He Actually Took My Hand of His Own Accord
Zhou Ningtian hadn't expected Lu Qing'an to propose such a price, and shook his head. "I can't represent the entire sect."
"Then I don't lack anything." Lu Qing'an smiled when he saw that Zhou Ningtian was serious.
"Wait, does your Yellow Springs Sect still have the Water of the Yellow Springs?"
Only then did he remember the Yellow Springs Sect Sect's treasure, the Eye of the Yellow Springs, which could eliminate the instability of a major realm's foundation.
It can also cleanse the body's meridians, allowing the body to absorb Demonic Qi more quickly.
There is even a very small chance that a person's special constitution can be awakened more safely!
His three daughters all have access to the water from the Eye of the Yellow Springs.
He could directly infuse Zixuan and Minzi with his cultivation, forcibly raising them by a major realm, and then use the Water of the Yellow Springs to eliminate their unstable foundations.
The two of them will be able to instantly advance to the Late Mahayana Realm, and may even approach the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
As for his youngest daughter, he always felt that she possessed a special constitution. If he used his strength to forcibly awaken it, there was a high probability that he would harm her. However, if he was lucky enough to use the Water of the Yellow Springs to activate it, then there would be no harm.
"Yes!" Zhou Ningtian's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly.
"Alright, then let's exchange it for the Eye of the Yellow Springs," Lu Qing'an said.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Ningtian Outer Dao surprise.
"Confirmed." Lu Qing'an nodded.
Zhou Ningtian nodded quickly. "Alright! Let's agree on that then."
Lu Qing'an: "Okay, then once I find you the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus, I'll go to your place and dig out that Eye of the Yellow Springs."
"Huh?!" Zhou Ningtian was stunned.
He thought Lu Qing'an meant to take people to use their Eye of the Yellow Springs.
Let alone one person, even ten people wouldn't be a problem.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qing'an meant to take the entire Eye of the Yellow Springs directly!
"What, are you going back on your word?" Lu Qing'an stared at Zhou Ningtian with a faint smile on his face.
Zhou Ningtian: "..."
Since Lu Qing'an broke through to the Emperor Realm, he has not sparred with Lu Qing'an again, mainly because he simply cannot beat Lu Qing'an.
Lu Qing'an is getting stronger every day, and now Lu Qing'an's so powerful that he no longer even has the desire to spar with him.
"Alright, provided you can actually remove the Eye of the Yellow Springs. Don't say I didn't warn you beforehand; if you make any mistakes and damage the Eye of the Yellow Springs, we won't be responsible," Zhou Ningtian said, offering a disclaimer.
The fear is that Lu Qing'an might ruin the Eye of the Yellow Springs and blame their sect, leading to the massacre of them.
"OK."
After discussing the plan, Lu Qing'an led Xue Tianfei directly into the formation, then transformed into a beam of light and Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss.
As soon as Lu Qing'an left, Zhou Ningtian and all the Great Emperor Realm experts present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sigh, when I was younger, I was about the same strength as him, but now, even talking to him makes me a little breathless..." Zhou Ningtian with great emotion.
He never slacked off, constantly striving to train, seeking out opponents to hone his combat skills.
But why is the gap between the two still widening...?
"Sect Master, isn't our price a bit too high? The Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus is indeed precious, but compared to our entire Eye of the Yellow Springs, we're still at a disadvantage..." An elder stepped forward with a wry smile.
"I never expected him to mean taking the entire Eye of the Yellow Springs... But it's too late now, there's nothing we can do. Besides, we've been searching for the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus inside for a long time without success. If we delay any longer, my son will break through, and he should be able to find the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus then, after all, his strength... is terrifying. Trading the Eye of the Yellow Springs for my son's future is worth it..."
As long as his son's Emperor Position remains intact and is indeed a very powerful Emperor Position, he has the potential to cultivate to the level of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor.
"That's right! Hopefully, we really can find the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus."
Lu Qing'an took Xue Tianfei and flew into the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss, where the dense Devouring Qi obscured their vision.
Even those at the Saint King Realm would have their cultivation devoured and continuously diminished within this Devouring Qi.
However, even a powerful cultivator at the Great Emperor Realm can maintain their cultivation level amidst this Devouring Qi.
The two of them instantly passed through this layer of Devouring Qi and finally stopped in a river at the bottom of abyss.
This river is an underground current, and its water is not simply ordinary river water.
It is actually the Cultivation-Devouring Water!
The river water is dark black, containing a special kind of dark energy.
This is the truly terrifying thing that can devour the cultivation level of the Great Emperor Realm expert.
Immersed in this Cultivation-Devouring Water, even Peak Great Emperor Realm expert's cultivation will rapidly diminish over time.
The Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus is located within this Cultivation-Devouring Water.
Some have tried to measure the depth of this Cultivation-Devouring Water, but no one has ever reached the bottom.
Even after Lu Qing'an dominated the Demon Domain, he only tried to measure the depth of the Heavenfall Demon Cavern, but never came here to measure the depth of this place.
The Heavenfall Demon Cavern might at most kill him, but this place could easily cause him to get lost in the Cultivation-Devouring Water, ultimately losing all his cultivation and becoming a mortal.
In this Demon Domain, becoming a mortal is worse than death.
Who knows, one day I might end up inside some Devil Cultivator's Myriad Soul Banner.
"Let's go, this time I'll explore the deepest part of this Cultivation-Devouring Water." Lu Qing'an smiled and glanced at Xue Tianfei.
"Okay!" Xue Tianfei nodded.
You trust me that much?
"I'd give you my life, let alone trust you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an smiled and then extended his hand, placing it in front of Xue Tianfei.
"Hold on tight. With me here, you won't lose a single bit of your cultivation."
Xue Tianfei stared at Lu Qing'an's outstretched hand, frozen in place for a long time, unable to react.
Ah?!!
He... he actually took my hand?!
"What's wrong?" Lu Qing'an asked.
Xue Tianfei quickly snapped out of her daze and immediately grabbed Lu Qing'an's hand.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and even her beautiful eyes glistened with tears.
It was worth it!
It was totally worth it!!
"No! I... I just feel so happy!" Xue Tianfei looked at Lu Qing'an with tender affection.
Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled, "Let's go!"
He grabbed Xue Tianfei's hand and plunged into the Cultivation-Devouring Water.
His Demonic Qi enveloped both him and Xue Tianfei.
The moment they entered the Cultivation-Devouring Water Cultivation-Devouring Water, it did not soak their bodies and clothes through his Demonic Qi. However, the energy of the Cultivation-Devouring Water could permeate everything, penetrating the Demonic Qi and entering their bodies.
Emperor Ring rose behind the two, resisting this energy.
This energy will not devour their cultivation in the short term.
It will start to take effect after about an incense stick's time.
Alternatively, if Lu Qing'an and his companion quickly venture deeper, the speed at which their cultivation is being devoured will also increase.
Lu Qing'an smiled and, holding Xue Tianfei's hand, descended at full speed.
Judging from the fact that Zhou Ningtian and so many others searched together but couldn't find a single Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus, it's likely that there are no Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus in the shallow waters of the Cultivation-Devouring Water.
He would have to search in places no one else could go to have a chance of finding it.
When the two of them reached a depth of one mile in the blink of an eye, the water pressure increased, and the effects of the Cultivation-Devouring Water suddenly multiplied many times over.
His cultivation level began to be slowly absorbed.
Lu Qing'an felt his cultivation level decreasing at an extremely slow rate, but he ignored it completely. It was like a huge mountain of dough being eaten away by an ant; it would take the ant tens of thousands of years to finish eating it.
He glanced at Xue Tianfei Xue Tianfei, tightened his grip on her hand, and then used a special demonic technique to connect their meridians, transferring the Cultivation-Devouring Water energy from Xue Tianfei's body to his.
Instantly, the effect of reducing his cultivation level doubled.
It was about two ants that began to gnaw at his mountain of cultivation.
Xue Tianfei didn't actually care whether her cultivation level had changed or not; her gaze was constantly secretly watching her and Lu Qing'an's hands.
Her heart, like a star sunk to the bottom of an abyss, shone brightly in the darkness of the Cultivation-Devouring Water.
She would gladly exchange the warmth of intertwined fingertips for the loss of her millennia-long cultivation.
At this moment, being forever trapped in the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss, immersed in it for a lifetime, was actually an eternal existence she found sweet and fulfilling.
And so, he would never let go of her hand for the rest of his life!!
