154: Chapter 154 Immortal Zhou Yan

The purple light in the sky lingered for a long time. All things in heaven and earth felt genuine joy, rejoicing that someone in this world had once again successfully completed Undergoing Tribulation.

Zhao Yi looked up toward the Far West Land. Wasn't it said that one couldn't successfully complete Undergoing Tribulation without immortal fate?

Who was so fierce?

After a brief moment of distraction, Li Xuanye immediately recovered.

He continuously formed hand seals and muttered to himself, "Earthly expanse binds the form, heavenly constraints lock the spirit. Water sinks and fire confuses, metal enters and wood traps. The Nine Palaces cycle, circulating without end."

"Shrink!"

Following Li Xuanye's incantation, the originally formless and intangible Great Yin Meridian Array instantly transformed into a golden cage.

The immortal fate was trapped inside, charging left and right, even opening its bloody maw to try and devour the bars of the cage, but it was too late.

It exhausted all its strength, but with the waves of light flowing along the bars, its ability to devour heaven and earth simply could not be unleashed.

"Hmph!"

"Trapping Array: Land of the Moment."

A beam of white light trapped Mou Wuwang and the other Mahayana Spirit Clan members, preventing them from interfering with the Great Yin Meridian Array.

"Great Heavenly Sword Array."

Li Xuanye seemed a bit anxious, and with another cold snort, he summoned the Great Heavenly Sword Array.

Thousands of Dharma swords floated in mid-air. Though the swords remained motionless, countless sword beams flew out, piercing directly into the immortal fate inside the cage.

Unfortunately, the sword beams passed right through it, leaving the immortal fate completely unharmed. The Great Heavenly Sword Array was actually useless against it.

"Mystic Yang True Fire."

Under the reddish-brown flames, the immortal fate in the cage didn't even move an inch.

"Water of Returning Abyss."

A stream of black water appeared out of thin air, drenching the immortal fate in the cage thoroughly.

Li Xuanye...

"It still won't die?"

Not far away, Zhao Yi watched Li Xuanye. First the sword array, then roasting it with fire and dousing it with water—he had thought Li Xuanye was preparing some ultimate move, but it turned out he was just trying to kill that earthworm.

"Impervious to blades, spears, swords, and halberds, and immune to water and fire?"

"Idiot!"

"Try burying it in soil."

Zhao Yi thought his voice was very quiet, but Li Xuanye was nearly an Immortal; within a radius of a thousand miles, what could be hidden from him?

"Bury it in soil?"

"So you fear the earth attribute?"

Li Xuanye was puzzled. This immortal fate didn't come from a Spirit Stone mine, dug from within the mountain rocks? How could it fear soil after leaving it?

He didn't doubt it and immediately cast a spell: "Earth Soul Condensing Mountain Art."

With a point of his finger, countless blocks of yellow soil appeared out of thin air, falling into the cage and burying the immortal fate.

"No!"

A delicate shout came from afar, drawing near, but it was too late.

Hearing this voice, Li Xuanye's movements quickened a bit, increasing his output of magical power, and the original cage instantly turned into a mountain of earth.

Hearing this delicate shout, Mou Wuwang and the others trapped in the Land of the Moment were overjoyed.

"It's the Saintess coming to save us! She hasn't abandoned us; we are not discarded pawns."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Yi's muscles tightened. How many years had it been?

He thought he had forgotten, but he didn't expect that hearing it again, it still stung so much.

"Bang!"

A pink light appeared out of thin air, shattering the mountain of earth that buried the immortal fate, and also smashing the Great Yin Meridian Array.

Li Xuanye and the many Mahayana Cultivators who had set up the array flushed red, all having sustained minor injuries.

A figure, familiar to the point that Zhao Yi couldn't be more familiar with it, slowly appeared.

She flicked her finger, and Li Xuanye was instantly torn into pieces.

"It really is you, Spirit Clan Saintess Hongyan. Without immortal fate, how did you pass the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"

"Damn it, my immortal fate!"

Li Xuanye's voice traveled from near to far, then from far to near, appearing once more. He reached out to grab the immortal fate, which had recovered into a half-meter-long earthworm in mid-air.

"You don't know when you're beaten."

"Let you taste the power of the Borrowed Law Immortal Light."

A pink Immortal Light once again blasted Li Xuanye into pieces, and without losing momentum, it plunged into the Void Realm, leaving behind a pitch-black hole.

A few breaths later, Li Xuanye let out a miserable scream; there was no need to ask, this time it was definitely his true body that had been injured.

"And you all, I'll collect some interest first. When my Spirit Clan army arrives, that will be the day you die."

"Heavenly Fire Scatters."

"Die!"

Countless stones burning with Heavenly Fire fell from the sky, wiping out all the Mahayana Cultivators Li Xuanye had brought.

However, these Mahayana Cultivators were crafty; not a single one was their true body, they were all external Incarnations.

After finishing all this, the figure waved her hand, dispelling the trapping array on Mou Wuwang and the others.

She put away the half-meter-long earthworm and slowly turned to look at Zhao Yi.

That familiar face, the unforgettable fragrance, and the voice he missed in the dead of night were right before him.

"Let's reintroduce ourselves. Spirit Clan Saintess Zhou Yan, courtesy name Hongyan. My father is of the Human Race."

Zhao Yi felt neither sorrow nor joy.

"Oh, oh, hello there, Saintess!"

"Miner Zhao Yi."

Now it was Zhou Yan's turn to frown.

"Don't you recognize me? I am Zhou Yan."

"I recognize you, aren't you the Spirit Clan Saintess?"

"If it won't make the Saintess laugh, you look very similar to a 'friend with benefits' I once knew."

"But she is already dead."

"When she took all my possessions, she died."

Zhao Yi deliberately emphasized the words "friend with benefits."

"Friend with benefits?"

Zhou Yan...

"I know you hate me, but I had no choice."

Beside them, Mou Wuwang stretched his neck out long.

Heavens, what did he just hear? The Saintess and Zhao Yi knew each other?

But how was that possible? The Saintess hadn't left the Far West Land for hundreds of years.

"Wait, the Saintess's Clone had been out for over a decade. Could it be that it was the Clone..."

Mou Wuwang realized. As expected of a man who could dig out immortal fate, he really knew how to play. He could even bring himself to do it with a Clone.

Zhou Yan glared at Zhao Yi.

"I have already successfully completed Undergoing Tribulation. In ten years, once my Immortal body transformation is complete, I will leave the Qingling Realm."

Zhao Yi...

"Then congratulations to the Saintess."

He currently wanted absolutely nothing to do with Zhou Yan.

After all, he had slept with her.

But Zhao Yi had also paid the price; all his life savings of Spirit Stones and purple strange crystal stones had been swept clean by Zhou Yan.

Previously, Zhao Yi had rationalized it for himself, thinking that perhaps Zhou Yan was truly short on money, and he could let go of some Spirit Stones.

But now that he knew Zhou Yan was a Spirit Clan Saintess, could she possibly be short on Spirit Stones?

The only possibility was that she was toying with Zhao Yi.

In that case, what was there for Zhao Yi to hesitate about?

Part ways, and let them forget each other in the Jianghu.

This was how Zhou Yan differed from Bai Miyao: one was unintentional, the other intentional; one swindled money, the other swindled lives.

As for Bai Miyao, Zhao Yi was determined to kill her.

As for Zhou Yan~

Well, Zhao Yi admitted it: he just couldn't beat her. Looking at Li Xuanye's miserable state, how could he dare to have any thoughts?

A lack of strength is the reason why one feels aggrieved. Strength is RMB on Blue Star, and it is cultivation in the cultivation world.

Coincidentally, Zhao Yi's current cultivation level did not hold an advantage in front of Zhou Yan.

Holding a High-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand, this was Zhao Yi's confidence.

"If there is nothing else, I'll be leaving?"

The immortal fate was in Zhou Yan's hands, so Zhao Yi gave up the thought of snatching it.

He now only wanted to find a place to go into seclusion and achieve a Breakthrough in his cultivation.

He had wasted too much time on this damn immortal fate.

"No, you cannot leave!"

Zhou Yan finally revealed the overbearing side of a Saintess.

She waved her hand, and a pink Immortal Light instantly sealed Zhao Yi.

"Aren't you a Miner?"

"There happens to be a Spirit Stone mine in the Far West Land; I'll leave it to you."

Zhao Yi...

He would have to be crazy to go to the Far West Land to mine.

"Spirit Stone Traverse Art,"

"Spirit Stones connect to the profound, traversing without boundaries."

"Spell-breaking incantation: B"
