I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

Yun Shu had extremely complex feelings about Liu Qingqing's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

First of all, she and Liu Qingqing are not enemies, and because of Lin Feng, they are allies to some extent.

Therefore, Liu Qingqing's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage can also provide her with a certain degree of protection, which is a good thing, and she should be happy.

But the problem lies precisely with Lin Feng.

Both of them had feelings for Lin Feng, and Liu Qingqing had even been Lin Feng's wife.

This puts Yun Shu in an extremely awkward position.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should congratulate Liu Qingqing or not. After remaining silent for a long time, she said helplessly.

"This is truly a pleasant surprise."

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Liu Qingqing's mindset changed once again.

She had previously regarded Yun Shu as a rival in love, since both of them were at the Core Formation stage and their cultivation levels were essentially the same. In addition, she had abandoned Lin Feng before and was always worried that Lin Feng would harbor resentment, so she was filled with a sense of crisis.

But after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, everything changed.

Yun Shu was only at the early stage of Core Formation, while she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

The gap in cultivation level is almost an insurmountable chasm. Even if Yun Shu tries her best to catch up, it will take her several decades.

Over the past few decades, the only person who could provide Lin Feng with assistance was Liu Qingqing.

Therefore, Liu Qingqing appeared extremely calm and magnanimous at this moment. She smiled and said...

"Thank you for your kind words. If it weren't for Lin Feng's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to seize this opportunity."

After saying that, Liu Qingqing instinctively grabbed Lin Feng's hand, her attitude becoming ambiguous.

Seeing this, Yun Shu felt somewhat uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to react. Helpless, she could only turn to look at the children.

"The children are safe and sound, that's good."

Lin Feng also noticed the awkward atmosphere and quickly changed the subject.

"Yun Shu, you should take these children back first; it's too dangerous here."

Yun Shu nodded at first, but then quickly came to her senses. Lin Feng wanted her to take the child back; did he intend to return to this ghostly realm?

"Lin Feng, aren't you coming back with me?"

Lin Feng shook his head and turned to look at the ghost realm behind him. The chaotic and sharp spiritual energy danced like blades, inspiring fear in those who saw it.

Most people would definitely not want to go in a second time.

But Lin Feng was no ordinary person; he sensed an opportunity amidst the terror.

According to the old man, almost all the spiritual energy in this ghost realm comes from the Yellow Springs.

Such abundant spiritual energy, all born from a single spring, suggests just how terrifying the power within this so-called Yellow Spring must be.

If Lin Feng wants to break through quickly, he will definitely need to rely on the power of the Yellow Springs.

Anyway, Liu Qingqing has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and with her protecting him, Lin Feng doesn't need to worry about his safety.

How could Lin Feng possibly let go of something that was so beneficial and without any harm?

Lin Feng nodded and said with a determined look.

"This is a great opportunity, and I can't let it slip by no means."

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, Liu Qingqing's confidence swelled to an extreme, and she was very willing to accompany Lin Feng.

"Yun Shu, don't worry, with me by Lin Feng's side, there won't be any problems."

"Okay, then I'll take the children back first."

After seeing Yun Shu off, Lin Feng and Liu Qingqing returned to the ghostly realm without hesitation.

At this moment, the chaotic and spiritual energy in the Ghost Realm could hardly pose any obstacle to Liu Qingqing.

A Nascent Soul stage cultivation level is sufficient to offset the negative effects of this spiritual energy.

With the added blessing of the jade pendant, Lin Feng and his companion quickly pinpointed the location and found the so-called Yellow Springs.

The two did not conceal their tracks, but traveled swiftly and soon arrived near the Yellow Springs.

Contrary to Lin Feng's expectations, this so-called Yellow Spring was not a very surging spring. On the contrary, this place was like a mud pit, not only looking ordinary, but even the spiritual energy emanating from it was very peaceful.

This unusual situation surprised Lin Feng quite a bit.

He entered the underworld, observed it carefully for a moment, and then murmured to himself.

"The spiritual energy released here wasn't originally this cold and biting, so why did it turn into this state after spreading for a while?"

Lin Feng pondered the matter for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Liu Qingqing had been observing the surrounding situation. He extracted the surrounding spiritual energy in segments and then used his Nascent Soul stage cultivation to decompose and probe it, eventually discovering the problem.

The spiritual energy emanating from this spring is indeed very peaceful, but once it spreads around the area, it immediately becomes bone-chillingly cold.

The root of the problem lies in the surrounding land.

"call!"

Liu Qingqing took a deep breath and gently drew a line with her right index finger, creating a gap in the ground. The stench of blood buried under the yellow earth instantly surged up, revealing many skeletons and bones inside, a horrifying sight.

"As expected! This spot was deliberately chosen."

"Beneath this land lie countless corpses, sealed by an array to prevent their spirits from entering the cycle of reincarnation and from ever being reborn. Combined with the spiritual energy emanating from the Yellow Springs, this ghostly realm has gradually formed over time."

Upon hearing Liu Qingqing's explanation, Lin Feng felt a cold sweat break out on his brow.

In other words, this ghostly realm was not formed naturally, but was artificially created.

With such a large investment, what could their purpose be?

"Qingqing, I'm about to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from here. In your opinion, is there any danger involved?"

Liu Qingqing naturally understood Lin Feng's concerns. She waved her hand and said calmly.

"According to ancient records, this ghost realm has been formed for a very long time, reportedly over a thousand years."

"Even if this place was indeed set up by some ancient powerful being, after a thousand years, that being would probably have already passed away."

Lin Feng remained silent for a moment, feeling that what Liu Qingqing said made some sense. So he relaxed and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he silently took out the jade pendant and prepared to start frantically absorbing the surrounding Yin energy.

"I can't worry about that now. Even if there is some danger, that's a matter for later. My top priority right now is to quickly improve my strength."

"Come on, Qingqing, you will protect me."

"With such abundant spiritual energy, I'm afraid I'll have to break through several realms in a row. I absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake."
