Comprehension Defied the Heavens, Creating the Grand Destiny Art, Shocking Lord Tongtian — Section 38

That guy had taken on a disciple, yet he had ignored her completely for three thousand years.

The three sisters had ended up looking after her themselves.

At this rate, was Ao Ling'er Hongxuan's disciple, or a disciple of the Three Xiao Sisters?!

How could he be so irresponsible?!

Although they knew he had accepted Ao Ling'er as his disciple for the Wood Spirit Pearl,

he should at least fulfill his responsibilities.

Hongxuan frowned, immediately thinking of the deathly aura deep within Ao Ling'er's primordial spirit.

He was puzzled.

Could it be that Ao Guang knew he had a way to save Ao Ling'er?

Was that why he had offered this in exchange?

Before long, the two arrived where Ao Ling'er was.

"Hm? She's already a Grand Golden Immortal?" Hongxuan exclaimed in surprise.

He had barely taught her anything!

Yet his disciple's cultivation had already reached the same level as her master's.

This so-called teacher of hers had no dignity left at all!

However, Ao Ling'er did not seem to be in good condition at the moment.

Her aura was rapidly weakening, and even her life flame was about to go out.

Naturally, Hongxuan's Illusion-Breaking Divine Eyes saw a different scene.

"Hongxuan, have you figured out what happened?"

"Ever since Ling'er advanced to the Grand Golden Immortal realm, this sudden change occurred."

"We can't even find the cause!"

Over the past three thousand years, whether it was Yunxiao, Qiong Xiao, or Bixiao, all of them had grown fond of the lively Ao Ling'er.

Bixiao especially got along very well with Ao Ling'er.

They were also the closest.

Seeing that Ao Ling'er might perish, she immediately panicked.

As Hongxuan's comprehension of the Law of Destiny deepened, he began to see many unusual things.

Just like the Ao Ling'er before him.

Hongxuan discovered that, in her original destiny trajectory, the moment she advanced to the Grand Golden Immortal realm, her death tribulation would immediately descend. She would not have had the slightest chance of survival.

Yet now, Ao Ling'er still had a sliver of life.

Without a doubt, the key lay with him.

If he wished to save her, Ao Ling'er could live. Otherwise, she would perish on the spot.

Hongxuan fell into thought.

The Eastern Sea Dragon King Ao Guang likely knew about Ao Ling'er's life-and-death tribulation as well.

As for how he knew that Hongxuan could save Ao Ling'er's life, perhaps it was one of the Dragon Clan's hidden methods.

After all, the Dragon Clan had once ruled the Primordial Wilderness. They could not possibly lack some final hidden trump cards.

How clever.

He had used the Wood Spirit Pearl to win a sliver of life for his daughter.

"Hongxuan, do you have a way to save her?"

"I'll try first."

Hongxuan nodded and stepped forward, lightly pointing with a finger of his right hand.

A mysterious power of the Law of Destiny emerged.

Then, under Hongxuan's control, it entered Ao Ling'er's glabella.

In mere moments,

Hongxuan clenched his right hand in the air and tugged forcefully.

Before the Three Xiao Sisters' disbelieving eyes,

a strange black aura was forcibly dragged out from her glabella.

It was precisely the deathly aura Hongxuan had seen years ago, deeply rooted within Ao Ling'er's primordial spirit.

It differed from the aura of death.

It was more like a mixture of death, karmic force, tribulation aura, and baleful aura.

It was exceedingly strange, yet exceptionally dangerous.

Without the proper defensive means, ordinary people simply could not withstand it.

Yunxiao was a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, yet she had not detected it in the slightest.

One could imagine just how strange and dangerous it was.

Hongxuan gave the unconscious Ao Ling'er a deep look. Her identity was clearly far from simple.

She was not merely a princess of the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan.

He would have to pay more attention to this bargain disciple in the future.

Likewise, he needed to be more vigilant.

"She's fine for now. As for whether the death tribulation will descend again in the future, that can only depend on herself."

Hongxuan did not know why such a strange death tribulation had appeared upon her.

Had some mysterious being secretly plotted against her?

Or was there some other reason?

There was no way to know.

He merely kept the matter in mind and remained watchful.

"Sister Yunxiao, look after her for now. I'm going back to continue my secluded cultivation."

Beneath the Ancient Tree of Life.

Hongxuan sat cross-legged upon the Purifying Meditation Cushion, holding a jade box in his hand.

It was the so-called grand gift Ao Guang had given him earlier.

Now that he had saved Ao Ling'er, he could accept this gift with a clear conscience.

He had originally assumed it contained some slightly more valuable resources.

But when he opened the jade box, he found twelve crystalline, translucent pearls inside.

They emitted an extraordinary aura.

"Twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls?!!"

Hongxuan nearly cried out.

Good heavens, the Eastern Sea Dragon King truly had courage.

He had actually given away such a spiritual treasure.

However, Hongxuan soon fell into a dilemma.

Zhao Gongming's magic treasure consisted of twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

If a full set were assembled, its power would undergo a qualitative transformation.

Yet after pondering for a moment, he still shook his head and abandoned the idea.

His relationship with Zhao Gongming had not reached that point.

More than anything, their connection was through the Three Xiao Sisters.

If it were merely spiritual items such as Life Source Fruits or top-grade innate spiritual tea, giving him some would not be a problem.

But the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were different.

If he truly gave them away, he would be rather reluctant.

Yet if he traded them, then because of the Three Xiao Sisters, it would seem somewhat petty.

Hongxuan did not feel the slightest heartache over giving spiritual treasures to the Three Xiao Sisters.

Just like the Ancient Tree of Life earlier, along with the three top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
