This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Finally seeing the light of day again, Nangong Yue patted her heaving chest and said with lingering fear:

"Thank goodness you were here, otherwise we would have been in big trouble..."

Li Daoxuan stared intently at Nangong Yue, a barely perceptible look of shock hidden in his eyes.

Nangong Yue's cultivation level skyrocketed from the fourth level to the sixth level.

Li Daoxuan, a martial arts practitioner, knew very well that advancing from the fourth to the sixth level required a long period of time to gradually refine one's blood and qi into martial arts true qi.

Even for those with exceptional talent, there is no such thing as instant success.

It's not that it's impossible, but rather that the body's Qi, blood, and essence are simply insufficient to support such a sudden surge in speed. Perhaps before reaching that level, the Qi and blood would already be depleted.

Therefore, martial arts practitioners need to nourish themselves with a large amount of spiritual medicine or rare and precious herbs while cultivating martial arts true qi. Otherwise, let alone becoming a master, they might lose their lives first.

At this moment, Nangong Yue was already a genuine sixth-level expert, and had even reached the perfection of the sixth level. She was only one step away from entering the Refining God Realm and breaking through to the seventh level.

Moreover, her martial arts true energy was incredibly profound, and her blood and qi showed no signs of depletion; on the contrary, she possessed an extremely solid foundation.

"What did you encounter inside just now?"

Li Daoxuan asked curiously.

Nangong Yue did not hide anything and answered in detail:

"I don't know how I suddenly entered a strange space. There was nothing there, just some very beautiful auras flowing in the void."

"Later, for some reason, those auras suddenly began to penetrate my body, trying to invade my dantian and soul."

"I... I seem really angry, tell them to get out."

"Then I passed out, and when I woke up I looked like this..."

Li Daoxuan frowned, and a golden light flashed in his eyes again.

He could see the full extent of Nangong Yue's internal condition.

His gaze swept over the intricate network of meridians and finally settled on her flesh and bones.

Li Daoxuan was suddenly startled.

He actually felt a powerful yet extremely strong pressure acting on his divine sense, even though it wasn't particularly strong.

Although he couldn't remove his divine sense, Li Daoxuan clearly felt immense pressure.

"Bloodline suppression...it's actually bloodline suppression?"

Li Daoxuan found it somewhat unbelievable.

It's unlikely that even a Martial God could make him feel the suppression of his bloodline.

Since even the God of War couldn't do it, then...

Li Daoxuan's divine sense slowly withdrew from Nangong Yue's flesh and blood. Just as he was about to leave her body, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

It seems there's something inside Nangong Yue that makes him feel very uncomfortable.

His gaze quickly moved upwards, landing on Nangong Yue's forehead.

The mind connected with Nangong Yue's sea of ​​consciousness, but found nothing unusual.

Li Daoxuan had no choice but to withdraw his divine sense and ponder silently.

"Strange... I'm unlikely to be mistaken..."

As a cultivator at the Five Elements Convergence Realm, one's five senses would never be wrong.

In other words, there must be some secrets about Nangong Yue that he cannot see through.

Even Nangong Yue herself didn't know this secret.

After pondering for a while without finding an answer, Li Daoxuan had no choice but to give up.

When he came to his senses and looked at Nangong Yue, he saw that Nangong Yue had her arms crossed and was looking at him warily.

Li Daoxuan asked in confusion:

"What's wrong with you?"

Nangong Yue's face flushed slightly, and she said somewhat hesitantly:

"Why do I feel like... you can see right through me..."

Li Daoxuan was taken aback upon hearing this and smiled somewhat awkwardly:

"Sorry, I was indeed looking you up and down just now..."

Nangong Yue's expression changed slightly, and her eyes clearly showed some fear.

Li Daoxuan quickly explained:

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I just noticed that your cultivation level has suddenly increased dramatically, and I'm worried that there might be some hidden dangers, so I need to investigate it carefully."

Nangong Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her arms remained crossed over her chest.

Li Daoxuan chuckled. At his level, he had long since transcended the lustful desires of mortals. Why would he use supernatural powers to spy?

However, the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes. Presumably, as long as you spend more time with him, Nangong Yue will understand what kind of person he is, and her guard will naturally drop.

Li Daoxuan changed the subject and asked:

"I just observed the energy within your body and discovered that your bloodline seems quite unusual, Miss Nangong. Were your ancestors... perhaps somewhat extraordinary?"

Nangong Yue was taken aback and shook her head blankly.

But after a moment, she seemed to remember something and quickly said:

"Perhaps...it has something to do with my father?"

"Your father? Your father is...?"

Nangong Yue slowly lowered her head, and said with some sadness:

"I've only heard my master mention a few words occasionally when his old injuries flared up and he was delirious. My father seems to be a member of the Hongyu Imperial Clan..."

"Later I asked my master, but he wouldn't say anything."

"Once I was so heartbroken that I cried for a long time before my master told me that my father was in the Hongyu Sacred Realm of Tianxiang City."

"But she wouldn't let me go to Celestial City."

Li Daoxuan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Hongyu Imperial Clan...

This is the most powerful force currently existing within the Xuan Domain of the Xuanhuang Great World.

It is the race established by the Great Emperor Hongyu.

Li Daoxuan suddenly understood; no wonder Nangong Yue was so determined to go to Tianxiang City.

Tianxiang City is the city located at the exit of the Hongyu Sacred Realm, which is occupied by the Hongyu Imperial Clan.

However, what truly shocked Li Daoxuan was that Nangong Yue was actually a descendant of Emperor Hongyu.

The reason he was so certain was because of the extremely high quality of the bloodline power within Nangong Yue's body, which allowed him to feel bloodline suppression. The only bloodline flowing through Nangong Yue's body could be that of an emperor.

Given that she said her father came from the Hongyu Imperial Clan, this makes sense.

In that sense, it makes sense that Nangong Yue's cultivation level suddenly increased dramatically.

"Could it be that she was able to leave the Soul Sea Secret Realm because she relied on her Emperor's bloodline?"

Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

But then I felt that things might not be that simple.

Li Daoxuan didn't ask any more questions. After a moment of silence, he pointed ahead and said:

"Let's go, let's find a place to rest..."

Nangong Yue nodded silently, then looked back at the Soul Sea Secret Realm behind her. From the outside, it seemed to be just a slightly desolate area.

Who could have imagined that it was such a terrifying forbidden place?

If it were anyone else, even a celestial being or a martial god, they might not have been able to get out smoothly.

As Nangong Yue watched, her gaze suddenly paused, and a strange light flashed across the depths of her eyes.

It returned to normal in an instant.
