After discussing the meeting with Elder Bo Yan and the others, Chu Liuyue directly returned to Fengmin Mountain and entered the pagoda again. This time, her reason was very simple—to let her body recuperate.

The thousand-year cold jade bed on the second floor had extremely good effects in recuperating one’s body. Seeing her come back, Elder Meng naturally thought that she came for this and directly agreed without much thinking.

Originally, Elder Bo Yan and the rest were rather hesitant. But after seeing that Elder Meng had quite a good attitude toward her, they were relieved.

They could roughly tell by now that Chu Liuyue wasn’t being punished by going to Fengmin Mountain.

With Elder Meng taking care of her, the rest wasn’t worth a mention.

However, Rong Xiu didn’t follow her back and went straight to Jiuheng Peak. Nobody knew what he was busy with.

…

The surroundings were completely silent.

Chu Liuyue sat down cross-legged on the thousand-year cold jade bed with her eyes tightly shut as she quietly cultivated.

She could even clearly hear her own heartbeat.

The surrounding force kept entering her body and spread toward her limbs and bones after spinning one round in her water droplet. The force strengthened her bones and muscles bit by bit.

The previous injuries she suffered due to her failure in breaking through were recovering gradually.

Her body was originally strong, and her recovery power was shocking. If it were someone else, the injuries sustained under such circumstances would only completely recover after at least two or three months.

But for her, she was already much better in just a mere few days. Of course, this was also due to Rong Xiu’s help.

As Chu Liuyue cultivated, she silently recounted the recent events in her heart. Black Demon Hole and I have no interactions, and the only connection we have is that strange soul. That soul is the one that was in Shangguan Wan’s body. That person was indeed from the Black Demon Hole, but after we faced off outside Fangzhou City, he had also personally admitted that he had left Black Demon Hole. He currently has no relation to Black Demon Hole at all, so where did this rumor come from? 

The thing that Chu Liuyue cared about most was the Heavenly Square Cauldron. Back then, I obtained the Heavenly Square Cauldron in Country Yao Chen, and not many people knew about this. I knew that this item wasn’t simple, so I was very meticulous all along and didn’t really dare bring it out. Even in the Flood-Desert Northern Region previously, I didn’t present the true Heavenly Square Cauldron. Then… who was the one who spread this matter? 

Chu Liuyue couldn’t figure it out.

If I can’t figure it out, I won’t think about it anymore. After feeling conflicted for a while, Chu Liuyue swiftly gave up. Anyway, no matter what, everything will be revealed in Fangzhou City a few days later! Now, the most important thing is to strengthen my capabilities quickly! Beginner stage-nine warrior… That’s an easy death in front of those people. 

In the God Residence Realm, the strong were respected. Every improvement in cultivation realm would allow one’s strength to increase.

If she didn’t improve, it would be as easy as ABC for the other party to squash her. However, only less than three days were left. It was indeed… too difficult to make a breakthrough at this point.

I have to try even if it is hard! Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and was determined. The next moment, she gathered the force in her body and rushed it toward her dantian!

…

“Sigh… I’m afraid the girl has forgotten about me…” On the top floor, Elder Meng leaned against the chair lazily. As he held his head with one hand, the other hand lazily flung the dust.

That door still floated in front of him quietly.

Ever since he detected that the item inside was wavering and wanted to rush out, Elder Meng started suspecting that the girl was about to come back. But after much waiting, he didn’t hear any news at all.

He started to waver slowly. Was I… wrong? And for some reason, that item hasn’t moved much these two days. 

Elder Meng sighed deeply. In the beginning, I didn’t plan on helping. However, that girl kept wearing me down, and I accepted this hot potato. This item… I’ve spent a lot of effort on it!

Elder Meng was immersed in his memory when his gaze suddenly focused, and he swiftly got up! Then, he walked to the stairs and looked down.

The layers of stairs overlapped, and one couldn’t clearly see the situation below from here. However, the entire pagoda was in Elder Meng’s control, so he could accurately know what was going on below!

“This kid is actually trying to break through again?!” muttered Elder Meng in disbelief. Crazy! He’s really crazy! How many days has it been since he failed in his breakthrough? That kid hasn’t fully recovered yet, right?! However, he’s trying it again?! 

Elder Meng’s figure flashed, and he rushed to the second floor.

…

The lower he went, the more he could feel the change in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Force.

The force in the space seemed to be guided by something, and it all gathered on the second floor.

Without taking a close look, Elder Meng knew that it was where Chu Yue was currently, and all of the Heaven and Earth Force was clearly going toward that kid.

Elder Meng stopped at the corner of the stairs on the third floor. From here, he could see Chu Yue cultivating on the second floor.

That young man sat quietly, and his shoulders drooped naturally. He had his hands on his knees with his palms facing up. His eyes were closed, and the faint light reflected his clear porcelain-white face in a seemingly dreamy manner.

Elder Meng held the stair banister tightly, and his brows furrowed deeply. He felt very conflicted. Chu Yue has clearly entered the stage of preparing to break through now. It wouldn’t be good if he is suddenly interrupted again! I can only wait! 

Feeling the moving force in the surroundings, Elder Meng grinded his teeth. This kid… is too gutsy! All these years, I have never seen someone trying to break through twice continuously in such a short amount of time and succeed! He is courting death!
