Countless cracks appeared across the Colored Cocoon. Then it began dissolving from top to bottom, turning into a rain of light.
As the cocoon dispersed, a figure of peerless beauty emerged, her purple robes fluttering, her bearing graceful, like an immortal stepping out of a painting.
Yun Xi stared at her younger sister without blinking. An indescribable grace now surrounded her, gathering the spirit and wisdom of heaven and earth. This was the result of merging with the Destiny Stones-recognition from the heavens.
"What is it?"
Yun Ying took a light step and appeared before Yun Xi, as though she had crossed space itself.
Startled by Yun Ying's speed, Yun Xi said, "Nothing. I just feel like you've changed a little, Ying. Also, how did you get so fast?"
"It should be because I merged with the Destiny Stones. Once you finish merging with yours, you'll understand naturally," Yun Ying said with a faint smile.
Having successfully merged with nine Destiny Stones, her cultivation had reached the late Venerable Realm, not far from perfection.
"Mm." Yun Xi nodded, anticipation stirring within her too.
"One more thing. Once we leave, we should both let everyone assume we only merged with one Destiny Stone. Don't reveal the truth," Yun Ying said after some thought.
"All right." Yun Xi had no objections. Merging with more than one Destiny Stone was an enormous matter, and word of it would certainly cause a sensation.
Besides, one of them had merged with three, while the other had reached a terrifying nine. The thought alone was frightening, so keeping it secret was the wisest choice.
"It's almost time."
Following that quiet murmur, a layer of mist drifted through the entire Heaven-Reaching Land. Their surroundings grew indistinct, and everyone within the Heaven-Reaching Land was swallowed by the fog.
