Chapter 1066: Direct Entry into the Divine Soul Realm
Yin Xue Realm, Bing Huang God Sect.
Since Mu Xuanyin left for the Yan Shen Realm, several consecutive days had passed. Mu Bingyun's mind was unsettled, unable to calm her heart. She was usually free from desires and distractions, and had rarely experienced such a feeling.
On this day, she spent nearly half an hour without being able to fully enter meditation, when suddenly a needle-like sharp pain pierced her heart.
She opened her icy eyes, gave a brief instruction to Mu Xiaolan, then flew away from the Ice Phoenix Palace and headed straight for the Ice Phoenix Temple.
"Grand Elder, does the dimensional array to the Yan Shen Realm still have energy?" Finding Mu Huanzhi, Mu Bingyun asked directly, her crescent brows solemn.
"You want to go to the Yan Shen Realm? What happened?" Mu Huanzhi hurriedly asked.
Mu Bingyun frowned and said, "Since the Sect Master left for the Yan Shen Realm, I have been feeling uneasy these past few days, and last night I even had a frightening dream. I worry that something might have happened to the Sect Master in the Yan Shen Realm."
Mu Huanzhi was startled, then laughed, "Hehe, rest assured, there is nothing in the Yan Shen Realm that can threaten the Sect Master. The Sect Master has fought that ancient horned dragon many times; even if unable to slay it, she would never be injured by it. Moreover, the dragon's Dragon Gate was wounded by the Sect Master a thousand years ago, so it poses even less of a threat."
Mu Bingyun gently shook her head, "This feeling has never occurred before, and it has persisted for several days. No... I must go to the Yan Shen Realm."
Mu Huanzhi thought briefly, then nodded, "Since that's the case, very well. However, the dimensional array to the Yan Shen Realm has not been activated for nearly a thousand years, its energy should have long dissipated. I will immediately order someone to reconstruct the array with Mysterious Crystals." In a moment, he continued, "Tomorrow, I will go with you."
Although he firmly believed that with Mu Xuanyin's strength, it was impossible for anything to happen to her in the Yan Shen Realm. However, Mu Bingyun was her full-blooded sister, and this kind of thing, perhaps a soul connection, could not be completely ignored.
——————————————
The inner world of the Primordial Mystic Ark.
He didn't know how many times he had released on Mu Xuanyin's body... to be precise, he didn't know how many times Mu Xuanyin had entangled herself on him and released, until in her eyes, which were clearly unconscious yet filled with seductive, hazy light, the flame of desire finally slowly subsided.
This supreme Divine Lord who ruled over the vast Yin Xue Realm and stood at the pinnacle of the entire God Realm, at this moment was like a delicate young girl who had suffered long ravishment, lying in Yun Che's arms, trembling and gasping as if dying, until her seductive eyes closed and she fell into a languid sleep.
At the corners of her eyes, a few traces of tears not yet fully dried were dotted.
Yun Che gently left Mu Xuanyin's body. As his rationality fully cleared, he stood there dumbfounded, completely at a loss.
The air was thick with an especially heavy erotic scent. The surrounding withered grass was a mess, as if ravaged by a violent storm. Mu Xuanyin's long hair was completely disheveled, and her jade-like body, more beautiful and enchanting than a mythical fairy, was covered with glistening sweat beads, with clear light red marks scattered across her snow-white skin.
Yun Che stared blankly, his heartbeat sometimes racing, sometimes stopping abruptly, completely in chaos.
Since things had come to this... he had done it to save Mu Xuanyin's life, but at this moment, he could hardly believe he had actually done it.
What kind of person was Mu Xuanyin... Divine Lord Realm, the realm closest to being a god among humans. And those who achieved Divine Lord were already at the pinnacle of the entire Chaos, overlooking all living beings in the myriad worlds as gods among men. With a single word, she could decide the fate of any living being in Yin Xue Realm; a snap of her fingers could bury an entire dynasty. Even the strongest person in the Yan Shen Realm would never dare to act rashly before her.
Given her strength and the height she stood at, not to mention those who would dare to desecrate her, even those who would dare to show the slightest disrespect to her almost did not exist.
And he was merely from a lower realm planet that the God Realm utterly disdained, his profound strength only just entering the Divine Path, a mere speck of dust in the vast God Realm.
His greatest achievement since arriving in the God Realm was becoming her personal disciple.
Yet he had... Mu Xuanyin...
This was absolutely the craziest... most terrifying thing he had done in his two lifetimes.
"This time it's completely over." Yun Che muttered to himself, "Master will definitely kill me... if this gets out, everyone in Yin Xue Realm will want to skin me alive."
Yun Che sat there stunned for a long moment. Just as he was about to stand up, suddenly, a violent tremor shook his lower abdomen, and then an extremely intense cold air erupted fiercely, spreading from inside to outside throughout his entire body in an instant, then quickly converged towards his Profound Vein.
Before Yun Che could react, thick icy mist rose from his entire body.
What... is this?
Boom——
It was as if countless tornadoes had been stirred up inside his body, after flowing through his meridians, they all crazily surged towards his Profound Vein. The profound energy in the Evil God's Mysterious Vein spun like a vortex stirred by a tornado, spinning rapidly and expanding quickly.
The magnitude of the expansion was so great that Yun Che was first astonished, then terrified.
This...
It's Master's Ice Phoenix Primordial Yin!!
He had just realized it, then immediately knelt down on the ground, and without any time to think, desperately gathered his mind and tried with all his might to guide the chaotic icy aura throughout his body... But the level of this aura was so high that Yun Che could not control it at all. Although it was clearly an aura flowing within his body, it was completely beyond his control and instead spontaneously surged towards his Profound Vein.
By common reasoning, having an aura of power at a level beyond one's own understanding enter the body would undoubtedly result in death by explosion. But this cold air seemed to be completely affinitive and harmonious with Yun Che's body; although it was extremely dense and terrifying, it did not cause Yun Che any discomfort.
But deep within the Profound Vein, it was as if a tremendous storm had stirred.
When the storm surged to a certain critical point, a dull boom sounded at the center of the Profound Vein, transmitting to the depths of his consciousness.
In just a few dozen breaths, the profound energy directly broke through!
Divine Origin Realm, Level 3!
Breakthroughs on the Divine Path are extremely difficult. Previously, relying on the power of the Minghan Heavenly Lake, Yun Che had taken three months to break through to Divine Origin Realm Level 2, and that speed was already very impressive in the God Realm.
But under Mu Xuanyin's Ice Phoenix Primordial Yin, he broke through directly in just a few dozen breaths... and this was just the beginning.
After the breakthrough, the storm sweeping through the Profound Vein did not slow down; instead it grew even more violent. The profound energy nebula spun rapidly, thickened, and transformed within the storm...
Divine Origin Realm Level 4...
Divine Origin Realm Level 5...
Divine Origin Realm Level 6...
...
...
Divine Origin Realm Level 9...
Divine Origin Realm Level 10!!
Yun Che's entire mind was blank, as if in a dream. The insanely crazy increase in profound energy left him unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Less than half an hour ago, he was only at Divine Origin Realm Level 2, and had just broken through a few days ago. Yet in the blink of an eye... he had already reached the peak of Divine Origin Realm!
Without doing anything, he had directly crossed eight minor realms!
However, this still was not over. The increase in profound energy showed no signs of weakening.
Yun Che's heart and soul trembled violently. He remembered that when he had forcibly restrained himself from taking Mu Feixue's Ice Phoenix Primordial Yin, Mu Xuanyin had told him with coquettish teasing that if he could take her Ice Phoenix Primordial Yin, he could directly enter the Divine Soul Realm in one night.
Could it be... that Master's words were actually true?
Under his incomparably complex state of mind, finally, at a certain moment, his sight, hearing, smell, spiritual sense... all his senses disappeared in an instant. He could hear no sound, nor could he feel his own existence.
The only sensation was the profound energy nebula in his Profound Vein contracting violently, contracting further...
Then it exploded with a thunderous sound.
Deep in his soul, there also came a boom, as if his soul had shattered at the same time.
Consciousness completely scattered.
He didn't know how long it had been, but his consciousness quickly cleared up... and it was incomparably clear.
Because he had exhausted all his soul power in the Dragon Soul Domain, although he had been unconscious for a while, his consciousness was still extremely fatigued upon waking. After that, detoxifying Mu Xuanyin for several hours had made it even heavier.
But at this moment, there was no longer any heaviness or fatigue; instead, he felt more relaxed and clear-headed than at any other time. It was as if he was bathing in a bamboo forest with gentle breezes, so comfortable he almost felt like floating.
At his ears, the sounds of the world were even clearer. When he opened his eyes, he could see dozens of miles away with a single glance. Without deliberately releasing his spiritual sense, it seemed to extend into the gaps of space, perceiving a completely different world.
A transformation of the soul!
Divine Soul Realm!!
Within the Profound Vein, the profound energy nebula after the explosion had completed its reorganization. It was still in the shape of a nebula, but now had countless cotton-like hazy threads.
This was a completely new realm of the Profound Way, a power Yun Che had never felt before.
"This is... the Divine Soul Realm?" Yun Che murmured in disbelief.
Compared to the Divine Origin Realm, which was a transformation of the body, the Divine Soul Realm was a transformation of the soul. After achieving the Divine Soul Realm, the soul would transform from the mundane to the Divine Path. This transformation was very obvious for other profound practitioners: spiritual sense, mental strength, and perception would increase dramatically, and a soul that had entered the Divine Path would be extremely difficult to soul-search.
But just like with the Divine Origin Realm, because Yun Che's soul had already transcended the mortal body long ago, this change was not so significant for him; it simply made his mental strength more powerful, not the kind of cross-level "transformation."
After a long period of stunned amazement, he was startled to find that Mu Xuanyin's Primordial Yin aura was still flowing within his body, driving a rapid increase in his profound energy.
Still... not over!?
The profound energy nebula at the initial Divine Soul Realm was increasing to his shock. However, breakthroughs in the Divine Soul Realm were naturally much more difficult than in the Divine Origin Realm. The increase in profound energy slowed down several times, but showed no signs of stopping for a long time, slowly... once again touching a boundary.
Buzz——
Divine Soul Realm Level 2!
On his body, the icy aura still remained, but the profound energy finally calmed down.
Yun Che opened his eyes, stood up slowly, stared blankly at his own hands, feeling the powerful energy as if reborn, lost in thought for a long time.
The entire process had taken perhaps less than an hour, yet it had directly increased his profound energy by more than ten times.
Divine Soul Realm... I am already at the Divine Soul Realm!!?
This dreamlike leap came from Mu Xuanyin's Ice Phoenix Primordial Yin.
And the consequence of a woman of the Ice Phoenix losing her Ice Phoenix Primordial Yin would be a great reduction in talent, and her future cultivation progress would be far weaker than before.
Although he had been forced to do it to save Mu Xuanyin's life... he had gained immense benefits. But Mu Xuanyin, on the other hand...
"Divine Soul Realm... in one go, I have taken such a huge step closer to the Divine Tribulation Realm." Yun Che murmured to himself. The once distant hope had suddenly closed by ten thousand miles in this moment.
But what use was it? After Mu Xuanyin woke up, he would definitely not survive... even if she knew he did it to save her.
What to do... what should he do?
Originally, he should have been ecstatic. But now, he was more filled with fear and turmoil.
"Ying..."
A soft moan like a gentle breeze reached his ears, startling Yun Che greatly. He quickly looked at Mu Xuanyin and found that her beautiful eyes had slightly opened, her gaze hazy with watery mist, incredibly beautiful, and on her face was an abnormal blush.
Yun Che hurriedly stepped forward and placed his hand over her chest... A soft, burning heat immediately came through his hand. Although it had weakened a lot compared to the beginning, it was still an abnormal temperature.
"It seems it hasn't been completely resolved yet." Yun Che swallowed hard and muttered to himself, "Then I'll just have to continue my efforts..."
