Li Lingxi approached the divine tree, her eyes fixed on the figure in white sitting beneath it.
She asked with disbelief, “I’ve seen him; he’s impressive indeed.
But that kid’s body cultivation… has it really reached the Body Venerable Realm? Did he really achieve this in less than a year? Are you sure you’re not lying to ?”
The tone in her voice held a trace of incredulity.
Hearing her question, the white-clad woman beneath the Divine Tree instantly opened her eyes, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
“If I hadn’t t him when he was just a poor, down-and-out scholar, a complete nobody, and saw the kind of achievent he has now, I wouldn’t have believed it either,” the woman, Shuang Jiang, replied with a smile.
“But this is the truth. From the first level of Qi Refining, to just beginning the path of Body Cultivation, and now, in less than a year, this is where he stands.”
Li Lingxi frowned again, still unable to fully accept it.
“Shuang Jiang, you stubborn girl, do you dare to swear an oath to heaven?” Li Lingxi asked once again.
The woman before her was indeed Shuang Jiang, the very sa one who had helped Su Jingzhen unlock the system in Linjiang City and briefly played the role of his Dao Companion.
Back then, Shuang Jiang had been sowhat downcast and desolate.
But now, with every gesture, the Shuang Jiang before her exuded an aura of divine majesty.
If Su Jingzhen saw this scene, he would probably be shocked.
I would also feel amazed at how thick the thigh he hugged was when he first started cultivating immortality.
Hearing Li Lingxi’s words, without a mont’s hesitation, Shuang Jiang raised one hand to the heavens and the other to the earth and swore a celestial oath to prove that what she said was true.
Li Lingxi stood there in stunned silence.
For cultivators of her caliber, a Heavenly Oath was a binding, irrevocable bond. No one would make such a vow unless the truth was beyond doubt.
“Could this be the legendary Chosen One?” Still in shock, Li Lingxi muttered to herself.
“If that’s the case, then the classics you showed earlier, the ones imbued with the rhythm of the Dao, must have co from his hands as well.”
Li Lingxi paused for a mont, then thoughtfully continued, “I have heard that so chosen ones could sense the profound truths of the universe even before they began their cultivation or when they were still mortals.
With the influence of the Dao’s montum, no matter what cultivation path they take-be it qi refining, body cultivation, or even spirit cultivation or alchemy-everything is enhanced by the heavens themselves.”
“Su Jingzhen is probably one of those people. Such great fortune and destiny… With my abilities, it would be impossible to guide him on the path of Dan Dao.
I’m well aware of my own limitations. Even though I am at the 9th grade, just one step away from breaking through to the Saint level, I cannot teach him anything.”
“I don’t dare to interfere with the path that Heaven has already laid out for him.
Such a person only needs material resources to aid in his growth-there’s no need to provide any guidance. His entire cultivation is preordained.”
As Li Lingxi spoke, her expression was filled with deep admiration and awe.
Shuang Jiang nodded slightly, offering no verbal response, but seemingly accepting Li Lingxi’s words as truth.
Their musings helped explain the mysterious presence of Su Jingzhen’s system, offering a perfect rationale for it.
Even for soone like Li Lingxi, one of the peak cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World, the existence of such a system was beyond imagination.
“What are you planning to do now?” Li Lingxi asked.
“Do you want to bring them back to your Frozen Ice Domain? Personally, I think my place here is much more suitable for them than your cold and desolate domain,”
Despite not having the intention to take Su Jingzhen and the others as disciples or guide them in any way, Li Lingxi still hoped that they would stay within the Divine Dan Realm.
Li Lingxi’s response wasn’t out of any particular reason, but she truly felt that Su Jingzhen and his group were more suited to stay here.
However, Shuang Jiang simply replied with indifference, “The Dan Dao is ultimately a small path.”
“Are you really planning on having him enter the Dao through alchemy?”
This simple, indifferent statent from Shuang Jiang instantly triggered Li Lingxi’s temper.
“Say that again!”
In an instant, the aura around Li Lingxi surged, her killing intent palpable.
As a 9th grade alchemist, only one step away from breaking through to Saint grade, she would never allow anyone to disparage the Dan Dao.
Yet, Shuang Jiang rely cast a brief glance at her.
“The Immortal Cultivation World ultimately respects martial arts. How about we spar? If you can beat , then I’ll admit that the Dan Dao is the true Dao. How about it?”
“You…”
Li Lingxi fell silent when it ca to the matter of a fight.
Shuang Jiang smiled faintly and said, “Alright, let’s talk about sothing serious. Do you really feel confident this ti?
Do you think these people will actually show up for your so-called Dan Dao grand event?”
When Shuang Jiang spoke these words, her expression beca a bit more serious.
Upon hearing this, Li Lingxi’s expression also beca serious.
“When the Yunng Goddess first awakened, I could already sense so movents from over there,” Li Lingxi said.
“This ti, with Su Jingzhen and the others as bait, they can’t possibly remain indifferent.
After all, there was an ancient agreent between the Divine Dan Realm and them.
Even though these guys are far from impressive, they are still trustworthy.”
“I just don’t know what kind of people they will send. Perhaps, so of your old enemies might be among them.”
Li Lingxi paused before adding, “Speaking of which, you almost died at their hands last ti. Have you fully recovered in just under a year?
This ti, if you’re not up to the task, it could end in disaster.”
As Li Lingxi spoke these words, a shadow of darkness appeared on Shuang Jiang’s face.
She unconsciously touched her face, as if still feeling the countless scars that had once been there.
“Don’t worry,” she said softly, “Although I was indeed caught off guard last ti, I consider it a blessing in disguise. If we face them again, the outco will certainly be different.”
“I’m not worried about . What I’m concerned about is you, the Sect Master of the Divine Dan Sect.
With all the events that have happened recently, I wonder if you can maintain control.
I just hope that when everything is settled, we won’t end up with a fire in your backyard.”
Li Lingxi remained unfazed by this, “Although my position as sect master did co with a lot of controversy, those people aren’t going to turn on over that.
After all, I know that Dantai Mingjing has never cared about this position.”
“And in certain matters, our goals coincide.
If it weren’t for his covert operations back then, I wouldn’t have been able to secure my position as sect master so smoothly.
If things really escalate to the extent you fear, Dantai Mingjing will definitely step in to help . You don’t have to worry about that.”
Shuang Jiang nodded in understanding, feeling much more reassured.
Then she smiled, “In that case, I believe you. It’s been a while since we last t, let see what that guy is up to.”
With these words, Shuang Jiang let her divine consciousness expand outward.
However, after just a brief mont, her expression shifted slightly and she fell silent, no longer speaking.
