Chapter 255 (2/2)

But the Zither Empress suddenly decreed that n.o.body should disturb Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation, forcing all the elders to calm down. Even so, many of them had committed the name ”Xiang Shaoyun” into their memories when they realized that he was actually related to the Zither Empress as well.

Today, Xiang Shaoyun dragged his terribly injured body back to his own estate, looking extremely sorry. He had succeeded in clearing the first two limit rooms on the first day itself, but the third limit room had taken him half a month to clear. Of course, he had also made great gains from clearing the third room as well.

Apart from an increase in strength, his combat prowess and strength control had been greatly tempered as well.

The third room is utter madness. One has to be at least a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator to stand a chance at clearing the room. If it wasn't for my Nether Soul Domain, I would have failed as well, thought Xiang Shaoyun as he still felt some lingering fear when he recalled his experience in the third room.

The third room was formed of illusionary formations that could not only fool one's eyes but also disturb one's soul. Additionally, puppets at and above third-stage King Realm were also in the room, working in tandem with the formations to attack the challenger.

In other words, when an ordinary cultivator entered the room, they would be immediately trapped in illusion and attacked by the puppets. Even fourth-stage—or even fifth-stage—Skysoar Realm cultivators would have a hard time clearing that room.

Xiang Shaoyun was only able to clear it by relying on his Nether Soul Domain to see through the room's essence. Even so, the puppets had still badly beaten him up. He was lucky to have been able to survive.

As for the contribution points that he had earned after clearing the rooms, he did not care about them. The first thing he did after returning was give them to Long Hui, who would be managing them on his behalf. Just as he was about to treat his injuries, a silhouette appeared noiselessly in his estate.

”Big sister, why are you here?” asked Xiang Shaoyun when he noticed who the newcomer was.

The newcomer was none other than the Zither Empress, Hua Cheng.

She was dressed in a light muslin outfit that perfectly accentuated her flawless figure. With a look of heartache on her face, she reprimanded, ”Are you trying to die? Why are you forcing yourself so much? Take this healing pill first before saying anything else.”

The endlessly elegant woman arrived before Xiang Shaoyun and handed him a high-tier healing pill. Xiang Shaoyun did not bother being courteous and accepted the pill before tossing it into his mouth. Different from the healing pill the elder at the limit room had given him, this pill contained a boundless and pure energy. It had a much better healing efficacy.

While refining the pill, Xiang Shaoyun asked, ”Big sister, so what are you doing here?”

”What? Can't I visit my little brother? It's not like you will ever come visit me. Looks like you don't even remember you have a big sister anymore,” grumbled Hua Cheng resentfully.

”Haha, how is that possible? If you aren't staying in a forbidden zone, your little brother will visit you every single day,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a hearty laugh.

”Flippant and insincere!” said Hua Cheng as she rolled her eyes. She paused for a bit before she said seriously, ”This time, your big sister needs your help with something.”
