Chapter 523 - True Dragon’s Bone
The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.
What happened next was indescribable!
At this moment, in the cave abode on the other side, Ming Yue closed her eyes tightly and circulated the power in her body to silently cultivate. However, for some reason, she could not calm down and cultivate properly. The moment she closed her eyes, she thought of Ye Qiu and Lian Feng in the cave abode opposite.
“Damn it! Why is my mind filled with this guy the moment I close my eyes? Also, what are they doing inside? Why haven’t they come out for a day and night?”
Ming Yue was very angry. She especially wanted to find someone and beat him up so as to vent her anger. She was even more curious about what those two fellows were doing inside after closing the door. Why didn’t they come out for so long? From time to time, she felt the cave entrance tremble, as if something intense was happening.
Ming Yue’s mind was blank. She couldn’t think of anything strange that these two could do inside. She didn’t have any experience. If she had, she wouldn’t have been so troubled.
Time passed bit by bit, and half a month passed quickly. On this day, Ye Qiu woke up from his sleep and let out a long sigh.
“Ah! How comfortable..”
At that moment, it was as if the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for many years had finally been vented.
“Four Heavenly Sanctums! Finally, another step forward.”
Everyone, please don’t misunderstand. During this period of time, Ye Qiu had been working hard to break through to his fourth Heavenly Sanctum. Finally, after spending half a month, he finally succeeded in breaking through.
The moment he reached the four Heavenly Sanctums, Ye Qiu could feel a terrifying power circling in his body. This fulfilling feeling was refreshing and had an endless amount of energy.
Lian Feng tugged at her robe and sat quietly beside him, watching his every move. After feeling that Ye Qiu had successfully broken through, she was delighted and felt happy for Ye Qiu.
“Four Heavenly Sanctums! Such a rapid breakthrough speed is really terrifying.” Lian Feng sighed from the bottom of her heart. Then, she shook her head and said, “However, this isn’t fast enough!”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately frowned. He felt that he was already fast enough. Why did Lian Feng still feel that he wasn’t fast enough?
Lian Feng said in an incomparably cold voice, “It’s very common to open nine Heavenly Sanctums here. But it’s harder than ascending to the heavens to open the tenth Heavenly Sanctum.
“There’s a woman living opposite this cave abode. She’s the most terrifying legend in the entire Heaven Mending Pavilion. She broke the record of the fastest to open up nine Heavenly Sanctums in history and broke through the tenth Heavenly Sanctum in one go.”
At this point, a trace of fighting spirit flashed across Lian Feng’s eyes. Although she had no interactions with Ming Yue, she had treated Ming Yue as a competitor since she entered.
The thing she wanted to do the most at the moment was to surpass her. Although she usually stood aloof from the world and seemed to not care about anything, in reality, the fighting spirit in her heart was not lacking at all.
Ever since she entered the sect, the two of them had been competing. Today, Lian Feng had already successfully opened her eighth Heavenly Sanctum. She was only two Heavenly Sanctums away from Ming Yue.
Looking at Ye Qiu, Lian Feng continued, “This person is extremely talented. It can be said that she is a once-in-a-lifetime existence. It’s harder than ascending to heaven to surpass her and break her record.”
To be able to make Lian Feng take her so seriously, it could be seen how terrifying the woman opposite him was.
Ye Qiu knew Lian Feng’s personality well and knew that she never joked. After pondering for a moment, he said, “I think I know who this person you’re talking about is.”
“Hmm?”
Lian Feng’s heart trembled as she looked over in confusion.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “The person you’re talking about is Ming Yue, right?”
“You know her?” Lian Feng was very surprised. Could it be that Ye Qiu and Ming Yue had already met?
“Haha!” Ye Qiu smiled calmly and comforted her. He said, “You forgot that I said before that I went to the Crimson Dragon Mountain Range when I was in the upper realm. That’s where I met her. I fought her a few times.”
“How was it? Did you lose?”
Lian Feng immediately became nervous when she heard this.
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, “Yes, I guess so. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a terrifying opponent in the same realm. I know that she didn’t use her full strength at that time. Although I didn’t use my full strength, I might lose if we both use our full strength.”
This was the first time Ye Qiu admitted that Ming Yue was indeed very strong, a ridiculously strong existence. However, she only had the advantage of ten Heavenly Sanctums. Otherwise, Ye Qiu might not have lost to her.
Lian Feng pondered. She had never fought Ming Yue before and knew very little about her.
“Alright! Don’t think too much.” Gently stroking her beautiful hair, Ye Qiu said, “Let’s put Ming Yue’s matter aside for now. What you should worry about the most now is your competitor.”
Lian Feng didn’t say anything. She knew very well who Ye Qiu was referring to. They were her opponents who had also inherited the Heaven Mending Goddess’ inheritance. However, they had yet to ascend, so Lian Feng knew very little about them. She had heard from the First Elder that although they had yet to ascend, their strength was already extraordinary, and their cultivation might be above hers.
Therefore, she had always been very hardworking because she did not want to fall behind.
“I’ll do my best.” Lian Feng said firmly, whether it was for herself, Ye Qiu, or her three disciples. She would do her best. No matter what, she had to take this position. She was not thinking about the inheritance brought by the Goddess Position, but this position could better establish herself in the Heaven Mending Pavilion.
Seeing her sincere gaze, Ye Qiu smiled and gently pinched her pretty face. He said, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. No matter how strong they are, as long as I’m still alive, I won’t allow any of them to hurt you.”
Hearing this, Lian Feng’s heart warmed and she was very happy. She was already very satisfied with Ye Qiu’s words. She didn’t dare to ask for anything more. She gently leaned into Ye Qiu’s arms and liked this feeling even more. This might be what her senior sisters always said about love.
Just as her thoughts were running wild, a precious bone emitting golden light suddenly appeared in front of her.
Lian Feng was stunned and revealed a surprised expression.
“True Dragon’s bone!”
This.. Ye Qiu actually had a True Dragon’s bone?
Lian Feng was incomparably shocked and said in disbelief, “Where did you get the precious bone?”
Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, “Didn’t I say that I went to the Crimson Dragon Mountain Range and participated in a trip to the True Dragon Lair? I happened to obtain a True Dragon’s bone.”
Speaking of this, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but want to laugh.
This precious bone was obtained in the name of Qi Wuhui, but in reality, the precious bone had nothing to do with Qi Wuhui. He couldn’t even get any soup, yet he had to bear the blame.
Poor Old Qi. He must have been born to take the blame for others.
