No Need for Proof

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Ye Bieqing almost wanted to ask, "Don't tell me your dao companion is a Wolf Tooth Club!"

But soon there was no need to ask anymore; he had already heard the man's voice coming from outside the boundary. "Ye Bieqing, don't think that just because I can't enter this realm, I can't do anything to you!"

The first time it came in, it was cautious, perhaps afraid of accidentally hurting Ju Yunxiu. The second time it came in, it seemed to know Ju Yunxiu's location and kept its distance. First, it poked randomly at the sky, but found that it could not reach the real sun and moon, so it moved its stick far away and smashed the mountain peaks and red rocks to pieces.

Ye Bieqing so great that the entire art world was filled with dark clouds and lightning.

Anyone refining pills would have to stop refining if someone kept entering and exiting their Pill Furnace like that; all the effects would be lost. Although his situation was slightly different from refining pills, he clearly couldn't withstand such disturbances. Every time the staff entered and exited, it brought violent bursts of Gang Qi that tore through the air, followed by sharp whistles of souls and various other disturbances. Although the refining process continued, the effect was already far inferior.

He had already closed off the world of painting. Since Ju Yunxiu couldn't leave, outsiders naturally couldn't enter either. What was this Wolf Tooth Club all about? Why did it have the ability to break through boundaries?

What's even more infuriating is that he couldn't refine the stick at all. He didn't know what material it was made of. Even when lightning from a single realm struck the stick, it had no effect. The lightning just leisurely passed through the stick and went in and out of it. He couldn't do anything about it.

A Wolf Tooth Club that can freely pass through the boundary membrane and withstand the full power of a peak- Shining Sun Peak cultivator without any reaction? What is this club made of?

Ju Yunxiu chuckled.

After being tormented by the Wolf Tooth Club, much of her stress dissipated, and although her mind and body were extremely weak, she was in a good mood.

It's already a joy that he even came, and he's so smart, much smarter than her.

Since the Wolf Tooth Club could go in, it could naturally bring Qin Yi in with it. However, Qin Yi's ability to fight was obviously different from Ju Yunxiu's. After seeing the scroll and guessing the general situation, he immediately realized that he could not easily go in, otherwise they might be refined to death together.

Putting oneself into the furnace and causing destruction outside are two completely different things.

Then he stood outside and started causing trouble by going in and out with Wolf Tooth Club.

Does this stick itself have the ability to break boundaries? Perhaps it does, but with the tassels Liusu, this boundary becomes almost non-existent. It's only natural that Huiyang can't break through the stick's material... There's no need to consider such things.

So what if I bully you because I'm a baby?

In reality, Qin Yi appeared dismissive and mocking, but was actually very anxious inside.

Liusu Ru Hua had already told him about Ju Yunxiu's situation; Ju Yunxiu was currently at his At the End of One's Rope and on the verge of collapse. He didn't know how much of an effect Liu Su Ru Hua's interference would have, since the power of the refining process hadn't dissipated yet. What Ju Yunxiu was still refined to death?

Disruptions can only provide temporary relief, at most giving Ju Yunxiu a breather, but they don't address the root cause; she must be rescued.

But it's easy for the Wolf Tooth Club to reach her, but it's impossible for her to climb up and take it away. If Ye Bieqing can't stop the club, can't she stop Ju Yunxiu?

He had originally intended to destroy the painting, but knew he couldn't. Not to mention the protection of Huiyang and the solidity of the realm, his own strength was probably insufficient to destroy it. Just consider Ju Yunxiu inside; what if destroying the painting caused the world to collapse and be reduced to dust?

They didn't even dare to try to destroy the painting.

But he couldn't easily enter the painting himself, so the only way was to lure out Ye Bieqing's soul.

Ju Yunxiu sighed inwardly. She knew Qin Yi's intentions, but she also knew that Ye Bieqing would not be able to get out by simply causing trouble like this.

Ye Bieqing's soul merges with the sun and moon, allowing him to maintain his Shining Sun Peak power within the painting world. If his soul were to truly leave the painting world, he would be significantly weakened, barely managing to retain a few levels of Radiant Yang power. While this might seem sufficient to kill Qin Yi on the surface, for an old monster with a stable State of Mind who has silently waited within the painting for hundreds of years, he wouldn't easily leave his possession to confront unpredictable Law Treasure outside the painting.

Most importantly, once he leaves, Ju Yunxiu will be free from his control and may be able to escape.

Even if the odds of winning are high, there's no need to go out.

As long as she continues to refine silently, Ju Yunxiu will be refined to death sooner or later. When she attains the Dao of Qian Yuan, what does it matter if she turns around and crushes a small cloud-riding ant?

After overcoming his initial shock and anger, Ye Bieqing quickly calmed down. He let the Wolf Tooth Club go in and out without paying any attention, and said calmly, "Either you come in and take Yunxiu away, or if your skills stop here, then you can watch from outside as Yunxiu becomes the soul of this world."

Qin Yi roared, "Are you even a man? I've only just entered the Cloud Ascension Realm, and you, a peak-level expert of the Shining Sun Peak, are hiding in the Painting Realm like a turtle? Don't you think you should come out and crush me with a single finger?"

Ye Bieqing said calmly, "I can wait for hundreds of years within the painting, so why can't I wait for a mere few days?"

"Damn old turtle!"

Ye Bieqing remained unperturbed and silently continued the ritual.

Qin Yi couldn't find a solution for a moment, and Liusu frowned as well. Her soul power was only equivalent to Huiyang. She could move in and out of the painting with the help of the stick, but if she really released her soul power and clashed with Ye Bieqing inside the painting, she would definitely lose.

The situation has reached a stalemate.

Only Ju Yunxiu knew that Qin Yi had something that could break the deadlock.

Since he obtained the Sword Pavilion Maiden Painting, he must possess the fragment his master so desperately desires. He only needs to show the fragment briefly, then turn and leave; his master might actually give chase. Otherwise, even after several days of attaining the Qian Yuan realm, he wouldn't know where the fragment went. Now the fragment is right before his eyes, and he's at the early stage of the Huiyang Nian Teng Yun realm—would he really hide in his shell?

Perhaps we can still hide, but this is the only solution. It all depends on how tempting the fragment is to the master.

It's unclear whether Qin Yi can figure it out. After all, Qin Yi doesn't know his master is plotting against that fragment, so it's normal that he wouldn't think of this. Besides... that fragment must be incredibly valuable; he might not be willing to show it to anyone. He's never told you it even exists, so it's probably one of his deepest secrets...

Ju Yunxiu wouldn't offer any hints, because Ye Bieqing outside of the painting world, and Qin Yi was no match for him. However, after Ye Bieqing left the painting world, the world would be without a master, and Ju Yunxiu might find a chance to escape.

That would be tantamount to making Qin Yi reveal his deepest secret and then die, so that she could escape.

How could she possibly bring up such a thing?

Just as she was thinking this, Qin Yi suddenly spoke up, "Old tortoise, that Sword Pavilion Maiden Painting... do you know the owner of that ancient tomb?"

Ju Yunxiu's heart skipped a beat, and Ye Bieqing stirred as well.

Then Qin Yi continued, "That senior has something in his possession, do you know about it?"

Ye Bieqing finally asked, "Is this thing in your possession?"

"Of course. Otherwise, where did Master Yunxiu get the painting of the woman in her hand? I gave it to her."

I was going to say "Senior Sister" at first, but then I realized I didn't want to acknowledge this old tortoise as my master, so I'll just skip "Senior Sister" and call her Yunxiu.

Ye Bieqing didn't bother to figure out the meaning of this slip of the tongue and immediately said, "The fragment is on you?"

Qin Yi reached out and pulled out a storage box with an extremely strong concealment aura. He opened it briefly on the scroll and then turned to leave.

He had barely taken three steps when a chilling aura suddenly swept over him from behind.

"Leave the fragments!"

Ye Bieqing from the painting.

The fragments were indeed very tempting to him.

Even though the spirit of Huiyang was present in his body, Qin Yi smiled happily instead.

Ju Yunxiu stared blankly at the painting, suddenly recalling the words she had said when she rejected Qin Yi: "Prove that you are willing to pay the price, instead of just wanting to receive."

No matter what trump cards Qin Yi has this time, it's still only the early stage of the Cloud Ascension Realm against the Radiant Sun Realm. Even if you have Radiant Sun Realm helpers hiding around you, even if you're covered in Radiant Sun Realm treasures, you yourself are still extremely fragile and will die the moment you touch them, putting you in an extremely dangerous situation.

Even if Qin Yi could easily defeat Ye Bieqing, he would have exposed the huge secret of possessing the fragment. As long as Ye Bieqing was alive, his troubles would be endless.

He didn't care at all, and was as happy as a flower.

That doesn't need further proof.
