Chapter 249 Chu Lingchuan Breaks Through to the Nascent Soul Stage
At first, Gao Huohuo was full of expectations that he could easily obtain information about exorcising evil spirits.
But now, reality has dealt her a heavy blow, leaving her somewhat frustrated.
With Zhong Hanshang gone, the team's greatest fighting force became Senior Brother Chu Lingchuan.
Looking at the two injured people beside him, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Whether they can escape unscathed if they encounter a formidable enemy remains to be seen.
She had planned to go out and find Zhong Hanshang on her own, but her senior brothers firmly disagreed.
With her current cultivation level of the first stage of the Golden Core realm, she would indeed have trouble even protecting herself in Tianyou Ridge.
In case Zhong Hanshang returned and couldn't find them, Chu Lingchuan made a quick decision to set up camp nearby.
Previously, he had tried to contact Zhong Hanshang through supernatural means, but had never received a response.
It's unclear whether he lost his supernatural powers or fell without realizing it.
Mu Hanxing and Zhao Feiyue quickly set up a defensive formation in advance.
With the situation urgent, Chu Lingchuan didn't care whether he was fully prepared and planned to directly attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Gao Huohuo understood that it was quite difficult for his senior brother to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
But given the current situation, they have no other choice but to try it ahead of time.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Huohuo handed over all the magic beads in her storage bag to her senior brother.
He handed over some more elixirs and encouraged him, "Senior Brother, just do your best, but I believe you will succeed."
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Chu Lingchuan felt a warm glow in his heart, filled with gratitude.
But the second half of the sentence made him feel both amused and exasperated; there was really no need to be so blindly optimistic.
However, seeing that his junior sister was still the same as before, he felt much more at ease.
In Chu Lingchuan's heart, their junior sister was so outstanding that she would be more than capable of being with anyone.
No one can affect Junior Sister's Dao Heart, not even Zhong Hanshang or Jing.
Whether you're human or demon doesn't matter; the key is to genuinely treat your junior sister well.
Otherwise, as the senior disciple, he would definitely not let it go easily.
Thinking of this, Chu Lingchuan took the things handed to him by his junior sister, took a deep breath, and entered the crucial stage of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Mu Hanxing and the others also wanted to contribute their own resources to provide support, but Chu Lingchuan stopped them.
They are all at the late Nascent Soul stage; leaving these resources behind will allow them to improve their cultivation level as quickly as possible.
However, the junior sister's situation is special. There is no specific thing to replenish her soul, so it will be difficult for her to recover in a short time.
Therefore, Chu Lingchuan only accepted Gao Huohuo's gift.
He thought that once he became a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would be able to better protect everyone.
Chu Lingchuan glanced at Mu Hanxing, Su Mo, and Zhao Feiyue one last time before focusing intently on his arduous journey to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Mu Hanxing and Zhao Feiyue worked in perfect harmony, controlling the formation with all their might.
They carefully designated a quiet and safe area for Chu Lingchuan to ensure that he would not be disturbed by the outside world during the impact.
Su Mo's expression was cold and his eyes were like torches as he stared intently at the remaining Su Ruoyun and Jing Hedong, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Gao Huohuo knew that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was a momentous event, and the slightest mistake could lead to annihilation. He immediately summoned Ziying and Hanguang.
In an instant, a dazzling light shone, and the two semi-divine artifacts exuded a unique aura, causing Jing Hedong to widen his eyes in astonishment.
They never imagined that this seemingly weak human female cultivator actually possessed two semi-divine artifacts.
Recalling the terrible state of Gao Huohuo after being injured by Po Xie, they couldn't help but think to themselves that perhaps it was these two semi-divine artifacts that allowed her to escape death in that calamity, but her cultivation level dropped significantly.
"I wonder how Huo Huo's two semi-divine artifacts compare to the Evil-Slaying Artifact?"
Jing muttered to herself unconsciously, her voice soft, but Su Ruoyun, who was sitting next to her, caught it.
Su Ruoyun's heart stirred, and the memory of Gao Huohuo being injured by Po Xie flashed through her mind. So she inquired about Po Xie from Jing:
"Jing, do you know who took this evil-repelling spell?"
Upon hearing Su Ruoyun mention the exorcism technique, Jing's heart tightened, and he became immediately on guard.
Why is this human female cultivator also interested in exorcising evil spirits?
Gao Huohuo inquired because he had suffered greatly from it, but what was Su Ruoyun's purpose?
Could it be that she traveled all the way to the Demon Realm just to break the evil spirits?
Jing harbored many doubts, but showed none of them, simply responding calmly:
"I don't know, but Miss Huo Huo should know, since her cultivation level dropped because of breaking the evil."
Upon hearing Jing mention his name, Gao Huohuo immediately came over.
However, her attention remained firmly fixed on her senior brother, Chu Lingchuan.
The process of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. Once it is interfered with, the consequences will be unimaginable, an irreversible and enormous disaster.
"What's wrong, Jing? I heard you calling my name. Are you feeling unwell?" Gao Huohuo asked with concern.
Jing gently shook her head, a fleeting hint of tenderness crossing her face before she regained her usual composure.
A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed a perfectly timed smile:
"I'm fine. It was Miss Su who wanted to know about the Exorcism situation, which is why I mentioned you."
Upon hearing that Su Ruoyun also wanted to inquire about Po Xie's situation, Gao Huohuo had a sudden thought.
But she remained calm and composed, saying:
"Speaking of which, the Demon-Slaying Staff, as a sacred artifact of the Demon Clan, is actually shaped like a spiked club. I was really surprised when I first saw it."
Upon hearing Gao Huohuo's words, Su Ruoyun's expression froze instantly.
However, she reacted very quickly and soon returned to normal.
It's a spiked club!
Su Ruoyun was secretly annoyed. No wonder she had searched everywhere without finding anything. It seemed she had looked in the wrong direction.
She knew Gao Huohuo's previous strength well; the fact that she could injure Gao Huohuo to such an extent meant that the power of the Evil-Slaying Technique was beyond imagination.
In her opinion, Gao Huohuo's cultivation level should have been close to reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
After all, apart from Zhong Hanshang, who was the chosen one, Gao Huohuo was one of the most talented and skilled people she had ever met.
Little did Su Ruoyun know that if she had known that Gao Huohuo had already reached the Nascent Soul stage before, her thoughts would probably have changed drastically.
Perhaps she will immediately shift her focus and stop fixating on Zhong Hanshang.
"When I first learned what Po Xie looked like, I was quite shocked."
Who would have thought that our demon race's sacred artifact would look like that?
Compared to your two magical artifacts, Miss Huo Huo, they're far inferior; they're not pretty at all.
Jing shook her head slightly, her words filled with emotion.
Gao Huohuo smiled and thought to himself: I'm really sorry.
Regardless of whether these semi-divine artifacts are good-looking or not, they are now truly mine.
Fortunately, only her senior brothers and sisters and Zhong Hanshang knew about this, otherwise she would have been in danger.
If Zhong Hanshang knew how much Gao Huohuo trusted him, he would probably be very happy.
