497 - The Fourth Layer of the Seal (2)

From the seven layers of the seal only four were remaining, and after unlocking another layer, only three would be left, seeing such hope in sight, how could Shen Yanxiao not get excited?

Anyway, she was already trapped in here for so long, what was the harm in staying here for one more day?

"Well, unlock the seal now." Shen Yanxiao sat back into a cross-legged position on the ground, waiting for the arrival of pain once the seal was unlocked.

However, right after she did, both of her eyes were suddenly covered with darkness and her entire person lost senses.

Xiu, who was inside Shen Yanxiao's heart lake made Shen Yanxiao faint once again.

Each layer of the Seven Star Locking Moon would bring great pain once unlocked. The feeling might not be obvious with the first few layers, but the upper the layer, the stronger the pain was. When the second layer of the seal was unlocked, Shen Yanxiao's endurance reached almost her limit. For the next upper layer, Xiu knocked her unconscious in order to ensure that she didn't do anything to hurt herself in the throes of pain.

In an unconscious state, the pain will no longer torment people.

This fact was not known by Shen Yanxiao.

Shen Yanxiao did not know how long was she asleep. She faintly woke up and her whole body was in an endless pain as if her body was being broken apart. Her brain had also been buzzing. But though she felt unwell, there was actually a feeling of ease within her body.

The dou qi and magic which were wandering inside her body became very active.

Shen Yanxiao stood up and looked down at the wet clatter of her clothes, her mouth slightly twitching.

Alas, it was like this again. When the third layer of her seal had been unlocked last time, she had also fainted, and that was the case this time too.

Looking at her clothes that had been soaked with sweat after waking up, Shen Yanxiao could imagine how horrible the pain she had to endure in her sleep was.

But this painless method of unlocking the seal was truly convenient and saved others from trouble ah!

Moving her muscles and bones, Shen Yanxiao examined the dou qi and magic in her body, both of which were much better than before.

Unfortunately, there was no Martial Firestone or Magical Spirit Stone to test them. She really wanted to see if she was finally able to rush to the Senior level.

After all, she had stayed at the pinnacle of Intermediate level for so many days and the accumulated dou qi and magic had already been discharged, allowing her strength not to soar.

'Ready?' Xiu's voice sounded.

"Ready." With their minds thinking alike, Shen Yanxiao understood that Xiu was referring to breaking the magic array.

'It will hurt a bit.' Xiu warned.

Shen Yanxiao nodded her head. On the last fight against the Phoenix, the emergence of Xiu made her suffer from extreme pain, but now she was prepared.

But the preconceived pain did not appear. Although there was still some pain, it was not as unbearable as the last time.

Soon, Shen Yanxiao felt a strand of air streaming out of her chest, and a faint mist formed a human shape around her, wrapping the little girl within.

It was almost as if Xiu was embracing her in his arms.

The humanoid figure made of mist was suspended in mid-air with Shen Yanxiao.

In the silent palace hall, a succession of great shocks suddenly occurred. The strong pillars of the palace shook. Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and closed her eyes, leaving everything to Xiu.

As the sound of the wind roared, Shen Yanxiao felt a great force pulling herself toward the top.

The strong impact made her to tightly close her eyes. After a while, everything was calm. Shen Yanxiao felt her feet on the ground. She impulsively opened her eyes and her dazzled gaze sprinkled on her body. The white clouds were blossoming in the blue sky.

"I finally came out!"
