The two chatted for a long time before finally saying goodbye.

Chen Lingxi stood up, straightened her black robe, took one last look at the young man sitting on the edge of the bed, grinning at her, took a deep breath, turned around, pushed open the half-closed wooden door, and stepped into the deep night.

Liu Changle watched that tall, slender figure until the wooden door slowly closed behind him, shutting out everything from the outside world.

Chen Lingxi returned to Inlaid Gold Mountain to continue his cultivation through Immortal Husk, improving his cultivation level and accelerating his progress in achieving Total Perception and replenishing his vital Essence Replenishment.

"My time in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven is running out; I need to catch up on my progress in Total Perception Awakening as soon as possible."

That's what he was thinking.

At this moment, the Immortal Husk arm hovered in the Void in front of him, radiating a warm and bright pale golden light.

He activated the Dragon-Stripping Dao-Transformation One-Qi True Formula and Transforming into Immortal Husk into his body, merging it into the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform and into the Profound Root that had grown into a great tree.

At the same time, the progress of Essence Replenishment of the Thorough Awakening Divine Ability within that Divine Chamber was also climbing towards the endpoint little by little at an extremely slow but unwavering pace.

"Thorough Awakening Completion can I try again," Chen Lingxi thought to herself.

Time quietly slipped away in this silent and steadfast practice.

More than thirty days have passed. On this day, Chen Lingxi closed his eyes and began to refine the Immortal-Husk Essence.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and took out the Three Three-Mystery Mirror.

On the Three-Mystery Mirror, the white Mystic Light representing Bai Lingze was still in the far distance, but he sensed an aura rapidly approaching.

"Divine Sense avatar?"

Chen Lingxi looked outside the Eastern King Palace.

Just then, a beam of light descended from not far away, landing outside the palace and revealing a tall, slender figure.

The person was dressed in pure white, spotless, but was not made of flesh and blood; rather, it was a Divine Sense embodied from pure spiritual energy.

His transformed appearance was sinister, with an inescapable air of arrogance between his brows; it was none other than Bai Lingze.

Bai Lingze arrived as a manifestation of his Divine Sense.

At this moment, Bai Lingze stood with his hands behind his back on the stone steps, not stepping into the hall.

He slightly raised his chin, his ethereal eyes falling on Chen Lingxi, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

There was not a trace of goodwill in that smile; instead, it carried a condescending and undisguised mockery.

He looked Chen Lingxi up and down as if she were a dying object.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his voice carrying an unpleasant arrogance. "Chen Lingxi, I have come to see you again today to bid you farewell."

Chen Lingxi remained unmoved, still seated on the Eastern King Throne.

Bai Lingze chuckled softly, "Although this is within this Cave Heaven, you and I have ultimately clashed, so you can be considered my opponent."

But this Weiji Grotto-Heaven is ultimately a product of the furnace, and you, Chen Lingxi, are ultimately just a wisp of firewood in that furnace.

Now the day when the Cave Heaven will dissipate is drawing ever closer, and I will never see you again, for I fear you will die in that furnace fire."

Chen Lingxi remained seated on the Eastern King Throne, radiating an astonishing aura.

He gazed at Bai Lingze's Divine Sense incarnation from afar, his expression calm and undisturbed.

He didn't speak, but simply waited quietly for Bai Lingze to continue.

Seeing that he remained silent, Bai Lingze's arrogance grew even stronger.

He paced back and forth for a couple of steps, then said leisurely, "That day on the Ancestral Mountain, you actually used your newly formed Profound Root cultivation to fight against my avatar."

Thinking about it carefully, you only borrowed the power of that fragment of the Slaying-Force Cauldron, but in the end, you only managed to force back my avatar. Without that fragment of the Slaying-Force Cauldron, how could you be my opponent?"

At this point, Bai Lingze suddenly changed the subject, and a subtle hint of smugness appeared on his smile.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Chen Lingxi, as if showing off something extremely proud. "Do you know that my true body in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm has reached the Dao Foundation Late Stage and has cultivated three Profound Root!"

"This avatar of mine cannot unleash my true Divine Ability, nor do I possess any prized Spirit Artifact, nor do I have my Cauldron Vessel here. That is why you were able to exploit my weakness and defeat me."

"And Chen Lingxi... do you know who my master is?"

It is indeed Quexing Xi Family Hengsu, the Xi Hengsu the Xi family!

Xi Hengsu!

That peerless genius on whom the True Lord Xi Family placed high hopes, and was to use the World Essence refined in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven to forge the Great Mysterious Golden Grotto!

No wonder Bai Lingze and Chen Lingxi used the Divine Ability Divine Ability the Quexing Xi Family during their fight.

Chen Lingxi her face without changing her expression.

Bai Lingze frowned and continued, "Do you know who Xi Hengsu is? He is the true Dao Child prodigy of the Xi Family! The reason why the Quexing Xi Family is using the World-Refining Furnace to refine this Cave Heaven is to forge a Great Profound Golden Palace for him!"

"And you, Chen Lingxi... are nothing more than nourishment for my master."

Bai Lingze's smile grew even brighter.

He thought that Chen Lingxi would get angry upon hearing this.

To his surprise, his expression remained unchanged.

He raised his head, his eyes, burning with lightning, meeting Bai Lingze's gaze, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Bai Lingze, you came here specifically to mock me, but I know why."

Bai Lingze frowned.

Chen Lingxi continued, "The reason you came here is to eliminate the inner demons in his heart, so that because you, Bai Lingze, lost to me, Chen Lingxi, your Dao heart will be hindered and your future cultivation path will be blocked."

"You came here to take advantage of the moment this Cave Heaven is about to perish, to crush my spirit with this last straw, to make me die in despair, to make me die with resentment."

Only then can your inner demons be completely eradicated...

Is that so?

Chen Lingxi smiled, her eyes remaining calm, yet seemingly able to see through everything.

"Even so, you have ultimately lost to me... You are a prodigy of the Yutai Bai Family, and a disciple of Xi Hengsu!"

You have cultivated profound supernatural Divine Ability since childhood and have been mentored by renowned teachers.

But I, Chen Lingxi, am merely a cultivator who has only progressed halfway through my cultivation journey; I am just a mortal in this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven.

But you still lost to me in the end, which is really... ridiculous.

Chen Lingxi smiled slightly at just the right moment.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lingze's bright smile faltered slightly, and anger flashed in his ethereal eyes!

He was about to speak...

Suddenly, an ancient aura surged forth from the distance.

Chen Lingxi's pupils narrowed slightly, and his expression changed abruptly!

Bai Lingze noticed his sudden change and couldn't help but follow his gaze.

Then he saw it.

In the far distance, towards the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea, an unimaginable ancient aura is erupting from the deepest part of the seabed!

That aura soared into the sky, breaking through the ten thousand pounds of seawater, breaking through the surging sea of clouds, breaking through all obstacles in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven, and piercing straight into the nine heavens!

The Cauldron Vessel has been created!

It is precisely that Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree that has appeared in the world!

Chen Lingxi's expression changed drastically!

It wasn't because of an accident, but because it happened too fast.

"I originally thought that the Void Turbulence on the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree would take at least another year or two to completely dissipate, but I never expected that just over thirty days after I left Heaven Gate Sea, the ancient tree had already broken through its final shackles and appeared in the world ahead of schedule!"

Bai Lingze's Divine Sense avatar also sensed that terrifying ancient aura.

He was slightly taken aback at first, then an undisguised look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

He turned his head, his ethereal eyes fixed on Chen Lingxi, and suddenly burst into laughter.

After his loud laughter, two cold, murderous intent suddenly shot from his eyes, his gaze looking down at him.

"Chen Lingxi, you are doomed!"

He spoke slowly, emphasizing each word.

"You can wait here."

"Wait for the ownership of that Cauldron Vessel to be settled, wait for the flames of that furnace to burn to your feet."

Then you will know what true despair is."

He finished speaking.

Chen Lingxi gently shook his head, and with a flick of his finger, a Sword Qi soared out, shattering Bai Lingze's Divine Sense avatar.

The Divine Sense dissipated, turning into fine white light fragments, which were scattered without a trace by the night wind.

Only his sinister and arrogant gaze remained, lingering in the Void for a final moment before vanishing completely.

Chen Lingxi stood up and stood on the stone steps, gazing at the end of the sky that had been dyed dark gold by the ancient aura. Lightning flickered in her eyes, and she remained silent for a long time.

The creation of the Cauldron Vessel was too fast.

He originally thought he still had time to calmly plan, calmly cultivate, and calmly wait for the complete enlightenment to Essence Replenishment his Thorough Awakening Divine Ability and perfect his life force, so that he could deduce the final chance of life in that Divine Chamber.

But now, this biggest variable has suddenly arrived, like an invisible hand that has disrupted all the pieces on his chessboard.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions and forcing himself to calm down.

"Now that the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree has appeared in the world, the entire Weiji Grotto-Heaven will focus its attention on the Heaven Gate Sea."

Zhao Duanxuan, Bai Lingze, Yu Jiangwei, and Liu Chengfeng would all rush to the Heaven Gate Sea immediately.

Once the ownership of the Cauldron Vessel is determined, perhaps this Cave Heaven will...

He didn't have time.

Chen Lingxi her head and thought for a moment, then flicked her sleeve!

In an instant, the profound and vast Dao Origin fluctuations surrounding him were unleashed without reservation.

The Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform spun wildly, and the Thunder-Prison Profound Root trembled violently. Countless Weiji Thunderlight burst forth from the Profound Root, surging and condensing wildly around him, like a layer of lightning veil enveloping his entire body from head to toe.

He stood up, his eyes, burning with lightning, piercing through the churning sea of clouds, gazing straight towards the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea.

"Since the situation cannot be changed, I will get involved myself!"

"Seizing the Cauldron Vessel might be enough to make up for the progress in the Total Perception stage."

He pondered in his heart.

At the same time, Chen Lingxi used the Jade Slip left behind by Emperor Daye to contact Emperor Daye.

A faint light flashed on the Jade Slip, and a barely perceptible fluctuation of Divine Sense entered his Consciousness Sea.

This was the echo of Emperor Ying Xian of the Emperor Daye, calm and concise, consisting of only a few words.

The two secretly communicated, but no one knew what the message was.

Chen Lingxi retrieved the Jade Slip, and the lightning in his eyes became even more concentrated.

At this moment, many powerful figures headed towards the Heaven Gate Sea.

Chen Lingxi could sense that in the Void, terrifying auras, some deep and heavy, some sharp and some strange, were rapidly converging from all directions toward the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea.

Those energies vary in strength; the strong ones are like the blazing sun traversing the sky, while the weak ones are like shooting stars streaking across the heavens.

Almost all the powerful figures in the entire Weiji Grotto-Heaven were alarmed by this sudden turn of events.

Chen Lingxi narrowed her eyes, a chilling glint flashing in her lightning-filled pupils.

He raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea.

"I want to test just how powerful my current cultivation level truly is!"

With this thought in mind, Chen Lingxi no longer suppressed the Thunder-Prison Heaven Dao Origin that had accumulated to its peak around him. The azure clouds mixed with lightning beneath his feet suddenly erupted, carrying his figure into the sky.

He transformed into a dazzling, thunderous rainbow, breaking through the surging sea of clouds, and headed towards the Heaven Gate Sea!
