NOVPUBChapter 151: Someone Wants to Eat the Cabbage?!
Boundless Sea Peak.
Yi Hao stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing towards the Pilgrimage Palace.
Dark clouds gathered in the distance, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
A Third Stage Core Formation tribulation… it wasn’t inherently difficult.
However, the more talented the cultivator, the more formidable the tribulation… And knowing Bai Ruoxi’s talent, her tribulation would undoubtedly be a challenge.
Perhaps I should go and observe… After all, she’s a valuable disciple I fought hard to recruit.
As the thought crossed his mind, he sensed a presence beside him.
He turned to see a woman standing there, her body emanating a captivating fragrance.
Her eyes were alluring, her features exquisite. Her long hair cascaded down her back, reaching her calves. She wore a loose, unadorned robe that did little to conceal her ample bosom.
Despite her simple attire, she exuded an irresistible charm.
The founding Peak Master of Boundless Sea Peak, one of the most powerful cultivators in the world.
And Yi Hao’s Master.
Ying Guhuan raised her alluring eyes, gazing towards the Pilgrimage Palace, a thoughtful expression on her face. “A Core Formation tribulation?” she murmured.
Yi Hao’s heart skipped a beat as he snapped out of his daze. “Master,” he said, bowing respectfully.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, “What brings you out of seclusion?”
She glanced at him, a playful smile gracing her lips. “Can’t I go for a stroll?”
If I don’t act now, someone else might snatch the cabbage…
Though Mu Zhi’an wasn’t a disciple of Boundless Sea Peak, he was connected to the Demon Realm Empress, and his Dao Companion was an inner disciple of their peak… Therefore, it was in their best interest to maintain a close relationship with him.
“The inner disciple we recruited recently is facing her tribulation. Once she overcomes it, she’ll be at the Third Stage of Core Formation,” Yi Hao said, subtly boasting about their new prodigy.
Despite being a Peak Master himself, he still felt a sense of awe and respect towards his Master. He yearned for her approval.
Ying Guhuan pondered for a moment, then asked, “Bai Ruoxi?”
It was clear that she kept herself informed of events outside her secluded mountain retreat.
He nodded, and she smiled. “Reaching the Third Stage of Core Formation at such a young age… it’s not just talent. She must have encountered some extraordinary opportunities.”
Normally, each stage within the Core Formation Realm required years of dedicated cultivation.
But how long had it been since Bai Ruoxi had reached the Core Formation Realm?
She had already advanced from the First Stage to the Third Stage.
Her talent was a factor, but it wasn’t the only reason.
Someone was helping her, accelerating her progress.
“According to the intel Junior Sister Lan sent, Bai Ruoxi possesses immense destiny. That’s why she keeps encountering opportunities,” Yi Hao explained.
It was more than just luck.
Mu Zhi’an was likely responsible… Ying Guhuan’s gaze drifted towards the Dongtian beneath the cliffs.
The potent spiritual energy emanating from the Innate Celestial Vessel had faded, but… she was certain of what she had sensed.
Mu Zhi’an’s Innate Celestial Vessel had become even more powerful.
It was likely related to the opportunity he had received within Ling Long’s Dongtian.
An extraordinary opportunity!
In fact, Mu Zhi’an was now more valuable than the Heavenly Dao Aura!
Even if she obtained the Heavenly Dao Aura, she would only be able to cultivate with it for a limited time before returning it to the Demon Realm.
But Mu Zhi’an… he was a treasure that could remain within the Two Polarities Sect.
“Where are you going, Master?” Yi Hao asked, seeing her about to leave.
She chuckled softly. “I told you, I’m going for a stroll.”
And to see if Mu Zhi’an’s Innate Celestial Vessel had ripened.
She waved her sleeve and took a step forward.
Her figure vanished.
Upon reaching the Seventh Stage of Nascent Soul, a cultivator could “shrink the earth into inches,” traversing vast distances with ease.
Master has at least reached the Seventh Stage… Yi Hao stared at the empty space where she had stood, a sense of unease washing over him.
Master usually had no interest in anything other than cultivation… Why was she so eager today?
He was about to turn away when he noticed another figure soaring through the air.
Yu Ziyan, the Peak Master of Dao Peak.
Before he could speak, she too vanished.
He hesitated, his eyes widening in surprise.
What’s going on today…?
If something had alarmed the Peak Masters, they should be at the Pilgrimage Palace…
Could there be something more important than Bai Ruoxi’s Third Stage Core Formation tribulation?
The Heavenly Dao Aura had amplified the spiritual energy emanating from Mu Zhi’an’s secondary vessel. However, male cultivators couldn’t sense the unique aura of an Innate Celestial Vessel, so Yi Hao remained oblivious to the reason behind the two Peak Masters’ sudden departure.
He followed their path with his gaze, his eyes widening as he realized their destination.
“Senior Ling Long’s Dongtian?” he murmured.
They’re all going to Ling Long’s Dongtian?
For some reason, the first person that came to mind wasn’t Ling Long, but Mu Zhi’an.
Boom!
A thunderous roar snapped him out of his thoughts. He turned towards the Pilgrimage Palace, his expression changing.
Someone else is facing their tribulation at the Pilgrimage Palace?
…
Meanwhile, within Ling Long’s Dongtian.
Mu Zhi’an slowly opened his eyes.
He could feel the Heavenly Dao Aura circulating within his secondary vessel, amplifying the potency and allure of its spiritual energy.
As for his destiny… he didn’t sense any changes.
After all, destiny was an abstract concept. If not for the testing steles, most people wouldn’t even believe it existed.
He glanced at Lin Ling, who was sitting on the ground, her legs folded beneath her. Her cheeks were flushed, her breathing heavy.
She looked up at him, her gaze meeting his.
Her bright red eyes locked onto his secondary vessel.
What’s wrong with Sister Lin Ling…?
I know she’s constantly tormented by the karmic fire, but… this doesn’t seem normal…
“Sister Lin Ling, is the destiny inheritance complete?” he asked hesitantly.
Her eyes flickered with a strange emotion, then she bit her lip, trying to regain her composure.
An Innate Celestial Vessel held no benefits for her… but that didn’t mean it couldn’t tempt her.
It was like craving a delicious dessert, even though it offered no nutritional value. The spiritual energy emanating from his Innate Celestial Vessel, amplified by the Heavenly Dao Aura, was incredibly alluring, even to a Spirit Dragon.
After all, Spirit Dragons were naturally drawn to those with great destiny.
She wrote on a piece of paper: It’s complete.
She hesitated for a moment, then added: Don’t come near me for the next fifteen minutes.
She tossed him a testing stele.
He understood her meaning. She wanted him to distract himself while she dealt with her… situation.
He tossed the stele into the air, and it expanded, becoming twice his height.
He touched the stele.
A brilliant pink light erupted from its surface, illuminating Lin Ling’s flushed face, making her appear even more alluring.
He stared at the stele, stunned.
Why is my destiny getting even stronger…?
He glanced at Lin Ling, who was sitting with her eyes closed, seemingly enduring great discomfort.
He wanted to help, but considering her status, he held back.
Relationships required patience and understanding…
Fifteen minutes later, she opened her eyes.
Mu Zhi’an, who had been staring at her intently, quickly averted his gaze.
He believed in the separation of humans and mystical beasts, but honestly, Lin Ling was perfect in every way, except for her insatiable appetite.
She looked like a young girl, but her body was as mature and alluring as a ripe peach. And her captivating red eyes held a certain innocence that only enhanced her charm.
She was both pure and seductive, innocent and alluring…
It’s not me, it’s her… She must have cultivated some kind of “charm” technique… He forced himself to look away, maintaining his gentlemanly facade.
She stood up and wrote on a piece of paper: It’s time to leave.
He nodded, thanking her once again. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Though the Heavenly Dao Aura she had given him wouldn’t directly benefit his own cultivation, the destiny inheritance was a significant boon. It would help him overcome any future bottlenecks.
That was one of the perks of possessing great destiny.
And with the Heavenly Dao Aura’s assistance, he could help Bai Ruoxi reach the Nascent Soul Realm quickly.
A powerful Dao Companion would be beneficial to him as well.
I need to find a way to help Lingxuan and Qian’er too…
And Senior Sister Lan seems to be stuck at the Core Formation Realm. I’d like to repay her kindness if I can…
As he followed Lin Ling out of the Dongtian, he saw three familiar figures approaching.
Yu Ziyan, the mature and alluring Peak Master of Dao Peak, clad in her Taoist robes and headdress. Beside her was her junior sister, Yan Ruyu, the Master of the Book Pavilion, her beauty both youthful and mature.
And standing a short distance away was Ying Guhuan, the founding Peak Master of Boundless Sea Peak, the suspected “Seventh Seat” of the Demon Realm.
Her attire was simple, but her white, toned skin and her alluring eyes hinted at her captivating figure.
Perhaps because of the tribulation occurring outside, the sky was dark, illuminated only by flickering lanterns. Mu Zhi’an could see the silhouette of the aerial pavilion atop the mountain, lightning flashing behind it.
The dark sky, the flickering lanterns, and the ancient pavilion created a picturesque scene.
He then noticed another figure descending gracefully on a cloud.
Lan Mulian.
This ancient setting, paired with these beautiful women… it’s perfect. Especially Senior Sister, who looks like a celestial maiden from an ancient painting. It’s a shame she’s still wearing that veil.
He observed the approaching women, his heart sinking as he realized their intentions.
It seemed the amplified aura from his secondary vessel had been detected.
