685: Ling Xuejiu, Li Yushu

Being mocked so openly, Yun Ting was naturally quite displeased, but there was nothing he could do.

Ling Xuejiu is not only one of the two Holy Maidens of Fengyun Holy Land, but also has a powerful Family behind her—the Immortal Ling Family!

The Ling Family is an immortal Family in the Myriad Domains Starry Sky, having also produced Great Emperors, and possesses an extremely long and ancient historical foundation.

Ling Xuejiu's decision to join Fengyun Holy Land for cultivation was naturally due to the good relationship between the Ling Family and Fengyun Holy Land.

The Sect Master of Fengyun Holy Land, His Dao Companion and wife, was precisely a direct descendant of the Immortal Ling Family, and was also in the realm of an extraordinary Quasi-Emperor.

Therefore, Ling Xuejiu's status in Fengyun Holy Land was quite high.

Aside from her identity as a Holy Maiden, her peerless beauty and talent, and her powerful cultivation and exceptional aptitude, her status as a direct descendant of the Immortal Ling Family alone made it so no one dared to provoke her!

Ling Xuejiu, upon arriving at Fengyun Holy Land, was directly established as a Holy Maiden, and no one could contend with her!

As for the other Holy Maiden, she had risen step by step on her own. Although her strength was not inferior to Ling Xuejiu's, her background was far from comparable.

Of course, Ling Xuejiu herself was an extremely terrifying Phoenix Maiden of the Heavens, possessing formidable strength. Even though she was directly established as a Holy Maiden, she had long since proven herself, and no one dared to speak ill of her.

“Forget it…”

Yun Ting's mood was gloomy, and he finally shook his head. He did indeed admire this cold and aloof Holy Maiden, and a significant part of his objective was to gain the support of the Immortal Ling Family.

If he could establish a connection with the Immortal Ling Family, then his future control over Fengyun Holy Land would be a foregone conclusion.

But clearly, this direct descendant of the Immortal Ling Family was difficult to win over! Too cold, too arrogant!

Yun Ting himself could feel that she didn't think much of him at all, not even bothering to look him in the eye.

“Hmph, this time at the Source Beginning Divine Mine, I will definitely break through before you! By then, I will surely make you look at me with new eyes!”

Yun Ting still had confidence in his heart and was not disheartened.

Of course, he dared not harbor any ill intentions towards Ling Xuejiu, but he wanted to rely on himself to truly earn respect and carve out his own path!

…

At another immortal peak where a Holy Maiden cultivated in Fengyun Holy Land, compared to Ling Xuejiu's immortal peak, this place had blooming peach blossoms and circling immortal cranes, appearing even more dreamlike.

Coming here felt like arriving at an otherworldly paradise, beautiful beyond compare. Even living in seclusion here would be quite pleasant.

A stunning young woman in a sky-blue silk dress sat cross-legged amidst a peach forest with gurgling streams, quietly engrossed in her cultivation.

The young woman had beautiful eyebrows and eyes like water, extremely graceful, and her sparkling eyes also held a hint of pride and vivacity.

If the young woman were to look down, her toes would be difficult to see, simply because her figure was quite impressive.

The young woman's name was Li Yushu, and she was precisely the other Holy Maiden of Fengyun Holy Land!

In fact, strictly speaking, she rose from the bottom, passing through layers of assessments in Fengyun Holy Land, emerging as a Holy Maiden from countless competitors!

“Junior Sister Li, I am Yun Ting, and I have something to discuss.”

Outside the immortal peak, Yun Ting's voice could be heard.

Li Yushu had not arranged any maidservants on her cultivation peak; she disliked being served, or rather, she was unaccustomed and uncomfortable with it.

Hearing Yun Ting's voice, Li Yushu opened her sparkling beautiful eyes, and a hint of playful cleverness appeared.

“Yun Ting?”

Li Yushu subtly raised her delicate brows, and her figure quickly darted out.

Gazing at Yun Ting outside, she asked, “Senior Brother Yun, what is the matter?”

Yun Ting smiled slightly, looking at the playful, resilient, and strong-willed young woman before him, and asked:

“We are about to depart for the Source Beginning Divine Mine. Does Junior Sister Li have any plans?”

“How about we explore the Divine Mine together, hand in hand, Senior Brother and I?”

Yun Ting did not want to put all his eggs in one basket. If Ling Xuejiu didn't fancy him, he would try Li Yushu. In fact, he appreciated women like Li Yushu more, those who relied on themselves rather than their background.

Because he also didn't have a powerful background; his Family, the Yun Family, was merely an ordinary Quasi-Emperor Family in the North Dipper Star Sea, without even an extraordinary Quasi-Emperor.

So, he felt a sense of camaraderie towards Li Yushu.

“Well, about that…”

Li Yushu's eyes were nimble, and she rolled her pupils.

She wasn't particularly interested in Yun Ting. Although they were both Holy Maidens and Holy Sons, she had no intention of becoming Dao Companions with him whatsoever.

They were not the right type; anything more would be futile!

Li Yushu slyly smiled, “Has Senior Brother Yun sought out Senior Sister Ling yet? If Senior Sister Ling goes, then I will go too.”

Hearing this, Yun Ting's expression became slightly awkward, and he said bashfully, “You know Senior Sister Ling's personality; she never likes to travel with others. She plans to explore alone…”

“Oh, is that so? Then I'll explore alone too! Senior Sister Ling is my role model; I want to follow her example!”

“Senior Brother Yun, you should go back and prepare well first. I also have a Dao technique to comprehend. No more talking!”

With that, Li Yushu's slightly petite figure vanished.

“…”

Yun Ting's expression stiffened, and he secretly snorted, leaving in a huff.

Little did he know.

Having climbed up from the bottom, how could Li Yushu not see through Yun Ting's intentions?

Self-protection was an essential skill for Li Yushu; she would not approach male Cultivators. Who knew if those scoundrels were harboring intentions towards her?

“I heard that the Source Beginning Divine Mine is very mysterious and ancient. It was once a battlefield, burying many inheritances. Perhaps…”

“There, I can find the Life Obscurity.”

Li Yushu's eyes were resolute and tenacious. A wisp of verdant green light wrapped around her fingertips, incredibly mysterious, as if filled with infinite vitality!

That's right, she had obtained one ten-thousandth of the Life Obscurity!

This was her greatest secret, and she had also received the inheritance of an ancient Life Supreme! The one ten-thousandth of the Life Obscurity originated from that Life Supreme!

The Way of Life is one of the most ancient Great Ways in the Vast Sky. Legend has it that it is related to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and most of the Life Obscurity might be within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

But some are also scattered throughout the Vast Sky.

With one ten-thousandth of the Life Obscurity, Li Yushu could always turn danger into safety. Even if she was severely injured, she could recover in a very short time. Furthermore, having accumulated enough energy, she could even resurrect the dead with the Life Supreme inheritance she received!

She learned from the Supreme's memory inheritance that Life Obscurity might be scattered in the Source Beginning Divine Mine.

Therefore, she had to go to the Source Beginning Divine Mine this time; her Opportunity lay there, and it was even more impossible for her to team up with anyone.

Doing so would only expose her secret.

“The other Holy Lands in the North Dipper Star Sea should also be going. In that case… this time, I must avenge myself against that woman who ambushed me last time!”

Li Yushu clenched her delicate fists, thinking to herself.

A stunning and beautiful figure appeared in her mind: the Demonic Maiden of the Heaven-Severing Holy Land!

Last time, in a mysterious Secret Realm in the North Dipper Star Sea, she was searching for a unique treasure. Who knew that the Demonic Maiden had already obtained it, and furthermore, the Demonic Maiden had set up an ambush specifically to harm her!

“That hateful Demonic Maiden, I must have my revenge!!!”
