197: Revitalization

Soon, Ding Xiaoyu felt an itch all over her body.

A layer of black mud, accompanied by a foul odor, emerged on her fair skin.

"What is this!"

Ding Xiaoyu was still startled by it.

However, Chen Tianming was accustomed to such sights. "Go take a bath. These things will force all the impurities out of your body. You'll see when you look in the mirror later."

Hearing Chen Tianming's words, Ding Xiaoyu was not as flustered as before.

She quickly went to bathe.

Under the rinse of clear water, the black mud on Ding Xiaoyu's body was quickly washed away.

After ensuring every inch of her skin was clean, Ding Xiaoyu changed into a bath robe.

Ding Xiaoyu walked to the mirror.

At this moment, her skin had actually become even better.

She was already beautiful.

Now, under the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill, she had transformed into an even more exquisite version of herself.

"This is unbelievable..."

She gently caressed her face.

Ding Xiaoyu still couldn't believe it was real.

After coming out of the bathroom, Ding Xiaoyu happily sought out Chen Tianming.

When Chen Tianming saw Ding Xiaoyu approaching him in a bath robe, the excitement he had suppressed once again resurfaced.

Chen Tianming immediately pulled Ding Xiaoyu into his embrace.

A hint of shyness still lingered on Ding Xiaoyu's face.

"You... Wuwu..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Tianming directly kissed her.

An ambiguous atmosphere quickly filled the room again.

The outside world was brightly lit before Chen Tianming finally reluctantly let go of Ding Xiaoyu.

They quickly got dressed.

"Oh, right, there's something I haven't had a chance to tell you."

Last night, Ding Xiaoyu hadn't found time to discuss serious matters with Chen Tianming.

She finally remembered it now.

"Guan Yue discovered this when he was cultivating. First, there was a sudden surge of spiritual energy, and now there are signs of its revival. When heaven and earth reconnect, there will be more power between heaven and earth, which is a great opportunity for Cultivators."

As she spoke, Ding Xiaoyu tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "This was originally a secret between us. Guan Yue only told me, but now that he and I have no ties, I naturally have to tell you."

This news came just in time.

Chen Tianming instantly recalled the cultivation pillar he and Wan Yue had discovered underground yesterday.

It seemed Guan Yue had sensed this, which was why he built such a place underground to facilitate his cultivation improvement.

The revival of spiritual energy was not a matter of a day or two. Guan Yue's rapid cultivation improvement over the years was probably due to this reason.

"Alright, I understand. I'm very happy that you're willing to tell me this."

Chen Tianming hugged Ding Xiaoyu.

Ding Xiaoyu seemed to sense something.

There was a hint of shyness in her eyes as she looked at Chen Tianming, but she didn't dodge.

The two lingered in an ambiguous atmosphere in the room for a while longer before reluctantly parting.

Chen Tianming then headed straight for Wan Yue's room.

Inside, Wan Yue had already woken up and was meditating.

She held her breath and closed her eyes tightly, but the color in her face was significantly better than before.

Wan Yue didn't react when Chen Tianming entered the room.

But she clearly sensed his presence.

After a long while, Wan Yue withdrew the energy within her body, then exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and her complexion looked much better than before.

"How do you feel?"

Chen Tianming calmly approached Wan Yue and asked softly.

"My strength has indeed returned somewhat, and the spiritual energy here seems to be more abundant than I imagined."

Wan Yue said, a smile even appearing on her face at this moment.

Wan Yue was well aware of how much benefit staying here could bring her.

Now, she was somewhat reluctant to leave.

"I didn't expect your perception in this regard to be so sharp; you were indeed right."

Under Wan Yue's slightly puzzled gaze, Chen Tianming quickly relayed everything Ding Xiaoyu had just told him to Wan Yue.

"So, this means we'll have to fight for these cultivation resources."

Wan Yue's expression became a bit more serious. "If other Cultivators also seize this opportunity to snatch resources, it won't be an easy task."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Chen Tianming could clearly feel that his strength was greater than before.

Even his former Land Immortal realm was far from reaching his current abilities.

"With my comprehension, breaking through quickly is absolutely not a problem."

Looking into Chen Tianming's eyes, Wan Yue smiled.

"I believe you."

To prevent Guan Yue from returning and to improve his cultivation faster, Chen Tianming decided to stay here with his people.

Every day, he was either with Ding Xiaoyu or dual cultivating with Wan Yue.

As for Seventeen and the others, they now had a foundation under Chen Tianming's leadership.

Since Chen Tianming refused to leave, there was no need to mention the others; they naturally wanted to stay here and cultivate with him.

"How much your cultivation improves these days depends entirely on you. If the difference is too great, don't blame me for settling scores with you."

Chen Tianming's words were a command to these people.

His subordinates naturally didn't utter a single word of defiance.

The once bustling Tianyuan Clan tribe was now completely controlled by Chen Tianming's people.

"I wonder how much longer that guy Guan Yue can endure."

Chen Tianming pondered in his heart.

At the same time, he knew.

That guy Guan Yue would never give up.

He must be hiding somewhere cultivating, just to deal with him.

Now that spiritual energy was reviving, improving cultivation was much easier than before, so he also needed to consolidate his own abilities.

The next time he saw Guan Yue, he absolutely couldn't let that guy remain in this world!

As Chen Tianming thought, a hint of cold light appeared in his sharp eyes.

In the cave—

The surroundings were vast and empty, with a layer of white mist outside, like a fairyland.

Although the environment was beautiful, it was not a good place for peaceful cultivation.

"Hmph!"

The man let out a low growl, instantly feeling his vitality increase by another level.

"Damn it, if it weren't for his two attacks, I wouldn't be in this state now, needing to start from solidifying my foundation."

Recalling Chen Tianming's face, Guan Yue felt a surge of resentment.

His hands were clenched tightly into fists at this moment.

But fortunately, the spiritual energy here was abundant.

This cave also contained many spiritual stones that could provide him with spiritual energy.

Guan Yue felt that the energy he had lost before had now re-converged, even more stable than before.

His gaze quickly fell upon the book of Tianyuan Divine Art not far away.

This was the Tianyuan Clan's ultimate technique left by his ancestors.

If he mastered the ancestral ultimate technique, his abilities would greatly improve.

However, when he was in Tianyuan before, he had tried countless times without success.

"This time, no matter what, I must succeed!"
