The Great Desolation's Great Power's Watershed

Chapter 37: The Watershed of the Great Desolation's Mighty Figures

Seeing Shen Gui looking like he had something to say but couldn't, Golden Phoenix couldn't help but frown deeper.

However, just as she was about to say something, Qing Luan spoke first.

"Sister Jin, let's discuss these matters after Empress returns."

The implication was that she shouldn't pry further.

Golden Phoenix glanced at Qing Luan, not understanding why Qing Luan suddenly spoke up for Shen Gui. However, since Qing Luan had spoken, she didn't say anything more.

Although she didn't understand why Qing Luan was speaking for Shen Gui, there was one thing she was very clear about: even if she didn't ask anything now, once Nuwa returned, everything would naturally become clear.

Whether Shen Gui had cultivated some evil art or anything else, she didn't believe he could hide it from Nuwa.

Although she also knew that their Empress was sometimes unreliable, regardless, Nuwa was still one of the most powerful beings in this world.

Especially after Hongjun's second lecture.

It could be said that Hongjun's lecture was the watershed that separated the top tier of Great Desolation's mighty figures from the common ones.

If, before Hongjun's lecture, no matter how strong you were, you could at most reach the peak of Grand Unity.

So, as fellow Grand Unity Golden Immortals, even as peak Grand Unity Golden Immortals, how much more could you possibly separate yourselves?

But, after Hongjun's lecture, everything changed.

Hongjun's lecture was equivalent to opening a brand new door for all beings in the Great Desolation, revealing the realm beyond Grand Unity to them.

However, Hongjun told you about the realm beyond Grand Unity, but whether you could reach it depended on yourself.

But, Quasi-Saint, no matter how you put it, had the word "Saint" in it, so how could it be easy to break through?

At this point, the gap became apparent.

For the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, and even Di Jun, Tai Yi, Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, Kunpeng, Ming He, and others, they already had the foundation to break through to Quasi-Saint. Therefore, after Hongjun opened this door for all beings in the Great Desolation, their breakthrough was only a matter of time.

However, for other mighty figures in the Great Desolation, the bottleneck between Quasi-Saint and Grand Unity was an insurmountable chasm.

Those who were lucky might encounter some fortuitous encounter at some point and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Those who were unlucky might not be able to break through even until their demise.

In this way, the gap between Grand Unity Golden Immortals was not very large, but the gap between Quasi-Saints and Grand Unity suddenly widened.

And Nuwa, who had returned after Hongjun's second lecture, was now a genuine Quasi-Saint mighty figure.

Therefore, Golden Phoenix didn't think Shen Gui could hide anything from Nuwa.

Since that was the case, she didn't need to disrespect Qing Luan.

"Alright then, since Sister Qing'er says so, I won't interfere with his matters. We'll talk about it when Empress returns. I just came back from outside and I'm a bit tired, so I'll go back and rest first. I won't disturb you."

However, seeing Golden Phoenix about to leave, Qing Luan grabbed her: "Sister Jin, don't go. What is there to talk about with this little turtle? Besides, it's been so long since we last met, I miss you so much. Stay and keep me company, and also help me watch this guy, lest he slips away before Empress returns."

Hearing Qing Luan say this, Shen Gui couldn't help but curl his lips.

Nothing to talk about with me?

You didn't say that when you were lecturing me earlier.

However, Shen Gui only thought these words in his heart.

Although Qing Luan was a bit long-winded, he could feel the concern in her words.

At least, as she said herself, since Shen Gui had now joined Nuwa's subordinate, she treated Shen Gui as one of their own. That's why she was worried if Shen Gui had cultivated evil arts and wanted Nuwa to check for any hidden dangers.

So, even though Qing Luan was a bit long-winded, Shen Gui would at most grumble, but he wouldn't be dissatisfied because of it.

Yawning slightly, Shen Gui picked up a Spirit Fruit from the table in front of him and started eating it.

Qing Luan, who was whispering something to Golden Phoenix, caught sight of this. While Golden Phoenix wasn't paying attention, she secretly transmitted a message to Shen Gui: "Hey, little turtle, I helped you fool Sister Jin, and you're not even thanking me, but you're eating by yourself now? Hurry up and help me pick some fruits from the orchard!"

Shen Gui raised an eyebrow and looked at Qing Luan, just in time to see Qing Luan winking at him while Golden Phoenix wasn't looking.

Instantly, Shen Gui's forehead was covered in black lines.

Little turtle?

Can you please use a more normal name?

And, sister?

If Nuwa said this, it would be fine, but you, a little girl, want me to call you sister?

Steel-hearted, Shen Gui turned his head away and continued eating, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

Seeing this, Qing Luan couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Ungrateful wretch, I shouldn't have covered for you with Sister Jin if I had known.

However, before Qing Luan could do anything else, Golden Phoenix had already looked at her: "Sister Qing'er, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, nothing, I was just a bit sleepy and spaced out. Sister Jin, where were we? Continue!"

Watching Qing Luan flusteredly dealing with Golden Phoenix, Shen Gui couldn't help but find it amusing.

And Shen Gui's smile, when it fell into Qing Luan's eyes, made her find him even more detestable.
