Transcending 10,000 Daos [BL] Chapter 310: Yang Xu?

After walking for half an hour, Yang Xu saw a light at the end of the stairs.

However, this light made him uneasy and he beca more vigilant.

[Be more careful.] He reminded and Bing Lan nodded.

A few breaths later, they took the last step and arrived in a wide cave.

Although the cave was underground, it was bright and was no different from the outside.

Looking around, half the cave’s ceiling was covered with white stalactites which secreted a milk-like substance.

The substance collected in a small pool which was the source of light in the cave.

[AXu, sothing in that pull is attracting my soul.] Bing Lan said and involuntarily took a step towards the pool.

[Don’t be reckless.] Yang Xu said and held her back.

However, he was not unaffected.

He desperately wanted to go to the pool but a part of his mind was overwheld with crisis.

’My soul is already at the fifth level but I am still affected. This cave is not simple.’ He thought and shook his head to clear his mind.

After he cald down a little, he looked at the stalactites and the drops of milk-like substance.

[That milk-like substance should be soul milk.] He said and his breath hitched a little.

[Soul milk..., if that’s the case...]

Bing Lan didn’t have to finish because they both understood.

For qi cultivation, spirit stones were invaluable.

In the sa way, soul stones were invaluable for soul cultivation.

Unfortunately, soul stones were extrely rare and it was almost impossible to find one in the Cangxing world.

However, soul milk was the liquid form of soul stones.

The presence of soul milk ant there were soul stones in the cave.

[Let’s check carefully.] Yang Xu said and signalled Bing Lan to follow his lead.

The two walked toward the small pool while using their divine sense to search the cave.

However, the more he checked, the more Yang Xu grew uneasy.

This was because he had clearly sensed an entity before he entered the cave.

Unfortunately, the entity had sohow disappeared and he couldn’t find it with eyes or divine sense.

[LanLan, why don’t you enter the palace for the ti being?] Yang Xu asked.

After cultivating in the soul beast forest for almost a year, Bing Lan’s soul had broken through to the fourth level.

However, Yang Xu was not assured.

Even with his soul cultivation at the fifth level, he felt threatened and he wasn’t confident he could protect his wife.

In such a situation, he didn’t want Bing Lan to stay outside to take risks with him.

Unfortunately, Bing Lan did not see it that way.

Since they hadn’t found the enemy, she couldn’t hide and leave her Taoist companion to face it alone.

Although her cultivation was lower, she wasn’t useless.

There were things she could do and if she really couldn’t help, she would imdiately enter the palace.

However, that decision had to wait until they found the enemy.

[Don’t talk nonsense.] She admonished and Yang Xu could only sigh.

He knew he couldn’t convince her so he didn’t try.

Instead, he focused his attention on the surroundings and tried to find the enemy.

Unfortunately, nothing was found even after searching for one hour.

At a loss, Yang Xu ca up with an idea and turned to his wife.

[LanLan, enter the palace first.]

[I said...]

[It’s not that. I have a plan but I can’t use it when you are here.]

[Are you trying to cheat ?]

[I am not. I promise to let you out when I am done.]

When she heard that, Bing Lan looked at Yang Xu as if trying to decipher the truth from his eyes.

However, she couldn’t detect any lies so she glared at him and entered their ancient palace.

After she left, Yang Xu spread his divine sense and did another search.

Unfortunately, the results were as before and he didn’t find anything except the stalactites and the pool of soul milk.

"There is no other way." He muttered and a small fla flew out from between his eyebrows.

This white fla was a soul fla.

When Yang Xu broke through to the nascent soul realm, he managed to condense a soul fla.

Although he was later injured and his realm fell, it did not affect his soul and soul fla.

Over the years, he continued to cultivate his soul and nurture his soul fla.

With his efforts, both his soul and soul fla were at the peak of the fifth level and were only a hair’s breadth away from the sixth level.

However, this hair’s breadth was an unbreachable gulf.

No matter what he did, he couldn’t cross the gulf and his cultivation stagnated at that point.

Although he felt it was a pity to give up, he thought the reason he couldn’t break through was because of the suppression of the Cangxing world.

In that case, there was nothing he could do unless he found a way to overco the suppression or leave the Cangxing world.

However, when he entered the cave, Yang Xu felt an opportunity for a breakthrough.

It was because of this feeling that he didn’t back down even when he knew the cave was dangerous.

After all, such an opportunity was extrely rare and he didn’t want to miss it.

’Fortunately, I still have many soul replenishing pills.’ He thought and controlled his soul fla to spread in the cave.

His plan was to cover the cave with soul fla and hope that the hidden entity would be forced to co out.

Although this thod consud a lot of soul power, Yang Xu didn’t have other options.

"Co out." He suddenly shouted and urged his soul fla to burn hotter.

At the sa ti, he swallowed two soul replenishing pills while using his divine sense to monitor every inch of the cave.

"What’s the use of hiding?" He continued.

[You are right, there is no use in hiding.] A voice reverberated in the cave.

When Yang Xu heard the voice, he couldn’t help but shudder.

The voice sounded like his and the familiarity made his scalp numb.

"Who are you?"

[Who am I...] The voice started but stopped, as if unclear about its own identity.

[Who are you?] It asked instead.

"My surna is Yang and my given na is Xu." Yang Xu subconsciously answered and then frowned.

He realised he was talking aloud but the voice was replying through sound transmission.

’Can he not talk?’ He wondered and continued to look around.

At this ti, he noticed a figure rising from the small pool of soul milk.

The figure did not have distinct features but with ti, its features morphed and Yang Xu took a step back.

"What are you?" He muttered as he looked at the figure that looked just like him.

[What am I...] The figure started and blinked its big eyes.

Its expression was filled with expectation and Yang Xu didn’t know what to do or say.

He asked the question because he didn’t know the answer but the opponent seed to expect an explanation from him.

’What is this situation?’ He wondered and took a deep breath.

Since the issue of identity couldn’t be clarified, the next step was to ask about the soul milk.

In the end, the opponent’s identity didn’t matter. What mattered was the soul milk under its feet and the possible soul stones.

"Can I have so soul milk and soul stones?" He asked.

When the creature heard his question, his eyes lost focus and he seed confused.

’Does he not know what soul milk and soul stones are?’ Yang Xu sighed and felt a headache coming on.

Under ordinary circumstances, he wouldn’t talk so much nonsense with an unknown entity.

However, Yang Xu felt that he shouldn’t try to fight the creature. This feeling was born from experience and a natural instinct for danger.

At this ti, he felt that fighting the creature would lead to an outco that was worse than death.

"What you are standing on is called soul milk." Yang Xu said and the creature looked at the milk in the pool.

After looking at the soul milk for a while, it emanated a dangerous breath and Yang Xu imdiately raised his soul shield.

However, activating the soul shield was like using paper to block fire.

In the blink of an eye, the soul shield was devoured and a trendous pressure pressed on Yang Xu’s soul.

’This is not good.’ He thought and forced himself not to panic.

When he cald down, he realised his stagnant soul cultivation was loosened by the pressure.

However, soul cultivation was different from body and qi cultivation.

Body refiners and qi cultivators could use pressure to enhance their cultivation.

If the thod failed, the consequence was injuries that could be easily healed with rejuvenation or other pills.

Unfortunately, soul cultivation was much more delicate.

Although soul pressure was helpful, the danger was so much more.

If the thod failed, the consequence was a crushed soul.
