Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

213: Chapter 213: Cultivating in Seclusion in the Abyss of Fiends, Surrounded by WolvesNangong Xuan took Su Muxue and Zi Linger, transforming into a sword rainbow as their speed soared to the limit, leaving the troubled area of the Bing Qi Fissure without stopping. The commotion from the star Core devouring the mutated energy had been too great and was bound to attract countless eyes; staying there now would be asking for trouble.

They fled nearly a hundred miles in one breath, until they reached a more desolate area filled with massive black lava pillars and deep fissures. There, Nangong Xuan found a hidden, narrow crevice formed naturally by several fallen stone pillars and pulled the two women inside.

As soon as they landed, Nangong Xuan couldn’t help but groan. He sat cross-legged, his face flushing red as his aura fluctuated violently. Red and black energies seemed to be clashing fiercely beneath his skin. The energy fed back by the star Core was too massive and chaotic, containing both pure Fire Baleful Qi and the foul evil energy from the mutated fissure. Even with the profound balance of the four keys and the overbearing power of his Nirvana Sword Intent, it was difficult to fully refine it all at once.

”Nangong!” ”Brother Xuan!”

Seeing this, Su Muxue and Zi Linger ignored their own injuries and immediately stood guard on either side of him.

Su Muxue’s hands formed Seals, and cold moonlight poured down like liquid silver, enveloping Nangong Xuan. She did her best to soothe the rampaging energy within him and slow its impact. Zi Linger, despite the stinging pain in her Meridians, slowly channeled her remaining Life Force into Nangong Xuan’s body, helping to repair the tiny damages caused by the violent energy and harmonizing the heat with the deathly stillness.

Nangong Xuan closed his eyes tightly, circulating his Cultivation Technique with all his might. Within his Dantian, the four star keys rotated at an unprecedented speed. The phantom star key emitted spatial fluctuations, attempting to disperse the energy pressure; the sharp metal star key showed its edge, Cutting and refining the stubborn energy clumps; the water star key flowed with a blue halo, nourishing the damaged Meridians and working hard to purify the foulness within the energy; and the nirvana true seal fragment sat firmly in the center, radiating an absolute Concept of ”nothingness.” As the final Core, it forcibly suppressed all agitation, returning everything to nirvana.

The chaos star core in his arms fell into a deep silence after its feast, but a world-shaking transformation seemed to be occurring within it, occasionally transmitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

Time passed slowly amidst the ordeal.

It took a full two hours for the violent aura around Nangong Xuan to gradually calm down. His face returned to normal, though his brow remained slightly furrowed, as if he were still digesting something deeper.

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing through them. His aura was significantly thicker and more condensed than before, only a step away from the Late Golden Core Stage.

”How are you?” Su Muxue asked with concern, her face somewhat pale from the consumption of spiritual power.

”I’m fine. A blessing in disguise—my cultivation has progressed quite a bit,” Nangong Xuan said in a deep voice, looking at the two women. ”And your injuries?”

”I’ve just overextended my spiritual power. A moment of meditation will suffice,” Su Muxue shook her head.

”I... I’m also fine. Just a bit of backlash, which I’ve suppressed,” Zi Linger added quickly, but Nangong Xuan still saw a hint of exhaustion in her eyes.

Nangong Xuan took out the Life Source Fruit obtained from the Wood Spirit Clan, cut a small slice for each of them, and handed it over. ”Take this and recover as quickly as possible. We can’t stay here for long; we need to leave soon.”

Knowing the situation was urgent, the two women did not refuse. They swallowed the fruit fragments, and the pure life energy quickly dissolved, nourishing their physical bodies and Divine Souls.

While the two women were meditating, Nangong Xuan sank his Divine Sense inward, carefully sensing the changes in the star Core and himself.
