Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Chapter 1339 Absorbing the Essence of Wine, Beginning the Breakthrough

Meng Qinghong gave him a cold glance, ignored him, and continued speaking to Jiang Han:

"These are just some of my humble opinions. If you feel confident, you can certainly give it a try. However, you must be careful during the process. If you feel something is wrong, stop immediately. Do not force yourself to avoid getting injured."

Jiang Han knew that his senior brother was concerned about him, and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, senior brother, I know what I'm doing."

Over such a long period of time, his realm had long been stable, and his own laws had long been perfected. There was no question of forcibly breaking through. Now, with the help of this immortal wine's energy, he was very confident of successfully breaking through.

At this moment, Gu Chenyin, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, now that this matter is settled, I will not linger any longer and will take my leave."

After saying that, he looked at the other two: "Fellow Daoist Yun, Fellow Daoist Meng, would you like to leave with me?"

These two are so clueless. Jiang Han has already said he's preparing to break through, but they keep talking on and on, and he has to remind them.

What's wrong with you? You've gotten a treasure and you don't know who you are anymore?

The two of them immediately understood after being swept over by his gaze. Yun Fengzhu chuckled awkwardly and said:

"Yes, yes, it's time to go... Oh, right, this is my communication jade slip. Please accept it, Fellow Daoist Jiang. You can contact me anytime if you need anything."

He took out a white jade slip and handed it to Jiang Han, who accepted it.

Gu Chenyin also realized what was happening and took out her own jade slip, handing it over: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is mine, please accept it as well."

He was still a little unaccustomed to the movements. In the past, it was always others who handed him jade slips, and whether or not he accepted them depended on his mood.

This was the first time he had ever given away his communication jade slip to someone, and he was still worried about whether the other party would accept it.

Jiang Han did not refuse and took it, saying, "Thank you both, I will accept it."

Gu Chenyin's expression relaxed, and she and Yun Fengzhu bowed to say goodbye once again.

Meng Qinghong nodded and left, then transmitted his voice as he turned around: "I'm keeping an eye on the two of them. Do whatever you want."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Jiang Han bowed and took his leave.

After the three left the valley, they looked around and discussed for a while but couldn't agree on where to go. In the end, Yun Fengzhu impatiently chose a direction and left, and the others reluctantly followed.

The three walked away along the path, their movements slow, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Han stood outside the pavilion for a moment, then turned around and went back inside.

If there is any quiet place where one can be undisturbed, then this pavilion, protected by the immortals, is naturally the safest place.

He is the only one who can move freely here, and without a pass, no one else can disturb him.

Jiang Han walked to the table and stood there. He stared at the empty tabletop for a moment, thinking that he might as well just sit down and meditate on the table, but then he felt that would be too unrefined.

He rubbed his temples, forcibly suppressing this inexplicable thought, and sat down on the stone bench on the east side, taking out the wine pot to examine it.

"This aura of immortal wine is, after all, an aura born from immortal wine. Even though it is so thin, it is not something that a Nascent Soul cultivator can easily absorb."

Jiang Han exhaled softly, raised his finger and gently touched the mouth of the pot, channeling a strand of immortal wine energy thinner than a hair, and carefully placed it to his lips for a gentle inhale.

The aroma of alcohol trembled slightly, with about 10% of the aroma breaking off at the tip and then entering the mouth.

The aroma of the wine exploded upon entering the mouth. Although it was only a tiny wisp, it burst forth in the mouth with an extremely rich and fragrant aroma. The aroma traveled straight into the dantian (lower abdomen) and spread throughout the entire body in an instant.

The surging thunderous energy within his body quickly became active, its circulation speed suddenly increasing several times, as if it were about to burst his body.

Even the Yin-Yang fish, which was floating in the sea of ​​consciousness, seemed to sense something. It trembled and began to slowly rotate. Its speed increased, and it eventually became almost a blur. It also emitted a suction force, frantically devouring the alcohol fumes.

At the same time, the sword heart that had been submerged for a long time on the lake of the heart also trembled slightly, spreading ripples to stabilize the meridians of the whole body, while also beginning to absorb the wine aroma.

The blue lotus also began to sway its leaves, and as it moved, a phantom of a blue lotus appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness, vying for the immortal wine's essence with the yin-yang fish.

In an instant, Jiang Han's body became incredibly lively, with various colored ripples of energy swirling within him, each employing its own methods to devour that wisp of immortal wine energy.

At the same time, his primordial spirit was not to be outdone, and mobilized his will to participate in the struggle.

This was, after all, his own body. As soon as his primordial spirit made its move, the ripples from the other three parties were immediately suppressed.

In an instant, the wisp of immortal wine energy was divided into four parts. The primordial spirit alone occupied seventy percent, while the other three parts each occupied one tenth. They stopped fighting over each other and began to quietly devour each other.

……

The winds and clouds surged, and the once peaceful valley became turbulent. Thick bolts of lightning surged from the void, twisting and crackling as they struck into the small pavilion, where they were all absorbed by the figure inside.

As the lightning intensified, the entire valley was almost submerged. Strangely, the protective formation seemed to have lost its effectiveness, failing to stop the lightning in the slightest and allowing it to flash and strike continuously.

Several days later, the lightning began to weaken and its quantity began to decrease, but soon, as Jiang Han took out another wisp of immortal wine energy, the lightning surged violently again.

Another month or so passed. Then, a huge thunderclap shook the heavens and the earth, and a massive black cloud of tribulation suddenly appeared above the valley, pressing down on the valley below.

As the tribulation clouds descended, they rapidly expanded and grew larger, but just as their size exceeded the valley by an inch, a pressure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, quickly compressing and solidifying the tribulation clouds.

In an instant, the tribulation clouds continued to expand and spread, and were constantly squeezed by pressure. Suddenly, a series of deafening and violent thunderclaps erupted from the clouds, causing the earth below to tremble continuously.

A quarter of an hour later, the tribulation clouds seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate and stopped expanding. The entire cloud was pitch black, not a ray of light could be seen, and the whole valley was shrouded in darkness, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
