Chapter 419: Little Baiqiu Wakes Up (1)_1
Everyone then realized that Dugu Qianye had not woken up as she usually did, still sitting there with her eyes closed. In her hand, she clenched a green bead.
Advancing to the intermediate level of Divine Emperor, Dugu Qianye frightened Hao Pengyou greatly and brought substantial benefits to her Contract Beasts, yet she herself was unaware. During this month, she had been under the nourishment of Wood Qi, that vibrant life essence, that green hope, allowing her to seemingly comprehend the existence and significance of the Wood Elemental Spiritual Energy.
When she had absorbed all the Wood Qi and released her suppressed strength, her power rose continuously. At that moment, the green bead that had been hovering midair fell into her hands. Hao Pengyou and the others recognized at a glance that this bead, except for its color, bore a strong resemblance to the Water Spiritual Pearl.
"Wood Spiritual Bead?!" The Beasts glanced at each other, all fairly certain that this bead must undoubtedly be the Wood Spiritual Bead.
Whether or not it was a Wood Spiritual Bead, Dugu Qianye was not aware at this time. She only felt that after releasing her suppressed Spiritual Power, her strength was rapidly enhancing. After advancing to the primary level of Divine Emperor, it seemed the Spiritual Power was insufficient; the speed slowed down and stopped before the intermediate barrier of Divine Emperor. When she thought of stopping, she suddenly heard Dandan’s voice, "Don’t listen, continue!" After speaking, it began to release the Spiritual Power stored within its body.
This Spiritual Power was all accumulated during their time in the Phantom Sea Domain when Qiuqiu absorbed too much Phantom Power, and Dandan stored it for Dugu Qianye, converting all the Phantom Power into Spiritual Power. At the time it had told her, but she had forgotten.
With Dandan releasing Spiritual Power, Dugu Qianye once again mobilized her own Spiritual Power to break through toward the intermediate level of Divine Emperor. Since Dandan released a considerable amount of Spiritual Power, she surged in one go to the intermediate level. But at the moment of breaking through to Divine Emperor, Dugu Qianye felt a wave of dizziness and quickly closed off her Divine Sense, as a backlash would be problematic. To reduce the damage, she thought of the healing power of the Wood Elemental Spiritual Power that she had just comprehended, the unending heritage of life, feeling as if she was standing in a boundless meadow. A refreshing breath rushed towards her, and only then did she feel somewhat better.
When her body had recovered, Dugu Qianye opened her eyes only to discover that she was not in a cave but actually in a boundless grassland. The greenery was lush and dripping with life essence, and every blade of grass emitted a dense vitality.
