After leaving the ancient temple, Ebot and Saraswati did not immediately rush to Jirata City. The two looked at each other tacitly, both understanding that this was a rare opportunity.
"Saraswati," Abbott said softly, "let's find a quiet place."
Saraswati nodded and smiled, "That's exactly what I meant."
The two searched nearby for a while and finally found a hidden valley. There are dense trees here, a clear stream flows through it, and the environment is beautiful and peaceful.
"Let's go here," Abbott said, "Ghost King, you stay outside and keep watch."
The Ghost King nodded respectfully, "Yes, Master."
After the Ghost King left, Ebert took out the gem he obtained in the trial of the underground ruins from his arms. The gem sparkles with mysterious light in the sun, as if containing infinite power.
"Saraswati," Abbott looked at the woman in front of him affectionately, "This gem contains the secret to increasing your core strength. I want to share this power with you."
Saraswati's eyes flashed with emotion, "Ebot, are you really willing to share with me?"
Abbott nodded firmly, "Of course, you are the person I trust the most. Let's become stronger together and face the challenges of the future together."
The two smiled at each other, then sat cross-legged and placed the gem in the middle. Ebert began to guide the energy in the gem, and colorful rays of light flowed out of the gem, entwining around the two of them like silk threads.
As the energy was injected, Ebert felt as if his body was penetrated by countless tiny electric currents. Every cell in his body was cheering, as if welcoming a new life. At the same time, he could feel Saraswati's aura rapidly increasing.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the two were immersed in this wonderful feeling. After an unknown amount of time, the energy in the gem was finally exhausted and turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the air.
Ebert slowly opened his eyes and found that his cultivation had been upgraded from the first level to the second level. He could feel the surging power in his body, as if his whole being had been reborn.
"Saraswati, how do you feel?" Abbott asked with concern.
Saraswati opened her eyes, her face filled with joy. "It's amazing, Ebert! I actually broke through from the eighth level of apprentice to the ninth level of great perfection in one fell swoop! I feel like I'm only one step away from the mentor level!" !"
Abbott said in surprise: "That's great! It seems that the power of this gem is indeed extraordinary."
At this moment, changes suddenly occurred between heaven and earth. The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the whole valley seemed to be plunged into chaos.
"This is..." Ebert looked at the scene in surprise.
Saraswati suddenly stood up, and her body began to emit a dazzling light, "Ebert, I feel it! This is the opportunity for a breakthrough!"
Abbott understood immediately, "Great! Saraswati, seize this opportunity and break through to the mentor level!"
Saraswati closed her eyes and concentrated on this breakthrough. The spiritual energy around her surged like a tide, forming a huge vortex in the air. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be summoned and gathered towards her.
Abbot stood aside, concentrating on protecting Saraswati. He knew that the breakthrough process was full of dangers and that any carelessness could lead to failure.
As time went by, the red light on Saraswati became brighter and brighter. Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard, as if something was broken.
"Success!" Abbott shouted excitedly.
Saraswati slowly opened her eyes, with an unprecedented brilliance shining in them. Her breath became deeper and longer, and her whole body seemed to merge into one with the heaven and earth.
"I...I really made a breakthrough," Saraswati said in disbelief, "Ebert, I became a mentor!"
Abbott went forward and hugged her tightly, "Great, Saraswati! I knew you would succeed!"
The two hugged and cried, their lips met in the collision of suppressed desire, and an emotional storm was released at the moment of breaking out. Their bodies were tightly attached, and their restless hands explored each other. The two souls merged perfectly in Together, their hearts beat, and the rhythmic drumbeats echoed the turmoil of their passion... I don't know how long it took...
When his excitement subsided, Abbott said seriously, "Saraswati, with this breakthrough, we will be more confident when facing that mysterious man."
Saraswati nodded firmly, "Yes, no matter what challenges lie ahead, we will face them together."
The two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with expectations and confidence for the future.
"Well," Abbott said, "it's time to return to Jiluoduo City. I believe everyone is waiting for our good news."
Saraswati nodded in agreement, "Yes, let's go back together."
In this way, Ebott and Saraswati walked out of the valley hand in hand and met the Ghost King who was waiting outside. The two embarked on the journey back to Jiroto City, their hearts full of expectations for the future.
They know that greater challenges are waiting for them ahead. But at this moment, they are more confident than ever. Because not only do they have more powerful power, but more importantly, they have each other.
As the sun sets, two figures gradually disappear on the horizon. This adventure not only made their strength leap forward, but also elevated their souls. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, they will work together to face every challenge together.
And in the city of Jiroto, a bigger storm is brewing. How will Ebert and his companions deal with the threat posed by the mysterious man? All of this will be revealed in the near future.
