The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 839 - 339: The Returnee

"Boom——"

Within the Hall of the Holy Spirit, the ground shook and the mountains trembled as if the heavens were flipping over, the sense of shaking becoming stronger with each occurrence.

Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying, both standing solemnly, promptly reassumed their Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits.

Finally, aside from GuaGua hiding in the collar and the three young Chimeras with distinctly different expressions, no other Fond Spirits remained outside.

"Time really flies," Ye Liuying couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Embracing a do-or-die belief, she bravely ventured into the most top-tier Trial Ground of her family.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Unexpectedly, in the end, neither did she find pieces of the Shura Bow, nor did she obtain the millennia-old Medicine.

The Supreme Saint bloodline, the direct offspring of Supreme Saints—none of these had anything to do with her.

The greatest gain turned out to be ancient secrets that even a Crown Rank would need to read patiently.

"They say fate toys with us, and now I’ve truly experienced it."

"Fortunately, if one survives till the end, there will be Job Authority absorption; having this slight hope brings some comfort."

Ye Liuying, with pursed lips, gazed intently ahead.

In the ripples of light, there was a hue of anticipation.

In these hundred years, she focused on learning knowledge and had scarce opportunities for real combat.

The growth Law of the Night Angel naturally slowed in efficiency.

But that wasn’t a problem, as long as she had affinity with the abilities mastered by the progenitors, without being an extreme mutation or a rare offshoot lineage.

Upon leaving the great tomb, the survivors would receive an infusion of Job Authority Experience Value, reaching the position of Seventh Rank in one go, achieving a true promotion and advancement in authority.

"If all goes well, the moment I return to Without-Sun City, I will be an S-ranked ’Eternal Night Angel.’"

"The Meteorite Giant, whose physique has been tempered with holy Marks and the sea of blood on Corpse Mountain, having digested the Secret Technique for eighty years, will now ascend to the Unlimited Foetus, on par with Elder-level combat power."

"As for you..."

Ye Liuying scrutinized Ye Hanjun’s profile, frowning beautifully:

"Advancing one’s class early brings an issue that can’t be overlooked."

"While enjoying an early promotion of abilities, the current status’s Job Authority Experience Value will either be significantly depleted or completely reset to zero, necessitating a process of re-accumulation."

"Because of the Tomb of Asura, the ’Hell Judge’ that still corresponds to the progenitor’s Law will also receive a Job Authority infusion, and the chance to take a shortcut naturally arises."

"As for Ye Yin, no matter how these eighty years have fared, at least he survived."

"His Job Authority, even if it hasn’t been boosted, being on the edge of death day and night—his Experience Points have probably maxed out long ago. It’s the tomb that limited his breakthrough."

"Yes," Ye Hanjun nodded, "he suffered greatly when he was stranded on the 15th floor alone."

"Later, when I fell to the 19th floor and he stayed on the 16th floor by himself, it was quite difficult for him to survive."

"However... whether the ’miracle survivor’ has a direction for a vertical class change, that’s still unknown."

"If he doesn’t receive the boost and lacks a direction for advancement, after returning to the family, there will be a lot of struggle."

"What if there is no ’if’?"

Ye Liuying gave him a white look:

"When the Taoist’s Bond triggers and the Dual Job Authority Experience Value is full, the moment you land, there will be lightning tribulation striking down."

"If under everyone’s eyes, you end up just falling and dying, that will truly be an unprecedented scene, enough to go down in the clan history as a notorious example."

"Stop digging holes for me."

Ye Hanjun waved his hand nonchalantly, tapping Ye Liuying’s forehead with the knuckle of his index finger:

"The City Protection Array of Without-Sun City, even when not fully activated, can avoid a part of the fate’s design."

"Thus, as long as I hold back from breaking through, there will still be time to prepare, and it won’t be so abrupt or so awkward."

"I’m just reminding you."

Ye Liuying, holding her forehead, hummed:

"If you die and become a ’Corpse Soldier,’ Little GuaGua might just die of grief."

"That’s correct! GuaGua would be heartbroken!"

GuaGua raised its hands, arguing righteously:

"GuaGua will not allow the Big Tadpole to perish! Never!"

"Whatever lightning tribulation it is, GuaGua was able to help last time, and GuaGua will surely be able to this time too!"

"And that tattered rag, although GuaGua doesn’t like it,"

"Having digested for eighty years, its stomach must be somewhat emptier now."

"It, who hasn’t missed a single killer fire cannon, surely likes the lightning attribute calamity; it will be able to ease Big Tadpole’s pressure for sure!"

The rest can be left to Grandpa Jue!"

"And the big iron goose! Although it’s not very capable, it can take a hit, and it’s a very good goose-shaped Shield!"

"In short, with concerted efforts and collective wisdom, no difficulty can stop us—it must be so!"

Waving its little hands as if ready to enter the battlefield, GuaGua was fully prepared.

Ye Hanjun tapped its head and smiled faintly, like clouds being shredded to pieces.

If only it were that simple.

Unfortunately, according to ancient records from the Ancient Cosmos era, the Path of Controlling Spirits associated with Dual Authorities was fraught with difficulties... it must be measured against even greater dangers, and the slightest negligence could result in failure.

"Boom——"

Two thick beams of light, dragon-like, split from the rift in space, enveloping Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying one after the other.

Without having to agree, the two stopped their conversation, their eyes slowly closing.

The grand light coursed through their flesh, purging impurities and cleansing away the dust particles.

After circulating one hundred and eight times, the interior organs glowed a full rosy hue, while the exterior skin was whiter than snow, resembling human treasures with tender branches and delicate leaves, smooth and exquisite, comparable to the finest porcelain and jewels.

"Whoosh——"

The Wings of Night behind Ye Liuying continued to grow, at one moment even covering the sky.
