After a while, Jiang Biyi suddenly realized she was crying in a man’s arms, and she hurriedly pushed Ling Feng away, her small face flushed red, giving him a somewhat resentful look.
Ling Feng merely shrugged helplessly. This woman was famous for being fickle; she would surely accuse him of taking advantage of her again.
However, this time, Jiang Biyi surprisingly didn’t act rudely. Instead, she looked at Ling Feng nervously and asked, "Am I bad person, was I previously...?"
"Was what?" Ling Feng followed Jiang Biyi’s gaze and noticed a faint trace of fear within her eyes.
"I feel as though I wasn’t myself before... After putting on the ring, I suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying power within me, and then I don’t remember anything."
"Don’t remember anything?" Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched slightly, "Not anything at all?"
"Uh-huh, all I remember is putting on the ring, and when I woke up, I was already here. I don’t know what happened in between. However..."
Jiang Biyi bit her tender lip and said timidly, "I felt like I was trapped, no matter how I struggled or screamed, no one responded to me."
"How could that be?" Seeing Jiang Biyi’s pitiful expression, Ling Feng’s heart softened, and he gently patted her head, comforting her, "The truth is, after you put on the ring, you saved us all. You defeated the Demon Flood Dragon Prince, and you blocked the monster below the abyss. So we all owe you our thanks."
Jiang Biyi’s eyes, like gems, were full of disbelief as she turned to look at Wang Chuanjia, but Bai Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
Wang Chuanjia sighed lightly and nodded, "Yes, if it weren’t for Miss Jiang, we might all be in deadly danger. It’s a pity about Brother Bai Yuan... sigh!"
"So it turns out I saved everyone." Jiang Biyi pursed her delicate lips and muttered softly, "Seems like the voice in my heart didn’t deceive me?"
"What voice?" Ling Feng asked, a bit curious.
"I don’t know what voice it was either." Jiang Biyi shook her head, "Maybe it’s just my own intuition, some kind of instinct, telling me that by wearing the ring, I could gain power to save everyone."
Saying this, she looked at her right hand, but the Yu Xu ring was nowhere to be seen, and she immediately exclaimed, "Where’s my ring?"
"Here." Ling Feng retrieved the ring and handed it back to Jiang Biyi, saying slowly, "Miss Jiang, in the future, unless it’s absolutely necessary, try not to wear this ring casually. Your body can’t handle that kind of power. If you use it a few more times, I’m afraid you... might die!"
Startled by Ling Feng’s words, Jiang Biyi quickly nodded, "Uh-huh, I’ll never use the ring recklessly again!"
Ling Feng nodded firmly, in truth, he was intentionally using such severe consequences to frighten Jiang Biyi, making her avoid wearing the ring lightly, because in that state, Jiang Biyi seemed completely seized by another being.
If Jiang Biyi continually turned into that form, would she still be herself?
"Alright, we’ve obtained the Spirit Void Spring, it’s time to find a place to make use of it."
Ling Feng helped Jiang Biyi to her feet, glanced in the direction of Despicable Donkey, and the group left the Abyss of Death.
After a while, Ling Feng and the others found a secluded spot, and with Despicable Donkey personally laying down a barrier, Ling Feng prepared to break through on the spot.
Using the Spirit Void Spring, he aimed to break through to a height unreachable by predecessors, the Hundred Meridian Limit!
After thinking it over, Ling Feng divided a portion of the Spiritual Spring, handing it to Jiang Biyi, and said lightly, "This part is yours, take it."
"Hee hee, then I won’t be polite."
Returning to her Little Witch essence, Jiang Biyi naturally didn’t know the meaning of politeness. After taking the Spiritual Spring, she immediately blew a kiss to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng shook his head, this Little Witch really was bold and passionate.
Not paying attention to the woman, Ling Feng dug a large pit in the center of the valley, then poured the Spirit Void Spring into the pit.
The Immortal Item’s ring in his hand flashed, and the spring water inside immediately gushed out, gradually filling the deep pit.
Instantly, a bone-chilling cold spread, Jiang Biyi’s body automatically emitted green light to resist the cold, while Wang Chuanjia continuously retreated but still couldn’t help shivering.
The cold from the Spirit Void Spring was unbearable for him, even the Demon Emperor-like Despicable Donkey shivered.
"Everyone step back a hundred feet. Despicable Donkey, protect me while I’m in secluded cultivation; make sure no one impacts me!"
Ling Feng’s expression was extremely serious. If he couldn’t break the Hundred Meridian Limit using the Spirit Void Spring this time, he feared he’d never have another chance.
"You brat, remember to leave some for this Divine Beast!"
Despicable Donkey eyed the icy, clear spring water eagerly, drooling uncontrollably.
Such a spring, containing pure power of Soul Origin, was hundreds of times better than the tumultuous, dark, resentful and negative soul power within Blood Soul Pearl.
However, Despicable Donkey also knew that this Spiritual Spring was crucial for Ling Feng’s breakthrough, so he didn’t forcefully try to take half of it.
Ling Feng shook his head, waiting for Despicable Donkey and the others to get far enough away before he undressed and jumped directly into the Spirit Void Spring with a splash.
A rush of piercing cold hit, and Ling Feng couldn’t help but shiver, his whole body started to freeze.
The power of the Spiritual Spring was great, but refining it wasn’t easy. Normally, people only dared to refine it drop by drop, and Ling Feng jumping in for a bath was nearly akin to death wish.
Nonetheless, this move was Ling Feng’s way of risking his life for rebirth, he didn’t have much time to waste. This method was undoubtedly the quickest and most direct!
Ling Feng had completely turned into an ice sculpture, while the surrounding fifty feet were all frozen over, just like the cave beneath the Abyss of Death.
In the air, even the tiniest bit of moisture would become a frozen flower under that cold air.
The cold penetrated deep into the marrow.
At this moment, in the pit full of Spiritual Spring, a strange scene appeared: the ice sculpture created by Ling Feng began to absorb the surrounding spring water, creating whirlpools within the Spiritual Pond.
Ling Feng frantically absorbed the Spirit Void Spring, and thanks to cultivating the Swallowing Flame Technique, there was no concern of freezing to death, as long he maintained the Primordial True Fire within him.
The potent spiritual energy directly surged into Ling Feng’s body, one flow descending into his Dantian, while another flow rushed towards his head, gathering in the Sea of Consciousness.
Ling Feng had never felt such a violent Divine Sense impact before, and his entire mind buzzed as the surrounding ice suddenly cracked with a "crack".
The impact erupted from the Sea of Consciousness, nearly causing Ling Feng to spit a mouthful of blood.
"Such terrifying power of Soul Origin."
Ling Feng deeply exhaled, calmed his inner breath, and continued absorbing the power within the Spiritual Spring.
