This scene deeply stirred the people watching the Light Screen on the Douluo Continent.
"Damn it! I watched her collect corpses all alone for two days, and I actually pitied her!"
"You really do deserve to be damned. She's an eighth-rank Earth God. Does she need your pity?"
"Just looking at that peach makes my mouth water. Let me eat it! I'd gladly be Spirit Hall's dog."
"A Peach of Immortality! That's a Peach of Immortality! Back then, Earth Granny only said one could clear away obstacles to cultivation, but if it can be ranked alongside Ginseng Fruit and Golden Cores, how could that be all it does?"
Countless people across the Douluo Continent wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves.
Under countless envious eyes, Qian Renxue placed the Peach of Immortality and the jug of wine on the table.
"Should I eat the peach first or drink the wine?"
Qian Renxue swallowed as she looked at the Peach of Immortality.
"I'll save the good stuff for last. Let's taste the wine here first."
Qian Renxue poured herself a cup, and the fragrance of wine filled the entire Vihara.
"Just smelling it is almost enough to make me drunk."
A blush spread over Qian Renxue's cheeks, lending her a different sort of charm. She raised the cup and drained it in one gulp.
"This..."
The moment the wine reached her stomach, Qian Renxue felt the spiritual qi between heaven and earth converge on her.
"Oh no!"
Qian Renxue immediately gathered her focus and circulated the Jade Emperor's Wondrous True Scripture. Her cultivation began climbing steadily.
But after only three breaths, Qian Renxue fell asleep where she sat, though her aura continued to rise.
Before the last of her consciousness faded, she felt extremely fortunate that she had not eaten the Peach of Immortality first. She could barely withstand the wine alone-what about the peach?
The Douluo Continent.
Countless people swallowed along with Qian Renxue's gulp. Wine drunk by Immortals in heaven! Wasn't Spirit Hall's young mistress far too lucky?
Spirit Hall.
"Hahaha! Xiao Xue has gained quite an opportunity this time. Even if she can't become an Immortal after finishing that wine and eating the Peach of Immortality, the road ahead will certainly be a wide, level plain."
Qian Daoliu laughed heartily.
"Great Enshrined, perhaps the young mistress really can become an Immortal?"
An elder indulged in a flight of fancy.
Qian Daoliu slowly shook his head, his expression grave. "No. Becoming an Immortal definitely isn't that simple."
"There's no denying that the Heavenly Court's things are excellent, but becoming an Immortal must be even harder. Besides, no one knows whether these things have side effects. Xiao Xue's foundation is too shallow. Even if she can become an Immortal, I'd rather it didn't come so easily."
Bibi Dong also nodded to herself.
"The Immortals of the Primordial World are so powerful. There must be some threshold or trial that's difficult to overcome before becoming one."
Several enshrined elders nodded too. They had grown shrewd with age and knew that moving quickly was not always a good thing.
"I'm satisfied that Xiao Xue has gained so much. As for becoming an Immortal, there's no hurry. She can take her time. It's better to follow the proper order and make every step firm."
Everyone across the continent waited eagerly to see how powerful Qian Renxue would become after this period of secluded cultivation.
Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang stared fixedly as Qian Renxue drank the fine wine, his heart filled with jealousy.
If he had drunk that mouthful of wine, he would surely have broken through rank thirty. No, he would have become the most powerful god.
What a pity it had been wasted like that.
"I really want a taste too."
Flender wished he could crawl into the screen in the sky.
"Hmph."
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly. "No wonder that Handsome Monkey King rebelled against the Heavenly Court. They don't even confiscate stolen goods like these. There are no rules whatsoever. The way I see it, this Heavenly Court is nothing but a makeshift troupe."
"When I reach the Primordial World, I'll change these rotten practices!"
Yu Xiaogang inventoried his supplies once more, preparing to ascend.
An entire day passed without any sign of Qian Renxue waking, and the time for the second round of ascension arrived.
[The appointed time has arrived] [The four ascending to the Primordial World this time are: Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhao Wuji, Di Tian] [Please prepare. Ascension to the Primordial World will begin in ten seconds] [Notice: During the fusion of the two worlds, the flow of time may differ. Do not panic] [May you remain safe]
Boom!
As the list of those ascending was revealed, those who had not been chosen gritted their teeth, while the factions involved in this round erupted.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Rongrong, you must remember that staying alive comes first in the Primordial World. You can pay some attention to Buddhism. Its teachings are very good. Nalanda Temple should only be an exception."
Ning Fengzhi gave her reminder after reminder, only to be interrupted by Sword Douluo.
"Enough, Fengzhi. Rongrong is still young. As long as she stays alive, everything else can come slowly."
Sword Douluo smiled at Ning Rongrong. "Rongrong, don't be afraid. Take care of yourself."
Bone Douluo also wanted to say something, but the ten seconds had already passed. Ning Rongrong vanished in a flash of white light, leaving Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo bristling and glaring.
The Star Dou Great Forest.
"He really was chosen!"
The Silver Dragon King looked at Di Tian in disbelief.
"Di Tian, you know what to do."
Di Tian bowed.
"Rest assured, my lord. I understand."
With that, Di Tian turned toward Bi Ji and Zi JI, whose faces were full of worry.
"Don't worry. I'll survive!"
At this moment, Di Tian displayed the bearing of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.
As a loyal guard, since his lord could not be relied upon, he had to find a way to wade out a path to survival.
"Xiong Jun, I'm leaving the Star Dou Great Forest's safety to you."
As his words fell, Di Tian ascended.
Shrek Academy.
"What? Two people from our academy?"
Flender and the others all turned their eyes toward Zhu Zhuqing and Zhao Wuji.
Yu Xiaogang clenched his hands tightly. Damn it, why wasn't it me? I had everything ready.
Tang San felt the same. While inwardly cursing the Douluo Star Will, he hurried over to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I'm entrusting Xiao Wu to you."
A flash of irritation crossed Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. What do you mean, you're entrusting Xiao Wu to me? I don't even know if I'll survive.
Am I supposed to go to that monster's cave and throw my life away?
"Exactly."
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang also raised his voice. "You're all from the same school, and Xiao Wu is your teammate. Every one of us should find a way to save her."
"Don't act rashly once you reach the Primordial World. Investigate the situation first. Think of it as going ahead to prepare the way for us."
The master and disciple thoroughly disgusted Zhu Zhuqing, but when she saw Tang Hao watching menacingly nearby, she nodded heavily.
Once she reached the Primordial World, the sky would be high enough for any bird to fly free anyway.
Zhu Zhuqing was delighted. This meant she could cast off the shackles binding her.
Even if she died in the Primordial World, she would have no regrets.
"Heh."
Zhao Wuji scoffed.
"I may not be a good man, but I'm nowhere near as shameless as you."
"Making a young girl like Zhu Zhuqing go save Xiao Wu-have you considered how Zhu Zhuqing feels?"
"Shut up!"
Yu Xiaogang roared angrily. "Zhao Wuji, someone like you doesn't understand what it means to be a united whole."
"Hahaha! A piece of trash who passed fifty before he could even reach rank thirty is lecturing a Soul Saint like me?"
Just then, an icy voice rang out.
"What about me?"
Tang Hao held the Clear Sky Hammer. "Am I qualified to lecture you?"
"Someone like you would only waste resources in the Primordial World. Die!"
Tang Hao swung straight at Zhao Wuji.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, white light flashed, and Zhao Wuji and Zhu Zhuqing vanished at the same time.
Tang Hao's hammer smashed a huge hole in the building.
"Damn it!"
Tang Hao cursed, unwilling to accept it.
Flender looked at the huge hole in the wall, the corners of his eyes twitching with heartache, but dared not speak.
Spirit Hall.
"I wasn't chosen."
Bibi Dong was deeply disappointed.
"No one from Spirit Hall was chosen this time. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is quite lucky, though."
"Who is Di Tian?"
"Great Enshrined, look! Di Tian is actually a Soul Beast!"
At that moment, everyone turned their eyes toward the live Light Screen.
Di Tian revealed his true form as soon as he arrived in the Primordial World, perhaps because his foundation differed from Xiao Wu's.
After breaking through to the god-level realm of Douluo, he transformed into a figure that looked powerfully built, though traces on certain parts of his body indicated that he was not human.
"This Di Tian is actually a Soul Beast-a dragon!"
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan erupted.
"There's actually such a powerful Soul Beast hidden on our Douluo Continent! Heavens!"
"Damn it, he got away. Otherwise, if he could have become our Soul Ring..."
"First a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit in human form, and now this Black Dragon. Just how many Soul Beasts are hidden on the Douluo Continent?"
"This Di Tian is nothing like that Soft Bone Rabbit. And his luck is better too. This environment looks quite good."
Both humans and Soul Beasts across the Douluo Continent focused their attention on Di Tian.
The Primordial World.
Di Tian had no interest in guessing what sort of stir he had caused on the Douluo Continent.
He only wanted to determine where he was as quickly as possible so he could decide on his next move.
He was extremely decisive in taking action.
"I'll find the Earth God and register my name first. That way, if I die, I can go to the Underworld instead of becoming a lonely, wandering ghost. Then I'll try cultivating the method Earth Granny gave Qian Renxue and see whether I can cultivate like a human."
Di Tian looked around, and his eyes lit up.
He saw a village. Where there was a village, there would be an Earth God.
"Perhaps I can even follow the same path as Spirit Hall's young mistress."
Without hesitation, Di Tian headed toward the Earth God.
