Chapter 2429: Chapter 2432: Water Elder’s Empowerment: Another Breakthrough!

Water Elder was silent for a while before he said, "Do you dare come over here for a bit?"

"What’s there not to dare?"

Ling Xiao temporarily stored Heiye Changfeng into the Beast Ring, then directly stepped into the Demon Sea Domain.

At this very moment, Water Elder suddenly extended a finger and pointed at Ling Xiao’s forehead.

"Wolf Travel Thousand Miles · Lone Wolf Walk!"

Ling Xiao had long been on guard against this old man sneak-attacking him, and suddenly performed Wolf Travel Thousand Miles; his figure vanished.

"Good Body Movement Technique! No wonder you dared to talk back to me like that just now, looks like you really are confident.

But I won’t hurt you.

It seems you’re already at the verge of a breakthrough, I just want to help you pierce that layer of window paper."

Water Elder said with a smile.

From Water Elder’s body, Ling Xiao no longer felt that terrifying killing intent from before.

So he nodded.

And stopped moving.

This also required tremendous courage.

If Water Elder really wanted to harm him, then he’d be truly miserable.

"Good kid, you really aren’t afraid I’ll harm you?"

Water Elder’s fingertip pressed against Ling Xiao’s forehead, and a clear, water-like power flowed into Ling Xiao’s body.

The power that had long since accumulated to the brim finally broke through layers of obstruction.

First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Third Layer Hell, Late Stage Cultivation!

Ling Xiao broke through again!

"Of course I’m afraid, but if I don’t dare to try just because I’m afraid, I’ll miss out on a lot of good things."

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "All the opportunities in this Mysterious World are without exception accompanied by danger. If you’re scared of this and that, afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, then on the road of Martial Arts, you’re destined to never make any progress."

"Good kid, truly impressive. Inside your body, I discovered a terrifying power that’s shocking. Although I don’t know what it is, I now believe what you said."

Water Elder sighed and said, "If you really want to save Ling Yan, it’s best if you can obtain the eight kinds of Magical Treasures of the Eight Great Families of Mount Eight Immortals.

Only by possessing those eight Magical Treasures is there a chance of undoing my Curse, and a chance of saving Ling Yan.

Of course, if you only plan to go see Ling Yan, then as long as you obtain any one of the Magical Treasures, you can freely enter and leave the Demon Sea Domain."

"Saving you, Elder, is a long and arduous task. With my current strength, I can only strive to first get my hands on the ’Shadow Black Gourd.’"

After Ling Xiao left here this time, he would go participate in the Dark Clan’s Shadow Black Gourd battle.

When that time came, he would naturally fight with all his might for it.

After all, his cultivation level had now broken through to First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Third Layer Hell, Late Stage.

As long as he could break through to Third Level Hell Peak before the battle, then even if that An Feitian broke through as well, he still wouldn’t be afraid.

"Alright, I’ve answered everything you asked. Now bring that youngster from before out, I’ll heal him."

Water Elder suddenly said.

"You know medicine?"

Ling Xiao asked in curiosity.

"He was injured by me, naturally I can save him. Don’t worry."

Water Elder said.

"Alright!"

Although Ling Xiao’s Injury Healing Pill was effective, it would probably still be difficult to wake Heiye Changfeng in a short time.

Letting Water Elder try shouldn’t be a problem.

He nodded and released Heiye Changfeng.

Water Elder released Primordial Power, and azure-blue True Essence wrapped around Heiye Changfeng.

A moment later, he actually drew the injuries out from Heiye Changfeng’s body.

Heiye Changfeng woke up in an instant.

"You can do that too?"

Ling Xiao stared, dumbfounded.

He had really never thought there could be such a way of treatment.

"Only the injuries I caused myself can be resolved this way, so don’t get any ideas. Hurry back, this place isn’t suitable for lingering. Now that that Sha Ying is dead, the Sha Clan will definitely come investigate.

Although in the Demon Sea Domain, people dying is a common thing, Sha Ying was a very important genius to the Sha Clan."

Water Elder reminded.

Heiye Changfeng had just woken up and was still in a dazed state.

He couldn’t figure out how, in the brief time he’d been unconscious, Ling Xiao had actually turned enmity with Water Elder into friendship?

And judging by the looks of it, their relationship seemed pretty good.

His own injuries were actually healed as well?

"Senior Brother Chang Feng, let’s go. Water Elder saved you for the sake of our Mountain Master and Grand Elder Heiye Wuguang."

Ling Xiao didn’t want too many people to know about Ling Yan’s matter.

This reason was enough to convince Heiye Changfeng.

Water Elder also cooperated very well: "Why aren’t you scramming yet? If not for Heiye Wuxing and Heiye Wuguang’s sake, I’d have killed you both already. Scram!"

Heiye Changfeng swiftly led Ling Xiao through the Teleportation Array and arrived in that previous great hall, only then did he let out a breath of relief.

"What exactly happened while I was unconscious?"

Now that they were here, Heiye Changfeng felt safe. Driven by curiosity, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Nothing much, really. I mentioned Grand Elder Heiye Wuguang’s name and my Mountain Master’s name, and Water Elder decided not to kill me and even saved you."

Ling Xiao replied, "As for the rest, I don’t know. Water Elder is that kind of person; his temper is inherently strange. Do you really expect to understand him?"

"That’s true. But you kid really gave me a huge shock. You actually killed that Sha Ying—what’s your cultivation level now?"

Heiye Changfeng couldn’t help asking.

"Roughly First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Third Layer Hell, Late Stage Cultivation."

Ling Xiao answered. On this point he wasn’t lying.

Anyway, his cultivation rose quite fast; telling the truth now, people might later think he was hiding his strength.

"Impressive, being able to challenge above your level. You really are a genius, no wonder Lord Wuguang keeps trying to make you his adopted son."

Heiye Changfeng laughed and said, "I’ll send you back now. Who knows, we might even become rivals in the future. Let’s both work hard and see how long I can maintain my edge over you."

This person’s temperament was actually quite good.

Especially when he’d risked his life to save Ling Xiao before; it genuinely moved Ling Xiao.

Although the outcome hadn’t been great, Ling Xiao still remembered this favor.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother Chang Feng, you won’t be able to keep that advantage for long. Before too much time passes, when I step into this Fifth Level of Ghost Prison again, I might already be stronger than you."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"I won’t stand still either."

Heiye Changfeng was a bit unconvinced.

"Hahaha, then we’ll see. I’m off, Senior Brother Chang Feng, take care."

In truth, what satisfied Ling Xiao most from entering this Fifth Level of Ghost Prison this time wasn’t the breakthrough in cultivation, but the friendships he had formed with Heiye Changfeng and Water Elder.

With these two friends, his harvest was tremendous.

Laughing loudly, Ling Xiao stepped out of the Teleportation Gate and went straight back to his little wooden hut.

Half a month passed, and Lin Yang and Qinɡ Luan Hua had both made breakthroughs in cultivation, and also improved in their Martial Skills.

They had originally planned to show off in front of him, but when they saw his progress, the two of them only said two words—

"Monster!"

Then they buried their heads back into Cultivation.

Ling Xiao naturally couldn’t be idle either. The reason he came out of the Fifth Level of Ghost Prison ahead of time was because he had obtained the information he wanted.

He had also acquired quite a few Demon Beast Crystal Cores.

They were the Crystal Cores of powerful insect-type Monster Beasts on those islands.
