Pure Spiritual Energy

His guard is down. If I jump him now, I can severely injure –if not kill – him. No, no, I can’t abandon my principles. Ah, toss it! inwardly wrestled Elder ng, deciding to sit back down.

In essence, Mu Yu’s green spiritual energy went from a drop to a lake as he refined the essence of an Ascension Realm Ninth Layer cultivator with a foot in Apotheosis Realm. Thus, he experienced a surge of energy even after replenishing his depleted stores when he sat down to ditate. Two hours later, he ascended to Ascension Realm Fifth Layer. While Mu Yu considered it a nice bonus, Elder ng was astounded with the forr’s progress for it was unheard of for Ascension Realm cultivators to go from one layer to the next in that short ti fra.

Mu Yu went on to repeat the process on another Ascension Realm twin, then passed Elder ng a collection of spiritual energy wrapped in a formation. “Here.”

“Are you seriously giving such pure spiritual energy?”

“Should you be so surprised, or am I supposed to be surprised now?”

“You do realise I almost chose to assassinate you because I believed you’d off after you escaped.”

“Why didn’t you, then?”

“… Hmph.”

“I know you’re a man of honour.”

“You really trust that much? I’m a murderer from Life and Death Sect?”

“You trusted with your vitality fire, so why shouldn’t I trust you? Trust works both ways. You don’t deserve to be trusted if you don’t trust others.”

“I dislike the word ‘trust’. I purely don’t like to be ungrateful.”

It was easy to understand why Elder ng disliked the word trust after his trust in Granny ng was repaid with excruciating tornt.

“Whatever the case, we’re going to need to look out for each other if we’re to escape. You can only fight alongside if you’ve recovered your spiritual energy.”

In the end, Elder ng hesitantly accepted the spiritual energy offer. The problem for him was that he was missing his arms and soul, therefore hampering him from showcasing his full potential.

Mu Yu turned his attention back to the five remaining Ascension Realm skeletons, thinking, I know they’re camping outside. I doubt these Ascension Realm cultivators would die fighting their twins, but I’m sure they’ll be sowhat taxed. Even if they lose half of their energy, that’s more than good enough for . Still, I’m going to need Elder ng’s help. For now, let’s steal from these skeletons and store the spiritual energy for others to use later on.

Mu Yu stashed the spiritual energy inside a Spirit Collection Formation so that he could help strengthen his allies. After all, there was no way he was going to walk down all of Third Heaven Palace on his own.

“Where do you plan to get a twin from now that the old witch is dead? Life and Death Sect disciples also use twins, don’t they?”

Elder ng flew to a pile of skeletons and ca back with another skeleton following behind him.

“The skeleton doesn’t have any cultivation?”

Elder ng explained, “It ans its counterpart is dead in the outside world. This one just happens to et my needs among the countless here. I can’t convert twins that are under control. As such, I have to go for ones without cultivation so that the old wench doesn’t realise. I’ve been nurturing this one for years using the yin qi here. Once I obtain my arms and soul, I’ll quickly recover my cultivation. Of course, the spiritual energy you gifted is also going to play a role.”

“Let get this straight: your vitality fire is yang, while your twin is yin. Is that why you got together with her in the first place?” Mu Yu peered at the field of ghost qi overhead. Because of the ghost qi, there was no telling how high up it was.

“… The border of this formation is ten kilotres above where we stand. You can try using that spiritual energy of yours to corrode the border. If it’s possible, we can escape through the opening.”

“That makes life simple.”

The pair vaulted up to the border.

Gui Mohan ended up killing his twin to prevent his twin killing him once awakened. As a result, he also suffered damage, reducing his combat ability by a layer. Gui Huanyin, who had to stop repairing the passage due to Mu Yu’s machinations, and Gui Mingze also had to undergo the sa pain of grappling for authority over their twin.

In a state of recovery after having lost his twin, Gui Mohan raged, “Once I recover, I’ll go in there and kill you!”

“Thank . I’ve been kind enough to co out to et you, instead.”
