Chapter 2135
byAs soon as this huge illusory shadow leisurely appeared, it slowly raised its head and took a look at the surging energy gathering in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, she opened her mouth and took a hard suck.
A jaw-dropping scene occurred. Under her suction, the energy of heaven and earth that should have acted on Zhang Ruoxi was actually all sucked into her abdomen by her and disappeared！
After doing all this, the illusory shadow of the woman lowered her head and, just like when it appeared, suddenly shrank into Zhang Ruoxi’s body and disappeared.
However, before she left, Yang Kai faintly felt that she seemed to overlook him.
Even without coming into contact with the other party’s gaze, Yang Kai felt a jolt for no reason. and a feeling of humility and insignificance spontaneously arose.
“What was that…” Liu Yan’s voice trembled slightly. Although the strange illusory shadow had disappeared, the fear it had brought her just now had not diminished, making her shiver all over.
Yang Kai numbly shook his head.
“Boom…”
A halo of energy suddenly exploded with Zhang Ruoxi as the center and radiated in all directions.
After the illusory shadow shrank into her body, she directly broke through to the level of the Void Returning Mirror without any obstruction, and it could even be said to be a natural progression.
Yang Kai was almost dumbfounded.
Whether it was Zhang Ruoxi directly condensing her own potential field before, or the appearance of that strange phantom or her sudden promotion at the moment, it had all exceeded the scope of his understanding.
All of this seemed so unrealistic！
At this moment, only one thought lingered in his mind: What kind of bloodline power did Zhang Ruoxi inherit? Could that shadow be the projection of the will of the ancestors of the Zhang family?
Master, I want to go back first.” Liu Yan suddenly said.”
Yang Kai looked at her and found that her state was a bit wrong, so he didn’t force it. With a nod, he took her into the Mysterious Realm Pearl.
And Zhang Ruoxi, who had been promoted to the Dao Source Realm level, Youdaoplaceholder0 no sign of stopping. She was still devouring the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Her small body had now become like a bottomless pit, able to absorb all the spiritual energy no matter how much came.
With the absorption of the Mysterious Realm Pearl, the sea of spiritual energy below this canyon was thinning at an extremely fast speed.
The canyon that was originally filled with clouds and mist no longer had the previous scenery and the sea of spiritual energy had also disappeared, becoming the same as other places in the Four Seasons Land.
It was not until this time that came from Zhang Ruoxi’s side, and she slowly opened a pair of eyes.
She still seemed a bit dazed about the changes that had occurred to herself. After opening her eyes, she furrowed her brows slightly, spread her hands flat in front of herself, and then gently clenched them…
It was a long while before she came back to her senses. Sensing that someone was watching her, she looked up and met Yang Kai’s gaze.
“Sir！” Zhang Ruoxi stood up and softly called out.
“Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the Return to Void Mirror.” Yang Kai smiled slightly.
Zhang Ruoxi pursed her lips and said, “I don’t know what’s going on. I feel like I just slept and became like this.”
“Slept？” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows. “So, you have no idea what happened before？”
Zhang Ruoxi looked up and asked in surprise, “What happened before？”
She turned her head and looked around, and immediately discovered two shriveled corpses. She let out a terrified scream and her face turned pale. She said with lingering fear, “Someone attacked us？”
Yang Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn’t know how to tell her about those abnormal scenes, and could only say, “Just a few guys who don’t know the danger.”
However, Zhang Ruoxi’s reaction made him have some speculations.
It is rumored that some extremely powerful strange beasts, especially those of the Holy Spirit level, have considerable strength from birth. And their strength improvement doesn’t require overly hard cultivation. They just need to wait for the accumulation of time, and the blood power in their bodies will slowly awaken and grow, eventually standing at the peak of this world.
Zhang Ruoxi’s situation is somewhat similar to the inheritance of these monsters or Holy Spirits. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why her strength has increased so much in just two days, and she herself is still completely unaware.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai asked, “Ruoxi, has anyone ever explained to you the promotion of the Void Returning Mirror and the condensation of the potential field？”
“No.” Zhang Ruoxi shook her head upon hearing this. “When I was at home before, my strength was still very low. The old ancestor said that he would tell me about these things when I reached the Third-Order Saint King Realm…”
Yang Kai nodded upon hearing this. He remembered that he hadn’t told Zhang Ruoxi about these things either.
The promotion of the Void Returning Mirror is okay. Even if you don’t understand, you can grope for it yourself and play on the spot.
However, the condensation of the potential field cannot be understood overnight. Just Zhang Ruoxi condensed the potential field before, almost effortlessly!
In other words, how to condense the potential field is probably already deeply rooted in the depths of her soul. This is definitely due to the inheritance of the bloodline power.
“Sir, is there something wrong with Ruoxi’s cultivation？” Zhang Ruoxi asked a little nervously.
“There is nothing wrong.” Yang Kai quickly shook his head to avoid her misunderstanding. After a pause, he continued, “You have just been promoted. It is important to consolidate your cultivation. Go back to the Little Profound Realm first.”
“Yes！” Zhang Ruoxi nodded meekly, relaxed her body and mind, and let Yang Kai take her into the Profound Realm Bead.
Standing there and pondering for a while, Yang Kai still couldn’t quite figure out the situation. He hadn’t asked Zhang Ruoxi about the huge female phantom just now because she probably couldn’t give any answers, and asking would be a waste of time.
A moment later, he turned his head and looked to one side. Not far away, a streamer was rapidly approaching.
Moments later, Hua Qingsi appeared in front of him, looking extremely happy. Obviously, she had gained a lot.
“What happened？” Hua Qingsi asked in shock when she saw the two dried-up corpses on the ground.
“Just some people causing trouble.” Yang Kai explained faintly, and didn’t ask her what exactly she had gained. After all, it had already been agreed that all her gains would belong to her. He just said, “Come back first, I still have to rush to the Winter Region.”
“Wait a moment！”
“What for？”
Hua Qingsi pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “On the way back, I suddenly thought of something.”
Yang Kai didn’t answer, but just used his eyes to signal her to continue.
“There is a secret stash in the Two Seasons Mountain. Are you interested in exploring it？” Hua Qingsi asked with a smile.
“How do you know？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.
Hua Qingsi said, “I’m from the Star God Palace!” If there are no accidents, I should have one of the forty spots in the palace this time! For the Four Seasons Land, I’ve been preparing for a long time. What’s so strange about knowing a secret stash?
“The Two Seasons Mountain？” Yang Kai showed a thoughtful expression.
“Don’t worry. Although I don’t know what you’re going to do in the Winter Region, this is just a detour and won’t take much time.”
“Do you have the exact location？” Yang Kai asked.
Hua Qingsi couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said, “That hidden cache is just some clues I found in the sect’s ancient records. Although there is a map, the indication is not very clear. It only circles a general area. If we really go, we still have to search for it ourselves.”
“So, you don’t know what’s in it either？” Yang Kai asked.
Seeing his reluctant look, Hua Qingsi couldn’t help but pout and said, “It seems that you don’t know much about the Four Seasons Land！”
“How do you say that？” Yang Kai frowned.
Hua Qingsi giggled and said, “Do you know who the Four Seasons Land was born for？”
“You know？” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.
Hua Qingsi said proudly, “If I didn’t know, why would I ask you like this？”
Yang Kai suddenly sneered and said, “Speak！”
Seeing his threatening attitude, Hua Qingsi couldn’t help but pout and snorted, “The Great Emperor of Time and Space, have you heard of him？”
Yang Kai shook his head.
Hua Qingsi’s expression became serious and said, “Since ancient times, those existences who are qualified to be called the Great Emperor are all the top powerhouses in this world. However, even though they are the top, there is still the possibility of falling！ According to historical records, at least dozens of fallen Great Emperors have been recorded. The Great Emperor of Time is one of them. The divine skill cultivated by this Great Emperor is called the Divine Art of Time. When the supernatural power of time flies like a shuttle is unleashed, a thousand years pass in an instant. Those who are hit will lose their lifespan silently and die naturally！”
“No one knows exactly how this Great Emperor fell, but it is rumored… that the Four Seasons Region is a secret cave of the Great Emperor of Time. The power of the four seasons in the secret realm was also manifested by the Great Emperor of Time using his supernatural power and has not dissipated for countless years. There is also a rumor that in a certain place in the Four Seasons Region, there exists a majestic temple that reaches the sky, called the Temple of Time. There are countless benefits left by the Great Emperor of Time in it. If one can obtain one or two of them, the future will be smooth sailing without any obstacles. This rumor has been circulating among the various sects, but unfortunately no one can confirm it. There are only some vague records. And the secret treasure I mentioned is very likely to be related to the Temple of Time！”
After her complacent narration, she really aroused Yang Kai’s interest.
“However, since you think it’s troublesome, then we won’t go.” Hua Qingsi put on a show of whetting Yang Kai’s appetite.
Yang Kai, however, resolutely stretched out a hand to her.
“What are you doing？” Hua Qingsi asked vigilantly.
“Give me the map！”
Hua Qingsi immediately covered her Space Ring, jumped back a few steps, and gritted her teeth and said, “I’m warning you, if you dare to use force, I’ll…”
“What will you do？” Yang Kai sneered and approached her, saying, “This place is desolate. Even if you shout your throat out, no one will come to save you. Besides… with just a thought from me, you’ll obediently hand over the map！”
“You’re shameless, a beast！ Don’t come any closer… if you come any closer, I’ll shout… alright, alright, here you go.” Hua Qingsi took out a piece of animal skin from her Space Ring and threw it to Yang Kai, while indignantly despising and saying, “Is this interesting? A big man bullying a weak woman like me, do you still have any sense of shame?”
Yang Kai ignored her and just looked at the simple map drawn on the animal skin paper in his hand. He found that, as Hua Qingsi had said, there weren’t many clues on this map, and the directions were unclear.
