Perfect World: Sword of Legends

Chapter 131 Phoenix Blood Baptism
In comparison, the disciples from the Ten Lands seemed few and far between. Apart from Yun Ying, there was not a single young supreme being.

Once the competition begins, the cultivation resources provided by the academy will definitely be monopolized by those young supremes. Except for the people behind them who can get a share of the benefits, others can only watch helplessly.

"You have to take advantage of what you deserve. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Sometimes, you just have to be thick-skinned."

Yunying smiled slightly.

When these words were spoken, Qingyi and Fengwu both laughed. This was not something an ordinary woman would say, so only Yunying could say it.

If Yunying had not been so beautiful, they would have definitely suspected that Yunying was a man. Sometimes she spoke too boldly and bluntly.

Two months passed quietly.

In the cave, the essence of heaven and earth surged and turned into clouds and mist that filled every place.

Yunying sat cross-legged on the jade platform, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and improving her cultivation.

I don’t know how long it took, but a wave spread out, and a misty light flowed from Yunying’s body. Countless portals in her body were glowing, and the gaps in the portals seemed to have widened a little.

After a while, Yun Ying opened her eyes, and the light in her body gradually faded away.

The middle stage of Void Dao Realm!
After more than two months of practice and accumulation, Yunying's cultivation level broke through again.

During this period, all matters concerning the Tianshen Academy have been finalized, the academy has begun operation, and the top management has begun to train disciples.

On this day, a little Taoist boy came with many things.

"Greetings, Senior Sister. These are some classics and jade books that the academy's leaders asked me to send to you, as well as precious and sacred medicines, and a magical medicine."

As he spoke, the little Taoist boy put down the things one by one. As for the medicinal herbs, he stored them in the jade box.

Especially the magical medicine, which was sealed with runes, because the magical medicine has already developed intelligence and will run away on its own.

Seeing the things sent by these academies, Yun Ying's eyes showed a strange look. Not to mention those classics and jade books, although they are not very rare, they are also useful for ordinary Void Dao Realm cultivators.

However, that magical medicine can be considered a big deal.

There is a magical medicine garden in the academy, where many medicinal herbs and magical medicines are grown, all of which are used to train disciples.

Originally, the academy's top management should have planned to let the disciples compete for these rare cultivation resources, but Yun Ying was already the first disciple in the academy to reach the Void Dao Realm.

Therefore, the academy's top management would directly send her a magical medicine and would not let her compete with other disciples for it.

"That's quite clever," Yun Ying whispered.

If she were to compete with others for cultivation resources, the result would be predictable: all would be hers.

"sorry to bother you."

Yunying handed a jade box containing holy medicine to the little Taoist boy.

"You are too polite, Senior Sister. It is my blessing to be able to do this little thing for you."

The little Taoist boy happily put away the jade box. He found that every time he came here, he could get huge benefits. Last time it was a semi-divine medicine, and this time it was a holy medicine.

I have to say that this beautiful senior sister is really generous.

If it were anyone else, even those young supremes, they would not even bother to pay any attention to them, let alone reward them with semi-divine medicine and holy medicine.

"There is one more thing, Senior Sister. Seven days later, the academy's Phoenix Blood Pool will be opened. At that time, you will be the first person to enter the Phoenix Blood Pool for baptism."

The little Taoist boy continued.

"Phoenix Blood Pool, I understand," Yun Ying nodded.

She was somewhat surprised that the Heavenly God Academy could obtain the Phoenix Blood Pool. The Ten Evils had been extinct in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for a long time. Whether it was real dragon blood, phoenix blood, or the blood of the other Ten Evils, they were all extremely rare.

Not to mention a pool of blood, which is even harder to find in the world.

She estimated that the Phoenix Blood Pool should have been dug out from the ancient immortal cave.

"Sister, I will come to pick you up in seven days."

After the little Taoist boy finished speaking, he turned and left.

Yun Ying placed the classics and jade books in the bamboo house and did not move them into the cave. She liked to read in open places.

Then, she looked at the jade box that contained the magic medicine, and wiped away the runes on it with her jade hand.

With a click, the jade box opened and a streak of light flew out and was about to fade away.

Yun Ying grabbed the light in the air, and it fell into his palm, just like it fell into the Five Finger Mountain.

It was a plant as black as ink, a two-foot-long vine, crystal clear, like black jade, flowing with divine light, and at this moment it was trembling in Yunying's palm.

Black Jade Vine, a rare magical medicine.

"Please spare me, sir, please don't eat me!"

This black jade vine emitted divine thoughts and was extremely frightening.

"As long as you behave yourself, I won't hurt your origin."

Yun Ying said this and put it into the cave to keep the sunflower company.

Then she sat down and looked through the classics and jade books that had been sent to her.

Five days passed, and Yunying had read all the classics and jade books.

These classics and jade books are indeed about the realm of Xu Dao Realm. They are neither high nor low. They are useful to Yun Ying, but not much. She guessed that the academy’s top management found them for her specially with good intentions.

However, they don’t know that their kindness doesn’t seem to have accomplished much.

"In the Void Dao Realm, one merges with the Dao of heaven and earth, comprehends the profound meaning of the Dao, and harnesses the power of heaven and earth. However, using one's body as a seed is somewhat different. One's own human body is the universe, and one opens up the Dao within the body, unrestricted by heaven and earth."

Yun Ying put down the jade book in her hand, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

These days, after studying all the classics and jade books, she realized the specialness of having one's body as a seed.

Yun Ying absorbed all the ways of the heavens and the earth through the way of the sword, embarked on the path of using his body as a seed, and opened up a universe within his body. He was no longer restricted by the heavens and the earth. His body was the way of the sword, and his body was the unity of all the ways of the heavens and the earth.

Now, she can not only harness the power of heaven and earth, but also exert her own sword power without the help of the power of heaven and earth.

In her case, it would be more accurate to say that her swordsmanship is the seed rather than her body. She is not completely isolated from the outside world and can still control the power of the outside world through swordsmanship.

Kendo is her connection with the outside world.

If one day, the heaven and earth collapse and the great way no longer exists, it will not have much impact on her.

"As for the saying that using one's body as a seed is to cut off the path, I think it is because the predecessors were too ambitious. As soon as they arrived, they wanted to completely cut off the connection with the outside world and make their own way supreme, leaving no room for any leeway."

"It's not impossible, but the risk is very high. It can be said to be an act against heaven. It would not be surprising if it would bring about divine punishment."

"Of course, if it can be successful, it will definitely be a great feat. Unfortunately, it is not that easy. Only those with great luck can achieve it."

Yunying pondered and thought about all the things involved.

Another two days passed, and the little Taoist boy arrived, "Senior Sister, today is the day when the Phoenix Blood Pool is opened. You are the first person to enter the Phoenix Blood Pool. Please follow me."

"Okay," Yun Ying nodded, and then followed the little Taoist boy to a place deep in the academy.

There is a large formation in front, blocking all detection. Two old men are guarding outside the formation. They are the two elders of the academy.

Seeing the little Taoist boy bringing Yunying here, the two elders verified Yunying's identity and simultaneously made hand gestures to open a portal in the formation.

“Girl, in terms of cultivation, you are the best in our academy. When the Phoenix Blood Pool opens, you are the first to enter for baptism. It is a great honor. I hope you practice hard in the academy and don’t let the academy down.” An elder said to Yun Ying earnestly.

As the first disciple of the Heavenly God Academy who has reached the Void Dao Realm, Yun Ying can be said to be extremely special. Moreover, she is from the Celestial Clan and has extraordinary bloodline. Some people in the academy's upper echelons pay more attention to her.

"Don't worry, Elder. Yun Ying understands."

Yun Ying bowed to the two elders.

"Well, let's go in."

The two elders nodded with satisfaction.

Entering the formation, a red blood pool with a radius of a thousand feet came into view. The blood was like chalcedony, crystal clear. Thick fairy mist was rolling, and the air was filled with a strong fairy atmosphere.

Faintly, you can still hear the sound of a phoenix.

This pool of phoenix blood was indeed found from an excavated ancient immortal cave. The phoenix had undergone nirvana in it several times, and many immortal essences were scattered there.

Yun Ying took off her clothes and entered the Phoenix Blood Pool, absorbing the immortal essence in the blood pool to baptize herself.

Five days passed in a flash. Outside the formation, the two elders had strange looks in their eyes.

"It's been five days, and she still hasn't completed her transformation? Even though she is in the Void Dao Realm, this shouldn't be the case. Could it be that her foundation is too strong?"

The two elders thought about it. They originally thought that Yun Ying would only stay in there for three days at most and then would come out.

Just as the two elders were surprised, a purple robe emerged and Yun Ying walked out from it.

"It's truly extraordinary."

The two elders looked at Yun Ying with admiration in their eyes. Not to mention her stunning appearance, her temperament alone was unmatched.

Even the two pearls of the Wang family and the Xu family are far inferior to Yunying.

The two elders knew very well that this was a manifestation of the state of mind, which came from the inside out and was extremely rare. It could not be cultivated simply through practice.

"Now that the baptism is over, go back and practice with peace of mind. If you need anything, you can always ask the academy."

"Understood. Yunying will take her leave."

After saying hello, Yun Ying floated away and returned to her own spiritual land.

"Hey, Yunying, you're back. Come here quickly. I got some tea. Come and taste it to see if it's good."

Outside the bamboo house, Fengwu and Qingyi were reading ancient books. When they saw Yunying coming back, they immediately waved to her.

"Since when did you like tea?"

Yunying sat down and looked at Fengwu. She didn't like drinking tea, so why would she go and get some tea leaves?

"Although I don't like drinking tea, as the saying goes, you should be grateful if you take something from someone, and you should be grateful if you eat something from someone. I took advantage of you, so I have to give you something in return."

"You only have one hobby, which is drinking tea. Qingyi and I went to get some tea leaves."

Feng Wu said this and started to make tea.

"After asking around, I found that there are not many disciples in this academy who like to drink tea. Instead, the elders have this hobby. We simply bought some from the elders. It's called Misty Rain Tea."

Qingyi said with a smile.

"You are interested."

Yun Ying smiled slightly. She had just finished her cup of Wanhua tea and was thinking about going out to buy some good tea.

After a while, the aroma of tea wafted up, fresh and natural, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees after the rain.

"Come on, sir, how about trying this Misty Rain Tea?"

Feng Wu poured Yun Ying a cup of tea. The tea was light green, with wisps of mist rising and floating above the surface of the cup, like a hazy rain mist, which was very special.

Yun Ying took a sip, her eyes brightened slightly, "Good tea."

Hearing the name Yunying, Qingyi and Fengwu both laughed. The fact that Yunying, a tea drinking expert, recognized this Misty Rain Tea meant that it was indeed good.

"Yun Ying, I heard that you are the first person to enter the Phoenix Blood Pool for baptism. Is that true?"

Feng Wu asked curiously.

"Yeah," Yun Ying nodded.

"They said that only core disciples can enter the Phoenix Blood Pool for baptism in turn. Other formal disciples need to compete. People like us will definitely not have a turn."

Feng Wu said with some regret that when they arrived at Tianshen Academy, their strength was far from enough.

Not to mention that they have not yet broken through to the Heavenly God Realm. Even if they have broken through to the Heavenly God Realm, there are many Heavenly God Realm masters in this academy, and many of them are at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm.

"Don't be anxious. Practice at your own pace. If you can't win, then don't force it."

Yunying smiled.

"You are quite open-minded, but who can compete with you? You always become stronger without anyone noticing, like a monster."

Feng Wu curled her lips.

This sentence made Qingyi who was standing by laugh. She also felt that Yunying was like a monster, and her strength was changing day by day.

"This is my path, my life. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. I can't stop. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How is the little rabbit? I don't seem to have seen her recently."

Yunying changed the subject.

"She is now the treasure of the academy. An important person wants to keep her with him for a while."

Feng Wu replied, feeling happy for the little rabbit, but also a little envious.

After finishing the conversation, Yun Ying returned to the cave and began to retreat.

After being baptized in the Phoenix Blood Pool, a large amount of immortal essence had accumulated in her body, which had not yet been completely refined.

If she hadn't quit while she was ahead, she could have stayed in the Phoenix Blood Pool for at least another month or two, until she had swallowed all the immortal essence in the pool.

But she was not that crazy after all, and she came out after five days.

Three months later, the tightly closed door of the cave opened and Yun Ying walked out.

She went straight to the outside of the bamboo house, sat down, took out the Misty Rain Tea leaves that Fengwu and Qingyi had given her, and started to brew tea.

"It's the late stage of Xu Dao Realm," Yun Ying whispered.

The next realm is the Kill Me Realm, after which comes the Escape First Realm, and above the Escape First Realm there is a special realm, the Supreme Realm.

It is said that only by stepping into the supreme realm can one have a chance to become an immortal, which means that this realm is very important.

In the Nine Heavens, many people call the cultivators who have reached the First Level of Escape the Supreme Beings, but that is an imprecise statement. In the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there are only a few true Supreme Beings, and they can be counted on one hand.

"Perhaps to outsiders, my cultivation speed is already shocking, but in fact it is not enough, I need to be faster."

Yunying muttered to herself.

The higher your cultivation, the higher your realm, and the higher your state of mind, the stronger your sense of the mysterious will be.

Ever since Yun Ying entered the Void Dao Realm, her feeling has become stronger and stronger.
