Chapter 131: Like a Fish in Water

  They were just guessing and didn't dare to be sure. After all, Lin Xi had only been a formal disciple for less than ten days. Unexpectedly, it was true.

  "Originally just a step away from reaching the Yuanyou period, but at the moment of the battle, it was just broken through."

  Lin Xi smiled slightly.

  There's no need to hide this kind of thing anyway.

  "Junior brother is really impressive, he can even temporarily boost his power during battle!"

  Two female disciples of the Law Enforcement Period couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

  Making a breakthrough is not as easy as it sounds, the degree of mastery required is just right. It's worth noting that breaking through is a happy event, but if there is no breakthrough, it will affect action and lead to a dead end.

  The disciples of Xian Dao all have this kind of ability, and most of them don't dare to force a breakthrough on the battlefield. The risk is not small!

  Only the most crazy and most talented Xian Dao disciples would dare to do such a reckless thing!

  "Lin Xi, that's great, congratulations!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue's face was filled with joy, without any sign of displeasure at being surpassed by Si Linxi.

  "Girl, this adventure, earning merit points is secondary. The most important thing is to bring you here to broaden your horizons and gain experience. To get a head start on experiencing the fierce battles of the underworld. You've been following us for a long time on this trip to the small hellish furnace. I believe that these consecutive battles will be very helpful for your future growth. Basically, we've also achieved our goal. After a while, I'll let 'Mei' escort you to the periphery, hunt some small devils again, and then send you off."

  Qinglian Holy Girl said to Shang Gong Yaoyue at this time.

  Shangguan Yaoyue's strength was not enough to withstand the trials of the Furnace of Small Hell. Qinglian Holy Maiden brought her along simply to broaden her horizons, increase her knowledge and experience.

  "Uh-huh."

  Tuguan Yao nodded slightly.

  She also knew that her cultivation was limited and she couldn't help in battle, being a burden. So there wasn't much hesitation, and she agreed very readily.

  This is also where her cleverness and sensitivity lie in knowing the situation, recognizing advance and retreat, and not being reckless with words.

  Qinglian Shengnu nodded slightly. Although Shangguan Yaoyue was a bit weaker, she wouldn't let her worry too much. This was also what she admired about her.

  "Lin Shidi, you just broke through to the second layer of Qi refining. Given your situation, I'm afraid that except for the Great Demon King, the appearance of other hell creatures will pose a certain threat to you. Will you decide to continue adventuring and training here, or return to Shen Xiao Mountain with Ya Xue?"

  The Lotus Saintess asked.

  "Keep practicing. I have a feeling that I can make another breakthrough in this place."

  Lin Xi calmly said.

  In his mind, however, he recalled the "Taigu True Dragon" from the Wanhuangtu. The dragon's breath of the Taigu True Dragon seemed to be extremely restraining for demons. This was also one of the reasons why he decided to continue his training.

  Tai Gu Zhen Long feeds on higher ancient demons, especially with a purple chain on its body, it has partial control over the dragon yuan. Here, it is completely like a fish in water.

  "Alright then, let's keep going."

  The Holy Maiden of the Clear Lotus beckoned with her hand.

  Five inner female disciples at the Nascent Soul stage or above nodded in unison, each of them rising into the air. Shangguan Yuxue and Lin Xi were also caught up by them, flying into the sky.

  Qinglian Holy Girl's original intention was to bring Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue step by step into the depths, but now she can't afford to think about that anymore.

  The demons in the underground magma have taken notice of them. If they continue to advance in this manner, their tracks will be easily controlled. When the time comes and a large number of demons gather, even the Clear Lotus Saint would not be able to cope.

  After refining the air to the fourth level, you can fly in the air. This way, it's not easy to be tracked. However, this is also not risk-free.

  Although it's not easy to encounter little devils and underground big devils while flying in the sky, once discovered, they will face flying big devils. However, at this time, there is no time to care about that.

  A line of seven people need to quickly get rid of the evil spirits' positioning.

  In the following days, the whereabouts of the seven were elusive. Found a small group of evil dens, immediately fell down to eradicate.

  Once the battle is over, leave immediately.

  In this continuous battle, Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue's actual combat capabilities have been steadily improving. The fighting experience is beyond comparison with before.

  It wasn't until the third day that the group finally came to a stop.

  "Mei Yaotou is almost done. The Space-Time Gate is yours. Take Yaoxue to the Edge Territory. Use the Space-Time Gate to send Yaoxue back to Shenyue Mountain, then reunite with us."

  The Way of the Holy Lotus

  "The Gate of Time and Space" can only be opened in the weak areas of dimensions and planes, where there are many spatial gaps and spatial curves that can lead to other worlds.

  The stable zone of space, due to the extremely rigid spatial rules. To use the "Space-Time Gate" is not impossible. However, those "Space-Time Gates" are all very special and must be a legendary fairy way of great divine power to achieve.

  And that kind of "Gate of Time and Space" is not formed by ordinary heavenly and earthly yuanqi, but requires many special methods.

  Lin Xi heard the sound and turned his head to take a look, and Shangguan Yaoyue was standing behind him with a very calm expression.

  Compared to the online furnace little hell, she was like a different person. She became much more astute and formidable, her whole being like a half-out-of-its-sheath knife, emitting a faint aura of menace.

  As a fellow disciple of the same boundary, it's probably hard for him to be her opponent.

  "Yao Xue has made significant progress this time. After going out this time, she should have a big improvement."

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself, and in her heart she was also quietly happy for her.

  "Sister, I'll head back first then. Lin Xi, I'll wait for you at the sect!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue greeted everyone one by one.

  "Don't worry, I won't die. See you when I get back."

  Lin Xi smiled and said.

  "Hmm, if you dare to die easily here, I won't let you off easily."

  Shang An Yao raised an eyebrow, with a "you're going to regret this" look on her face.

  Lin Xi smiled slightly.

  A moment later, "Plum Blossom" took Shangguan Yuxue and brought up the "Gate of the Small Hell Furnace", directly breaking through the air and leaving.

  "Let's go."

  Qinglian Holy Girl swung her sleeves and led a group of five people deeper into the depths of the small hell furnace.

  The scorching fire clouds, the air was also getting hotter and hotter. Even that disciple of the Law Enforcement Department had to circulate his true energy to isolate the heat from the outside. At this time, Lin Xi unexpectedly felt much more comfortable.

  "The Great Law of Liè" is extremely yang and extremely firm, it's an ultimate skill of fire attribute.

  Lin Xi in this small hell furnace, not only didn't feel the heat, but instead was like a fish in water. The most primitive hellfire source, continuously penetrated through Lin Xi's pores, surged into his body, and then was absorbed by the "Yang Yang Great Method" inside Lin Xi's body, transformed into strands of "Yang Yang True Qi".

  The Hell's Primordial Qi is a higher-level energy than the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the world where Bi Linxi and others are. This energy has a fierce and overbearing nature, making it difficult for people in the Immortal Path to utilize.

  However, "Liuyang Dafa" is different.

  This furnace is just right for Lin Xi's taste. The more intense it is, the more beneficial it is to Lin Xi.

  In the void, the hellish heat source that Lin Xi can absorb is not much in terms of growth rate, and it's almost negligible. However, the key lies in the fact that there is always growth at every moment, and accumulating over a long period of time, it's still quite remarkable.

  "This time, whether the task is successful or not is secondary. Perhaps, the Great Sun Technique will make a huge breakthrough instead."

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.

  He felt that the closer he got to the core of the small hell furnace, the more hellish energy he could absorb from the void. The "Liyang True Qi" also grew faster, and basically, every day he stayed in the small hell furnace, his "Liyang Great Method" would increase by one point.

  This tyrannical and unparalleled ultimate skill is Lin Xi's true trump card. It's also the real reason he dares to continue staying in "Furnace Little Hell". Up until now, Lin Xi has not used this ultimate skill yet.

  In the blink of an eye, three days have passed again.

  Mei Yaotou had already sent Shangguan Yaushe back to Shenxia Mountain, and the group of six people no longer had the "concern" of Shangguan Yaushe, so their progress was much faster.

  Qinglian, Lantao, and Zhuxin even have time to hunt down evil dens, earning merit points.

  Although a few people didn't mind putting in some effort to protect Shangguan Yaoyue and Lin Xi, who wouldn't be willing if they could earn merit points? After all, even inner sect disciples were also short of merit points.

  Lin Xi, although a Qinglian Shengnu, was originally supposed to be the one they needed to protect. However, in reality, Lin Xi, despite having low martial arts skills, had instead become the one who least needed their worry and protection.

  His strength was not as high as Qinglian, Lantai and others, but when it came to killing demons, his speed was incredibly fast, often with a fatal blow, one hit kill. The speed of hunting demons was surprisingly not much slower than that of several people.

  This is something that few people can help but marvel at!

  What surprised several people was that Lin Xi's true energy and vitality seemed to be endless. Even the two female disciples of the Law Enforcement Department who had taken a few Qi-replenishing pills were no match for Lin Xi, who seemed completely unaffected.

  Moreover, the closer Lin Xi got to the heart of the furnace, the more radiant he became, his spirit shining brightly, like a fish in water. If one didn't know that he was a disciple of the Immortal Path, it would be easy to suspect that he was a native devil born and raised in this hellish land.

  "Sister, this little guy is too weird! Both of us are exhausted and have rested several times. He's still full of energy and vitality, it's scary. Is he even human?"

  Several "maids" quietly used their minds to communicate with Qinglian Holy Girl.

  "Don't spout nonsense. He has the Ancient Dao lineage on him, there's nothing strange about that. Moreover, haven't you noticed? When he hunts and kills demons, most of the time it's with a single slash of his sword, striking their weak points, one hit and they're dead, without wasting any true energy. Where would he be as exhausted as you guys?"

  The Way of the Holy Lotus

  Qing Ju, Lan Tai and the others, when they killed devils, were all filled with true energy, overwhelming the sky and earth, moving mountains and seas. Although many devils were killed at once, correspondingly, the waste of true energy was also extremely great.

  Several female disciples of Shenxiu Sect's Xian Dao were all silent and unresponsive.

  They certainly didn't fail to notice this point, in fact, it was precisely because they saw these things that made them feel even stranger in their hearts.

  They even saw Lin Xi use his hand to strangle a demon to death.

  This is completely unimaginable for a Xian Dao disciple!
