Chapter 1167: Mother and Daughter Talk

The sight of thunderclouds gathering over the Shenri Palace could not be hidden from the eyes of everyone on the island. While there were people like Qingzhi and Lezhu who were extremely happy about it, there were also people who viewed this scene as a source of great hatred in their hearts.

In the Baojing Palace, the pearl curtains swayed and bright light spread everywhere.

Yaojun sat upright in front without saying a word, while Changying knelt down below her with a solemn look in her eyes. Although she tried her best to calm herself down, some worries still showed in her expression, like an indelible haze, deeply engraved between her brows.

After a long while, Yaojun reached out her hand and asked the person in front of her to sit closer to her. Changying was slightly stunned, but he didn't think about it and moved forward immediately. However, the next moment, someone grabbed his shoulder and asked in a cold voice, "Liu Xuan is just a person who has passed the tribulation. Why are you so afraid of her?"

This scolding was like a thunderclap, which shook Changying's whole body. He couldn't help but show a bit of panic and whispered, "Mother, I..."

Yao Jun hated to see her like this, so she frowned, sneered, waved her hand and pointed outside the Baojing Palace, and said, "You are afraid of her now, how can you compete with her in the future? If you are so timid, you might as well commit suicide immediately and hand over the Emperor Wuxue to others, which will save me a lot of hard work."

These few words made Changying blush and feel ashamed and angry. She immediately fell down at her mother's knees and said with tears in her eyes, "It's my daughter's fault. I hope you can calm down."

"You'd better really know that you are wrong, so that my years of hard work will not be in vain." Yao Jun did not help her up immediately, but sneered, "All the emperor's sons and daughters have come this way. Between our clan, between the three clans, since you have embarked on this path, you can no longer do whatever you want. This Liu Xuan is nothing. When you get through this, you will find out which one of Ling Yi and Xu Xu is easy to get along with. Hurry up and put away your weak heart, so as not to make people laugh."

He then scolded Chang Ying harshly, and Yao Jun softened her expression a little. He then held her in his arms again and sighed, "It's a pity that Liu Xuan is very cunning. Not long after the Shenglaizhou incident, she used an excuse to escape from the Shenri Palace. Otherwise, I would have had thousands of ways to kill her. Now I can only watch her make a breakthrough. It's really hateful.

"Fortunately, she can't delay the fight for the Emperor Crow Blood for many years. If she was willing to lie dormant for a while longer, I would be a little worried about you. Now it seems that she will take the initiative in no more than ten years, or even dozens of years."

Changying stood up, not knowing why his mother was so sure, so he asked, "Why?"

  Logically speaking, since he had broken through before Liu Xuan, the latter should have practiced for a longer period of time to be sure of defeating her. How could she catch up with the gap after she refined the Emperor Crow Blood in just a few decades?

Yaojun raised her lips, stroked her daughter's face with her hand, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Although I am just guessing, there is a 70% to 80% chance that Liu Xuan will take advantage of Zhao Yu's stay on the island to compete with you for the position of the Emperor's daughter, and Zhao Yu has made an agreement with Your Majesty that she will not stay on the island for long after she finishes her training, so this matter must be resolved in at least a few decades."

Chang Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, and she lowered them for a moment, then whispered, "My daughter should work hard on her cultivation and will never lose to her again."

Yaojun hummed lightly, but handed a talisman to Changying's hand, and said with a smile: "I have reserved one spot for you to enter the blood pool for cultivation this time. You take this thing to find the elders of the clan, and you can enter the medium-sized blood pool to cultivate for ten years. I don't believe that you can't make Liu Xuan surrender with this." Thinking of this, she felt much more relieved, and was just waiting to see the day when Liu Xuan was defeated by Changying.

Two days later, Liu Xuan had not yet completed her tribulation, but Chang Ying and the others had already followed Tao Fei into the forbidden area of ​​the Blood Pool. As descendants of the Golden Crow, their reaction to this kind of place was naturally much greater than Zhao Yu's. Although most of the people standing here were not coming here for the first time, they still felt a surge of heat coming towards them when they stepped into the place, which made their blood boil and their hearts beat fast.

At this time, several tribesmen behind Chang Ying whispered, "Such a precious place is being used by a foreigner. It's really a waste of natural resources."

Knowing that they were talking about Zhao Yu, Changying recalled the words her mother had warned her before. Within the ten-year period, Zhao Yu came out of the pass in only seven years, making her plan to escape from the pass go down the drain. Now within the fifty-year period, it was unclear when Zhao Yu would break out of the pass, so the time left for her was really not much.

Changying was outside, worried and full of thoughts, but Zhao Yu, who was only a few dozen feet away from him in the blood pool, was completely unaware of this.

Twenty-seven years have passed since she entered this medium-sized blood pool. Most of the medicinal power in the pool has entered Zhao Yu's body, so the color of the pool water is not as good as before. Now it is a crystal clear light red, like a piece of red agate, bright and dazzling.

From a distance, it seemed that Zhao Yu was wrapped in the agate, sitting cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky. Three inches below his navel, there seemed to be an underwater vortex, causing the water in the pool to swirl and flow there. Streams of extremely pure medicinal power were drawn from the water and captured into his dantian without loss. They were then taken up by his true energy and filled into various meridians and acupoints.

Outside of his body, a cluster of golden-red flames sank into the water. It was not moved by the water at all. It simply swallowed the medicinal power in the water in big gulps, keeping some of it to strengthen itself, and then fed some of the pure medicinal power back to Zhao Yu's dantian to help him go further.

  This time, there was no Chi Fu to hinder her cultivation, and Zhao Yu did not need to drive the strange fire to stimulate the medicinal power in the pool. She had a smooth journey, and it took her only twenty-seven years to refine at least 80% of the medicinal power in the medium-sized blood pool. She did some calculations and made a conservative estimate that she could completely refine the remaining 20% ​​within five years, which would be far shorter than the deadline of fifty years!

Zhao Yu slowed down her breathing and turned her gaze towards her body. She saw that on the platform, a wisp of infant soul that looked like her was about to settle down, indicating that decades of hard practice had made her make great progress in her spirit and soul. With just one more step forward, she would be able to completely open up this spiritual barrier, condense the Danyu, and enter the middle stage of externalization.

In Zhao Yu's heart, of course, she felt that the sooner it was accomplished, the better, but she was not the kind of person who was impatient for success. If she forced herself to do so before the time was right, it would damage her own foundation. Therefore, in order to open the spiritual gate, she had to take it slow and let it come naturally.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she calmed down her breath again, and did not slow down at all in refining the medicinal power of the blood pool. If this unbridled attitude of practice had been seen by the few people who had followed Changying earlier, it would have attracted a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
