Extremely Perilous

"Saint-Saintess, what do we do now?"

Ning Fan watched a pair of young disciples approaching from a distance, chatting and laughing. His heart sank heavily, and he could not help but look down at Lingxu Fairy beneath him.

If they broke the barrier, wouldn't they see him and Lingxu Fairy?!

Ning Fan did not really mind-well, actually, he did. If word got out about him and Lingxu Fairy, that 'Ancestor' would probably not let him off.

But the real disaster would be for Lingxu Fairy.

The lofty Saintess of the Sect, appearing in the Yin Yang Tower in such a state...

Ning Fan figured Lingxu Fairy definitely would not be able to endure the shame.

"This-this disciple Ning Fan is currently thinking of a way."

"Do not move!"

"..."

Lingxu Fairy gritted her teeth and shot Ning Fan a furious glare, completely unable to concentrate her thoughts.

"Saintess, we cannot just stop, right? You know that if we stop moving now, it will be even harder for you to stabilize your mind," Ning Fan argued.

"..."

Hearing this, the corner of Lingxu Fairy's mouth could not help but twitch.

It seemed he actually had a point.

No.

Now was not the time to think about this. In just a few more breaths, those people outside would probably shatter the barrier.

"Mm-"

The more anxious she became, the more Lingxu Fairy's senses focused entirely on her body, an indescribable sound threatening to escape her lips.

"Ning Fan, no matter what, you must solve this."

"You must!"

"Otherwise, I will definitely kill you!"

"..."

Lingxu Fairy gritted her teeth, glaring at Ning Fan as she spoke.

Hearing this, Ning Fan grumbled inwardly.

As if she would let him off even if he solved the problem at hand! But complaints aside, the matter still needed to be resolved.

"Jiaomei, look at this barrier. Based on its size, there must be plenty of Yin Yang Qi inside."

The small group of disciples had already stopped in front of the barrier hiding Ning Fan and Lingxu Fairy. Thanks to the barrier's one-way concealment, these disciples could not yet see them.

"Shao Hong!?"

Ning Fan muttered to himself upon recognizing the leader. He had not expected to run into a familiar face so soon after entering the Yin Yang Tower.

Wait, that was not right.

Logically, Shao Hong did not have the qualifications to enter the Yin Yang Tower. Could he have used his own methods to join the main peak as an exception?

He had no idea.

"Great."

"Brother Shao Hong, Jiaomei wants this barrier. Hurry up and break it open-"

The female disciple's soft, coquettish voice rang out.

It had to be said.

Shao Hong, that sex-starved ghost, really knew how to choose a partner. This female disciple had a lush, curvaceous figure, yet every move she made exuded a captivating innocence.

She was exceptionally alluring.

"..."

Stirred by the woman's teasing, Shao Hong raised his hand, looking ready to shatter the barrier.

"Hiss-"

Ning Fan sucked in a breath of cold air.

He glanced to the side and noticed several other empty barriers nearby.

An idea immediately came to him.

Ning Fan's solution was incredibly simple.

Holding onto Lingxu Fairy, he stood up, moving with her to the very edge of the barrier. Raising his hand, he knocked firmly against the barrier from the inside.

Thud, thud- A dull, muffled sound rang out.

Hearing the noise, the group outside instantly froze, staring warily at the barrier hiding Ning Fan and Lingxu Fairy.

"Brother Shao Hong, could there be someone inside?" the female disciple asked in a soft voice.

"..."

The surrounding disciples, including Shao Hong, all shot her a disdainful look. Of course there was someone inside-where else would the sound have come from?

"Senior Brother Shao, let it go. There are plenty of other barriers here; we do not have to insist on this one," a disciple beside Shao Hong advised.

"Mm, that is true."

Shao Hong nodded in deep agreement.

They had no idea who was inside the barrier. If they broke it open only to discover an existence they could not afford to offend, it would be a disaster.

Interrupting another person's intimate affairs would surely result in them being violently thrown out of the Yin Yang Tower.

Just as Shao Hong was about to withdraw his hand, the female disciple voiced her dissatisfaction.

"Brother Shao Hong, no! I want this big barrier."

In that moment.

Shao Hong did not withdraw his hand. Instead, he swung it forward, delivering a heavy slap directly to the female disciple's face.

"I, Shao Hong, am naturally cautious. Do not try to get me killed!"

Shao Hong cursed under his breath.

The next moment.

He turned and marched toward a nearby barrier without looking back. The disciples beside him immediately followed, leaving the slapped female disciple clutching her cheek.

She stood there, looking incredibly wronged.

After sulking for a brief moment, seeing that Shao Hong and the others showed no sign of turning back, the female disciple stomped her foot and scurried after them.

"..."

Seeing this, Ning Fan's mouth twitched.

Heh.

That was Shao Hong for you-cautious to an absolute fault. Then again, most ordinary cultivators would choose another barrier once they knew someone was inside. Ning Fan was simply far more certain of Shao Hong's cowardly nature.

"Phew-"

Lingxu Fairy could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Yet the moment she relaxed, the overwhelming sensation she had barely suppressed during her tense panic came surging back.

"Hah-"

A scandalous sound escaped Lingxu Fairy's lips. Hearing the noise she herself had just made, even she found it hard to believe.

This sound...

Had it really come from her own mouth?!

No, impossible!!

"Saintess, it is almost over. Come, absorb the Yin Yang Qi!"

Ning Fan, as if seduced by Lingxu Fairy's voice, began to breathe far more heavily. Another period of intense cultivation passed.

Both Ning Fan and Lingxu Fairy realized that their dual cultivation was nearing its end.

The next moment.

Their spiritual power converged in one place, merging completely in perfect harmony, balancing Yin and Yang. When the spiritual power finally separated again...

Ning Fan and Lingxu Fairy both felt the spiritual power within their bodies grow significantly more abundant.

Another breakthrough!

Although it had not been long since his last breakthrough, Ning Fan's realm surged directly to the sixth level of the Profound Extreme Realm. This cultivation speed was truly astonishing!

This was not just the effect of the Yin Yang Qi-it also proved just how terrifying Lingxu Fairy's cultivation base truly was!

It was even higher than Ye Honglian's Heaven Extreme Realm!

"This tower was definitely worth entering!"

Ning Fan's eyes gleamed brightly.

At this rate, even breaking through to the Earth Extreme Realm was within his grasp. Oh, wait.

Ning Fan suddenly remembered.

Once his realm reached the peak of the Profound Extreme Realm, he still had to cultivate the second stage of the Spirit Marrow Saint-Piercing Method. Thus, whether he could cleanly break through to the Earth Extreme Realm remained uncertain, as he still did not know how difficult the second stage of the Spirit Marrow Saint-Piercing Method would be to master.

But no matter what.

He absolutely could not afford to slack off in cultivating the Spirit Marrow Saint-Piercing Method.
