He Xiangu Meets Her Immortal Friend Again and Comprehends a Fortuitous Opportunity

Meanwhile, the Eight Immortals were already up to something new.

He Xiangu somehow stumbled into Ao Changsheng's Daoist temple, perhaps with the guidance of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"My fellow Daoist Changsheng, we meet again."

Ao Changsheng stared at He Xiangu in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "What a small world!"

Upon hearing this, He Xiangu couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "What do you mean by 'enemies on a narrow road'? We're just destined to meet. You don't need to be like this. I know you're a good person."

Ao Changsheng shook his head and sighed, saying, "Xiangu, don't you think what you said is ridiculous?"

Upon hearing this, He Xiangu couldn't help but ask, "What's so funny?"

"Hehe, Xiangu, you are a master of your generation! I, Ao Changsheng, am nothing in Xiangu presence, but I am nothing in Xiangu eyes either. How could you possibly think that I, Xiangu, am a good person?"

Ao Changsheng said with a wry smile, although his cultivation was much higher than He Xiangu's, in He Xiangu's eyes he was just an ant, nothing at all. Ao Changsheng knew he shouldn't say such things, but if he didn't say them, he would feel as uncomfortable as if a cat's claws were scratching him.

Upon hearing this, He Xiangu nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Ao Changsheng is right. You are indeed not worthy of my attention. However, I still want to thank Fellow Daoist Ao. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Ao's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered all of this."

Ao Changsheng was puzzled. What had happened? Why would He Xiangu suddenly thank him?

Seeing this, He Xiangu continued, "Have you ever heard of the Five-Colored Divine Light?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng suddenly realized that He Xiangu had thanked him because of this matter. No wonder she had said those words earlier; it made perfect sense.

"Of course I've heard of it," Ao Changsheng nodded.

The Five-Colored Divine Light is one of the most powerful Divine Ability among the three thousand immortals in the Immortal Realm. It is said that anyone struck by it will instantly turn to ashes and disappear into the world, even the most powerful beings in the Immortal Realm are no exception. Ao Changsheng was certainly aware of this, but he did not expect that He Xiangu would know about this Divine Ability. However, upon further reflection, Ao Changsheng realized that it was understandable, since the Five-Colored Divine Light was a supreme treasure of the Immortal Realm. How could He Xiangu, as a fairy of the Immortal Realm, not have heard of it? However, Ao Changsheng did not expect that she would use the Five-Colored Divine Light to repay him.

"Since you already know, do you know that without my help, you would have died long ago?" Ao Changsheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, He Xiangu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Yes, if it weren't for your help, I would probably be dead long ago. Besides, you've helped me so much, I should repay you."

"It's alright. There's the Unseen fortuitous opportunity between us. You should go to Mount Yingzhou to seek your opportunity."

"Yes, I know. I'll be going now." He Xiangu said, cupping her hands in greeting, and then headed outside.

As Ao Changsheng watched He Xiangu's departing figure, he thought to himself, "I should leave too. Otherwise, if she discovers I'm following her, she'll definitely kill me. After all, my cultivation level is too low right now; I'm far from qualified to follow her."

Then Ao Changsheng also turned into a wisp of green smoke and headed towards Mount Yingzhou.

Ao Changsheng didn't dare to approach, but hid not far away and observed. When he saw He Xiangu enter a palace, he didn't disturb her, but waited. After all, his current cultivation level was not enough to enter there. He couldn't enter yet, which was why he couldn't wait here, but chose to wait outside. His strength was simply not enough to enter. As long as he got close to this place, he would be crushed into dust by this power, and he wouldn't even be able to resist.

After entering the palace, He Xiangu went directly to a table inside the palace, on which was placed a bead the size of a fist.

He Xiangu reached out her jade-like hand and gently stroked the bead, then a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Just as she was about to put the bead away, she suddenly looked up in one direction, her smile instantly froze, and a look of horror appeared on her face.

"Who? Who's there?"

He Xiangu quickly stood up and looked around, but she didn't see anyone. This startled He Xiangu, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Could it be an illusion?" He Xiangu wondered to herself.

"Who do you think you are, spying on people whenever you want, scaring whoever you want? Who do you think you are?"

"It's not my imagination, it's real, there really is someone behind me!" He Xiangu kept guessing to herself.

However, despite searching her mind, she still couldn't find any clues, which inevitably raised doubts in her heart. She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out where the problem lay. But one thing she was certain of was that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her body, and that person's cultivation level was very weak, even weaker than hers. So how did he appear behind her?

"Could it be that the Five Elements Elemental Power and the elixir are from the same person? But if he is a cultivator, how did he enter my sea of consciousness? And what about this bead?"

"Could it be... could it be that guy?" He Xiangu thought of someone, the guy who saved her outside Mount Yingzhou. But how could that guy know she was here and sneak up behind her without her noticing?

"Hmph, if you hadn't shown up, Xiangu really wouldn't have believed your identity. But now that you've appeared, don't blame me for being Xiangu!" He Xiangu snorted coldly, then took out a talisman and burned it. A flame emanated from the talisman and shot into the void, while the talisman slowly burned to ashes.

He Xiangu then placed her palm on the table, and a thin barrier immediately formed around the table. He Xiangu then took out several flying swords and placed them on the table. She then made a hand Hand Seals, and she saw a faint blue light emanating from the flying swords. Sword-Ray burst out from the flying swords, forming a huge defensive shield, which became thicker and stronger.

Just then, a soft cracking sound was heard, and the thin defensive shield shattered. He Xiangu coughed up a mouthful of blood and lay on the ground, pale-faced and panting heavily.

He Xiangu cursed inwardly, "Damn it, this guy is really too cunning! He was able to easily shatter my defensive shield even after I used such a technique. This is too bizarre!"
