Hmph.
"The Capital City Zhang Family cannot leave the Capital, but if you co to them willingly, they'll show you what the Capital City Zhang Family is truly like."
If Chen Qiu does not co to participate in the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard competition, they'll have to wait until the competition is over and the Zhang Family no longer needs to be responsible for the safety of the Capital before they can freely capture Bai Yi."
...
Inside the Flower Offering Sect.
Above the Heavenly Girl's cave dwelling in the sky, the Sect Master of the Flower Offering Sect was standing midway in the air with his figure concealed along with the Great Elder, who slightly furrowed his brows and looked down into the cave, expressing his doubts about the Heavenly Girl.
"Sect Master, have we been tornting the Heavenly Girl too harshly during this period?"
"If you really dislike her, Sect Master, you could simply kill her, so why bother with such trouble?"
"..."
The Sect Master of the Flower Offering Sect, with one hand behind his back, had no hint of lust on his face but rely looked down at the badly injured Heavenly Girl in the cave below and after a long silence, finally spoke softly.
"Cannot kill."
"I can't tell you more, but I can tell you this much: there's a high-ranking official in the palace who commanded to do this."
"As long as we align ourselves with that high-ranking official, the future of the Flower Offering Sect will be boundless."
"In the palace?"
After a long frown, the Great Elder shook his head uneasily and said, "Sect Master, you are well aware of the kinds of people in the palace, cooperating with them seldom ends well."
"I know." Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
The Sect Master nodded and continued, "But... at least we do not need to pay any price, it's just tornting the Heavenly Girl and ensuring she doesn't die."
The Great Elder did not speak again, but still felt sowhat uneasy.
No price?
In this world, there is nothing without a cost.
...
At that mont, the Heavenly Girl below in the cave, covered in wounds, lay there, her expression dazed as she stared at the hairpin that Little Fatty had given to her, and after a while, she carefully took out pink reeds from her storage ring and spread them on the stone bed.
She lay down on them.
The piercing pain made her lips unconsciously twitch.
She didn't mind.
She just turned her head to look outside the cave at the sky full of stars and murmured,
"Little Fatty..."
"You've been quite impressive lately."
And in the part of her Tao Foundation that even the Heavenly Girl herself could not see, a rather strange Red Spider Lily was slowly blooming, rooting itself deep within the Tao Foundation and continuously drawing Spiritual Energy from within her Dantian.
If Chen Qiu were here.
He would find this Red Spider Lily strikingly identical to the Eight-petal Fire Lotus he had obtained from the Underground Fire Sea within the Endless Desert.
Only one was entirely composed of flas.
And the other was ford from a dense, extre blackness of death.
...
In the Endless Desert, inside the Underground Fire Sea.
A young man cloaked in a cape, his face indiscernible, stood unconcernedly in the middle of the Fire Sea, expressionlessly looking towards a spot not far from him, where a mature Eight-petal Fire Lotus should have been found, but now it was nowhere to be seen.
Where could one see an Eight-petal Fire Lotus.
Only a trembling, fear-filled figure lay beside an enormous tiger.
After a long silence, the young man finally uttered lightly: "Useless."
A massive surge of Spiritual Energy burst from his sleeve, slamming heavily onto the tiger beneath the Fire Sea.
With this single strike.
The rather formidable looking tiger instantly turned into innurable pieces of flesh and blood that were consud by the relentless Fire Sea, leaving nothing behind.
...
An hour later.
The scholar, carrying injuries, tumbled out from the Inheritance Secret Realm, his movent awakening Chen Qiu. The scholar sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at Chen Qiu breathlessly, "I made a mistake, but this ti it will definitely work!"
Then he imdiately closed his eyes and swallowed a Healing Pill.
Beginning to heal on the spot.
Thirty minutes later.
He rushed back into the Inheritance Secret Realm without looking back.
Two hours later, the scholar fell out of the secret realm again, his injuries more serious than before, but this ti there was excitent on his face: "Brother Qiu, I've already grasped the threshold of the fourth level."
"I have a feeling, the Sword Cultivator inheritance is very, very close to now!"
Another two hours passed.
The sky had already brightened.
Chen Qiu lifted his head to look at the persistent dark clouds above, it was already daylight, but it remained dark around him, the Boundless Icefield was continuously shrouded in black clouds, nearly blocking all light, due to it not penetrating deep into the Boundless Icefield, there was still a bit of light.
As it went deeper into the depths of the Endless Icefield, then there would truly be no light seen.
Utter darkness.
As if you were the only person in the entire world.
Another two hours later.
This ti the scholar ca out, still bearing injuries but with a self-satisfied smile, and took out a storage ring from his bosom to hand over to Chen Qiu.
"Brother Qiu."
"I didn't disappoint you; I've passed through the Sword Cultivator inheritance, sothing I never thought I would manage in my lifeti, a feat unachieved by anyone for over a thousand years."
"Thank you, Brother Qiu; without the techniques you shared with , I might never have cleared it in my lifeti."
Chen Qiu accepted the storage ring, his Divine Sense probing inside and seeing the quietly lying Nascent Soul body, he too smiled.
It was accomplished.
Three Nascent Soul bodies, gathered.
Nine second-grade Golden Cores, also gathered.
All assembled.
"No need to thank ."
Chen Qiu looked at the scholar without taking credit but with a flicker of anticipation shook his head; in truth, if Old Man Cao hadn't shared the techniques for clearing the other inheritances with him, he wouldn't have known them.
Although he didn't know why Old Man Cao told him the techniques for the other inheritances, it was indeed very helpful to him.
The next mont—
The few of them vanished on the spot and burrowed into the small world, leaving behind only a pile of extinguished campfires.
