"Very good."
"Heroes are as plentiful as carp crossing a river. Talent and pride alone aren't enough. You need a discerning eye and must know which way the wind blows if you hope to go far."
Old Immortal Yunmei stroked his long white beard, looking quite pleased. Compared to that white-robed scholar who had annihilated himself at the slightest provocation, this youngster was far more agreeable.
"Drop your protective aura and mana barrier, then come before me. Once I've finished asking my questions, I might just spare your life."
"Don't try anything unnecessary. You know my cultivation level. I'd rather not have the life of another promising Daoist talent on my hands."
At Yunmei's demand, the Mysterious Bird High God promptly dispelled her protective aura and mana barrier.
To keep Yunmei from misunderstanding, she moved slowly as well. Five breaths passed, and she had covered only half the ten million li between them.
Watching her unhurried approach, Old Immortal Yunmei instead grew hesitant. She knew that without her protective aura and mana barrier, she would be at the mercy of his Integration cultivation. Why did she look so calm?
Another breath passed, then a second. With the Mysterious Bird High God still three million li away, a warning suddenly flared in Yunmei's heart. Something's wrong!
Realizing what was happening, Yunmei immediately shouted, "Stop there, youngster!"

Before Yunmei had finished speaking, the Mysterious Bird High God became a streak of dark azure light, crossed three million li in an instant, and rushed up to him. Then she detonated herself!
In a flash, overwhelming spiritual power threw the Spiritual Resonance and Origin Energy of heaven and earth into chaos. A blinding blaze of white burst forth, lighting up the world for ten million li.
Boom!
A roar
