Chapter 964: Breaking Free from Restraints
"Holy crap!"
In the high sky, Yang Fei's exclamation rang out.
His voice was omnipresent, as if it came from all directions, shaking everyone's eardrums within the Cloud Mist Mountain Array to the point of bursting.
However, compared to the sword aura emerging from Qin Yanyang's sword body, Yang Fei's exclamation did not shock the crowd too much.
"What... what is that?"
"A toy sword? Can it even glow?"
"Under the scorching sun, even a toy sword wouldn't emit such a strong light, would it?"
"Is she concentrating her profound and pure True Qi to form the legendary sword aura?"
"Sword aura?"
The exclamations continued to rise.
A figure flashed in the void, Yang Fei rushed toward Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang glanced at him, then continued to focus on the sword aura gathering in front of her long sword.
"Hahaha, honey, you're amazing, being able to condense such a long sword aura all by yourself." Yang Fei said with immense delight.
During the battle with Chris, Qin Yanyang managed to unleash a sword aura with their combined efforts, which was intimidating enough to make Chris avoid a head-on clash.
Now that Qin Yanyang can release such a level of sword aura all by herself, how could Yang Fei not be amazed?
This sword aura extends over two meters, even more powerful than when they joined forces before.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Honey, can you make it stronger?"
Qin Yanyang nodded.
In the next moment, the dazzling golden glow in front of the soft sword increased once more.
Yang Fei's pupils shrank, and he felt a shiver in his heart.
The length of this sword aura reached at least five meters.
With the length of the arm and the sword body itself, the area within a seven-meter radius became Qin Yanyang's death zone, and anyone entering it would be doomed.
Unless they could withstand the sharpness of the sword aura.
Yang Fei swallowed hard and said, "Honey, put it... put it away, keep a low profile."
Qin Yanyang, normally composed, couldn't suppress her excitement on her face at this moment.
She listened to Yang Fei's slightly trembling voice, looked at him, and chuckled, "Didn't you say that when it's time to show strength, we should be a bit high-profile?"
Yang Fei dryly coughed and said, "Honey, you're truly amazing, like being reborn. In just one month, you condensed your True Qi to this level."
Qin Yanyang retracted her True Qi, and the sword aura instantly disappeared. She gratefully looked at Yang Fei, saying, "If it weren't for dual cultivation with you, my progress wouldn't have been this fast. Especially just now, without you controlling the Thunder Power to temper my body, my True Qi wouldn't have transformed in quality."
Yang Fei chuckled, "That's for sure. With your husband here, you'll only get stronger."
He couldn't help but hold Qin Yanyang's soft little hand.
Qin Yanyang was already an exceptionally beautiful woman, and now, with her rejuvenated spirit and significantly elevated cultivation level, her entire demeanor became even more refined than before.
Yang Fei couldn't describe the feeling.
He had never met a woman with such a aura before.
If he had to describe it, it would be ethereal, celestial.
Yes, it was the kind that would instill an inexplicable inferiority complex in ordinary folks, making them feel unworthy to look her way, feeling that one more glance would desecrate her.
What he didn't know was, after the Thunder and Lightning Tempering, Qin Yanyang had truly transcended the ordinary.
At this moment, Qin Yanyang, having once exhausted herself for the Divine Continent, was revitalized, her spirit was at its peak, her body reborn and renewed, no longer within the realm of ordinary people, a genuine cultivator blending the earth and heaven's essence with her body.
Even though Yang Fei had long had Qin Yanyang as his own and she was already his wife, at this moment, he still felt captivated by her aura and beauty.
The unprecedented sense of novelty made Yang Fei find it hard to look away from her.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a cough broke into the ears of the two.
Immediately afterward, Huang Chengcheng's voice came through, "Are you two going to show lovey-dovey in public?"
Yang Fei's face blushed with embarrassment.
Indeed, he was just immersed in the attraction Qin Yanyang held for him, nearly losing himself.
Qin Yanyang, however, simply smiled.
Yang Fei's gaze earlier had made her a little proud, like they were returning to the time when their feelings first sparked.
She was secretly pleased to maintain the attraction she had for Yang Fei, regaining a confidence she had never had before.
The two descended from the sky.
Hu Lizhong immediately approached, sincerely saying, "Congratulations to the minister for reaching a higher realm; with last month's great victory and the minister's recent advancement, our Divine Continent shall surely become the world's strongest."
Yang Fei's lips twitched, and he kicked Hu Lizhong's backside, "Old Hu, aren't you being disgusting? Get lost."
Qin Yanyang chuckled gently.
Hu Lizhong seemed indifferent, smiling as he said, "It's also thanks to Brother Yang, haha, with Brother Yang and Minister Qin's couple joining hands, we're invincible under the heavens."
Yang Fei said helplessly, "Enough already."
Hu Lizhong chuckled and stopped the flattery.
But Xiang Yunfei and other Military Department members on the side secretly admired them.
Only Old Hu could make flattery seem so natural in this setting.
"Girl, what's your realm now? Was that sword aura from the sword body just now?" Huang Chengcheng asked with a complex expression as he looked at Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang hurriedly replied, "According to Yang Fei, I should be in the Foundation Establishment Realm now. What burst from the sword body was indeed the sword aura."
"It is indeed Foundation Establishment!"
"Foundation Establishment corresponds to becoming a true cultivator."
"That's right, Foundation Establishment is about laying the foundation for the path of cultivation. Only by doing so can one pursue immortality and achieve higher results in cultivation."
"I didn't expect we would witness a Foundation Establishment cultivator in our lifetime. This is surely a special era."
"If we work hard on cultivation, perhaps we too have a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Most importantly, it's rumored that after Foundation Establishment, the body undergoes a rebirth-like transformation, genetic sequences change, and lifespan greatly increases." Brought to you by the folks at MV|LEMPYR.
"Yes, this is the true aim of our cultivation, the pursuit of longevity."
"Lo... longevity and immortality, can one truly achieve immortality through cultivation?"
All of a sudden, everyone became excited.
After all, these Innate Realm experts were over a hundred years old, and under normal circumstances, most of them could live to a hundred and forty or fifty at best.
But now, with Qin Yanyang's successful Foundation Establishment and body rebirth, according to the legends, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could enjoy a lifespan of three hundred years.
Three hundred years.
Now with the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, does it imply the potential to break through to even higher realms?
For these elderly, the temptation of longevity is immense.
Huang Chengcheng took a deep breath, looking at Qin Yanyang, "Besides the sword aura, do you feel anything else?"
Qin Yanyang thought for a moment and said, "I feel that the constraints of the world's rules on me have lessened significantly. For example... gravity."
She looked up at the sky, then with a flash, soared into the air.
The crowd merely saw a blur in front of their eyes, and then a sharp sound of air being sliced passed by their ears.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yanyang ascended to above a hundred meters high.
This speed, although not instant teleportation, felt to everyone present as if it surpasses instant teleportation.
The speed had already broken the sound barrier.
But that was not the end.
Qin Yanyang's body grew faster and higher, seemingly unaffected by gravity, heading straight towards the black vortex in the deep sky.
