Generally speaking, the only function of the Yin Luo Spring is to help people break through the Integration Stage and become a Grand Ascension cultivator.
There are five stone caves in total. The Yin Luo Spring in the first stone cave has the most concentrated spiritual energy, about twice that of the second stone cave, and then it decreases in order.
After years of data comparison, it is generally acknowledged that even in the mid-Integration Stage, as long as one enters the first stone cave, one can steadily break through to the Grand Ascension Stage.
Therefore, this first stone cave naturally became Lu Xin's.
"Everyone, the Flower Tree Demon was able to leave behind preparations. It's possible the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother also left something behind. You must carefully investigate after you go in."
Before going in, Lu Xin couldn't help but remind them.
The three nodded. Tian Zijing said proudly, "We know. You be careful too."
Then they each walked into a cave.
Lu Xin stepped into the first stone cave and quickly felt a rich spiritual energy, along with a sense of icy coldness, which should be the effect of the Yin Luo Spring.
He scanned the area and quickly saw a pool in the center of the stone cave, emitting a chilling aura.
He didn't rush to absorb it, but carefully and thoroughly checked everywhere, including the bottom of the pool.
He quickly finished the inspection and found nothing unusual, but there was still one doubt.
That is, this Yin Luo Spring pool is shaped like a stone bowl, with no passage underneath and no water droplets falling from above. He couldn't figure out how it was replenished each time it was completely absorbed.
"Could it be that the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother has to come over and replenish it every time? What is she plotting?"
Lu Xin didn't think she was so kind, so he had to temporarily put aside this doubt and began to set up formations in the stone cave to prevent being disturbed while absorbing.
Although there were already formations in the stone cave, he didn't feel safe without setting up some himself.
Soon, a hundred large and small formations were set up. After checking again and finding no omissions, he took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.
"Hiss!"
The icy coldness of the pool water still exceeded his imagination. Even though he was already immune to heat and cold, he could still feel a chill penetrating his bones if he didn't deliberately resist it.
He quickly circulated the "True Yang Subduing Evil Demon Slaying Art" and began to cultivate.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, half a month later, another person finally appeared outside the stone cave. It was Lei An from the half-demon family, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
"Damn formations, they've been enhanced so much this time, but I finally got out."
He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the stone caves. When he saw that the doors of the first four stone caves were tightly closed, his expression changed, and then he turned his gaze to the last stone cave and quickly walked over.
However, at this moment, two whirlwinds, one blue and one black, teleported over, instantly surpassing Lei An.
"Courting death!"
Lei An's expression was ugly. He gathered a ball of lightning in his hand and instantly blocked the path of the two whirlwinds.
"Bang! Sizzle..."
The lightning ball landed, setting off a cloud of dust and spreading a huge current.
The two whirlwinds were forced to stop, revealing the figures of a palace-dressed woman and a black-robed man.
"Aren't you two taking me, Lei, too lightly?" Lightning surged around Lei An's body, and thunderous sounds came from within him, his eyes cold.
The palace-dressed woman and the black-robed man looked solemn.
At this moment, another sound of footsteps came from behind. It was Quan Lingyun, the Holy Son of the Mi Luo Holy Land, carrying a long saber on his back.
He glanced at the three of them, then looked at the row of stone caves, frowning slightly, "There's only one spot left."
He muttered to himself, then walked towards the last stone cave.
"Hmph!"
This action made Lei An and the other three present look at him.
Quan Lingyun had no choice but to stop, pinching his fingers. The long saber behind him immediately came out of its sheath and fell into his hand. He said coldly, "I want the last stone cave. Get out of the way."
"Do you think that's possible?"
Lei An sneered, "According to the rules, first come, first served. I came first, so the last stone cave should belong to me."
"Then we can only let strength speak," Quan Lingyun raised his long saber.
"Wait!" The black-robed man suddenly spoke to stop them. The two confronting men looked at him. He continued, "Besides this stone cave, there is another opportunity."
"What do you mean?" Lei An said in a deep voice.
The black-robed man pointed to the stone caves and slowly said:
"There were ten people who crossed the river in the first batch, and only eight people before entering the Eight Faces Yin Wind Formation. As the saying goes, one step ahead, every step ahead. It will be difficult for the remaining two to surpass the eight of us."
"Therefore, the only people who could have arrived here first are the four people we saw earlier, Tian Zijing and the others."
"In addition, with Tian Zijing's Heavenly Heart Plate and Li Mulin's Heterochromatic Eyes, we can be even more certain of this."
The two understood what he meant. Lei An said, "So you want us to attack the stone cave of that person from the East Sea?"
The black-robed man nodded and pointed to the fourth stone cave, "If I'm not mistaken, that person has the lowest strength. He was brought over by Tian Zijing and the others, so he could only be assigned to the fourth stone cave."
"Moreover, he calls himself the Sanwu Zhenren, with no background. Although we don't know if it's true, he is undoubtedly the easiest to provoke compared to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, the Yuanze Holy Land, and the Nalan Ancient Clan."
The two looked at each other, somewhat tempted.
Just then, the black-robed man and the palace-dressed woman, who had just finished speaking, suddenly disappeared from their places silently.
"Not good!"
By the time the two reacted, the door of the last stone cave had already slammed shut.
"Damn it!"
Lei An's attack landed on the stone door, only raising a cloud of dust. The stone door was not damaged at all. He punched it again, with muffled thunder, but still couldn't shake it in the slightest.
Realizing that these stone doors were simply not something he could break open, the black-robed man's suggestion was simply to divert their attention.
"Interesting, I didn't expect that I would be tricked one day," Quan Lingyun's cold face twitched.
"It's all your fault!" Lei An had to vent his anger on him.
"You can take revenge."
Quan Lingyun sneered indifferently, waved his hand, and the long saber in his hand fell into the sheath behind him, then left without looking back.
Lei An clenched his fists, looked at Quan Lingyun's back, and ultimately did not choose to attack, because it was meaningless.
Finally, he turned his head and glanced at the closed stone door, leaving unwillingly.
The stone cave returned to silence.
Lu Xin naturally didn't know what was happening outside the cave. At this time, he had already reached a critical moment. Originally, he was only 18 million units of mana away from the Grand Ascension Stage, but now, with the help of the Yin Luo Spring, he had already accumulated it in just over ten days.
Now he was naturally becoming a Grand Ascension cultivator.
Another day passed.
On this day, the sky above the stone cave suddenly surged with wind and clouds, and then a figure appeared out of thin air, it was Lu Xin.
"Is this the Grand Ascension Stage?"
In mid-air, Lu Xin felt his nascent soul body and found that it had become more solid. At the same time, he felt closer to this world. He could swallow a lot of spiritual energy with a casual breath.
"No wonder the nascent soul is also called the second spiritual root."
Lu Xin muttered. After the Integration Stage, the nascent soul can be released to cultivate separately, and when it returns to the body, the mana cultivated will also be superimposed in the body.
Equivalent to twice the cultivation speed.
This is an ability that every Integration cultivator has. Now that he has reached the Grand Ascension Stage, this ability has been enhanced.
But it's useless. He no longer relies on hard cultivation.
The nascent soul returned to the body, Lu Xin opened his eyes, and as usual, checked the system panel. The data had changed again.
