Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C219 Ye Shan's Good News(part Ii)
No matter who had enough luck, they would grow to a certain level. After all, luck was a part of one’s strength in the cultivation world. Some of them didn’t die early, no matter how high their talent was. On the contrary, some of them had extremely low talent, but their luck was beyond ordinary. In the end, they became hegemons. This was a fact that she had witnessed with her own eyes in her previous life.
“Mm …” “Actually, this old man wants to remind you that this secret plane has quite a few treasures.” The artifact spirit circled around for a long time before finally getting to the point.
Zi Ling chuckled inwardly. At the same time, she roughly understood that the treasure in the artifact spirit’s mouth was not some spirit treasure, but something that could help it recover the Chaotic Bead’s strength.
From their short conversation, Zi Ling could see that this artifact spirit had a very high opinion of itself. Naturally, it would not admit that other spirit treasures were not bad. However, Zi Ling didn’t care. After all, the Chaotic Pearl was currently hers. Even if it didn’t have any other Soul Treasures, just this one was enough to rule the world.
“Do you know where it is?” Zi Ling asked.
“I don’t know. I’m still very weak right now.” “However, I have to remind you that your current cultivation level is not high enough. You haven’t stabilized your golden core yet, so it’s best for you to go into seclusion. When you reach the peak of the early stage of the Aurous Core stage, you will have some confidence.”
“Upgraded to peak Jindan Stage?” Zi Ling was startled. This was an illusory realm, unlike the Qi Cultivation stage, where a few months of closed door cultivation could result in significant improvements. Even a few years of closed door cultivation might not be enough to break through a small realm.
This illusion had a limited time to open. If she closed herself off for a few years and waited for him to come out, she might be trapped inside for dozens of years. When the illusion for hundreds of years reopened, even the yellow flowers would turn cold.
The artifact spirit seemed to understand her thoughts, “I can help you, but I’ll be sleeping for a period of time later. You have to find me enough heavenly materials.”
“Alright!” Facing the temptation of raising her cultivation, how could Zi Ling not agree?
“I’ve told you before, the Primal Chaos Pearl has the function of stagnating time, I am unable to stagnate time on the outside, but I can stagnate time on the inside.”
“Hmm?” Zi Ling raised her brows, puzzled.
“There’s a space inside the Primal Chaos Pearl. I can let you in for a year inside and a day outside.”
The artifact spirit’s words made Zi Ling look as if she had seen a great treasure. Her eyes instantly became ablaze.
Seeing this, the artifact spirit suddenly said, “Don’t think that you’ll be like this often in the future. I’m telling you that everything has Karma and Laws, and after I help you today, I’m afraid I won’t be able to use this technique for dozens of years. In the future, you’ll have to rely on yourself to figure out the laws of time within the Chaotic Pearl.”
Zi Ling hurriedly nodded her head. Although it was a pity, it was a wasted time after all. It was enough for her to be overjoyed.
“Good, remember, with my current ability, I can only let you stay inside for 5 years. If you exceed the limit of time, before you come out, the dimension I built will be shattered and you will dissipate into the chaotic space of the Pearl of Primal Chaos.”
Zi Ling’s expression became serious as she hurriedly nodded her head.
“Alright, let’s begin immediately.” As the artifact spirit’s voice fell, Zi Ling’s figure vanished into thin air.
Very quickly, she appeared in a pitch-black area around them.
The darkness in this place was so dense that even starlight couldn’t penetrate through it. Even with the purple silk, it was impossible to see a single bit of it. She groped her way forward and was suddenly stopped by something.
She reached out her hand to touch it, only to discover that it was actually a soft touch. She fumbled to the side again and took a few more steps, but was also stopped by the soft touch.
In the chaos, the artifact spirit’s voice rang out, “With my current abilities, I can only open up this small piece of space and time. You can make do with it, I …” “He’s asleep.”
“Hey …” Zi Ling’s voice didn’t get a response. She knew that the artifact spirit had really fallen asleep.
She did not waste time and quickly sat down cross-legged. Although this place was too narrow and dark, Zi Ling’s mind was extraordinary and she did not feel pressured. She quickly entered a state of cultivation.
With the Origin Stones on her body, she took out the few high grade spirit stones that she had obtained from Qi Hao and started to cultivate. After sucking up a piece, he threw it into his storage pouch for Origin Stones to replenish.
A year passed quickly. During this year, Zi Ling did not change her posture, nor did she open her eyes. Her hundred years of cultivation experience in her past life had long made her accustomed to the harsh and lonely life of cultivation, so a year’s time was nothing more than a flick of a finger to her.
On this day, she finally opened her eyes and felt the surging power within her body become extremely strong. In the world of cultivation, forming an Aurous Core was an extremely important sign. It meant that one already possessed the qualifications to step into the Great Dao. Therefore, many people would go into seclusion for a few years after forming their Aurous Core, and most would stay in seclusion for more than ten years to stabilize their Aurous Core stage.
However, Zi Ling had roamed everywhere, and she had never been able to stabilize herself by relying on the elixir spirit stones. Now, with the help of the Chaotic Bead, she discovered that her cultivation, which had taken several years to stabilize, was actually able to stabilize so easily.
It seemed that the spirit stones and pills that didn’t require money had played an important role.
In her previous life, even if her master was Zi Xiao, he wouldn’t be able to use high-grade spirit stones to cultivate all the time. Moreover, her alchemy skills grew along with her cultivation, so it was impossible for her to walk in front of cultivation.
Thus, a year’s time was sufficient to stabilize her body. Now that her body was filled with power, she was confident that she could face Lei Yu without the help of the Pearl of Primal Chaos.
She sat in the void beside him and turned her head to look around. There was still that strange dead silence and darkness. How is the situation outside now?
A year had passed here and a day had passed outside. Although a day wasn’t long, many things were constantly being discovered within the secret realm.
In the end, she restrained her emotions and started to absorb spiritual energy from the spirit stones.
In the blink of an eye, four years passed. Zi Ling’s cultivation had already climbed from the early Golden Core Stage to the peak of the early Golden Core Stage. In her previous life, she had used more than ten years to reach this stage. She hadn’t thought that it would only take four years.
She was unable to contain her joy. Her eyes were bright and dazzling. The only regret she had was that she did not manage to break through the early phase of the Aurous Core Stage and enter the middle phase of the Aurous Core Stage.
She didn’t know why, but she had already reached her peak half a year ago and was now extremely saturated. However, she still hadn’t loosened up, preventing her from entering the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage.
However, time was up. Even though she had tried the wondrous taste of cultivation here, she didn’t dare to stay. The artifact spirit’s words still echoed in her ears. She didn’t want to perish in the chaos region before she had mastered the Grand Dao.
After a thought, a white light flashed in front of her eyes, and Zi Ling furrowed her brows, extremely unaccustomed to it. It took him a long time to adjust from a completely dark state to the sunlight shining in front of his eyes.
She took a deep breath. It had only been five days outside, but her heart had been still for five years.
The emotions that had once been disordered had become as tranquil as water in the past five years. She put away the Primal Chaos Pearl in her hand and walked step by step out of the secluded area.
This was the most secluded area of the secret realm. If it weren’t for the fact that the ghost forest was destroyed by the purple silk, only a few people would have appeared here. But now there were at least a hundred people in this area.
At this time, these hundred people were gathered at a place called ‘Heaven Stairway’.
Although there were close to a hundred people standing together, in reality, there were many powers and there were only a few people from each power. They all stood around the Heaven Stairway.
A middle-aged man wearing a white robe walked to the side of the Heaven Stairway, frowned and paced back and forth. All of a sudden, a young man in his twenties squeezed out from the side. He was a young Xuan Master, and had extraordinary talent. He pushed the middle-aged man to the side, and said with a contemptuous look in his eyes, “You can reach the sky even if you walk ten steps?”
Those who came were not small fries, and upon seeing the name of the ten steps, they looked around, not in a hurry to go up.
Even though he was the first person to eat a crab, he did not underestimate the other party. He sent his profound strength to his legs, and with a fierce stomp, he easily arrived at the first step.
The young man was not in a hurry to step, he waited for a moment and did not discover anything. He suddenly laughed out loud: “What Heaven Stairway, it’s just to scare people.” As he spoke, he easily stepped onto the second step.
When the rest of the people saw that the young man was able to easily climb two steps, they couldn’t help but move one after the other. After all, they had all come here for the sake of finding a treasure.
Very quickly, a row of people stood densely on the first step of the Sky Stairway.
Without exception, they were nervous at first, then suddenly relaxed. One by one, they began to climb the second flight of stairs.
At this time, there were only a few people left at the bottom of the Heaven Stairway.
Currently, only Zhao Ting, Chu Feng, Huang Ying, and Gu Yuan had arrived at the Mysterious God Sect. Even the gold had not appeared yet. The four of them didn’t move, they just stood there.
Other than them, there were the Zhao siblings, the two martial brothers, as well as Ye Shan, Lei Yu, and a few others.
Ye Shan’s gaze swept across the remaining people. She had long since given up on Lei Yu after Lei Yu caught up with him. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were like water as she stared at Chu Feng. “Big Brother Chu, aren’t you going up to take a look?”
Chu Feng’s expression did not change and his eyes were covered with layers of ice, “No need.”
Hearing Chu Feng’s rejection, Ye Shan’s expression did not change. She only smiled and said, “Then, little sister will go first.” As they were speaking, they led the group of people from the Phoenix Mountain up the Sky Stairway.
Lei Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest, ignoring Chu Feng’s ice-cold gaze. He stared at Ye Shan’s back and curled his lips, not going to fight with the others over it.
Very soon, the Xuanwu martial artists who had originally easily stepped onto the second step all revealed painful expressions as they attempted to step onto the third step.
However, the pain was short-lived. None of the dozens of people stopped at the second level. They all stepped onto the third level. However, from the third level onwards, everyone’s actions were uneven. The youth who was the first to step up was already standing at the fifth step. His head was dripping with sweat, his eyes were red, and his expression was twisted.
