Thirty years later, Li Changsheng and Xin Mingyue were still in seclusion in the Spirit Realm Cave. In the first year, Xin Mingyue passed the baptism of the Yangling Pool and was successfully promoted to a first-grade perfect spiritual root. She once longed to go further, but a year later, she found that the improvement of her in the Yangling Pond had been minimal, and she had to give up this approach.
So, Xin Mingyue slowly walked out of the spirit nourishing pond. She waved her sleeves lightly, and her clothes were neatly dressed in an instant, and her figure was still as elegant as a fairy. The Spirit-nurturing Pond has no effect on her now, but the spiritual energy here is rich. Xin Mingyue doesn't want to waste such a good opportunity and quickly begins to prepare for future retreats.
The moment Xin Mingyue walked out of the spirit-nurturing pond, Xiao Hei opened his eyes and jumped into the spirit-nurturing pond without hesitation. Its sudden behavior made Xin Mingyue shocked and couldn't help but feel a little panic. She turned around and looked at the Soul-raising Pond, and saw Xiao Hei swimming happily in the water, as if he was enjoying the coolness of the pond water and the nourishment of spiritual energy.
Seeing this, Xin Mingyue couldn't help but cursed angrily: "You beast, I almost fell down. When No. 58 comes out of seclusion, I will let him roast you and eat you to satisfy the hatred in my heart!" "However, even when she was scolding, there was a hint of helplessness and doting in her tone. It was obvious that she loved and hated Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei in the Soul-raising Pond didn't seem to care about Xin Mingyue's angry scolding. His whole body was deeply submerged into the Soul-nurturing Pond, as if he was integrated with the water. No matter how Xin Mingyue called, Xiao Hei didn't respond at all, as if he was immersed in his own world, completely ignoring Xin Mingyue's existence. Such indifference and silence made Xin Mingyue a little bit dumbfounded. She could only helplessly look at Xiao Hei who was leisurely and contented in the spirit nourishing pond.
Xin Mingyue ignored Xiao Hei and turned around, her eyes falling on the cave opened by Li Changsheng. A knowing smile appeared on her face, which was full of warmth and expectation. She decided to open a cave of her own at the entrance of the cave, so that she could ensure her own cultivation without disturbing the important moment of Li Changsheng's breakthrough to the divine transformation stage.
Just do what she said, Xin Mingyue acted quickly. She chose a suitable location and used her spiritual power to start opening up the cave. After a period of hard work, an exquisite and quiet cave gradually took shape. She arranged the interior of the cave to make the environment more pleasant and suitable for retreat practice.
At this moment, all the elixirs in front of Li Changsheng had been consumed, except for one Heavenly Spirit Pill still lying quietly in his hand. This Heavenly Spirit Pill was originally obtained from the relics of senior Xiao Yunhai, and he had always regarded it as a precious treasure, which he would take only when he broke through the ascension stage.
However, the current situation did not allow him to hesitate at all. If he does not take this heavenly elixir, he will need to drink all the spiritual milk to meet the needs for breakthrough. But Li Changsheng knew very well the importance of spiritual milk to Taoist Lingxu. Once the spiritual milk was exhausted, Taoist Lingxu would definitely not be able to sustain it for long. And Xiao Hei, that cute little creature, will have no choice but to lick his toes and will no longer be able to enjoy the sweet spiritual milk.
Thinking of this, Li Changsheng no longer hesitated and decided to take this heavenly elixir. He gently held up the elixir, and a powerful wave of spiritual energy spread instantly, making people palpitate. He took a deep breath and slowly put the Tianling Pill into his mouth. The pill instantly turned into a pure energy, raging in his body.
Li Changsheng closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to run the technique with all his strength, guiding this huge energy into his meridians. He could feel the spiritual energy in his body filling up rapidly, and his meridians were constantly expanding, as if his body was about to burst. But he gritted his teeth and persisted. He knew that only by withstanding the baptism of this energy could he successfully break through the divine transformation stage and embark on a higher spiritual realm.
Xin Mingyue, who had been in seclusion, suddenly opened her eyes. She keenly felt the subtle changes in the surrounding environment. The spiritual energy around her was slowly but surely converging towards Li Changsheng's cave. She knew that this meant that Li Changsheng had begun his breakthrough to the realm of divine transformation.
After more than thirty years of practice, Xin Mingyue's current cultivation level is already at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, and she is only one step away from the realm of divine transformation. She knew that Li Changsheng's breakthrough at this moment was also an important opportunity for her. However, she also knew that she could not continue to retreat, otherwise it might affect Li Changsheng's breakthrough.
Therefore, Xin Mingyue resolutely decided to go out of seclusion to protect Li Changsheng. She stood up, exuding a fierce and decisive aura. She walked out of the cave step by step, with firm eyes and full of spiritual energy. She knew that her responsibilities were heavy and she could not afford to neglect them in the slightest.
Under Xin Mingyue's escort, Li Changsheng's breakthrough went smoothly and steadily. The surrounding spiritual energy continued to gather, forming bright beams of light that enveloped Li Changsheng's cave.
They were deep in the cave of the spiritual realm. This place was full of unknowns and dangers, so Xin Mingyue did not dare to be careless at all. She knew very well that although they seemed safe now, the crisis hidden in the cave could break out at any time. Those unknown dangers are like dormant beasts. Once they break into their territory, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Xin Mingyue is like a vigilant guardian, always maintaining a high degree of vigilance. She used her consciousness to sense everything around her and carefully explored the surrounding environment to ensure that nothing could disturb Li Changsheng's breakthrough.
Xiao Hei woke up leisurely from the spirit nourishing pond. At this moment, it was slightly different from before. That kind of sharp and deep look was something I had never seen before. When Xiao Hei stepped closer to Xin Mingyue, her vigilance immediately increased to the extreme. She found that Xiao Hei's eyes were no longer as docile as before, but full of wildness and perseverance.
As a practitioner, Xin Mingyue reacted very quickly and was ready to attack almost instantly. However, Xiao Hei did not make any attack movements. It just walked slowly to Xin Mingyue's side, and then lay down quietly, like a white statue, motionless.
Xin Mingyue was stunned. She looked at Xiao Hei's sharp eyes and suddenly realized that it was protecting Li Changsheng. At this moment, Xin Mingyue had a new understanding of Xiao Hei. She discovered that the spiritual pet in front of her was definitely not an ordinary monster. Its eyes and aura all revealed a majesty and power that surpassed ordinary monsters. Xin Mingyue felt a surge of respect in her heart. She knew that Xiao Hei was a trustworthy and reliable partner.
