Chapter 434: Chapter 169 What have you done to Number Four, you beast? (6k)_2
Since Lu Yaoyao returned from two months out with Zhou Qing, she went straight into seclusion.
It seems she must have gained something, and as her master, he wisely chose not to ask much.
After all, the last time she went out with Zhou Qing, she came back having broken through two levels, so regarding Zhou Qing, Cao Zhengyang felt more at ease.
But now, it’s been more than three months, why does this residence look like this?
"Is she cultivating a more powerful technique?" Cao Zhengyang was both happy and worried.
The main thing was he didn’t understand this technique; was it suitable for her?
What if something went wrong in her practice?
While he was worrying, suddenly, a surge of powerful energy burst out from below.
Feeling this surge, Cao Zhengyang was first stunned, then full of delight.
"Nascent Soul Realm, she broke through, this child actually broke through!" Cao Zhengyang murmured excitedly, unable to suppress his smile.
After some time, the ice crystals covering the surroundings began to slowly melt, and under Cao Zhengyang’s expectant gaze, Lu Yaoyao happily opened the door.
She didn’t even glance at Cao Zhengyang in the sky but ran straight towards Little Spirit Peak.
Stretching out his hand, just about to greet her, Cao Zhengyang instantly stiffened in mid-air, his smile freezing, and his lips trembling violently.
Suddenly, he felt very sad!
...
Looking at Zhou Qing still in closed-door training, Lu Yaoyao’s eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment.
But she quickly cheered up again.
"It seems that the essence blood of the Golden-winged Roc is not easy to refine!" she murmured to herself.
Then, she gave herself a boost.
With the help of the "Ice Purity Skills" gifted by her third mother, she finally broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, just in time to use this momentum to cultivate the matching "Ice Lotus".
After all, this divine technique is many times stronger than any cultivation technique she had practiced before.
Just as she returned to Divine Peak, she saw her master sitting outside with a long face, and Lu Yaoyao ran over happily.
"Master, I broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Cao Zhengyang laughed.
...
Ten months later, Yan Xiaohu emerged from seclusion.
"Damn it, how long has it been?" Looking at Zhou Qing still in closed-door training, Yan Xiaohu holding an old hen felt incredulous.
Scratching his head, counting the time, it’s been a year since you and Lu came back from Canglan Mountain.
Don’t tell me you’re planning to break through to the late Nascent Soul in one go?
If that’s the case, as your senior brother, I might as well not live; this gap is getting ridiculous.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Qing’s residence suddenly emitted a low rumble, as if an ancient beast was awakening.
Yan Xiaohu stopped immediately, looking at the trembling old hen in his arms, which then laid a spirit egg out of fear and burrowed deeper into his arms, leaving him puzzled.
The next moment, the courtyard exploded, debris flying everywhere.
Then, a blinding golden light, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, burst out.
Yan Xiaohu’s expression changed instantly, quickly shifting sideways, immediately mobilizing his internal spiritual power to protect himself, and retreating rapidly without any hesitation.
Once he steadied himself, he looked warily towards the center of the light in the sky.
Inside the golden light, he saw a Golden-winged Roc with a body length of thirty feet spreading its golden wings.
Its feathers looked as if cast in gold, each one glinting with a cold light, its eyes like two golden suns, burning with intense flames, exuding endless majesty and dominance.
The wind roared, sand and stones flew.
Like a fierce beast from ancient myths, just a glance made Yan Xiaohu shiver and retreat again.
"I get it, you’re not dead, you beast, what did you do to Lao Si (old fourth)?"
Yan Xiaohu immediately reacted, shouting angrily, his sword launching with full killing intent, aimed directly at the Golden-winged Roc in the sky.
Last time, Zhou Qing was almost possessed by the Golden-winged Roc, but Lao Si said it was subdued by the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown.
Now it seems it wasn’t completely eradicated; the Old Peng King must have used some strange method to deceive Lao Si.
No wonder he’s been in seclusion for so long; it turns out he was being possessed.
But seeing Yan Xiaohu’s angry yet anxious appearance, Zhou Qing couldn’t help laughing.
The feeling of breaking through the shackles was exhilarating.
Eight months of seclusion, he finally managed to cultivate the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture" to Minor Achievement, and the effects of the Golden Roc True Body and Emperor’s Might were extraordinary.
He could clearly feel his combat power at its peak, his strength had a qualitative leap compared to before.
With the enhancement of his Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown and late Nascent Soul cultivation, crushing an ordinary Great Perfection would be a breeze.
Even those like Yu Ziqi who had initially grasped the realm, could be killed.
With a flash of light, the majestic Golden-winged Roc in the sky disappeared, replaced by the human form of Zhou Qing.
Seeing this, the furious expression of Yan Xiaohu shifted, and he immediately understood.
"Is it that Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture?" Yan Xiaohu blinked, then remembered.
With a big smile, Zhou Qing said, "Third Senior Brother, what are you doing? Holding a sword to me, I thought you were going to kill me for the greater good."
