Chapter 118 - 28: Sword Trial - Small Cloud Trace Steps
Seeing Yue Jinghua wake up, Qing Pu averted his head like his eyebrows had been singed by fire.
Itching all over her face, Cannibal Little Qingpu clung to Yue Jinghua’s face, its soft and fuzzy leaves caressing her skin, leaving behind a wet patch that was either drool or tears.
Yue Jinghua cracked a smile and scratched the leaves of Cannibal Little Qingpu. "Worried about me? You are such a sweet little thing, unlike some people who only know how to roll their eyes like dead fish."
Whether it was an illusion or not, upon hearing these words, Qing Pu’s figure stiffened slightly, and after a long while, he managed to say gruffly, "Luck, check the muscles and meridians in your body."
This woman, truly unaware of life and death. He had been watching by her side for a whole day and night, only to be greeted with her cold sarcasm upon opening her mouth. Qing Pu’s face turned sour, his mood extremely unpleasant.
As she gathered her Qi, Yue Jinghua was stunned. The Dark Power inside her Dantian, which had already been depleted, had surged to three times its size—she had achieved Small Success in Dark Jade and broken through two stages in succession. She had now reached the Dark Jade Peak, only a step away from Dark Earth.
Advancing two levels in a single night, such a speed was indeed astonishing.
Suppressing her joy, Yue Jinghua clicked her tongue, "Who would’ve thought the Thousand Sword Intent Formation would have such miraculous effects."
"Thousand Sword Intent Formation?" Qing Pu pulled away and tossed aside the Cannibal Qingpu that had wrapped its leafy limbs around Yue Jinghua and refused to let go; the Cannibal Qingpu sprayed its dissatisfaction with sticky fluid beside them.
Yue Jinghua described the Sword Intent Sword Formation she witnessed inside the sword and the crimson lightning dragons in the sky.
"This sword’s origin is not simple. There’s a Soul Array hidden within it. The owner, or the creator of this sword, must certainly be a Body Seizing Realm expert. And as far as I know, on the Canglong Continent, there have been only a handful of people who have cultivated to the Yin Yang Pill Realm in the last few centuries," Qing Pu spoke with profound depth in his eyes.
Although Qing Pu never discussed with Yue Jinghua how he got information from the outside world, it was clear he had his own channels. He didn’t speak of it, and Yue Jinghua didn’t ask. Their relationship at this point was still far from being stable enough to share innermost thoughts with each other.
