The next morning.
"NO!" "Don't..." Ning Luo abruptly sat up on the bed. Her entire body was covered in sweat from the nightmare.
Looking around, Ning Luo breathed a sigh of relief. "So it was just a dream, okay, okay!"
It turned out that Ning Luo had dreamt of Xuanyuan Yu healing him and he had no longer any use for it. Thus, Xuanyuan Yu had mercilessly killed him.
That scene kept reappearing in his mind, causing Ning Luo, who had been worrying about this all along, to become even more flustered.
"This won't do, I need to quickly raise my strength. Even if I cannot completely remove the Soul Devouring Pill's poison, I can suppress it. If I can cure it in the future, I won't need to wait for Xuanyuan Yu to recover from her injuries and completely exterminate myself!"
Ning Luo thought deeply, and felt that his idea was especially timely and correct.
He recalled that before Bi Xue died, she had said that Xuanyuan Yu's injuries would soon recover and that at that time, he would be dead. Now, even the three of them, who had always guarded him, began to loosen up.
He had already secretly observed that Qing'er would not stay at the door for long, but would leave twice a day for two hours at a time. Every time, he would place a restriction on the door.
This not only prevented him from sneaking out, but also made other people think that this small restriction was set up by the Young Palace Master to show that he didn't want to see any outsiders.
If not for this, that enchanting peony would have long ago stepped on the doorstep, and would not have been easily defeated by the combined efforts of Bi Xue and Qing Er.
"But, what should I do? "Do you want to cooperate with Di Kun?" Ning Luo thought about it and immediately shook her head. "Although I also know that Di Kun and Mei Lian are here for the Boundless Universe Cauldron, if I were to tell them about it, I'm afraid I won't be able to gain anything and would only be seeking death."
Frowning, Ning Luo then said with a resolute gaze, "Seems like if I want to live, I can only save myself, and the way to save myself lies in my strength and Xuanyuan Yu's body."
Ning Luo frowned thoughtfully, his gaze drifting away. He was as motionless as a statue in this room.
Usually, when Ning Luo acted like this, she would be lost in her own thoughts and calculations. This was often the case. In the end, Ning Luo would be able to get along with some of the more ingenious methods to deal with desperate situations.
If he did not have this ability, he would not have gotten the title of "Tyrant" in this chaotic city where only the strong were respected. In addition, Ning Luo took in dozens of young men and women who had no one to rely on and lived alone on the streets.
Without the slightest bit of strength and wisdom, how could he accomplish this?
Before long, Ning Luo's eyes lit up like a wolf seeing its prey at night. It also looked like an oil lamp burning in its heart. A bright path led from its heart to the Dao of the Heavens.
"Fine, let's do it. Although it is a bit risky and like we are going all out, there is a lot of vitality in the shadows. I believe that I will definitely be able to overcome this obstacle!" Ning Luo stomped on the ground with a determined look on his face.
After saying so, Ning Luo cautiously walked to the door. He looked around, frowning as he calculated the time. Suddenly, he grinned and said, "There's enough time. We can make preparations now!"
He closed the door. Ning Luo sat on the bed. With a flip of her right hand, an exquisite box fell from her palm.
The workmanship of this small box was very exquisite, and the lines on it were very complex. Inside the bottle was a medicinal pill called the Breaking Limit Pill.
The reason why it was called the Breaking Limit Pill was that it could help a cultivator in the late stage of the Elemental Realm break through to the Appearance Mantra directly. As for Dharma Idol cultivators, this kind of pill could also increase their inner force cultivation and speed up their breakthroughs to the next small realm.
Thus, this kind of medicinal pill could be considered a superior pill. Pang Tong had originally planned to leave it for his use, but in order to curry favor with Young Hall Master, he would have to use the most precious thing in exchange for him working for Young Hall Master in the future.
After sending it out, Pang Tong's heart ached for a long time, but he was still unable to calm down.
Heh heh, this Pang Tong probably never dreamed that his treasure-like medicinal pill would end up falling into the hands of a fake Xuanyuan Yu.
"Thank you, Brother Pang Tong!" Ning Luo's expression immediately turned serious as he sat cross-legged on the bed.
He opened his mouth and sucked in a breath, and that Breaking Limit Dan quickly followed a thin thread into Ning Luo's mouth.
The pure medicinal energy in his dantian immediately dispersed, breaking apart, and in an instant, the refining process was completed.
After these medicinal powers were refined, Ning Luo immediately operated the Heavenly Demon Art at full power, condensing these powers into countless pieces.
Next, Ning Luo would need to rely on the pure energy of the medicine to merge it into his flesh, blood, and meridians. During the process of strengthening his Qi and blood meridians, a new internal energy would be generated in his body.
In the end, this inner strength, along with the inner strength in his Dantian, was used to break through the door to the early stages of the Appearance Mantra. It was obvious that he would definitely succeed in this step. Ning Luo didn't doubt the power of the Limit-break Pellet in the slightest.
As she walked down this path, Ning Luo also experienced intense pain. If he wanted to strengthen his meridians and blood vessels, the transformation of his body would be without a doubt, vicious and without the slightest trace of gentleness.
The medicinal effects were like countless man-eating ants digging and biting in the meridians. Wherever Qi and blood were lacking, the medicinal efficacy was like a nuclear fission, constantly exploding and transforming into Qi and blood. This pain was something which no ordinary person could endure. Many people at the peak of the Dharma Origin Stage were stuck at this stage and were unable to enter the Dharma Idol.
Furthermore, Ning Luo had relied on the Realm Breaking Pill to directly advance from the late stages to the peak of the Dharma Origin Stage, then to the Dharma Idol. How could she be as relaxed as someone who advanced step by step to the Dharma Idol?
Therefore, in order to enter the Manifestation Realm, Ning Luo had to undergo a major transformation, so that her body's strength could withstand the powerful internal energy after the breakthrough and not be directly blown apart by the enormous internal energy of the Manifestation Realm.
The pain from this was not any worse than what he had suffered in the Heavenly Demon Region.
However, Ning Luo knew that she could endure the pain that the Heavenly Demon Region had brought her. Ning Luo must have felt nothing but pain this time. She was not afraid of it at all!
Before long, Ning Luo had reached a critical juncture. If anyone were to barge in and cause any sort of damage to Ning Luo, Ning Luo would definitely fail. She might even lose her life.
Meanwhile, Ning Luo was also calculating the time needed to make a breakthrough. At this moment, he already knew that Qing Er would be back before long. He had to break through to the Dharma Idol before then. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to execute the plans that he had set up later on.
"Break for me!" Ning Luo let out an explosive shout, and at the same time, an explosive sound burst out from within her body. Following which, the sound of flowing rivers could be heard, as though she had broken through a bottleneck.
Once he entered the Dharma Idol, his internal energy would not stop, his body would become ten times stronger, and his senses would be ten times sharper. From then on, he would be able to cultivate divine abilities and techniques. Compared to the Dharma Essence, it was like the difference between heaven and earth, between heaven and earth.
Dharma Idol, on the other hand, could be considered to have truly stepped into the higher levels of cultivation. Only in this chaotic and murderous world could one feel the basic sense of dignity and existence!
