In one hidden corner of the huge boulder, Li Yun found an extrely fine crack.
The crack was unbelievably thin, so thin that it was practically invisible to the naked eye. Furthermore, it was concealed within the deepest corner of the boulder itself.
If not for the terrifying perception granted by the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye, even powerful experts would likely have failed to notice its existence.
Li Yun imdiately focused all of his attention on the tiny crack.
The next mont, his expression changed drastically.
Through the crack, he could vaguely see the silhouette of a woman curled up inside the boulder.
Li Yun was completely stunned.
"A woman inside the boulder? Could it be that an ancient peerless powerhouse has been sleeping within this huge boulder all this ti? And as the years passed, her power gradually began leaking out uncontrollably, causing the boulder to continuously produce Spirit Stones while the quality of those Spirit Stones beca increasingly higher?"
Even Li Yun himself felt shocked by this speculation.
However, the more he analyzed the situation, the more reasonable this possibility seed.
After all, ordinary treasures could never continuously generate flawless High-Grade Spirit Stones every single day.
Only an existence surpassing common understanding could possibly explain such an unbelievable phenonon.
Li Yun slowly exhaled.
"No matter what the truth is, it should reveal itself soon enough. Since the boulder has already begun cracking, it probably will not remain sealed for much longer."
After reaching this conclusion, Li Yun stopped wasting ti thinking further.
Instead, he directly sat down beside the huge boulder and entered cultivation.
The mont he began cultivating, Li Yun imdiately felt the astonishing effects of the mysterious boulder.
The spiritual energy surrounding the boulder was incomparably dense and pure.
Cultivating beside it was not inferior to cultivating inside the Enlightennt Dragon Hall itself.
In fact, every ti the boulder expelled High-Grade Spirit Stones, the surrounding spiritual energy would surge explosively.
During those monts, Li Yun’s cultivation speed beca unbelievably terrifying.
Just several minutes of cultivation near the boulder was equivalent to his ordinary cultivation for an entire month.
Li Yun remained beside the huge boulder for two full days.
Although his cultivation realm itself did not break through further, his strength at Half-Step Essence Qi Realm beca increasingly stable and powerful.
His aura grew denser and more terrifying with every passing hour.
anwhile, the condition of the huge boulder also continued changing rapidly.
The tiny crack that had originally appeared in one corner gradually spread across the surface.
By the end of the second day, nearly half of the huge boulder was already covered in cracks.
Anyone could tell that the boulder’s complete collapse was only a matter of ti.
Not only that, the speed at which the cracks spread continued accelerating.
By the following day, the entire surface of the huge boulder was covered densely with fissures.
It looked as though even a slight breeze could completely shatter it apart.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Finally—
The huge boulder suddenly emitted sharp cracking sounds.
Its outer shell rapidly began peeling away piece by piece.
At the sa ti, a shocking beam of divine light burst upward into the sky from within the boulder.
Boom!!
The dazzling light illuminated the entire underground chamber.
Then, amidst the endless divine radiance, a figure slowly erged from within the shattered boulder and floated gently into the air.
The mont Li Yun saw her clearly, even he could not help becoming montarily absent-minded.
What kind of woman was this?
Her face appeared to be covered by a faint layer of mist, making it impossible to see her true appearance clearly. Yet despite this, she still emitted an indescribable beauty and sanctity that shook one’s soul instinctively.
Her long black hair cascaded downward like a flowing waterfall while shimring faintly with divine radiance.
She wore a magnificent robe woven from endless starlight itself, and the flowing star patterns perfectly outlined her flawless figure.
Beauty.
Mystery.
Sanctity.
Nobility.
Wisdom.
Every word used to praise won in the mortal world seed completely inadequate before her existence.
She resembled a Divine Maiden who had descended from the Nine Heavens themselves.
Her aura was lofty and untouchable, causing others to instinctively lower their heads before her, unable to harbor even the slightest disrespectful thought.
The Divine Maiden slowly lowered her gaze toward Li Yun before softly muttering, "So many years have already passed..."
Li Yun finally suppressed the shock within his heart before asking the question that had been lingering in his mind all this ti. "Who are you?"
The Divine Maiden quietly looked at Li Yun with her deep and ancient eyes.
Although her expression could not be seen clearly through the veil of mist covering her face, Li Yun could vaguely sense a trace of calmness and indifference within her gaze, as though countless ages had already passed before her eyes.
After remaining silent for a mont, the Divine Maiden finally spoke softly.
"My na is not important. Since you were present at the mont of my awakening, it ans there is so fate connecting us."
Her voice was gentle and ethereal, sounding almost like the whispers of the heavens themselves.
The mont her words fell, the Divine Maiden slowly raised her jade-like hand.
Whoosh!
A stream of dazzling divine energy imdiately flowed out from her fingertips before shooting directly toward Li Yun.
The speed of the energy was so fast that Li Yun could not even react before it entered his body completely.
Boom!!
The instant the mysterious energy entered him, Li Yun’s body shook violently.
An unimaginably pure and vast energy suddenly exploded within his ridians like a roaring ocean.
Li Yun’s expression imdiately changed drastically.
"This..."
At that mont, Li Yun clearly felt that the bottleneck trapping him at Half-Step Essence Qi Realm was beginning to loosen rapidly.
The stagnant cultivation that had remained unmoving for so long suddenly began surging crazily.
The Essence Qi barrier within his body was already on the verge of collapsing completely.
Li Yun was instantly shocked.
He had originally believed that breaking through into the Essence Qi Realm would still require a large amount of resources and ti.
Yet now, rely a strand of energy casually bestowed by the Divine Maiden had directly pushed his cultivation to the brink of breakthrough.
This kind of thod was simply unimaginable.
anwhile, the Divine Maiden calmly looked at Li Yun before speaking once more.
"If the fate between us deepens in the future..."
"Then perhaps we shall et again soday."
The mont those words faded, her entire body suddenly transford into endless particles of divine starlight.
Whoosh!!
The countless specks of light gathered together before turning into a dazzling beam of radiance that shot upward into the heavens.
In rely an instant, the Divine Maiden completely disappeared from the underground chamber.
Only the lingering divine aura she left behind remained floating quietly in the air.
Li Yun stood silently in place for a long ti while looking at the empty space where the Divine Maiden had vanished.
Even now, he still found the entire encounter sowhat unreal.
However, the violent surging energy within his body continuously reminded him that everything that had just happened was real.
Li Yun slowly clenched his fists as a sharp light flashed through his eyes.
"The Essence Qi Realm..."
