Chapter 23: Yuanshi Morning Mist

It disappeared.

Bai Qiulan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

That drop of Chaos Venom had finally vanished.

It must have been just the first drop of Chaos Venom, which was particularly stubborn, or perhaps it was because her "Taiyin Transformation Scripture" had not yet been mastered, which caused the Chaos Venom to linger.

That must be the reason...

Yet, deep down, there was a trace of unease she was unwilling to acknowledge.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Unity Dao Realm, how are you feeling now?" Sun Ruowei asked urgently.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Bai Qiulan replied with a smile.

Sun Ruowei, however, was not entirely convinced and took Bai Qiulan's hand to check her pulse.

"Cold energy has invaded your body, and your vital energy is weak. How can a Unity Dao Realm cultivator have such a pulse and still say everything is fine?" Sun Ruowei exclaimed, wide-eyed.

Bai Qiulan pulled her hand away and chuckled lightly, "It's just a minor issue."

Yue Hongling didn't ask any questions, simply standing obediently to the side. It seemed that Sun Ruowei had noticed something and was eager to investigate further.

Yue Hongling remembered the shock in Sun Ruowei's eyes in her previous life when she discovered that both she and their master were Lu Ye's women. Even in her last moments, Sun Ruowei's final words were, "No, how could things be so messy?"

Since such a thing wouldn't happen in this lifetime, there was no need for Sun Ruowei to delve into it any further.

"Where is Lu Ye?" Bai Qiulan asked.

"Senior brother disappeared right after claiming first place. He must have left the sect to go on a training journey," Yue Hongling replied.

"Burial God Ridge, huh..."

"Probably."

Sun Ruowei???

Wait, how do you all know where Lu Ye went for training?

And what is Burial God Ridge? The name sounds impressive, but why have I never heard of it before?

"Master, should we go and check it out?" Yue Hongling asked.

"No need."

Yue Hongling fidgeted, hesitating to speak further.

Bai Qiulan understood and grabbed Yue Hongling's shoulder, and in an instant, their figures vanished.

Sun Ruowei???

She stared at the empty sky, where Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling had disappeared without a trace.

The rising flames of gossip were abruptly extinguished.

"Damn it, Bai Qiulan!"

"Damn it, I treated you as a close friend, and you treat me like this?"

"Don't you understand me? Your secrets are already exposed. Tell me the truth. Hiding it from me is more painful than killing me."

"Bai Qiulan, come back!"

"I want to break off with you..."

Bai Qiulan returned.

"Oh, I forgot to bring you along."

Sun Ruowei was brought up to the clouds with them, while Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling remained calm.

"What exactly are you two hiding from me?" Sun Ruowei asked urgently.

Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling both showed a look of confusion.

"Nothing, we didn't say anything."

"Then why did you avoid me just now?"

"No, we just forgot to bring you along."

"Bullshit, how could you forget someone as noticeable as me? Are you kidding me?"

"Ah, are you that big? I see you as slender, delicate, and beautiful, not particularly big, right?"

Sun Ruowei???

Damn, how can I stay mad now?

"What are we doing now?" Sun Ruowei asked.

"Burial God Ridge. I'm not too confident about my useless disciple, so I’m going to check on him," Bai Qiulan said.

Yue Hongling seemed distracted.

Because she was worried about the poison she had given to Lu Ye. The poison she used was called Primordial Morning Mist. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a poison but a special entity.

After the Primordial Morning Mist takes effect, it can amplify a person's senses countless times. Even the slightest touch of pain would be enough to make someone faint.

The effect lasts for seven days.

This thing won’t kill, but it will plunge the person into endless suffering.

A gust of wind would feel like being cut by a knife.

A ray of sunlight would feel like being burned by fire.

Yue Hongling wanted to use the Primordial Morning Mist to make Lu Ye fail in his tribulation.

But if it erupted now.

The intense pain could even dissipate Lu Ye's soul.

Yue Hongling felt some regret.

She shouldn’t have given this poison to her senior brother, especially after learning how much effort he had put into helping her cultivate and break through.

She could only pray that the Primordial Morning Mist would be erased by the power of time reversal.

The three of them arrived at the Burial God Ridge.

A figure sat cross-legged, with a long sword placed on their knees.

It was Chu Ling.

"Greetings, Sister Yue, Sister Bai... Master, greetings to Senior Aunt Sun."

Although Chu Ling promptly changed her address, the term "Sister Bai" was still heard by Sun Ruowei.

Sister Bai again!

Sister Bai again!

And Sister Yue!

"Ling'er, where is my senior brother?" Yue Hongling asked anxiously.

"The young master has entered the Burial God Ridge. I am here to protect him."

"Was there anything unusual before he entered the Burial God Ridge?"

Chu Ling recalled the cold glance Lu Ye gave her before entering the Burial God Ridge.

"Hmm, nothing unusual."

Yue Hongling felt slightly relieved.

"I'm a bit worried, Ling'er. Let's go into the Burial God Ridge to check."

"The young master is eternally..."

"Ahem, Ling'er!"

Bai Qiulan interrupted Chu Ling's words.

Eternally what?

Sun Ruowei glared fiercely at Bai Qiulan. You are the biggest obstacle on my path to gossip.

Could it be eternally invincible?

"Ling'er, what you've done, I've done too. Senior brother probably came to the Burial God Ridge to fetch the Divine Blood Flower. He wants to break through the core and form the infant. The last time the Celestial Rigor Venom acted up was when senior brother was condensing his core, so this time, breaking through the core and forming the infant, I think it might also lead to something bad happening," Yue Hongling said urgently.

Hearing this, Chu Ling's expression changed instantly.

"You did it?"

Yue Hongling nodded bitterly.

"What is it?"

"Primordial Morning Mist..."

Without another word, Chu Ling rushed into the entrance of the Burial God Ridge.

All four women rushed in together.

Sun Ruowei caught a few more terms: Celestial Rigor Venom, Primordial Morning Mist.

What on earth are these things?

Wait, you two just started cultivating, only at the Primordial Core Realm, how do you know such bizarre things?

The residual formations inside had already been completely dismantled by Lu Ye. As they say, not only were these formations broken, but Lu Ye had also been here once before.

Even if they were brand new and intact, it would be a piece of cake for Lu Ye.

Ahead, more corpses of corpse beetles appeared.

Each corpse beetle was killed with a single strike.

Many of these corpse beetles were at the InfantBreaking Realm.

Sun Ruowei couldn't help but feel a chill. Did Lu Ye do all this?

Isn't Lu Ye just at the Primordial Core Realm?

Why do these three women look so calm, without a hint of surprise?

Don't they think that Lu Ye's current actions have far exceeded the strength a Primordial Core Realm cultivator should have?

Even someone at the InfantBreaking Realm shouldn't have such strength!

Passing through a large number of corpse beetle corpses.

They then went through poisonous mist and a maze.

Finally, the four of them saw Lu Ye.
