“Ah…” Yao Yue cried out softly. Her face was so pale. Seeing Yao Yue like this, Ye Mo, who was now restored and energetic, immediately reached out his arms and held her.
“Little Yao, how do you feel?”
Their relationship had changed completely after the Conjoint Training so Ye Mo changed what he called Yao Yue. Because of the Sky Rotating Technique, Ye Mo had skipped two cultivation levels and now he was a Transcendence Ninth Realm expert.
Yao Yue’s cultivation level, however, had degraded to the Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm from the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm.
The boost in power from the second rebirth decreased significantly.
“I’m fine!” said Yao Yue with her cheeks flushed red. “Actually, the decrease of my power is beneficial to me.”
“Yeah? Why is that?” Ye Mo asked in deep doubt.
“One of the most important parts of cultivation advancement is to obtain insight into the Profound Mark and create the second Profound Mark of the Three High-grade Marks. The second rebirth forced me into the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm, but I can tell that I was underprepared,” Yao Yue said calmly.
Yao Yue’s death was her destiny, a kind of opportunity.
Fortunately, both of their powers were enhanced massively. Although Yao Yue’s cultivation level had degraded to the Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm, her overall ability was improved.
As for Ye Mo, not only did he become a Transcendence Ninth Realm expert, but his power had doubled.
But most important of all, the relationship between them was even more intimate now.
“Little Yao, those two guys outside are still trying to assimilate the Devil Refining Gourd. Fan Yi is a Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert, so when we get out, there’ll be an arduous battle waiting for us,” Ye Mo said.
“I’d like to try to enter the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm again. But I’ll need plenty of Transcendence Pills to generate a much more powerful Profound Mark for the level advancement. As long as I can break through to the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm, my power will be boosted up substantially,” Yao Yue said softly.Visit our comic site ReadReadNovelFull.live
“Transcendence Pills? This is all I have, here you go.”
With no hesitation, Ye Mo poured out all of his Transcendence Pills from his Xu Mi Ring.
Yao Yue immediately took all the Transcendence Pills from Ye Mo. And then these two people unified as one again.
“Help me to assimilate these pills!”
Yao Yue sat down and began to assimilate the Transcendence Pills.
Within Yao Yue’s body, all of the energy provided by the Transcendence Pills was assimilated. And the energy would help her advance to the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm. As the pill energy interacted with the Deathless Ice Phoenix Bloodline, and her Ice Phoenix Physique, a great amount of freezing air was let out from her body.
The Profound Mark she created was a kind of Ice Profound Mark, which fell into the category of the High-grade Profound Marks. When the Profound Mark was formed, it could generate a terrifying freezing air.
Ye Mo, standing beside her, saw a layer of frost crystallize over Yao Yue’s breathtakingly beautiful face.
“Ye Mo, watch out! When Yao Yue is creating the Profound Mark, it’s highly possible that the freezing air will backfire and she’ll freeze to death,” Hong Ling shouted in a hurry.
Although Yao Yue had absorbed the energy of the Transcendence Pills and infused it into her meridians, it was still extremely difficult to endure the overbearing freezing air.
At that moment, Yao Yue suddenly felt a stream of warmth entering her body from her back. An unstoppable stream of Shadow Dragon Power was transferred to her from Ye Mo’s hand, and the Freezing air started to disperse gradually.
“Ye Mo!” Yao Yue turned around looking at Ye Mo. Frost covered his body and face.
“Little Yao, say no more. Just concentrate on advancing to the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm.”
Ye Mo stayed still, letting his Shadow Dragon Power keep pouring out. “My power now is far stronger than before. The freezing air coming out of the Profound Mark can’t harm me. Stop worrying me and let me handle the freezing air.”
Yao Yue stopped talking and fully cooperated with Ye Mo. It was time for her to focus on advancement.
By now, her cultivation had reached the peak of the Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm, and she had inherited the sophisticated martial art technique from the Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan. So, once she entered the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm, it would be child’s play to defeat Fan Yi.
Now, she was creating the Profound Mark again.
Creating a Profound Mark was an essential step to advancing through the realms. Within the Profound World Realm and the Profound Heavens Realm, cultivators needed to create six Profound Marks in total on their Heart Transcendences.
Three Low-grade Profound Marks and three High-grade Profound Marks represented different levels of the Profound World and Profound Heavens.
With the creation of each Profound Mark, the power of the cultivator would be advanced significantly.
Now, Yao Yue was trying to enter the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm, which meant she needed to generate the second of the Three High-grade Marks.
“Shadow Dragon Power, Destroy All!” Ye Mo shouted with his hands pushing on Yao Yue’s back. He activated the Rising Dragon Pillar and transferred all of the Shadow Dragon Power into Yao Yue’s body.
The Ice Phoenix Transcendence in Yao Yue’s energy center flew up fiercely, as if it took some panacea. All of the energy was condensed to the Ice Phoenix Transcendence Golden Body and the second Profound Mark of the Three High-grade Marks started to emerge.
“Almost there, almost there. As long as my Profound Qi gets condensed again, I’ll be able to generate the second Profound Mark and advance to the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm. By then, my improvement will be even greater than the second rebirth.”
Yao Yue was full of excitement, and she pulled herself together and burnt all of the energy provided by the Transcendence Pills. All of the Profound Qi and freezing air mixed up, creating an unprecedented power peak. She was so close to generating the second Profound Mark.
“Damn it! Just a little bit more!”
Yao Yue’s heart was torn by anxiety. She could feel the vigorous energy coming from Ye Mo begin to decrease.
At that very moment, an exploding sound came from the outside and the entire Devil Refining Gourd shook violently. The sound of ferocious swearing echoed in the space.
“Ye Mo, the castellan of the Chaotic Devil City is taking some extreme measures in order to take over the control of the Devil Refining Gourd. You guys have to find a way to get out, now,” Hong Ling warned them
Both Ye Mo and Yao Yue could feel a powerful Profound Qi fusing into the gourd from the outside. The power was so strong that it could only belong to a Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert.
“Never mind, stop the advancement to the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm, let’s get out of here now,” Yao Yue said. “What a pity! We’re almost there. Just one small step away from the breakthrough. But no worries. I’m very confident that I can defeat Fan Yi now.”
Yao Yue shook her body gently and withdrew her power into the energy center, trying to maintain the best condition.
Her body was glowing icy blue like a goddess from a snow world. Her aura was more than two times stronger than before.
“Little Yao, your body’s extremely strong now with the Primordial Shenrui Blood waking up the Deathless Ice Phoenix Bloodline. Therefore, it will be more difficult for you to generate a Profound Mark. But, as long as you make it, its power will be much stronger than before.”
Ye Mo put down his arms and shook his body forcefully. All of the frost covering him became mist, fading away in the air. If it weren’t for Yao Yue’s Sky Rotating Technique, which doubled the strength of the Shadow Dragon Power, Ye Mo wouldn’t even dare to come close to her during the advancement, let alone helping her in the process.
“The only thing we need to do is to wait for the right place. I feel I can generate the second Profound Mark of the Three High-grade Marks at any time. Let’s put on our clothes and fight against the two castellans of the Chaotic Devil City. One on one. Let’s take down the tenth district once and for all.”
“Great idea, let’s go!”
Ye Mo’s heart was filled with burning fury thinking of when the castellan Fan Yi and the deputy castellan Fan Jian of the Chaotic Devil City had almost killed them.
Not long ago, their cultivations had been so much more powerful than Ye Mo and Yao Yue. But now, the story was different.
