Chapter 545: Tension Builds

Soul Searching!

The best way to understand the situation was to conduct a Soul Search.

Li Xiaojun directly performed a Soul Search on an Integration stage cultivator from Earth.

From the memories of the Integration stage cultivator, Li Xiaojun finally learned about Yun Lan’s whereabouts.

Over one hundred fifty years ago, after Yun Lan and a group of people were sent out of the secret realm, they were immediately attacked by a group of individuals, including the Great Ascension stage He Miaomiao.

However, because Yun Lan had the Heavenly Immortal level immortal tool cloak rewarded by Li Xiaojun, she easily escaped Huayang Star and ventured into the starry sky.

At this moment, no one knew where Yun Lan was.

Later, as the beast tribe invaded, the humans on Huayang Star suffered significant casualties while trying to resist.

Fortunately, the beast tribe’s Great Ascension stage beast saint, as well as all the sacred artifacts over Great Ascension stage, and powerful talismans could not enter Huayang Star.

Additionally, with He Miaomiao, a Great Ascension stage cultivator, stationed on the planet, the beast tribe could not completely breach Huayang Star.

In terms of cultivation levels, the beast tribe was consistently stronger than the Human Race.

Moreover, there were numerous Integration stage mighty beasts in the beast tribe, and although He Miaomiao was at the Great Ascension stage, she had limited methods to defend against many Integration stage beasts attacking her at once.

So, after over a hundred years of war, the current situation was that half of the territory of Huayang Star had been occupied by the beast tribe.

In light of this outcome, those who had attacked Yun Lan earlier felt great regret.

Although Yun Lan had killed over two thousand trial participants, she was indeed strong against the beasts.

More than ten thousand beasts had died at Yun Lan’s hands.

If they hadn’t driven Yun Lan away, Huayang Star wouldn’t be in such a passive position against the beast tribe’s attacks.

Furthermore, the trial participants killed by Yun Lan were later proven not to be dead, but sent to live on Mars by the planners of the survival game.

Thus, after losing Yun Lan and with the beast tribe’s invasion, He Miaomiao and the others finally realized that they had lost a tremendous combat power.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaojun was not surprised.

He had anticipated that after Yun Lan and her group left the secret realm, they would likely face an attack from a group of people.

That was why he had prepared an immortal tool for Yun Lan’s protection.

He was unsure where Yun Lan had gone after leaving Huayang Star.

But this was not a challenge for Li Xiaojun, as he had taken measures with Yun Lan’s immortal tool.

He had placed a drop of his blood essence within the immortal tool, allowing him to sense its direction regardless of how far away it was.

After sensing the direction of the immortal tool,

Li Xiaojun quickly took off.

A few days later, Li Xiaojun found Yun Lan amidst the asteroids on the edge of a star system.

At that moment, Yun Lan was diligently cultivating, almost to the point of forgetting herself.

After over one hundred fifty years, Yun Lan’s cultivation had reached the great perfection of the Integration stage.

Of course, the reason Yun Lan improved so quickly was primarily due to the elixirs, spirit stones, and demon essence Li Xiaojun had provided.

Especially the demon essence, which in the Kunlun Realm is a valuable item that can increase one’s cultivation speed many times over.

Cultivating for one year equals cultivating for decades.

Combined with elixirs that enhance cultivation speed, the training can become even faster.

At this moment, with the use of elixirs and demon essence, Yun Lan’s cultivation speed reached over fifty times her usual speed.

This meant that cultivating for 150 years was equivalent to her usual training for over seven thousand years.

Moreover, since her spirit roots were only low-level spirit roots, even with seven thousand years of cultivation, she could only progress from the initial stage of Integration to great perfection in the Integration stage.

Li Xiaojun was very pleased with Yun Lan’s choice to find a safe place to enter seclusion for her cultivation.

"Forget it, your training is still too slow. I’ll give you a temporary spirit root."

Inside the asteroid,

Yun Lan was practicing when suddenly, everything went dark, and she lost consciousness.

When she awoke, she checked herself in confusion and found nothing seemed wrong.

So, she didn’t give it much thought afterward.

One week later, she suddenly discovered that her cultivation speed had astonishingly reached a thousand times her regular training speed.

Combined with the elixirs and Essence of Origin, her cultivation speed had reached a terrifying over two thousand times.

"What is happening?!"

Yun Lan was stunned.

Did this mean that cultivating for one year equaled two thousand years of her regular training?

Such an effect was truly incredible.

Faced with this situation, Yun Lan began to check the reason.

Soon, she realized that her rapid cultivation speed was entirely due to the small life growing inside her, which helped her refine spiritual energy into true essence.

Her cultivation speed reached over two thousand times entirely because of the small life in her belly.

Small life?

"Huh? What’s going on? How did I get a child?" Yun Lan reacted, her jaw dropping in shock.

A refined young woman like herself had somehow become pregnant without any tools.

In light of this, Yun Lan immediately recalled her sudden fainting a while back.

"Could it be that someone took advantage of me during that time?" Yun Lan frowned, feeling lost.

However, a few days later, she stopped dwelling on the matter of the child and who the father was.

Because compared to finding the person who took advantage of her or worrying about the child, what mattered more was cultivating, cultivating, and more cultivating.

Now, one day of cultivation for her equaled five or six years of regular training. With such great benefits, that child and the child’s father became insignificant.

A year later, Yun Lan found that she had broken through to the Great Ascension stage without encountering any bottlenecks.

Moreover, she had learned to suppress the birth of the child on her own.

Under normal circumstances, the child would be born within a year.

However, now, with Yun Lan suppressing it, it seemed the child would likely take many more years before being born.

One year later, with her terrifying cultivation speed, Yun Lan reached the early Tribulation stage without any bottlenecks.

Six years later, Yun Lan began to undergo her immortal tribulation and successfully passed it.

"Hey? Why didn’t I ascend?"

After overcoming the immortal tribulation, Yun Lan was greatly surprised.

Because her body had transformed into an immortal body, yet she had not ascended.

This situation indeed made her feel a bit tense.

"Could it be because of the child?"

Yun Lan thought about her pregnancy.

"Sigh! I really feel sorry for you, child. It’s time for you to be born."

A few months later, after consolidating her cultivation, Yun Lan gave birth to the child.

She realized that if she didn’t give birth soon, it would cause irreversible harm to the child.

However, what caused Yun Lan to smile wryly was that even after giving birth, she still did not feel the call of the Immortal Realm.

"Now that I’ve achieved an immortal body, it’s time to return and settle accounts with them."
