Soul River Shores.
Another half day passed, and Lu Ye completed several complex array patterns in succession.
The Yin Souls, born from the Soul River, were now unable to reach the Burial Demon Sand Land below the Earth Realm.
"Almost done."
Seeing this, Lu Ye let out a long breath.
Although the repairs were slow, there was some effect.
At this moment, the Yin Souls in the Soul River with a hint of intelligence, higher tier at birth, began to seek other places to come ashore.
But within this underground dark river, it was already filled with sealing power.
...
After repairing the sealing array on the Soul River shores, Lu Ye didn’t rush to leave.
He sensed a teleportation function within this great array.
He just wasn’t sure where it led to, so he dared not try rashly.
"Why do I feel this teleportation’s final destination seems inexplicably familiar?"
This thought surfaced in his mind, and Lu Ye felt a bit peculiar.
This feeling wouldn’t appear without reason. Lu Ye thought about the few domains he visited.
To speak of it, maybe just one... the Nine Nether Realm?
Thinking of this, Lu Ye’s eyes slightly narrowed.
There’s indeed a possibility!
After all, rumors had it that the Black Tide Nether River led to the Nine Nether Realm, and this Soul River likely had a connection with the Nether River.
If so, it originating from the Nine Nether makes sense.
"So, through this Teleportation Array... it likely leads to the Nine Nether Realm?"
Thinking of the familiar acquaintances in the Nine Nether Realm, Lu Ye flashed with a faintly curious smile.
If he were to appear again, surely the Domain Master of Youyu Realm would want to string him up and lash him?
After all, he ran off quietly back then...
"Better not. I don’t have the habit of being beaten up. As long as I don’t go, she definitely can’t come over."
Eventually, Lu Ye shook his head.
Although he’s now in the Celestial Realm, Lu Ye remembered Ye Youyu was at the Peak of Celestial Realm, troubled over breaking through the Celestial Human Realm.
The gap is still too large.
Meanwhile, in another place, within the Nine Nether Realm.
The Domain Master of Youyu Realm, in a secret chamber within the Underground Palace, seemed to have sensed something and abruptly withdrew from her cultivation, feeling somewhat bewildered.
"Why do I... feel restless?"
It was the sudden sensation of restlessness that made her end the cultivation, as such a state might lead to errors in cultivation.
The reason for this restlessness hadn’t yet occurred to Ye Youyu.
Lately, she shouldn’t have anything weighing on her mind, the domain was peaceful, even though she knew other realms must be scheming in the shadows, the surface remained calm.
"Right... could it be something happened near the Teleportation Array?"
Suddenly recalling something, Ye Youyu’s expression changed, if true, it might cause her heart to ripple.
After all, the matter of the realm teleportation array not only related to the Nine Nether Empress possibly in that realm but also...
... a cunning Human!
Not catching her, Ye Youyu felt her cultivation was often unstable.
Next moment, Ye Youyu stood up, instantly leaving the cultivation chamber.
Moments later, summoning her subordinates, she inquired and found it wasn’t the teleportation array causing issues, letting her heart settle.
"Send word, expedite the progress, I wish to hear good news within a month," Ye Youyu spoke expressionlessly.
"Yes, Domain Master!"
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Realm Commander responsible for monitoring the teleportation array’s repairs hurriedly lowered his head and agreed.
...
On the Soul River shores, with Lu Ye’s repairs completely finished, the passage of the underground dark river closed again, preventing Yin Souls from escaping from within to reach the surface.
"Completed, the Source Qi intensity in this underground river is actually quite good..."
After pondering momentarily, Lu Ye planned to take the opportunity to cultivate here.
The resources he had, enriched after Mist Heaven Hall, were quite appealing even to those in the late Celestial Realm.
Having just emerged and encountering various matters, Lu Ye hadn’t found time for cultivation.
Now, with events settled for the moment, Lu Ye was keen to dive into utilizing his resources.
"The Heaven and Earth Source Qi here is fine, if not in haste, I feel I could cultivate here for a while, it’s time to use the resources we have."
At this, Qing Yu nodded in agreement.
Immediately, the two found spots within the narrow passage.
Moments later, the Soul River shores witnessed a miraculous scene.
From the dark river waters, streams of Yin Souls kept emerging, birthed from the Soul River’s unique source.
However, an invisible force locked them tightly within the Soul River, only able to surge with the tides, silently wailing.
And on the shores, it wasn’t a no-man’s land; rather, two figures sat there cultivating...
If others were to see it, one might think the two cultivating were possessed by Yin Souls, claiming this as a proper place for cultivation?
Mere moments later, the Soul River shores saw a massive Source Qi storm arise!
The dense Heaven and Earth Source Qi here suddenly seemed to find a gathering spot, rumbling towards the two.
This scenario persisted for two to three days.
Within these three days, Lu Ye’s strength again ascended from the Second Layer of Celestial Realm, clearly perceiving advancement.
As for Qing Yu, her improvement was even more evident, reaching the Earth Realm Second Layer Late Stage, eyeing Earth Realm Third Layer.
Amid their absorption, neither noticed that as the Source Qi within the underground river passage decreased, the rate of new Yin Soul emergence from the Soul River...
Also considerably slowed.
Loss of support from Heaven and Earth Source Qi directly reduced the birthing speed.
Five days later, Qing Yu first advanced to Earth Realm Third Layer.
She had abundant resources, and this time was merely small realm advancement, progressing smoothly.
"Advanced... why does it feel like after meeting the Master, the advancement speed increased?"
Qing Yu opened her eyes, turning to glance at the figure enveloped in a light shield on the passage’s other side.
It’s said after reaching Earth Realm, the advancement speed sharply declines, unlike before the Mortal Realm.
Yet she felt quite the opposite?
From the Master aiding her advance to Earth Realm until now, how much time had passed?
It seemed... not even a month!
If this speed were reported back to the Beast Spirit Holy Mountain, it might astound the ancient figures hardly venturing outside during their stay!
