Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

As expected—Wang Yuyan took advantage of the opportunity to absorb the soul ring and, before she had fully refined the power of the soul ring, boldly knocked on the gate of innate ability!

In contrast, Zhu Zhuqing took a steady and methodical approach, first fully integrating the soul rings into her own power before accumulating strength to break through to the Innate Realm.

Swah——

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Quan and Qiao Jingjing, who held their breath...

The surging energy swirled and condensed above her head, instantly forming a shallow yet extremely resilient vortex!

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the vortex suddenly collapsed, and a massive amount of vital energy, like a whale sucking in water, was completely absorbed into her body!

The next instant, a pure, vast, and inviolable innate aura erupted from her body—

"It's done!"

Lin Quan and Qiao Jingjing exchanged a smile, their expressions filled with heartfelt joy.

Almost at the same instant, the remaining soul ring on Wang Yuyan's body was also completely refined by her and silently merged into her bloodline.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing again, she remained calm and unhurried, and the absorption of the soul rings continued steadily.

Time flows quietly by...

A full hour passed, and Wang Yuyan's breathing had begun to stabilize, her foundation quietly becoming more solid.

Zhu Zhuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief as the last wisp of soul ring light slowly sank into the depths of her dantian.

Her aura surged and ebbed violently in an instant, like the ebb and flow of the tide.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) seemed to be drawn together by invisible threads, quietly gathering and surging towards Zhu Zhuqing like rivers flowing into the sea. "Whoosh..."

Lin Quan and Qiao Jingjing exchanged a glance, and simultaneously let out a long breath, their tense shoulders relaxing slightly.

The scene before them was crystal clear—Zhu Zhuqing was steadily breaking through the threshold, attempting to reach the Innate Realm!

Without any surprises or dangers, without a sound or a sound, the aura was as deep and still as an ancient well, without even the slightest disturbance.

It was a natural progression, as if she was meant to stand on this threshold, just waiting to take a gentle step.

"Don't rush to get up, first solidify your foundation..."

Before she finished speaking, the hazy aura around Zhu Zhuqing suddenly intensified, and her aura rose steadily until it finally stabilized at the Innate Realm.

Lin Quan raised his hand and gently reminded him, his tone gentle but leaving no room for argument.

As if summoned, Zhu Zhuqing, whose eyelids had been trembling and who was half-awake, slowly closed her eyes again, took long breaths, and sank back into a state of meditation.

Another full hour passed before her aura truly settled down, like a rock settling and a mountain taking root.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, and her figure transformed into a shadowy blur, instantly leaping through the air and landing in Lin Quan's arms. "Brother Quan, I did it! The Innate Realm!"

Lin Quan looked down at the girl who had rushed into his arms, smiled, and said nothing more.

He wrapped one arm around her slender waist and gently patted her back with the other, his movements practiced and tender. He remembered all the stubbornness Zhu Zhuqing had shown in gritting her teeth and persevering all this way.

Even after the contract was signed, she never slacked off in the slightest, cultivating diligently day and night, never yielding an inch.

Now, his cultivation level is enough to rival those Soul Saints in the Martial Soul World who can shake three cities with a single stomp!

Years of pent-up resentment, forbearance, and obsession finally burst forth at this moment...

After a long while, Wang Yuyan stood aside, her eyes shining with a mixture of envy and eagerness.

Qiao Jingjing coughed lightly twice, and Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks immediately burned. She hurriedly pulled away from Lin Quan's embrace, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. "After braving wind and rain for more than half a month, it finally paid off..."

"Now, the three of us have all entered the Innate Realm."

"My two younger sisters, hurry up and stabilize your cultivation levels and complete your soul rings. Now we're heading home."

After a long journey of more than half a month, the four of them were full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue, but the deep-seated exhaustion they felt was ultimately impossible to hide.

Qiao Jingjing was already used to life and death, so she was full of energy; but Lin Quan, Wang Yuyan, and Zhu Zhuqing, even though they did not change their expressions, could not hide a few strands of gloomy weariness in the depths of their eyes.

"Don't miss this opportunity, let's go now!"

As soon as Lin Quan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and gave the order decisively.

The three women looked at each other and smiled. Without saying a word, they set off together.

The four of them had already reached a tacit understanding regarding the ownership of Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhuqing's last spirit ring.

Previously, the two women's cultivation had not yet reached the Innate Realm, so in order to ensure everything was perfect, they had to carefully select ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts with pure bloodlines and suitable age; now that the bottleneck has been broken, the restrictions have naturally loosened.

Zhu Zhuqing needs a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with dark attributes and abundant blood energy;

Wang Yuyan can choose either the ice or metal element, but the more vigorous the bloodline, the better.

If one were to encounter a rare being that is between 50,000 and 80,000 years old, that would be a stroke of incredible luck!

In just one day, Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Yuyan both successfully hunted their targets and completed their soul rings.

"Finally... I can go home."

Looking at the relaxed expressions on their faces, Lin Quan sighed sincerely.

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Jingjing chimed in with a smile, "Now that the soul ring has been refined, let's set off immediately!"

"I'll fly you back—"

Swish!Swish!Swish!

With a slight thought, Wang Yuyan summoned the Frost Sword. In a flash, the sword split into four giant swords, each over ten feet long, their cold light gleaming and hovering in mid-air, humming softly.

"Today I'll show you what it truly means for a sword immortal to soar through the clouds!"

"Hurry up and get on! Don't just stand there!"

All three stared at the four floating giant swords, and then caught a glimpse of the excited light in Wang Yuyan's eyes—she was clearly eager to ride the swords and carry people, and show off her skills!

In an instant, Lin Quan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Qiao Jingjing exchanged a glance, their lips twitching in unison, a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.

Although they felt a little uneasy, no one refused. With a sway of their bodies, they landed steadily on the spine of the sword.

The moment everyone leaped onto the giant sword, Wang Yuyan swayed and stood firmly on the icy blade.

"Set off--"

call!

Before she finished speaking, the giant ice sword that had split into four suddenly hummed, its blade trembling as if it were alive. With a light tap of Wang Yuyan's fingertip, it rose into the air, carrying Lin Quan and the other two, and transformed into a streak of cold silver light that shot straight into the sky!

Initially, Lin Quan and the other two's concerns were indeed confirmed—

Although the sword strike was swift, it swayed left and right and bounced up and down, as if it were about to break free and go out of control at any moment!

Not to mention the fierce wind that rushed towards them, as violent as a knife, scraping their faces painfully, almost tearing the three of them off their backs!

Fortunately, Wang Yuyan reacted quickly. A faint blue halo suddenly appeared on the sword, silently drawing the four of them into it. The next instant, the sword light pierced the air, directly passing through the deep forest area inhabited by the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and rushed out of the Star Dou Forest in one breath.

As the Frost Sword slowly descended and landed steadily, Wang Yuyan released her fingers from the hand seals. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face was slightly pale. "I can't hold on any longer... Taking you all on this trip drained too much of my spiritual energy!"

Before the words were even out of their mouths, Lin Quan and the other two hadn't even gotten their feet back on their feet when they all rolled their eyes.

Qiao Jingjing didn't mince words, pointing it out: "When you were flying around on your sword just now, your lips were practically curled up to your ears!"

"Quickly adjust your breathing!" Zhu Zhuqing urged.

Wang Yuyan stopped arguing, sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, and her breathing gradually became deeper.
