The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

"Young Master, they probably won't be able to catch up." Qingyu said with some regret, "Even low-level teleportation arrays can be compared to high-level attack arrays."

"It's alright. Anyway, I made it myself, so the cost wasn't too high," Lu Ye said calmly.

"Huh? Young master, you know formations?!"

This was the first time Qingyu had ever heard of this, and she immediately opened her mouth in surprise.

Qingyu was also very familiar with the Four Arts, having come into contact with the cultivation tradition and reached that level.

Knowing the difficulty involved, there is no easy way; they all heavily rely on talent and aptitude, and require hard work after birth.

"I've learned a little bit." Lu Ye nodded and said, "Let's go find the passage to the third level."

“I have a feeling that the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit will probably come after us…” Qingyu thought for a moment and said with a strange expression, “I have a feeling that she is the type who gets more excited the more we run away.”

Lu Ye was speechless. What kind of personality is this?

Shaking his head, Lu Ye said, "If she's still haunting me by then, I'll make her give up the idea of ​​continuing to pursue me."

Lu Ye would only do this once, using an array plate to escape.

If I were to encounter the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit again, and she insisted on taking action, I would have no choice but to oblige.

The second floor was quite large, and the two headed towards the entrance to the third floor. For the next few hours, they were constantly on the move.

Moreover, the number of battles encountered on the second floor was significantly greater than on the first floor.

Almost every few thousand miles, one can see cultivators fighting fiercely over cultivation resources.

Along the way, the number of corpses also increased.

The cruelty of the Heavenly Palace only began to gradually emerge after reaching the second level.

Among these fallen cultivators, there were a few that Lu Ye found somewhat familiar, as they were people who had been waiting for him not far from the Yunlan River.

...

Half a day later.

The two also found many medicinal herbs on the second floor.

Two of these locations were guarded by ferocious beasts, but when they encountered Qingyu, who had just advanced in rank, they were beaten so badly that they ran away screaming without Lu Ye even having to lift a finger.

Knowing that his previous breakthrough had consumed a considerable amount of spiritual herbs and elixirs, he realized that he had used up a lot of spiritual medicine and elixirs.

Qingyu is now very interested in collecting resources.

After collecting them, he excitedly handed them over to Lu Ye.

Meanwhile, also on the second floor, on the other side, the group from Lingyao Heavenly Palace arrived at a special area.

They were in a vast, boundless swamp, in a very remote location.

Apart from these Heavenly Palace disciples, there was no one else for the time being.

However, everyone, including Sang Xiyao, looked solemn at this moment.

Because there is some kind of no-fly zone in this swamp, it is impossible to fly through it.

Undoubtedly, many ferocious swamp crocodiles lurk within the swamp, sensing the fresh prey that seeks to enter. They are all eyeing the area with predatory intent, ready to attack at any moment.

These swamp crocodiles are not the low-level ferocious beasts that are commonly found in the outside world, which are usually only first or second tier.

Any one of them, picked at random, is at least level four!

There were quite a few at the fifth and sixth tiers as well. The reason Sang Xiyao and the others refused to leave such a dangerous and highly restrictive place was because…

Beyond this swamp lies a small lake, and within the lake grows a patch of azure lotus!

The Azure Lotus is a sixth-grade spiritual herb. Even if the lotus seeds are not refined into pills, they can be consumed directly and can significantly increase the cultivation level of cultivators in the Earth Realm and below!
Sang Xiyao even vaguely saw two Azure Lotus plants that had completed their advancement and reached the seventh rank among those Azure Lotus plants!

The addition of the word "spirit" makes the effect even more terrifying; even cultivators at the Heavenly Realm would be envious.

“Fellow Daoist Xi Yao, this swampy land is far too dangerous. There are severe restrictions on flying, which means that if we want to enter, we can only face those ferocious swamp crocodiles. Perhaps... we should just give up?”

A disciple of the Heavenly Palace examined it carefully and ultimately made this suggestion.

Although the Azure Lotus is wondrous, it is clear that this swampy land is also an absolute death zone.

If you're not careful, you'll become food for the swamp crocodiles!
However, quite a few Heavenly Palace disciples showed a hint of longing for the Azure Lotus in that lake.

This is an absolute treasure!
"They're just a bunch of ferocious crocodiles that can only live in the mud. There's no need to be overly cautious. If we form a formation, we have a good chance of breaking through," said one of the early-stage Earth Realm cultivators with a mark on his face.

Upon hearing this, more than half of the dozen or so people from the Heavenly Palace were somewhat tempted.

Unexpectedly, after taking a couple of glances, Sang Xiyao said solemnly, "You only saw the ferocious crocodile in front of you. Have you considered that... what might also exist in that lake?"

"If you really want to take action, my advice is to find someone to help you, which can reduce a lot of danger."

Upon hearing this, the people were taken aback, and at the same time, they felt a chill in their hearts. Indeed, they had forgotten to consider the situation of that deep lake.

If there are unknown things in the lake as well... then we'll be caught in a pincer movement.

However, soon, someone understood what Sang Xiyao meant. She meant that with their current strength, it would be very dangerous for them to enter together.

But if we bring that person along, could the danger be reduced?

Who is it?

A person from the Heavenly Palace asked curiously, "Fairy Xiyao, who is this helper you mentioned? If he has such abilities, it is indeed worth inviting him over for a gathering."

"At that time, we can distribute according to work. Whoever puts in more effort will get the lion's share. It's better than the current situation where everyone can see the benefits but no one can actually get them."

As soon as the suggestion was made, all of the dozen or so Heavenly Palace disciples present nodded in agreement.

This is the truth.

Being able to eat a little is better than just watching helplessly.

Sang Xiyao pondered for a moment and said, "I think you are all familiar with this person, it's... Chen Beixuan."

Leaving aside the commotion and various rumors caused when Chen Beixuan first joined the Heavenly Palace.

Based on the fact that she had subtly overpowered the arrogant Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace when they met at the Yunlan River, it was enough for them to be familiar with her.

Sure enough, upon hearing this name, many people suddenly realized who it was.

If this person were to arrive... it would truly increase our chances of success significantly!

To be able to fight the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace head-on with her domain and even gain a slight advantage in the first clash, she must be a proper Heavenly Realm cultivator!

“Good! If Fellow Daoist Chen can come here, that would be wonderful. I have no objection.”

"I don't have any objection either."

Sang Xiyao immediately nodded, took out her communication jade tablet, and sent a message to Lu Ye...

[Are you there? Are you there... It's urgent!] (End of Chapter)
