Chapter 1878: Breakthrough
Sipping the rice wine in his hand, Bai Xiaofan’s thoughts drifted back to that small town, seeing that very fierce woman!
Gradually, Bai Xiaofan’s Primordial Spirit uncontrollably flew out of his body, in an intangible, ethereal state, so much so that Salca and the Sixth Killing Soul beside him didn’t notice a thing!
This strand of Primordial Spirit left the small inn, flew upwards, and quickly soared beyond the range of the Demon Sea, leaving the Immortal Continent...
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Xiaofan’s Primordial Spirit arrived at a very familiar land, where he seemed to have lived many years ago!
"Is it you who’s back?"
Just as Bai Xiaofan’s Primordial Spirit reached a place that seemed like the Immortal World, shrouded in fairy mist, a clear female voice echoed!
Soon after, a figure in green appeared in front of Bai Xiaofan, with a pair of beautiful eyes gleaming with surprise!
"Turns out it’s just a Primordial Spirit, but I believe you will come back soon, I’ll continue waiting for you here! For now, you should return, if you keep wandering, I’m afraid you’ll get lost in this vast world!"
The woman in green said softly, reaching out her elegant hand, gently pressing it on Bai Xiaofan’s Primordial Spirit’s head!
Following that, Bai Xiaofan’s Primordial Spirit began to descend continuously!
Suddenly, in the small inn, Bai Xiaofan’s expression slightly froze, as if he had awoken from a dream!
Who was that woman?
Why did she resemble Xiao Mei so much?
Boom!
At this moment, a series of rumbling sounds came from Bai Xiaofan’s body, drawing the attention of Salca and the others present towards him!
"Did... did you break through?"
"What realm did you break through to? How come even I can’t discern it?"
The Sixth Killing Soul and Salca were both curiously staring at Bai Xiaofan, with faces full of disbelief!
"I broke through, to the Pinnacle Ascension Realm!"
Upon hearing Salca and the Sixth Killing Soul’s words, Bai Xiaofan gently nodded, speaking calmly as if the breakthrough had nothing to do with him!
Pinnacle Ascension Realm?
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Salca and the Sixth Killing Soul were both in shock!
Good heavens, wasn’t this breakthrough speed too fast?
If they remembered correctly, Bai Xiaofan’s cultivation was just at the late stage of the Peering Heaven Realm before, only reaching the late stage of the Creating Heaven Realm when executing the first eight steps of the Nine Steps to Tread the Heavens!
Now at the Pinnacle Ascension Realm, if he were to perform the Nine Steps to Tread the Heavens, wouldn’t his strength reach the Pinnacle of Fragmented God Realm?
Previously, Bai Xiaofan could match an existence like the Black Dragon God, with Bai Xiaofan’s current strength, would the Black Dragon God still be a match for him?
However, the two were perplexed. Bai Xiaofan clearly hadn’t done anything, merely sat there drinking, so how did his cultivation suddenly break through so much?
"Pinnacle Ascension Realm? Seriously, what did you just do? Could it be the wine that helps people break through?"
The Sixth Killing Soul exclaimed, incredulously looking at Luo Chen, taking a big sip from the jug in front of Luo Chen, finding nothing unusual!
"Making a fuss over nothing, it’s just the Pinnacle Ascension Realm. Both of you are way ahead of me, what’s there to be shocked about?"
Bai Xiaofan shot a glance at the Sixth Killing Soul, speaking dismissively, then continued drinking, as if the breakthrough had nothing to do with him!
"Oh come on, how’s that the same? Normally you just show off, but now can’t you tell us how you broke through?"
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, the Sixth Killing Soul and Salca both gave him a disdainful look!
Goodness!
If anyone else had broken through to the Pinnacle Ascension Realm, let alone the Pinnacle Creating Heaven Realm, they wouldn’t be so shocked!
But Bai Xiaofan was different; even at the Peering Heaven Realm, he could clash with Fragmented Gods and even Harmonized Beings, so reaching the Pinnacle Ascension Realm now, the surge in power was unimaginable!
Yet, to the surprise and amazement of the Sixth Killing Soul and Salca, Bai Xiaofan seemed utterly indifferent!
At this moment, Bai Xiaofan was pondering who that woman in green was?
Not only was she so similar to Xiao Mei, but just seeing her gave Bai Xiaofan an extremely strong sense of familiarity!
Thinking for a long time, Bai Xiaofan still couldn’t figure out the key!
At night, while many had already retired to rest, Bai Xiaofan sat with a jug of wine, in front of the inn, gazing at the starry sky while drinking!
Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over to sit next to Bai Xiaofan, surprisingly holding a jug of wine as well!
"Oh? You enjoy drinking too? Didn’t notice during the day."
Bai Xiaofan turned his head to look at Jia Zheng, clinking his jug against Jia Zheng’s, and said softly!
"I don’t like drinking, just feeling troubled, thinking that drinking might wash away the worries once I’m drunk!"
Jia Zheng shook his head, taking a big gulp, as if he had a vendetta against the wine!
"Wasn’t the revenge for Liang Yue’s husband already avenged? What other grievances are there? Matters of the heart?"
Bai Xiaofan, though possibly younger than Jia Zheng, sometimes saw emotional matters more clearly, even if he himself was entangled in emotions!
"To be honest with you, Mr. Bai, right now I’m indeed troubled by matters of the heart!"
Jia Zheng sighed, continuing!
"My younger brother and I grew up in the same village, then we cultivated together, entering the same sect..."
Once he started talking, Jia Zheng seemed to transform into a chatterbox, talking non-stop!
From Jia Zheng’s almost hour-long narration, Bai Xiaofan summarized Jia Zheng’s meaning!
Jia Zheng and Liang Yue’s husband had known each other since childhood, being the best of brothers, but then meeting Liang Yue, when Jia Zheng developed feelings for her and sought to pursue her, his younger brother had already been with Liang Yue!
Since then, he had always hidden his feelings, only treating Liang Yue as his sister-in-law!
No matter how he hid his feelings, his admiration for Liang Yue didn’t decrease but grew stronger, liking her even more!
Now with his younger brother gone and the major revenge accomplished, he thought of pursuing Liang Yue again!
However, considering their identities and yet unable to let go of his admiration for Liang Yue, he found himself very conflicted!
Yes, that’s right, Jia Zheng babbled on for an hour, but to Bai Xiaofan, it boiled down to just these few sentences!
"If you like her, go pursue her, what’s the use of thinking so much? If you don’t say anything, how will Liang Yue know you like her?"
Bai Xiaofan spoke softly, feeling Jia Zheng was way too long-winded in tackling matters!
Isn’t there a saying that goes like this?
If you like her, go for her, if you don’t even dare to go to jail for her, how can you say you like her?
Of course, in this Demon Sea, there’s no such thing as going to jail!
Though the saying is somewhat coarse, it fully illustrates one point, that if you like someone, don’t tread carefully!
