The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 94: Mutual Appreciation

Seeing Shuang Jiang move, Su Jingzhen followed her.

Shuang Jiang’s cultivation was extremely strong, and it was only natural that she could discover clues that others might miss.

At this moment, Shuang Jiang’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she lightly touched the rock with the inscription by Zhang Xiu.

It seemed as if she was sensing the power of the ages.

But her eyes seemed to hold a hint of surprise.

Her gaze swept towards the depths of the valley and the direction they had come from.

“A good sword mark.”

Shuang Jiang murmured to herself, causing Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows to furrow again.

“What do you mean, MIss Shuang Jiang?” Su Jingzhen asked.

Shuang Jiang shook her head. “Nothing, perhaps you don’t need to worry about sister-in-law Zhang Xiu. As I expected, she should have her own destiny.”

As she spoke, Shuang Jiang headed towards the depths of the valley, surrounded by a thin mist.

Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat as he closely followed Shuang Jiang.

Luo Yuebai instinctively wanted to follow, but suddenly felt a cold, oppressive aura enveloping him.

Looking at the backs of Shuang Jiang and Su Jingzhen, Luo Yuebai’s mouth curled into a bitter smile.

He wisely stopped in his tracks.

This aura came from Shuang Jiang, and he knew it was a sign that she didn’t want him to follow.

“Master Yue…”

The Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at Luo Yuebai, then at the inscription on the cliff wall.

Luo Yuebai shook his head. “No need to bother, no need to destroy. Let’s wait here for now.”

…

As Su Jingzhen followed Shuang Jiang deeper into the valley, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop even further.

Su Jingzhen didn’t know how far he had walked.

Along the way, he didn’t seem to notice his surroundings.

But he vaguely sensed a fierce, oppressive atmosphere in the void around him.

The mist that swept past his body made his skin feel as if it was being cut, causing a sharp, stinging pain.

“Miss Shuang Jiang, where are we?”

The further they walked, the more Su Jingzhen’s heart raced.

The oppressive atmosphere in the void seemed to grow stronger with each step.

Moreover, he felt that the spiritual energy here seemed to be growing thicker.

It was even more intense than the square in the Huayang Sect.

Shuang Jiang didn’t directly answer his question, her gaze sweeping around the surroundings.

“I never thought that in this wild and barren domain, there would be such a strange place hidden in the depths of the forest.”

After muttering to herself, her gaze finally fell on Su Jingzhen: “If you can practice the ‘Python Scales Power’ here every day, your Body Cultivation will definitely make rapid progress.”

“And when you can uncover the secrets of this place, you might even gain a not-so-small fortune.”

Shuang Jiang’s words left Su Jingzhen both excited and puzzled.

“Miss Shuang Jiang, what is this place?”

“If it’s a natural sacred land, why hasn’t the Huayang Sect discovered it after all these years?”

Clear Wind Mountain was dangerous, but for cultivators who had reached a certain level, it was nothing to be concerned about.

He believed that even in the deepest parts of Clear Wind Mountain, many cultivators must have explored it.

With spiritual energy as thick as this, if powerful cultivators had discovered it, they would have driven away all the demonic beasts and established a sect here long ago.

Shuang Jiang’s mouth curled up in a scornful smile: “There was a great man who once slashed out a sword, leaving behind this deep valley.”

“Under the chaotic collision of energies, a natural barrier was formed.”

“The cultivators of this land haven’t yet qualified to discover this place.”

“Even if they followed the outer rim of the valley and walked in, they wouldn’t be able to enter.”

Shuang Jiang paused, then smiled: “I didn’t discover it at first either, and thought it was a naturally formed valley.”

“But after getting close and sensing the extremely weak, almost imperceptible sword aura on the rock wall, I had an epiphany.”

“This can be considered a fate tailored for you.”

Su Jingzhen could sense a hint of excitement in Shuang Jiang’s tone.

In her view, although Su Jingzhen had opened two secret repositories, opening secret repositories was ultimately a matter of chance and couldn’t be relied upon to improve Body Cultivation.

In Shuang Jiang’s understanding, cultivating the body was ultimately inferior to cultivating energy.

But now, she had unexpectedly discovered this strange place, which could be considered a customized fate for Su Jingzhen.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s heart was shaken.

A single sword slash could create such a massive, deep valley?

What kind of cultivation level would be required to achieve that?

As Su Jingzhen’s heart was shaken, Shuang Jiang’s aura remained still, as if she was casually grasping at the void in front of her.

A mist condensed in her hand, and Su Jingzhen sensed an extremely powerful sword aura from it.

In an instant, the mist condensed into a virtual sword in Shuang Jiang’s palm.

Under Su Jingzhen’s astonished gaze, Shuang Jiang slapped the sword aura onto his forehead.

He only felt a stinging pain on his forehead, and almost thought he was going to die.

“I’ve left a mark of this place’s energy on you, which can be considered a key to entering and exiting this place.”

“From now on, you should be able to come and go as you please, as I said earlier. If you can fully understand this place, you should be able to protect yourself in this domain.”

After finishing, Shuang Jiang smiled and put her hands behind her back.

But Su Jingzhen sensed a hint of farewell in her tone.

Without much excitement, his heart became complicated again.

Before he could say anything, Shuang Jiang suddenly walked up to him, patted his shoulder with a heroic air, and said: “You’re excellent, I look forward to our next meeting!”

As soon as she said this, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat again.

The feeling of loss and longing grew stronger.

His heart was filled with emotions, but before he could speak, Shuang Jiang had already turned around and walked towards the deepest, most misty part of the valley.

There was still a lingering warmth on his shoulder, left by Shuang Jiang’s palm.

But Shuang Jiang’s figure was gradually fading away in the mist.

Su Jingzhen was very clear that this time, Shuang Jiang was truly not coming back.

He had never thought that their parting would come so suddenly, so quickly.

“Shuang Jiang, where should I go to find you?”

“You only need to continue getting stronger, and we will meet again.”

Hearing this already somewhat ethereal voice, Su Jingzhen’s face revealed a bitter smile once again.

But before he could feel sentimental, golden words suddenly appeared before his eyes.

?Emotional Connection level with Shuang Jiang reached: Mutual Appreciation!

Reward points: 50

Level bonus: 3

Cultivation bonus: 5?

?Remaining usable points: 249?

Seeing the level change this time, Su Jingzhen was stunned on the spot!

Had they reached the third level of Mutual Appreciation at the moment of their final parting?

The fifty-point reward that came with the level upgrade might be the last gift Shuang Jiang left for him.

The level bonus had directly tripled.

And the cultivation bonus had increased again!

Seeing the fivefold increase, Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled once more.

What kind of cultivation level had she reached?

Moreover, when Shuang Jiang left, Su Jingzhen saw that her face still had intersecting scars.

This proved that Shuang Jiang’s cultivation had not yet recovered to its peak.

His heart trembled again.

What kind of realm was Shuang Jiang’s peak?

However, he felt a pang of regret. If Shuang Jiang could have stayed with him for a few more days at this level of bonus…

Wouldn’t that have been a direct takeoff?

That way, each point increase would be fifteen points.

“Alas…”
