After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

After experiencing an upgrade in the Source Water Dream, Lin Heng gradually came to understand the essence of this Source Water Dream.

So he said to Mu Tinglan, "The monsters that appear next will be stronger and stronger. Challenge them as much as possible so that your spiritual root can recover as much as possible."

"Um!"

Mu Tinglan nodded firmly, then subconsciously looked at Lin Heng.

But as she looked at it, she unconsciously became lost in thought...

After all, when she first became Lin Hengxian's slave, she was just glad that she had finally escaped the prison of the Snow-Haired Lion Demon's mansion.

At worst, I'll become his spiritual basin, nourishing his spiritual roots, working tirelessly every day...

But gradually, Mu Tinglan discovered that Lin Heng was completely different from other slave masters.

From granting her equality and freedom to showcasing her exceptional talent for array construction.

Each time, it felt like I was conquering my own heart.

Especially that night at the Xuanji Mine.

She clearly felt that, despite being a celestial slave, she not only did not suffer inhuman treatment, but was not even used as a tool for him to gain benefits.

If one had to pinpoint a purpose, it would simply be to make him, and the territory of the Cloud Oasis, grow stronger and stronger.

But such a purpose is nothing more than the thought that everyone living in the Magic Calendar would have, so what's wrong with that?

And now, he is even able to gradually regain his strength as a fairy...

As she recalled this, Mu Tinglan's eyes were filled with a unique emotion as she looked at Lin Heng.

Because in private, she could clearly sense that this master, who was currently using the immortal techniques he had just learned from her, would gently embrace her neck like a Daoist partner as she nurtured him…

"Stop looking at them, these crayfish are a bit troublesome to deal with!"

Suddenly, Lin Heng's words brought Mu Tinglan back to her senses.

"Oh, Master, don't worry, I'll help you!"

Mu Tinglan quickly responded.

Now, a new monster has appeared on the beach—a swarm of withered, decaying shrimp, possessing strength equivalent to the Crystal Realm.

For Lin Heng, who was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, this was already a leap across a major realm.

However, Mu Tinglan also noticed that her master's cultivation level had improved after defeating the Demon Armor Crab.

So after she casually eliminated some of the approaching withered shrimp, she directly used the water elemental root to enhance Lin Heng's power.

With the assistance of a fairy at the Enlightenment Realm, Lin Heng, although it took him a little longer than defeating the Demon Armor Crab, still found the process relatively easy.

"My spiritual roots seem to have recovered somewhat."

Mu Tinglan clutched her chest, then looked at Lin Heng and said in surprise, "Even Master's strength has broken through to the Crystallization stage?"

"Um."

Lin Heng nodded and looked at the Immortal Slave Manual:

[Because the Slave Master and the Goddess of the Nine Seas jointly repelled the withered shrimp, the Goddess of the Nine Seas' own strength has recovered to the Crystallization Realm. The Slave Master's realm has increased: Early Crystallization Stage.]

Should we challenge the next wave of demonic energy?

"I'm going to continue."

Lin Heng looked at Mu Tinglan and reminded her, "Don't get distracted this time."

After all, the next demonic tide will be even more powerful than these withered, rotting shrimp.

"Um!"

Mu Tinglan nodded heavily, then took out the Mermaid Tear Tide-Summoning Flute from his pocket.

The amplification from the Mermaid's Tear Tide-Summoning Flute was far more powerful than her own magic!

As expected, Lin Heng and Mu Tinglan's choice to be on high alert was correct.

Because of this third wave of demonic energy, a star-spotted sea dragon that had reached the Spirit Realm appeared, skipping a whole realm!

However, with the amplification of the Mermaid's Tear Tide-Summoning Flute, Lin Heng, although it took him a little more effort, still managed to pierce through the Star-Spotted Sea Dragon's body with a blue light that contained the rules of the source water.

[Because the Slave Master and the Nine-Nether Goddess jointly repelled the Star-Spotted Sea Dragon, the Nine-Nether Goddess's strength recovered to the Nascent Soul Realm. The Slave Master's realm increased to the late Crystallization stage.]

Should we challenge the next wave of demonic energy?

The stronger the monster, the greater the improvement?

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

However, defeating the Star-Spotted Sea Dragon had exhausted all his spiritual power.

So Lin Heng sat down on the nearby rocks and said directly to Mu Tinglan, "The rest is up to you."

"Master, please sit down and rest."

Mu Tinglan nodded slightly, then stood in front of the reef.

As another giant wave surged on the sea, Mu Tinglan, who was prepared, immediately played the Melody of Tears.

Before Lin Heng could even see the demons among them, the Immortal Slave Manual sent a notification to repel the demonic tide.

A fairy in the Enlightenment Realm, plus the Mermaid's Tear Tide-Summoning Flute.

Even if the demons in this demonic tide reach the Nascent Soul realm, they will be annihilated...

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered at all..."

Lin Heng muttered something under his breath.

But when he saw the instructions in the Immortal Slave Manual, Lin Heng's eyes widened:

[Because the Netherworld Evil Gunfish was defeated single-handedly by the Nine Netherworld Goddess, the Nine Netherworld Goddess's strength recovered and remained at the Nascent Soul Realm, while the Slave Master's realm remained at the late Crystallization stage.]

What does that mean?

Why can't I even slack off anymore?

Lin Heng silently complained to himself.

However, upon closer reflection, it was indeed my oversight.

After all, this Source Water Dream was specifically designed to be completed by him and Mu Tinglan together...

[This session of the Source Water Dream has ended. Do you wish to exit?]

"Master, it seems I haven't recovered much this time?"

At this moment, Mu Tinglan turned around and walked to Lin Heng, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, I need to be involved, and if I'm not mistaken, it can't just be a half-hearted attempt."

Lin Heng said helplessly.

"Is that so... However, I am already very grateful to Master for being able to recover to the Nascent Soul Realm."

Mu Tinglan put the Mermaid's Tear Tide-Calling Flute back into her arms and smiled gently.

"Alright, this round of the Source Water Dream is over."

Lin Heng stood up.

"Hey! Master, are we about to wake up?"

Mu Tinglan suddenly walked over and grabbed Lin Heng's sleeve.

"Yes, it's over."

Lin Heng nodded, "Next time, we'll prepare and come again."

Mu Tinglan pursed her thin lips and said softly, "Then... could you wait a little while before waking up?"

"Um?"

Lin Heng looked at her in confusion, but did not immediately end the dream.

Before she could even react, Mu Tinglan excitedly pounced on her, allowing Lin Heng to taste the warm, sweet flavor of the water spirit root...

Even after the two separated, Mu Tinglan gently hugged Lin Heng's arm and said with a smile in her eyes, "Master has been fighting for so long, you must be tired, right? Of course, I want to help you stretch your muscles."

"I've told you to read less spiritual books."

Lin Heng shook her head somewhat helplessly. This time, her water spirit root had caused quite a stir.

Without even asking, I knew she must have learned it from some kind of spiritual book.

"Mmm-hmm!"

Mu Tinglan responded with a very perfunctory smile.

Because she knew that if her master really wouldn't let her read the Little Spirit Book, the Slave Spirit Mark would have already activated...

【quit!】

The two closed their eyes.

Just like when I entered the dream of the source water, a feeling of weightlessness came again.

When Lin Heng opened his eyes again, he and Mu Tinglan were back in the Sand Fox Clan's camp.

But the moment they awoke, they heard a member of the Sand Fox clan shouting outside, "Damn it, how long is this demonic tide going to last? If this continues, Zaxi Pass will be completely finished!"
