Xun'er: Someone Must Be Playing Tricks

"What is this!?"

A strange glint flashed through Queen Medusa's narrow, beautiful eyes.

The information recorded in some of the ancient tomes passed down within the tribe had never mentioned such a phenomenon.

Before she could make sense of it, the ancient book transformed into a streak of light and slipped into her brow.

Despite being at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm and having already begun to grasp Spatial Power, she could not even muster a thought of resistance.

The next moment, countless pieces of information surfaced.

[Great Dao Notes, born of the Great Dao, formed from one trillionth of a reflection of one trillionth of the Great Dao itself]

[The recorder of this world's Notes reflection is Xiao Ting. He will record everything he sees, hears, and thinks in this great world in the Notes (all guaranteed to be true). He is a World Observer]

[If the recorded content is sufficiently outstanding, he will be qualified to transcend this great world in the future]

[Notebook Copy observers are those who possess copies of this world's Notes reflection and may read the information recorded by the World Observer.]

[As an observer, if one can be observed and recorded by the observer, one may randomly receive a Plane Blessing or even a World Blessing.]

[Blessing contents include but are not limited to the infusion of heaven and earth energy of various levels, warnings of fortune and misfortune regarding opportunities bestowed by heaven, sudden enlightenment in cultivation methods and Dou Techniques...]

After absorbing all this information, Queen Medusa's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She did not know what the Great Dao was, nor did she know what level a great world represented, so she could not fully understand the origins of these Notes.

Yet the sheer fact that these Notes had rendered her unable to resist and directly rooted themselves deep within her soul proved that they were no ordinary treasure of heaven and earth.

"Xiao Ting, World Observer."

"Could this great world refer to the entire Dou Qi Continent, while the plane refers to the Northwest Continent?"

"Being qualified to transcend this great world... does that mean transcending the Dou Qi Continent... and becoming the legendary Dou Di?"

After indulging in a string of wild thoughts, Medusa grew curious about these so-called blessings.

Could a Plane Blessing mean receiving a gift from the Northwest Continent?

As she pondered carefully, a piece of information suddenly appeared in her mind out of nowhere.

[At Black Water Ravine on the extreme southern edge of the Northwest Continent, a sixth-tier Purple Nether Flame Snake failed its tribulation while evolving into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, leaving behind a Shattered Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Core and the residual soul power of a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.]

As the information appeared, countless images surfaced in Queen Medusa's mind.

A Purple Nether Flame Snake over a hundred zhang long hovered above a massive ravine. Dark clouds covered a thousand li overhead, while terrifying lightning brewed within them, carrying the might of heaven and earth like the wrath of the Thunder God.

As several powerful bolts of lightning crashed down, the Purple Nether Flame Snake's body was shattered beyond recognition. Seven colors had already appeared across its surface, and its evolution was nearly complete, but it ultimately perished, its corpse falling into the depths of the ravine.

"Hiss!"

Queen Medusa's pupils abruptly contracted, and her breathing quickened.

Shortly after Snake-People Tribe members were born, they used a secret technique to infuse the soul of a snake-type magical beast into their bodies.

As they grew older and stronger, the soul of that snake-type magical beast gradually fused with them until there was no distinction between them. At that point, they could summon the beast's true form to fight. This was one of the Snake-People Tribe's greatest trump cards.

As for Medusa herself, the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, the snake-type magical beast implanted within her body during childhood had been a sixth-tier Purple Nether Flame Snake.

If she could obtain that Shattered Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Core and the residual soul power of a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python...

The chances of success for her plan to evolve using Heavenly Flames would increase by at least thirty percent.

"So this is an opportunity." Queen Medusa's emotions churned.

This reflected phantom of the Great Dao Notes had merely made a slight move, yet it had already made her realize how powerful it was.

In that case, it was necessary to get acquainted with that recorder and build a good relationship with him. Only then could she be recorded by him and obtain opportunities.

With that thought, Medusa manifested the Notebook Copy and opened it to read.

A name alone was not enough for her to find Xiao Ting.

She needed to analyze Xiao Ting through the content he recorded.

At the same time, in a mountain range near Qingshan Town.

A young woman in a purple dress bent over at the edge of a cliff, picking a medicinal herb.

"Hmm?"

After placing the herb into her basket, the young woman lightly pounded her slender waist with her jade-like hand. Her sharp eyes then spotted a conspicuous protruding rock below the cliff.

A huge crack had somehow appeared in the mountain wall before the rock. Wind blew out from within it, causing the surrounding vines to sway.

It reminded the young woman of some strange tales she had read, as well as a widely circulated saying.

If one day you fall off a cliff and land in a cave, do not panic. Take two steps forward, and perhaps you will become an expert!

"Could it be a cave dwelling left behind by some powerful senior?" Her heart began to race.

But since this herb-gathering trip was nearly over, she did not intend to explore it.

She would first return to Qingshan Town, then come back next time with ropes and tools for cutting into the cliff wall.

She could not possibly jump down and gamble with her life.

"Hmm!?"

The young woman turned around while suppressing her excitement, only to see an ancient book appear out of thin air, floating in midair.

"Th-this... what is this?"

A book capable of floating in midair was obviously no ordinary object.

The young woman instinctively moved closer for a look and saw a line of words written on it.

At the same time, still within the Tagor Desert, inside Shimo City.

The baby-faced, busty young woman finished everything that did and did not belong to her, then dragged her exhausted body back to a remote, cold, dilapidated house.

When she pushed open the door, she saw that her bedsheet and quilt had both been tossed onto the floor, marked with muddy footprints.

"Waaah!"

The young woman's eyes reddened, and tears swirled in her eye sockets.

She rolled up her sleeves and viciously rubbed the green scales on her arm until they bled, only then stopping.

Just as she crouched down, about to burst into tears, an ancient book suddenly appeared out of thin air before her.

"Uh..." The frightened young woman let out a hiccup.

[Xiao Ting's Great Dao Notes (Qing Lin's Observation Copy)]

At the same time.

At the peak of Misty Cloud Mountain, the Misty Cloud Sect's residence in the north of the Jia Ma Empire.

Inside the sect master's grand hall, a mature woman dressed in a tight-fitting brocade robe of gold trimmed with purple, her long black hair arranged in the shape of a phoenix's cry, gently rubbed her brow. Her face was serene and beautiful, her temperament dignified and noble, yet she also resembled a clear spring deep within a secluded mountain.

The marriage alliance between the Xiao Clan and the Nalan Clan had been meant to forge a bond between the two families and form an alliance of interests. It was also Nalan Jie's way of repaying the favor he owed Xiao Lin of the Xiao Clan.

But after Nalan Yanran became the sole personal disciple of Yun Yun, the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, her marriage could not naturally be decided so carelessly, especially when her intended husband was an ordinary person who had lost his talent for cultivation.

Yun Yun sincerely approved of Nalan Yanran's desire to break off the engagement and had ultimately offered her support.

In Yun Yun's vision, the Misty Cloud Sect would send someone to accompany Nalan Yanran to personally explain the situation and offer compensation. As long as the Xiao Clan knew what was good for them, the matter could be settled peacefully.

Yet Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye's actions had forcibly created a Three Year Agreement.

Not long ago, she had received news that Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan had broken through four stages of Dou Qi in a single year, his talent surpassing even what it had been before.

"No matter what, Yanran cannot lose the Three Year Agreement."

The woman decided to speak with Gu He, a guest elder of the sect, and have him refine several pills for Nalan Yanran that could rapidly increase her cultivation without damaging her foundation.

But just as she rose to her feet, an ancient book suddenly appeared before her.

[Xiao Ting's Great Dao Notes (Yun Yun's Observation Copy)]

"What is this!?"

At the same time, at the Xiao Clan in Wutan City.

Xun'er, who was soaking in a bath barrel and preparing to change clothes before having dinner with Xiao Ting, opened her eyes. She stared at the ancient book that had appeared out of thin air before her, her face full of bewilderment.

Was someone playing tricks?

[Xiao Ting's Great Dao Notes (Gu Xun'er's Observation Copy)]

When she saw the words on the book, killing intent burst forth in Xun'er's eyes.

"Hmm!?"
