Chapter 537: Chapter 539 Gentle and Jade-like Yi Shaochen (3)
Through Yi Shaochen’s words, Mu Ruyue learned why martial artists within Wujie were so scarce.
It turned out that their meridians were different from those on the Divine Martial Continent. In the Divine Martial Continent, one could begin cultivation after passing a test, but the people of Wujie had blocked meridians and needed to undergo Bone Marrow Cleansing before they could start to cultivate.
However, only those Four Major Families possessed the Washing Marrow and Cutting Hair Pills.
Thus, ordinary people simply couldn’t practice cultivation.
Of course, aside from the Four Major Families, there were also some scattered martial artists within Wujie, though they were few in number. As for those mentioned by Murong Qingchu, they were completely bluffing her…
The Four Major Families did indeed want to take in martial artists who truly sought shelter, but not all of them would kill someone if they were refused – only those of extremely poor character would do such a thing.
This knowledge did help Mu Ruyue breathe a sigh of relief, but she also dared not let her guard down…
After Yi Shaochen left, Mu Ruyue quietly contemplated. After a long while, she began to understand certain things. It was at this moment that her gaze unintentionally caught sight of a bronze mirror not far away…
Reflected in the mirror was a face that looked somewhat weak.
Her skin was an unhealthy shade of pale, her hair was messily draped over her shoulders, and her pale lips were lightly pursed, creating a charming curve.
Yet, that originally fair and exquisite face was marred by a scar from a knife wound.
The scar was not large, but it ran from the tip of her eyebrow to her nose bridge, like the only blemish on her beautiful face…
“This must have been caused by those Frost Swords within Ju Gate,” Mu Ruyue lifted the corners of her lips and with a cool touch, her fingertips brushed over the faint pink scar, smiling indifferently, “Such a minor injury can be healed with an elixir, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing…”
Her original plan was to come to Wujie disguised with an ordinary appearance, yet due to an unforeseen error, her face was damaged by a Frost Sword. This was for the best, it saved Ye Wuchen from getting jealously upset later on. It wouldn’t be too late to heal this wound after seeing him…
“However…” Mu Ruyue’s eyebrows raised slightly, a glint of light passing through her eyes, “Should I be grateful to those Frost Swords for bringing me to the edge of a breakthrough?”
But to breakthrough here would certainly cause a great commotion, so without any hesitation, she entered the Dan Book World…
After a night of cultivation, Mu Ruyue’s injuries had almost completely healed. Except for the scar on her face that she deliberately did not let disappear, everything else had returned to its former state.
And because she was on the verge of a breakthrough, she leveraged the abundant Qi within the Dan Book World and broke through to the Dark Origin, reaching a brand-new realm…
“Congratulations.”
Yan Jin looked at the woman sitting on the ground, a hint of a smile tinged with a domineering aura in his brows and eyes: “Girl, you have finally left the Yellow Origin Realm and become a true powerhouse.”
“No,” Mu Ruyue shook her head and said calmly, “The path I must walk is still long. Compared to the enemies I will face, Dark Origin isn’t much. There are always stronger people out there, and many powerful individuals on the continent.”
Boom!
Just then, a thunderous aura surged from a mountain peak not far away, causing Mu Ruyue to lift her head involuntarily towards the immense white Divine Dragon on the mountain…
“Little White had already reached the Earth Origin Realm before this, and after the breakthrough, it has entered the Heavenly Primordial Realm, advancing from its juvenile to its growth stage…”
