Unlike the baptism of the Dragon-Transforming Pool, the power contained within the Source Pearl was exceedingly gentle.
If the baptism of the Dragon-Transforming Pool was like a surging river rushing into one’s body, requiring Ye Wushuang to absorb it on her own, then the power within the Source Pearl was like moonlight, like sunlight, gently and comfortably merging into her body. It was subtle, dense, and did not require Ye Wushuang to integrate it herself. The power could seep into her internal organs and meridians on its own. This was an entirely different experience!
In an instant, within Ye Wushuang’s body, a torrent of spiritual energy began to surge and grow at a remarkably stable yet rapid pace. This sensation brought her immense comfort and relief.
In the world of cultivation, heavenly treasures and earthly wonders were indispensable. Yet, even the most precious elixirs could not compare to the Source Pearl condensed by a Sage. Somewhere within her body, a joint seemed to unlock with a faint click.
The third stage of the Delusion Realm was achieved effortlessly!
However, this was not the end…
At the same time, deep within the Sage’s Tomb, in a dark abyss as hellish as the underworld, everything was shrouded in blackness, making it impossible to discern any presence. Amidst the extreme darkness, a sliver of white appeared—upon closer inspection, it was a human tooth.
A faint murmur slowly rose, as if from the depths of despair: “Someone…” The voice, barely a whisper, was tinged with longing and bitterness: “Trapped for eight thousand years, is there really someone… who has encountered me…”
“Someone who can see through my chaotic destruction, yet is merely at the Delusion Realm… and remains unfazed upon knowing I am a Sage… accepting my Source Pearl, with a continuous flow of spiritual energy stronger than that of a typical Delusion Realm genius…”
“Ye Wushuang…”
The faint voice gradually dissipated into the dark abyss.
Inside the wooden cabin, Ye Wushuang slowly opened her eyes. The white-haired old man and the children had all vanished. It seemed as if everything had been a dream. But the fact that she had reached the fourth stage of the Delusion Realm and the presence of the three-legged cauldron in front of her made it clear that this was no dream.
“Sage Zhou Yuan…” Ye Wushuang murmured, “If you have not deceived me, I will do my utmost to rescue you. But if you have tricked me, then…”
Slowly, Ye Wushuang stood up. She had been on the verge of reaching the third stage of the Delusion Realm through the Dragon-Transforming Pool. Now, with the power of the Source Pearl, she had not only broken through the barrier of the third stage but had also advanced further to the fourth stage. This feeling was truly extraordinary.
In just a few days, she had progressed from the first stage of the Delusion Realm to the fourth stage, a significant leap. However, such rapid improvement posed no drawbacks for Ye Wushuang. The Delusion Realm was a process of intensifying one’s spiritual energy. As long as her physical meridians could withstand it, there was no major issue.
Leaving the wooden cabin and retracing her steps, Ye Wushuang reappeared in the relief-filled chamber.
“Master!” Tian Linzi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Wushuang’s safe return.
“How long was I in there?”
“Half a day, I suppose,” Tian Linzi replied, still in a state of shock. “I was so worried! Wait, what? You’ve reached the fourth stage of the Delusion Realm?”
Ye Wushuang nodded.
Tian Linzi said nothing more. It was evident that Ye Wushuang had gained something immensely beneficial.
“This is the chaotic destruction left by a Sage. In reality, it is the Sage’s power that has altered the spiritual energy rules of this place, capable of psychologically guiding and destroying anyone below the Sage realm.”
Ye Wushuang looked at the reliefs around her and said, “Didn’t you say someone was spying on us?”
“Yes,” Tian Linzi confirmed. “While you were gone for half a day, Yu Yourong came and discovered that someone was indeed lurking around.”
“Good,” Ye Wushuang said coldly, looking at the reliefs. “No matter who it is, let them come and never return.”
Then, Ye Wushuang sat cross-legged on the ground, with spiritual patterns swirling around her and spreading onto the surrounding reliefs.
After about an hour, the two of them left the place and headed towards the Dragon-Transforming Pool.
In the following days, Ye Wushuang did not rely on the Dragon-Transforming Pool for cultivation anymore. The Source Pearl had helped her cross the third stage and reach the fourth stage, but its power had not been fully absorbed yet. One was a gentle force, and the other was a domineering one. She could not continue to absorb the power of the Dragon-Transforming Pool.
Therefore, while Yu Yourong and Tian Linzi cultivated by the Dragon-Transforming Pool, Ye Wushuang sat at the entrance, keeping watch for any unexpected changes.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
During these three days, Yu Yourong and the others had been cultivating by the Dragon-Transforming Pool. Yu Yourong had just reached the middle stage of the Star-Plucking Realm and could not advance quickly. However, Tian Linzi’s strength had greatly increased, and he had successfully reached the middle stage of the Star-Plucking Realm as well.
At the same time, Mu Xu had reached the sixth stage of the Delusion Realm, and Mu Qinghe had reached the fifth stage. The two followers of Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe, who were originally at the sixth stage, had both advanced to the seventh stage. Li Xuan, who was already at the seventh stage, had not been promoted.
The transition from the Delusion Realm to the Star-Plucking Realm was not that simple.
But no matter what, all of them had made significant progress.
Inside the pit, Mu Xu looked at Ye Wushuang and bowed, saying, “Thank you, Master Ye. Your great kindness will never be forgotten.”
Ye Wushuang patted Mu Xu on the shoulder and smiled, “This Dragon-Transforming Pool, we three could never have absorbed it all by ourselves. Giving it to you was just a small gesture, so don’t take it too seriously.”
Mu Xu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Then, Ye Wushuang looked at the five of them and said, “We might be being watched. We’re not sure who it is, but they seem to be waiting, probably for reinforcements to arrive.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Mu Xu and the others tightened.
