Chapter 1190: Chapter 97: Transformation of the Divine Artifact_4
Ah Dai and Xuan Yue actually did not leave Mimu City, for they still harbored thoughts about those thousand Gold Coins. The two found a small inn not far from the East City Gate and settled down. Wearing the same commoner’s garb, naturally, nobody noticed them. Ah Dai looked at the few silver coins remaining in his coin pouch and said to Xuan Yue with a wry smile, "Brother, tonight we can’t indulge in a big feast."
Xuan Yue smiled, "Right! Otherwise, if we reveal our identities, it might become difficult to break free. I wonder what kind of reaction Wo Xin will have when he sees our letter. I hope he can be as kind-hearted as our elder brother. Big brother, let’s not sleep tonight. The massive Divine Energy from the daytime felt so unreal. Let’s cultivate throughout the night to solidify the newly acquired Energy. Maybe we will achieve even greater gains. What do you think?"
Ah Dai nodded, "Good idea, since we ate a lot during the day, I’m still not hungry. Cultivating is the most energy-conserving activity; after we depart with the trade association tomorrow, we’ll eat their good food."
They went right to it, closed the room’s door and windows, and sat opposite each other on the bed to begin cultivating.
Ah Dai did not need to deliberately circulate his energy. With a thought, the Golden Body in his Dantian lit up, the meridians within his body clearly visible, as the strong True Qi surged through, repeating the process of dispersing and condensing. The two-inch-tall Golden Body in the Dantian kept flashing, and Ah Dai felt that his body was like a bottomless pit, containing such an immense amount of energy without the slightest feeling of fullness. The Golden Body in the Dantian continuously absorbed the energy from the Golden Body in his chest. Through constant circulation, it gradually grew stronger. Only upon reaching the ninth Realm did Ah Dai really start feeling like he was absorbing the Energy passed on by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. He clearly knew that in perhaps a few years’ time, when he absorbed all of the Sword Saint’s power, he would become another Sword Saint, and might even surpass the accomplishments of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. His achievements today were all thanks to the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, whose altruistic sacrifice persistently shook his soul. The second Golden Body near his chest seemed to sense the excitement in Ah Dai’s heart, as a warm energy radiated from within, enveloping his entire body. His somewhat disarrayed emotions gradually calmed, his consciousness immersed in the soft and pure energy from the two Golden Bodies, entering a meditative state.
Ah Dai, in meditation, did not notice that Xuan Yue sitting opposite him was also undergoing significant changes. The surging Holy Power enveloped her body, and after receiving a baptism, her six ethereal Wings of Light reappeared. With the ability of the six wings, Xuan Yue absorbed the elemental Energy in the air faster than before, and her magic cultivation continued to sublime. The Pope’s judgment was correct; after a year-long divine baptism, Xuan Yue had become the person closest to the gods.
At dawn, a blue and a red light shone simultaneously, wrapping around a white and a golden sphere of energy. The blue and red lights gradually disappeared, and the white and gold energies slowly retracted, revealing their forms. Ah Dai and Xuan Yue opened their eyes at the same time. Four beams of sparkling and electric light collided in the air, seemingly igniting a burst of sparks with a tingling sensation.
Xuan Yue noticed Ah Dai had changed. His black eyes looked so profound, a faint glow flowing under his bronze skin. His once ordinary appearance now seemed full of an unusual charm, sitting there like an insurmountable majestic mountain range.
Ah Dai also noticed that Xuan Yue had changed as well. Her blue hair shone like gemstone filaments, her ocean-like blue eyes containing boundless gentle light. Her pale complexion radiated with Divine Light, and a faint golden aura wrapped around her body, as if a Sky God had descended to earth.
Although both were dressed in the most common civilian clothes, their simple attire could not hide their radiance. Both their auras had undergone a massive transformation. After the events of the previous day, they finally had elevated their abilities to an unprecedented level, and they had also reached a new starting point. From now on, their cultivation would be on a whole different level.
"Brother, you look so handsome!" Ah Dai exclaimed.
"Big brother, you’re very handsome too!" Xuan Yue replied with a smile. Both laughed together. The tremendous improvement in strength filled them with confidence. In their hearts, the Death Mountain Range seemed like nothing anymore; their vast power would be their most potent weapon. At this moment, both firmly believed that nothing could stop their progress.
The dawn’s first light filtered through the window, and the sun rose slowly from the Dongfang, signifying the start of a new day.
Ah Dai smiled slightly, "It’s not early anymore; let’s eat something before we set off." Without chanting a Spell, with a flash of blue light, the last few fruits brought from the Illusive Forest floated in the air. Xuan Yue opened her mouth and sucked, and a fruit flew towards her. She bit into it, and the sweet juice flowed into her mouth. "Big brother, after we finish these fruits, we will have none left. Let’s see who can eat them faster."
Filled with childlike excitement, Ah Dai said, "Okay!" He imitated Xuan Yue, attracting a piece of fruit and rapidly eating it. In a short while, the pair equally divided the eight fruits between themselves.
