Chapter 479: Situ Muyang’s Breakthrough!
Situ Muyang sat cross-legged, surrounded by surging energy, his aura continuously rising.
This commotion soon alerted Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and the others, who were immersed in their breathing exercises. They withdrew their hand seals, restrained their breaths, and opened their eyes.
“Boss Su Yi!”
Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and the others were overjoyed to see Su Yi. Without hesitation, they rushed up to greet him.
Xu Jiahui’s eyes flickered with a soft light. Her face glowed with a clear radiance, her skin as flawless as snow. Her slender figure, with its graceful curves, radiated a unique charm. Her eyes were captivating, and her overall temperament had transformed, becoming even more ethereal and alluring.
Su Yi observed the group approaching him, his gaze sweeping over each of them. A faint smile appeared on his lips. The Mysterious Space had worked wonders for everyone. Although only a few days had passed, the influence of this space had enabled each of them to break through to a higher level. Even more impressive was the intangible transformation they had undergone—subtle yet significant.
“Boss Su Yi, this is…”
Zhang Qing and Liu Ji, brimming with excitement, began to speak.
“We’ll talk later. Someone is in the midst of a breakthrough.”
Su Yi interrupted them, his eyes fixed on Situ Muyang once more.
Liu Ji and the others followed his gaze.
“Boom!”
The air trembled as energy fluctuations rippled through the space. A vast and formidable aura surged from Situ Muyang’s body, shaking the heavens and earth.
The phenomenon didn’t last long. Moments later, the aura surrounding Situ Muyang soared to an even higher level, marking his ascension to the fourth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm.
Gradually, the energy subsided, the radiance enveloping him faded, and the space returned to calm.
“Swoosh…”
Situ Muyang opened his eyes. His clear gaze was as pure and untainted as if it harbored no worldly distractions. The brilliance in his eyes flickered momentarily before receding. Slowly, he stood up.
The young man, only thirteen or fourteen years old, was even younger than Xu Jiahui. Though his well-fitted black robe was now tattered, it failed to conceal his graceful bearing. His sword-shaped eyebrows, phoenix-like eyes, straight nose, and thin lips made him strikingly handsome.
Watching this youth, Su Yi couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy. At this age, he himself had been fighting for survival in the Forest of Demons, enduring inhuman struggles and countless brushes with death. Yet here was Situ Muyang, already at the fourth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm. On this vast continent, he was undoubtedly among the pinnacle talents of his generation.
Su Yi’s envy was fleeting, overshadowed by his understanding of the circumstances. The support of a powerful sect like the Divine Sword School made an undeniable difference.
However, Su Yi was acutely aware that Situ Muyang was no ordinary second-generation disciple. At such a young age, the sect leader, Situ Liuyun, had sent him to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords to train alongside inner and outer disciples. This brutal environment, rife with danger, provided no preferential treatment and often resulted in fatal outcomes. Situ Muyang’s achievements were not solely due to the Divine Sword School’s backing but also his innate talent and resilience.
Situ Muyang glanced at Su Yi, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others before walking over to Su Yi. Fixing his gaze on him, he spoke in a serious tone. Despite his youthful face, his expression carried a maturity that belied his age.
“What you gave me… it’s a treasure, an invaluable treasure!”
Situ Muyang’s voice was steady, yet there was a hint of emotion underlying his words. At this moment, he was acutely aware of the benefits he had received. His breakthrough from the second level to the fourth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm was, surprisingly, the least significant part of the rewards. The true gift lay in the Spiritual Essence’s ability to cleanse his soul and purify his bone marrow, removing impurities and tempering his foundation.
“You saved me,” he added, his voice firm yet filled with gratitude.
With a faint smile, Su Yi reflected on how Situ Muyang had risked his life to save him. Though the Spiritual Essence was incredibly precious, giving it to Situ Muyang felt worth it. Su Yi was genuinely happy for him, seeing that he had managed to break through two grades consecutively.
Naturally, the amount of Spiritual Essence Su Yi gave to Situ Muyang differed from what he had given Xu Jiahui and the others. Situ Muyang’s cultivation level was far higher than that of Zhang Qing and the others, and he deserved to receive more.
“Didn’t we form an alliance?” Situ Muyang remarked with a bitter smile, thinking the benefits he had gained were well worth his earlier intervention to shield Su Yi. In any case, even if he hadn’t stepped in, knowing the mysteries surrounding Su Yi, things might not have ended poorly for him.
Situ Muyang’s gaze swept over Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others. He could sense that they, too, had made significant breakthroughs. Everything about this space was shrouded in mystery, prompting him to ask, “Where are we? What is this place?”
Hearing his question, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and the others immediately turned to Su Yi, as they had been wondering the same thing.
Su Yi looked at them all and suddenly became serious. His tone carried an unshakable resolve as he said, “Out of necessity, I brought you all here. This is a treasure I possess—a space filled with mysteries. But you must understand, this place is incredibly important to me!”
Everyone stared at Su Yi, sensing his sincerity and the weight of his words. His serious demeanor exuded a quiet authority that made them tremble inexplicably.
“I know what you’re all thinking,” Su Yi continued. “If it weren’t for this place, we might not have survived. Everyone has their secrets. I trust you all, but I must emphasize how critical this place is to me.”
Situ Muyang stepped forward, his expression serious yet calm. “Situ Muyang swears never to reveal this treasure of yours to anyone. However, I have one condition.”
Su Yi studied him, noting the mix of maturity and boyish charm in Situ Muyang’s demeanor. Despite his youthful appearance, his occasional sharp glances carried a gravity that demanded respect.
“What’s your condition?” Su Yi asked.
“Give me back my space bag. I need to change my clothes,” Situ Muyang replied, casting Su Yi a disdainful look.
“Hehe.” Su Yi chuckled, producing a space bag from his hand and handing it over to Situ Muyang.
“Boss Su Yi, don’t worry! I, Zhang Qing, swear that if I ever mention this to anyone else, may I be struck by lightning,” Zhang Qing vowed solemnly. He understood that without Su Yi, he wouldn’t have the opportunities and fortunes he now possessed.
Liu Ji, Wang Fan, and Qing Chao quickly followed suit, swearing that they owed everything to Su Yi and would never betray him.
“Brother Su Yi, I…” Xu Jiahui hesitated briefly before raising her delicate hand and swearing the same oath.
“Alright, I trust you all,” Su Yi said, gently patting Xu Jiahui’s pitch-black hair with a faint smile. If he hadn’t trusted them, he wouldn’t have brought them to this sacred space. However, Su Yi knew that trust could be fragile. For now, he could only rely on his instincts and hope he hadn’t misjudged them.
“Stop making so much noise; you’re disturbing my meditation.”
The sudden voice startled everyone. From a cluster of spiritual herbs, surrounded by a rosy mist, a figure emerged.
It was none other than the Blood Spiritual Ginseng, which had been cultivating while hidden beneath the ground. Now, it revealed itself, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
“Is this… the Demonic Void Realm…?”
Zhang Qing and Xu Jiahui gasped, staring at the ginseng in shock. They didn’t fully understand what it was, but its extraordinary presence was undeniable. The fact that it could even speak like a human suggested it was no ordinary treasure.
“Blood Spiritual Ginseng from the Demonic Void Realm!”
Situ Muyang’s eyes widened in disbelief, his heart trembling. To think that this was the legendary Blood Spiritual Ginseng—a treasure beyond imagination. And yet, Su Yi had it.
