Yu Qingzhu said, "I've cured the poison, Miss A Ning. If you're worried, I'll take full responsibility for any potential side effects!"
A Ning pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Then she turned to Xie Feng and said, "Sect Leader, it's getting late, you should all rest. I'll go patrol the surrounding area!"
Xie Feng said, "Okay."
Yu Qingzhu raised her hand. "I'll go too!"
A Ning glanced at him, her face expressionless, and said, "What are you going to do?"
Yu Qingzhu smiled faintly, "You promised to take responsibility. What if you encounter an accident and blame it on poisoning?"
A Ning: "..."
"Come on, I'll go with you!"
"We're not familiar with each other!"
"You're quite stubborn, aren't you? The Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race has an innate aptitude for learning poison arts. I just joined the Xuanji Sect and don't have any students yet. Why don't you consider learning poison arts from me?"
A Ning said, "I won't learn!"
Yu Qingzhu raised an eyebrow slightly, "Sect Master, has this child always had such a bad temper?"
Xie Feng smiled slightly, "That's what personality is all about."
A Ning didn't want to linger any longer. She clasped her hands in a fist salute to Xie Feng, turned around, and left. Yu Qingzhu followed after her.
"Hey, are you really not going to consider it?"
"Leave me alone!"
"You little brat, you've got quite a temper. We're not enemies anymore, can you change your attitude? Hey, if you become my first student, I'll teach you everything I know!"
Let me think about it!
"You have talent, there's no need to think about this. It would be a great pity to waste this talent, like a pearl left to rot..."
"Oh."
Somewhere in the Origin Realm.
Riverside.
A woman sat cross-legged, holding a fishing rod, fishing quietly.
She wore a moon-gray long dress, her soft hair cascading down her back, her long eyebrows and flowing sideburns, and even with her phoenix eyes lowered, they still exuded an undeniable composure and sharpness.
She is beautiful.
She is as beautiful as a wild and untamed lion.
Shedding his Golden Armor and donning ordinary clothes, he sat quietly fishing, concealed by the grass, with a fish basket piled beside him.
Gu Xinglan!
She stared at the calm river surface, motionless, oblivious to the passage of time.
rustle...
Footsteps approached, and someone stopped about four or five steps away from her.
" Cheng Hao, you've arrived."
Gu Xinglan knew who it was without even turning around.
After all, she doesn't have many friends.
Whether they are true friends or false friends.
"The Ancient Realm Lord is really quite leisurely. The Imperial Evil Realm has already begun its counterattack. In just four days, apart from the main alliance and the six major branch alliances, all other ordinary branch alliances have been subjected to a frenzied counterattack by the Devil Race race."
"Sixty thousand Earthborn Devil Creature and twenty thousand humans have already perished, including many innocent victims! Are you just going to remain indifferent, even leisurely fishing?"
Cheng Hao suppressed his anger and rebuked him.
Gu Xinglan's brow twitched slightly, and he said calmly, "We outnumber them, what are we afraid of? The world has no shortage of people; one generation dies, another is born."
Cheng Hao frowned, but didn't know how to refute it. He could only say, "Even if what you said is right, you shouldn't remain indifferent."
"Then what should I do?"
"Take action!"
Look at me now, what am I doing?
"Let's go fishing!"
"This is my action."
"???"
Cheng Hao's anger flared up again.
Gu Xinglan pointed to the fish basket, gesturing for Cheng Hao to look over. Cheng Hao glanced at it, then curled his lip. "These are all annoying little fish. You're fishing for these?"
Gu Xinglan smiled slightly, "Yes, they were just small fry, but they still cost me some time. But I have plenty of time; I can patiently wait for the big fish to take the bait."
After hearing these remarks, Cheng Hao remained silent for a moment. Then, he said in a low voice, "I understand your actions. But I still have one concern."
"What?"
" The Imperial Evil Lord, Ancestor Muyun, and Lu Yinjian are ganging up on us. Their cultivation is second only to yours. I'm worried that once the Imperial Evil Lord breaks through, he will become a major threat to you!"
Cheng Hao's concerns were not unfounded; the Imperial Evil Lord Indestructible Saint Lord Ninth Stage, and a rare top-tier expert.
For elite powerhouses, the difference between Indestructible Saint Lord and Indestructible Saint Emperor is a lifetime.
But the Imperial Evil Lord is different!
With his talent and aptitude, a difference of only two or three levels might allow him to break through at any time.
"And another thing!" Cheng Hao's expression turned serious. "I've heard that Lu Yinjian's next plan is to attack the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race, and my Kui Emperor White Crow Clan borders the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race! Lu Yinjian is trying to... make an example of them!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan didn't even flinch. He simply looked up at the sky, his mind subtly shifting, and the Heavenly Ranking automatically appeared before him.
She pointed to the Heavenly Ranking and asked, "Look at the Heavenly Ranking, my cultivation level."
Cheng Hao said, "It's strange, what's going on? Why isn't the Heavenly Ranking showing your cultivation level?"
Gu Xinglan said, "Because of me, I'm constantly breaking through!"
Cheng Hao raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Gu Xinglan stared silently at the Heavenly Ranking. Suddenly, she raised her palm, and a chaotic wave of energy rippled through the space!
An overwhelming aura emanated from her!
The overwhelming pressure of the Indestructible Saint Emperor!
With a deafening roar, a wave of oppressive power swept over her—she had broken through!
Second order!
Third tier!
Fourth tier!
In the blink of an eye, her cultivation level reached the Indestructible Saint Emperor Fourth Stage!
The Heavenly Ranking will etch this history into history.
Cheng Hao was so shocked he gasped, "You... you're a monster!"
Gu Xinglan said, "You just said that Lu Yinjian wants to fight the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race, so let him fight. What's there to be afraid of?"
Cheng Hao smiled wryly, "You're so awesome, you're definitely not afraid, but I'm a little worried."
Although one or two exceptionally strong fighters cannot turn the tide of a war, the outcome can change in the long run when all the men are gone!
Do you want to know why my cultivation level can jump so much?
"Why?"
"Because I've cultivated Secret Method!"
Gu Xinglan turned her head and stared at Cheng Hao, "Can I trust you?"
Cheng Hao shrugged. "To be honest, the entire Origin Realm knows we're bound together now. If you don't believe me, then I doubt anyone else will, right?"
"You need to understand, among the Earthborn Devil Creature now, only I am capable of cooperating with you! And only the Kui Emperor White Crow Clan has the qualifications to join forces with the Devil Subduing Realm. No, perhaps the Grand Yin Imperial Dragon Race could too, but Cong Yun is clearly helping Xie Feng."
Gu Xinglan nodded, raised her hand, and tossed a tattered, yellowed ancient book, only the first half of which was missing, into Cheng Hao.
"Take the first two chapters of ' Ancient God Secret Art ' and practice them. Although there are only two chapters, they are enough to improve your strength."
Handling ancient books evokes a sense of heaviness and coldness, carrying with it the scent of countless years gone by.
Cheng Hao turned to the first page, on which were written eight characters:
"To practice this skill, one must first abandon one's cultivation."
Turning the page further, it was completely blank, with no writing whatsoever.
Gu Xinglan calmly said, "You must first destroy your current cultivation before you can cultivate the Ancient God Secret Art of our Devil Subduing Realm. This is called 'destruction before construction'."
Cheng Hao's lips twitched. "Is this really risk-free?"
