NOVEL NEXT Chapter 76: Chapter 76
[MSBISS] Chapter 76
Everyone's eyes fell on the five light pillars.
The five light beams rotated and gradually shrank. The middle was like a whirlpool, swallowing a huge amount of spiritual energy.
The ground began to shake.
It was slight at first and then gradually became more intense, like an earthquake.
The five light beams shrank to their endpoints and disappeared into the air.
Then five rays of light appeared again on the shaking ground.
Gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow mixed together to form five colors of light that shot straight into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a five-colored object burst out of the soil.
It was a fist-sized bead, with five kinds of light emanating from it.
The five elements of spiritual energy revolved tightly around it.
"Heart of the Secret Realm!"
Everyone's eyes fell on it, and greed flashed in many people's eyes.
Even Xin Zhi felt the urge to seize it.
The heart of the secret realm is formed by the five elements within it.
It is priceless and has little effect on the Nascent Soul stage, but it offers huge benefits for cultivators below the Golden Elixir stage.
Even Xia Yu, who was in an indifferent mood, displayed a trace of desire in her eyes when she saw the Heart of the Secret Realm appear.
She wanted to obtain this secret heart, and with its help, she gained the confidence to chase after Ji Yan and Zhang Conglong to maintain her top three status in Qizhou.
Although she claimed she didn't care in front of her junior sister because she was cultivating her mind, just letting nature take its course, the responsibility as a disciple of Shuangyue Valley prevented her from doing so.
She couldn't help herself, and she couldn't afford to fall too far behind others.
Xuan Yunxin stared at the Heart of the Secret Realm, also with longing in her eyes.
She, too, needed the Heart of the Secret Realm, as she could not afford to fall behind that person.
Once that person entered the Nascent Soul stage, her destiny would no longer rest in her own hands.
The only way forward was for her to step into the Nascent Soul stage so that she could have a chance of survival.
Almost at the same time!
Xia Yu and Xuan Yunxin acted simultaneously.
The two of them appeared in front of the Heart of the Secret Realm and reached for it at the same time.
Seeing each other appear, the two of them slapped each other in the face.
Two massive spiritual powers collided.
"Boom!"
Both were in the late stages of Golden Elixir, at the eighth level.
One palm was enough to shatter a mountain.
As their powers collided, the impact was like a large explosion, and the shockwave shook everyone around them, turning their faces pale and making their blood surge.
As the weakest person present, Xiao Ye, who was only at the Qi refining stage, felt her throat become sweet, and blood welled up in her mouth.
Xiao Ye quickly gritted her teeth and swallowed the blood.
Along the way, she had already vomited too much blood. Even if she vomited again, she couldn't recover, even if she went back and killed a few more spiritual chickens to make soup.
With this clash, Xia Yu and Xuan Yunxin each retreated, temporarily giving up their claim to the Heart of the Secret Realm.
The two locked eyes, knowing that they needed to defeat the other to obtain the heart.
Xuan Yunxin licked her red lips and smiled, "Sister Xia Yu, be generous and give me the Heart of the Secret Realm, okay?"
"Sister, I will remember your kindness and repay you in the future."
"For example, I could find you a good husband?"
Xia Yu's expression remained indifferent as she replied calmly, "Miss Xuan, why not be generous and give me the Heart of the Secret Realm? If you need anything, just ask."
"I'll try my best to accommodate you."
Xuan Yunxin thought to herself, "What a pity; what I truly want is the Heart of the Secret Realm."
"Why are you fighting with me?"
Xia Yu countered, "Why do you want to fight with me?"
"Well, it seems that we won't achieve anything without fighting."
Xuan Yunxin shook her head, feeling a twinge of regret.
However, as soon as she sighed, she immediately took action.
A spiritual talisman appeared in her hand and zipped toward Xia Yu in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
The battle between the two commenced.
Seeing Xia Yu and Xuan Yunxin clash, Bian Rourou exclaimed, "Let's go help too."
"Where is the second senior brother?" Xiao Ye asked, surprised.
Lu Chen had disappeared.
"Don't worry about him," Bian Rourou replied. "Let's go!"
However, just as the three were about to take action, Xin Zhi appeared with someone.
Xin Zhi looked at Xiao Ye, Bian Rourou, and Fang Xiao with a strange look in his eyes.
Although the beauty of these three was not on par with Xia Yu and Xuan Yunxin, they were only slightly inferior.
No matter where you placed them, they would be considered first-class beauties.
He then smiled like a gentleman and said, "You three, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"
Bian Rourou shouted rudely, "Get out of our way."
Xin Zhi replied, "Sorry, you can't interfere in Senior Sister Xuan's fight."
"How about we just have a drink and talk here?"
Bian Rourou retorted, "Who do you think you are?"
Xiao Ye nodded in agreement; indeed, he was far worse than her two senior brothers.
Xin Zhi's face grew gloomy. "It seems you prefer to forgo courtesy and choose punishment instead. Fine, have it your way."
The talisman exploded, creating a massive blast that left a pit about ten meters deep where Xia Yu had been standing.
After Xuan Yunxin threw out a spiritual talisman, she immediately vanished.
An ice spike formed where she had just been, filling the air with a cold aura and freezing the ground beneath with a thick layer of ice.
Seeing that her spells could not threaten Xuan Yunxin, a long sword appeared in Xia Yu's hand. She channeled her spiritual power, and her figure floated toward Xuan Yunxin's heart like the wind.
The long sword in her hand swung expertly, employing mysterious sword techniques.
The sword quivered, and whirlpools suddenly emerged one after another in the air.
The vortex danced in the air, carrying a sinister murderous intent, shrouding Xuan Yunxin's heart.
Xuan Yunxin's face turned solemn.
These whirlpools appeared irregular, but their positioning was very precise. They were interconnected like a cage, sealing all escape routes around her heart.
Moreover, the vortex kept advancing toward Xuan Yunxin's heart.
The spiraling currents resembled rotating gears, like the teeth of a ferocious beast that chose its prey, imbued with endless murderous intent.
Xuan Yunxin did not dare to be careless; two spiritual talismans appeared in her hands.
"Go!" she shouted.
Two red talismans were cast into the whirlpool.
A buzzing sound reverberated as the whirlpool prepared to devour the two talismans.
"Boom!"
The two spiritual talismans exploded, unleashing powerful, violent spiritual energy.
"Boom."
As the powerful energy struck, the whirlpools exploded one after another.
Eventually, after the blasts swept through the air, some spiritual energy was still venting towards Xia Yu.
However, this marked the end of Xuan Yunxin's tactics. Xia Yu expertly diffused the violent spiritual energy with a deft flick of her sword.
Xuan Yunxin laughed, "Sister Xia Yu, what a magnificent swordsman!"
"It's a pity that you haven't grasped the sword's intent."
Xia Yu replied calmly, "If I truly understood the sword's intent, you would definitely not be my opponent."
Xuan Yunxin paused for a moment; this was indeed the truth.
Once one comprehends the sword intent, they become invincible within the same realm.
Had Xia Yu grasped the sword intent, Xuan Yunxin would have turned tail and fled without a word.
But!
Xuan Yunxin grinned broadly and said, "It's a pity you are not Ji Yan and lack his talent."
"In Qizhou, among the younger generation who grasp the sword's intent, Ji Yan is unmatched."
"You are still far behind him."
Xuan Yunxin had intended her words to hit Xia Yu.
As she said, in order to win, one must seize every opportunity to undermine their opponent.
However, her words appeared to have no impact on Xia Yu.
When Xia Yu heard Xuan Yunxin claim that only Ji Yan understood the sword's intent, she couldn't help but glance in Lu Chen's direction.
Here, too, was someone who understood the sword's intent.
But when she looked toward where Lu Chen was, she was left stunned.
