The Intergold Tiger was indeed a prehistoric divine beast. It had finally proven itself in speed.
The Demon Geospiza was completely smoked.
Ji Fanxin put away the Heavenly Flute, and the sound of the flute stopped.
Bai Qing’er used her fingers to draw the inscriptions of arrays. In an instant, she set up a Cloaking Array that could conceal their aura.
Zhang Ruochen checked his surroundings, but unfortunately, his vision and
spiritual power were blocked. He could find nothing. “How long have you been in this megalithic building? Do you know how massive the space is inside?”
Ji Fanxin released her spiritual power to lock onto Bai Qing’er and shook her head gently. “It was the Heavenly Flute that brought me here. Unfortunately, after entering the megalithic building, I encountered that terrifying monster. I ran for my life. If it wasn’t for protecting the Heavenly Flute, you probably wouldn’t have been able to see me.”
Bai Qing’er laughed with disdain.
Ji Fanxin was self-composed, but she wasn’t without emotion. She was hostile toward this girl who had used her name to kill in the Infernal Court. “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at everything. It’s funny.” Bai Qing’er said. “For one, the incorruptible Fairy of a Hundred Flowers from the Qianrui Realm traveled hundreds of millions of miles to meet Zhang Ruochen, the Yuanhui level traitor, in the Infernal Court. If this were to be reported to the Celestial Court, the so-called Fairy of a Hundred Flowers would lose your reputation and be disgraced. I’m afraid that the name Fairy of a Hundred Flowers would be changed to Fairy of a Hundred Tainted Flowers.”
“Bai Qing’er, are you trying to pick a fight?” Zhang Ruochen was not too happy.
Bai Qing’er looked sideways at him. “I’m just stating a fact. Didn’t she come to the Infernal Court because of you?”
Zhang Ruochen knew that Bai Qing’er was eloquent, and it was hard to argue with her. It seemed unnecessary to explain to her.
Ji Fanxin stood up gracefully, surrounded by wisps of flawless Light of Origin. “I’ve never thought of myself as a fairy or incorruptible. If I do whatever the world thinks of me, I will be a true hypocrite, and it is further and further away from my heart.”
Zhang Ruochen was secretly impressed. He had not expected the gentle airy of a Hundred Flowers to have such a sharp tongue.
Bai Qing’er could not find a word to respond. She clapped her hands and said, “What a true heart. What a true self. Unfortunately, you’re still laughable. You clearly have the spiritual power and cultivation right below divinity. You also have a divine artifact, but are being chased by a pseudo-god Demon Geospiza.
If I had a divine artifact, I wouldn’t have ended up like you.”
Zhang Ruochen could vaguely guess why Bai Qing’er suddenly targeted Ji Fanxin; she was probably after the divine artifact.
It was very difficult to seize a divine artifact that had already acknowledged its master.
But the vessel spirit of the Heavenly Flute had just recognized Ji Fanxin as its master, so it might not be very loyal. So he wondered if the vessel spirit would choose Bai Qing’er if she told the vessel spirit she was stronger than Ji Fanxin and also the Master of Origin.
He took a step forward and said, “Why don’t you fight with the fairy now and see who is better?”
“My injuries are serious, so I can’t fight for the time being. When my injuries are healed—”
“In that case, you’d better shut up!” said Zhang Ruochen.
Bai Qing’er’s face darkened.
Ji Fanxin said, “You are injured, so I won’t bully you. My Path and state of mind are indeed not perfect, and I can’t beat you at your peak. But what you said before was undoubtedly a declaration of war. I’m telling you seriously now; I accept your challenge. Let’s set the time in a thousand years. You can decide the venue.”
Bai Qing’er stared at Ji Fanxin with a look of great interest in her eyes.
Zhang Ruochen had seen that kind of light on her before. It only appeared when she looked at the Omnivore Orchid that she raised.
“Good! I didn’t expect the Celestial Court to have such a bold and charismatic cultivator like you. I agree to your date of a millennium.” Bai Qing’er let out a charming smile that could seduce the soul of any man in the world.
Zhang Ruochen was immune because his eyes were all on Ji Fanxin.
Perhaps his soul had been lured away by the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers.
He could not help it. He had never seen Ji Fanxin so charming. Compared to before, she had more toughness in her gentleness and more heroism in her beauty.
Without a doubt, her state of mind and will had improved compared to when he had first met her in the Celestial Domain of Truth.
Bai Qing’er would definitely become a god in a thousand years.
Ji Fanxin might also attain divinity. Perhaps only the Mandala Goddess knew the true strength of the ancient Lotus of Divine Reflection.
Zhang Ruochen could not help but look forward to the battle between the two beauties in a thousand years. Once this battle was publicized, it would surely attract countless cultivators to watch.
Bai Qing’er was the daughter of Huang Tian. She possessed the bloodline of the Stone Clan. Her body was like the essence of immortal jade, her skin so delicate that no woman could compare to her. Moreover, it emitted an eternal, sparkling white light.
She said, “Zhang Ruochen, although you are called a great traitor of the
Yuanhui level by the Celestial Court cultivators and despised by the Infernal Court cultivators, I have spent some time with you, and I have a high opinion of you.”
“Why are you saying this?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
Bai Qing’er said, “I just want to ask you; does what you have promised still count?”
“If I really promise, of course it counts,” said Zhang Ruochen.
“Then, what about the promise you made with your mother’s reputation?”
Zhang Ruochen got what she meant and said, “Do you want me to fulfill this promise now?”
Back then, for the sake of the Tensho Compass, Zhang Ruochen swore on the Blood Empress’s reputation that he would do something for her.
And Zhang Ruochen did not forget this.
Bai Qing’er nodded. “I want your blood.”
He smiled. “Is my promise so insignificant? How could you use it so easily?”
In Zhang Ruochen’s view, losing some blood to fulfill his previous oath was indeed a small price to pay.
After all, what he got in return was the Tensho Compass, a divine artifact.
Bai Qing’er was very serious. “I must attain divinity as soon as possible. Only in this way can I take care of the Demon Geospiza and Wuma Jiuxing who may catch up at any time. You don’t want to die, do you?”
“I can give you the Spring of Life,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Bai Qing’er shook her head. “I have my Recovery Elixirs and the Spring of Life. But if I’m injured by a true God, I won’t be able to recover for decades or even centuries. Only a divine object like the Pale Blood Soil can help me recover quickly.”
Ji Fanxin said, “No. Once she recovers and attains divinity, we will all die at her hands.”
Bai Qing’er said, “I have promised you I won’t do anything to you before the battle in a thousand years.”
“What about Zhang Ruochen?” asked Ji Fanxin.
Bai Qing’er snorted arrogantly. “Before I attain divinity, I will have many chances to kill him, but I won’t. After attaining divinity, he will be just a speck of dust in the mortal world, and there is no point in killing him.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “No, there is. I will fulfill my promise. You are such a proud girl. Won’t you have a hard feeling when you have lost the bet with me? If you don’t want to marry me, but want to erase the hard feeling inside you, the only way is to kill me.”
Bai Qing’er stared at Zhang Ruochen for a long time, her expression becoming colder.
The battle with Xue Lingxian, Yuan Qianmo, and Guye Jing did not make her break through the barriers and suppress the gods. But it was Wuma Jiuxing’s hand that woke her up. She did not dare to underestimate the talents in the world anymore. She no longer thought she was smart and could play all the cultivators in her hands.
She was less conceited, and her frame of mind had improved. She had successfully broken through the barrier.
She did not know if losing the bet would make her perfect frame of mind vulnerable. So she did have the thought of killing Zhang Ruochen.
There was a long silence.
Just then, a young and tender voice sounded. “Actually, there is another way to deal with the Demon Geospiza.” The voice came from the Heavenly Flute.
Ji Fanxin quickly asked, “What way?
The Heavenly Flute’s vessel spirit sounded like a little girl. “Master, I brought you here to take the Canon of Origin and the other divine artifacts.”
Zhang Ruochen and Bai Qing’er were both tempted.
Bai Qing’er immediately took out the Divine Crystal of Origin and felt it carefully.
The vessel spirit continued. “Although I am no match for the Demon Geospiza, the vessel spirits of those divine artifacts are powerful and can deal with it.”
“There are so many divine artifacts here?”
Zhang Ruochen was not too surprised. After all, this was the Fane of Origin, and there used to be an extremely powerful civilization here.
The vessel spirit said, “Unfortunately, they are imprisoned by the Blood Moon and cannot leave this altar. Master’s attainment in Swordsmanship is high and they may approve of you.”
Hearing this, Ji Fanxin felt a little ashamed. Her attainment in Swordsmanship was far inferior to Zhang Ruochen’s. Besides, there was also Bai Qing’er, who claimed to be invincible just below divinity.
Zhang Ruochen had the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon, which a dragon lord loaned to him, so it was not difficult for him to deal with the Demon Geospiza.
But, the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon could only unleash one attack. If it was used on the Demon Geospiza, he could no longer use it to deal with Wuma Jiuxing.
The only way now seemed to be to go to the place mentioned by the Heavenly Flute.
As for Bai Qing’er, she did not deny Zhang Ruochen’s deduction just now. It meant that she really wanted to kill him. Under such circumstances, Zhang Ruochen would not dare to give her the blood. So he would only allow her to exchange one thing that he promised her. For example, sparing her life.
He told Bai Qing’er this suggestion, but she rolled her eyes, claiming she was seriously injured, but she could still easily perish together with them.
The faint cry of the Demon Geospiza sounded in the darkness again.
They wasted no time on setting off on their journey..
