Chapter 1807: Dance Offering to the Universe
After some hesitation, in the end, Mi Li didnât say anything to Zu An. He still wasnât strong enough, and knowing more would only do more harm than good.
Meanwhile, Qiu Honglei saw the things Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman had obtained. Even though she didnât understand what exactly the Pure World Ice Lotus or Paramita Butterfly were, they were clearly quite extraordinary. She couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. They were around the same strength, and perhaps she was even a bit stronger herself, but now that they had obtained those inheritances, was she going to fall behind?
Previously, after ending up in this secret dungeon, she had discovered that all of the others had gone missing and only she and Ah Zu were together. Sheâd believed that she had finally become the female protagonist. And yet, soon after, they had run into the beautiful Jing Teng. Even though Jing Teng had always claimed that it was nothing, the flirtatious looks she kept giving Ah Zu meant something had clearly happened without Qiu Hongleiâs knowledge.
Even disregarding Jing Teng, sheâd had to watch as Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman ravaged her man right in front of her⦠Now, she could do nothing as they obtained inheritances that were clearly incredible from the mere sound of them.
I admit, Iâm enviousâ¦
However, she was the Devil Sect Saintess and had her own pride. She quickly collected her thoughts.
Hmph, my Devil Sectâs inheritance has existed for thousands and thousands of years; how can it be inferior to them? I refuse to believe that Iâm inferior to them!
Her eyes burned fiercely when she realized that, and she was no longer as dispirited as earlier.
â¦
Just then, Jing Teng said to Immortal Ruler Baopu, âImmortal ruler, part of the reason why I was able to safely return was also Miss Qiuâs great help.â
Qiu Honglei was stunned. She had never expected Jing Teng to speak up for her! After all, the two of them had constantly been bickering back and forth on the way like a wife against a mistress. And yet now, Jing Teng was actually helping her.
In that instant, she felt a bit embarrassed and said, âLittle sister Jing speaks too courteously. I didnât do too much.â
Even though sheâs older, thereâs no way in hell Iâll acknowledge her as the big sister! Everything else can still be discussed, but not this.
Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman perked up their ears. These two were already calling each other sisters?
This is bad. Weâll now have another competitor in the future.
â¦
In the distance, Zhao Han frowned. Something didnât seem to be right here. As an emperor, he naturally had his harem back in the palace. Those women were always at each otherâs throats. Even though they looked amiable on the surface, their smiles all hid blades. Why were Zu Anâs women all getting along so well? They even took the initiative to help each other out!
What right does he have to deserve this?!
You have successfully trolled Zhao Han for +666 +666 +666â¦
Zu An was really confused right now. What is going on with Zhao Han? Could it be that heâs jealous that everyone else is getting something but him?
Immortal Ruler Baopu looked at Jing Teng with a kind expression, saying, âYou are surprisingly kind. But itâs fine; I just happen to have something that shares fate with her.â
He took out a talisman, and with a tap of his finger, it turned into a female figure that danced lightly and gracefully in the air. It was very slow at first, but it soon moved faster and faster. The beautiful figureâs movements were simple, and yet the dance seemed extremely profound. There wasnât the slightest sense of worldly seduction to it; instead, it had a dignified and solemn air. The figure entered Qiu Hongleiâs forehead.
Immortal Ruler Baopu said, âMany people cannot understand why rites and music are among the seven skills of cultivation, and the leaders of the seven skills, no less. What does this lady think?â
Qiu Honglei only felt as if she had been filled with inspiration. She quickly replied, âThat is because rites and music are the ceremonies used to join heaven and earth!â
Immortal Ruler Baopu nodded in appreciation and said, âAs expected, you were the one it was destined for. If you cultivate that dance properly, as your cultivation rises higher and your insights regarding the art of dance grow more profound, it will unravel into information of a higher rank. I hope that one day, you can learn the entire sequence of this Dance Offering to the Universe.â
âThank you, immortal ruler!â Qiu Honglei exclaimed, unable to contain her joy.
As the Devil Sectâs Saintess, as well as an undercover courtesan queen, she excelled in dance to begin with. This Dance Offering to the Universe seemed as if it had been made just for her! Even though she still didnât know what it was for, she could already sense some things. She now just had to gain more insights on her own.
Immortal Ruler Baopu smiled. Then, he gave Zu An a long look, but didnât say anything. Instead, he then looked at Jing Teng and said, âLittle Teng, my time is almost up.â
Jing Teng exclaimed in shock, âYouâre going to leave?â
Immortal Ruler Baopu replied, âThis is nothing more than a strand of leftover will. I already used up all of my power earlier, so I must naturally scatter away.â
Jing Tengâs eyes turned red as she said, âYouâre going to be leaving me all by myselfâ¦â
Immortal Ruler Baopu shook his head and replied, âNo, you are now different from before. You will no longer be lonely.â
Jing Tengâs face became slightly red. She lowered her head, and was too embarrassed to look at anyone.
âYou have lived this life alone; it is good that you now have friends. I hopeâ¦â Immortal Ruler Baopu trailed off with a sigh. Then, he gradually scattered into specks of light, which gradually converged into a book. Its title was on the surface, written in large text: Baopu Sutra.
Jing Teng was about to reach out to take it when a large golden hand suddenly flashed past and seized the Baopu Sutra.
âHahaha! This emperor has finally obtained the immortal opportunity!â Zhao Han exclaimed, seeming almost as if he had gone mad. He roared with laughter, and with another step, he instantly disappeared from the tomb room.
He had actually wanted to use the chance to kill Zu An and the others, but this was Immortal Ruler Baopuâs tomb and Jing Tengâs relationship with the immortal ruler was good, so committing murder inside could cause unwanted variables. Besides, he could sense that there were several powerful auras rushing in this direction. Every single one was on par with him, so it was more advantageous for him to leave first after getting what he wanted. He could kill Zu An, that wretched tramp, later.
Everything just happened too quickly. Zu Anâs group wanted to stop Zhao Han, but they couldn't react in time at all. He had already disappeared without a trace.
âOh no! That Baopu Sutra has entered Zhao Hanâs hands and he wonât have to worry about heaven and man deterioration anymore. Ah Zu will be in dangerâ¦â Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman said worriedly. The happiness they had felt from what they received immediately disappeared.
As Zu Anâs lovers, they naturally knew about Zu An and Zhao Hanâs grudge. There was no way the two could coexist. They had been hoping that Zhao Han would just die from old age, but now that he had obtained the Baopu Sutra, his life could clearly be prolonged. Perhaps he would even have a chance of immortal ascension! Zhao Han had already been without equal before. If he took another step forward, how could they possibly fight back?
Qiu Honglei was also full of worry.
No wonder we couldn't find the immortal opportunity no matter what we did. So it turns out the remains were none other than the Baopu Sutra, and a soul fragment was attached to it.
Even a portion of Zhao Hanâs soul was destroyed by Ah Zu, so he definitely hates Zu An bitterly.
However, this immortal ruler really is something! Why didnât he just get rid of Zhao Han immediately? Also, the way he passed on the sutra was too negligent. Sure enough, Zhao Han stole itâ¦
Zu An was surprisingly calm as he looked at Jing Teng with a smile.
Jing Tengâs face reddened. After some hesitation, she began, âActuallyâ¦â However, she suddenly sensed something and held her tongue.
Right at that moment, several figures flew in. The one at the forefront said in surprise, âA moment ago, my mighty self sensed an immortalâs aura. This is the place; there is no mistake. Why did it suddenly disappear?â
The whole group followed the source of the voice. They saw a disheveled daoist floating in midair. He was dressed in an apricot yellow robe inscribed with divinatory patterns. There was something of a majestic air about the patterns, too. An imposing pressure naturally emanated from that person; everyone present was a strong cultivator with powerful senses, so they immediately sensed that this personâs cultivation actually wasnât inferior to Zhao Hanâs in the slightest.
âBig brother Zu!â a shocked and happy voice cried. A gentle and quiet young lady looked at Zu An with pleasant surprise. Her beautiful eyes were as beautiful as Jiangnanâs waterways.
Behind her was a woman dressed in gold and black embroidered robes, her long hair draped naturally behind her. However, as she stood with her hands behind her, she gave off a mysterious sense of dignity.
âMiss Xie!â
âYun⦠Sect master!â
Zu An was also pleasantly surprised. He had been worried about them the whole time, and hadnât expected to reunite here.
At first, Xie Daoyun had a big smile on her face and only saw Zu An, but a moment later, she saw all the beauties standing around him; some she recognized, and others she didnât.
No wonder heâs not calling me little sister Lingâer; his other lovers are hereâ¦
You have successfully trolled Xie Daoyun for +55 +55 +55â¦
A dangerous glint flickered through Yun Jianyueâs eyes.
This brat used to call me big sis so sweetly, and yet now, itâs Sect Master Yun? Is it just because the other women are here?
Even though she knew she would actually be the one panicking if he did call her big sis Yun, she still couldn't help but get angry.
You have successfully trolled Yun Jianyue +250 +250 +250â¦
Why is she suddenly getting angry? Zu An thought in confusion. Just then, however, he suddenly sensed the women exchanging looks with each other. There almost seemed to be dangerous sparks flickering in the air. He shuddered.
