Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 567 - 565: Qing Yu: Does Son-in-law’s Energy Devouring Rival Even the Beast Spirit Holy Mountain’s Guardian Divine Beast?!

In Lu Ye’s hand, a small jade bottle of elixir appeared in an instant.

Inside, two smooth elixirs lay quietly.

Though he hadn’t specified any more extractions, random draws continued.

These two Celestial Realm Pills were the result of his luck during those random draws.

Moreover, apart from the first being a Middle Grade Celestial Realm Pill, the second was not an ordinary Celestial Realm Pill but a One Pattern!

A faint pill pattern circled the elixir, making it visibly extraordinary at a glance.

Temporarily putting away the jade bottle containing the two Celestial Realm Pills, Lu Ye exhaled a breath of turbid air, closed his eyes, and began refining the remaining Celestial Cyan Lotus Seeds.

The anomalies of this mountain range were also noticed by cultivators passing by occasionally.

But entering the Mist Heaven Hall, several cultivators adhered to a plan, avoiding seemingly abnormal places as much as possible.

If some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had emerged, they might consider checking it out.

But now, it clearly wasn’t the movement of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures appearing.

When these cultivators passed by, to be on the safe side, they all chose to take a detour.

"This commotion, if not for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures appearing... could it be caused by someone cultivating?"

"Who could have such a grand scene while cultivating? I see the scope covers at least dozens of miles."

Several Mortal Realm figures journeying together whispered to each other.

Suddenly, a red-faced Mortal Realm figure thought for a moment and said quietly, "Could it be... that one? The one who previously defeated the Sea Spirit Saintess? If he’s cultivating here, I might just believe it."

Defeating Xiao Yudie... Chen Beixuan?!

The name flashed in their minds, and the few Mortal Realm figures smiled bitterly.

"If he’s cultivating here, it’s indeed possible. After all, reaching such a realm at his age already suggests that his cultivation technique is absolutely astonishing."

This viewpoint was met with nods of agreement from the others.

"Let’s get going. Whether it’s him cultivating or not, didn’t you see... there are even fierce beasts emerging from inside. Too terrifying!" Without hesitation, they swiftly distanced themselves from the ancient forest.

Lu Ye was unaware of the outside commotion, fully immersed in refining energy, advancing his cultivation.

After reaching the Earth Realm Ninth Layer, his dantian capacity had become even more terrifying.

Originally, ten lotus seeds could propel Lu Ye from the Earth Realm Eighth Layer to the Earth Realm Ninth Layer; the remaining ten could only just push him to the Earth Realm Ninth Layer Middle Stage.

Stronger than those just entering the Ninth Layer, but ultimately not reaching the Ninth Layer Late Stage.

"A major resource consumer, if I didn’t have some assets, I couldn’t even sustain myself." Seeing this, Lu Ye shook his head helplessly.

However, he also knew that to achieve such rapid advancement, abundant resources were indeed indispensable.

Without these resources, even with a small exertion of the Hundredfold Amplification, he might take years, even decades, to advance a realm in the Earth Realm.

"Since relying solely on Celestial Cyan Lotus Seeds isn’t enough, fortunately, I acquired fifty Source Crystals from that good person, the Sea Spirit Saintess..."

The Source Crystals in his hand were being consumed rapidly, and now, together with the Sea Spirit Saintess’s contribution, there were only two or three hundred left.

Each cultivation session required a minimum expenditure of dozens, enough to make the talents of Lingyao Celestial Palace or Sea Spirit Hall click their tongues in disbelief.

Even with their background, they couldn’t use Source Crystals so extravagantly.

While expressing gratitude to Xiao Yudie, Lu Ye held ten Source Crystals in his hand in the blink of an eye, with threads of Source Qi directly entering his body.

Soon after, the cultivation realm that had stopped at the Earth Realm Ninth Layer Middle Stage began to slowly rise again...

Meanwhile.

Qing Yu had also stabilized her realm at the Earth Realm First Layer Middle Stage.

Of course, much of the credit was due to the Celestial Cyan Lotus Seeds she received.

The lower the cultivation, the more help one lotus seed could provide.

As Qing Yu slowly concluded her practice and walked out of the closed cultivation cave chosen by the duke, she suddenly discovered that the Heaven and Earth Source Qi here was almost gone.

"This... is it absorbed by me, or by the duke?!"

Qing Yu’s mind froze for a moment; she remembered clearly that before entering this ancient forest, it was a place rich in Source Qi.

Otherwise, the two wouldn’t have chosen this place to cultivate.

But now...

"The duke’s absorption capacity is also so abnormal... Even in the Holy Mountain, the so-called Heaven Devouring Beast... this absorption efficiency is about the same."

With this thought crossing her mind, Qing Yu was surprised to find that the duke, in his human form, could absorb at a degree that rivaled the guardian Divine Beast of the Beast Spirit Holy Mountain!

And that guardian Divine Beast was one of the trump cards of the Beast Spirit Holy Mountain!

Its power was as deep as the ocean, rumored to be comparable to the Celestial Human Realm Perfection.

Similar in Source Qi refining speed to such a Heaven Devouring guardian Divine Beast, even if slightly inferior, was incredibly terrifying.

Suddenly, the sky that was originally cloudless began to gather a massive black cloud.

In an instant, it enveloped the entire ancient forest, and a dull atmosphere began to pervade.

At the same time, tiny white arcs of lightning flickered within the dark cloud layer, with a power of Heaven and Earth seemingly condensing.

"Thunderclouds?!"

Qing Yu was stunned. How could thunderclouds suddenly appear here?

Unless someone was breaking through, and at a great realm!

Qing Yu wasn’t foolish; soon, Lu Ye’s image appeared in her mind.

"No, the duke had been capable of facing off against the Sea Spirit Saintess before and even defeating her, he should have already been in the Celestial Realm..."

Thinking it over, Qing Yu noticed some discrepancies.

If her duke was not in the Celestial Realm before... how could he face Xiao Yudie head-on across such a great realm?!

But if the realm breakthrough for the duke now was from Celestial Realm to Celestial Human Realm... it didn’t add up either.

If Lu Ye had been at the Celestial Realm Eighth or Ninth Layer back then, making Xiao Yudie concede should have been easy.

Momentarily, Qing Yu felt a cloud of confusion in her mind.

At this time, the black thunderclouds above the sky gathered more and more densely, with a posture threatening to envelop the entire mountain range.

All eyes from the Second Layer of Mist Heaven Hall were cast in this direction.

"What’s happening over there, why have so many thunderclouds suddenly formed? Who is transcending a breakthrough?"

"But as I recall, when the Saint Son broke through to the Celestial Realm, it wasn’t such an impressive spectacle. Only a small patch of black clouds appeared since a true thunder tribulation happens when breaking through from the Celestial Realm to the Celestial Human Realm..."
