Chapter 292 - 291: It’s For The Greater Good!
It was as if meteors crashed inside their minds. The God Emperors, the two Yama Devils, and the Moon Eaters froze once again, stunned beyond words. Since stepping into this realm, the shocks they had faced were countless.
"Is... Is it true?" Yan Jie blurted out without meaning to. If he could raise his strength by just one level, he wouldn’t be living in his sister’s shadow anymore. His father might stop looking at him with disappointment as well.
Chi Wuyao smiled confidently beneath the mist that cloaked her. From the moment she sent the invitation card... no, from the moment her witches crushed the Yama Devil and the Moon Eater, they had been moving exactly as she planned. Every step they took played right into her hands. "I know this must be hard to believe. Let me show you a demonstration."
"Sheng Shiyan," she called out.
In an instant, Sheng Shiyan’s figure flickered into view before Chi Wuyao. He dropped to one knee, bowing deeply. "Shiyan is here, Your Majesty!"
Chi Wuyao took out a pill. It was pure white, glowing with a faint silver light, and released an incredibly pleasant, refreshing scent. "Take this," she said.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Sheng Shiyan trembled with excitement as he saw the pill. With both hands, he carefully took it, fully aware of its power. All twenty-six of his Soul Spirits, except for himself, had already taken one. Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged on the ground and swallowed the pill.
As the leader of the Soul Spirits, Sheng Shiyan was the strongest among them, at the 6th level Divine Master Realm. After taking this pill, his cultivation would jump to the 7th level Divine Master Realm!
A burst of incredibly pure and gentle energy surged from the pill like a vast ocean, flowing steadily toward his profound veins. He closed his eyes and focused deeply, guiding and refining the energy within.
The others already had a rough idea of what would happen, but instinctively, they couldn’t fully believe it. They all stared at the man who looked more like a woman than most women, silently waiting for the result.
Yun Wuji watched quietly the whole time, not saying a word. From the moment he appeared until now, his silence made everyone wonder if Chi Wuyao had stolen his soul and turned him into her puppet.
Unlike Yun Wuji and canon Yun Che, most people in this world take a very long time to go through a breakthrough in their cultivation, because with each breakthrough, their profound energy undergoes a complete transformation, and that transformation takes time.
