The Enlightenment Chamber.
Several days had passed since the provincial assessment, and Yang Feilong had chosen to enter seclusion in the Enlightenment Chamber.
Before the assessment, Yang Feilong could have attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. However, as the assessment was imminent, he had postponed his seclusion. Now that it was over, he saw no reason to delay any further. He hadn't waited until leaving the demon realm to make the breakthrough because he had inquired upon arriving and learned that the provincial demon passage was unremarkable, only allowing Golden Core cultivators to pass. Those below the Nascent Soul realm could not traverse it.
Therefore, he felt no need to suppress his cultivation any longer.
Once his cultivation strengthened, he planned to return to Hundred Bamboo County in Wanshan Prefecture and open the demon passage there. Once the passage could accommodate Golden Core cultivators, Tang Ya could return. After returning, she would find her master and arrange for a ritual to summon him back. After all, the stronger his cultivation, the easier it would be to open the demon passage.
*Hoo hoo~~~*
The fusion of his Nascent Soul and soul was not difficult for Yang Feilong. Furthermore, fusing within the Enlightenment Chamber made the process even smoother.
Three days later, Yang Feilong's cultivation underwent a transformation, breaking through to the next realm. It was worth noting that before breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, his soul cultivation was already comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. Now, with his cultivation reaching the Nascent Soul realm, his soul had undergone a seismic transformation.
Not only that, but he vaguely sensed that he had mastered a space, a space where he was the absolute ruler.
"This must be what Master called the Spirit Void Realm!" Yang Feilong mused. "And that mysterious power should be akin to the Domain that the Void Refining realm cultivators speak of, the Natal Domain?"
The Spirit Void Realm was different from the Nascent Soul realm and also distinct from the Void Refining realm.
It was a realm rarely attained. The power possessed by Spirit Void realm cultivators was known as Spirit Void Power.
This power surpassed that of the Nascent Soul realm. Unlike the Void Power of the Void Refining realm, its might was no less than that of ordinary Void Refining realm cultivators; they were on the same tier in terms of power.
Void Refining realm cultivators refined the void and could manifest Domains. Spirit Void realm cultivators did not need to refine the void; their souls were so potent that after merging with their Nascent Souls, they formed Natal Domains.
A Natal Domain was formed automatically based on the energy system one mastered, somewhat similar to the innate divine abilities possessed by top-tier demons.
"Is my Natal Domain the Yin-Yang Domain?" Yang Feilong wondered. "This is significantly more powerful than the Domains possessed by ordinary Void Refining realm cultivators!"
While its range might not match that of Void Refining realm cultivators, its power might indeed surpass that of typical Void Refining realm Domains!
"If I can break through from the Spirit Void realm to the Void Refining realm, I will be countless times stronger than a Void Refining realm cultivator! My combat power might then be comparable to a Body Integration realm cultivator! And when I reach the Body Integration realm, with the internal and external Domains unified, how strong will I be?"
Yang Feilong's face was filled with anticipation.
He referred to his Natal Domain as the 'inner domain.' It offered the strongest defense for himself, but its range was limited. After his breakthrough, Yang Feilong could sense that his Natal Domain, when expanded, only covered a radius of slightly over three zhang.
In contrast, even the weakest Void Refining realm cultivators could achieve a radius of at least ten zhang after breaking through!
This meant that the range of his Domain was several times smaller than that of Void Refining realm cultivators.
Of course, within his own Domain, ordinary Void Refining realm Domains would be suppressed. This was the terrifying aspect of his Natal Domain.
This Enlightenment Chamber was extraordinary. After Yang Feilong broke through to the Spirit Void Realm, his cultivation continued to climb with his practice, progressing from early-stage Spirit Void Realm initiation to minor accomplishment, great accomplishment, and finally, peak.
Two months flew by.
Yang Feilong emerged from seclusion.
Currently, Yang Feilong's cultivation had reached the peak of the early-stage Spirit Void Realm. He had hit this bottleneck ten days prior and had been consolidating his cultivation since then. He had also attempted to break through to the mid-stage Spirit Void Realm, but failed.
He was not in a hurry. Even against early or mid-stage Void Refining realm cultivators, he felt no fear and saw no need to rush his breakthrough.
With his cultivation reaching the Spirit Void Realm, his near-perfect top-grade equipment could now unleash his combat power flawlessly. Under such circumstances, dealing with mid-stage Void Refining realm cultivators was not particularly difficult.
Upon emerging from seclusion, Yang Feilong encountered Bu Guniou and Tang Ya. In the two months, neither of them had made significant breakthroughs in their cultivation. If the practice time in the Enlightenment Chamber were transferable, Yang Feilong could have allocated his remaining ten days of practice to them.
Qing Luan had not emerged from seclusion, which was within Yang Feilong's expectations, as she had three months of practice time in the Enlightenment Chamber. It had only been two months, so she likely had another month before emerging.
Of course, if her cultivation reached a point where no further progress was possible, she might emerge early, as the practice duration in the Enlightenment Chamber was not mandatory to be used in one go.
Her continued seclusion could mean either that her cultivation had not broken through, or that there was still room for improvement.
Yang Feilong’s reason for using his time in one go was simple: he wanted to leave the demon realm as soon as possible. Once he left, he had no idea when he would be able to return.
Upon his return, Yang Feilong engaged in several dual cultivation sessions with Tang Ya. With his significantly increased cultivation, his needs in this regard had become extremely intense. Although Tang Ya was a cultivation furnace, she was finding it difficult to keep up.
After barely enduring for a day, on the second day, she sent a message to Bu Guniou, asking her to come to her room.
Bu Guniou initially didn't know why Tang Ya was looking for her. However, upon entering Tang Ya's room, her face suddenly flushed. Tang Ya was not there; instead, Yang Feilong was.
"Lord Yang, where is Sister Tang Ya... I came to find her." Bu Guniou stammered, her face red, and she prepared to leave the room.
"Since you're here, you might as well stay!" Yang Feilong said with a glint in his eye and a mischievous smile. With a beckon, Bu Guniou's slender form was drawn to his side, and the room door closed with a click.
"Lord Yang, please don't do this..." Bu Guniou was so nervous she was on the verge of tears.
"Don't you like me?" Yang Feilong tilted Bu Guniou's chin, gazing at her with deep eyes.
Bu Guniou trembled, her face flushing. "I do, but... but isn't this too fast? And Adult Qing Luan hasn't even emerged yet."
"Fast?" Yang Feilong grinned. "She told me long ago to take you in, and she told you too. Don't tell me you aren't ready?"
"Well, I..." Bu Guniou pursed her red lips, unsure how to answer, her heart in turmoil. Was she ready? She had been ready before, and she had even thought Yang Feilong was not interested in her because he hadn't approached her for so long.
But for it to happen so suddenly, she felt it was truly too quick.
The next moment, her heart nearly leaped out of her chest as Yang Feilong's aura enveloped her. Then, she felt a warm breath, and her lips were captured by Yang Feilong.
Instantly, Bu Guniou let out a soft moan and collapsed into Yang Feilong's arms, nearly paralyzed.
After a long while, their lips parted.
"My lord... please be gentle with your servant," Bu Guniou whispered, her voice trembling.
"Alright!" Yang Feilong's magnetic voice responded with a gentle smile.
Bu Guniou was entranced.
She already admired and liked Yang Feilong. Therefore, even though she felt it was too fast initially, after Yang Feilong kissed her, much of her nervousness dissipated.
Yang Feilong was worried that what happened with Qing Luan before might repeat itself, so he was not too hasty at the beginning. Instead, he continuously comforted Bu Guniou, proceeding step by step. Eventually, Bu Guniou was completely consumed by Yang Feilong.
Bu Guniou had been very curious why Adult Qing Luan's cultivation had changed so drastically in such a short period. Now, she understood. Having already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, she had expected to need several more years of arduous cultivation to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, but she never imagined that she would achieve it so easily.
