Chapter 734: There is a gap between the tribulations

The Ten Thousand Demons Hall has quite a lot of sixiang xuanhuang jade.

The Ten Thousand Demons Hall even mines it.

But the piece Su Bai held…

It was unheard of, unseen.

“Is this sixiang xuanhuang jade? Not some Void Realm xuanhuang jade? Chaos xuanhuang jade?”

Lian Gaoyuan simply couldn't imagine that the reason for Su Bai’s rapid Cultivation was very simple and crude.

But Su Bai wouldn't explain.

Showing him the sixiang xuanhuang jade was already enough.

Su Bai put away the jade.

“Alright, Fellow Daoist Lian, it’s time to complete the mission. Fellow Daoist Nan Jin brought us out here not for us to chat idly.”

After speaking, she no longer stood still.

She turned and flew towards the west.

Lian Gaoyuan watched Su Bai’s departing back and put away his Overlord Spear.

“Alas, this is not a resource I can obtain.”

That piece of sixiang xuanhuang jade Su Bai took out, if it hadn't been personally taken out by Su Bai and he had seen it,

If he had only heard people say such a thing existed, he definitely wouldn't have believed it.

The Xuan Huang Qi was so rich that it could be said to increase one’s Cultivation many, many times more than absorbing ordinary Spiritual Qi during Cultivation!

The time that could be saved in Cultivation was simply unimaginable.

Moreover, Su Bai definitely wouldn't be short of similar Heaven And Earth Treasure in her hands.

If one were to guess this way, Su Bai’s rapid Cultivation seemed to have a traceable path.

It's just that Su Bai certainly wouldn't take out whatever else she had.

The Zhuiyang Forbidden Area was resolved very quickly.

Originally, within Su Nan Jin’s expectations, she had planned to spend about five hundred years here, intending to thoroughly resolve Lun Ri Zunzhe (Sun Wheel Venerable) and the Zhuiyang Forbidden Area, paving the way for the Formation to be set up in the Human Race Realm later.

But she hadn't expected Su Bai’s strength to be somewhat surprising.

From arrival to conclusion, it took a total of over a month.

The Zhuiyang Forbidden Area disappeared just like that.

… …

There are quite a few Forbidden Areas in the Human Race Realm.

This time, Su Nan Jin planned to clear three Forbidden Areas.

Combined, in her original idea, if they could all be resolved within five thousand years, then the arrangement of the Formation would not be delayed.

The existence of the latter two Forbidden Areas did not involve the presence of ancient mighty figures.

One was merely an ancient battlefield, with lingering Battle Intent that would indiscriminately attack all Cultivators who entered.

The other was where an ancient Cultivator had fallen, and the Spiritual Qi in his body had dispersed, completely changing the surrounding environment.

However, with Su Bai present, they were all resolved relatively easily.

For the Battle Intent in the ancient battlefield, Su Bai directly used her Sword Intent to attack, and then dispersed the Sword Intent she left behind to resolve it.

As for the place where the ancient Cultivator fell, this Cultivator did not Cultivate as a ghost Cultivator, but the entire land seemed as if that Cultivator's Cultivation was still alive, resisting Cultivators who came there.

Since the previous two Forbidden Areas were resolved by Su Bai, she naturally left the last one to Su Nan Jin and Lian Gaoyuan.

Otherwise, if the two of them came along and did nothing, it would be like a tour, wouldn't it?

Su Nan Jin, holding a delicate ball, stood in the air, looking at the Forbidden Area ahead, and said to Lian Gaoyuan:

“Senior Lian, I will act to stir up the Qi mechanism of this place, making the Forbidden Area active. When the Forbidden Area attacks me, please Senior, cut off the Dragon Vein of the Forbidden Area.”

Su Bai stood on the ground, watching the two in the air begin to deal with the Forbidden Area.

When passing through the first two Forbidden Areas, Su Bai had also asked why the Formation had to pass through these places; if not, couldn't the Formation layout be changed to bypass them?

And Su Nan Jin’s answer was:

“These Forbidden Areas exist as nodes for the Formation.”

“We open the Forbidden Areas and cut off their Dragon Veins, but the geomantic energy of the land still exists. We can use this to make the Formation more complex and difficult to break through.”

“…”

Su Bai had not seen what the Formation Su Nan Jin spoke of looked like.

And she couldn't guess the function of the Formation based only on the locations of the Forbidden Areas.

So she could only listen to Su Nan Jin.

As Su Nan Jin took action, the Forbidden Area before them seemed to truly revive like a Cultivator, beginning to resist.

A surge of Qi rose within the Forbidden Area.

That vast Qi swirled in the air, constantly transforming into various shapes.

For a moment, it became a tiger, then transformed into a Dragon, and then became a Cultivator with a blurry face.

Finally, it transformed into a half-decayed skeleton, roaring silently at Su Nan Jin with a ferocious expression.

When the Forbidden Area attacked Su Nan Jin, Lian Gaoyuan was already prepared.

He was seen fiercely throwing the long spear in his hand towards the Forbidden Area.

Then his entire body transformed into a black light and rushed into the Forbidden Area.

… …

Three hundred years later.

The three returned to the Spiritual Domain.

Su Bai looked at the two somewhat disheveled Heavenly Venerables beside her.

Su Nan Jin’s eyes were slightly dim, and her expression was a bit tired.

Lian Gaoyuan’s lips were slightly pale, clearly indicating that his body was not in very good health.

Of these two, Su Nan Jin was fine outside the Forbidden Area, just a bit exhausted, and would be fine after a few days of rest.

But Lian Gaoyuan had directly charged into the Forbidden Area, confronting the entire Forbidden Area head-on, sustaining some minor injuries that would likely not heal for several decades.

Standing at the entrance of the Spiritual Domain, Su Nan Jin cupped her hands towards Su Bai and Lian Gaoyuan, saying:

“Thank you both for accompanying me on this mission, Senior Lian, I will retrieve some Spirit Medicine from the Dan Tower and send it to you shortly.”

“Mm.”

Lian Gaoyuan only hummed in response before directly entering the Spiritual Domain.

Clearly, he had no intention of continuing the conversation.

After all, Su Bai, who was in the same Realm as him, single-handedly easily resolved two Forbidden Areas.

He and Su Nan Jin, working together, spent three hundred years to resolve one Forbidden Area, and he even got injured!

Watching Lian Gaoyuan leave, Su Nan Jin looked at Su Bai and smiled awkwardly.

Actually, Su Bai had asked if they needed help when the two were in a bitter struggle.

But this instead stimulated Lian Gaoyuan.

Lian Gaoyuan refused Su Bai’s help, choosing to fight to the end.

“Sorry, Senior Bai, Senior Lian is just a bit disheartened.”

Su Bai shook her head indifferently.

“It’s fine, I won’t prick his pitiful self-esteem. Well, Fellow Daoist Nan Jin, let’s talk again next time there’s a mission.”

“Mm, goodbye, Senior.”

Su Bai didn't pay much attention to Lian Gaoyuan’s state.

She only thought that she had spent three hundred years 'playing' outside with them.

And she had learned the approximate strength of a normal Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

She had watched Lian Gaoyuan fight for a full three hundred years.

She had analyzed all of his Cultivation Technique and various methods.

“Youzhi’s Cultivation Technique when she was the Saintess of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall was the same as Lian Gaoyuan’s, right…?”

Then Lian Youzhi’s future level probably wouldn't be much higher than Lian Gaoyuan’s.

“I’ve already gathered the Hundred Spirit Body; the Thousand Spirit Body still needs some time to deduce. I can let them Cultivate first for now, which will at least increase some temporary Battle Intent.”

After separating from Su Nan Jin, Su Bai began to consider how to make those around her Cultivate faster and Breakthrough to higher Realms.

The Undergoing Tribulation Realm indeed has a threshold.

Currently, Su Bai truly doesn't know of anything that can assist and increase the success rate of Breakthrough.

Even Medicinal Pills for Breakthrough can at most increase the success rate by ten percent.
