NFBE Chapter 569 - 567: "Qing Yu... Qing Yu Was a Bit Presumptuous!", But I’ll Dare Next Time Too!
Chapter 569 - 567: "Qing Yu... Qing Yu Was a Bit Presumptuous!", But I’ll Dare Next Time Too!
Hearing this, the disciples of the Sea Spirit Hall couldn’t help but look towards the distant spectacle.
Though a considerable distance away, making it hard to estimate the exact figures accurately.
Yet, being visible from such a distance already indicated something significant.
The expanse of this colorful cloud was simply colossal!
Could it be that these colorful clouds... might very well extend beyond the range of a thousand meters?!
Xiao Yudie spoke with a complicated expression while observing, "According to my estimation, these colorful clouds cover at least... upwards of fifteen hundred meters."
This meant that both she and the Saint Son of the Yuanyang Palace were hailed as peerless prodigies in their respective factions.
But now, they were thoroughly suppressed by someone.
The most important thing Xiao Yudie hadn’t mentioned yet.
If the person breaking through was indeed Chen Beixuan from before, doesn’t that mean, during their battle...
He wasn’t even a genuine Celestial Realm cultivator at that time?!
What a concept.
The gap between the Earth Realm and the Celestial Realm is like a chasm, especially since she’s not at the First Layer of the Celestial Realm, but the Celestial Realm Second Layer.
Without being a true celestial, how could he have matched her blow for blow...
Thinking about it, Xiao Yudie’s face turned a bit red, even as her mind stayed calm.
Describing it as "matching her blow for blow" didn’t seem appropriate, as she knew she was completely suppressed throughout.
"Can someone in the Earth Realm suppress the Celestial Realm like this? Could it be I’m really that weak?"
In that moment, Xiao Yudie questioned her capabilities and whether they might actually be too poor to speak of.
If not, how do people say that the higher the realm, the harder it is to defeat someone across Great Realms?
"It shouldn’t be him, right? After all, there are so many people in the Mist Heaven Hall; how could it be such a coincidence."
This thought crossed Xiao Yudie’s mind.
Covering an area of at least fifteen hundred meters, the colorful clouds shrouded a large part of the ancient woodland. The dense Heaven and Earth Energy pouring down was enough to make any cultivator envious.
For a good five to six minutes, the colorful energy pillar slowly diminished after pouring from the clouds.
Meanwhile, inside the cave where Lu Ye was in closed-door cultivation.
Lu Ye opened his eyes, a presence far stronger than the Earth Realm Ninth Layer flashed and disappeared around him.
"Celestial Realm... after years of hard cultivation, today, I’ve finally reached this realm."
Sensing the Source Qi flowing inside him and how different it was from before—its condensed solidity far surpassed several Earth Realm Ninth Layers—Lu Ye showed a hint of satisfaction.
The Heavens reward diligence! As long as you put in the effort, there will be rewards.
My struggles, risking life, and acquiring resources finally paid off with today’s Celestial Realm breakthrough.
After refining the colorful cloud’s gift, Lu Ye directly skipped the Celestial Realm First Layer Early Stage and Middle Stage, reaching the Celestial Realm First Layer Late Stage!
It’s known that after reaching the Celestial Realm, advancing a single stage requires an amount of energy that shocks even those at the Earth Realm Ninth Layer.
This single gift directly shortened that process by two-thirds, saving at least a month or two, along with a huge amount of resources.
"Too bad, with just three more minutes, I should’ve been able to make a push for the Celestial Realm Second Layer."
A slight sense of regret appeared briefly in his heart but quickly faded away.
For Lu Ye, receiving such a gift was already an unexpected euphoric surprise, and he shouldn’t dwell on it.
Exiting the cave, he sensed that within dozens of miles around, not even a rabbit was in sight, which made him chuckle.
"Why do I feel like I’m sort of a walking fierce beast now?"
Wherever I go, even the fiercest of beasts tuck their tails and flee, fearing confronting great terror if they delayed even slightly.
Lu Ye hadn’t gone out yet, but within his spiritual sense, a figure approached, although it stopped a short distance from entering, waiting outside the cave.
This aura was very familiar to Lu Ye; naturally, it was Qing Yu.
"Probably noticed the commotion had died down and came over to wait for me to come out?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye rose and swept out of the cave, promptly spotting Qing Yu curiously scanning the surroundings outside.
"You’ve reached the Earth Realm Second Layer?"
Detecting Qing Yu’s slightly changed aura, Lu Ye sensed briefly and was a bit surprised.
This advancement speed was quite impressive.
"Yes, thanks to the Celestial Cyan Lotus Seeds; otherwise, it would have taken me some time," Qing Yu replied with a hint of a smile.
Staring at Lu Ye’s dazzling yet slightly fatigued face, Qing Yu suddenly stepped forward two steps, reached out, and touched Lu Ye’s cheek.
"My lord... you’ve worked hard."
Not expecting Qing Yu to do something like this suddenly, Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned a bit odd.
"What are you doing..."
"My lord, I’m sorry, Qing Yu was... a bit impudent."
Despite saying this, Qing Yu didn’t immediately withdraw her hand; she left it there for another second before sheepishly retracting it.
Glancing at Qing Yu, Lu Ye didn’t say much more, but just mentioned not to be so bold again, then left the ancient woods with Qing Yu.
He figured, given such a disturbance here, others might come soon.
Leaving early would be more peaceful.
"My lord, the Third Layer of the Mist Heaven Hall and the previous chaotic space torrents should be at their strongest; now after about five days, they should have weakened a bit, shall we head to the Third Layer now?"
Along the way, Qing Yu asked.
Sang Xiyao had previously told Lu Ye this information too, and during the past five days, almost no one dared to venture to the Third Layer.
Considering the enhanced chaotic space torrents wouldn’t joke around with anyone, getting caught would be fatal.
"Alright, let’s head to the Third Layer; I’m curious about what it’s like there." After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye headed toward the depths of the Second Layer.
Behind him, Qing Yu followed flying, rubbing the hand that had... just touched Lu Ye.
"Next time when I find a chance... I’ll do it again!"
Though Qing Yu felt some panic the moment she gathered her courage to extend her hand, after she did it, she suddenly felt a sense of calm, as if she’d foreseen this would happen one day.
After all, from the moment she walked out of Jiang Mansion with Lu Ye...
She had already wholeheartedly considered herself to be Lu Ye’s person.
Lu Ye was unaware that Qing Yu’s resolve was growing stronger; he was leading the way ahead, realizing his speed had increased drastically compared to before.
Now, if he had to compete with the Sea Spirit Saintess, Lu Ye felt confident he could leave her trailing far behind.
