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

"Most importantly, my son-in-law helped me cross the boundary barrier that time, which saved me a lot of time."

Qingyu knew perfectly well that if Lu Ye hadn't helped her break through the barrier a second time, she would still be stuck at the ninth level of the mortal realm.

The rest is history. They entered the valley's medicinal garden and plundered the spiritual herbs. It was only because of the young master's influence that Xiao Yudie came to them.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten what she wanted.

Shortly after Qingyu completed her breakthrough, commotion also came from the area where Lu Ye was cultivating.

This time, it was an even larger storm of Origin Qi, which even stirred up whirlwinds directly above the flowing River of Souls.

Some newly born, weak spirits had nowhere to hide. They used to bring fear to others, but now they could only watch in terror as they were mercilessly torn apart by the terrifying whirlwind.

shhhhhh...

The primal energy storm raged across the river, destroying many nascent spirits along its path like a miniature tornado.

Looking at this scene, Qingyu's mouth opened slightly; this was a sight she had not expected.

I can't believe it...

The vortex of Origin Qi gradually moved towards Lu Ye. Seeing that it seemed to possess considerable power, Qing Yu was about to make a move to disperse the vortex that was about to land.

That is, I saw...

Feng Xuan, who had initially appeared somewhat irritable, suddenly transformed into scattered energy once again, surging towards Lu Ye.

Qingyu: "..."

This ability to make the source energy so obedient and controllable indirectly proves that the son-in-law's control over the source energy of heaven and earth has reached an astonishing level.

"Is the young master also attempting to break through to a higher realm?"

Immediately, Qingyu secretly took out a handful of source crystals from her storage ring and shattered them.

Instantly, the energy within each source crystal overflowed, filling the space.

Just as Qingyu shattered more than a dozen source crystals, she suddenly heard human voices...

"Don't waste your source crystal. This method can only release 60-70% of the energy at most, and the loss is too great. It's unnecessary. I'm confident in my breakthrough."

Qingyu recognized the voice immediately; it was none other than her son-in-law's.

Qingyu paused in her movements. She hadn't expected that, even though they were still hundreds of meters apart, her son-in-law, who was currently undergoing a breakthrough, would know about what was happening on her side.

Is it too audacious to try to do two things at once?

However, this method of using source crystals does involve some losses, and since the son-in-law said he was confident, Qingyu chose to stop.

...

A full hour later.

In the riverside passage, Qingyu suddenly felt a powerful aura, comparable to that of a late-stage Heavenly Realm elder of the Beast Spirit Sacred Mountain, sweep past in an instant.

Then, it returned to nothingness and disappeared.

The next moment, the light barrier disappeared, and Lu Ye landed lightly in front of Qing Yu, smiling as he said, "It seems you really have some savings now, and you don't hesitate to use source crystals so lavishly."

Lu Ye wasn't initially distracted by sensing Qingyu's movements; it was only during the absorption of source energy that he suddenly noticed something different.

Although the energy of source crystals and the energy of source energy of heaven and earth are both types of energy, they are actually different.

Having absorbed thousands of source crystals and being extremely familiar with their energy, Lu Ye could instantly distinguish the difference between the two. Since they were the only two living people present, Lu Ye immediately covered Qingyu's side with his spiritual sense and indeed saw the girl crushing a source crystal, causing its energy to dissipate.

Qingyu didn't say anything. Actually, if it were her, she wouldn't be willing to do that either.

Source crystals are the real hard currency for cultivators. Some people may not like silver, but they would never refuse source crystals.

However, upon realizing that her son-in-law was breaking through to a higher level, she did it without thinking twice.

Even if it only adds a little bit of help, it's still good.

"Huh, why are there so many fewer souls on the River of Souls?" At this moment, Lu Ye noticed the wide, dark River of Souls not far away.

Many of those wandering spirits have disappeared.

Qingyu immediately recounted what had just happened to Lu Ye in a brief manner.

"Is there still this?"

After listening, Lu Ye felt somewhat helpless. He could only say that these vengeful spirits deserved their fate.

"Let's go, we've stayed here for a few days, that's enough."

This place is perpetually dark and filled with a chilling, eerie atmosphere; it's not a comfortable place to stay for long.

Lu Ye, carrying Qingyu, headed towards the passage leading to the ground.

The scene on the Burial Sands remained the same as before; its fearsome reputation meant that almost no one dared to enter.

Because the source of the Soul River has been contained, the number of spirits in the Burial Demon Sands has also decreased significantly.

"Let's go, let's get out." Lu Ye didn't deliberately look for any other Yin spirits. He dealt with everything he saw on the way out of the Burial Demon Plain. After a stick of incense had burned, he left the Burial Demon Plain.

The two Grandmasters of the Western Realm, who had been waiting outside the Burial Demon Plain for about ten days, immediately stepped forward respectfully to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Senior Chen. Greetings, Fairy. Senior Chen, you have been working tirelessly in the Burial Demon Plains for a long time. You must be tired," Yu You said, bowing.

Instead of asking how things were going from the start, I first pointed out how hard Lu Ye had worked these past few days in the forbidden area.

This surprised Lu Ye, who had expected Yu You and the other person to get straight to the point.

Unexpectedly... there was a bit of social etiquette involved first.

However, while the other party didn't bring it up, Lu Ye took the initiative to bring it up.

"There's no need for that. We are all cultivators from Xuanzhou. The stability of the Western Forbidden Land is also beneficial to the other three realms. This time, I found the cause in the Burial Demon Plain and spent some time controlling it. After that, there shouldn't be any new Yin spirits rushing out of the Burial Demon Sands."

Before leaving the Burial Sands, Lu Ye sealed up the exposed underground pit again.

After all, if it's left open like that, and some daring person were to venture into the sand and discover this place, they would probably think there's some kind of opportunity inside.

If by some twist of fate the sealing formation that I just repaired is destroyed...

Therefore, Lu Ye also spent some time filling in the gaps.

After listening to Lu Ye's words, the two from the Western Region, who had been somewhat apprehensive and afraid that Lu Ye would shake his head and say with a heavy expression that he couldn't handle the crisis in the Burial Demon Sands, were completely relieved and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Thank you very much, Senior Chen! Senior Chen's actions are of immeasurable merit to the people of our Western Region!"

Knowing that merely saying it wouldn't seem sincere, Yu You and Zhao Guang exchanged a glance after thinking for a moment, and Yu You spoke first.

"By the way, to express our gratitude for Senior Chen's help, we have a gift for you. We hope you won't refuse..." (End of Chapter)
