Chapter 557: Chapter 552 Recovery

"They probably won’t just let it go,"

Lin Wan said uneasily.

"It’s not that they probably won’t, it’s definite that they won’t let it go."

Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head, he understood the temperament of those people very well. They were likely already making a big fuss about hunting him down.

"What should we do? The Great Wilderness Sect is very powerful. They practically rule the area, having offended them, our days in the Blood River Valley might not be easy."

Lin Wan said, worried.

"Wait until I have assimilated the Blood Lotus Heart, then the Great Wilderness Sect will be no concern."

Ye Xuan said calmly, his demeanor as still as an ancient well, then he began to look around, "I need to find a quiet place for cultivation first."

After searching around, Ye Xuan immediately tossed a brocade box to the man in black. Inside the box was the Breakthrough Pill he had promised him.

"This is the Breakthrough Pill, your task is completed, there’s no need for you to follow us anymore," Ye Xuan told the man in black.

"Many thanks."

The man in black, hearing this, was overjoyed. He initially thought that Ye Xuan had forgotten, and he did not dare to bring it up. Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan himself brought it up and gave him the promised Breakthrough Pill. He gathered the pill and immediately bolted in another direction.

He knew very well about the fearsome nature of the Great Wilderness Sect. Although Ye Xuan’s strength was notable, to contend against such a colossal entity like the Great Wilderness Sect would still be quite a challenge. Hence, as a small fry, it was better for him to slip away early to avoid being collateral damage.

"Let’s go!"

After sending off the man in black, Ye Xuan’s figure flashed, and he vanished into a dense forest nearby, which seemed to have a cave, quite suitable for assimilating the Blood Lotus Heart.

...

In the secluded cave,

The Blood Lotus Heart, similar to the size of a pigeon egg, floated slowly in front of Ye Xuan, emanating a sphere of blood-red ripples, as if shrouding the entire cave within it.

The majestic aura of the blood-red energy surged within the cave, and above Ye Xuan’s head, a vortex of Spiritual Energy formed, shaped like a funnel, one end connected to Ye Xuan’s crown. The Spiritual Energy crazily poured into him.

Ye Xuan’s whole body shimmered, the skin intermittently flashing lights and vibrations, exuding an immensely powerful sensation as if it caused the air itself to resonate and emit a soft buzzing sound.

Inside the Dantian, two Martial Souls hovered, enveloped by twin Blood Clouds, the several tiny cracks initially on the Martial Souls were bathing in the nourishing Blood Clouds, beginning slowly to heal.

"Hu."

Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s eyes, which had been closed for a long time, gradually opened. In the pitch-black eyes, a glint of light passed, tearing through the air in that instant.

A puff of black-colored mist was expelled from Ye Xuan’s mouth; his body then slightly shivered, and his bones immediately burst into a series of crackling sounds like firecrackers, and faintly, dragon-like roars accompanied them.

"It seems the injuries are finally healed..."

Ye Xuan clenched his hands lightly, feeling the familiar powerful force inside him. Even with his composure, he couldn’t help but be somewhat excited at the moment. In such a strange place, only real power could provide him with a sense of security. During the previous time, he was always on edge.

Now, he had also recovered his previous full strength, boldly facing the Great Wilderness Sect.

"But... it seems not yet completed..."

Ye Xuan said to himself with a soft chuckle. Having fully absorbed the energy of the Blood Lotus Heart, he could feel that he was currently at the peak of Third Grade Martial Venerable, just a thin membrane away from the Fourth Grade Martial Venerate Realm.

"It’s time to break through this membrane."

Ye Xuan closed his eyes again, waved his hand, and from the Qiankun Ring, chunks of Spirit Crystals flew out, shattered entirely, and finally turned into streams of energy that poured into his body.

Boom boom!

As such tremendous energy infused into him, a deep rumbling sound suddenly erupted from within Ye Xuan’s body. Following that, his skin quickly turned red, and even his dark eyes surged with a fiery red color.

Intense and wild fluctuations spread out.

Inside the Dantian, the auras emitted by the two Martial Souls seemed to undergo a qualitative enhancement.

At this moment, outside the cave, Lin Wan was acting as Ye Xuan’s protector, scanning the environment around the cave.

However, at this moment, several pairs of eyes were wandering around the cave.

"No matter how well this kid hides, in the end, he was still found by us," a youth in black sneered.

"As long as he is still in this Blood River Valley, this kid can’t escape from the palm of our hands. He thought he could steal from the Great Wilderness Sect and still live a carefree life?"

"This chick looks pretty hot, don’t kill her just yet, let me have some fun first."

A disciple of the Great Wilderness Sect leered, chuckling sinisterly.

"Enough talk, let’s move!"

Among the figures, a youth with a hawk-nosed profile stepped forward. A sharp light filled his eyes, and the fluctuating aura around him showed that he had reached the realm of a Fifth Grade Martial Venerable.

"Yes, Brother Lu Yuan!"

The faces of those Great Wilderness Sect disciples turned severe, clearly holding the hawk-nosed youth in great awe, and they quickly nodded before moving into action.

"Hmm?"

Lin Wan suddenly sensed something wrong, her expression turning vigilant, but she was not given much time to prepare. A patch of dense forest suddenly burst open, and several figures charged towards her aggressively.

"Persistent bastards."

Seeing all these figures dressed in the uniforms of the Great Wilderness Sect, Lin Wan immediately recognized their identities. Her pretty face hardened as she drew her sword to meet them. She couldn’t let these people disturb Ye Xuan’s cultivation.

"Little beauty, don’t resist in vain, just surrender!"

One of the figures chuckled sinisterly, his smile full of mockery.

Lin Wan ignored him, her current priority was to entangle these people, but just as she was about to intercept them fully, one figure passed her like lightning and charged into the cave.

That figure was the disciple of the Great Wilderness Sect previously referred to as Brother Lu Yuan.

"Terrible!"

Lin Wan’s face turned pale with fright when she saw this. These guys had obviously discovered the cave entrance early on, and Ye Xuan was still inside cultivating. If he were attacked suddenly, the consequences were unimaginable.

"Little beauty, better watch out for yourself first."

Concerned for Ye Xuan, Lin Wan inevitably became distracted, and taking advantage of her momentary distraction, the aforementioned Great Wilderness Sect disciple targeted her arm, leaving a bloody wound on her hand.

"It seems today is where I might meet my end."

Lin Wan retreated swiftly, her mind in disarray due to the peril Ye Xuan was in. However, just then, a loud "bang" suddenly came from behind her. Following this, Lu Yuan’s figure was abruptly ejected from the cave entrance, spitting blood and looking utterly disheveled.
