Not because they lacked strength, but because they were re acquaintances—not close enough to entrust their lives to one another. If they had been lifelong companions, they might have attempted it. But no one was willing to risk their life in this scenario.
Moreover, even if they succeeded, there would only be one item inside each box. Dividing the spoils would create another issue. Instead, they chose to focus on what they could manage. Their efforts yielded significant rewards.
Hanjun Wangye’s words instantly reminded others of another opportunity. Even without the boxes, they could still cultivate using the Immortal Spring itself.
The river was rich with spiritual energy—enough to sustain them through endless cultivation.
"Let’s go too," Amalia said, putting her box away and turning her head to Kenny Lin.
Kenny Lin imdiately sought an isolated spot. "Over here."
Once Amalia joined him, she floated on the water’s surface and began ditating. Kenny Lin’s sharp gaze swept their surroundings. Only after confirming no one was approaching did he settle into ditation as well.
While others had been scrambling for boxes, Kenny Lin’s body had been steadily absorbing the spiritual energy, nourishing his Yin-Yang Pearl.
The Yin-Yang Pearl was like a bottomless abyss, devouring the spiritual energy endlessly.
If soone had closely observed the river, they might have noticed a subtle lowering of the water level.
Though imperceptible to most, the energy consumption was imnse. For a river this vast, even a slight drop signified tons—if not dozens of tons—of spiritual energy consud.
As vast amounts of pure spiritual energy surged into his body, Amalia suddenly opened her eyes, sensing movent in the currents below.
The upstream flow seed subtle, but sothing was clearly stirring beneath. A vortex had ford around Kenny Lin, spinning forcefully.
Amalia scanned the surroundings again. Everyone else was deeply focused on their cultivation, maintaining enough distance to guard against potential threats.
She then looked downstream. The wandering spirit in the Body Integration stage remained stationary but appeared more solid than when she had first noticed them.
"Don’t worry about the wandering spirits below," Kenny Lin’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
"They’re guarding the exit. We really can’t leave," Amalia replied.
"There’s always a way. The wandering spirits ntioned before that soone else resides in this Immortal Palace. Those wandering spirits are terrified of that person," Kenny Lin said thoughtfully.
"The Immortal Palace allowed us direct entry to the Heavenly Hall, which is quite telling. It won’t permit the complete annihilation of the human prodigies who entered. If it intended that, it would’ve sent us directly to the Earthly Hall for a more straightforward battle with the wandering spirits."
Amalia chuckled. "It’s rare to see your mind so clear, like a polished mirror."
"Ah, what can I say? It’s hard being so clever. Such a burden," Kenny Lin replied, quickly slipping back into his usual carefree deanor.
"Give you a bit of credit, and you take it as an invitation to paint the whole town," Amalia retorted, shaking her head.
"I only want to color your world," Kenny Lin teased effortlessly, his words brimming with charm.
Amalia coughed lightly, cutting him off. "Let’s focus."
Before long, strange phenona began to manifest in the Immortal Spring. More and more people were achieving breakthroughs.
Experiencing this rocket-like ascent for the first ti, so cultivators were so exhilarated their faces flushed with excitent.
"I’ve advanced to the early Deity Transformation stage!" exclaid Yeonwoo Cao, one of the fortunate ones.
Although he hadn’t killed many wandering spirits and couldn’t fight against the Deity Transformation stage like others, the Immortal Spring enabled him to break through nonetheless.
Dongjian Zhao was equally pleased. His injuries, severe as they were, had finally healed completely thanks to the Immortal Spring.
Before entering the Path of All Immortals, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Soul Formation stage. After regaining his peak condition, he smoothly advanced to the next level.
"Senior Sister, I’ve broken through too!" Kailash Ren said, her cheeks glowing red with delight.
Before entering, Kailash Ren had been at the late of the Soul Formation stage, only a small step below Amalia. However, she lacked Amalia’s combat prowess.
On the Path of All Immortals, she had relied heavily on the protection of her senior sisters to survive. This dependence often filled her with sha.
While others relied on their own strength, she needed help.
Fortunately, after slaying countless wandering spirits, her senior sisters had used the spirit orbs to help her cultivation advanced to the Peak of the Soul Formation stage.
She hadn’t expected to reach the Deity Transformation stage anyti soon. Yet, after cultivating in the Immortal Spring for only a short while, she broke through. With her newfound strength, she could finally protect herself and no longer feared dragging her senior sisters down.
"Good, keep going. If there’s enough ti, you might even reach the mid of the Deity Transformation stage," Jiae Yao said teasingly.
"That might be too ambitious, but mid of the Deity Transformation is definitely within reach," Kailash Ren replied, her face still flushed, though she seed a little shy about her rapid progress.
Jiae Yao laughed. "You call that shy?"
Other cultivators also experienced breakthroughs, including Renshu Chang and his group. Their lower cultivation levels ant they advanced faster than those who had already reached the Deity Transformation stage.
Renshu Chang, who had only reached the middle of the Deity Transformation stage with the help of the spirit orbs, now broke through to the late stage of the Deity Transformation stage, thanks to the Immortal Spring.
His Junior Brother Hsu, Senior Brother Dai, and others all made significant progress as well.
Just then, a loud disturbance drew everyone’s attention, even pulling those in deep ditation, like Jirandal Tang, out of their trance.
The noise wasn’t chatter or commotion but the sound of rushing water.
Centered around Kenny Lin, a vortex over two ters in diater had ford, churning the Immortal Spring into increasingly higher waves.
