Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Lin Quan watched the two figures as they walked away, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

He then turned his head, his gaze falling on Li Hanyi, his voice gentle yet resolute:

"Once Zhu Yu's strength stabilizes and her spirit rings are complete, let's go out for a walk and see the sights..."

"Perhaps one day, Hanyi, you will touch that barrier and truly enter the realm of divine travel."

As soon as Lin Quan finished speaking, Li Hanyi nodded in agreement, her movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

With her current level of half-step to the peak of the Divine Realm, on the surface, she is only a thin veil away from the Divine Realm.

But this "thin sheet" is actually like a precipice, or a galaxy hanging upside down; a slight difference can make all the difference.

If an opportunity arises, she can shatter the shackles and enter the realm of mystery with a single step;

If the opportunity hasn't arrived, even ten or twenty years of arduous practice may not be enough to open that door.

At this very moment, her heart was clear and calm, without a trace of anxiety.

Time slips by unnoticed...

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed without a sound.

Zhu Zhuyu used these three days to firmly solidify her newly acquired cultivation deep within her bones and muscles.

Furthermore, under Zhu Zhuqing's personal guidance, he truly mastered the "Formless Divine Skill" and internalized it into his very being.

Soul power is like molten gold being tempered in fire, forged inch by inch into true energy, surging endlessly in the meridians.

Once he absorbs the fifth soul ring, he can break through the bottleneck and leap to a new level.

Seeing this, Lin Quan said no more and immediately called out, "Let's go, let's hunt for Soul Rings for Zhu Zhuyu first!"

Before the words were even finished, Li Hanyi and the other two had already nimbly prepared to depart without any delay.

Before an incense stick had burned, the four of them were all ready and set off.

"Sunset Forest, let's go!"

Lin Quan fluttered his sleeves and led the way, followed closely by the three women. Their figures moved like the wind and lightning, heading straight for the Sunset Forest, the closest forest outside Tian Dou City.

The four of them moved with the graceful, fluid grace of flowing water and shimmering waves.

Zhu Zhuyu was the only one who was learning this skill for the first time. Her steps were a little clumsy at first and her steps were a little slow, but she quickly regained her rhythm.

After leaving the city, their speed suddenly increased, as fast as an arrow released from a bow.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the vast and desolate forest of Sunset Forest has already unfolded before our eyes.

Without stopping, the group went straight into the heart of the territory.

Lin Quan had previously examined Zhu Zhuyu's physique and soul power foundation repeatedly.

For her, spirit rings under 50,000 years old were as easy as drinking tea and eating.

Although Sunset Forest has no giants that are hundreds of thousands of years old, and the strongest are only eighty or ninety thousand years old, it is rich in beasts and has a diverse bloodline, which is exactly what Zhu Zhuyu needs at the moment.

Not to mention the fifth ring, there are plenty of candidates for the sixth and seventh rings as well.

More importantly, after mastering the "Formless Divine Skill", the constraints of the Soul Ring's age limit on her have loosened.

As long as you continue refining, old rings can be shed and new rings can be formed, and increasing the age limit is just a natural process.

For her, age is no longer a barrier, but merely an added bonus.

Absorbing another high-age soul ring will at most increase soul power by three-tenths.

What's truly important are the primordial soul skills hidden within the bloodlines of soul beasts.

With their combined strength, along with the terrain and wildlife of Sunset Forest, they made their way through without any obstacles.

It didn't take much effort to lock onto the target:

A Netherworld Divine Disc—its bloodline has reached the level of a super soul beast, but its cultivation is stuck at over 29,000 years, just one step away from 30,000 years.

"The Netherworld Divine Disc, with its condensed and undispersed Netherworld power, moves with such speed that it tears through the air."

"The age is just right, and the aura is compatible, making it perfect as Zhu Yu's fifth soul ring."

Before Lin Quan could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Brother Quan, I'll take this one."

Upon hearing this, Lin Quan stopped raising his hand and simply nodded slightly at her.

Swish!

Zhu Zhuqing's figure instantly transformed into a black shadow, with black mist surging around her like ink waves, and eight soul rings rising one after another—seven black and one red, their radiance chilling.

With a series of afterimages and before the black mist had dissipated, the person had already arrived in front of the Netherworld Divine Disc.

In the blink of an eye, a sharp claw, flashing with a cold light and accompanied by a piercing whistle, aimed straight for its head!

What caught Zhu Zhuqing, and even Lin Quan and the others completely off guard was—

Just as her fierce attack was about to strike the Netherworld Divine Disc,

A shadowy figure suddenly dissipated, and the plate evaporated silently on the spot, like ink dripping into water.

When it reappeared, it was already hovering steadily more than 100 meters away, its wing edges trembling slightly and gleaming with a cold light.

"Hiss... This beast can actually tear through the void?"

Lin Quan's pupils contracted, and he blurted out, his tone full of surprise.

However, Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate for a second; a faint blue light suddenly shone from the spirit ring beneath her feet—

Swish!

The figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into thin air in the blink of an eye.

The next instant, she stepped out from the shadow cast by the Netherworld Divine Disc, her clothes unfurled, yet her killing intent was already there!

boom--!

A cold light flashed, air surged, and a muffled thud sent withered leaves rustling down.

Before the Netherworld Divine Disc could even flap its wings, it was violently thrown away, its shell shattered, and black energy spilled out.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhu Zhuqing's figure moved so fast that only afterimages remained, darting and leaping through the forest like a ghost.

But the Netherworld Divine Disc was like a tattered rag doll being pulled by invisible threads, repeatedly crashing into tree trunks, slamming into craters, and bouncing against rock walls...

Within a few dozen breaths, it was crushed before it could even catch its breath, and its spatial teleportation became a futile struggle.

In a final flash, Zhu Zhuqing, carrying the barely alive Netherworld Divine Disc, landed lightly and stood steadily in front of Lin Quan and the other two.

boom!

With a flick of her wrist, the dark shadow slammed heavily onto the muddy ground, twitched twice, and then remained still.

"Second sister, she's yours now."

"Hunt away while the kill is hot, and forge a Soul Ring!"

Zhu Zhuyu raised her eyes and looked at Lin Quan.

Lin Quan nodded: "Focus on refining it; we'll protect you."

Before she could finish speaking, her martial spirit suddenly appeared, and sharp claws flashed with cold light—

Swish!

A single, decisive blow to the brain.

A moment later, specks of ghostly light rose from the corpse, swirling and condensing, eventually transforming into a thick, impenetrable black soul ring with seven deep, abyssal patterns.

Zhu Zhuyu sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and regulated her breathing for no more than three breaths before guiding the ring into her body.

hum...

The spirit ring settled on her shoulder, and she trembled all over, her back straightening like a bow, and veins bulging on her forehead—

The immense soul power pressed down on her, causing her internal organs to churn, but she dared not slacken in the slightest. She immediately activated the Formless Divine Art and gritted her teeth to absorb it.

Time slips by unnoticed...

An hour passed in complete silence, save for the whispering of the forest wind.

Suddenly, the black ring burst forth with dazzling light, then transformed into a long rainbow, crashing into Zhu Zhuyu's dantian!

This top-grade soul ring, which was nearly 30,000 years old, was finally completely refined.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The breath surged like a tide, rising higher and higher—

Level 55! Level 56! Level 57!

It only slowly declined and became more subdued after it steadily reached the peak of level 58.

"Level 58...what a pity."

Lin Quan sighed softly, his tone devoid of any regret, but rather as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and added, "It is indeed a pity."

"If Zhu Yu hadn't just begun practicing the Formless Divine Skill and her foundation hadn't been unstable, her strength wouldn't have increased so rapidly..."

"Taking a Hundred Treasures Pill and ascending to the Soul Emperor realm in one step is not a difficult task."

When Zhu Zhuyu opened her eyes, Lin Quan was about to turn around and leave Sunset Forest.
