Chapter 121: Shocked Li Shenruo
After a while, patting her slightly bloated little belly, Li Yourong let out a satisfied belch. The previous feelings of grievance had quietly dissipated over the course of this meal.
During this time, Li Shenruo watched her younger sister devour her food eagerly, opting not to retreat for secluded cultivation. However, Li Shenruo also discovered something that left her utterly shocked.
"Yourong, when did you break through to the Seventh Heaven of the Profound Sky Realm?"
It wasn't until her sister finished eating that Li Shenruo finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
"Hmm... It was after we came up the mountain. Master had Yourong and Senior Sister take a bath, and then I had a breakthrough. Oh, that's right! Yourong is currently cultivating the technique that Master bestowed upon her. It's truly remarkable!"
Li Yourong narrowed her eyes, basking in the sun after the meal, radiating a sense of contentment and ease.
"Bath, took a bath? Hold on! Are you saying that you switched cultivation techniques!?"
Li Shenruo was somewhat baffled. Breaking through two realms just by taking a bath seemed unbelievably implausible. However, right after, she realized something even more astonishing.
Yourong switched cultivation techniques, yet she reached the Seventh Heaven of the Profound Sky Realm, effectively breaking through two realms?
Li Shenruo herself had just switched to an Immortal technique. Her cultivation had dropped from the Ninth Heavenly Realm of the Profound Sky Realm to the current Seventh Heavenly Realm. Although, given her previous experience, she could likely ascend back to the Ninth Heavenly Realm or even the Unity Realm in no time.
But... why did Yourong's switch in techniques lead to advancement instead of regression?
"Hmm! The technique Master gave us is really powerful! So, Sister, don't feel bad about not being able to defeat Senior Sister. After all, Senior Sister cultivates the technique Master bestowed upon her!
"Even if Yourong uses her divine ability and takes Senior Sister's Heavenly Demon Finger head-on, it would be quite painful! Perhaps it'll be better once Yourong catches up to Senior Sister's realm!"
Ignoring her sister's astonishment, Li Yourong recalled the time after she first practiced the Chaos Holy Dragon Scripture upon ascending the mountain.
"Okay!"
Li Yourong nodded, naturally not refusing her sister's straightforward request. Soon, the two arrived at the area where they had battled moments ago.
Li Shenruo gazed at the collapsed hall, her hands still trembling slightly. She was still overwhelmed by the terror of the Heavenly Demon Finger's might and the profound respect she held for Leng Yanran.
Although their ages were similar, Leng Yanran made her look up, unattainable and far beyond reach! This was something she had never experienced in the Eastern Domain.
A group of Elders who were preparing to repair the hall glanced over as the sisters arrived, curiosity evident in their eyes.
"Sister, this is the technique contained in the first part of Master's transmitted art. Holy Dragon Transformation!"
Li Yourong stood her ground, wasting no time. She immediately executed the technique contained in the first part of the Chaos Holy Dragon Scripture – the Holy Dragon Transformation. As her words fell, a golden dragon shadow manifested behind her.
"Hiss!!! This is the unique draconic aura of the Dragon Race!"
The originally curious expression of the Great Elder shrank abruptly as he saw the golden dragon shadow. Immediately afterward, everyone present was enveloped in a thick draconic aura.
Although Li Yourong's cultivation wasn't high – just at the seventh level of the Profound Sky Realm – the draconic aura she radiated inherently suppressed all creatures. As they gazed at Li Yourong, the astonishment on the faces of the Elders was undeniable.
Among them, Li Shenruo was closest and felt the aura most acutely. After her sister's execution of the divine technique, she seemed to have transformed into a true dragon, exuding the unique essence of the dragon race.
Even her pupils seemed to gradually change into the form of a dragon, emitting a faint halo of golden light. The golden dragon illusion slowly enveloped Li Yourong, and as it dissipated, it transformed into a fully armored dragon-scale armor, securely protecting her within.
"This... What level of technique could contain such a terrifying divine ability? Great Elder, can you discern the grade of Yourong's technique?"
Li Shenruo stared at her sister, now covered in the dragon-scale armor, her shock replaced by certainty. She turned to the Great Elder, the most knowledgeable of the Holy Mountain, and inquired with wide eyes.
