Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough



After Chu Yang had barely managed to stop himself from exploring the underground ravine for a little over half an hour, Qing Yi finally opened her eyes before standing up with a relieved expression on her face. Only now understanding the fact that they had managed to escape from the spiders and demon beasts on their own.

Even if they had both managed to learn more about just how dangerous the mystic realm was and she could even feel that her comprehension of her movement technique had improved to a level that would normally have taken her months to reach, Qing Yi would personally have preferred that they did not encounter such a situation again in the future. Especially considering that there was no guarantee that they would get lucky enough to escape again.

"Qing Yi, are you fully recovered?"

As she was feeling thankful for escaping the life and death situation that they had ended up in, Chu Yang asked her if she was fine. Resulting in her nodding her head in agreement, while thinking about how they were going to make their way back towards the outer edges where things were safer, now that they had ended up getting chased into deeper parts of the mystic realm's forest.

"Great! There is an underground ravine up ahead. Let's go and explore. Although, I think there is some kind of demon beast hiding in there, so we have to be careful!"

"…"

However, the next words from Chu Yang made her doubt whether or not he had learnt anything from their life and death situation earlier, while at the same time also being surprised at the fact that the small crevice that they had hidden inside of happened to be the entrance to an underground ravine.

"Senior sister, I don't think the underground ravine is too dangerous. Even if there really is a demon beast hidden inside of it, its strength should not be that strong considering that the rabbit demon beast from earlier had managed to live in here before we showed up!" 

Seeing that Qing Yi did not answer and was looking towards him with a judgmental look in her eyes, Chu Yang didn't waste a second before explaining why he thought exploring the underground ravine was safe… And more importantly say this before Qing Yi ended up thinking that he just wanted to explore the underground ravine without thinking about the dangers that might be lurking inside of it.

"This is… Reasonable…" 

Hesitating for a short moment after hearing what Chu Yang said before saying this, Qing Yi used her divine sense to look through as much of the underground ravine as she could with the current strength of her divine sense.

Whoosh~

Only after having swept over what should be around half of the underground ravine without discovering anything dangerous or being faced with the divine sense of a powerful demon beast, did Qing Yi start relaxing. Understanding that if there really was some dangerous demon beast hidden inside the underground ravine, it should have noticed her divine sense and made itself known.

Everything made it seem like there was nothing wrong with the underground ravine, she had even managed to spot a few more of the rabbit demon beasts nesting inside the underground ravine. Making her almost certain that the true identity of the underground ravine, was some kind of nesting location for the rabbit demon beasts, a place where they could safely reproduce without having to worry about the powerful demon beast wandering the forest above them.

"So, can we explore the underground ravine…?"

"Fine… We will explore it, but be careful and if anything happens, we will escape immediately!"

"Yes!"

Getting Qing Yi's agreement, Chu Yang smiled happily before starting to slowly make his way inside the underground ravine. Keeping Qing Yi's words to mind as he did his best to be careful and not disturb the remaining rabbit demon beast nesting inside the underground ravine.contemporary romance

"…"

Seeing how careful Chu Yang was acting compared to how he would usually do things, Qing Yi could not help feeling a sense of relief as she soon followed behind him inside the underground ravine with a somewhat curious glint in her eyes.

Even if she didn't say it outright, she was also curious about just what was hidden inside the underground ravine. Would it be filled with nests of rabbit demon beasts? Or would there be something more exciting hidden in the deepest part of the underground ravine…?

Continuing inside the underground ravine with this thought in mind, Qing Yi moved forward while making sure to keep an eye on the rabbit demon beasts and her surroundings while moving deeper inside the underground ravine together with Chu Yang.

"This is…"

As his divine sense was more powerful than hers, Chu Yang was the first to fully see the entirety of the underground ravine… And of course, also what had been hiding in the deepest part of the ravine.

"What is it? A spiritual herb or a powerful artifact? Maybe… A powerful sleeping demon beast!?" Seeing how he had suddenly frozen on the spot without saying anything more than a short exclamation, Qing Yi could not help growing impatient as she asked this. Curious about what he had seen, while at the same time also getting ready to escape in case it was something dangerous like a powerful demon beast that had been sleeping and just so happened to start the process of waking up due to the foreign divine sense of Chu Yang sweeping over it.

"No, its not anything like that… The only thing inside this underground ravine other than the rabbit demon beasts, is a single tree with some weird blue leaves…" Shaking his head as he said this, a disappointed expression appeared on Chu Yang's face. Clearly having expected to encounter something different from a random tree.

"A tree with blue leaves…? Maybe a spiritual tree?" Not feeling disappointed like Chu Yang, Qing Yi didn't give up hope on the tree possibly being some sort of spiritual tree, as she continued moving deeper inside the underground ravine to see the tree for herself.

"I already said its nothing valuable…" Muttering this to himself as he watched Qing Yi moving deeper inside the underground ravine, Chu Yang shook his head before following after her. 

In any case, it would not be good for them to split up inside the mystic realm. Even if it was for a short moment. None of them had any idea when a dangerous situation would emerge-

Rumble-!

"Wha- The ceiling is collapsing!?"

BOOOOM-!

As the ceiling above them suddenly started collapsing, Chu Yang and Qing Yi were forced to move deeper inside the underground ravine towards the small tree with the blue colored leaves.

ROAR-!

ROOOOOAR-!

ROAAAR-!

It was only after things had calmed down a bit that the familiar roars of demon beasts coming from the now collapsed part of the underground ravine allowed them to understand who was behind the sudden collapse of over half of the underground ravine.

"The demon beasts from earlier… They didn't give up chasing after us…" After Chu Yang said this, both Qing Yi and Chu Yang felt a shiver run down their spine when thinking about what might have happened to them if they had decided to leave the crevice and make their way back to the forest above ground. Would they not have ended up in exactly the same situation they had been in before entering the crevice to hide…?

"Hm? But… what happened to the spiders-"

RUSTLE~! 

Just as Qing Yi was about to voice her doubt over what had happened to the spiders that had been chasing behind the demon beasts, the familiar sound of thousands upon thousands of small legs skittering along the ground could be heard.

R-ROAR!

R-R-ROOOOAR!

ROAR!?

Soon being followed by the panicked roars of the demon beast as they quickly escaped in the opposite direction that the spiders came from. Moving towards what should be the outer edge of the mystic realm where they had first entered the mystic realm.

Thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible for the demon beasts inside the mystic realm to leave the mystic realm… Right?

Feeling a hint of surprise as this thought appeared, Qing Yi realized that she had absolutely no idea whether or not the demon beasts inside the mystic realm could leave the mystic realm.

If they really had the ability to leave the mystic realm, it was easy to imagine what would happen to the old Flying Sword Sect that only had a few elders in the Nascent Soul Realm present at the moment to make sure it could still function as a branch sect.

If those demon beasts and spiders really have the ability to leave the mystic realm, I can only hope that master is close enough to deal with the situation before those demon beasts and spiders cause any damage to the sect…

Realizing that thinking about this wouldn't help, Qing Yi focused her attention on the small blue leaf tree that Chu Yang had mentioned earlier.
