Baili Ya felt sowhat embarrassed, as he wasn't necessarily fixated on making Yu Qingtan his queen, rather he simply appreciated beauty.
"Alright, now that Junior Sister Yu has arrived, hurry and test your luck! All of us here have been thwarted, much to our regret!"
Baili Ya looked towards a giant transparent box next to the platform and said.
However, Yu Qingtan couldn't help but glance at the rotund figure, pondering for a mont before ultimately abandoning the thought of taking action.
The rotund figure was also at the Late Stage of the Golden Core, and to have reached this place, their strength must be far superior to that of Shui Laimiao; she had no guarantee of victory.
As for asking Baili Ya and Tan Suqin to make a move, she felt she didn't have the clout for that.
"Let's see how much longer you can jump around!" Yu Qingtan thought to herself. She and the rogue cultivators of Sakura Island had major grievances, and they would surely continue to target her. If she could strike first, Yu Qingtan wouldn't hesitate.
The rotund figure felt a chill in his heart under Yu Qingtan's gaze, his eyes, squeezed by the fat, squinted, as various sches churned in his mind.
However, he made no move either, because if Yu Qingtan could make it here, he similarly lacked the confidence to take her down directly, especially since Baili Ya and Tan Suqin were likely to intervene.
Yu Qingtan approached the giant transparent box, took a deep breath, and poured her spiritual power into a protruding crystal.
This object was known as the Fortune and Heaven Grand Treasure Chest, which contained ten thousand white and black spheres. Upon infusing spiritual power into the activation crystal, a sphere would randomly drop.
Most of the spheres were empty, so contained treasures, but only ten held the token for advancing to the next stage.
A single-use Enlightennt Stone.
Yu Qingtan observed the Fortune and Heaven Grand Treasure Chest and thought it resembled lottery machines from her previous life.
But here, it all depended on luck, a one-in-a-thousand chance, with no insider manipulation.
In the Cultivation World, there has always been a notion of fortune, and although luck is intangible and invisible, it truly exists.
The example of Shen Wanning's Fortune Cultivation Body showed a strong presence of luck.
However, the strength of luck is relative and can be influenced by many factors, otherwise, Wanning would not have been abducted.
As for her own luck and fortune, Yu Qingtan couldn't say whether it was good or bad; at this place, she could only leave it to fate.
As spiritual power was poured in, the spheres in the Fortune and Heaven Grand Treasure Chest began to tumble violently, and all eyes involuntarily turned to watch.
After ten full breaths, a white sphere stood out from the ten thousand, rolling down from the sphere outlet.
Yu Qingtan drew it into her hand, gave it a gentle squeeze, and the white shell crumbled into dust and vanished.
In her hand appeared a black and shiny stone that looked like an ordinary pebble.
Yu Qingtan was overjoyed, her luck this ti was not bad at all; this was indeed a single-use Enlightennt Stone.
Suddenly, a sharp, nearly colorless fine needle shot towards Yu Qingtan.
As everyone's divine sense was still suppressed at that mont and since Yu Qingtan was caught up in the excitent of acquiring the single-use Enlightennt Stone, she didn't notice right away.
By the ti she sensed danger, the fine needle was already ten feet behind her.
Alarm bells went off in Yu Qingtan's mind, but there wasn't enough ti to dodge or deploy any defensive asures.
"Boom~"
A bolt of lightning struck the fine needle, which was none other than Baili Ya, the True Person of Blue Thunder, who had spotted the attack and had launched the Blue Thunder in an attempt to bring it down.
Unfortunately, the thin needle seed to be largely unaffected and continued to shoot towards Yu Qingtan with extre speed.
"Puchi~"
The Dragonscale Soft Armor that Yu Qingtan wore finally blocked the thin needle for a mont, giving Yu Qingtan a chance to contort and shift her body.
"Puh~"
Yu Qingtan's left side was pierced by the thin needle, the fierce energy it carried exploded in her abdon, blowing a hole the size of an infant's arm through her left side.
The thin needle then passed through the Dragonscale Soft Armor in front and ca out of her body, embedding itself in a shield that was emitting flas.
This thin needle wasn't so shoddy item used by the assassins of Misty Rain Tower; it was an ancient treasure of superior treasure-grade known as the Geng tal Shadowless Needle.
The one who launched the sneak attack was none other than the real person of Zongheng Sect, Gou Dongxu.
Had it not been for the Dragonscale Soft Armor which had played a role, Yu Qingtan's Dantian would have been completely shattered, just like the talented Ge Wenxiong of the Ges. Of course, this was just her avatar, which wasn't a major issue, but explaining the aftermath would prove difficult, as the treasures capable of completely repairing a shattered Dantian were exceedingly rare.
Even so, Yu Qingtan's Dantian was damaged, like a piece of an eggshell was broken, and Spiritual Power continuously leaked out from the wound.
Without hesitation, Yu Qingtan took out the Nine Python Profound Fire Cover, trapping the slowed-down Geng tal Shadowless Needle within it.
While elevating her Cultivation Level to the Golden Core Stage using "Love's Protection," she cast the Rejuvenation Spell and Decay and Flourish Technique to treat her injuries, and used the Purification Spell to purify the Geng tal Shadowless Needle entangled by the fire python.
When using "Love's Protection," Yu Qingtan's Dantian didn't manifest a Golden Core, but the strength of the Spiritual Power flowing through her ridians was no different from that of a Cultivator in the Golden Core Stage, and it also carried the aura of a Golden Core.
anwhile, Real Person Dongxu, upon realizing his Geng tal Shadowless Needle was trapped, beca sowhat anxious, but couldn't attend to it because Baili Ya had engaged him.
"How dare you!" he proclaid. "You certainly have the gall to attempt an assassination right under the eyes of this king of the Wendao Sect. You are as good as dead."
Seeing that Yu Qingtan was not in mortal danger, Baili Ya enveloped himself in lightning, summoning a large cauldron above his head and began his assault on Real Person Dongxu.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you."
Real Person Dongxu dared to counterattack with confidence.
Even though Baili Ya ranked fifth on the Pride of the Heavens List, Dongxu had polished his skills in the Late Stage of the Golden Core for many years, had support from his allies, and possessed nurous trump cards, thus he did not fear the confrontation.
Suddenly, his aura surged to a level close to the Nascent Soul Stage, and a golden Dao Domain close to the Third Level began to form around him. In his hand appeared a golden long spear, and a golden crown materialized above his head.
The thunder attacks launched by Baili Ya were all blocked by a protective barrier ford by the golden crown, and Real Person Dongxu turned from defense to offense, putting Baili Ya under pressure.
The golden long spear was Dongxu's Lifebound Magical Treasure, a superior third-stage item, while the golden crown was a component of an ancient Taoist Instrunt.
"Brother, I'll help you!"
Seeing Baili Ya being suppressed, Fairy Su Qin joined the fray as well.
"Haha, excellent! Yusu, aren't you joining us?"
Real Person Dongxu laughed out loud, even inviting Real Person Yusui of Danjian Sect to join the battle.
Real Person Yusui did not respond, showing no intention of joining the fight. Instead, he stayed far from the battlefield, focusing on defense and self-preservation.
On the other hand, Yu Qingtan had not yet completely purified Dongxu's Divine Sense imprint from the Geng tal Shadowless Needle when a mass of earthy yellow fog enveloped her.
The one who made his move, unsurprisingly, was the rogue cultivator from Sakura Island, Soil Fatty Round. With the unfolding situation on the battlefield, Real Person Dongxu, while attacking Baili Ya, had sent a telepathic ssage to Soil Fatty Round to strike at Yu Qingtan. Hesitant due to his wariness of Tan Suqin and Real Person Yusui, Soil Fatty Round hesitated. However, seeing Dongxu taking on two opponents and Real Person Yusui remaining on the sidelines, Soil Fatty Round decisively made up his mind to assassinate Yu Qingtan without further delay.
