Chapter 1228 - 1228 Blood Red
For her convenience, Xiao Zhen and Zhi Tong had already moved everything inside. At this moment, the entire space was empty and there were no obstacles!
Jian Ai, Yu Wuyuan, and Chi Lian came to the laboratory and sat cross-legged on the ground in the middle.
Jian Ai pursed her thin lips. At this moment, she could feel her heart beating faster. She knew she could not help but feel nervous.
However, this nervousness was also a little complicated. Not only was she afraid that she would suffer a backlash if she failed to advance, but she also had the anticipation of successfully advancing.
“Don’t be afraid. We’re here!” Yu Wuyuan said calmly.
Chi Lian also said, “Don’t worry, Sect Master. Nothing will happen.”
The two of them were like two calming pills that relieved Jian Ai’s nervous mood. She nodded slightly. “Let’s begin!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them closed their eyes simultaneously. Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian were the first to open their arms. In an instant, two powerful airflows broke out of their bodies and filled the laboratory space almost instantly.
The first and most important requirement for advancement was an endless stream of spiritual energy. Because of the pollution of the environment on Earth, there was very little pure spiritual energy. What Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian were doing now was releasing the spiritual energy in their bodies for Jian Ai to absorb.
Anyone who cultivated could feel the spiritual energy in the air, so Jian Ai immediately felt the rich and pure spiritual energy around her. She couldn’t help but secretly exclaim at Yu Wuyuan’s and Chi Lian’s strength.
“Sect Master!” Yu Wuyuan called out, showing that Jian Ai could start!
Hearing this, Jian Ai crossed her hands and placed them on her legs. Then, she controlled the genuine energy in her dantian’s sea of Qi.
Her thoughts controlled the genuine energy flow and it slowly flowed from her dantian’s sea of Qi to her limbs…
Three days later…
“Why isn’t it over yet?”
In the living room, Bai Zhou was so anxious that his hair turned white… Oh, his hair was originally white.
Xiao Zhen sat on the sofa calmly and watched Bai Zhou pace back and forth in front of him like an ant on a hot pan. He couldn’t help but say, “Didn’t Yu Wuyuan explain that there’s no specific time for advancement? They didn’t come out, so it’s not over. It’s useless for you to be anxious!”
Bai Zhou naturally remembered Yu Wuyuan’s words, but it had been three days!
Yu Wuyuan said that he used eighteen hours at that time. Three days was seventy-two hours!
“Three days is too long. Have you used such a long time?” Bai Zhou looked at the others and asked.
Chi Yang shook his head. “I only used seven hours.”
Si Yue said calmly, “I used seventeen hours.”
Zhi Tong answered obediently, “I used fifteen hours.”
When Bai Zhou heard this, he looked at Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen was helpless, but he answered, “I used fifteen hours too!”
“Look!” Bai Zhou stomped his feet agitatedly. “None of you have been in there for more than a day, right? It’s been three days. Could there be any danger?”
Xiao Zhen immediately frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense. With Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian around, nothing will happen!”
In the beginning, Bai Zhou thought so too. However, as time passed and as he was not a cultivator, he knew nothing about advancement, and he could not help but be anxious.
There were two others who were as anxious as him, and they were Irene and Andrew.
The two of them sat at the side and listened to their words like they were heavenly books. Why were they so anxious? They didn’t understand.
“Should we go up and take a look?” Bai Zhou suddenly said. He felt he would go crazy if he waited any longer. He was worried that something had already happened to the Sect Master.
“She can’t be distracted during her advancement!” Xiao Zhen reminded him. “Besides, that room is filled with Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian’s powerful spiritual energy. The moment you open the door, you will be dispersed by their spiritual energy, and your body will turn into ashes that are thinner than after you’re cremated!”
Bai Zhou: “…”
“Brother Bai Zhou, I advise you to wait quietly. The Sect Master might differ from us and needs more time. Before they come out, the only thing we can do is wait quietly!” Si Yue also comforted Bai Zhou’s restless heart.
“Sit down,” Zhi Tong said weakly.
Bai Zhou held his forehead. After thinking about it, he couldn’t do anything else. He was only anxious.
Fortunately, the others’ calm expressions made him feel a little relieved. He walked to the sofa and sat down. Bai Zhou couldn’t help but mutter, “I hope everything goes smoothly…”
In the room, Jian Ai was still advancing. However, her consciousness had already entered the illusory realm, and her body had entered an unprecedented empty shield state. She could not sense the passage of time, let alone know that she had advanced for three days!
Her body was already drenched in sweat. Jian Ai continuously absorbed the genuine energy released by Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian. Because their spiritual energy was too rich, Jian Ai’s skin was burning red and faintly emitting white smoke.
Her body and mind were trying to break through the bottleneck. In the illusory realm, Jian Ai could feel a powerful force wanting to break out of her body and break through the bottleneck to go to a higher realm.
Two days later, this power had already reached its limit in her meridians and limbs. Jian Ai’s entire body was swollen and hot. She felt that her internal organs, skin, and blood vessels were constantly contracting and expanding. That feeling was like a sharp sword that pierced through her heart. It was as if her entire body was no longer hers and she was on the verge of losing control.
The surrounding spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic. Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian felt the agitated airflow and opened their eyes to look at Jian Ai. However, they saw that Jian Ai was drenched in sweat. Her skin had turned blood-red, and it was very terrifying!
Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian revealed looks of horror because the Sect Master’s appearance was too strange. Even if her skin was red from the abundance of spiritual energy, it would not reach this level.
It was a blood-red color as if it soaked her entire body in blood.
At this moment, Jian Ai suddenly revealed a pained expression. The powerful force in her body seemed to have the intention of flowing back because it could not rush out. Jian Ai used all her strength to control it because once this power flowed back, she knew what it meant. She might suffer a backlash from this powerful force and her body would explode and die!
