Watching Ye Xinran and Jin Xiaoya enter the pressure zone, the remaining disciples followed one after another.
“Hmm? It really does feel a little different. It’s rather comfortable.”
The moment she stepped into the pressure zone, Ye Xinran sensed that pressure truly existed there.
But to her, this pressure was very comfortable.
Hearing Ye Xinran’s words, Jin Xiaoya, who was standing nearby, was stunned.
Comfortable? Did we enter the same place?
Although the pressure wasn’t as strong at the beginning as it was deeper inside, it certainly shouldn’t be described as comfortable.
The two advanced quickly and soon arrived at the middle section.
In an instant, Jin Xiaoya felt the pressure suddenly increase by a considerable amount.
“No wonder Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao slowed down so much when they reached this section.”
The pressure here increased drastically in layers. Even Heaven’s Chosen like them were forced to slow down.
Just as Jin Xiaoya was about to ask Ye Xinran about the situation, she froze.
Ye Xinran was charging forward at almost undiminished speed.
???
Another large batch of question marks appeared in Jin Xiaoya’s mind.
Did we really enter the same place? I have to ask.
Seeing this, Jin Xiaoya also circulated her spiritual power and increased her speed.
However, she still couldn’t catch up with Ye Xinran.
Ahead, Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao had already entered the deepest area.
Facing another drastic increase in pressure, the two began to go all out.
Talent activated!
A burst of seven-colored light emerged from Lin Tianci’s chest, while Xuanyuan Hao’s aura surged throughout his body, and a blurry phantom projection resembling primordial chaos appeared behind him.
Seeing Xuanyuan Hao’s condition, Lin Tianci’s pupils contracted slightly.
“That is... the Primal Chaos Sacred constitution!”
This was the first time he had learned of Xuanyuan Hao’s constitution.
However, he was merely somewhat surprised.
After all, his supreme divine bone was not inferior.
Besides, if someone ranked ahead of him had inferior talent, that would be strange.
“Your supreme divine bone isn’t bad either.”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao also noticed Lin Tianci’s condition.
Just as they were preparing to continue forward, a figure in white robes instantly swept past them and charged toward Profound Heaven Lake at incredible speed.
Lin Tianci: ???
Xuanyuan Hao: ???
“That is... Sword intent?”
Xuanyuan Hao noticed an unusual fluctuation emanating from the figure in white robes.
It was precisely the primordial sword intent surrounding Ye Xinran.
The instant she entered this final section, Ye Xinran released a trace of sword intent to resist the pressure.
Then she shot straight through.
“What powerful sword intent! To comprehend such sword intent at this age... How formidable!”
Lin Tianci was deeply shaken by this.
The two exchanged a glance.
They both saw helplessness and wry smiles on each other’s faces.
Their vaunted talent had been utterly crushed.
But soon, the two adjusted their mindsets, and their blood began to burn anew.
We won’t compare ourselves with her. The two of us only need to compete with each other.
Behind them, Jin Xiaoya stood frozen in place as she watched Ye Xinran race all the way ahead.
What kind of talent was this?
At that moment, Ye Xinran had already Cleared the trial and arrived at the edge of Profound Heaven Lake.
“The spiritual energy in Profound Heaven Lake is even denser than in the other parts of the secret realm!”
Ye Xinran took a deep breath, spread her arms, spun around once, and exclaimed in amazement.
Subsequently, she sat down cross-legged and began cultivation.
After the time it takes to burn half an incense stick.
Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao also successfully Cleared the trial and arrived at the lakeside.
Seeing Ye Xinran Cultivating, the two immediately followed suit.
With spiritual energy this dense, cultivation here could be said to be extraordinarily effective.
Another half an incense stick later, Jin Xiaoya also arrived at the lakeside and began cultivation like the other three.
Within the pressure zone, the disciples struggled forward one after another, but most of them could not pass through the final layer.
Soon, an hour had passed.
Just as the four people were concentrating on cultivation, the spirit mist above the lake gradually dispersed, revealing a mirror-like surface.
The next moment, a vortex appeared on the lake’s surface, shining with blue light.
This disturbance immediately drew the attention of the four people.
Seeing such a change on the lake’s surface, the four people stopped Cultivating.
“Is this a passage?”
Looking at the vortex glowing with blue light, Ye Xinran asked curiously.
“It should be.”
Jin Xiaoya nodded, though she was not entirely certain either.
“I remember now!”
Xuanyuan Hao, who was standing nearby, suddenly shouted excitedly.
This shout immediately drew the gazes of the other three.
“I can’t believe it’s real!”
Meeting the three people’s questioning gazes, Xuanyuan Hao grew even more excited.
“I’ve read some records about the Trial Secret Realm. They say that beneath Profound Heaven Lake lies a world within a world containing immense creation opportunities.”
“Creation opportunities? What could they be?” Lin Tianci asked curiously.
“I don’t know. There was no specific record, only that they are extraordinary.”
Xuanyuan Hao shook his head.
“Wouldn’t we know once we go inside and take a look?”
Without another word, Ye Xinran immediately jumped into the vortex first.
Seeing this, Jin Xiaoya and the other two hurriedly followed.
Within the void.
“That girl really is incredibly bold.”
Seeing Ye Xinran leap into the vortex without hesitation, Ye Chang’an shook his head with a wry smile.
“Let’s go. We should head in too. That thing is about to awaken.”
.....
Within Profound Heaven Lake.
This was a world of deep blue.
Translucent blue crystals were scattered in every direction.
At the very center of the space, a Spirit Spring wreathed in spirit mist accentuated the area, making it resemble a celestial paradise.
“The concentration of spiritual energy here is actually even higher than on the lake’s surface.”
Jin Xiaoya couldn’t help exclaiming.
“These crystal stones can be refined and absorbed!”
Ye Xinran’s voice suddenly came from nearby.
The other three followed the sound and looked over.
Ye Xinran was refining and absorbing a Blue Crystal.
Moreover, everyone could sense the immense energy contained within the Crystal Stone.
After making this discovery, the four people seemed to realize something.
Their gazes swept across the surroundings.
The one thing this space had no shortage of was blue crystals!
At this thought, everyone except Ye Xinran was overjoyed.
The reason Ye Xinran remained relatively calm was that she had more than enough resources.
However, she did not mind having a few more.
“What is that spring?”
Ye Xinran walked toward the spring in the center and asked.
“It seems the spiritual energy is dispersing from here.”
Watching the spirit mist billow and disperse from the water’s surface, Ye Xinran made a discovery.
Seeing this, she sat down directly and began cultivation, just as she had done beside Profound Heaven Lake.
Unlike before, this time she absorbed spiritual energy extremely quickly.
Spiritual energy instantly enveloped Ye Xinran, swirling around her before rapidly rotating and being drawn into her body at a terrifying speed.
Clearly, Ye Xinran had not seriously absorbed spiritual energy before.
The sight left the three people in the distance completely stunned.
“That speed... It’s terrifying!”
Xuanyuan Hao couldn’t help saying.
“How about we absorb these crystal stones instead? Cultivating by the spring is probably impossible now.”
After saying this, Jin Xiaoya began refining and absorbing the crystal stones.
As for going over to the spring?
Being able to absorb even a trace of spiritual energy would count as whatever Ye Xinran left behind.
Seeing this, Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao also knew their own limits and each walked toward the vast expanse of crystal stones.
