Escaping the underground desert

Bai Yun stood up from where he was and observed his body. 

When he saw the bones, Bai Yun smiled. This was because his bones were completely white and did not have the slightest hint of colour. It was impossible to differentiate his bones from that of a mortal. This proved that Bai Yun's approach was correct. Not only that Bai Yun's bones were far tougher than they would be if he was in the jade bone realm.

And his condition had also improved. Most of the energy from the fruits he took was used in the breakthrough of his body, but they did improve his cultivation in the other two paths. He could see a faint shadow of a tenth tendril in his sea of consciousness and a small almost imperceptible crack in his core.
