After muttering that to herself, Tang Feifei was momentarily stunned, her face flushing with even greater embarrassment.
Because she suddenly realized... she seemed to have been led astray by Qiu Tu too! What sort of idioms and colloquialisms had she blurted out!
As she watched Tang Feifei beat a hasty retreat, the expression on Qiu Tu's face slowly faded away.
Actually... he was not really intending to do anything with Tang Feifei by telling those dirty jokes.
It was because he knew Tang Feifei's character well: she liked to act, not to talk.
And given his current physical condition, Tang Feifei wouldn't risk making his injuries worse by pressing him.
So... a few dirty jokes served as a polite way to make Tang Feifei leave earlier.
That also gave him time to level up.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu called Tan Huimin, asking her to close the door from the outside and stop anyone who came to visit or congratulate him.
Having done all this, Qiu Tu locked the door from the inside and then sat on the bed.
He recalled the process of ascension to a Third Order Cataclysmic he had learned from Tang Feifei and Qin Shuman, hesitated for a moment, then opened the Gold-Addicted Wallet and took out a fist-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal" from within.
With the "Boundless Divine Crystal" set aside and all preparations completed, Qiu Tu no longer waited but formally began the Level Up!
He released the previously suppressed urge to evolve transcendently, allowing his soul to be completely liberated!
The next second, Qiu Tu felt the Cataclysmic Power within his body slowly begin to boil, his body became hotter and his consciousness more and more fleeting!
He seemed to be gradually disconnecting from reality, his vision increasingly blurring, sounds growing more distant, and his perception more sluggish!
If he could open his eyes now and see his own condition, he would discover that his body seemed to be eroded by time, becoming gradually gray, decrepit.
And what was more terrifying was that his body seemed to have lost all vitality, his eyes staring wide, his cheeks already skin and bones, as if a gust of wind could blow over and turn his entire person into ashes.
Just as his body completely collapsed, a soft glow began to slowly emerge from Qiu Tu's brain.
That glimmer was like a star, dazzling, clear. It was the soul, the consciousness of a person refined to the Second-order Peak!
And as that flicker of light grew brighter and more blinding, Qiu Tu's consciousness seemed to suddenly awaken!
He felt as if he resonated with the entire world; he seemed able to see the Cataclysmic Power floating in the air, like he could perceive the flow and changes of the Cataclysmic Power!
He also seemed capable of seeing the immense source of energy beside him: the Boundless Divine Crystal!
As he immersed himself in that mysterious and profound state, the Cataclysmic Power around him, and the pure Cataclysmic Power contained within the "Boundless Divine Crystal," began to rush frantically towards him!
With the influx of that Cataclysmic Power, his soul and consciousness began to grow rapidly!
His thoughts felt clearer and sharper than ever, as if the entire world was visible to him without any place to hide.
Even more! He seemed to perceive a higher dimension of the world that lorded over this one!
That was the world of spirits! A world more magnificent and mystical than reality!
If he was interested, he could directly step into that world, no longer needing any "Skull Talisman," no need for the Gate between Two Realms!
Because, he belonged to that world by nature!
And just after Qiu Tu's soul had been sublimated, his body could no longer withstand the power of his soul and completely collapsed, cracking apart.
But that was of no concern... because at that moment, the flicker of light had already gradually grown into a complete human form!
Soon, the human-shaped light, absorbing the Cataclysmic Power, began to become more solidified!
Bones, nerves, blood vessels, organs, muscles, skin... everything was reshaped according to the soul!
During the reshaping process,
God knows how long it took, maybe an hour, perhaps several hours!
Every bone, every blood vessel, every inch of muscle with its fine spiritual power meridians gradually became distinct, like stars sprinkled across the night sky, emitting dazzling light. These spiritual power meridians not only strengthened his physical robustness but also made him more efficient in absorbing and using the spiritual power from the outside.
Muscles fortified by the nourishment of spiritual power became more resilient and strong as if they contained the weight of mountains and the liveliness of rivers. Whenever Lin Yi moved, the air would tremble gently because of his actions, a minor manifestation of the power leaking from his body. Even more astonishing was that his bones, during the ascension process, seemed to be reforged, becoming denser and more resilient, capable of withstanding more powerful impact forces.
The Change of the Soul
Compared to the transformation of the body, the metamorphosis of Lin Yi's soul was deeper. His will,
The Phenomena of Heaven and Earth
As Lin Yi delved deeper into his ascension, phenomena began to appear in the heavens and the earth. The originally calm sky suddenly became turbulent, with dark clouds gathering, as if something momentous was about to occur. Thunder roared, lightning cleaved across the sky, each flash accompanied by immense energy fluctuations. These phenomena were not only a testament to Lin Yi's ascension but also an acknowledgment and response to his formidable strength.
The creatures on the ground also felt the presence of this power, looking up at the sky, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity. Some powerful Transcendents even rushed over, eager to witness this rare moment. In their eyes, Lin Yi was no longer just an ordinary Second Rank Extraordinary Being, but a strong being about to enter a higher realm.
