Chapter 878: My Husband Is Back

She first glanced at Jiang Fan and said, "Eighth-level Core Formation, your cultivation is a bit weak."

As she spoke, she gently opened her mouth, and a demonic core with tiger stripes slowly flew out, hovering above Jiang Fan's head. Strands of essence descended from the demonic core, enveloping him.

Jiang Fan immediately felt a warmth spread through his body. The Golden Core inside him began to spin rapidly, absorbing the essence that flowed into his body.

In a short while, a powerful spiritual energy whirlwind erupted around his body. With a muffled thud, his Golden Core suddenly expanded by a full circle. A sense of oppressive power, characteristic of a ninth-level Core Formation cultivator, emanated from Jiang Fan.

Wei Chaoran looked utterly shocked. "Ninth-level Core Formation... he just broke through like that?" No one reaches ninth-level Core Formation without arduous effort. Even with the support of the Horizon Pavilion, he had to diligently accumulate merits to earn resources. But Jiang Fan? He achieved it in one go!

Yu Peiyuan smiled with relief, saying, "Junior Brother Jiang truly has 'fool's luck'. So many prodigies in the Grand State of Taicang are stuck at eighth-level Core Formation, yet he just broke through so easily."

Venerable Qiyin also showed a hint of surprise. The act of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator directly infusing power to help a junior Core Formation cultivator advance their cultivation was rarely heard of in the Grand State of Taicang. This was because it would deplete the essence of the late-stage Nascent Soul expert, and the benefits gained were limited to the Core Formation level. It was not worth the loss. Therefore, even for their own bloodline descendants, those old monsters in the late Nascent Soul stage would not do something so unprofitable. Now, this late-stage Demon Emperor tigress, in order to repay a debt of gratitude, did not hesitate to expend her Nascent Soul essence to directly help Jiang Fan raise his realm. Jiang Fan was truly lucky!

Seeing his breakthrough, Biluo retrieved her now significantly dimmer demonic core and said, "I can't help you advance any further. Otherwise, your foundation will become unstable, which would harm you rather than benefit you."

Feeling an unprecedented surge of power, Jiang Fan's heart swelled with emotion as he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Sister Biluo!"

Biluo nodded and said, "As for reaching the perfected realm, you'll have to refine it yourself. Remember, the more profoundly you refine it, the better. This way, your success rate during tribulation will be higher, and you'll gain more benefits after passing it. My master once refined the perfected realm to an incredibly profound degree. When she finally broke through, she directly opened a two-aperture Nascent Soul, setting a historical precedent."

Directly breaking through to a two-aperture Nascent Soul? That sounds too defying of the heavens, doesn't it? Others, after barely surviving and miraculously breaking through to Nascent Soul, are ecstatic. Yet the owner of this ruin achieved the two-aperture Nascent Soul realm directly, shocking the world!

However, if one truly wants to refine it to the extent her master did, there must be a special method. Otherwise, when those old monsters who have accumulated for decades at the peak of ninth-level Core Formation break through, why haven't we seen them break through to a two-aperture Nascent Soul? You can't possibly say their perfected realm hasn't been refined deeply enough, can you?

"Understood, I'll remember that." Jiang Fan nodded heavily.

Biluo then took out two blue seeds, placed them in Jiang Fan's palm, and said, "Make good use of these two. Do not give them to anyone else. Understand?"

A hint of doubt flickered in Jiang Fan's heart. He sensed something was amiss. During tribulation, one seed would be enough. Why give two? And also warn him not to give them to others? Could it be that the extra seed holds another mystery? He accepted them without showing any change in expression, saying, "Yes, thank you, Sister Biluo."

Biluo looked at Jiang Fan, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Then I won't keep you and this young lady any longer. Otherwise, if my husband returns, neither of you will be able to leave. He's not as easygoing as I am."

Jiang Fan's pupils contracted. There's another tiger? Suddenly, he recalled the Northern Sea Demon Emperor saying that a formidable ferocious beast had escaped from the Divine Transformation ruin. It had slaughtered many experts from the Northern Sea Demon Clan. Could that ferocious beast be Biluo's husband? And combining this with the fact that they couldn't leave the Divine Transformation ruin, Jiang Fan had a guess. It wasn't that they couldn't leave, but that once they left the ruin, their strength would plummet. That male tiger, by summoning swarms of venomous insects and causing chaos in the Northern Sea, was actually preventing anyone from entering the Divine Transformation ruin again and disturbing their lives.

Realizing this, he dared not hesitate and immediately pulled Yu Peiyuan, saying, "Senior Sister Yu, let's go." If the tigress was already so formidable, how could the male tiger be any weaker?

Yu Peiyuan looked at Venerable Qiyin and said, "But my master and the others..."

Biluo said expressionlessly, "They can't leave. She could let Jiang Fan and Yu Peiyuan go because Jiang Fan had saved her family of three. As for these three, since they dared to enter, they shouldn't expect to leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, Venerable Xietong's face drastically changed. He had thought he could benefit from Jiang Fan and leave with him.

But at that moment, Biluo seemed to sense something, and her face suddenly changed. "Oh no! My husband is back! You must have caused a disturbance by coming to the ruin, and he discovered it and rushed back in time." Her face showed anxiety. If her husband found Jiang Fan and Yu Peiyuan, he would absolutely not let them leave. She glanced around. She immediately grabbed both of them, hid them behind the dragon throne, and anxiously said, "Don't make a sound! Otherwise, I won't be able to save you either."

No sooner had she spoken, the main hall doors opened. A powerful man, bare-chested and exuding overwhelming murderous aura, strode into the hall. Seeing Venerable Qiyin and the other two, he immediately showed a grim expression and said, "Damn you! You even came to my home! You're asking for death!" With a cold snort, all three were simultaneously forced to their knees by the terrifying pressure. Their hearts were filled with immense dread. This male tiger's strength was a full third more powerful than the tigress's.

Biluo quickly said, "Huangquan, don't rush, I've already got them under control. Our child is fine." So the male tiger was named Huangquan. He stared grimly at the three and said coldly, "I already summoned venomous insects, and you still foolishly barged in here. Since that's the case, you don't need to leave! Just stay here obediently!"

Suddenly, he noticed something was off inside the palace. The temperature was noticeably much lower. He glanced at the fire pool and was immediately startled: "Where did this sword come from? And it suppressed the master's fire furnace?" Biluo, slightly flustered, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "It's a treasure they found on their person."

"They?" Huangquan scanned the few people present.

Venerable Qiyin and Wei Chaoran naturally wouldn't betray Jiang Fan and Yu Peiyuan. They were already trapped, why drag Yu Peiyuan in too? However, Venerable Xietong was not pleased. "Why should he die while that brat Jiang Fan gets to live? If he had to die, everyone should die together!" His lips moved, about to speak. But then he saw Biluo staring coldly at him, which scared him into quickly suppressing his malicious thoughts. While exposing Jiang Fan would indeed lead to Jiang Fan's death, he would certainly die before Jiang Fan, and die miserably.

Seeing that none of them spoke, Huangquan looked back at the fire pool. His eyes lit up with surprise: "Hahahaha! Heaven doesn't mean to destroy our family of three! Biluo, we can live peacefully and securely in the ruin now. No one will disturb us anymore." Biluo echoed his smile.

But suddenly, her eyelid twitched as she noticed the little tiger climbing onto the high platform with its tiny legs. Its small head peered behind the dragon throne. It let out small "awoo" cries, as if alerting its father that there were people there. Immediately after, Jiang Fan delivered a punch to its round little head, causing it to tumble noisily off the high platform. The commotion instantly caught Huangquan's attention.
