A familiar scene played out again - a dense, milky white halo emerged, similar in size to the one from the second box. Like a nestling swallow, it accurately sank into the center of her eyebrows.
Pure energy merged into her vast sea of cultivation again, bringing about clearly discernible growth.
"Another year of cultivation has been added." Biji felt the changes in her body and said softly, her tone calm, but the initial sense of disappointment and absurdity was gone.
Di Tian folded his arms and watched with cold eyes, letting out an imperceptible snort from his nose. He still seemed to be dismissive of such a "small" gain, but his frown relaxed slightly, at least he no longer thought that this was a complete farce.
Gu Yuena stood aside quietly, the depths of her purple pupils flashing with light of thought. What she looked at was not the year of cultivation itself, but the rules involved in the "endowment" process. This method of directly transforming energy and ignoring the cultivation process touches a certain origin of the world.
Brigitte did not stop and picked up the fifth blind box almost immediately.
Open.
The milky white halo emerges and merges again.
"It's still a year." Brigitte reported the result, her tone even a little accustomed.
Ling Ye explained at the side in a timely manner: "'Cultivation Improvement' is a common type of reward in the blind box, but the amount is random. It seems that Senior Brigitte's current luck is in a stable range."
Bi Ji glanced at him, noncommittal, and already reached out to the sixth blind box. It is more like she is having a novel experience now. Every time she starts it, she has a slight sense of anticipation of "what will it be next time".
The sixth box lid is opened.
This time, the milky white halo coming out of the box was obviously richer and brighter than the previous two times, and the volume was also slightly larger! The halo integrated into the body, and Brigitte could clearly feel that the energy gained this time was far greater than before!
"Huh?" She let out a soft sigh, and felt it carefully, with a look of confirmation on her face, "This... is almost two years' worth."
"Oh?" Gu Yuena raised her eyebrows slightly.
Ditian's eyes also focused on him again, with a hint of scrutiny. Has the balance started to fluctuate?
Ling Ye's heart moved slightly. It seemed that the probability system had begun to operate normally, and there were rewards higher than "one year".
Brigitte’s curiosity was aroused again by this small fluctuation. She did not pause and directly picked up the seventh blind box.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, a wave of energy stronger than the sixth one was emitted! That milky white halo is almost dazzling, and the purity and total amount of energy contained in it have obviously risen to another level!
The halo couldn't wait to blend into Brigitte's body and turned into a warm current, solidly pushing her cultivation level up a little.
"This is..." Brigitte closed her eyes and carefully measured the increase this time. After a moment, she opened her eyes, and finally couldn't help showing a trace of obvious surprise in her emerald green eyes, "It's more this time!"
Four blind boxes were opened continuously to improve the cultivation level, and a total of seven years of cultivation level have been obtained.
Although seven years is still a drop in the ocean for her who has more than 500,000 years of cultivation, the key point is - what did she pay to obtain these cultivations?
She just opened four boxes easily!
There is no need to sit in seclusion, there is no tedious process of absorbing and refining the vitality of heaven and earth, and there is no trouble of bottlenecks, it is so easy to obtain!
Biji finally couldn't help but turn her head and looked at Gu Yuena, her tone filled with a sense of surprise and a hint of uncontrollable excitement like discovering a new world: "My lord! This... this thing is really incredible!"
She pointed at the opened and unopened blind boxes on the ground, and continued: "In just a short time, opening these small boxes has given me seven years of cultivation! This... this is simply..." If I can keep opening the box, won't I have to practice hard? Even though it's not much every time, it adds up to a lot, and it's effortless! "
Her tone was brisk, and she was obviously attracted by this novel and easy way to increase cultivation, and she even felt a little "addicted".
Hearing this, Di Tian frowned again and said in a deep voice: "Bigi, don't be fooled by such small gains! The foundation of cultivation is very important, how can you blindly pursue quick results? How can you know that there are no hidden dangers in this kind of power obtained out of thin air?" He has always been extremely wary of this method that goes against common sense.
Gu Yuena spoke slowly, with a cold and deep voice: "Ditian, there is no need to rush to deny it. This method of granting power is indeed strange. It seems to be quick, but its energy is extremely pure, and there is no trace of it when it is integrated. Any rejection and discomfort do not seem to be essentially different from the results of one's own hard work, at least for now."
She looked at Ling Ye and asked: "Is there a risk of an unstable foundation for this kind of improvement in cultivation?"
Ling Ye replied: "The essence of the 'cultivation improvement' produced by Blind Box is to extract the purest energy from the world's rules. Its effect is equivalent to the absorption of the most perfect 'enlightenment'. It will only consolidate the foundation without any risk of vanity. This is also the value of Blind Box."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, said no more, and just motioned for Brigitte to continue. Her eyes became more focused. Apparently, the cultivation rewards Biji issued one after another made her believe a little more in the possibility of "solving the problem of soul beast cultivation" that Ling Ye said before. If this kind of blind box can be mass-produced, even if the amount of each increase is small, it will be unimaginable good news for the entire soul beast group, especially for those soul beasts at the bottom who are slow to practice!
Bi Ji was in a better mood after receiving Gu Yuena's approval. She smiled and said to Di Tian: "Boss, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I am sensible. I just think this method is really interesting and saves effort."
As she said that, she reached out to the eighth blind box with anticipation.
The milky white halo arrived as expected, gently blending into her body.
"Well, another two years." She nodded slightly, her tone calm, as if she was stating an ordinary trivial matter. She has been continuously improving her cultivation level. Although the single amount is not large, this relaxed and free way of growth without side effects has made her change from her initial disdain to a happy acceptance.
Her eyes immediately fell on the ninth blind box, and she opened it without even pausing.
However, this time, the familiar energy halo did not appear in the box.
Instead, two hand-sized and slightly rough-made rag dolls lay quietly at the bottom of the box. The doll is sewn from unknown gray fabric, with abstract humanoid facial features outlined in simple red lines. It looks simple and unpretentious, even a little... childish and ridiculous.
The indifference on Brigitte's face instantly solidified and turned into full astonishment. She carefully picked up one of the dolls with two fingers, held it up to her eyes, and looked over it over and over, her emerald green eyes filled with confusion.
A trace of faint doubt also flashed across Gu Yuena's beautiful face. Her powerful consciousness swept across the dolls, but she could not detect any energy fluctuations or traces of rules, as if these were two of the most ordinary folk dolls.
Di Tian’s reaction was much more direct. His majestic face instantly darkened, and the suppressed aura of terror around him began to rise again, like the dead silence before a storm. His cold golden vertical pupils were locked on Ling Ye, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Explanation, explanation."
He felt like he was being tricked again! A few years of cultivation can be said to be a "modest benefit", but two rag dolls are nothing. Insulting? !
Ling Ye's scalp felt numb under Di Tian's terrifying gaze, but he was slightly happy in his heart. Stand-in doll! This is a life-saving thing! He hurriedly took a step forward, put on a professional smile on his face, and explained:
"Don't be offended, you three. This thing may seem ordinary, but it is anything but ordinary! It's called a 'Stand-in Doll'!"
“Stand-in doll?” Brigitte held the soft doll, her tone full of doubt.
"Exactly!" Ling Ye cleared his throat and introduced in detail, "This object contains a trace of the power of extremely mysterious rules of cause and effect. The holder only needs to drop a drop of his own essence and blood on it to complete the binding. Once the bound person suffers a fatal attack or irresistible imprisonment, curse or other disaster from the outside world, this stand-in doll can be automatically activated. , bear this disaster on behalf of the bound one!"
He paused, looked at the gradually changing expressions of the three, and continued to emphasize: "In other words, this is a one-time death-free gold medal! No matter how strong the attack is, it can resist it once! And, the most important thing is that this substitution is at the causal level, almost invisible, and difficult to defend against!"
“Resist a...fatal attack?” Brigitte subconsciously tightened her grip on the doll, and an astonishing brilliance erupted in her emerald eyes. At her level, victory, defeat, and even life and death often depend on a single thought. The value of an absolute chance to save one's life cannot be measured by ordinary standards! This seemingly ridiculous rag doll is actually such a heaven-defying artifact? !
Gu Yuena's purple pupils also shrank slightly. Creation that can interfere with the rules of cause and effect? This has already touched upon the realm of God! This Ling Ye, what kind of incredible existence is his martial soul connected to?
The terrifying aura around Ditian suddenly stagnated, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his golden dragon eyes. He felt the doll carefully again. It was still ordinary, but Ling Ye's explanation forced him to re-examine it. If this statement is true...then the value of these two dolls far exceeds the sum of all previous improvements in cultivation!
Just when Brigitte was shocked by the effectiveness of the stand-in doll, she was about to put it away, and reached out to open the tenth blind box with anticipation——
A sudden change occurred!
Over the small courtyard, two extremely vast, majestic, sacred and powerful auras descended without any warning! These two breaths were like a substantial sky curtain, pressing down with a sudden force, instantly covering the entire courtyard. The air was as stagnant as mercury, and the space seemed to be slightly distorted!
「Humph!」
Di Tian was the first to react and let out a cold snort as dull as thunder. The terrifying dragon power, as black as ink, soared into the sky. It was extremely domineering and forcibly withstood the suppressed dual power.
Ling Ye's heart suddenly tightened: "It's broken!"
I saw two figures standing quietly at the entrance of the small courtyard. I don't know when.
The person on the left has a tall and graceful figure, shrouded in a luxurious purple gilt dress, wearing a purple gold crown, and holding a scepter inlaid with huge gems. She has an extremely beautiful appearance but is cold and majestic. She exudes a powerful aura that is extremely noble and has a hint of evil charm. She is none other than the Emperor and Pope of the Spirit Empire—Bibi Dong!
The man on the right is taller and taller. He is dressed in a simple white robe and has blond hair shawl. His face looks like he is only thirty or forty years old. He is handsome and simple. His deep eyes seem to be filled with endless years and vicissitudes. The most eye-catching thing about him is the six huge, white wings behind him that exude a pure divine halo! The aura emanating from its body is as vast as the sea, pure and majestic, as if it represents the will of the sky and light!
The great tribute of the Wuhun Empire, invincible in the sky - Qian Daoliu!
Qian Daoliu's pair of deep eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate the void, were locked on Gu Yuena, Ditian and Biji with extremely sharp and solemn eyes at this moment. His heart has already set off huge waves!
『These three breaths...? ! Qian Daoliu was shocked beyond measure, "Powerful!" Unprecedentedly powerful! Besides Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, is there such a person hidden in this world? ! 』
His perception told him very clearly that the aura of the woman with silver hair and purple eyes in front of him was unfathomable, like the endless starry sky, and the sense of oppression it brought to him was no weaker than the god-level realm he had been pursuing all his life! The man with black hair and golden eyes had a domineering and fierce aura, just like the ancient dragon god. His soul power level had definitely reached the peak of a ninety-ninth-level peerless Douluo, and even... in some aspects it was even worse! And the woman in the green dress holding the rag doll has a gentle yet majestic aura, and her strength is definitely above the level 98 Ultimate Douluo!
Where did Ling Ye get acquainted with such a being? ! Qian Daoliu glanced at Ling Ye, who looked nervous, and his heart was full of doubts. This kind of powerful man is by no means an unknown person, but he has lived for more than a hundred years, and he has never sensed any trace of the activities of such people on the mainland! They seemed to appear out of thin air!
Bibi Dong's heart was also very uneasy at the moment. The fingertips of her hand holding the scepter tightened slightly, her beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost, and the depths of her purple eyes shone with surprise and deep fear.
She originally thought that when she fully inherited the Rakshasa position, or even only reached level ninety-nine, she would be able to completely surpass Qian Daoliu, and by then she would be able to conquer the entire continent. But the dangerous aura exuded by the three people who suddenly appeared in front of her, especially the silver-haired woman and the golden-eyed man, made her heart full of ambition and confidence sink involuntarily!
This world is far deeper than she imagined, and the hidden powerful ones far exceed her expectations!
The two sides are facing each other, and the situation is tense!
Invisible momentum collided and squeezed in the air, making a tooth-aching sizzling sound. The ground in the small courtyard trembled slightly, and the blind boxes that had not yet been opened began to shake slightly.
Ling Ye felt his scalp numb and his heart beating wildly. On one side is the Soul Beast Co-Master and the two ferocious beasts, and on the other is the Wuhun Empire's highest authority and peak combat power. If a fight breaks out, not to mention his small courtyard, half of Wuhun City may suffer!
Facing this tense and almost explosive situation, Ling Ye's heart beat wildly, but he maintained his composure on his face. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and stood in the gap where the momentum of the two sides collided. He first saluted Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu slightly, and spoke in as calm a tone as possible: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me, please." He introduced the three of them sideways to Gu Yuena, "These three are not enemies. This is Miss Gu Yuena, and these two are Mr. Ditian. With Ms. Bi Ji."
He then turned to Gu Yuena and introduced in a calm tone: "Miss Gu Yuena, this is His Majesty the Emperor of our Wuhun Empire, His Majesty Bibi Dong. This is the Grand Priest of Wuhun Palace, Senior Qiandaoliu."
The simple introduction did not ease the tense atmosphere much.
Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong’s eyes were still firmly fixed on Gu Yuena and the other three, especially Gu Yuena and Di Tian. Their perception is absolutely unmistakable. That aura is definitely not something that human soul masters can possess. It is the majestic and ancient pressure that belongs to the top soul beasts! And its intensity is appalling!
Qian Daoliu's heart has already stirred up turbulent waves. Although his face is calm, the angel wings behind his back are slightly stretched, and the sacred brilliance is inside, and he is on full alert. "There is such a terrifying existence hidden in the soul beast?" ! The breath of this silver-haired woman was as deep as the sea, and it actually caused the angelic power in my body to spontaneously activate and warn! If I were to become her enemy, even with the blessing of angelic power, I would have...no chance of winning! 』
His eyes swept across Ditian again, and the overwhelming power of the dragon made him tremble with fear. "This person is definitely stronger than me, unless I join forces with Tang Chen and Xixi!" Finally, his eyes fell on Brigitte, and he calmed down, "Only this person with a gentle breath, I should be sure of victory." 』
Bibi Dong’s feelings are the same, even more complicated. The depths of her purple eyes shone with disbelief and deep fear. She originally thought that after achieving the Rakshasa status, she would be invincible in the world, but she did not expect that there was such despairing strength among the soul beasts. This completely subverted her understanding. But at the same time, she also keenly noticed the two strange rag dolls in Brigitte's hands and the blind boxes scattered on the ground, as well as Ling Ye's seemingly tense but actually not life-threatening situation.
They don’t seem to be here to provoke? "Bibi Dong's mind was spinning, and her powerful ambition made her quickly suppress her inner shock and make a bold decision.
She took a step forward, paused slightly with the papal scepter in her hand, and the cold and noble aura around her body was slightly restrained. She nodded slightly to Gu Yuena and the others, and her tone contained a rare and not fake respect (respect that must be generated when facing absolute strength): "Three seniors are here, I have offended you a lot, please forgive me."
She changed the subject, glanced at the blind box on the ground, and said bluntly: "The three seniors must also know that our Spirit Empire is about to launch a battle to unify the continent. The military situation is urgent, and every increase in strength increases the chance of winning, and can also reduce many unnecessary casualties. The juniors are abrupt, and seeing that you all seem to be I wonder if it would be convenient for me to try Elder Ling's unique "blind box" and let the juniors try to open a few first? It might be helpful to the battle."
Her attitude was low, her tone was sincere, and she directly stated her purpose on the table, which made her appear magnanimous.
Gu Yuena's purple eyes glanced at Bibi Dong calmly, and then faintly glanced at Qian Daoliu, who was waiting for him. She could naturally feel the extreme shock and alertness in the hearts of these two people, and she could also sense the sacred power in the Qiandao fluid that made her slightly disgusted. But she came here today not to fight.
She nodded slightly, and a cold voice sounded: "Yes."
One word, but it carried an unquestionable majesty, and it also made the tense atmosphere of the scene suddenly relax.
Bibi Dong was convinced, and without saying any polite words, nodded slightly to Gu Yuena again, and then walked towards the pile of blind boxes. Qian Daoliu remained vigilant, his eyes mainly focused on Di Tian, but part of his attention was also focused on the blind box that Bibi Dong was about to open. He was also full of curiosity about this "blind box" that could attract the attention of such a powerful person.
Bibi Dong selected the first blind box and opened it gracefully.
A subtle wisp of fresh air blends into the body.
She frowned slightly and felt it: "The increase in soul power... is minimal." This result did not seem ideal.
She was not discouraged and immediately started the second one.
Boom!
