Chapter 2943: Consecutive Breakthroughs

Chapter 2943 -2944: Consecutive Breakthroughs

The elder waved his hand, and the formations lost their effect on the two. Then, Ye Luo entered the cave.

Unexpectedly, the inside of the cave was brightly lit, and many plants were growing that Ye Luo had never seen before.

These plants were lush and green, but not very tall, the tallest being about a person’s height, adding a touch of vitality to the cave.

More importantly, these plants emitted a rich spiritual energy, leaving Ye Luo speechless.

Such vegetation, if placed outside, would definitely be coveted! After all, even those legendary herbs couldn’t achieve this.

However, considering the urgent situation, Ye Luo didn’t inquire about these plants, as the spiritual energy, no matter how rich, wasn’t very useful to him at his current realm!

But soon, he was stunned!

What is that!

The cave wasn’t very large, and at its end, there was a small square pool filled with viscous golden liquid!

This liquid contained no spiritual power, nor did it emit any aura, but Ye Luo was sure that it was something extremely precious.

Even more bizarre!

Next to the pool, there were several clusters of pure soul power! One could say there were a few spiritual bodies, clearly without any consciousness!

What use do these spiritual bodies have?

“This is what I have accomplished over the years! My true form is sealed beneath this pool! Once my seal is broken, the seal on the mother body will also be unlocked immediately! Therefore, I cannot break the seal! In this way, the mother body can only rely on its own power to gradually erode the seal! In other words, our seals are completely shared!”

This was something Ye Luo had anticipated long ago.

“This pool, in fact, is the essence of heaven and earth gathered by this Linglong Tower! Originally, this tower was used to provide cultivation for disciples. Although it is now damaged, it has only lost its combat capabilities, and its ability to gather essence remains intact! This essence is enough to make the Ice Gate Sect the leading sect in the Dark Alliance, but it is meaningless because if the mother body appears, not only the Ice Gate Sect, but the entire Dark Alliance and even the entire Demon Realm will face a calamity!”

Ye Luo was somewhat puzzled—what exactly is the use of this essence! Without contact, Ye Luo was also ignorant of this essence.

“The essence has two main features! Firstly, it is effective on both spiritual bodies and regular cultivators! Secondly, regardless of the cultivator’s realm, the effect is enormous! Otherwise, the mother body would have a considerable advantage over me; how could I stand against it! It is because I have been refining this essence for years that my strength has continuously increased!”

“So, senior’s intention is!”

The elder nodded slightly, “Not much, my intention is for you to refine this essence to enhance your strength! After I restrain the mother body, you will activate your power to seal it!”

This matched Ye Luo’s previous speculation, but it was easier said than done.

A slight mistake could cost Ye Luo his life, but there seemed to be no better alternative now.

“This essence is sufficient to raise your strength to a new height! Then, I have a gift for you!”

A gift? Ye Luo looked at the elder in confusion.

“These spiritual bodies are all naturally born without any spiritual intelligence or divine sense to control them; as long as you infuse them with your divine sense, they will become your most loyal guards! They will only obey your orders in the future! However, once you leave, I hope you can leave two spiritual bodies with the Ice Gate Sect, so that they won’t have remembered their ancestral teachings in vain for generations!”

Ye Luo roughly scanned them; there were ten spiritual bodies in total, which meant eight would become his guards.

However, these spiritual bodies seemed to have no realm, so how far could they ultimately grow? Moreover, this form of guard reminded Ye Luo of the Shadow Guard!

Could it be that the principle behind King of Huainan’s Shadow Guards was the same as these spiritual bodies?

Highly possible!

Meanwhile, the liquid in the pool had already started to boil; the elder had clearly activated the essence.

“Go now; the more time we leave for the mother body, the more danger we face!” the elder said solemnly.

Ye Luo naturally understood this reasoning and immediately sat cross-legged on an old, worn-out mat beside the pool, beginning to absorb and refine the essence.

Originally, he did not have much hope; though he had consumed much of such essence, his strength had grown only limitedly.

But now! It was completely unlike anything he had imagined; the effect of the essence was simply defying the heavens!

Soon, his realm began to slowly advance.

Or rather, his accumulation in the Saint Realm had reached its peak! Breaking through to the Heavenly Martial Realm would be a brand new world for Ye Luo, and he had been waiting for an opportunity, which had now come.

Then! Breakthrough!

Crack!

His bones and flesh began to slowly wriggle, producing strange sounds.

And his aura started to fluctuate intensely.

However, the speed at which he absorbed the essence suddenly increased significantly, and at the same time, his Qiankun Ring opened, turning a massive amount of resources into pure spiritual energy, enveloping his body.

Even the elder was slightly surprised by this scene.

“Indeed, this child is extraordinary; in today’s world, those who cultivate to the Saint Realm are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and among those accumulating like him, there might not be a second!” the elder nodded in appreciation.

As the seconds ticked by, the essence in the pool, accumulated over countless years, was more than sufficient for Ye Luo’s breakthrough needs, even though the amount needed was enormous!

Meanwhile, the ten spiritual bodies behind him also began to slowly absorb the power of this essence, and their realms were advancing quite swiftly, but Ye Luo was so focused on his own body that he had no mind to pay attention to them.

Outside in the plaza, silence reigned!

Everyone was looking up, watching the small tower on the high platform, with faces expressing both hope and doubt.

Of course, those most anxious were the high-ranking members of the Ice Gate Sect.

“Why is it taking so long! Could there be a problem!” Qiu Xia asked with a frown.

The Sect Leader sighed, “Now everything is beyond our control; everything depends on the ancestor’s will!”

“Ancestor?” Qiu Xia muttered in confusion, then her face changed dramatically! “Could the ancestor be inside this Linglong Tower?”

The Sect Leader gave her a glance, naturally not answering her question.

At that moment, the small tower had quieted down, with no movements, but outside, the black and purple energies had intertwined, indistinguishable from each other.
