1450 Godlike Body
"Wow, it's so… beautiful." Yu Rou muttered in a dazed voice as she was quickly mesmerized by the golden Array Symbols filling up the room.
Bai Lianhua, on the other hand, was shocked at the speed at which Yu Ning was forming the Array Symbols. She had seen Array Masters at work several times in Cultivation Online, but none of them were even a small fraction of Yu Ning's speed.
Naturally, the Array Masters that Bai Lianhua saw were at most level one or level two Array Masters. They were simply incomparable to a level 7 Array Master. In fact, it would be disrespectful to Yu Ning to do so.
For the next 15 minutes, Yu Ning continuously created Array Symbols without stopping even for a split second, and Yuan's body was soaked in sweat by the end.
Once finished, she combined all the symbols and shot them toward the sky.
The symbols flew right through the ceiling and quickly disappeared behind the clouds.
A few seconds later, the symbols exploded, quickly covering the entire world with a transparent veil that could only be sensed by level 6 and above Array Masters.
Yu Ning immediately fell to her butt afterward and gasped for air.
"Brother!"
"Yuan!"
Yu Rou and Bai Lianhua rushed to his side with worried expressions.
However, Yu Ning was still in control and said, "He's fine… He's just a little weak after exhausting his spiritual energy."
"Yuan, I would return your control now, but it might be dangerous to do so while you're exhausted so I will restore some of your spiritual energy first… if you don't mind."
"I don't mind."
Yu Ning nodded and corrected her position before absorbing the spiritual energy around them.
A few second later.
'Heavens! What is this cultivation speed?!'
When Yu Ning realized how much spiritual energy she was absorbing with almost zero effort, she was so shocked that she nearly lost control over Yuan's body.
'It's so easy cultivating in this body!'
It was so easy that Yu Ning wondered if she could sleep and cultivate simultaneously in Yuan's body.
'This is a godlike body that would make even gods jealous! Was he born with this body, or did he temper it to such a state?'
Yu Ning felt her borders widening after cultivating in Yuan's body, experiencing what it felt like to be a frog in a well again after countless years.
If she were born with such a heaven-defying body, she would've easily achieved Cultivation God with the same amount of time it took her to reach fourth level God Ascension.
With such an amazing body, even an immortal like Yu Ning couldn't help but have thoughts of coveting it. Unfortunately, she knew that any attempt to steal Yuan's body would be in vain, so she swiftly tossed away those unhealthy thoughts.
'I may not be able to have his body for myself, but as long as I follow him, it may be possible to taste it in the future…!'
A few minutes later, Yu Ning completely replenished Yuan's depleted cultivation base even before she realized it.
"I will leave your body now…" Yu Ning said in a dejected voice, sounding heartbroken because she could no longer experience Yuan's god-like talents.
After leaving Yuan's body, she immediately flew back into the Empyrean Overlord.
She continued speaking the following moment, "Although I have created the formation, I have yet to activate it. You can do so whenever you feel like it."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Yuan lifted his head to look at the ceiling and continued, "I will activate it when I return to the Dragon Spiral Mountain and speak with the Lord."
"What should we do now?" Yu Rou asked.
"I was going to walk around the city with you, but if you're busy, I won't bother you."
"There's no way I would be busy when you're here!" Yu Rou quickly said.
Her schedule consisted mostly of training and cultivation, and she wasn't going to waste time doing any of that when her dear brother was visiting for the first time in a long time.
"I'll let your teacher know that you won't be able to attend training."
"Thank you! By the way, how long do you plan on staying here?" Yu Rou asked.
"I was planning on staying for a day or two, but I can stay longer if you want."
"You still have a lot of things to do in Cultivation Online, right? As much as I want you to stay longer, I won't take up too much of your time, especially when you're trying to save Earth."
Yu Rou turned to look at Bai Lianhua and continued, "Do you want to come with us, Senior Sister?"
Yu Rou knew how much Bai Lianhua fancied Yuan, so she purposefully asked for her presence.
However, Bai Lianhua refused her offer and said, "Thank you for asking, but I will have to decline. Maybe next time, since I don't dare to intrude on your family time. I also have a lot of work to do."
"If you say so…" Yu Rou nodded and didn't say anything else.
Yuan left the building with Yu Rou shortly after.
The two of them walked around the city and dined at many of the highest-rated restaurants in their city.
"It's been so long since I've gotten the chance to relax like this." Yu Rou sighed as they exited their third restaurant.
"Yes, it feels like thousands of years ago…" Yuan muttered with a profound expression on his face.
When he acquired Tian Xian's memories, he essentially had to experience Tian Xian's entire life again, and since it was done recently, it felt like thousands of years had passed for Yuan since he met Yu Rou, hence why he suddenly decided to visit her.
Yu Rou noticed something was a little different about Yuan, but she couldn't pinpoint what exactly and just thought it was because of his burdens.
'He's saving the world without most of the world knowing… he's probably putting on a brave face to not worry me… If only there were something I could do for him…' she sighed inwardly.
