178: One shot blasts open a smooth path to immortality!

Miao Qingsha herself couldn't imagine that one day she would be able to absorb the external Spiritual Qi with such high efficiency, nor could she ever imagine being able to convert Spiritual Qi into True Essence at such a terrifying speed.

Because Miao Qingsha was already in the Bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and this Bottleneck had existed for a long time, her Nascent Soul did not grow rapidly despite absorbing a large amount of True Essence.

But this doesn't mean her Nascent Soul didn't change.

After absorbing a large amount of True Essence, her Nascent Soul began to emit a faint spiritual glow.

This spiritual glow became stronger and stronger as more True Essence was absorbed.

Five days later, the spiritual glow on the Nascent Soul had transformed into a cocoon of light, completely engulfing and wrapping it.

At this point, the spiritual glow had converged somewhat, looking like a pure white silkworm cocoon. Although it was glowing, the light seemed to be constrained.

Another two days passed.

Intense light began to erupt from within the cocoon of light. The cocoon could no longer contain the internal light and started to crack.

The strong light thus seeped out through the cracks. As more cracks appeared, more light was revealed.

Finally, with a 'bang', the cocoon of light shattered.

The Nascent Soul, accompanied by light, reappeared in Miao Qingsha's Dantian.

At this moment, Miao Qingsha's Nascent Soul finally welcomed its long-awaited growth once more, taking a significant step closer to becoming a Nascent Soul identical to Miao Qingsha herself.

"I succeeded... I finally Broke Through..."

Miao Qingsha suddenly opened her eyes, her entire expression filled with unparalleled joy and excitement.

But... the feeling she accumulated during these seven days of Breakthrough was extraordinary. With such excitement in her heart, her body also became excited.

She remained slumped on Su Yang's shoulder, not daring to lift her head for a long time.

Su Yang had just exited his Cultivation state at this time, and naturally couldn't remain indifferent after such an impact.

This,

made Miao Qingsha even more afraid to look up.

She really hadn't anticipated this particular moment.

She hadn't anticipated Su Yang.

And she certainly hadn't anticipated herself.

But now the Cultivation was over, and she had successfully completed the Breakthrough from Nascent Soul Middle Stage to Nascent Soul Late-Stage with Su Yang's help. There was no reason to keep sitting there.

Miao Qingsha finally raised her head, pretending to be calm.

She said, "Su Yang, thank you! My biggest wish these past years was to be able to Break Through the Bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Now my dream has finally come true, and I can finally Cultivate properly again. Thank you so much!"

Miao Qingsha's gratitude at this moment was completely genuine.

Every Bottleneck on the path of Cultivation is like a giant boulder blocking the long immortal path. The boulder she encountered was incredibly huge, and she couldn't overcome or shatter it with her own strength. This boulder completely blocked her immortal path, preventing her from moving forward.

This plunged her into despair, making her believe several times that her immortal path ended here.

Unexpectedly, Su Yang helped her shatter this giant boulder that stood in her immortal path, making her immortal path smooth and clear again.

Not only that.

Su Yang also completely resolved the issue of abnormal Spiritual Qi that restricted her Breakthrough. This means that when she wants to Break Through to the Nascent Soul Late-Stage Peak and enter the Soul Transformation Stage in the future, she will at least not be unable to Break Through and advance due to this abnormal Spiritual Qi.

What made Miao Qingsha even more grateful to Su Yang was the 'blast' with which Su Yang helped her smash the giant boulder blocking her path, making her immortal path wider and smoother, and easier to traverse.

Why say that?

Because!

Her Meridians, after being tempered by Su Yang's True Essence Fire, became tougher and wider, able to withstand stronger power and to contain the burst of even more powerful Spiritual Qi and True Essence.

This improvement gained from tempering in the True Essence Fire was even several times more significant than her Breakthrough from Nascent Soul Middle Stage to Nascent Soul Late-Stage.

For any immortal Cultivator, stronger and wider Meridians are the Foundation for bearing greater power!

It was precisely because of all this that Miao Qingsha's gaze towards Su Yang at this moment truly showed heartfelt gratitude.

Perhaps there were also some special reasons known only to herself, as her eyes, when looking at Su Yang, even held a unique glint, different from mere gratitude.

Su Yang couldn't decipher all the information in her gaze, but after all, the deeply integrated sensory ability was extraordinary. Su Yang could feel her absolute gratitude.

Su Yang smiled faintly: "No need for thanks. You know my Cultivation method is special; in fact, I also gained some unusual Cultivation benefits from you."

Su Yang didn't specifically tell her what kind of Cultivation benefits they were.

After all, the Cultivation benefits obtained from her were temporary, unless... he ensured one Cultivation session per year! Only then could he maintain the thirty percent Cultivation boost she provided!

Once a year... "What's wrong...?"

Miao Qingsha, seeing the unusual look in his eyes, casually asked.

"Nothing."

Su Yang shrugged with a smile, looking at Miao Qingsha in front of him.

Miao Qingsha, being looked at by him, felt her already flushed face redden even more. It took her a while to remember that her wish had been fulfilled, she had successfully broken through, and it was time to get up.

Was Su Yang's smile mocking her for being reluctant to get up...!?

"Thank you, Su Yang."

Miao Qingsha rose, holding onto Su Yang's shoulder.

Although her cultivation base immediately recovered the moment she detached from Su Yang, and was significantly stronger due to her Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Late-Stage, the continuous seven-day Breakthrough cycle left her body weak and numb, causing her to stagger back repeatedly until she leaned against the cave wall to stop.

By this time, the spiritual mist in the cave had long been completely absorbed by them. Although the spiritual glow on the cave walls was much weaker, the entire cave was relatively clear and bright.

Miao Qingsha had nowhere to hide and could only pretend to be calm as she dealt with the inevitable awkwardness.

Su Yang smiled faintly.

If it were Wen Yunyao or the others, he might tease them a bit, but Miao Qingsha's identity, from any perspective, was vastly different from theirs.

So Su Yang merely smiled faintly and said nothing.

While Miao Qingsha was handling things, Su Yang finally couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Su Yang stood up and asked, "Madam, I have a question I want to ask you. Although it might be a bit presumptuous, I'm genuinely curious."

"What question?"

Miao Qingsha tried her best to appear calm.

However, being calm meant being able to withstand Su Yang's gaze, but she now seemed to be struggling to withstand it. For some reason, after this Breakthrough, looking at Su Yang made her heart pound uncontrollably.

"Although it sounds a bit strange to say this, but... Madam, I'm not your first man, am I?"

Miao Qingsha was stunned, not expecting Su Yang to ask such a question...
