Ye Wushuang met the woman’s gaze and smiled, saying, “In the Tianxuan Continent, Yu Liuli, the master of the Liuli Cave Heaven, is a powerful figure in the Star-Picking and Essence-Transforming Realm. Who wouldn’t know her?”
“There is only one person who can receive the baptism of the Seven-Color Washing Heavenly Pool. Next, I will give you two a choice!”
A choice?
Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu exchanged a glance and didn’t say much.
The woman continued, “Next, you two will continue to fight. The final winner will be able to receive the baptism of the Seven-Color Washing Heavenly Pool.”
“Or… if someone is willing to withdraw, this battle can be avoided!”
“I withdraw!”
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Qing Shiyu said directly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang looked at Qing Shiyu and smiled, “What? Are you being polite with me?”
“You are originally of the Pure Yuan Spiritual Body. Now that you have been promoted to the King Body, you still have a great deal of potential in the future. Even so, your promotion is not much faster than mine. The effect of the Seven-Color Washing Heavenly Pool will be of the greatest benefit to you.”
Qing Shiyu said, “You are under more pressure than me. It should be yours.”
The two of them started to argue with each other.
The woman beside them just watched quietly and didn’t interrupt.
Gradually, the woman let out a chuckle.
Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu looked over with a puzzled expression.
The woman smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just saw you two giving way to each other, which reminded me of an old acquaintance…”
The woman continued, “Well, I’ll tell you two that whether the Seven-Color Washing Heavenly Pool can accommodate the two of you for cultivation depends on me.”
“Now, I allow you two to cultivate here together. However… since I’m making a concession, you also need to pay more.”
Pay more?
“Please, Senior, be straightforward!” Qing Shiyu bowed and said.
The woman smiled and said, “This is like giving you an extra path. Whether you can walk on it and whether you want to walk on it depends on you. Let’s talk about it after receiving the baptism!”
“How about it? Do you choose to receive the baptism together and take an extra path, or do you choose to have only one person receive the baptism?”
Upon hearing this, Qing Shiyu turned to look at Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but smile and said, “Are you afraid?”
“With you, what is there to be afraid of?”
“Since that’s the case, let’s receive the baptism together and see what else this Senior wants to test us with.”
“Okay.”
Seeing their choice, the woman smiled and said, “In that case, you can cultivate here in the Seven-Color Washing Heavenly Pool. I will come to find you in fifteen days.”
Ye Wushuang immediately said, “What about those people at the foot of the mountain…”
“The path of leaving Li Mountain is considered over. They can leave safely.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief.
“However, this place probably won’t last long. At most, in a month, the exit will appear, and it will be sealed after a short existence.”
The woman continued, “They may still be able to gain something in the last moment. My Liuli Cave Heaven has a unique charm.”
As she spoke, the woman waved her hand and disappeared.
And then, around Li Mountain, the world changed.
The forest that originally spread for dozens of li, when looked at now, actually continued to spread outward.
But the majestic mountains around disappeared one by one.
All of this seemed quite miraculous.
The world seemed to have changed to a different area.
As the forest continued to spread, the Li Mountain, which was three hundred zhang high, disappeared from everyone’s sight like ripples on the water.
The people at the foot of the mountain were stunned.
“It’s gone?”
“Where did it go?”
“I don’t know…”
Although they were confused, many people left after waiting for two or three days.
Half a month passed in a flash. Except for the disciples of Spirit Sword Mountain like Qin Muyu, Li Wenqing, and Li Wenbo, who were still waiting here, the others had all chosen to leave.
At the same time.
In Li Mountain.
In an unknown location, around Li Mountain, it was a vast expanse, and the world was chaotic. Only Li Mountain itself was like a lotus flower in this chaotic world, pure and untainted.
At the peak of the mountain.
In an immortal pool emitting a seven-colored luster.
Two figures were sitting in the air a zhang above the pool. It seemed that all the hairs on their bodies were opened. With each breath, the seven-colored luster turned into streamlines and circulated inside and outside their bodies.
These two were naturally Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu.
In the past half month, the two of them had received the baptism and nourished themselves on the Seven-Color Washing Heavenly Pool every day.
The Seven-Color Washing Heavenly Pool was so miraculous that it was of great benefit not only to martial artists at the Returning-to-Origin Realm but also to those at the Void Realm and the Cave Void Realm.
In the fifteen days, while receiving the baptism, Ye Wushuang not only recovered his injuries but also took a step further, advancing from the Fourth Level of the Returning-to-Origin Realm to the Fifth Level.
Qing Shiyu was originally at the Fifth Level of the Returning-to-Origin Realm. In the past half month, she broke through to the Sixth Level and reached the Seventh Level!
This realm was directly comparable to Xu Cangyan and Qi Wentian before.
The world around was chaotic, but the peak of Li Mountain was like a holy mountain, shining brightly.
Slowly.
Ye Wushuang slowly opened his eyes.
He clenched his fists slightly, and the aura in his body gushed out.
The Fifth Level of the Returning-to-Origin Realm.
This feeling was completely different.
“Congratulations.”
Beside him, Qing Shiyu smiled charmingly.
“It should be me congratulating you, right?”
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “You have crossed two levels and reached the Seventh Level.”
“Even though I’ve reached the Seventh Level, I may not be your match.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang shook his head.
Qing Shiyu had a Pure Yuan Constitution. Now that her spiritual body had reached the King Body, she would become more and more terrifying when she achieved the Saint Body in the future.
“Moreover, your battle with Xu Cangyan was far more terrifying than my battle with Qi Wentian. If it weren’t for your more serious injuries, you might have reached the Sixth Level.” Qing Shiyu continued, “But looking at your current vital energy and blood, you are probably not far from the Sixth Level!”
Ye Wushuang nodded.
“In the path of martial arts, what we pursue is not the speed of promotion but the essential change of promotion. Each realm has its own unique standard. If you can’t stabilize at a certain realm, it will definitely make subsequent promotion more difficult, and you may even be stuck at a certain realm and unable to move forward.”
“Take Xu Ziyin, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, for example. He was already at the Star-Picking and Essence-Transforming Realm in the past, but he still hasn’t broken through to the Saint-Entering Heaven Realm. This is caused by the defects in his cultivation!”
