Qian Renxue Arrives in Stone Village; Hu Liena, Chen Xin, and Ma Hongjun's Encounters Revealed!

The Goddess of Life looked at the refined, easygoing figure on the Sky Screen. Thinking of the God of Destruction, who had been slapped to smithereens, she couldn't help feeling a jumble of emotions.

"Destruction may be powerful, but he's too hot-tempered and too arrogant."

"But this Immortal Lord..."

"Every gesture of his seemed to embody the laws of heaven and earth. His composure and bearing were things Destruction could never hope to match."

"If I'd met him back then..."

The Goddess of Life's chest rose and fell. She pressed a hand tightly to it, her cheeks faintly flushed.

But she quickly shook her head, dispelling the frightening thought.

Yet her heart, quiet for countless years, refused to settle.

Meanwhile, the entire Douluo Plane was in an uproar, wondering where this mysterious Immortal Lord would go next.

After all, even in his earlier clash with the two Immortal Kings of the Foreign Realm, the Immortal Lord had remained calm, fighting by tearing through space with a single hand without revealing his true form.

Now he was out traveling with a young attendant. Surely he had some extraordinary business to attend to—or was going to meet some extraordinary figure.

At the thought, everyone across the Douluo Plane grew even more curious.

However, before they could stare holes through the Sky Screen, the vast screen split into three scenes, revealing the encounters of the other three Douluo visitors.

The scene shifted. The first panel no longer showed the Primordial Immortal Court. Instead, it revealed a valley steeped in a rosy haze.

Peach blossoms bloomed everywhere, their fragrance filling the air. The scenery was enchanting in every direction.

Hu Liena, Saintess of Spirit Hall, was trudging along a mountain path, looking utterly exhausted.

Though she had been chosen and transported here, she hadn't managed to latch onto a powerful backer like Zhu Zhuqing. The journey had been nothing but hardship.

The terrifying gravity of this world had nearly crushed her.

Fortunately, her Martial Soul was a Demon Fox, naturally adept at bewitchment and spiritual power. That had made things a little easier.

"What kind of place is this?"

As she walked, Hu Liena spotted a sect shrouded in pink clouds ahead and stared at it in astonishment.

She looked up. Three large characters were carved above the sect's gate: Hehuan Sect!

The name sounded a little disreputable, but in a High-Dimensional World like this, no sect could be taken lightly.

"Recruiting disciples? Women only? And they must be born with alluring bones?"

Reading the notice by the gate, Hu Liena felt her heart stir.

Wasn't this tailor-made for her?

Without another moment's hesitation, Hu Liena straightened her clothes and continued forward, battling the crushing gravity.

Compared to Hu Liena, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, on the second panel, was in far greater danger.

He had landed in a barren stretch of desert. Sword energy swept across the land, and every gust of wind was like a blade, leaving him covered in cuts.

But rather than retreat, he looked feverishly excited.

Not far ahead stood a massive Sword Mountain, thrusting straight into the clouds!

The mountain itself resembled a giant sword piercing heaven and earth, spanning the space between sky and ground. Its terrifying sword intent was so powerful it made heaven and earth change color!

"Could that be... a sacred ground for sword cultivators?"

At the thought, Chen Xin tightened his grip on the Seven Kill Sword. Gritting his teeth, he pressed forward step by step through the sword energy toward the mountain.

The scene shifted again in the third panel, revealing a lush vegetable patch.

It was filled with all kinds of strange spirit plants, but the most eye-catching were rows of carrots, translucent as red gemstones.

"Slurp..."

Ma Hongjun crouched behind a bush, staring at the carrots with drool almost dripping from his mouth.

Though he had been dragged into the teleportation array against his will, the past few days had turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Aside from the crushing gravity, he hadn't faced any major dangers. The Spiritual Energy in this vegetable patch was so rich that his Soul Power had even increased.

"Heh, nobody's watching. This master's helping himself!"

After glancing slyly around, Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together and crept into the patch. He grabbed a carrot and started tugging.

"Poke, poke."

Just then, he felt someone poke him in the waist from behind.

"Quit messing around. This master's busy!"

Ma Hongjun waved impatiently and kept pulling.

"Poke, poke, poke!"

The person seemed determined and kept poking him.

"Hey, who is it?"

Annoyed, Ma Hongjun whipped around, ready to curse—but the next instant, he froze.

A little girl stood behind him, as cute as a doll.

She looked only five or six years old, wore a pure white dress, and had two furry long ears atop her head. With her hands on her hips, she glared at him, cheeks puffed in anger.

"So... so cute!"

Ma Hongjun stared, transfixed.

Those two rabbit ears especially reminded him of his third brother's Xiao Wu.

"Heh, little girl, do you like carrots too?"

Ma Hongjun's eyes roamed over the little girl without restraint, then lingered on her tail as he grinned lecherously.

He figured that with just this little girl out in the wilderness, she'd be easy prey for him.

But considering he was in that terrifying world, he decided to play it safe and try sweet-talking her first.

"Who are you? Why are you stealing my carrots?"

The little girl stared at Turkey Brother, this ugly, fat man, and planted her hands on her hips. In a childish voice, she demanded an answer, her ruby-red eyes blazing with fury.

"Ahem, big brother isn't stealing them. I'm just helping you taste them."

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun slowly edged closer.

"Little girl, what's so good about carrots?"

"Big brother has something bigger right here. Do you want..."

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent.

"What the hell is that fatso doing?!"

At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu was stomping her feet in anger as she watched the scene on the Sky Screen.

The little girl might have been adorable, but the aura around her filled even Xiao Wu, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, with deep fear!

"Why couldn't he do anything else? He just had to let his lust take over..."

"Fatty's as good as dead!"

Just then, a flash of light suddenly appeared on the Sky Screen, right at its center.

[Announcement: Explorer God of Destruction of the Douluo Plane confirmed dead!]

[Cause of death: Slapped to death by the gatekeeping attendant for insulting the Immortal Lord!]

[Beginning the fourth round of replacement selection...]

[Ding! Selection successful!]

[Fifth selected candidate: Spirit Hall's young master, Qian Renxue!]

"Whoosh!"

The next second, the replacement selection gave the people of Spirit Hall no time to prepare. A golden pillar of light descended from the sky, pierced through the roof of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, and engulfed Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

"I was chosen?!"

Qian Renxue looked stunned, but before she could react, she vanished from the spot.

The next moment, the scene shifted.

The three-part screen merged into one again, showing Qian Renxue's figure beyond the Sky Screen.

She seemed to be in the depths of the Deep Great Wilderness, outside a primitive village.

A charred Willow Tree swayed gently in the wind.

Not far from it, a disheveled middle-aged man, covered in wounds and mud, was struggling to move stones.
