Chapter 88 Heavenly Dao, that stingy bastard!
The little spider thought for a while, rubbed its legs, and used the force of its web to fly to the very top of the tree.
The giant Nascent Soul stage spider was feeding over there. Lan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and flew over with the little spider.
However, the little spider that flew to the top of the tree quickly disappeared. Lan Yue searched carefully and finally found a hole in the trunk of the towering ancient tree.
Anyway, the spider father over there didn't ask them anything, so Lan Yue boldly followed the little spider inside.
The tree hollow was just big enough for one person, but it got narrower and narrower as she went further in, so she had to walk through it by bending over, and eventually she had to crawl.
It's okay. No pain, no gain. Anything that the little spider has its eye on must be a real treasure!
Fortunately, Yin Xue was there to accompany her, so Lan Yue wasn't too scared.
Outside the ruins, a group of elders looked at each other in bewilderment.
Elder Wan, especially, from the sacred land of Beiling, was utterly dumbfounded.
"What happened? Why did that fifth-tier Nascent Soul stage demon beast let everyone go?" Elder Wan wasn't as worried as other sects, because he knew that Xingzhou had a trump card.
If all else fails, even if the mission isn't completed, Xingzhou will still lead his men out.
When he saw this late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast, he felt that the mission was probably impossible to complete and he would have to wait for another opportunity.
He was ready to watch Xingzhou use the Sky-Mending Stone to leave with the others, but in the blink of an eye, the situation completely changed.
What did he miss? Could it be that the water screen wasn't receiving the live feed?
Seeing Elder Wan's shocked expression, the elders of the Nanlin Sect remained calm and showed no reaction, as if it were just a trivial matter.
However, they were secretly communicating with each other in private.
"Did Lan Yue secretly gossip again and find out something about that late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast, which is why the Xuan Tian Black Spider released everyone else?" the Fifth Elder speculated.
He was sure that was the case, after all, little Lan Yue was always watching the drama unfold.
"That's how it should be." The Second Elder hadn't expected it either.
He had just planned to forcefully break open the ruins with the elders to rescue the disciples inside.
If that happens, the forces inside the ruins will become alert, and they will completely lose contact with the ruins.
Who knew Lan Yue and the others would have such a surprise.
"What is Lan Yue up to now?" The Crimson Moon Sect Master watched as Lan Yue disappeared into the cave, and then the entire water curtain was plunged into darkness.
"She might try to escape, since she's the only one left."
People outside cannot hear the sounds coming from inside the ruins, so they can only guess.
"Our Northern Ridge Holy Land owes your Southern Ridge Sect a favor. When this child is born, I will personally thank her," Elder Wan sighed.
Even if you don't believe it, this child still saved the disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Land, giving them a higher chance of completing the mission.
"What's the use of just saying thank you? You need to show some sincerity." The Fifth Elder stroked his beard.
"Of course, we have to show our sincerity. I will personally deliver it to her and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
Of course, he also hoped that the child would successfully emerge from the ruins.
However, it now appears that the little girl is in a very dangerous situation.
"That's good." The Fifth Elder nodded in satisfaction.
As for Lan Yue's safety, he wasn't too worried. After all, she was a child who possessed a celestial artifact, and the Silver Snow Ancient Sword was right beside her.
However, the water screen on Lan Yue's side had already fallen into darkness, so they had to check the images of the other people.
…
[Yin Xue: There seems to be nothing in front of us.]
Lan Yue paused. Could it be that she really couldn't find any bargains?
[Yin Xue: No, something's not right about the fluctuations ahead. It seems like there's space...]
Before Yin Xue could finish speaking, Lan Yue felt herself falling downwards, and then she fell into some kind of tunnel.
Holy crap, is she going to pull a fast one this time?
Could it be that the late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast was so angry that it secretly resorted to underhanded tactics?
Lan Yue's mind was filled with random thoughts, and soon everything went black before her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw a lush green space.
Many fluorescent clusters floated above this lush green space, like fireflies dancing in the summer night.
Even without deliberately sensing it, Lan Yue could see one after another cluster of spiritual light swaying back and forth.
"What are these?" Forgive her for being so clueless; she had no idea what these things were.
"Wood Spirit Qi, this is the Wood Spirit Qi accumulated within the body of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit tree. Each wisp is extremely precious, a spiritual item needed for Nascent Soul formation and breakthrough to Deity Transformation. You've struck gold, kid. Hurry up and collect all these spiritual items before the Xuan Tian Black Spider outside reacts," the system suddenly said.
"Actually, I feel like these things are useless to me. Can't I improve my cultivation by just eating melons?" Lan Yue scratched her head.
She thought that simply eating melons could improve her cultivation level, so these things wouldn't actually be of much use to her.
System: "It has a great effect, how could it be useless? The melon seeds you accumulate by eating melons can indeed improve your cultivation, but they can't help you break through to a higher realm."
"For example, your Foundation Establishment this time was an insight you gained from fighting against demonic beasts. You can't achieve Foundation Establishment just by watching others play. Watching others play can only raise your cultivation to the peak of your current realm."
"If you accumulate enough melon seeds, you can instantly reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, but you still need to do it yourself to reach Core Formation. This is a process of comprehending the Dao of Heaven, and also a process of you getting used to the world."
"I understand. If I accumulate enough melon seeds, I can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop, or even ascend directly. I still need to work hard to build a stepping stone with those spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, right?"
"Then what are we waiting for?" Lan Yue pounced forward, intending to catch all the fluorescent orbs flying in the air.
These insights turned out to be as slippery as eels, impossible to grasp no matter how hard Lan Yue tried. Sometimes, even when she managed to grab them with all her might, they would quickly disappear.
"Spiritual objects from heaven and earth need to be preserved using special methods. You can catch them and I'll store them for you for now. When you get back, you must find Yuan Shuo to refine a batch of jade boxes for future use," the system reminded you.
"I will definitely remember, because this is related to whether I can lie down happily in the future!" Lan Yue nodded.
The second time she caught it, she was much faster because the system quickly took it in, having gained experience.
Finally, Lan Yue collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. She took two Qi-replenishing pills and stood up again.
"I have another question. Since I need to do both Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation myself, will I encounter inner demons when I break through to a higher realm?"
When Lan Yue was reading the original work, she saw that many people failed when they tried to break through their cultivation levels because of the arising of inner demons. Some even fell from their cultivation levels, and some even went so far as to suffer a cultivation deviation.
"This is the process of comprehending the Dao, and naturally you need to experience inner demons. Moreover, your inner demons may be more severe than those of a normal person," the system said solemnly.
"After all, we came here illegally, which is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Your soul has not been completely stabilized yet, so you often encounter problems when flying on a sword."
Lan Yue: "!!!!"
"So all this time I've been stumbling around trying to learn how to fly on a sword because of some cruel twist of fate! It's so unfair!" She was furious.
"No..." The system was about to warn, but it was too late.
Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded outside, but because of the ruins, the thunder was much weaker.
Even the elders outside the ruins were startled, for they too witnessed a terrifying purple bolt of lightning striking the sea.
"Could it be that a spiritual treasure has been born?" an elder of the Qing Shi Sect speculated, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
"There is another possibility: someone did something bad and was struck by lightning." The Second Elder's tone was inscrutable.
The elder of the Qing Shi Sect opposite him choked.
Inside the ruins, Lan Yue was still shaken.
"It's just a sentence, why are you making such a fuss about it?"
The system in my mind had already jumped up.
"Lan Yue, we're smuggling ourselves in! Smuggling ourselves in! We absolutely mustn't offend the Heavenly Dao again!"
Lan Yue quickly shut her mouth.
Okay, they're smuggling themselves in, so let them be a little guilty. We'll just play it safe and develop our strength stealthily.
