Chapter 1575

Spirit Emperor Rank 3!

Spirit King Rank 7!

Spirit King Rank 8!

……

Just a few minutes later, Ximen Wudi's aura shattered through to Spirit Sovereign Rank 1, then broke through again!

When his cultivation stabilized at the peak of Spirit Sovereign Rank 1, that water-elemental force vanished completely.

At that moment, Ximen Wudi slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he radiated a piercing killing intent, as if transformed into an unrivaled legendary sword—sharp beyond compare, brimming with blade-edge brilliance!

Spirit Master Rank 9!

He finally broke through to Spirit Sovereign Rank 3, ascending to Spirit Sovereign Rank 9.

"Congratulations, Brother Ximen Wudi, on advancing to Spirit Sovereign Rank 9!"

The instant Ximen Wudi opened his eyes, Lin Qingxue smiled sweetly:

"Brother Ximen Wudi, you've finally broken through to Spirit Sovereign Rank 9, and I believe, before long, your strength will surge again! And all of this is thanks to that drop of Crystal Pearl!"

Ximen Wudi blinked in surprise, looking at Lin Qingxue and asking with confusion: "Qingxue sister, how do you know about that drop of Crystal Pearl?"

"Hehe… when I was in the Asura Realm, I heard about it!"

"And I also heard the Crystal Pearl is a heavenly treasure, a supreme artifact that enhances a cultivator's cultivation—whomever obtains it gains tremendous benefits."

Condensed from 1275

Lin Qingxue grinned mischievously, then continued:

"So I wanted to help Brother Ximen Wudi find the Crystal Pearl, so your cultivation could rise even further!"

"And now, I've finally done it!"

On Lin Qingxue's lovely face shone excitement and anticipation.

This Crystal Pearl was condensed from water-elemental force; its benefits to cultivators were extraordinary—capable of boosting a cultivator's cultivation by over ten years.

"This… this…"

Seeing Lin Qingxue's earnest expression, Ximen Wudi laughed and sighed:

"Qingxue sister, I appreciate your heart, but this drop of Crystal Pearl is too precious—I dare not accept it!"

"Brother Ximen Wudi, I already said this is all you earned through your own efforts! Between family, why separate 'yours' and 'mine'?"

Lin Qingxue pouted, playfully scolding, then a faint blush spread across her lovely face.

She knew Ximen Wudi was deliberately refusing her.

This man was always so shy and reserved.

Yet she adored this Ximen Wudi—like a neighborly older brother, giving a sense of closeness, and warmth.

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi's face flushed with embarrassment.

"Cough! Qingxue sister, keep this Crystal Pearl for now! When your cultivation improves later, help me find more Crystal Pearls!"

He scratched his head, then said to Lin Qingxue.

He himself needed the Crystal Pearl very much.

After all, his current cultivation relied entirely on that drop of Crystal Pearl—without it, his progress would never have been so swift.

So he was determined to obtain the Crystal Pearl.

But he also knew this artifact was far too precious.

That's why he refused.

"Hmph, if you won't take it, I'll go get it myself!"

Lin Qingxue pouted her pink lips, then moved to slide off Ximen Wudi's shoulder.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Ximen Wudi immediately rushed to stop her.

"My dear lady, you can't act recklessly! What if you get hurt?"

"How could I let you risk yourself? If you go searching for Crystal Pearls, how could I face my parents?"

Ximen Wudi's expression shifted slightly, then he wore a look of distress.

As he spoke, Ximen Wudi also turned his gaze toward the two girls, Lin Yue'er and Lin Yueyao.

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, Lin Qingxue hesitated, for she knew exactly what he feared.

"Alright!"

"Brother Ximen Wudi, don't worry—I'll take care of myself!"

"Though our Lin Clan has declined, we're still a supreme ancient clan, and we have Spirit Sect experts protecting us—there's no danger!"

Seeing Ximen Wudi's expression change, Lin Qingxue quickly explained.

She knew how much he missed his parents, so she didn't want him worrying about them.

Besides, even if she didn't go on trials, Lin Qing was always by her side—no need to worry too much.

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi nodded.

"Mm! If that's the case, I'll temporarily agree."

"But I'm warning you—if by the time you reach Spirit Saint, you still haven't found the Crystal Pearl, don't blame me for turning cold on you!"

Ximen Wudi narrowed his eyes, staring at Lin Qingxue.

"Don't worry—I won't make you wait long!"

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue smiled sweetly, then said to Ximen Wudi:

"Moreover, Brother Ximen Wudi, I've also heard that this drop of crystal bead has an even greater effect on those above the Martial Lord realm. If you reach the Spirit Emperor realm, it might have an even stronger effect!"

"Spirit Emperor realm? Hehe, perhaps there's some truth to that!"

Ximen Wudi smiled faintly, not taking Lin Qingxue's words seriously.

He was only at the first layer of the Spirit Emperor realm; even if he obtained this drop of crystal bead, he wasn't certain he could break through.

Moreover, in the cultivation world, the Spirit Saint is the most supreme existence.

Ximen Wudi dared not dream of his cultivation breaking through to the Spirit Saint realm.

Right then, he waved his hand toward the crystal bead, swallowing it directly into his belly, and began frenziedly refining it.

Boom—

As the drop of crystal bead entered his abdomen, Ximen Wudi's blood seemed to burn, boiling violently.

He also faintly felt that his meridians had been unblocked.

Moreover, within his dantian, the previously dried-up true qi now began flowing again.

And all of this was due solely to this drop of crystal bead.

"Hss!"

Seeing this, Lin Qingxue, Lin Qingxue's elder sister, and Lin Yue'er all drew in a sharp breath.

They had not expected their brother to cultivate so terrifyingly—just by consuming one drop of crystal bead, he had already reached the threshold of breaking through to the Spirit Sect realm.

If Ximen Wudi consumed the entire crystal bead, wouldn't his cultivation quickly break through to the Spirit King realm—and even become stronger?

Lin Qingxue and Lin Yue'er, the two sisters, were utterly stunned.

They had never imagined their Brother Ximen Wudi could be so extraordinary, so powerful.

"Hah! Ximen Wudi, you're truly my lucky star—our lives will only get better and better!"

Lin Qingxue patted Ximen Wudi's shoulder, her face glowing with ecstatic joy.

Ximen Wudi nodded and said to Lin Qingxue:

"Wait here for me. I'm going into seclusion for a while, striving to reach the Spirit Sect realm as soon as possible!"

"Mm! Go ahead! No matter what happens, remember to find me at once!"

Lin Qingxue nodded obediently, then sat aside and quietly began cultivating.

"Brother Ximen Wudi! Where are we going to play?"

Lin Yue'er blinked her eyes and asked Ximen Wudi.
