The transformation was quite a bit longer than his own, probably because the system was trying its best to eliminate as much of the pain as it could compared to his own transformation. It was a slow and careful process to make sure her body was ready for the new power.
This bastard is clearly biased towards women, but it's okay, Huang Shi thought with a small shrug.
Huang Shi waited for around an hour before the transformation had finally finished. As the purple and gold lights started to disappear, he saw his woman now sitting cross-legged on his bed.
She was slightly floating above it, hovering in the air as a powerful spiritual energy erupted from her body in waves.
When I received my heavenly physique, I rose a total of 4 stages in the Elementary Profound Realm. I wonder how much her cultivation will rise?
He didn't have to wait for long to find the answer. He could subtly feel her cultivation rise through the levels of the Nascent Profound Realm very quickly. It was like watching a flood of power fill a cup.
7th Level Nascent Profound Realm… 8th Level Nascent Profound Realm...
BOOM!
Powerful spiritual energy erupted from her body once again. It was so strong it was almost at the point of causing a miniature typhoon inside of his room. The wind whipped around, pulling at the curtains and blankets. In fact, if it wasn't for the support of the system, it was clear that the entire sect would have found out about this mess by now.
Thank god the system has a hiding function. If not, we would be royally screwed, Huang Shi thought, feeling lucky that they were still hidden.
Huang Shi continued to wait in anticipation. He kept his eyes fixed on her, and the system didn't disappoint. Her cultivation base rose once more with a powerful burst of light.
BOOM!
"The 9th Level of the Nascent Profound Realm… I wonder if she can reach the True Profound Realm?"
Her body was starting to struggle now. It looked as if she was being held back by some sort of thick wall or a bottleneck. Her face scrunched up in a bit of pain, her eyebrows drawing together.
Huang Shi didn't know himself if what she was feeling was truly pain or if she was just struggling hard against the barrier in her way. Either way, he clearly didn't like seeing this kind of look on his woman. He wanted her to be happy and at peace.
Come on, Come on, you can do it Mei'er! he cheered in his head.
After waiting for a bit more time, one last powerful burst of spiritual energy erupted from her body. It filled the entire room with a deep purple glow as she finally broke through the bottleneck of the Nascent Profound Realm.
She had reached the first level of the True Profound Realm.
Not bad! She rose up from the 6th level of the Nascent Profound Realm all the way to the first level of the True Profound Realm. That's four minor levels and one major level!
However, at the moment of her breakthrough, something strange happened to her body. It was like she was being slowly remade from the inside out.
Her hair started to have more shades of purple, glowing softly, and her skin became even more supple and smooth. Her face slowly started to become even more beautiful than before, like she was somehow being cleansed of every tiny flaw.
Hmm? What the heck? It's like some sort of natural makeup? No... it's like the fundamental properties of her body are suddenly being changed to make her look more beautiful?
He looked at her in shock. She looked like a goddess coming to life right in front of him.
What the hell? Is this normal? Or is this just a result of her bloodline?
[Responding to host: every time a cultivator breaks through a major cultivation level, the physical body is slightly improved, strengthening it so it can afford to bear the increased spiritual energy of the body. This improvement also includes the appearance of the cultivator; this means that cultivators who are at an extremely high level of cultivation are typically extremely good-looking.]
Damn, okay. This means that the more powerful cultivators become, the more beautiful and handsome they become as well, literally making them look like divine beings. Pretty interesting.
Huang Shi felt very happy for his woman as she slowly dropped down from her floating position above his bed, sitting cross-legged on his covers as if she was meditating.
He didn't say anything as he just watched her, waiting for her to open her eyes. Before long, she finally did. Her eyes shined with a shade of purple before the color disappeared, turning back into those dark pupils.
I'm pretty sure at a certain point her eyes will turn purple and her hair will turn purple-gold, just like when she initially received her bloodline.
I wonder what change will happen to my appearance when I break through into the Nascent Profound Realm?
Li Mei looked at him for a few seconds before giving him a mesmerizing smile; she looked so beautiful that he was almost hypnotized.
Her skin looked a bit more supple, her lips more red, and her eyes seemed to shine with a slight purple sheen if the light of the sun hit them at a certain angle.
However, it was her hair that had the most obvious change. It was still dark, but it now had shades of purple strands, like gemstones in her hair.
Without waiting for him to react, Li Mei quickly reached out to him, taking him into a deep hug before giving him a kiss. It was primal, obsessive, and full of love, as if she was thanking him for his gift to her.
"Thank you, Shi'er. I love you."
Huang Shi held her close, feeling the new warmth of her skin. He smiled and looked into her eyes.
"I love you too," he said. "How do you feel? Can you feel the changes in your body?"
Li Mei looked at her hands. She opened and closed her fists. Small purple sparks flew from her fingers.
"I feel so strong," she whispered. "It's like I'm an entirely different person."
