Chapter 188 A Sudden Encounter of Spiritual Fortune, Yao Girl Obtains a Treasure

The altar emitted an eerie light, like a lurking beast silently watching the visitors.

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure exchanged a glance, both seeing solemnity in each other's eyes.

A strange energy fluctuation permeated the air, making one's heart pound.

"Let's go!" Dai Yao shouted in a low voice and stepped onto the altar first.

A mysterious figure followed closely behind, and the two figures vanished in a flash from the center of the altar.

When they reappeared, they found themselves in a strange space.

The surrounding spiritual energy was so dense it was almost liquid; with each breath, one could feel abundant energy flowing into their body.

Dai Yao couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness, this concentration of spiritual energy is practically a sacred place for cultivation! Just one breath and you could ascend to immortality on the spot!"

The mysterious figure chuckled: "Don't be too happy yet, this place doesn't look simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful and pure spiritual energy wave came from afar, spreading out like ripples.

Dai Yao's eyes lit up: "Wow, this must be the legendary spiritual treasure opportunity!"

However, the smile on her face froze the next second.

Because she discovered that many cultivators around her had also sensed this fluctuation and were rushing towards this place by flying on swords, riding on clouds, or even scrambling and crawling.

"Wow! This competition is fierce! It's even more exciting than the Double Eleven flash sales!" Dai Yao couldn't help but complain.

The mysterious figure said with a grave expression, "It seems a fierce battle is inevitable."

Dai Yao took a deep breath and quietly activated her golden finger, sensing the flow of the surrounding energy.

"Wait," Dai Yao grabbed the mysterious figure and pointed in a direction that appeared to be overgrown with weeds, "This way!"

The mysterious figure asked, somewhat puzzled, "Over there? But it looks like that over there..."

"Trust me!" Dai Yao winked playfully, then pulled him into the bushes.

Unexpectedly, behind this patch of grass was a hidden path, winding and turning, leading to the direction from which the spiritual energy fluctuations were coming from.

Relying on her perception of destiny, Dai Yao led the mysterious figure through the narrow paths, gradually leaving the other cultivators behind.

"Yaoyao, you..." The mysterious figure looked astonished, "How did you do that?"

Dai Yao smiled mysteriously: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"

Just as they were about to reach the location of the spiritual object, a cultivator dressed in purple robes, with surging spiritual energy around him, suddenly appeared in front of them as if he had descended from the sky.

The purple-robed cultivator slightly raised his chin, displaying an air of arrogance, his nostrils practically pointing to the sky.

He glanced disdainfully at Dai Yao and the mysterious figure, and arrogantly announced, "This spiritual object is mine. You two lackeys, get out of here at once!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yao almost burst out laughing.

Little guy?

As the dignified mistress of the Demon Palace, she was a figure who inspired fear wherever she went.

How could I be called a lackey?

Is this purple-robed man an idiot?

She suppressed a laugh and bowed respectfully, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. Spiritual objects have no owner; they are acquired by those who are destined to receive them. What makes you claim that this spiritual object is yours?"

The purple-robed cultivator sneered, "Just because I'm at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage! You two aren't even worthy to carry my shoes!"

Dai Yao rolled her eyes. Where do all these chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) people come from these days?

She subtly tugged at the mysterious figure's sleeve, signaling him with her eyes to calm down, and then continued, "Fellow Daoist, cultivation level doesn't mean everything. Perhaps this spiritual object is more destined for us?"

The mysterious figure also stepped forward, his aura suddenly changing, and a spiritual pressure no less than that of a purple-robed immortal cultivator erupted instantly.

His tone was firm, his eyes sharp: "Yao Yao is right. If you want to steal something, you'd better see if you have the ability!"

The air was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder; the three sides were locked in a standoff, and the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Dai Yao's lips curled into a sly smile as she slowly said, "How about this, let's make a bet?"

The purple-robed cultivator scoffed disdainfully, "A bet? With your abilities?"

“Of course.” A glint of light flashed in Dai Yao’s eyes. “Let’s bet… whoever finds the spiritual object first!”

Before the purple-robed cultivator could even agree, Dai Yao abruptly pulled the mysterious figure and shouted, "Let's go!"

Dai Yao grabbed the mysterious figure and ran off like the wind, faster than a rabbit!

The purple-robed cultivator was taken aback at first, then reacted and roared, "Trying to run? No way!" He formed hand seals, and streaks of sharp purple lightning, like raging pythons, chased after Dai Yao and the mysterious figure.

"What the heck?! Are they serious?!" Dai Yao exclaimed while dodging the lightning. "Is this purple-robed man some kind of thunder god? What grudge do they hold against him?!"

The mysterious figure's eyes sharpened. He shielded Dai Yao behind him, conjuring a golden barrier in his hand that blocked most of the lightning attacks.

However, the purple-robed cultivator's attack was too fierce, and cracks began to appear in the golden barrier.

"This can't go on!" Dai Yao shouted. "We have to think of a solution!"

The surrounding rocks were shattered by the power of the magic, raising clouds of dust.

Some minor cultivators watched from a distance, not daring to approach, wondering who these three people were that dared to fight so fiercely here.

Dai Yao suddenly noticed that after each attack, the purple-robed cultivator would have a tiny opening the moment his spiritual energy recovered.

Although the time was extremely short, it was enough for someone like her who was extremely sensitive to fortune!

"Ayan, feign an attack!" Dai Yao quickly said to the mysterious figure.

The mysterious figure understood immediately and launched a fierce attack, forcing the purple-robed cultivator to defend himself with all his might.

Just as the purple-robed cultivator was about to run out of spiritual energy, Dai Yao seized the opportunity, condensing a dazzling white light in her hand and striking the purple-robed cultivator's weakness!

"Ah!" The purple-robed cultivator let out a scream. After being hit, he was enraged and completely lost his mind.

"You're courting death!" he roared, condensing all his spiritual power into a massive purple lightning bolt, which struck down fiercely towards Dai Yao and the mysterious figure!

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure worked together to resist, but the enormous impact still sent them flying.

At this critical moment, Dai Yao's eyes lit up and a plan came to mind.

She quickly pulled a specially made smoke bomb from her storage bag and threw it out.

Thick smoke instantly spread out, obscuring everyone's vision.

The purple-robed cultivator lost his way in the smoke and could only attack haphazardly.

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure took the opportunity to conceal themselves and quietly approach the location of the spirit.

As the smoke cleared, the purple-robed cultivator realized he had been tricked and was so angry he almost vomited blood.

He looked around, but could not see Dai Yao or the mysterious figure.

"Damn it! They got away!" He stomped his foot angrily and left in a huff.

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure successfully obtained the spiritual object, a small bead emitting a soft white light.

As Dai Yao held the small bead in her hand, she immediately felt a powerful surge of spiritual energy flow into her body, making her already abundant spiritual power even more refined.

"This spiritual object is indeed extraordinary!" she said excitedly. "With it, our cultivation can be greatly improved!" The mysterious figure looked at Dai Yao's delighted appearance, his eyes also filled with smiles.

"Yaoyao, let's go," he said gently. "We shouldn't stay here any longer."

Dai Yao nodded, preparing to leave with the mysterious figure, when suddenly...

The magical object she held in her hand emitted a strange light...

"This……"

The light was not simply white, but carried subtle, almost imperceptible golden patterns that seemed to move across the surface of the small bead as if they were alive.

Dai Yao felt a sudden heat in her hand, as if the bead was trying to break free from her control!

"Huh? What's going on!" Dai Yao exclaimed, instinctively gripping the beads tighter.

The mysterious figure, Ayan, also noticed something amiss, his brow furrowing slightly. "Yaoyao, this bead..."

Before he could finish speaking, the bead shone brightly, and a golden beam shot straight into the sky!

Then, something astonishing happened: the beam of light began to move slowly, as if it were guiding the way.

"Holy crap! This thing even has navigation?!" Dai Yao was so shocked her jaw almost dropped. This magical object was even more amazing than she had imagined!

A deep look flashed in Ayan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Yaoyao, this light... seems to be pointing to the Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm."

Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm!

That's a legendary treasure land that even Nascent Soul stage experts flock to!

It is said that it contains countless rare and precious materials, and even the secret to ascension!

Dai Yao's eyes lit up immediately; this was like a windfall!

"Let's go! Keep up!" Dai Yao excitedly grabbed A Yan's hand and chased after the direction indicated by the beam of light.

However, before they had run more than a few steps, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble violently!

"Rumble—" The earth shook violently, and a huge, bottomless crack appeared in the ground!

A suffocatingly terrifying aura slowly rose from that crack...

Dai Yao and A Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and a hint of... in each other's eyes.

excited.

“Yao Yao,” A Yan smiled wickedly, “it seems this Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm is even more interesting than we imagined…” Dai Yao smiled too, a hint of cunning in her smile, “Then… let’s go big!”

Suddenly, a chilling voice came from the crack: "Who dares to trespass on this forbidden area?!"

Dai Yao: "..." A Yan: "..." This plot...

Something seems off.
