Free Web NovelChapter 467: Chapter 467: Gu Yuexi Comes Out of Seclusion, Empress Yuehua’s Provocation
Military Headquarters Command Base.
Another month passed after his conversation with Empress Yuehua.
For the entire month, Chu Sheng was completely immersed in his Cultivation, shutting out the rest of the world.
His daily routine consisted of studying the blueprints for the spatial channel, then frantically absorbing the Energy from Outer Realm source crystals. He would sleep when he was tired and continue as soon as he woke up.
This simple, monotonous life, where his power grew at a startling pace, left him feeling incredibly fulfilled.
Inside the quiet Cultivation room.
Chu Sheng slowly raised a source crystal—it was the last one. In just one month, he had completely used up all the source crystals he had stolen from the Alien Race Base.
Sigh.
The rate at which he consumed resources was getting more and more ridiculous.
Even Chu Sheng himself was a little frightened by it.
’Ah, whatever. I might as well absorb this last one.’
「A few hours later.」
He had finished absorbing and digesting the last source crystal.
He could feel that the Qi Blood within his body had reached a critical point.
With a thought, he opened his system panel.
[Host: Chu Sheng]
[Current Qi Blood: 8,000,000 (Ninth-Grade Late Stage)]
[Current Mental Power: 8,000,000 (Ninth-Grade Late Stage)]
The ratio of Qi Blood Energy to Spiritual Energy contained within the Outer Realm source crystals wasn’t fixed. On top of that, the two wisps of Divine Soul will stored in the system would occasionally replenish some of his Mental Power automatically.
As a result, his Qi Blood and Mental Power had once again reached a delicate balance.
With eight million Qi Blood, he had unknowingly reached the Ninth-Grade Late Stage.
Ninth-Grade Late Stage far surpassed the realm requirement for the ninth comprehensive evolution. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Now, all he was missing were the Evolution Points.
Chu Sheng continued to check... After absorbing the Qi Blood Power, his Evolution Points had also increased significantly, reaching...
[Current Evolution Points: 528,000]
’Holy crap, that’s enough too!’
’Doesn’t that mean I can undergo the ninth comprehensive evolution right now?’
Just as Chu Sheng was hesitating about whether to start immediately...
Suddenly, a surge of Qi Blood Energy so powerful that it even surprised him fed back to him without any warning from the Blood Covenant deep within his soul!
This Energy was incomparably pure, surging ceaselessly into every corner of his body and bringing with it a long-missed feeling of comfort.
The sensation lasted for a good ten minutes before slowly subsiding.
Once everything calmed down, Chu Sheng checked his panel again.
[Current Qi Blood: 8,500,000 / 8,000,000 (Ninth-Grade Late Stage)]
Holy crap!
Chu Sheng was shocked.
He had received five hundred thousand Qi Blood Value in an instant!
’This is...’
He carefully sensed the source of the Energy and confirmed that it came from the other end of the soul-bound Blood Covenant.
’It’s Gu Yuexi!’
A mutual feedback mechanism naturally existed between a Master and their Contracted Beast. When one party achieved a major breakthrough, the other would receive corresponding benefits. This was one of the advantages of being a Beast Tamer.
This kind of feedback had always existed between Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi.
But because both of their strengths had been increasing at such a freakishly fast pace, the previous feedback had always seemed insignificant—merely the icing on the cake.
But this time, he had received a full five hundred thousand Qi Blood in one go!
’What did this mean?’
’It meant that Gu Yuexi must have also had an earth-shattering breakthrough!’
’That woman...’
’Is she coming out of seclusion?’
Chu Sheng’s small mosquito eyes lit up slightly.
’In that case, I’ll wait to see the Little Empress first, then I’ll pick a time for my next comprehensive evolution!’
...
「At the same time.」
Deep within the Shennongjia mountain range, on an unnamed peak.
Inside a cave completely sealed by an Array.
A woman with a frosty demeanor and breathtaking beauty slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, the once-calm Spiritual Qi in the cave instantly turned violent, churning madly like boiling water.
Visible vortexes of Spiritual Qi swirled around her, clinging to the cave walls.
But strangely, amid such a terrifying phenomenon, not a single strand of her long, black hair moved.
It was as if nothing in this world could affect her any longer.
A moment later, the woman slowly stood up.
As she rose, all the strange phenomena in the cave subsided in an instant, as if they had never happened.
Gu Yuexi’s seclusion had ended.
She glanced around but didn’t see the familiar little mosquito. However, there wasn’t a hint of surprise on her face.
She raised her hand and formed a few profound hand seals, disabling the layered protective Arrays at the cave’s entrance.
Outside, the sun was bright, and there was still no one in sight.
"Hmph. As expected, he’s run off to fool around somewhere again."
Gu Yuexi murmured to herself. Her voice was cold, but the corners of her lips held a smile she herself hadn’t noticed.
"I’ve received quite a bit of feedback during this time. It seems that little guy has made considerable progress too."
She closed her eyes, preparing to sense Chu Sheng’s general location through their soul-bound Blood Covenant.
But the next second, her brows furrowed tightly.
She found that she couldn’t pinpoint Chu Sheng’s exact location. freeweɓnøvel.com
The Blood Covenant’s connection seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, allowing her only a vague sense of his general direction, but no specific location.
’It can even block a soul-bound Blood Covenant?’
’Did he go to some special place on his own? Or... did something happen to him?’
Gu Yuexi’s gaze instantly turned cold.
She was about to use a Secret Technique to forcefully divine Chu Sheng’s location.
Just then, her gaze suddenly fixed on the distant sky.
A spirit bird made entirely of light was flying in from the horizon. Its Speed was incredible, and it appeared before her in the blink of an eye.
’A technique of the Emperor Realm!’
Gu Yuexi’s eyes grew even more vigilant.
’What’s going on? Why would an Emperor Realm expert seek me out?’
The spirit bird circled her once, then, with a POP, it dissipated into a stream of pure Spiritual Energy...
A woman’s voice—laced with amusement, provocation, and a hint of disdain—resounded in her Sea of Consciousness.
"You’re that mosquito’s Master?"
"Heh, your Contracted Beast is quite bold."
"If you want him back, come to the Great Xia Military Headquarters Command Base."
"Future Empress, is it? Do you dare to come?"
A cold arc slowly formed on Gu Yuexi’s lips.
In this life, ever since her rebirth, she had only one goal.
She feared no challenge and would not be provoked by anyone’s words.
But that didn’t mean she would tolerate someone using what she treasured most to provoke her.
’That mosquito is her Contracted Beast. No one, and I mean no one, can touch him!’
’The Great Xia Military Base?’
’That darn mosquito... what kind of trouble did he get into to be detained there?’
As the Empress from a past life, she naturally knew the location of the Great Xia Military Headquarters. The overlapping Grand Arrays there were indeed formidable.
"Heh."
A soft chuckle escaped her lips.
’Do I dare to come?’
There was no place in this world Gu Yuexi didn’t dare to go.
Without any further delay, her figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the sky, speeding toward Guanzhong Province.
