It had been more than two years but Bai Xiashuang's realm didn't change much. She had progressed from the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm to the middle stage. Clearly, she hadn't been cultivating seriously.
He asked Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling and learned that they had made great progress. Jiang Qiling had reached the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Realm and Bai Qiuxue's cultivation speed was even faster. She had reached the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm. They had been in closed-door cultivation recently. Bai Qiuxue should be preparing to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm.
Lu Renhuang was not back yet, but his jade talisman of life was fine. What realm was he at? Had he reached the Semi-God Realm?
The Feather Land of the West and the Ocean Land of the East had been completely pacified. In the Divine Great Land, except for some sneaky actions, nothing serious happened.
Almost all the disciples of the Lu, Jiang, Ye, and Kong Clans had entered the Inferno, and their cultivation speed was very fast.
What surprised Lu Li the most was that Bai Xiashuang mentioned that there were three people who were making rapid progress. One of them was Ye Luo, who had reached the Earth Immortal Realm. His cultivation speed was impressive.
The other one was Prajna. According to Bai Xiashuang, this beautiful nun was cultivating even faster than Jiang Qiling. In two years, she had reached the Human Sovereign Realm.
"Middle-stage Human Sovereign Realm?
Hannya is only twelve or thirteen years old, right? "
Lu Li was speechless. Prajna was of miraculous birth and she was the apprentice of the old abbot. Naturally, her cultivation speed would not be slow.
But to reach the Renhuang Plane at the age of twelve or thirteen was too shocking.
After all, Lu Renhuang had reached the Human Sovereign Realm at the age of 20. He was regarded as a talent that only appeared once in a hundred thousand years. Was Prajna a talent that only appeared once in a million years?
"Yes, Little Wisdom of Wisdom just returned to the Great Buddhist Temple a few days ago and has been talking about you.
Prajna is adorable and pretty. Prajna has always liked you. How about you marry her? "Bai Xiashuang asked, tilting her head and blinking.
Lu Li rolled his eyes. He pinched her nose and said, "What are you talking about?
There are so many people who like me. Do I have to marry all of them?
Furthermore … Hannya is still so young. What are you thinking about every day? "
"Hehe!"
Bai Xiashuang stuck out her tongue mischievously and said with a smile, "I'm just testing you. You haven't been fooling around in the past two years, have you?"
"It's a mess!"
Lu Li curled his lips and said, "I brought back a pretty girl this time. She's in the back. I'll introduce her to you later."
"You dare?"
Bai Xiashuang raised her eyebrows. She pouted with her hands on her waist. But when she saw the faint smile on Lu Li's face, she could no longer pretend to be serious. She moved closer and said, "Darling, you must be lying to me, right?"
"Hehe!"
Lu Li patted Bai Xiashuang's hair and explained, "Yes, there is a beautiful lady. But she is my spiritual beast, Master of Fairy Fox, a paleo-beast."
"Oh!"
Bai Xiashuang pretended to be relieved and patted her chest. She paused for a while and then continued, "Darling, guess who broke through the fastest?
I don't think you can guess. "
"Oh?"
Lu Li was curious. Previously, Bai Xiashuang said there were three people who could cultivate fast. Ye Luo and Prajna could understand that. But Bai Xiashuang said he could not figure out the third one, which intrigued him.
Since he couldn't guess it, it must be someone he knew. Moreover, this person's cultivation speed wasn't fast in the past, but in the past two years, he had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Lu Li thought about it and asked, "Can you give me some hints?
Like a man or a woman, how old? "
Bai Xiashuang tilted her head and said, "Okay, I will give you some hints. It is a beautiful lady, in her twenties."
"A beautiful lady, in her twenties?"
Lu Li remembered several faces. He thought for a while and said, "Is it Ye Yu?"
Ye Luo's younger sister, Ye Yu, was not very talented and her cultivation speed was not fast. Lu Li would be surprised to hear that she had advanced by leaps and bounds.
"No. Keep guessing!"
Bai Xiashuang said with a grin, "I will give you two more chances. If you can't guess it, you must give me a gift."
"Sure!"
Lu Li pinched Bai Xiashuang's nose affectionately. He liked Bai Xiashuang's vivacious and lively personality.
They had been away for over two years. He could give her 100 gifts, let alone one.
At this moment, they were flying towards their base camp. Since it wasn't too far away, they just flew over like this.
Lu Feixue and Ming Yu led the way, leaving Bai Xiashuang and Bai Xiashuang to talk about their parting.
There was still some time before they arrived at the base camp. Lu Li thought about it. After a while, he said a name, "Is it … Ye Xiaoxi?"
"Who is Ye Xiaoxi?"
Bai Xiashuang blinked in confusion. Lu Li explained with a forced smile, "I think I am wrong. Ye Xiaoxi is Ye Cha's granddaughter."
"Wrong, wrong. This is the last chance. Come on, come on!" Bai Xiashuang was excited as if she was about to win against Lu Li.
Actually …
Lu Li had an answer in his mind. But seeing Bai Xiashuang's expectant expression, he said a name randomly, "Is it Lu Hongyu?"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Bai Xiashuang laughed and said, "You are wrong. You must give me a gift.
The correct answer is … Zi Lian. Zi Lian has been in closed-door cultivation for years. She came out half a month ago. Her realm has shocked many people. She has reached the Earth Immortal Realm! "
"What?"
This time, it was Lu Li's turn to be shocked. He had guessed that the person was Zi Lian. But he did not expect that she had reached the Earth Immortal Realm.
Earth Immortal Realm!
She was not at the Noble Lord Realm or the Human Sovereign Realm.
Zi Lian came from the Zi Family of the Northern Desert. A Noble Lord Realm warrior from that land would be considered a powerful warrior. Lu Li remembered that he met Zi Lian several years ago. Back then, Zi Lian had just reached the Noble Lord Realm.
"Are you sure that she is at the Earth Immortal Realm?"
Lu Li still found it hard to believe. Over the years, he had come across so many miraculous encounters and had so many resources. He had gone through so much trouble to reach the Earth Immortal Realm.
Now, all of a sudden, he heard that a girl who was not particularly talented, didn't have many resources and didn't have a family to rely on had caught up to his realm. How could he not be shocked?
"Ha, ha, you can find out for yourself later."
Bai Xiashuang said with a smile. A moment later, she squinted her eyes and whispered to Lu Li, "Darling, I heard that Zi Lian once pursued you?
You turned her down. Is it because she broke up? Is it because she cultivated so hard that her realm soared?
I heard that she has learned a powerful Profound Meaning — the Profound Meaning of Destruction! "
"Eh..."
Lu Li was taken aback. He shook his head with a bitter smile. He and Zi Lian were just friends. He never thought of becoming lovers. Or … he did not have many feelings for Zi Lian. They could not be lovers.
He already had three talented girls. He didn't want to be burdened with more love debts.
While he was thinking, they arrived at the base camp. Lu Li flew into the valley. Out of instinct, he used psychic power and soon found Zi Lian in a yard.
In that small courtyard, Zi Lian, who was dressed in a yellow dress, was leisurely sipping tea and playing with a chess piece in her hand.
She seemed to have sensed Lu Li's psychic power. She looked over. Her eyes were like stars in the night sky, as beautiful as a lotus.
"Earth Immortal Realm!"
