Chapter 144
The blue lake, which had originally been obscured by the Dharma Array, could now be scanned clearly by using Spiritual Force. The two Golden Core cultivators, Qin Yin and Little Tree all looked longingly at the lake.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed within the lake. After confirming that there was no issue with it, he said, “There is probably no point in taking away the water of the lake. Everyone start cultivating quickly!”
Di Jiu was the first to step into the lake. When he did, a bone-piercing chill permeated his body. Even Di Jiu could sense that this water was quite frosty.
After this chill came an extremely dense Spirit Qi. The two Golden Core cultivators and Qin Yin, who did not care about that bone-piercing chill, started to frantically absorb the Spirit Qi within the blue lake and cultivate.
Di Jiu was very impressed by Qin Yin’s potential. After a few Qi Circulations, he sensed that Qin Yin had broken through to the fourth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. The increase of her cultivation could be sensed clearly.
Everyone’s cultivation, including Zhong Xun’s and the other two sixth-stage Golden Core cultivators’, soared rapidly.
Di Jiu was secretly surprised. What was the Spirit Origin of this blue lake made of and why did it have such an effect?
Little Tree reconnected its broken arm and started to frantically absorb the Spirit Energy within the lake. Although the rate at which it absorbed Spirit Stones was very slow, its cultivation aura soared rapidly while it absorbed the Spirit Origin of the lake.
Even the beetle hiding on Di Jiu’s shoulder lunged into the blue lake.
Huang Ping’s eyes brightened up when he heard this. “That’s right. Why do we have to fly over the lake?” he said excitedly. “We could cross over through the lake. The Defense Array outside the lake and the one above the lake are most likely different. We could combine our forces and break through this Defense Array.”
Sometimes, when the truth was within reach, the moment someone unraveled a mystery, it ceased to be a secret.
The three Golden Core cultivators attacked the blue lake together. Although they did not do it as easily or simply as Di Jiu, it took them a mere two hours to crack open the border of the blue lake. An extremely dense amount of Spirit Qi immediately started to flow out.
“This is a nice place.” The three of them cared about nothing else as they stepped into the blue lake almost at the same time.
The Spirit Origin of the lake water was so dense that they didn’t think about anything. They immediately sat down and started cultivating frantically.
Inside the lake were various isolation restrictions and Defense Arrays. The two different groups of people, Qin Yin and company and the three Golden Core cultivators who walked in afterwards, were both cultivating in the blue lake. However, they could not see each other.
Meanwhile, Di Jiu had walked to the other side of the lake, so no one would be able to see where he was unless they headed over as well.
One could easily attain another cultivation level after cultivating in the lake for a short period of time. Hence, only a fool would not cultivate and wander inside the lake.
No matter how good the item at the opposite side of the lake was, it would at best increase their cultivation. If they could increase their cultivation in the lake, why would they waste time competing against a tyrant like Di Jiu?
….
It had been five days since the few of them had entered the lake. Little Tree’s arm had long since been restored. Actually, this was the first time it found cultivating so easy. It yearned to reach Level Three so that it would not be caught so easily, even if it encountered Golden Core cultivators.
Qin Yin had a late-stage Essence Soul Realm Master. Furthermore, the True Li Sword Sect was a top-notch sect in the northern province, so she did not lack any cultivating resources.
However, she still experienced first-hand that having sufficient cultivating resources did not mean that one’s cultivation would keep improving. No matter how great her potential was, using ordinary Spirit Stones and elixirs to cultivate and using this blue lake to do the same were different.
When she had first entered the blue lake, she had been at the fourth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. After cultivating for five days, she had attained the sixth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
No one would believe her if she said that she had advanced from the fourth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm to the sixth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm in five days.
However, Qin Yin knew very well that she was not the only one improving. The aura cultivator called Zhong Xun had fluctuated once, which meant that he had attained one cultivation level.
Qin Yin would not waste such an opportunity, so she started to frantically absorb the Spirit Origin and cultivate even more. One only got this sort of opportunity once.
…
Wind blades struck the natural array, taking several lives once again.
However, the remaining cultivators continued to madly attack the Space Strangulation Array blocking the valley. Everyone knew very well that a top-notch treasure was located on the other side of this array. They also knew that eight people had already passed through.
Crack! As 100-200 people attacked it, the Space Strangulation Array finally let out a cracking sound.
“The array is about to break. Everyone put in more strength. Once it breaks, I will be able to enter and collect the most valuable treasure!” shouted an eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator.
By the time this cultivator had heard the news and run there, the six Golden Core cultivators, Little Tree and Di Jiu had already entered.
Eighth-stage Golden Core cultivators were essentially top-level existences in the Sky Screen, so he naturally wanted to obtain a share of the best items. Thus, he had immediately joined forces with all the cultivators there and started attacking the Space Strangulation Array.
After a few days of hard work, the array finally let out a cracking sound.
The eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator had not needed to say anything. Everyone knew that the Space Strangulation Array was probably about to break.
A couple hundred of Dharma treasures landed on the array. Although several space wind blades were activated and killed several people in the process, the array still broke under the combined force of the masses.
Nearly 200 people rushed frantically to the cave entrance in front of them, which was emanating a blue light.
