state with him.

Strange!

How could it work again with her!?

Su Yang was puzzled, but at this moment, there was no time to investigate this question.

At this moment, both kidneys glowed with an intense blue light, and the four colored Seal strips on the outer layer of both kidneys also erupted with bright light.

The Innate Kidney Body entered a state of complete autonomous operation, running at full power, absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Qi and converting it into true essence, providing Su Yang with a continuous supply of true essence.

Su Yang began to attempt a Breakthrough.

He once again entered the interior of the Nascent Soul Stage barrier.

As soon as he entered, Su Yang was surprised to find a blurry humanoid figure quietly standing inside.

Su Yang recognized at a glance that this was the woman he had seen when the divine sword acknowledged its master.

"That day, after she and the Spiritual Qi from the divine sword merged into my body, she disappeared. How did she reappear?"

Su Yang looked at the humanoid figure before him, puzzled.

As Su Yang was perplexed, this beauty smiled gently at Su Yang, then transformed into a misty cloud that enveloped Su Yang, merging with Su Yang's Divine Sense.

Su Yang: ... Is this to help me Breakthrough the Nascent Soul Bottleneck!?

Su Yang was confused!

And no one answered his confusion.

"I am the master of the divine sword, so she wouldn't harm me!"

If she wanted to harm him, she would have done so long ago; why wait until now?

Su Yang thought this and no longer focused his mind and energy on this matter, instead concentrating all his attention on his own Breakthrough.

This time, Su Yang did not violently charge the barrier immediately.

Instead, he walked to the edge of the barrier and observed it all around.

Compared to the formless barrier of the Golden Core Stage, this Nascent Soul Stage barrier was actually a tangible, visible, and touchable solid barrier.

This barrier was entirely condensed from true essence, incredibly thick.

To Breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Stage, one must break this completely enclosed space from within.

What exactly was this enclosed space?

In fact,

Xuan Yan and Xuan Jian, the two Grand Elders, had already told him the answer on their way to Tiangong Pavilion.

This enclosed barrier space was actually a tiny, condensed core bubble within his own Golden Core. Every Cultivator's Golden Core condensed core had such an empty bubble that couldn't be fully solidified, reserved for the Cultivator to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul.

The smaller the Golden Core and the thinner its outer wall, the simpler the Breakthrough.

Because less power is required to Breakthrough the barrier, the weaker the Foundation after the Breakthrough.

Conversely,

The larger and more solidified the Golden Core, the greater the difficulty of the Breakthrough.

However, because stronger power is needed to Breakthrough, the higher the strength after the Breakthrough.

Thinking of his Golden Core, which was abnormal in both size and texture, Su Yang already anticipated that the difficulty of breaking his Golden Core from within to form a Nascent Soul would far exceed that of others.

But!

Now with the help of Bai Lingxi and the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring!

The opportunity for Breakthrough had arrived!

Su Yang took a deep breath and simply sat cross-legged in the center, continuously gathering true essence within himself.

The Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring provided a massive amount of Spiritual Qi, and Bai Lingxi could resonate with him, providing even stronger absorption and conversion rates. At this moment, under Su Yang's full exertion of his cultivation, a continuous stream of true essence rapidly condensed.

His Divine Sense was gradually forming a semi-solid existence due to the massive amount of true essence.

But Su Yang himself didn't realize that this condensed entity was gradually taking on the appearance of a woman...
