This time, Ye Luo sought out Nuonuo, firstly to help her complete her training, and secondly to take her out for some experience.

Although a temporary victory had been achieved, it counted for little, merely causing those forces some discomfort without inflicting any major damage.

After all, there were no truly powerful figures appearing this time.

Ye Luo speculated that those forces should be quiet for a while, considering they’ve lost quite a number of powerful figures in the Spirit Pool. Besides, no force could withstand such losses again.

Even if they still desire Mt. Sumeru or hold fantasies, they have to plan carefully.

And during this time, Ye Luo must seize the opportunity!

Otherwise, if those forces return, he wouldn’t be able to resist them.

When they set out again, ancestral-level masters will surely arrive!

As confident as Ye Luo was, he knew he couldn’t fend off such masters.

Of course, he might escape, but Ye Luo didn’t want to be a fleeing stray anymore.

Now that he had the Zi Wei Sect as a foothold, he wouldn’t give it up easily!

Therefore, he decided it was time to search for the Plane Origin Liquid.

Another reason was that he had to establish a foothold in the Sixth Region and wait for his women from Earth to ascend!

Those people were his true family!

And according to the Zi Wei Priestess’s divination, that area seemed set to open soon.

It just so happened to align with Ye Luo’s plans, so he decided, without hesitation, to take Nuonuo on the road.

He also wanted to bring Zi Wei, given her familiarity with the area. But the entire Zi Wei Sect relied on her for operation. If an external threat occurred, and the Zi Wei Priestess was absent, the sect could be in danger.

Plus, having Nuonuo follow him could also help her gain some experience.

As for the danger—where is there not danger? The cultivation process for cultivators is inherently perilous, with roots in life and death.

"Master, great, we can enjoy time alone again?" Nuonuo exclaimed joyfully.

At once, Ye Luo felt a bit speechless; this little girl always spoke out of turn.

"Prepare yourself; we might depart tomorrow!"

Leaving Nuonuo’s place, he headed over to the Zi Wei Priestess.

"Everything about that area is condensed in this Jade Pendant, but each time it opens, it’s unique, so don’t be misled by my experience. Plus, although the area’s climate is harsh, powerful figures will definitely be there. You can imagine how valuable the Plane Origin Liquid would be compared to the Spirit Pool’s essence!"

Ye Luo nodded slightly, understanding this, yet he was determined to obtain it if it existed!

"Perhaps you’ll bring my Blood Droplet with you. Though you can’t fully utilize its power yet, it could handle some ancestral-level masters!" the Zi Wei Priestess continued.

Ye Luo shook his head, "No, your cultivation is weakening, and you’re in constant danger. The Blood Droplet is your survival artifact; I can’t take it! Don’t worry, I have my own survival tactics. Tonight, you just take good care of me, and that will suffice!"

"You’re horrible!" Instantly, the Zi Wei Priestess flirted gracefully.

The whole night, they both became utterly feverish, and by morning, the Zi Wei Priestess had fallen into a deep slumber, utterly exhausted.

Ye Luo cast her a deep look, then exited.

To him, the Zi Wei Priestess wasn’t truly his woman yet, but he didn’t dislike her either.

Only after Ye Luo left the room did Zi Wei gradually open her eyes, "Ye Luo, when will I truly enter your heart?"

Upon reaching the Zi Wei Sect’s gate, Nuonuo was already there waiting for him, clearly displeased.

"What’s wrong, who bullied you?" Ye Luo laughed.

"Humph, none of your business!" Nuonuo, in a huff, strode ahead.

Ye Luo widened his eyes, "Is this how a disciple should behave?"

Yet, no matter what, he couldn’t bring himself to get angry.

Upon leaving Sumeru City, their pace slowed considerably. Of course, Ye Luo could use the Skysoar Beast, reaching their destination quickly.

But with plenty of time until it would open, there was no rush, plus it was a chance for body refinement!

Most importantly, it was for Nuonuo. To Ye Luo’s physique, the environment offered little benefit, but better than nothing!

Soon, Nuonuo was panting heavily, though she persisted. Her physical strength had reached the Peak of the Fifth Level of the Earth Martial Realm and could break through anytime, with her realm being at the seventh level.

Her combined strength made her a master, yet far behind the elders and ancestral figures. Thus, rapid breakthroughs in body refinement were needed.

After all, progressing realms was far more difficult than body refinement.

And body refinement required enduring intense pain.

"Take this!" Ye Luo tossed her a small bottle containing the essence of the Spirit Pool.

It was a rare resource beneficial to both body refinement and realm advancement.

Nuonuo didn’t hesitate, starting to absorb and refine it. Soon, her condition stabilized with significant physical strength growth!

After about two days, her body broke through!

The cost, however, left her whole body bloodied, a terrifying sight. Witnessing her expression always pained Ye Luo slightly.

This little girl was pushing too hard.

Nonetheless, her progress was astounding, even impressing Ye Luo.

"My body finally broke through again. Next time I won’t push so hard; each time you see me in such a state, you don’t like me anymore, preferring that Zi Wei Sister!" Nuonuo grumbled.

Ye Luo didn’t respond; this girl was too mischievous.

Yet in no time, she somehow became clean and fresh, untouched by the harsh climate.

Of course, Ye Luo could achieve the same, but it required using Great Magical Power.

Watching her for a moment, he understood; Nuonuo was using mana for it, a bold girl wasting mana on this!
