"I rember Friend Fang said before that after taking the Immortal Pill, he might suffer severe injuries but wouldn’t be in mortal danger... let’s wait and see..."
Xuan Feng Venerable said this aloud, though he felt the sa anxiety as Ye Wui.
Seeing Fang Bai’s terrifying condition, Xuan Feng Venerable thought it might be an auspicious sign or a bad on.
An auspicious sign would be that this blood-seeping condition is a normal reaction after Fang Bai ingested the Immortal Pill. It would improve, and then his cultivation level would advance, significantly increasing his power.
A bad on would be that after a large amount of blood seeped from his body, he would start to swell like an inflated balloon and eventually explode, his life extinguished.
Yan Muyu dared not look at Fang Bai, with hands clasped, chanting softly, her expression solemn as if praying for Fang Bai.
By the evening of the third day, blood continued to seep from Fang Bai’s body, gradually solidifying, forming a thick blood cocoon that enveloped Fang Bai entirely.
Although Fang Bai’s aura beca extrely weak, it never disappeared, giving a slight sense of relief to the three of them, including Ye Wui.
Ye Wui stared at this thick blood cocoon, hoping Fang Bai could erge like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, like a phoenix reborn from fire, suddenly bursting out and appearing lively before her eyes.
The blood cocoon remained unmoving throughout the night, and Ye Wui and the others did not take their eyes off it, hoping for a miracle to happen.
On the morning of the fourth day, a few soft cracking sounds startled Ye Wui and the others.
"Look, the blood cocoon is breaking..."
Yan Muyu pointed at the blood cocoon, clapping her hands and cheering.
Ye Wui and Xuan Feng Venerable both perked up, their eyes focused on the thick blood cocoon that was gradually cracking, eyes not blinking for a second.
Under their watchful gaze, more and more cracks appeared on the blood cocoon, and finally it burst open like a lotus flower, scattering fragnts around.
"Boom!"
In that instant, two terrifying shockwaves of spiritual energy surged outwards, spreading violently, affecting a radius of over ten miles, with a force akin to a storm unleashed by Xuan Feng Venerable’s attack.
Ye Wui and the others, who stood only a hundred yards away from Fang Bai, were instantly engulfed by these two shockwaves.
Fortunately, Xuan Feng Venerable reacted in ti, forming a protective shield that covered the two won. Otherwise, with their cultivation levels, they would have been swept into the air like leaves in a storm, rolling back dozens of yards, crashing to the ground with serious injuries.
When the turbulence subsided, and the dust settled, the three of them focused their eyes again on the cracked blood cocoon, discovering Fang Bai still sitting cross-legged, though now without a stitch on him.
At this mont, there wasn’t a trace of blood left on him; his skin was like jade, pristine and translucent, putting most won in the world to sha.
From afar, he appeared with a faint smile on his lips, his eyes deep as the starry sky, his thick black hair fluttering in the wind, exuding an aura of transcendence and celestial elegance.
Ye Wui was overjoyed upon realizing Fang Bai was unhard and almost cried out in excitent. Realizing it was improper to gaze at him so intently, she blushed and turned her head away in embarrassnt.
Even though she was Fang Bai’s confidante, closely connected, they had yet to beco partners in Martial Dao, so seeing Fang Bai’s current appearance naturally made her shy.
As she turned her head, she covered Yan Muyu’s eyes with her hands, whispering, "Qingyu, you can’t look! Too much for the eyes!"
The two beauties, one tall and one short, turned their heads away, not daring to look at Fang Bai. However, Xuan Feng Venerable was unperturbed, his eyes scanning Fang Bai and exclaiming, "Thunder Tribulation Sixth Level! In just three days and nights, he advanced two levels in the Thunder Tribulation Realm! This Immortal Pill is indeed extraordinary!"
He knew Fang Bai had been at the Thunder Tribulation Fourth Level initially, but now had directly advanced to the Sixth Level, undoubtedly thanks to the Immortal Pill’s assistance.
What shocked Xuan Feng Venerable even more was that the two waves of energy that Fang Bai had just released upon advancing were terrifying, rivaling even his own, a Thunder Tribulation Ninth Level expert.
A newly advanced Thunder Tribulation Sixth Level expert could release an aura that rivaled a Thunder Tribulation Ninth Level expert, raising the question of how many secrets Fang Bai held within him?
Xuan Feng Venerable found himself increasingly unable to see through Fang Bai.
Before anyone noticed, Fang Bai had already stood up, now wearing a set of clothes, white as snow, with steps seemingly gliding over the waves, drifting towards them.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Ye Wui saw Xuan Feng Venerable stand up beside her and turn suddenly, seeing Fang Bai already near.
"Fang Bai!"
Ye Wui couldn’t contain her endless joy and, releasing her hold on Yan Muyu, flung herself into Fang Bai’s embrace, like a return of a swallow to the forest.
As she nestled in Fang Bai’s arms, she caught a faint fresh scent from him, sowhat resembling the Immortal Pill.
"I’m fine. Sorry for worrying you!"
After Ye Wui withdrew from his embrace, taking two steps back, Fang Bai noticed the tears in her eyes, knowing that his three-day-and-night cultivation had frightened her. Seeing him safe, she couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.
Ye Wui wiped her tears, sniffled, and with a smile on her face, choked up, "As long as you’re safe."
Yan Muyu also rushed over, tugging at Fang Bai’s sleeve and asked, "Big brother, did you advance? I can see you’ve changed a lot!"
After advancing to Thunder Tribulation Sixth Level, there were not many visible changes in Fang Bai, but the internal changes in his body significantly altered his aura, which Yan Muyu could instantly recognize.
Xuan Feng Venerable looked Fang Bai over, clicking his tongue in admiration, saying, "You managed to withstand the force of the Immortal Pill; your physique is indeed exceptional! Any other Thunder Tribulation expert at your level would have probably lost their life, though."
Fang Bai smiled and said, "My physique is indeed sowhat unique. That’s what gave the confidence to take the risk and consu the Immortal Pill. Xuan Feng old friend, don’t rush to try it out as well, for if you fail, you won’t even have the chance to regret it!"
Xuan Feng Venerable chuckled, "No need to remind repeatedly; I understand. I wouldn’t joke with my own life!"
Fang Bai glanced upward and said, "We’ve been down here for several days; those above might be getting anxious. Shall we go up now?"
Xuan Feng Venerable’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and he firmly patted his chest, saying, "Okay! Let’s ascend together!"
He knew that at the crevice edge above, Green Lotus Heretic Venerable and other Thunder Tribulation experts, who harbored ill intentions towards Ye Wui and Yan Muyu, might not have left yet.
If they returned empty-handed this ti, they might dare not return for a long while.
But now, with both his and Fang Bai’s strength greatly increased, especially with him wielding the Half-Immortal Axe, making defeating Green Lotus Heretic Venerable very possible.
