Within the Ancient Desolate Land's secret grounds, Hong Ling was carrying Lian Chengyue as she constantly flew past bone beasts. Behind them, a berserk and powerful aura was wreaking havoc in the area where they were battling Li Heng.

Hong Ling did not dare to stop. Although he had suffered heavy injuries during his fight with Li Heng, it was nothing to him who had an extremely strong recovery ability.

In the entire Ancient Tomb of Everlast, nine strong Spiritual Power pillars slowly formed. Eight of them were in eight different directions, and each surrounded the largest pillar.

Hong Ling stopped and stood on top of a gigantic skeleton of a Demonic Beast.

Gua, vicious baby roars came from within the pillar of clouds. The powerful shockwave caused people's minds to sway in pain.

Lian Chengyue, who was in her embrace, closed her eyes and knitted her brows. Clearly, she had suffered a great deal of pain, but with a thought, the Divine Sea's immense soul power gushed out and formed a soul power barrier on the surface of her body, isolating the shrill cries that came from the bronze coffin.

Lian Chengyue's originally tightly knitted eyebrows finally relaxed. Hong Ling held her, and pressed his hands on her forehead, a surge of soul power slowly surging into her Divine Palace, stabilizing her chaotic consciousness nonstop.

As a cultivator of the Qi Refinement into Spirit, Li Heng had completely grasped the power of his consciousness. As a result, his attacks were not much stronger than Li Tan's, but every strike had the power of his consciousness, directly striking Lian Chengyue's soul and injuring him.

Without a doubt, the most important injury that Lian Chengyue had right now was still on her soul. For an injury like hers, it would be almost impossible to heal before a few months had passed.

Before he was unable to figure out the nature of the soul consciousness, Hong Ling simply did not dare to randomly treat Lian Chengyue's injuries. However, once he thought about how he had initially felt Li Heng's soul consciousness, and how the power was almost no different from his own, Hong Ling had a better idea.

A consciousness was not any weaker than Hong Ling's soul power, which meant that it was also a type of soul power. Different from the soul power that Hong Ling had after condensing the Primordial Spirit, a consciousness was a soul power that would automatically be born after a cultivator advanced to Qi Refinement into Spirit.

Furthermore, in Hong Ling's perception, the strength of his soul consciousness was not any weaker than his own soul power.

"Could it be that my current soul power is actually the soul power of this world?" Hong Ling was stunned.

His soul power could control a longsword and sense the danger. It was no different from the consciousness of the cultivators in Qi Refinement into Spirit, no wonder when Canfeng had advanced to Qi Refinement into Spirit, he had produced the same kind of soul power as himself. So this was the power of his soul consciousness.

It was just that the power of Hong Ling's divine sense was much more flexible and powerful than the divine senses of the cultivators that had just awakened.

After confirming that soul power was the power of the mind, Hong Ling immediately became more relaxed. He had always thought that his soul power was unique, so every time he used it, he would be extremely cautious, afraid that others would see through it.

His hand that was pressing down on Lian Chengyue's forehead gently trembled as soul energy, or more accurately speaking, the power of his divine sense continuously rushed into Lian Chengyue's Divine Court and unceasingly healed her injured soul. The girl's originally pale face gradually turned red, and even her somewhat hurried breathing had calmed down.

Finally, after Lian Chengyue's soul, which had been severely injured by Li Heng, was completely restored, Hong Ling slowly placed her to the side.

Hong Ling closed his eyes and sat cross legged, circulating his profound arts. Everywhere the Authentic Qi passed by, his body, which was originally riddled with scars, slowly glowed with vitality. The Authentic Qi gave birth to a new life force, allowing the youth's injuries to quickly heal.

"A cultivator with Essence Refinement into Qi is just too strong. It seems that I have to speed up the process of advancing to the great perfection of Essence Refinement into Qi!"

After carefully analyzing the situation, Hong Ling heaved a long sigh. He thought that after killing a few Level Two Demonic Beast s, he would already have the ability to contend against the early stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit.

If he did not use his Dragon Transformation, he would not be able to fight back against the cultivators of the Qi Refinement into Spirit. However, if he used his Dragon Transformation, although he had the power to fight, the dragon Qi within the Reverse Scale in his chest would not be enough for him to fight against the cultivators of the Qi Refinement into Spirit for a long period of time.

He helplessly took out a second stage Orb and sat down cross-legged, circulating his Jiuzhuan Profound Technique and continuously swallowing the Spiritual Power within.

With Hong Ling's current cultivation, which was at the late stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi, it was already difficult for him to do anything anymore. Therefore, he could only make use of this opportunity to break through.

Boom! Boundless spirit energy continuously poured into his four limbs and acupoints. Previously, Hong Ling was afraid that consuming the spirit energy inside the pellet would cause his realm to become unstable, but now he no longer had this worry.

As long as he had sufficient spiritual energy and time allowed, he could directly advance to the early stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit without any signs of his unstable cultivation. After all, he was at the peak of the ninth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm.

Due to the fact that Hong Ling had been rescued by the first pellet, Hong Ling had already consumed a small half of its spirit energy. The amount of spirit energy that he did not have was enough for him to sense the barrier at the perfection-stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi.

Crack * The entire inner core was crushed into fine powder, falling from the young man's fingers like quicksand.

Hong Ling felt that his own Authentic Qi had encountered a layer of a barrier. He knew that the first Orb had already played its expected role, allowing him to successfully touch the barrier of the Great Perfection of the Essence Refinement into Qi.

He gritted his teeth and casually took out another pellet that was the size of a fist that he obtained from a Rank Two bone beast. Circulating his profound arts, Hong Ling once again swallowed the berserk Spiritual Power that was inside the pellet.

This inner pellet was much larger than the huge bat's inner pellet from before. The amount of Spiritual Power contained within it was much denser than that of the bat's inner pellet, and it was also much more tyrannical.

Hong Ling merely swallowed a trace of the Spiritual Power within this pellet, and already felt his meridians faintly ache. He knew that the purity of the Spiritual Power within this pellet was simply too high, to the point that it surpassed his own Authentic Qi, which was why he had such a symptom.

However, with the Jiuzhuan Profound Technique in his possession, how could he care about such things? He clenched his teeth, circulated his profound arts in great cycles, and used his consciousness to continuously observe the changes in his body.

The inner pellet was shrinking on his hand. The Authentic Qi in Hong Ling's body had finally reached its limit and started to rush through the invisible Authentic Qi barrier. With his previous experience absorbing the giant python's inner pellet, he was very familiar with the way and did not encounter any trouble.

Kacha, as if an invisible barrier had been shattered, Hong Ling's Authentic Qi became even more majestic and pure and tyrannical.

He lowered his head and looked at the beast core in his hand. Even though he had already swallowed for a very long time, he realized that there was still more than half of this beast core left.

As matters stood, it was almost impossible to rely on this pellet to break through to Qi Refinement into Spirit, but it was still more than enough to consolidate the realms at the perfection-stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi. Hong Ling ignored the pain in his meridians, and continued to devour the Spiritual Power pellets.

Hong Ling's cultivation had been completely consolidated at the great perfection of the Essence Refinement into Qi. With a thought, all of the soul power in the Divine Palace surged into the body of the Primordial Spirit in his body, continuously revolving along the soul road.

New soul energy continuously formed within the Primordial Spirit and was sent inside the Divine Court. Hong Ling carefully experienced the growth of the soul energy, and his profound arts continuously circulated within the Primordial Spirit's soul road.

's soul power had also completed its promotion. His current Authentic Qi and his soul power had both reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Essence Refinement into Qi, and his overall strength had more than doubled.

The youth stood up, and looked at Lian Chengyue who was staring at him in surprise, and was a little speechless.

"Ah Yue, what's with your expression, are you stupid or stunned?" He walked over and placed his hands on the back of the girl's neck. He poured his soul power into her body to check on her injuries.

"Hong Ling, how did you do it? When you swallowed the giant python's Inner Core, you were promoted to the late stage of Essence Refinement into Qi. It hasn't even been three months, right? Lian Chengyue looked at him and pinched his skin, "I say, why do you look like a demon?"

Hong Ling was speechless. Was Lian Chengyue praising him or scolding him, but, at the moment, he was not in the mood to care about anything else. In the Ancient Desolate Tomb's secret plane, if one had an extra cultivation level, that would mean he had an extra chance of survival.

"Ah Yue, I want to go to the closest pillar of cloud to take a look. Can you wait for me here?" Hong Ling turned his head, looked at Lian Chengyue, who was still constantly pinching his own body, and asked gently.

"No!" Lian Chengyue immediately rejected his suggestion, "Wherever you go, I will follow you!"

"That place is very dangerous. When the time comes, I won't be able to take care of you!" Hong Ling explained. Lian Chengyue's cultivation was only at the peak of the Essence Refinement into Qi, so he could not be at ease by following him there.

"I don't need you to take care of me!" Lian Chengyue grinned, "Look, I can now control divine intents as well!"

The girl raised her eyebrows and her pupils locked. A weak stream of consciousness rushed out from between her eyebrows and swept over Hong Ling's body.

Hong Ling was shocked as she felt the divine intent Lian Chengyue left in her body, her mind was in a state of turmoil, she had not yet become a Qi Refinement into Spirit, but why was she able to use the power of her divine sense?

"Now, you probably don't think that I'll hold you back anymore, right?" Lian Chengyue chuckled.
