Chapter 103 Going to Find My Senior Brother

On the other side.

Lin Qianxue stood on a cliff, facing the biting mountain wind, practicing her sword techniques over and over again.

The sword embryo in her hand transformed into a streak of flowing light, sometimes sharp as lightning, sometimes gentle as water, sometimes violent as thunder, and sometimes ethereal as smoke.

With every thrust of the sword, a sharp Sword Intent was carried forth, shaving off flakes of rock from the cliff.

For three days, she practiced her sword without stopping for a single moment.

When she was tired, she took a Medicinal Pill. When she was drowsy, she used Sword Intent to stimulate herself.

Her aura was also constantly rising.

Foundation Establishment Ninth Heaven Great Perfection...

Half-step Golden Core...

She was only a thin barrier away from the true Golden Core.

She opened her eyes and looked at the sword embryo in her hand, a flash of determination in her eyes.

Three months later, she must Breakthrough to the Golden Core.

She had to become Senior Brother's capable assistant!

...

Inside the Cold Jade Palace.

Yun Yuzhen sat on the cold jade couch, looking at the jade bottle in her hand, hesitating for a long time.

Finally, she still opened the jade bottle and poured out a supreme yin ultimate bliss pill.

The pill was deep blue throughout, emitting a faint fragrance.

She bit her lip and put the pill into her mouth.

The pill melted upon entry, turning into a warm current that flooded into her limbs and bones.

She felt her Taiyin Body being wrapped and nourished by a gentle force. Her Origin, which had been damaged by the erosion of Cold Poison, was also slowly recovering.

"This pill... is actually effective..."

She murmured to herself, but her face grew redder and redder.

Because after taking this pill, she couldn't help but think of Su Ye's smirking face and those scenes that made one's heart race and face flush.

"Rebellious Disciple..."

She cursed softly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tilt upward slightly.

...

Time passed day by day.

On Purple Bamboo Peak, everyone was working hard to Cultivate for the Grand Competition in three months.

Su Ye was in secluded meditation in the secret room, his aura growing stronger by the day.

Lin Waner was cultivating in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, getting along with the Spirit Beasts, and the power of her Primal Water Body was growing stronger and stronger.

Lin Qianxue was practicing her sword on the cliff, her Sword Intent becoming sharper each day, only a hair's breadth away from the Golden Core.

Yun Yuzhen sat in meditation in the Cold Jade Palace, refining the medicinal power of the supreme yin ultimate bliss pill, and the Origin of her Taiyin Body was gradually recovering.

Three months' time was neither long nor short.

But for the people of Purple Bamboo Peak, these three months were a period of rebirth.

...

Two and a half months later.

In the secret room.

Su Ye opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them.

His aura had already reached Nascent Soul Ninth Heaven Great Perfection!

He was only one step away from the Soul Transformation Stage!

But this step was also the most difficult one.

He tried to Breakthrough several times, but all failed.

From Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation, it was not just the accumulation of spiritual energy, but more importantly, the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao Laws. If one could not comprehend their own Dao, no matter how much spiritual energy they had, they could not Breakthrough.

Su Ye pondered for a moment and decided to pause his cultivation.

He needed to go out for a walk to find the opportunity for a Breakthrough.

Pushing open the door of the secret room, the piercing sunlight made him squint.

Having not seen sunlight for two and a half months, he was indeed a bit unaccustomed.

He took a deep breath, and his Divine Sense enveloped the entire Purple Bamboo Peak.

Lin Waner was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, playing with the Golden-Haired Lion. Her aura had already reached Golden Core Sixth Heaven! She had improved by two whole minor Realms compared to before her seclusion!

Lin Qianxue was practicing her sword on the cliff. Her aura was already at Golden Core First Heaven! She had broken through!

Yun Yuzhen was meditating in the Cold Jade Palace. Her aura was also much stronger than it was two months ago. The Origin of her Taiyin Body had recovered by seventy percent!

A smile curled at the corner of Su Ye's mouth.

Everyone was making progress.

His figure flashed, turning into a streak of light as he flew toward the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

...

In the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Lin Waner was riding on the back of the Golden-Haired Lion, galloping across the grass. Suddenly, she sensed something and looked up at the sky.

A familiar figure descended from the heavens.

"Senior Brother!"

Lin Waner's eyes lit up, and she jumped directly off the lion's back, sprinting toward Su Ye.

"Senior Brother! You've finished your seclusion!"

She threw herself into Su Ye's arms, hugging him tightly.

"I missed you so much!"

Su Ye smiled and rubbed her head.

"I missed you too."

Lin Waner looked up at him, her eyes slightly red.

"Senior Brother, you've gotten thinner."

"How so?"

Su Ye laughed, "It was just seclusion, I didn't starve."

"You just are!"

Lin Waner said stubbornly, "In a bit, I'll make you something delicious to nourish you!"

"Alright."

Su Ye nodded and looked toward the cliff not far away.

A cold and elegant figure was flying down from the cliff.

Lin Qianxue landed in front of Su Ye, looking at him, a flicker of emotion in her eyes.

"Senior Brother."

Her voice was still cold, but it was much softer than usual.

Su Ye looked at her and nodded with satisfaction.

"Golden Core? Not bad."

Lin Qianxue lowered her head, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly.

Su Ye looked at the Spirit Beasts in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts again.

After two and a half months, these Spirit Beasts had also undergone significant changes.

The Golden-Haired Lion's aura was stronger, with faint signs of breaking through to the sixth rank.

The Demon Flame Wolf's size had increased by a circle, and the demonic flames on its body were even denser.

The Thunder Eagle's feathers were more vibrant, and when its wings spread, they were a full three zhang long.

The Red Flame Fox's fur was even more fiery red, and its tail had split into three, clearly having advanced.

The Vajra Ape's size had grown, its muscles knotted and full of power.

On the Mystic Water Turtle's shell, there were now many golden patterns, also clearly indicating an advancement.

"It seems you all have been doing well."

Su Ye nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Waner raised her small face proudly.

"Of course! I've been taking good care of them every day!"

Su Ye smiled.

"Thank you for your hard work."

He paused and asked:

"Where is Revered Master?"

"In the Cold Jade Palace."

Lin Waner replied, "Revered Master has been cultivating lately and rarely comes out."

Su Ye nodded.

"I'll go see her."

...

Inside the Cold Jade Palace.

Yun Yuzhen was meditating on her couch when she suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

She opened her eyes and saw Su Ye pushing the door open and entering.

"Revered Master."

Su Ye walked up to her and looked at her.

After not seeing her for two and a half months, Yun Yuzhen seemed even more beautiful.

Her skin was fairer and more delicate, her aura more restrained. The Origin of her Taiyin Body had recovered by more than half, and her entire being exuded a cold and noble temperament.

Yun Yuzhen looked at him, a flicker of emotion in her eyes.

"Finished your seclusion?"

"Yes."

Su Ye sat down beside her and reached out to wrap his arm around her waist.

"Did you miss me?"

Yun Yuzhen's face reddened, and she turned her head away.

"Who missed you!"

"Really didn't miss me?"

Su Ye leaned in close to her and gently blew air into her ear.

Yun Yuzhen's body trembled, and she bit her lip without speaking.

Su Ye smiled.

He gently kissed her cheek.

"I missed you."

Yun Yuzhen's body stiffened, then she slowly relaxed.

She turned her head and looked at him, her eyes carrying a trace of resentment.

"You didn't come to see me for two and a half months..."

"I was in seclusion."

Su Ye held her tightly, "I wanted to come see you too, but I was afraid of being distracted."

Yun Yuzhen snorted but did not struggle.

The two of them just quietly leaned against each other, neither of them speaking.

After a long time.

Yun Yuzhen spoke.

"Did you Breakthrough?"

"Stuck at Nascent Soul Great Perfection."

Su Ye shook his head, "Still one step away."

Yun Yuzhen looked at him and said seriously.

"From Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation, you need to comprehend your own Dao. Have you found your Dao?"

Su Ye was silent for a moment.

"I'm still searching."

Yun Yuzhen nodded.

"No rush. There's still half a month, take your time."

"Mm."

Su Ye looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"Revered Master, would you accompany me for a walk?"

Yun Yuzhen was taken aback.

"To where?"

"Just a walk."

Su Ye took her hand, "I want to see this world together with you."

Yun Yuzhen looked at him and nodded.

"Alright."

...

The two of them walked hand in hand on Purple Bamboo Peak.

The sun was setting, dyeing the entire mountain peak in a warm orange-red.

The mountain wind blew past, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.

Yun Yuzhen leaned on Su Ye's shoulder, a faint blush on her face.

"Yeer."

"Hmm?"

"Tell me, what do you think our Dao will be?"

Su Ye was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I don't know."

"But I know that no matter what my Dao is, you will definitely be in it."

Yun Yuzhen's body trembled, and she looked up at him.

Under the sunset, his face was as handsome as a painting, and her shadow was reflected in his eyes.

She smiled.

She smiled tenderly, smiled brilliantly.

"Me too."

She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his lips.

Under the sunset, the figures of the two merged into one.

...

Half a month later.

Taichu Holy Land, the day of the Grand Competition.

The entire Holy Land was boiling with excitement.
