Within Huofen Kingdom.
A vast divine consciousness capable of making everyone's souls tremble swept across the land again and again.
Under this terrifying divine consciousness scan, as imposing as Heavenly Might itself, no living being within Huofen Kingdom could hide.
Because this divine consciousness remained constantly present, all Cultivators were unable to cultivate.
"What happened?"
"What is going on?"
"What is this senior looking for?"
Even those Cultivators in secluded cultivation were jolted awake one after another.
"Could they be looking for Senior Qin Hao?"
A thought arose in the Inner Hearts of the Nascent Soul Ancestors from the War God Temple and Luohe Gate.
A heaven-shaking battle had previously erupted in the mountain range outside the War God Temple.
From afar, they had seen Senior Qin Hao fighting an expert of the Giant Demon Clan.
In the end, Senior Qin Hao had taken the other party away from Huofen Kingdom, only returning some time later.
They guessed that Senior Qin Hao's enemy had most likely come looking for him.
Regarding this, the Nascent Soul Ancestors unanimously decided that they absolutely had to pretend they did not know Qin Hao.
They knew all too well how dangerous the Cultivation World was.
Once his enemy learned that they were connected to him, they would likely be implicated.
They might either be killed outright or have their souls extracted and refined.
This was the sort of disaster that could lead to the destruction of an entire sect.
"Damn it!"
Yao Xixue withdrew her divine consciousness and cursed inwardly, That Shameless Little Thief isn't here!
She had thought that once she arrived in Huofen Kingdom, she could immediately give him a thorough beating.
Yet she had never expected to make the trip for nothing!
Seeing Yao Xixue's expression turn cold, Zhu Quezi could not help asking, "Noble, the person you seek is not here? Do you need me to find you a Divination Calculator to calculate his whereabouts?"
"Not for now!"
Yao Xixue waved her hand. "I'm going to see a friend. Wait here!"
With that, her figure flashed and vanished from where she stood.
When her divine consciousness had swept across Huofen Kingdom just now, she had not found Qin Hao, but she had found Li Muwan.
She and Li Muwan had been the first two members of the Peerless Beauty Chat Group.
Previously, Yao Xixue had always lived on Blood Star with her father and had no companions her own age.
It could be said that she had been lonely ever since childhood.
Although she had quite a few maidservants, they were subordinates. She had no way to be friends with them.
Li Muwan was considered her first friend.
Now that she had come here, she naturally had to meet her good friend.
Inside the courtyard.
Li Muwan was worrying about Qin Hao.
Suddenly, the void before her distorted, and Yao Xixue's figure appeared.
"Y-You're Sister Xue?"
The moment she saw Yao Xixue, Li Muwan's eyes widened.
"What?"
Yao Xixue smiled as she walked forward. With a jade finger, she lifted Li Muwan's smooth, snow-white chin and asked, "Little Sister Wan'er doesn't recognize me anymore?"
"N-No!"
Li Muwan said, "I just never expected Sister Xue to appear in Huofen Kingdom."
Suddenly, a thought struck her. Could that divine consciousness from earlier have come from Sister Xue?
Li Muwan did not think things could be such a coincidence.
After giving it some thought, Li Muwan guessed that she must have exposed her husband's location last time.
Sister Xue had then crossed planets to chase after him, intending to teach her husband a proper lesson.
Unfortunately, Sister Xue did not know that her husband had already left long ago.
She had ultimately come up empty-handed.
"Sister Xue, please sit!"
Li Muwan pulled her over to sit on a stone bench and asked with a smile, "Sister, you didn't come all the way to Vermilion Bird Star just to see me, did you?"
"Of course I came to see Little Sister Wan'er."
Yao Xixue gave a dry cough and said, "And while I was at it, I wanted to teach that Shameless Little Thief a lesson. He actually saw This Young Lady naked!"
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes turned toward Li Muwan. "Little Sister Wan'er said before that you had met Qin Hao. Do you know where he went?"
"I don't know."
Li Muwan shook her head. "I only remember that he lived in Huofen Kingdom for a while before leaving with an old man at the Spirit Transformation stage."
"I see!"
Yao Xixue nodded slightly.
Although she could tell that Li Muwan was hiding something from her, she did not use the Soul Searching Technique on her.
After all, Li Muwan was currently her only friend. Naturally, she could not hurt her.
Yao Xixue sensed Li Muwan's cultivation and smiled. "I remember when you first joined the Chat Group, you were still a little girl at the thirteenth level of Qi Condensation. I never expected that in less than a hundred years, you would already be a False God Cultivator at Nascent Soul Great Perfection."
"As long as you comprehend an artistic conception of your own, you will be able to advance to the Spirit Transformation stage. With such talent, even across the entire Tianyun Star Domain, you would be considered quite outstanding!"
Li Muwan shook her head. "Wan'er's talent is ordinary. I cannot compare to Sister Xue!"
She knew her own situation well.
If Qin Hao had not cultivated with her, her cultivation would never have risen so quickly.
One had to know that what she had absorbed back then was Qin Hao's primordial yang from the Spirit Transformation stage.
Her cultivation had immediately risen to Core Formation Great Perfection.
Besides that, a great deal of it had transformed into spiritual power and been stored within her body.
As her cultivation rose, that primordial yang would continually be released.
Without that immense amount of primordial yang, Li Muwan would not have been able to advance so quickly merely by relying on pills.
While chatting with Yao Xixue, Li Muwan quietly opened the Chat Group panel and sent Qin Hao a private message.
Only she could see her own Chat Group panel. Even if someone stood right beside her, they would be unable to view it.
Chaos Bead Space.
Qin Hao received a notification from the Chat Group.
"Hmm? It's from Wan'er's wife!"
Seeing Li Muwan's private message, Qin Hao guessed inwardly, Could it be that Wan'er's wife misses me?
But when he opened the message, he froze.
[Li Muwan: "Husband, this is bad. Sister Xue has come to Huofen Kingdom and is looking for you. Don't return to Huofen Kingdom for now!"]
"Sister Xue? Yao Xixue?"
Qin Hao grumbled inwardly, What a petty woman. I only saw one of your revealing photos. Did you really have to chase me across star domains? You showed it to me yourself, and it's not as if you didn't see mine too.
Qin Hao replied to Li Muwan.
[Qin Hao: "Thank you for your concern, Wife. I'm in a safe place right now and will be staying here for quite a long time. If she can't wait for me, she should go back, right?"]
Qin Hao remembered that Wang Mazi had apparently taken a full two hundred years from backstabbing Tuo Sen to obtaining the Ancient God inheritance.
Only a few decades had passed so far.
In other words, he would have to wait at least another hundred-odd years before leaving this place.
He did not think Yao Xixue would wait for him on Vermilion Bird Star for over a hundred years.
After all, the environment on Vermilion Bird Star could not compare to Blood Star.
If she had not brought enough Immortal Jade with her, her cultivation would not improve in the slightest over those hundred-plus years.
"Right, Immortal Jade!"
Qin Hao's eyes lit up, and he sent Li Muwan another message.
[Qin Hao: "Wife, ask casually and see how many people came with her. If she came alone, I'm not afraid of her. I'm an Infant Transformation Expert now too."]
The flow of time within the Chaos Bead Space was twenty times faster than outside.
By now, his Cultivator clone had also reached Grand Perfection of God Transformation.
Once his true body and clone fused, his combat strength would definitely surpass that of a Mid Infant Transformation Cultivator.
If he used Dao Ancient divine abilities or the Slaying Luo Art, he could even kill an Ascending Immortal Cultivator.
However, he and Yao Xixue were not enemies, and he had no intention of harming her. At most, he merely wanted to borrow some Immortal Jade.
