The Rise of the Witch

After a long while, the golden light on Yu Xi's body gradually receded into her body and disappeared.

The once thin and sickly girl has now transformed into a beautiful young woman with a well-proportioned figure, rosy cheeks, and delicate features. The colorful markings on her face have added a touch of wildness to her beauty.

Lost in thought, Yu Xi frowned slightly, as if she were dreaming about something. A flash of light appeared on the battle marks on her face, but then gradually disappeared.

"Is she all better?" Xing Yang looked down at Yu Xi, who had changed her appearance. He was not skilled in medicine and could only rely on his spiritual sense to perceive that the girl's blood and energy were active and her body was bursting with spiritual light.

Wa Xin looked at her again and said, "No matter how special her bloodline is, she is still just a mortal. If she can't recover after half a drop of her essence blood, I will have to doubt her identity... Alright, now that she's better, you should leave quickly. Those people outside are getting impatient."

Xing Yang's eyes darted around, and he said, "This is still my apprentice, after all. It's his first time visiting, shouldn't you give him a gift or something?"

Wa Xin stared at him strangely for a long time before finally saying, "You're so shameless!"

Xing Yang didn't take it to heart and said, "You've learned well."

His wife, Su Wenling, could shamelessly ask him for magical treasures for her own cultivation... Gui Ning, with her cold nature, could shamelessly follow him to replenish her energy... Ren Yanzhu and Su Qiantong could also shamelessly ask him for body-tempering techniques and magical treasures...

Xing Yang realized that these people were too pragmatic.

What does shame matter if it helps one's own development?

But thinking about it another way, perhaps it was precisely this carefree attitude that allowed them to achieve success in their spiritual practice...

Many people value face too much, but they don't realize that when a person is in a low position, face is the most useless thing!

This is a transcendent state of mind!

Back in Black Bear Village, Xing Yang only used some of his past life's experience to exchange for a few meals of spiritual food from Mi Xiaoling. He didn't have the nerve to eat and drink for free. In the end, it was because his character wasn't up to par back then.

Wa Xin smiled, deliberately finding fault: "She's your disciple, so she's my junior. It's normal for her to give me a gift when she comes to pay her respects... The question is, did she bow to me?"

Xing Yang immediately grasped Yu Xi's arms, helped her clasp her hands in a gesture of respect, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Yu Xi, pays respects to the Great Heavenly Witch!"

Seeing his strange behavior, even Wa Xin was at a loss for words, shaking her head and saying, "Alright, alright, let me think..."

After a moment of contemplation, he raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a small sphere enveloped in spiritual light in his palm. Floating inside the sphere was a set of golden armor and a golden spear. He said, "These are the only two pieces. No more."

Xing Yang looked down at his arms, which were bulging with a dozen or so peaches, and hesitated before asking, "By the way, are there any storage magic items here?"

Nuwa retorted angrily, "I owe you something!"

He was talking, but he still took out a bag. It was black and made of what seemed to be some kind of tough animal hide. The opening of the bag was tied with some kind of sinew.

Xing Yang happily accepted it. After getting his hands on it, he knew how to use it. He immediately tore open the bag and put the peaches in one by one.

A dozen peaches were thrown in, but the bag didn't bulge at all.

Finally, Xing Yang stuffed the weapon and armor given to him by Wa Xin into the bag, then tied it up tightly with satisfaction and carefully put it into his bosom.

Wa Xin said with a look of disgust, "Alright, get your things and leave. Don't disturb my rest!"

Xing Yang picked up Yu Xi and stood up, saying, "Okay, I'll head back now... By the way, what about those two at the door?"

  

Wa Xin glanced at it and said, "My Ancestral Witch Palace is connected to my mind and spirit, and is in harmony with the Dao of Heaven and Earth. They are immersed in the profound sounds of Heaven and Earth. They will wake up when they leave here. As for whether they can gain any enlightenment and obtain good fortune, it depends on their own destiny."

With a wave of his hand, Su Wenling and Gui Ning, who were still in a daze at the door, suddenly disappeared from the hall.

Xing Yang then said, "Thank you very much. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know... Goodbye!"

She took a few steps out, then suddenly turned back and poured all the fruit, regardless of type, from the tray on the table in front of Wa Xin into her storage bag.

After collecting all the fruit in front of Nuwa's heart, he left with a satisfied smile.

Nuwa glared at him with a stern face, but did not stop him.

……

As Xing Yang carried Yu Xi out of the palace, he saw rays of light emanating from Su Wen's spiritual body on the cliff outside the palace.

Bathed in the glow of the sunset, Su Wenling possessed a stunningly beautiful yet aloof appearance. With her eyes closed, her expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful, yet she gave off a dreamlike and ethereal feeling.

It was as if she would merge into the glow of the sunset at any moment.

A faint, murmuring sound, like celestial music, rose and fell. This sound existed between existence and non-existence, not uttered by any living being, yet it could be uttered by all living beings…

What seem like contradictory statements are actually not contradictory.

Because this is the voice of the true spirit! All beings that possess a true spirit can hear it, but those whose true spirit has not yet awakened will pretend not to hear it.

When Xing Yang opened the heavens to seek the spirit, the witch spirit also roared. Although it was short, it was full of the will of the war witch... bound, frustrated, resisting, fighting, splitting everything!

At this moment, the celestial music is Su Wenling's true spirit, expounding her Dao to heaven and earth!

Her true spirit awoke for the first time, opened its eyes for the first time, and looked at the world, just like a newborn baby's first cry.

She has attained enlightenment! This also means that she has attracted spirits!

At the same time, Gui Ning, who was beside her, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes brimming with spiritual light, and the sword in her arms, even though it was still in its sheath, emitted a soft hum.

After a long while, the celestial music faded, the rosy glow dissipated, and Su Wenling slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still filled with confusion as she looked around.

"Husband?" Su Wenling asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why aren't you going in? Xiao Yu... wait? Xiao Yu?"

Gui Ning's eyes were also filled with doubt. She looked at Su Wenling, then at Xing Yang, and finally her gaze fell on Yu Xi in his arms. Her usually cold face froze, as if she had seen a ghost.

Their memories still lingered from before they stepped into the hall.

They had no memory of what happened after that.

So in their memories, even though they hadn't entered the palace yet, in just a moment, Yu Xi seemed like a completely different person.

"My divine sense..." Gui Ning finally realized, her beautiful eyes widening in shock: "It's recovered? And even advanced further..."

"My cultivation level..." Su Wenling's reaction was no less than hers.

She looked at Xing Yang with surprise and uncertainty: "Husband, I think... I think I've broken through to the Spirit Induction Realm!"

Xing Yang smiled and said, "Your feeling is correct."

Yu Xi in his arms also woke up, blinked blankly, and suddenly put her little hand on Xing Yang's shoulder, exerted force, and lifted herself up from his arms, flipped in mid-air, and landed steadily.

He clenched his fists, kicked his legs, and jumped a few times on the spot, exclaiming with delight, "Master, I'm all better! I feel like I have inexhaustible energy again! And..."

Yu Xi slammed her fist into the void, creating visibly ripples that shook the air.

She lifted her foot and stepped into the air, making the void seem solid, allowing her to step on the void with one foot and cross it with the other, her feet firmly planted in the void!

She stared at her little fist in disbelief, murmuring, "Master, I think I suddenly understand how to use my strength... It's amazing."

Xing Yang suddenly realized which supernatural power she had comprehended.

White-Patterned Divine Power: Shaking Mountains and Earth!

She already possessed terrifying power, but it had only been amplified.

Her greatest achievement was her incredible mastery of her terrifying power!
