The vortex vanished.
He sat there quietly.
Unbeknownst to how much time had passed.
The trace of Void Tribulation Fire on Lan Xueyi's body finally dissipated.
And from her, emanated an unprecedentedly powerful bloodline power. Her appearance seemed to have become even more refined and beautiful, every inch of her skin flowed with a faint luster, and her figure became more slender and perfect.
Especially her aura.
It was as if she had undergone a complete transformation.
That cold, snow-like aura intensified.
And...
A hint of indescribable nobility was added.
Making one recognize her extraordinary nature at a glance.
"Hoo!"
Lan Xueyi exhaled, feeling relaxed and at ease.
She quickly looked at Ling Fan, who was not far away.
Ling Fan was still closing his eyes.
Lan Xueyi dared not disturb him and quietly familiarized herself with her transformed bloodline and body.
After some more time passed.
Ling Fan finally opened his eyes.
Swish!
In an instant.
It was as if two incredibly terrifying bolts of lightning had pierced the darkness of the forbidden secret chamber.
Ling Fan's eyes blazed with divine light. Those two eyes were as brilliant as stars, making heaven and earth suddenly lose their color.
Soon.
The divine light in Ling Fan's eyes receded. His eyes, as black as ink, returned to their calm, unruffled state.
"Brother Fan, what was that just now...?"
Lan Xueyi looked at Ling Fan in surprise. From the divine light emanating from Ling Fan's eyes earlier, she had actually felt a familiar yet dangerous aura.
It had once made her mistake it for the second tribulation relighting.
Ling Fan nodded.
He said, "That's right, it was the Void Tribulation Fire from your second tribulation. I've refined it into my Heavenly Demon Eye divine ability."
Lan Xueyi covered her mouth in shock.
Only those who had experienced the death tribulation of the Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body would know how terrifying that tribulation was.
Yet Ling Fan had directly refined the tribulation fire into his own eyes. Such a method could be called divine skill.
Lan Xueyi looked at Ling Fan with even greater adoration and admiration.
"Are we going back to Liuyun Kingdom now? My father and mother must be worried to death by now."
Lan Xueyi said.
"Yes, it's time to go back."
Ling Fan nodded.
"But before we leave, I need to do something."
Ling Fan's gaze seemed to penetrate the forbidden secret chamber and see the world of the Upper Azure Realm.
"Xueyi, what do you think is the meaning of the existence of the Upper Azure Realm?"
"Ah?"
Xueyi was stunned by the question and stuck out her tongue. "I've never thought about it."
Ling Fan stood up and said, "This is a cocoon, a self-imposed cocoon."
"Although I don't know what those strong individuals of the Upper Azure Realm were hiding from, I can guess that they wanted to isolate themselves from the outside world and prevent the outside world from knowing their existence."
"And at the same time, the Martial Venerables of the Condensing Core realm in the Upper Azure Realm at that time plundered all the spiritual脉 and spiritual energy of the Liuyun Kingdom's territory, incorporating them into the Upper Azure Realm. This weakened Liuyun Kingdom while ensuring their own cultivation resources would not be depleted."
"The Upper Azure Realm has no need to exist anymore."
Ling Fan said lightly.
"Xueyi, you wait for me outside for a while. I want to use the resources of the Upper Azure Realm to push my cultivation to the peak of the Profound Gang realm and then break through to Nine Yang."
"Mhm."
Xueyi nodded and walked out.
...
In the secret chamber.
Ling Fan took out the collections of the major sects of the Upper Azure Realm that Toad had brought. Immediately, all sorts of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures filled the entire forbidden secret chamber.
The Samsara Divine Cauldron appeared.
With its mouth facing the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, a majestic devouring force erupted. The heavenly materials and earthly treasures rapidly dimmed, and at the same time, the liquid at the bottom of the cauldron rose at a visible speed.
Ling Fan opened his mouth and swallowed.
The spiritual liquid turned into a thin stream, being continuously swallowed into his mouth.
The Nirvana Tribulation Body circulated. Various spiritual fires enveloped Ling Fan. Ling Fan's physical body seemed to turn into a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing the immense energy.
...
Two days later.
The seventh blood pill was formed.
Five days later.
The eighth blood pill was formed.
Fifteen days later.
The ninth blood pill was formed.
Boom!
The moment Ling Fan's nine blood pills condensed.
A world-shattering aura instantly shot up from the forbidden secret chamber into the sky.
The vast Upper Azure Realm.
For thousands of miles, any being above the Giant Spirit realm felt that terrifying aura that made their souls tremble.
"This is... someone has condensed a Core and become a new Martial Venerable!"
"It must be. This aura... it must be that a new Martial Venerable has been born in the Upper Azure Realm!"
"How many years has it been..."
"Since the generation of Martial Venerables who opened up the Upper Azure Realm passed away, it has been hundreds of years since a new Martial Venerable was born. Heaven has not abandoned our Upper Azure Realm."
"Hmph! With the birth of a new Martial Venerable in our Upper Azure Realm, Ling Fan's death is imminent!"
"Wait, that's not right... this direction is the Four Symbols Sect!"
"Could it be that Ling Fan has become a Martial Venerable?!!!"
After a brief shock, those strong individuals discovered this desperate reality.
The signs that had made them ecstatic moments ago immediately turned into a basin of cold water, drenching them from head to toe.
"The Upper Azure Realm... is finished! Completely finished!"
Just as the remaining Giant Spirit realm powerhouses in the Upper Azure Realm wailed in despair.
In the Four Symbols Sect.
Toad and Wu Zhi were feasting and enjoying themselves immensely.
Suddenly.
That aura from the forbidden area deep within the Four Symbols Sect shot up into the sky.
Wu Zhi was so startled that he fell onto the ground, spilling wine all over himself.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Damn, such a strong enemy! Quickly invite Venerable Ling!"
Wu Zhi was so terrified by the aura that he lost his composure, his face filled with extreme fear.
"Slap!"
A paw as large as a cattail fan swung over, slapping Wu Zhi awake.
"Look at you, you coward. Stop panicking, it's Venerable Ling!"
Toad said with great disdain.
"Oh... Huh?"
Wu Zhi's eyes filled with shock.
"This aura... is it a Condensing Core realm Martial Venerable? Has Venerable Ling really advanced to Martial Venerable!"
Wu Zhi said disbelievingly.
Toad looked towards the depths of the Four Symbols Sect, lost in thought. "He probably hasn't yet. I can't see through Venerable Ling's cultivation. On the surface, he's in the Profound Gang realm, but in reality, his realm is far beyond the surface. However... even though his cultivation hasn't reached the Condensing Core realm, his strength is definitely comparable to a true Condensing Core realm expert."
"I see!"
Wu Zhi's suspended heart finally relaxed.
He said proudly, "This is great news! Come, Master Mo, let's have a drink to celebrate! We've latched onto an even thicker thigh, we must have a toast."
"Slap!"
Toad slapped him again.
"What do you mean 'we'? You and I are on different levels. I am the true follower of Venerable Ling. As for you, at most you are an acquaintance with some connection to Venerable Ling."
"Yes, yes!"
Wu Zhi dared not argue with Toad, saying, "You follow Venerable Ling to eat meat, and I, Little Wu, will be content with just drinking the soup!"
"Let's go, let's go welcome Venerable Ling."
Toad said.
