Chapter 414 - Significant Breakthroughs (2/2)
Xiao Chen looked at her and laughed. “Fairy Suyue, you are not willing to take a step out of the cave. If I also choose to stay in the cave, will neither of us go out?” In fact, he was a bit anxious. In previous, he had been detaining in the Devil Repressed Tower for one year. But soon after he got out, he was trapped again in this mystic domain for three months. So he didn’t know what it was like outside now.
Su Lianyue giggled. “Okay, with you here, I think we may as well go out when we become immortals. At that time, will everyone prostrate on the ground to worship us? Ye Wuxin can only be a piece of cake to us.”
Xiao Chen laughed and said, “I hope that you’d better think about some practical issues. Yesterday, I already felt that there was a strong wave of Mystic Power outside, and now it is almost July 7th. I am afraid that the Miasma Mountain Range is already very lively now.”
Covering her mouth, Su Lianyue smiled and said, “All right, all right! I was joking. We can go out several days later when we reach the Nirvana Realm. At that time, we can deal with Yi Yeqiu and Seven Killings with great ease. Beyond that, we may even defeat Ye Wuxin if you and I work together.”
“But Fairy Suyue, don’t you forget that the Annihilation Times has arrived, so they may even make greater progress in cultivation than you and me.”
Su Lianyue nodded. “That is true. But then again, The Annihilation Times should have arrived seven thousand years ago. However, it didn’t come until now. In your opinion, why is this?”
Xiao Chen smiled. “I am not from that era. How do I know the reason?”
“Oh? Really?” With this, Su Lianyue landed her beautiful watery eyes on him and then never looked away. Again, she asked, “Why do you think that the Annihilation Times would come all of a sudden without any signs?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. On that day, when he was in Xianyong Sect, Fengxi told him that the Annihilation Times came because the Natural Law that had no love intended to subvert the Samsara of all living things. Just when Xiao Chen heard this, he believed much more than he doubted. But now, he was even more skeptical about this statement than he believed it.
“In my opinion, Fairy Suyue, you’d better leave this meaningless topic there and try your best to reach the Nirvana Realm. I also need to make a breakthrough, so I’ll leave you alone here.” After he finished speaking, Xiao Chen turned around and walked to the other side of the forest. Both of them were prepared to get a breakthrough. Thus, they could not stay in the same place. The reason for this was self-evident.
“Master Xiao, wait!” Su Lianyue suddenly stopped him.
Xiao Chen turned around and said, “Anything else, Fairy Suyue?”
Su Lianyue looked at him, and said a moment later, “Well… When you are out of this cave, will you return to the Orthodox Path where you were before?”
After a moment’s silence, Xiao Chen said, “They abandoned me in the first place. Why should I go back and be bound by them again?”
Upon hearing this, Su Lianyue showed him a brilliant smile. “That’s good.” Then, it seemed that she wanted to say more, but she swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue. Her face became a little red, and she said, “Well… Last time… The words that I said last time, hmm, you can take it for real.” After finishing speaking, she blushed scarlet and rushed to the cave.
Xiao Chen was stunned for a while. When he understood what she meant, his heart could not help beating faster. Then Xiao Chen remembered the words she said when he first came to this mystic domain and pushed her to the ground by force… During this time, the two of them were together morning and night. Though they had not been intimate with each other, some romantic ideas would inevitably appear in his mind. “If by any chance, we cannot go out, will we have to spend the rest of our life in this valley together?”
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen violently shook his head and immediately turned away. When he walked away, Su Lianyue appeared again at the entrance of the cave, but her eyes seemed to show a little invisible coldness.
In the next three days, each of them tried to make a breakthrough in the place that the other didn’t know. By practicing the Devilish Skill on the stone wall, Su Lianyue improved her cultivation by leaps and bounds. Her cultivation level was above Xiao Chen’s already. In fact, she had reached the peak of Nascent Soul Realm half a month ago, but she hid the news from Xiao Chen.
On this day, she finally made a breakthrough and reached the Nirvana Realm. At this moment, a layer of faint purple light enveloped her whole body, which made her look completely different from before. Her eyes were a little cold, and her body was covered with bitter coldness. She waved her hand and launched a beam of purple haze. Then, in an instant, the haze instantly withered the grass and trees in the space around her.
“Finally, I reached the Nirvana Realm… Hehe.”
After Su Lianyue made a breakthrough and reached the Nirvana Realm, her six consciousnesses was enhanced a lot. So she soon found the place where Xiao Chen made a breakthrough. It was a very secret small cave.
At this moment, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes gently closed. There was not even a trace of living aura on him. He even stopped breathing as if he had already died.
Su Lianyue came to the entrance of the cave. After she hid all the aura on her, she approached him, step by step. Meanwhile, a little coldness flashed across her eyes.
