Bai Qiuran Danced with Joy

Bai Qiuran initially thought the fine strands of True Qi within his body were impurities that had invaded his Purple Mansion, since the Power of Time manipulated by the Heavenly Dao was indiscriminately pressuring his entire existence from both inside and outside his body.

But after scanning with his Spiritual Sense, Bai Qiuran discovered that those golden threads were none other than the True Qi within his body, slowly condensing into tiny bits of True Essence under the immense pressure of the Time Rules driven by the Heavenly Dao.

Even under this pressure, the rate at which True Essence was generated within Bai Qiuran's body was as slow as squeezing toothpaste, but ultimately, True Essence was still slowly being generated from the Qi Sea.

Overjoyed, Bai Qiuran simply gave up resisting, spreading his arms and legs out to let the Heavenly Dao manipulate wave after wave of Time Waves to crash down on him.

The pressure from the giant waves grew stronger with each passing wave, and even beads of blood appeared on Bai Qiuran's body. However, under the effect of the fully-mastered Fortune Body Forging Technique, these insignificant wounds healed in an instant.

Moreover, after healing, the Fortune Body Forging Technique he had mastered continued to operate on its own, making his body even more resilient. After several waves of giant waves, the pressure could no longer cause him any harm.

Moreover, as the number of True Essence threads in his body increased, Bai Qiuran's aura also rose rapidly at a visible speed.

However, after several more rounds of attacks, for some unknown reason, the Heavenly Dao suddenly retreated. The semi-transparent, distorted object quickly disappeared, and the surrounding scenery gathered like dust, obscuring the River of Time beneath Bai Qiuran and Wisdom Immortal's feet.

Why did you leave?

Bai Qiuran pouted in disappointment, then gathered a wisp of True Essence within her body, freeing Wisdom Immortal from the state of being imprisoned by time.

The difference between this wisp of True Essence and his True Qi is like the difference between True Essence and True Qi in the body of an ordinary Cultivators —it's a qualitative difference. Bai Qiuran simply channeled his True Essence into his palm and gently touched Wisdom Immortal, and the Space-Time Turbulence that Restraint him was easily shattered.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Wisdom Immortal's mind was still stuck on the moment the Heavenly Dao appeared. After being released from his confinement, he was stunned for a moment, but then quickly came to his senses.

"Old Bai, did you drive away the Heavenly Dao?"

"I didn't argue with him. He messed with me for ages, then just ran away."

Bai Qiuran sighed.

"Um?"

Wisdom Immortal asked in confusion, "Why do you sound so disappointed? Did you really want it to stay with you?"

Bai Qiuran briefly explained the situation to Wisdom Immortal. After listening, Wisdom Immortal exclaimed in surprise, "What? Heaven's Envy actually cultivates True Essence in this way... But, thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Heaven's Envy Purple Mansion has no limit; it can only seek pressure from the outside world. It's a pity, Old Bai, you've cultivated to too high a level. If you were ten or twenty thousand levels lower, perhaps spatial pressure could help you Foundation Establishment. But now, spatial attacks have no effect on you, right?"

"I hate it so much."

Bai Qiuran regretted it.

"There's no point in saying all this now. Let's think about how to get back later."

Wisdom Immortal looked around.

"What era are we in now?"

God knows.

Bai Qiuran peeked out and saw a group of Immortals fighting a giant Great Demon next to him.

"Anyway, it must be from a very, very long time ago."

"I wonder what era the Eastern Emperor Bell will transport us to..."

Wisdom Immortal thought for a moment, then sighed, "Fortunately, you already have True Essence within you, which is a glimmer of hope. With your True Qi, even that tiny bit of True Essence is comparable to the total True Essence of a powerful Cultivators. If you can discover clues about the Time Rules from the Heavenly Gods Runes Structure we recorded, then we might still have hope of returning to our original era."

"Um."

Bai Qiuran thought about this fact, her initial joy at possessing a trace of True Essence subsided.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, showing the two the Vast Sea of time at an extremely fast pace. After an unknown amount of time, the speed at which the scenery changed finally slowed down.

A repulsive force pushed the two out of the river of time, landing them on a lush, wooded hillside.

"It seems the Eastern Emperor Bell's Power has finally been exhausted."

Wisdom Immortal said, "What bad luck! We don't even know where we've been thrown."

Bai Qiuran took a deep breath, then exclaimed in surprise, "The Spirit Qi here is so rich! The amount of Spirit Qi in the Heaven and Earth is at least ten times that of our time..."

He carried Wisdom Immortal's head, found a tall boulder nearby, climbed up it, and then saw the magnificent sight before him.

A vast primeval forest stretched to the edge of the earth. Within the forest, towering peaks could be seen everywhere, like Divine Sword piercing the sky. Materialized Spirit Qi enveloped these peaks and the forest, forming colorful, misty clouds. On the sacred peaks, clear streams formed Milky Way, cascading down from the heavens.

Bai Qiuran even saw the materialized Emperor's Nectar, which transformed into a mountain spring flowing down from a certain mountain peak, forming a clear stream on the ground.

This is the Moonlight Essence, a blessing from the Stars.

As the two were enjoying the beautiful scenery before them, suddenly countless birds in the forest cried out and took flight.

A roar came from afar, and a giant tiger with Wings on its back and a body hundreds of meters long flew in, circling in the sky.

The aura emanating from this giant tiger was extremely powerful, almost equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivators in later Body Integration Stage. What was even more astonishing was that it circled in mid-air a few times before suddenly landing on the ground, crawling between the mountains as if it were hiding from something.

The next moment, a white rainbow suddenly pierced the sky, the giant tiger let out a mournful howl, and fell sideways to the ground. A huge arrow appeared on its side, almost completely embedded in its body.

Blood stained its fur. The giant tiger thrashed about helplessly, trying to escape, but the arrow seemed to have pierced its vital organs. A few seconds later, the tiger's head lolled to the side, and it died.

Then, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the clouds in the sky, and a deity who was about a thousand feet tall, with the upper body of a strong man and the lower Deity of a giant dragon, descended from the sky, swinging his dragon tail. When his huge body landed on the ground, the whole earth trembled slightly.

He also held a Giant Bow in his hand, which was commensurate with his size, and had a quiver at his waist filled with countless huge arrows.

He strode heavily to the giant tiger's side, laughed, pulled the arrow out of the tiger's body, wiped away the blood, put it back in the quiver, then lifted the tiger up and hoisted it onto his shoulder.

After a brief moment of soaring through the clouds, the Giant God passed through the clouds and returned to the heavens.

Bai Qiuran and Wisdom Immortal stared at the large hole in the clouds for a long time. Then, Wisdom Immortal said with a wry smile, "That's a celestial Heavenly Gods. It seems the Eastern Emperor Bell has sent us back to the age of gods."
