She was determined to enhance her cultivation swiftly, not solely due to the impending competition, but because she harbored a fervent desire to enter the mystical realm and exact her revenge.
This occasion…
Upon returning to her personal chamber, a sanctuary from external disturbances.
Feihuai and An Ge were exceptionally considerate individuals. They understood her inclination for solitude and tranquility, abstaining from disrupting her unless instructed otherwise.
Yet…
They diligently maintained the courtyard’s order. Anticipating her preferences, they stocked her room with steaming tea and delectable snacks, preserving the remaining spaces in immaculate order.
As for the matter of tea…
Ever since an incident befell Huaijin.
Consequently, her tea consumption had waned.
Tea demanded both time and a suitable frame of mind.
Of which she had neither at present.
A sigh escaped her lips as she relinquished the tea.
Retreating into her private space, she embarked on the creation of elixirs.
Lately, her interactions with Huang Fu had dwindled.
Observing his absence, Gu Chaoyan directed her focus towards crafting pills.
Her alchemical endeavors boasted an impressively high success rate—eight out of ten pills were consistently efficacious. Over the span of two days and nights, she accumulated more than 30 pills, each exuding a potent aroma, decidedly ample.
Emerging from her secluded enclave, she ingested the pills directly.
Subsequently, she commenced her cultivation.
Internal and external currents of spiritual energy coursed through her being.
Yet, every attempt to breach the confining barrier resulted in forceful repulsion.
In a final bid, she even ingested ten pills directly.
Nevertheless, when she neared the point of breaking through the barrier, she encountered the same resilient bounce-back.
A grave expression settled upon Gu Chaoyan’s features, signaling her impending defeat in this endeavor.
Could the obstruction truly be linked to her spiritual roots?
Just as she contemplated departing, an abrupt surge of heat enveloped her entire body, akin to an inferno’s embrace. Puzzlement washed over her—what was transpiring?
Could it be the Phoenix fire?
Within the repository of knowledge in her spatial sanctuary, she had come across accounts of this ability.
However…
Mastery of such abilities typically eluded those with exceedingly elevated cultivation levels or remarkably rare spiritual roots.
But how had she managed it?
In this perplexing juncture, she unlocked the secrets of the Phoenix fire.
Testing it once more, Gu Chaoyan confirmed the newfound skill’s authenticity.
Although she hadn’t yet ascended to the Paragon tier, acquiring the Phoenix fire skill proved to be a serendipitous gain.
During this interval, a stroke of fortune graced her existence.
Basking in this felicitous mood, Gu Chaoyan unsealed her eyes.
Upon doing so, an awareness prickled at her senses—an assembly of individuals congregated outside her chamber.
Bafflement gripped her: What could be the cause of this commotion?
Gu Chaoyan poised herself to grasp the white jade sword..
Abruptly, Elder Lin materialized along with a few other Elders. “It is us!” Under these circumstances, Gu Chaoyan’s capacity to discern individuals was remarkable. These figures were all Paragon-level cultivators, indicating their keen vigilance—surpassing that of numerous disciples even at the Paragon level.
However…
A pang of regret enveloped them for this disciple.
With a more auspicious Spiritual Root, her potential would undoubtedly have soared. Yet, the True Spiritual Root…
Upon their recent arrival, they perceived her on the cusp of a breakthrough. Elder Lin had yearned to witness this pivotal moment firsthand. Yet, as she stood on the precipice of the breakthrough, the radiance dissipated, and the attempt floundered.
As if ordained by fate.
Elder Lin’s heart ached at this missed opportunity.
The fervent wish lingered that this disciple could one day attain Paragon status.
It was such a waste for her to be stuck at Martial God’s level for the rest of her life!
