Chapter 583: Extremely Dangerous
“Just a little more.” Ling Chuxi felt like she was close to being promoted into the realm of True Essence.
Mo Kongyuan had been waiting to watch Xie Wuji make a fool of himself, but seeing this situation, he could not help but gape in astonishment.
How much cold and gloomy qi had this brat released this time? It seemed like even the guardians were unable to handle it!
Watching them mess up was one thing, but Mo Kongyuan had never thought of letting the four of them die before him. He immediately rushed forward, preparing for battle.
The five guardians released their Qi of True Essence at the same time, retaliating against the cold and gloomy qi in Ling Chuxi’s body.
A ray of light suddenly flashed in the sky, and a musical hum rang out, resounding in their minds.
The endless whirlpool suddenly disappeared, and the guardians staggered backwards and fell onto the ground, looking at Ling Chuxi in bewilderment.
Abundant spiritual qi of heaven and earth flowed towards Ling Chuxi from all directions. It was so thick that it almost seemed to have an actual form, enclosing Ling Chuxi within it like a cocoon.
“She’s actually breaking through at a time like this!” Mo Kongyuan and the rest had already experienced such a situation before and naturally knew what it meant.
A wave of emotions swept over them. It had originally been a test for Ling Chuxi, and yet it had somehow changed into the five of them having to resist and balance the odd strength in her body, which had contributed to her breakthrough. Nobody could have ever predicted such an outcome.
There was a certain gratification in contributing to the promotion of an expert to the realm of True Essence, but seeing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth becoming increasingly thicker, their expressions changed.
This spiritual qi was thicker by more than a whole fold compared to when they were promoted back then!
When being promoted from the realm of Great Fulfilment to the realm of True Essence, one needed to integrate Battle Qi and Spiritual Qi to form the Qi of True Essence. The risks and dangers of that integration were no less than Heavenly Lightning Striking the Body.
They started to worry about Ling Chuxi. Would she be able to withstand such strong spiritual qi? Either way, there was nothing they could do to help.
Everything was up to Ling Chuxi at this point.
Ling Chuxi’s face contorted in pain as she was enclosed in the spiritual qi. Only when she personally experienced it did she know how difficult and dangerous it was to be promoted to the realm of True Essence.
Under the intense accumulation of Battle Qi and spiritual qi, her meridians split open and an agonizing pain overwhelmed her. Her entire body felt as if it was about to burst open.
‘Why hasn’t that real force of True Essence appeared?’ Though she was in great pain, Ling Chuxi’s mind was clear as she recalled the True Essence that Mo Shili had left for her to pass this difficult stage of promotion. Back then, it had also been that thread of True Essence that helped her cure Old Master Xiao, and her cultivation had rapidly increased because of it.
However, under the strong collision of the two qis, the real force of True Essence seemed to have been suppressed, its whereabouts unknown.
“No way. If this continues, there will only be one road left – death! I have to keep going!” Ling Chuxi gritted her teeth against the pain in her meridians and concentrated on the Mind Training Chant, searching for the location of the real force of True Essence.
Her meridians broke bit by bit, and finally they were only connected by a thin thread. If everything broke down completely, Ling Chuxi could become crippled. Blood oozed from the corner of her lips, making the guardians even more anxious.
Mo Kongyuan was so nervous that he was walking around in circles, while the rest watched fearfully. She had reached the border to the realm of True Essence, and had even surpassed their achievements in the past.
No one wished for Ling Chuxi to die when she had come this far.
