I Can Strengthen Infinitely

The seven of them were quite infamous in the Jianghu, causing many to both fear and hate them, but they got along quite well with the Soul Chaser trio.

That day, after Wu’an Monarch chased Qin Yuesheng away, the Soul Chaser trio returned to the Central Plains to find friends to come to the Northern Desert to see the Heavenly Gate.

Without a doubt, this Heavenly Gate should be the quickest path leading to the celestial realm from the mortal world.

"Immortals, is it true that crossing this Heavenly Gate will make us immortals?"

"It’s hard to say, why not give it a try?"

"I’ve heard that breaking through the realms for ascension requires facing the threefold calamities of Celestial Fire, Celestial Thunder, and Celestial Wind. Even if we manage to pass through the gate, we might still encounter those calamities and be unable to endure them. You know, only those at the Saint Wheel Realm have the strength to resist."

A group of Grandmasters stood beneath the Heavenly Gate, discussing fervently, but they couldn’t reach a consensus.

Among the ten Grandmasters, including the Soul Chaser trio, some undoubtedly wanted to try crossing the Heavenly Gate, while others were apprehensive of the dangers; no one could make a definite decision at that moment.

Just as the ten people hesitated, the Heavenly Gate suddenly moved, ripples appeared on its surface, and a leg stepped out first.

In an instant, the place where the Heavenly Gate stood was ablaze with sunlight, accompanied by celestial music, extremely melodious.

The Soul Chaser trio, who had witnessed Wu’an Monarch’s appearance, changed expressions instantly, trembling with fear.

Could this be yet another Immortal descending to the mortal world?

"A strange aura, how could there be a gate leading to another realm here?" A celestial couple, a man and a woman, walked out from within the Heavenly Gate, one in front, the other behind.

Both were dressed in pure white robes embroidered with white Qilins, the male immortal held a fan, while the female immortal held an oiled paper umbrella, stepping on pure white clouds, each accompanied by a small beast at their feet.

The ten Soul Chasers were dumbfounded. What an extraordinary coincidence, to witness Immortals descending to the mortal world again with their own eyes.

"The air in this world is heavily polluted. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the mortal realm sealed off a thousand years ago. However, I can sense a trace of exceptional Spiritual Qi that only exists in the celestial realm. Could it be that an Immortal has been deploying magic in the mortal world?"

This celestial couple conversed with each other, completely ignoring the ten Grandmasters under the Heavenly Gate.

The ten Soul Chasers dared not make a sound, as the mere aura exuding from this couple was enough to suppress them.

"Madam, this mortal world that hasn’t been visited for a thousand years is quite intriguing. Why don’t we explore it a bit, to see what it’s like?" the male immortal suggested with a smile.

The female immortal thought for a moment, "Alright, let’s explore the mortal world, then we can inform other celestial friends about the reopening of it."

The two Immortals nodded to each other and then left riding the clouds.

Leaving behind the bewildered ten Soul Chasers.

...

Along the way, Qin Killer carried Qin Yuesheng continuously southward. As Qin Yuesheng healed himself, the injuries inflicted by Wu’an Monarch’s strike gradually healed, allowing him to move independently again.

At this moment, Qin Yuesheng discovered that the Soul-Catching Demon had undergone a significant transformation.

Previously, the outer color of the Soul-Catching Demon was very dark, but now it had turned a fresh pinkish-red, like a QQ preserved egg.

Whenever Qin Yuesheng called out to it, the Soul-Catching Demon would respond lazily, showing no motivation at all.

Qin Yuesheng figured out that the Soul-Catching Demon must have absorbed a lot of Immortal Blood at the time, causing it to mutate into its current form.

Even the most ordinary stones and plants could become spirits and monsters when encountering Immortal Blood, let alone the already mystical Soul-Catching Demon. Qin Yuesheng was certain that the transformation of the Soul-Catching Demon would be tremendous in due course.

"Phew." Practicing a set of fist techniques on the spot, Qin Yuesheng felt the vitality of his rejuvenated body, filled with excitement.

As the saying goes, breakthrough after breaking. After sustaining injuries from Wu’an Monarch’s strike, his cultivation and strength seemed to have made further progress.

"It seems there’s a town ahead, should we rest there?" Qin Killer asked.

"Sure." Qin Yuesheng was indifferent and set off with Qin Killer toward the distant town.

As they got closer to the town, with Qin Yuesheng’s Biluo Eye vision being exceptional, they noticed wisps of smoke rising from the town, as if there was a fire.

Qin Yuesheng and Qin Killer exchanged glances, puzzled; could this town have experienced a fire?

"Ah!!!"

As they got closer, the screams and cries from the town started to reach the ears of Qin Yuesheng and Qin Killer. They were extremely tragic, filled with hysteria and despair.

Additionally, there were beast-like sounds coming from the town. Just as Qin Yuesheng reached the town entrance, he saw a black dog chasing a woman running out of the town. This black dog had a large number of bone spurs around its neck, blood-red eyes, a tail closely resembling a meteor hammer, spewing large flames from its mouth.

The woman being chased was holding a child, her legs already charred black by the flames, exposing gruesome burn wounds.

As the black dog leaped to bite the woman, Qin Yuesheng flicked his finger, a surge of Inner Strength shooting out, precisely piercing the dog’s forehead and killing it instantly, saving the woman from doom.

"Could it be that the Spirit Beasts from the Northern Desert have already spread to here?" Qin Yuesheng’s expression was grave.

These black dogs clearly were not mere monsters. It seemed that the Spirit Beasts from the Northern Desert, having gained intelligence, began migrating south into the Central Plains, gradually invading the other parts of the Nine Provinces.

This situation was extremely troubling.
