Chapter 31: Marrying Lin Qingyu and Obtaining the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!

Late Foundation Establishment stage... Peak Late Foundation Establishment stage... Threshold of Golden Core!

"This...this is impossible..."

Lin Qingyu murmured to herself, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhou Tian looked down at her, a smile playing on his lips: "Senior sister, do you believe me now?"

As time went by, both Zhou Tian and Lin Qingyu's cultivation levels improved rapidly.

In the past, the woman's cultivation level improved slowly, while his own improved quickly.

However, Zhou Tian's cultivation level now far surpasses Lin Qingyu's, which means that Zhou Tian's cultivation improvement is far slower than Lin Qingyu's.

"No, we need to get them to do the work now!"

Zhou Tian immediately had this idea.

Inside the cave, ice crystals shattered and water vapor billowed out.

Tears kept sliding down her tightly closed eyes, not because of sadness.

It was a relief mixed with shock!

"Um...."

Lin Qingyu responded softly; this was the only word she could utter at the moment.

As for any further thanks, she simply couldn't express them.

I don't know how much time passed.

When everything returned to calm, Lin Qingyu was already on the Xuanbing bed.

The aura emanating from her body had undergone a dramatic change.

The originally cold and icy spiritual energy had now become warm and boundless, faintly carrying a trace of pure Yang energy. His cultivation level had also broken through from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to—

"Early stage of Golden Core!"

Moreover, it's not an ordinary Golden Elixir.

She could sense that this golden core contained a strange power of ice and fire fusion, and its quality far exceeded that of ordinary ice-type golden cores!

"I...I really broke through..."

Lin Qingyu looked inward at herself, feeling the golden core in her dantian slowly rotating and emitting a faint golden-blue light, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.

At that moment, system notifications were ringing out in Zhou Tian's mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully become Daoist partners with Lin Qingyu!]

[Ding! Detected that Lin Qingyu's cultivation has broken through to the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Reward: Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation (Fragment)!]

[The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation (Fragment): The first killing formation of ancient times, requiring four sword cultivators of similar mind and cultivation level to set it up together. On the day the formation is completed, its destructive power will be earth-shattering, capable of killing enemies beyond one's level! This is currently a fragment; all four fragments must be collected to complete it.]

[Note: This sword formation requires extremely high swordsmanship from the user and consumes a large amount of spiritual energy. Use with caution!]

[Ding! Host's cultivation level has increased to the peak of the early Golden Core stage!]

[Ding! Heroic Aura activated. +1 Dao Companion. Current total boost: 60%!]

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!

Zhou Tian was overjoyed.

This is the legendary first killing formation from ancient times!

Although it is only a fragment now and four copies need to be collected, once it is complete, its power is simply unimaginable!

Kill enemies of higher ranks.

This means that if he can collect all four fragments of the scroll and find four Golden Core stage sword cultivator partners to set up this formation, he might even be able to kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

This was a godsend for the Tai Xuan Sword Sect, which was about to face an attack from the demonic forces!

Zhou Tian exhaled a long breath, which faintly carried the sounds of swords clashing and dragons roaring, echoing endlessly within the cave.

He looked down at Lin Qingyu in his arms.

At this moment, Lin Qingyu had long lost her initial aloofness and resistance.

She was in Zhou Tian's arms, her body drenched in fragrant sweat.

That elegant, snow-white face was now tinged with a captivating spring-like hue, her eyes half-open and half-closed, shimmering with moisture.

The most obvious thing was her aura.

Although the pressure from the Golden Core stage was still very weak, it was real and not false.

Moreover, the pure ice-type spiritual power within her body now faintly carries a trace of pure yang energy, a mysterious fusion of ice and fire.

"Junior brother..."

Lin Qingyu slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Tian.

Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions: shyness, gratitude, and disbelief.

"The backlash from my Ice Heart Mantra... has truly disappeared. Moreover, my spiritual power... seems to have become even purer."

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender hand, and a ball of spiritual energy condensed in her palm.

The spiritual energy was no longer a pure ice-blue color, but a mixture of gold and blue, exuding a strange aura that was both cold and warm.

Zhou Tian grasped her hand and smiled, "Congratulations, Senior Sister, you've turned misfortune into a blessing. Your spiritual power is now probably more than 30% stronger than ordinary ice-type spiritual power."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyu's eyes lit up with surprise.

She originally thought that after losing her virginity, even if she wasn't crippled, her cultivation would be greatly damaged.

Unexpectedly, with Zhou Tian's help, she not only escaped injury but also broke through to the Golden Core stage, and her spiritual power underwent a qualitative change!

This dramatic shift from hell to heaven completely changed her perception of the world.

The initial humiliation and resistance have long since vanished.

Instead, there was a sense of relief at surviving the ordeal, and... a deep gratitude and reliance on the universe.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Zhou Tian's neck, gently planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you, junior brother."

The kiss was light, yet it carried an unprecedented intimacy.

Meanwhile, the other senior sisters inside the cave were already stunned.

Su Wan'er covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.

Although Chu Hongxiu still stood with her arms crossed, her clenched fists and slightly trembling shoulders betrayed her inner turmoil.

Bai Qian's eyes sparkled with curiosity and inquiry, as if she were researching some interesting topic.

Zhao Qinglian, Long Ling'er, and Qin Ruoxue exchanged smiles, their eyes revealing an unspoken understanding.
