Invisible pressure was accusing the place, with Juxi's energy being depleted significantly every period of time.
Moreover, it was getting late, finding a safe spot outside at this hour would just be adding insult to injury.
As midnight approached, their room was the only one brightly lit in the entire building, with other areas shrouded in a silent black mist.
Tap, tap, tap...
Just as Juxi was deciding to endure the night and await dawn, urgent footsteps could be heard in the distance, and Juxi's first reaction was — someone!
"Who's there?!" Juxi grunted, then quickly turned his head to look at the woman with a somewhat annoyed face, "It's you?!"
"Nonsense!"
Yukari had been silent throughout, merely nodding along.
It was Juxi who kept chattering in Yukari's ear about how unfair their master was to him, as if the master was always picking on him on purpose... or could it be that the master was just too biased towards him?
"Just like last time, I just wanted to go play in the library..."
"Let's not bring up the past, you've said it more than once already!"
"Why can't I mention it? I got a good scolding from the master that time, but when you went there was no trouble at all."
"Well, it seems we need to talk, it appears you weren't just playing last time, right?"
"Uh, why are you mentioning that again...?"
Every time Juxi spoke, all she did was nod, but this time she actually replied, making him feel oddly victorious.
"What's wrong? Still not satisfied?"
"Nothing..."
"I say you're just being unreasonable, you need to grow up a bit!"
Yukari disliked Juxi this way, which was acknowledged by all the senior and junior brothers.
But for some reason, in her dislike for him, there was often a hint of animosity! Perhaps only Juxi was unaware of this fact?
Yukari clenched her fists, staring with a grim face at the still serene Juxi.
Her anger finally erupted completely!
"Grandpa... hmph, I still can't understand why he chose to pass it to you, why choose to pass it to someone like you!!"
"What? What do you mean our master wants to pass to me?" Juxi asked in confusion.
His power level was just average among the disciples, there was no reason for the master to pass it on to him, right?
...
"Master, I don't understand, why did you..."
"Spare me!!!" Master Han angrily rebuked, his hand trembling violently, "We can't afford to provoke that kid, do you know the strong ones in the Super Realm?"
"...Father, are you talking about him? No, this can't be..."
Su Rou still couldn't believe, but Master Han's face turned much paler!
"The young man in white who just called me may be even older than your grandfather."
"No way?!" Han Aier was also shocked this time, and she and Su Rou exclaimed in unison.
"Hmph, that guy's strength is at the Immortal level, even above, and my defenses in the Great Western State—won't work on him!"
...
Crossing the Tribulation was extremely dangerous, which is why many people in modern times couldn't break through this layer, crossing it nine times, and the chance was very slim, making it daunting for many.
Immortal sighed, "You're already very good, looking across the desolate mainland, you're probably the first to reach the Boundless Realm in your early twenties!"
Only those freaks in the Super Realms would appear like him, but those guys seemed uninterested in the disputes on the mainland, otherwise, the Four Pavilions wouldn't have a say here!
"Hehe, but those super powerful beings in the Super Realms aren't something you can surpass easily," Immortal smiled, "The Divine Realm experts are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns on the mainland, but in the Super Realms, they're as common as fallen leaves."
"What?!" Yuanhui couldn't believe it.
Immortal's words seemed to be a bit too exaggerated, those were the mighty Divine Realm experts! If there were so many of them even at the Divine Realm level, wouldn't it be...
"Hehe, that's right!" he answered confidently, "There's no Immortal Emperor, but there are more than one or two monsters at the Refining Immortal and Immortal Saint levels."
"Hmm..." Yuanhui couldn't take Immortal's nonsense anymore, for him, it was either criticism or nothing.
"Whew~!"
At this point, Yuanhui had to stop this crazy cultivation. Even with the help of the divine pills, with the Eight Trigrams of Heaven and the current strength, he could only withstand a hundred soul tribulations in one day at most.
However, overall, this was a tenfold improvement compared to before, which was quite good.
Realizing this, Yuanhui felt relieved. Everything had its limits, even cultivation, and he understood that moderation was key.
After completing the tribulation, Yuanhui once again took out a book exuding a hint of Chi from his bracelet, which was the Virtual Reality Spell he bought at the auction.
There seemed to be some unreadable words on it, but Yuanhui could tell with a glance — this thing wasn't simple!
As Yuanhui's Chi infiltrated, a stream of information quickly emerged from the ancient book, which he promptly absorbed.
In the room, Yuanhui looked pensive. After a long time, a mental impact suddenly surged out from the Mud Pill Palace. In that moment, Lin Dong's mind moved, quickly controlling the mental shock wave and altering it to follow a specific frequency.
With the change in frequency, the invisible soul shock wave immediately transformed into a visible Chi shock.
This Chi shock wave was different from before - it not only took shape but was quite distinct!
Energy fluctuations gathered at the tip, visibly indicating significant offensive power.
The only drawback was that the form seemed too illusory, lacking substance. However, Yuanhui had just started to practice with this energy wave.
Reaching this level was already good, with further practice, it was bound to improve.
In the room, Yuanhui showed great interest in this "Chi wave," constantly dispersing and condensing it to become proficient in its peculiar frequency as quickly as possible.
Through this continuous and enjoyable training, the form of the "Chi wave" slowly solidified at a slow pace.
Over the next three days, Yuanhui hardly left his room, dedicating all his time to soul tribulation and mastering the newly acquired Virtual Reality Chi wave spell.
Certainly, this spell was not ordinary, perhaps not even the experts in the Great Western State were familiar with its origins.
"Since you don't know what it is, are you selling it cheap?" Yuanhui sneered.
A Virtual Reality spell, if one didn't know its secrets, would at least start at a bidding price of over a billion gold coins!
In just three days, Yuanhui's training reached a frenzied stage. Five precious divine pills were depleted by a third! Fortunately, the results of this consumption were significant; the fifth tribulation had been surpassed, leaving traces of impact even on the Refining Immortal realm.
Now Yuanhui's Chi Nebula had condensed and solidified into a physical form akin to a core. From within that core, Yuanhui could clearly feel a formidable force rapidly coalescing.
Moreover, a tiny group was faintly hidden within that core, signifying the peak of the Boundless Realm!!!
As for the "Chi wave," Yuanhui had also become quite skilled with it. Although he hadn't tested its power yet, it was surely stronger than the "Meteor Sword Technique," becoming a lethal move for Yuanhui!
...
Four days later, as the first rays of morning sunlight arrived, Yuanhui, who had restored his peak condition, slowly opened his eyes. A sharp gleam passed through his eyes, then dissipated into thin air.
"It's time to move!"
Yuanhui slowly leaped off the bed, as today was the day of the so-called "Immortal's Trap." Although he wasn't sure if Master Han of the Great Western State could defeat the other three pavilions, the miraculous effect of the "Immortal's Trap" intrigued him! If he could find a treasure inside, absorb some immortal energy, he might successfully step into the Refining Immortal realm in a very short time!
"Haha, I knew it, you little greedy brat!" Immortal laughed heartily, "My experience indeed has a spell suitable for your violent nature, but whether you can obtain it is another matter... Those juniors are underestimating my experience too much!"
Immortal's laughter had a dark edge, even mocking the old man.
At the Refining Immortal level, Immortal didn't put these experts in his eyes, so...
"Could it be?!"
"Yes, my grand formation can even kill Refining Immortal experts in seconds, let alone these Boundless youngsters," Immortal replied proudly.
Once he stepped into the Refining Immortal realm, with the assistance of his spiritual power, the threat previously posed by Wei Tong, who was challenging to him, would be non-existent, and even within the Flame City, he would certainly be able to protect himself!
Having experienced the crisis before, Yuanhui understood that in this world, you needed strength to protect yourself!
And it was precisely because of this that he had agreed to the scoundrels' proposal, taking up a spot to fight for the "Immortal's Trap" on their behalf.
Yukari clutched her fists and stared at Juxi with a sullen expression.
Her anger finally burst out!
"Hmph...I still don't understand why my grandpa will leave his legacy to you!"
"What?what legacy you are talking about?"Juxi didn't understand.
His strength is just average, why the master left his leagcy to him?
