“Focus your mind again. Don’t be confused. I’ll help you with your cultivation …”

Meng Xian’er’s face was deathly pale. As soon as he finished speaking, Genuine energy’s palms condensed and once again rested on Xiao Chen’s back.

The commotion outside was getting louder and louder. Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He immediately closed his eyes and focused on calming down. He tried to enter the Profound Realm again.

However, this time, no matter what, it would be difficult for him to enter the Profound Realm. Every time he tried to enter the Profound Realm, what appeared in front of him would be slaughter after slaughter.

It was as if he had returned to that dreadful dream. He dreamed that a person’s hands were stained with blood. The people of the ancient village were killed by that person, and the people of Ning Village were also killed by that person. However, when that person turned around, he looked exactly the same as him.

“Uh …”

With a muffled snort, Xiao Chen opened his eyes again. His face turned extremely pale. Meng Xian’er saw that his mind was suddenly in a state of chaos and asked with a frown, “What happened to you?”

“I … I don’t know …”

Xiao Chen’s face was drenched in cold sweat. At this moment, his face was pale. For some reason, his mind suddenly became chaotic. Finally, he shook his head and said, “No, I can’t concentrate anymore …”

“Boom!”

Right at this moment, a violent shock suddenly came from outside, causing both of them to tremble. Meng Xian’er’s expression changed slightly, “The spirit power of the formation outside is about to be exhausted. It won’t be able to hold on for long.”

Xiao Chen frowned. He knew very well what would happen if he hadn’t succeeded in Soul Formation when Shen Que Zi rushed in. Now, there was no other way to retreat. Meng Xian’er originally had five more successes, but in order to help him with Soul Formation, there was probably less than ten to twenty percent left. He couldn’t even withstand even one and a half moves from Shen Que Zi.

“I’ll try again …”

Without further ado, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and focused his energy. He attempted to comprehend the Profound Realm once more. At this moment, under the constant bombardment of Shen Que Zi, the restriction formation at the entrance of the cave was already on the verge of collapse. At most, it would collapse within an hour.

“When I capture you, I will definitely teach you that life is worse than death …”

The death of his junior brother caused Shen Que Zi’s hostility to grow deeper and deeper these past few days. Adding on the fact that he was unable to take down the attack for a long time, the malicious intent in his heart also grew heavier and heavier. His attacks were naturally becoming more and more swift and fierce, while Feng Wuyin had been watching from the side from the beginning until the end, scheming in his heart how to make Meng Xian’er submit obediently.

Inside the ancient cave, both of their bodies were drenched in cold sweat. However, seeing that their faces were deathly pale, Xiao Chen let out another muffled snort. It was obvious that he had failed. However, at this moment, he seemed to have discovered that the source of his heart’s palpitations earlier did not originate from Shen Que Zi outside, but from the depths of the earth, there was always something that disturbed his mind.

“Still can’t?”

Meng Xian’er had always been calm when things happened. He had never been so anxious before. The commotion outside was getting bigger and bigger, and Shen Que Zi was about to charge in.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and his face was covered in cold sweat. Finally, he shook his head, “No, there’s something deep underground that has been disturbing my mind. Now I can’t concentrate …”

“Then what should we do …”

Meng Xian’er’s expression froze. Could it be that the two of them were really going to die in this ancient cave this time? So what if she got the Devil Scripture? She actually didn’t have the life to bring it out …

The commotion outside grew louder and louder. The entire ancient cave began to tremble non-stop. Xiao Chen slowly calmed down. At this moment, he seemed to have made the decision to burn the boat and sink. He said with concentration, “Since you are unable to comprehend the Profound realm, then break through the profound entrance … Forcibly transform into a spirit!”

“Break through the profound entrance …”

Meng Xian’er was stunned. Even though many years had passed, she still remembered clearly the elder who had broken through the profound entrance and failed.

Ordinary people would never use a dangerous method like breaking through the profound entrance to transform their souls. Such a method of transforming their souls could be said to be like burning their boats and sinking their boats. There was no way to retreat.

She still remembered clearly that back then, that elder wanted to break through the profound entrance to become a spirit, but in the end, he failed, shattering all the meridians in his body. His cultivation base was gone, and even Power of Primordial Spirit was exhausted. In the end, he was inferior to a mortal.

Xiao Chen looked out of the cave, his eyebrows furrowing deeper and deeper. If it wasn’t for his last resort, he wouldn’t have taken the risk of breaking through the profound entrance to transform into a spirit.

As the name implied, one had to break through the twenty-four profound gates in order to become a spirit in this way. However, these twenty-four profound gates were where cultivators lived. If one was careless, one’s meridians would be broken, one’s cultivation would be completely lost, and one’s cultivation would be reduced to ashes.

“You really … have you thought it through?”

For a moment, Meng Xian’er was still somewhat shocked. Xiao Chen frown and remained silent. At this moment, he had no other choice but to let Shen Quezi barge in. At that time, he would only die. Rather than just sit there and wait for his death, it would be better to gamble with his life.

Wasn’t it exactly like this to fight with others, compete with the heavens, and cultivate? He had already chosen, but there was no need to be afraid of him.

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt as if he was suddenly relieved. He waved his hands outwards and instantly opened the 24 profound entrances on his body.

Opening the profound entrance on his body was equivalent to opening the door to his life. At this moment, even if it was Shen Quezi, any person who had not yet cultivated into a Nascent Soul could instantly kill him as long as they attacked his 24 profound entrances.

Even Meng Xian’er couldn’t help but feel stifled by his decisive decision.

At this moment, there was no need to say anything else. Xiao Chen gathered his strength and began to charge into the profound entrances on his body. Meng Xian’er sat behind him and had to carefully protect him. Otherwise, he would most likely fail in his Soul Transformation and become a cripple.

Time passed by. To Meng Xian’er, this moment had never been so long. It was as long as a year had passed.

Outside, the mountain rocks at the entrance of the cave cracked. The restriction formation was finally on the verge of collapse. In the end, it completely collapsed under Shen Quezi’s palm strike. With a “rumble”, the mountain rocks at the entrance of the cave cracked open, and smoke and dust immediately billowed.

Unfortunately, with Meng Xian’er’s previous strength, she could only set up this restriction formation. Otherwise, if she set up a few more places inside, she would be able to withstand it for a while longer.

After the formation collapsed, Shen Quezi didn’t hesitate and flew into the cave. Feng Wuyin’s eyes narrowed as he closed the folding fan and followed.

In the depths of the ancient cave, Meng Xian’er’s face was extremely pale. In order to help Xiao Chen transform into a spirit, she didn’t even have the last bit of success left. The twenty-four profound entrances were about to break through, and the most nervous moment had finally arrived.

“Shit …”

At this moment, Meng Xian’er’s face instantly became even paler, and even the last trace of blood disappeared. At this moment, she seemed to have heard Shen Quezi’s footsteps and felt the burning aura.

However, it was also at this moment that a violent tremor suddenly came from underground. Immediately after, twenty-four streaks of profound light rushed forward and instantly broke through the restrictions of the Devil Mountain. They rushed straight into the sky and gathered all the spiritual energy within ten thousand kilometers to gather at the bottom of the Devil Mountain.

“What … what’s going on!”

Seeing such a shocking phenomenon, the faces of the four Devil Sect disciples outside were filled with shock.

Only Yu Qixuanji and the vice sect masters of the Heretic Heaven Luo realised that there were people nearby who had transformed into spirits and affected the earth vein! However, this phenomenon of heaven and earth was simply too shocking. No … no! There seems to be another strange power coming from the depths of the earth …

“I … who is it?”
