"Hum!"
Nirvana responded joyfully.
Qin Shi became excited after receiving confirmation, "I can't believe that the method to repair the Netherworld after searching for so long is actually under the Spiritual Origin Blood Pool?
It's really a case of wearing out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it by chance. "
In his excitement, Qin Shi didn't delay any longer. He took out the dim Netherworld from his space ring and held it in his hand. He hesitated for a while and asked Nirvana, "What should I do?"
"Hum!"
Nirvana trembled and drew a few rays of light on the sword-shaped tombstone. Then, he carved a natural gap on the top.
The shape and size of the gap were exactly the same as the Netherworld.
"Hum!" Nirvana responded after carving the gap.
"You want me to put the Netherworld in?" Qin Shi was stunned. After getting Nirvana's confirmation, he handed the Netherworld over with doubt.
The Netherworld merged into the gap perfectly. Then, the strange wave that was emitted from the tombstone suddenly surged and shot out.
The wave mixed with the soul gathered in front of the tombstone and gradually formed a translucent profound spirit sword.
"What a magical sword!"
Staring at the spirit sword and observing it carefully, Qin Shi found that the appearance of the spirit sword was very similar to the sword-shaped tombstone. It revealed a chilling prestige. Even Nirvana, who was below, showed a look of submission when he sensed it.
"Even Nirvana, one of the three great divine weapons of the empire, feels terrified in front of it?
Nirvana is a peak Emperor Soul Weapon. How terrifying is the original body of the spirit sword? "Qin Shi became serious and took a few steps back.
Just as he stepped back, the spirit sword became brighter. Then, it suddenly pounced on the Netherworld in the gap on the tombstone. The surging soul wave disturbed the surrounding blood water and covered the Netherworld.
The whole process lasted for a long time. About an hour later, it gradually calmed down. When the spirit light dissipated, Qin Shi was overjoyed. The Netherworld, which had been dim for a long time, emerged from the gap. There was a trace of life on it.
"It's repaired?"
Qin Shi was overjoyed and grabbed the Netherworld.
"Buzz!"
The Netherworld responded in a trembling voice. Then, it jumped up on its own and broke free from Qin Shi's hand with a snap. Then, it entangled with Quietus.
Looking at the two happy people, Qin Shi felt angry and amused at the same time. After a long while, he scolded in a bad mood, "Heh, alright. You just woke up and you're already thinking of picking up girls. Are you looking down on me, your master?"
The two seemed to understand Qin Shi's words and awkwardly bumped into each other a few times.
He shook his head helplessly. No matter what, the recovery of the Netherworld Energy was great news to Qin Shi.
"Let's go. Let's pass the good news to Rakshasa." Interrupting their entanglement, Qin Shi stood up impatiently.
Clang!
At this moment, a crisp sound came from the gap in the sword-shaped tombstone, causing Qin Shi to pause. He turned around and saw a dull necklace in front of the tombstone. The pendant of the necklace was the symbol of two crossed swords carved on the tombstone.
"What's this?"
After staring at the necklace for a while, Qin Shi picked it up and looked at it. However, he found that it was no different from other decorative necklaces. He could not help but frown, "Could it be an ordinary necklace?
Tsk, how dare you. It's a Sword Saint's mausoleum after all. How stingy! "
Feeling helpless, Qin Shi put the necklace away. "Forget it, it's a waste if I don't take it. Who knows, I might be able to use it in the future. If it really doesn't work, I'll give it to Xue Xin or Rakshasa as a gift. I might even be able to get a beauty to throw herself at me."
"Pfft!
I've been with that brat Tianyue for the past few days, and I've unknowingly become dirty. "
He shook his head vigorously. He really did not dare to have any relations with Yu Luocha now. After all, he had an agreement with Qin Xue Xin, and this was also a knot in his heart.
However, he had a slightly uninhibited personality, so it was inevitable for him to fantasize about it.
Fantasizing about the tenderness of two peerless beauties, Qin Shi did not say anything and moved towards the top of the blood pool.
As he neared the top of the blood pool, the blood water that had been rich in spirit force before had become extremely thin, causing him to raise the corner of his mouth. "It looks like they've all broken through, right?"
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
Just as he leapt onto the surface of the water, four beams of spirit light shot into the sky, dispersing the blood clouds in the sky and allowing the blue sky to reappear.
At this moment, the blood in the blood pool began to fade. Starting from Yu Luocha, then Feng Hen, and Xu Qiaoer, their bodies began to emit a faint light.
Yu Luocha had successfully reached the Cryptic Spirit Realm, Feng Hen had reached the late stage of the Cryptic Spirit Realm, and Xu Qiaoer had broken through to the mid stage of the King Spirit Realm. The three of them leapt out of the blood pool side by side.
Xiao Xuan and Xiao Tianyue ran up. Xiao Xuan excitedly grabbed Xu Qiaoer's lily-white hand. "Qiao 'er, you broke through?"
"En." Xu Qiaoer smiled sweetly.
"That's great!" Hugging Xu Qiaoer, Xiao Xuan felt happy for her.
Xiao Tianyue pursed her lips and looked at the light on their bodies. She couldn't help but say with jealousy, "If I had known that this blood pool was so powerful, I would have fought for it no matter what."
"Aren't you embarrassed? Did you give it up willingly?
Isn't it because you're lustful?
Remember, lust is a knife above your head! "The others rolled their eyes at him.
"Tch, even if it's a knife, I'm willing to be chopped to death. I'm someone with dreams and ambitions, someone with a grand blueprint. How can ordinary people like you understand me?" Xiao Tianyue unwillingly snorted.
Xiao Xuan shrugged. "Who wants to understand you? I have Qiao 'er, and that's enough."
While they were arguing, Qin Shi landed beside them in a black robe. Looking at their expressions, he smiled in relief. "You all succeeded?"
"En. Only Xiao Mi Cai is left."
The three of them replied. Shortly after, Qin Shi didn't say anything else and shifted his gaze back to the blood pool. The bottom of the blood pool was filled with rainbow light. He frowned. "Is the little lass not done yet?"
"I wonder what realm she's trying to break through. She seems to have reached a bottleneck." Yu Luocha held onto Qin Shi and said worriedly.
Qin Shi didn't say anything else. He stared at the rainbow light around Xiao Mi Cai. Even he couldn't understand the strange ripples of spiritual energy.
Rumble!
Just at this moment, the sky suddenly turned dark. Thunderclouds rolled and gathered, covering the sky above the blood pool.
The gathering of the thunderclouds shocked everyone.
"Lightning tribulation?"
Qin Shi's expression turned grave as he revealed a grave expression.
"Heaven Realm?
This lass is going to break through to Heaven Realm? "
"Heavens, just who is she?"
This was a scene that no one could have imagined. A Heaven Realm expert was an existence at the peak of the Crimson Flame Empire.
"Xiao Mi Cai was at the late stage of Cryptic Spirit Realm?" Yu Luocha opened her cherry lips in surprise.
Qin Shi frowned and revealed a bitter smile. Xiao Mi Cai had never mentioned anything related to cultivation to him. Therefore, how would he know what realm that little lass was in previously? "Looks like this little lass has hidden quite a number of things from me."
Crack!
The surging lightning fell, causing the blood in the blood pool to churn and the mountains and rivers to tremble.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. The instant the lightning tribulation descended, an unprecedented fear surged into his heart. "This is the power of the lightning tribulation?
Even an ordinary Heaven Realm expert might not be able to release it, right? "
He snorted. He finally understood why countless people at the peak of Cryptic Spirit Realm would rather stop and not touch the lightning tribulation. This lightning tribulation was so terrifying that it could even shatter the heavens and earth, right?
"Be careful!" In a panic, he opened up a barrier and tried his best to protect the crowd.
Hiding under the barrier, Yu Luocha and Xu Qiaoer looked worriedly at Little Mi Cai, "Brother, Shi Tou, will Little Mi Cai be fine?"
"Probably not, trust her."
Qin Shi shook his head helplessly. No matter how powerful he was, he could only stare helplessly, "She can only rely on herself now."
Rumble!
The lightning tribulation struck Xiao Mi Cai's body. In that instant, her human form dissipated and a three hundred zhang long giant python coiled around her. The seven-colored snakeskin fell off and turned into brand new scales.
The rumbling thunder lasted for a long time before it gradually subsided.
When the lightning tribulation subsided, the blood pool was blasted into ruins. A gorgeous seven-colored light figure leaped out from it and landed nimbly beside Qin Shi.
"Xiao Mi Cai!" Yu Luocha and the rest were overjoyed.
Xiao Mi Cai was still the same as before. She flung her colorful dress and smiled, "What's wrong? Why are all of you so excited? Did you all become Xiao Tianyue?"
When she said that, the few of them couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before revealing a smile.
Xiao Tianyue, who was at the side, pulled a long face and said angrily, "What about me?
What about me?
What's wrong with being like me?
I'm such a pragmatic person and I have ideals! "
"Stupid lass, come over here!"
As the few of them laughed, Qin Shi pulled Xiao Mi Cai out from the crowd and roared, "Why didn't you tell me that you were at the peak of Cryptic Spirit Realm?
Do you know how dangerous it is to break through like that? "
"I …" Xiao Mi Cai choked and lowered her head, feeling wronged, "I didn't hide it from father on purpose. I know that father has a strong personality. If he knew that my cultivation is higher than yours, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. So, I wanted to wait for father to surpass me before telling father."
"Moreover, I don't want to be stronger than father. I just wanted to hide in father's embrace and let father protect me. I was afraid that father would not protect me after knowing my cultivation."
After a few sentences, Qin Shi's heart couldn't help but feel warm, and the rage in his eyes dissipated. After a long time, he lightly brushed her colorful hair. "Silly girl, no matter what your cultivation is, you're still my daughter in front of me. If I don't protect you, then who should I protect?"
"Then, father, are you not angry anymore?"
Xiao Mi Cai was very obedient in front of Qin Shi. She lowered her head and said timidly.
"I wanted to be angry, but you said it was for my own good. If I was angry, wouldn't your Sister Luocha and Sister Qiao Er fall out with me?"
Qin Shi sighed and shook his head. He then smacked Xiao Mi Cai's nose, "But remember, this is the only time. Don't do it again!"
"En!"
Xiao Mi Cai agreed happily. The group of people laughed again.
Amidst the laughter, Qin Shi felt that something was wrong. He looked around the crowd and frowned, "Where are the Shangguan Family Head and the rest?"
"Little friend, cough cough, I'm here!"
Amidst the shock, a weak voice suddenly sounded from the blood pool. The few of them immediately looked down and revealed an awkward expression.
Due to the Thunder Calamity, Shangguan Ba and the other four were unable to dodge in time. At this moment, they were like five statues, firmly embedded in the messy cliff wall. Their faces were covered in dust and their hair stood up straight as if they had been struck by lightning.
