The slim lady’s cheeks were flushed due to blushing, while her eyes which wereoriginally as calm as amber were now filled with embarrassment and anger. Thisrarely seen appearance of hers was extremely soul stirring.

“You…”

Ashamed and angry, Ling Qingzhu stared at Lin Dong. It was obvious that shewas somewhat unable to believe that he would actually be so audacious.

After being stared at by Ling Qingzhu in such a manner, Lin Dong finallyregained his senses, and could not help but feel extremely awkward. Hisprevious action was rather quick and he did not put much thought into it. Onlyafter he tore off Ling Qingzhu’s veil, did he finally realise what he had done…

However, it was obvious that no explanation would be of any use in thissituation. Therefore, Lin Dong could only release a dry laugh. 

The embarrassment and anger on Ling Qingzhu’s face did not last for long. Herwillpower was indeed extraordinary, as even in such a situation, she quicklystabilized her mood. Sending a furious glare at Lin Dong, she took back herveil and covered her soul stirringly beautiful face once again.

“If you do this again, don’t think about keeping your hand.” After coveringher face with the veil, Ling Qingzhu shot a look at Lin Dong and said with aclear and cold voice.

Lin Dong grinned and laughed. He knew that if another person had tore off LingQingzhu’s veil, she would have likely immediately drawn her sword and attacked.Furthermore, her response let him know that the position he had in her heartwas somewhat different from the rest.

Of course, this did not mean that Ling Qingzhu fancied him. Lin Dong was nofool and he knew that his charm was not that formidable. Although he was prettytalented, he was not overly dazzling in the eyes of Ling Qingzhu, who wasalready used to meeting various monsters and geniuses. A large part of this waslikely due to the incident that had occurred back then. Other than that,perhaps the changes that occurred to Lin Dong over the past few years had alsocaused Ling Qingzhu to feel somewhat astonished…

As she gazed at the smile on Lin Dong’s face, Ling Qingzhu gently clenched herpearly white teeth. Just as she was about to speak, she discovered a berserkfluctuation suddenly unfurl from Lin Dong’s body.

“Nirvana Tribulation?” 

When she sensed the familiar fluctuation, Ling Qingzhu was startled for asecond, before looking at Lin Dong with a peculiar glint in her eyes. It seemslike this fellow had gained quite a bit during this five days of seclusion…

“Has it finally arrived…”

When the fluctuation emerged from within his body, a radiant smile appeared onLin Dong’s face. Soon after, he took in a deep breath and closed his eyes onceagain. Green light sparkled continuously on the surface of his body.Indistinctly, a deep muffled roar rang out from his body.

This time around, Lin Dong closed his eye for approximately half an hour.Under the attentive gaze of Ling Qingzhu, Lin Dong opened his eyes again. Atthis moment, there were small beads of perspiration on his forehead.

“It’s done…” said Lin Dong as he smiled towards Ling Qingzhu.

“Oh.”

Ling Qingzhu faintly nodded her head as she diverted her gaze from Lin Dong’sbody, while secretly feeling quite amazed. This was the eighth NirvanaTribulation and was definitely not a weak one. When she had passed itpreviously, she had used quite a bit of time. Furthermore, she was nowhere asrelaxed as Lin Dong had been.  

“Finally at the eight Yuan Nirvana stage…” muttered Lin Dong as he stood up.As he clenched his fists, he felt the surging power within his body, causing ahappy expression that was hard to conceal to appear in his eyes. The life Qipill Fen Tian had given him was indeed extremely beneficial to him.Furthermore, after this breakthrough, he could still feel that the life Qi pillexistence within his body. The current him was unable to absorb the boundlesspower within it.

“Looks like you have received most of the benefits from this trip to theBurnng Sky Ancient Stash.” said Ling Qingzhu as her eyes swept across Lin Dong.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong could not resist and broke out into laughter. Itwas true after all. Before this, he had heard that the Burning Sky AncientStash contained numerous treasures. However, only after entering did he realizethat not only were there scarcely any treasures, there was instead a hugeproblem inside…

After escaping from the Burning Sky Array with great difficulty, heencountered the black fog creature that had been set free. Some unlucky fellowshad even lost their lives because of this.

However, after paying such a huge price, everyone who entered had to leaveempty handed and were even forced to flee in a miserable manner. At the end ofthe day, the only one that seemed to have truly profited was Lin Dong. Everyoneelse could only leave dejected and depressed…

“How long did I cultivate?”asked Lin Dong after turning his head around

“Five days.”

“Five days huh…” muttered Lin Dong as he slowly nodded his head. His gazeturned towards Ling Qingzhu as he smiled and said, “Why didn’t you leave first?”

For these five days, Ling Qingzhu had evidently stayed nearby. She could haveleft this place earlier, and continue leading the Nine Heavens Supreme PurityPalace disciples instead of wasting her time here…

“There are quite a few artifacts left from ancient times here. I merely wantedto explore.” replied Ling Qingzhu in an indifferent tone as she turned her gazeaway.

“Oh…” said Lin Dong with a chuckle. He did not probe any deeper. As his laughfaded, it was followed by another word, “Thanks.”

Although the two of them did not talk about it, Lin Dong knew that LingQingzhu had stayed behind because she had the intention of protecting him.Although he would not be disturbed in this place, Lin Dong felt slightlytouched by her actions.

Ling Qingzhu declined to comment and replied, “If your cultivation is done,let’s get going.”

Lin Dong nodded his head and stood up. Soon after, his gaze was cast towardsFen Tian, who was sitting like a stone statue, and gave a respectful bowtowards him.

“Elder Fen Tian, if this young one is able to reach the level you spoke of, Iwill definitely save and awaken you!”

As soon as he spoke those words, Lin Dong no longer hesitated. With a turn, heshot off and flew towards the spacial vortex that was still present in thedistant sky.

Ling Qingzhu shot a glance at Fen Tian, who had lost all his life force, as apensive look flashed past her eyes. Soon after, she moved and caught up to LinDong before the both of them shot into the spatial vortex at the same time andrapidly disappeared.

Following the departure of the two, the crimson mountain range fell intosilence once again. A desolate and ancient feeling stealthily pervaded the air.In the end, it enveloped the entire domain… 

……

Within the crimson basin, a patch of space suddenly distorted beforetransforming into a spatial vortex. Two figures stepped out one after anotherand proceeded to fly away.

Lin Dong floated in mid air while sweeping his gaze across the basin. The vastcrowd that was originally here was now no longer present. Looking as far as hiseye could see, there were only a few people present, a far cry from theexplosive atmosphere that had once filled this place.

“Looks like everyone has left…” after observing this scene, Lin Dong could nothelp but to smile and remark.

“Yes. There is still over half a month’s worth of journey from here to theUnique Devil Region. Most likely, the disciples of the various sects would havestarted training again.” replied Ling Qingzhu as she nodded her head.

“ Shouldn’t you head back to take charge of the situation?” asked Lin Dong.

“Wu Qun has some leadership capabilities and he should be able to handle it,while Su Rou is not weak as well. As long as they do not meet with too great atrouble, they should be alright.” replied Ling Qingzhu indifferently.

“I should be directing this question at you instead. Your Dao Sect has a deepgrudge with Yuan Gate. Aren’t you afraid that Yuan Gate will take actionagainst your Dao Sect when you’re not around?”

“I believe that Qingtan and Chen Gui should be following senior sisterXiaoxiao and the rest. With Chen Gui around, Yuan Cang would be somewhatrestrained. He will likely not act until the final moment. After all, thedeeper areas of Unique Devil Region are rather dangerous. If they meet with aformidable demon by chance, it would also be a huge headache for them.” repliedLin Dong.

“Naturally, for safety’s sake, it’s best to return to the group.”

Lin Dong smiled before waving his hand at Ling Qingzhu and asked, “Shall we gotogether?”

Upon hearing his words Ling Qingzhu slowly shook her head, before shooting alook at another direction within the deeper regions of Unique Devil Region andreplied, “You go ahead, I still have something that I need to do.”

“That direction… is the area with the highest concentration of demons withinUnique Devil Region. Why do you need to go there?” Lin Dong gazed at thedirection Ling Qingzhu had indicated. His eyebrows involuntarily furrowed as heasked.

“According to the information that I’ve acquired from an ancient text, thereis a ‘Supreme Purity Celestial Pond’ in the depths of Unique Devil Region. Itwas left behind by a powerful practitioner from ancient times.”

Ling Qingzhu hesitated for a while before saying in a soft voice, “I’vetrained in the Nine Heavens Celestial Arts of the Nine Heavens Supreme PurityPalace. This martial art is excessively fearsome, which caused me to injure mymeridians and internal organs after an accident during my training. Therefore,I need the ‘Supreme Purity Celestial Pond’ to heal my injuries as well as tocounterbalance the residual effects of the Nine Heavens Celestial Arts.”

Lin Dong was stunned. He had obviously not realized that Ling Qingzhu wasactually suffering from internal injuries.

“Why not bring along the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace disciples? It willnot be an easy journey.”asked Lin Dong with a frown. 

“It is exactly because it will not be easy. Even if I bring them along, theywould be of no use, and it would instead cause more unnecessary injuries anddeaths.” replied Ling Qingzhu indifferently. Soon after, she did not elaborateany further and the green lotus appeared beneath her jadelike feet.

“Let’s separate here. We’ll meet again at the teleportation array at the exit.Take care.”

As her words faded, Ling Qingzhu did not hesitate and immediately transformedinto a green ray of light that shot towards the horizon. Moments later, thegreen ray of light suddenly stopped. She turned her head in astonishment, andnoticed a thin youth following closely behind her. A radiant smile had surfacedon his youthful face.

“It doesn’t seem gentlemanly to let a girl go to such a place by herself.Therefore, let’s go together. I might as well take the opportunity to repayyour favour?”

The youth looked towards Ling Qingzhu who wore an astonished expression on herface. He spread out his hands in a carefree manner and smiled.
