Chapter 299: Ji Changkong

Six months later.

Mu Lingxi exited seclusion.

After exiting seclusion, her first action was to expand her powerful Spirit Sense.

Upon discovering Wang Jianqiang's location, she appeared in Wang Jianqiang's Cultivation Room via Instant Movement.

Sensing someone had arrived.

Wang Jianqiang opened his eyes.

Immediately, he saw a beautiful and ethereal figure.

"Lingxi? You've finished your seclusion?"

He was stunned for a moment, carefully looking Mu Lingxi over.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation she experienced was much harder than others, the benefits she gained after transcending it seemed to be much greater as well.

Her spiritual body was much stronger than that of Wang Yuyao and the others.

"Senior Brother, my spiritual body has finished transforming, and my cultivation is completely stabilized."

"At this wonderful time, I specifically came to find Senior Brother to celebrate."

After speaking, a mischievous smile appeared on her exquisite and flawless face.

She walked toward Wang Jianqiang.

Half a cup of tea later.

The door to the Cultivation Room was opened, and Mu Lingxi walked out with a giggle.

"Senior Brother, you need to practice more."

After speaking, as if fleeing, she disappeared with an Instant Movement.

Inside the Cultivation Room.

Wang Jianqiang had just laboriously propped himself up against the wall, and his expression stiffened upon hearing this.

Half a month later.

After greeting Wang Jianqiang, Mu Lingxi entered the Desolate Realm.

Although she had briefly climbed onto the Desolate Ranking before by relying on her powerful combat strength.

She had only ranked at the very bottom of the Desolate Ranking.

Having not entered the Desolate Realm for such a long time, her ranking on the Desolate Ranking had long since been pushed off.

Now that her cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage, it was time to go and challenge the Desolate Ranking.

As for Wang Jianqiang, Yang Wanxin, and Yun Xin.

They remained in their residence.

Sometimes practicing Alchemy, sometimes cultivating, sometimes providing Clarification, they spent their days quite comfortably.

Another month passed.

Youyou, having finished digesting the Secret Technique inheritance, arrived.

Wang Jianqiang very generously bestowed the Purification Power upon her.

Originally, Youyou had planned to stay with Wang Jianqiang for a few days before heading to the Desolate Realm.

After witnessing the powerful effects of the Purification Power, she changed her mind and stayed for three years.

Three years later.

Through Wang Jianqiang's unremitting giving, her foundation was purified to the extreme.

What made Wang Jianqiang somewhat astonished was.

After she obtained the Heavenly Fox Inheritance, her potential seemed to have been greatly improved.

Coupled with the further development of her potential after her foundation was purified.

Her Soul Power capacity limit had actually reached twenty-seven times, comparable to Mu Lingxi!

Afterward, she did not leave directly, but chose to undergo Tribulation Transcendence in Wang Jianqiang's Micro World.

Although her Soul Power limit was comparable to Mu Lingxi's, she had not practiced the Three Lives Body, so the Heavenly Tribulation she attracted should have been weaker than Mu Lingxi's.

But the fact was...

Her Heavenly Tribulation was not the least bit weaker than Mu Lingxi's.

This made Wang Jianqiang feel a moment of shock.

Immediately afterward, he realized the reason.

It must be because of the Heavenly Fox Inheritance.

Ever since Youyou obtained the Heavenly Fox Inheritance, she had never displayed her full strength in front of Wang Jianqiang.

Until today.

Wang Jianqiang finally witnessed Youyou's true strength.

After being tempered by the Heavenly Fox Essence Blood, not only did her bloodline mutate, but her physique also became strong to an astonishing degree.

Facing the first six Thunder Tribulations, she easily transcended them relying solely on the power of her physical body.

By the seventh Thunder Tribulation, the power surged.

Facing this dark red Thunder Tribulation with its terrifying aura of destruction, Youyou dared not continue to rely solely on her physical body to resist.

But even though she went all out, she still suffered minor injuries.

Afterward, when facing the eighth Thunder Tribulation, she suffered heavy injuries just like Mu Lingxi had back then.

However, under the dual protection of the Lightning Avoidance Pill and the Heaven Heart Creation Pill, she still transcended the ninth Thunder Tribulation without any danger.

"Ding, Tushan Youyou's cultivation has broken through, current cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage."

"Supernatural Ability Point +1, Golden Attribute Point +1, Silver Attribute Point +1, Cultivation Point +5000."

After the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, Wang Jianqiang's rewards arrived as scheduled.

One incense stick of time later.

Severely injured, Tushan Youyou had her wounds healed under the restoration of the Creation Power.

After greeting Wang Jianqiang, she returned directly to the Cultivation Room and began her seclusion.

Half a year later.

The Creation Power within her body was completely digested, and her spirit body was fully refined.

After accepting a brief celebration from Wang Jianqiang, she left the Micro World and headed to the Desolate Realm.

Nearly ten years had passed since the opening of the Desolate Realm, and she had already wasted quite a bit of time; it was time to catch up.

After Tushan Youyou left, the Micro World was once again left with the iron triangle combination of Wang Jianqiang, Yang Wanxin, and Yun Xin.

The three of them lived full and carefree lives.

Time passes, years are ruthless, and they will not pause for anyone or anything for even a fraction of a moment.

In the blink of an eye.

Time arrived at the twelfth year since the start of the Third Round Assessment.

The Third Round Assessment lasts for a total of twenty years, and it is now more than halfway over.

As the time limit for the Third Round Assessment approaches, the sense of urgency in the hearts of all examinees grows increasingly intense, and the competition for the Desolate Ranking has become correspondingly more fierce.

Many examinees have even taken up permanent residence within the Desolate Realm.

Under this high-intensity combat and cultivation.

Some Cultivators who were not originally top-tier began to accumulate strength and reveal their talents.

There were also some figures who were originally dazzling but lacked staying power, gradually fading into the crowd.

And the rankings on the Desolate Ranking also underwent tremendous changes.

Among them.

Ji Zhangkong, who was originally ranked second, was pushed all the way down to tenth place.

While Nangong Yu, who was originally ranked fourth, rose to second place.

There are not many rumors regarding her battle records.

Only a mere few times.

But every single time was enough to shock people.

Such as a few years ago, when she easily crushed Ji Zhangkong.

Or like not long ago, when she used one hand to hammer to death a top-tier Desolate Beast with strength comparable to a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection.

Up until now.

More and more people have begun to compare her to the Emperor.

The Emperor.

Now, he has truly become a legendary figure in Desolate City.

Since the very beginning of the Third Round Assessment, he has topped the Desolate Ranking.

To this day, regardless of how other rankings change.

His ranking as number one on the Desolate Ranking has never fallen.

Like a god, looking down upon the struggles of ants.

Being frequently compared to him by others, Nangong Yu's strength is evident.

Desolate City.

On the Central Plaza.

Ji Zhangkong's expression was extremely ugly.

Since suffering a defeat at the hands of Nangong Yu, he had not given up on his revenge against Wang Jianqiang, but he dared not be as aggressive as he was in the beginning.

In order to control Wang Jianqiang's movements.

He specifically hired some Specialized Cultivators as informants to keep watch at the Central Plaza year-round.

But several years had passed.

That Wang Jianqiang hadn't even entered the Desolate Realm once!

Although Specialized Cultivators do not need to compete for spots on the Desolate Ranking, they still need resources to improve themselves.

And in this Desolate City, Desolate Beads are the only currency.

If he never enters the Desolate Realm to hunt, how could he obtain resources?

"Could it be..."

"It's those women..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, Ji Zhangkong's expression became even uglier.

He had long since heard that Wang Jianqiang was surrounded by many women, each of whom was not only as beautiful as a celestial being but also obedient to his every word.

It was impossible for Wang Jianqiang to not need resources.

The only possibility was that these women were sharing their own Desolate Beads with him!

Thinking of this, Ji Zhangkong couldn't help but picture a carefree life of having soft fragrance in his arms and no worries about Desolate Beads.

Then, thinking back to himself bitterly collecting information on Wang Jianqiang for revenge, being beaten up by Nangong Yu, spending a high price to hire people to keep watch, wasting a massive amount of time and energy, racking his brains to think of countermeasures... and so on.

The resentment in his heart toward Wang Jianqiang instantly became even more intense.

Everything they had done over these years...

... had actually been a waste of effort!

"No~"

"If this guy really has already started living off a woman, there is no need at all to enter the Desolate Realm."

"Waiting like this is completely meaningless."

"I must change my strategy."
