87: Those three major lineages are targeting me!

Fang Qingyao's eyes were filled with love and inferiority.

She truly loved Xu Jinhuan, valuing this man more than her own life.

But precisely because of this, she had to leave.

Because her Eye of Destiny told her that her enemies had united, discussing how to target the Taiyi Holy Land and Xu Jinhuan!

Those were three Holy Lands, three Immortal Dao Lineages with long Legacies and powerful strength!

No matter how high Xu Jinhuan's talent, no matter how prosperous the Taiyi Holy Land, with these three behemoths obstructing them, it would be difficult for him to grow.

She couldn't bring her misfortune to Xu Jinhuan, or to the Taiyi Holy Land!

The best way was for her to leave, to sacrifice herself, to appease the wrath of the Three Great Holy Lands, and to buy Xu Jinhuan time to grow.

"Before I leave, should I ask Revered Master to detoxify me one more time?"

A restlessness emerged deep within Fang Qingyao's body, and her heart burned. Just recalling their past intimacy made her feel flustered and infatuated.

But in the end, she suppressed her inner desires.

"Indeed, let's just forget it. If it happens again, I'm afraid I won't be able to extricate myself and will be unwilling to leave..."

...Xu Jinhuan's comprehension of Nirvana also came to an end. His body was calm and still, completely merged with the environment, in perfect harmony with nature.

He was clearly sitting in the room, yet when one looked, his presence couldn't be found, as if he didn't exist in this world at all.

At this moment, Xu Jinhuan himself was emptiness!

"Crossing all suffering and calamity, the The Empty Realm of the Other Shore."

"So the end of the true meaning of Nirvana actually hides such a profound Realm. It's truly incredible!"

The moment he emerged from his enlightenment, a sense of loss welled up in his heart, as if he had suddenly fallen from a carefree paradise into the muddy depths of the mortal world.

But this emotion lasted only for an instant before he thoroughly resolved and digested it, his state of mind returning to clarity, no longer harboring any confusion.

Along with it, the Realm of Emptiness was also digested.

Xu Jinhuan had completely comprehended this Realm.

From then on, he could clearly perceive and control all his desires, fears, and fluctuations of thought at will.

Of course, this didn't mean he would completely sever emotions and desires, becoming a cold machine that only knew how to Cultivate.

Control is not suppression; completely suppressing one's desires is a foolish, indiscriminate act that falls into a lower category and easily gives rise to Heart Demons.

Work and rest in balance, indulging when appropriate and restraining when necessary—this is the true Realm of Emptiness, the Realm of Control.

With a thought.

A vast, ancient, terrifying pressure that seemed capable of crushing all heavens erupted from him!

Behind him, indistinct phantoms of Immortal Beasts such as Kunpeng striking the sea, Golden-Winged Great Peng tearing the sky, and True Dragon roaring overlapped and emerged. Furthermore, a profound Concept of all things returning to ruin and all laws becoming empty permeated the air.

He seemed to have transformed into a deity who created heaven and earth, and also into emptiness itself, devouring everything!

He was the origin and the end of the world and the Universe!

Although he was still at the Peak of the Heaven-Man Realm, his strength was already incomparable!

"After comprehending this Realm, my combat power has increased by at least three times!"

Xu Jinhuan felt the surging power within him and the clarity of his Divine Soul, a surge of joy welling up in his heart.

Emerging from his enlightenment, he was about to go out for a walk when his Revered Master's voice transmission reached his ears.

"You brat, your first follower, and second woman, seems to be trying to sneak away. Do you want to try and keep her?"

Hearing this news, Xu Jinhuan was startled.

Hmm? Has Fang Qingyao encountered some problem? Why is she suddenly trying to sneak away?

He couldn't let her leave inexplicably.

"Revered Master, where is Senior Sister Qingyao?"

Xu Jinhuan asked in his heart.

"It's no use explaining to an oaf like you. Just see for yourself."

Li Qingyue's cold and noble voice sounded. The next moment, a scene of Fang Qingyao appeared in Xu Jinhuan's mind.

Fang Qingyao's beautiful and peerless figure was weaving through the crowd, speeding towards the outer reaches of the Taiyi Holy Land. To avoid alarming anyone, she didn't even dare to use the Holy Land's teleportation array, relying entirely on her own cultivation to travel.

This gave Xu Jinhuan an Opportunity to catch up.

The Taiyi Holy Land's territory was vast and boundless. Fang Qingyao, with her current Heavenly Being Realm cultivation, might not even be able to completely leave the Holy Land's range even if she traveled day and night for three days and three nights.

Without time to think, a pair of golden wings suddenly condensed behind Xu Jinhuan. The wings shimmered with the phantoms of Kunpeng and Golden-Winged Great Peng, and his body was enveloped in a hazy light shield. Like a fish in water, like a bird returning to the forest, with a gentle flash, his figure had already appeared ten thousand miles away!

This was the ultimate speed achieved by the Fusion of Kunpeng's Extreme Speed and the Golden-Winged Great Peng's Divine Ability!

In terms of speed alone, he was now no less inferior to those God King Realm powerhouses known for their speed!

In just a few breaths, Xu Jinhuan traversed tens of thousands of miles of territory, appearing like a golden streak of light directly in front of Fang Qingyao, blocking her path.

"Senior Sister Qingyao, why are you leaving without a word? This isn't like you. Did something happen?"

A familiar gentle voice echoed in Fang Qingyao's ears.

Unlike before, this time there was no brain-numbing satisfaction, nor was there that damned mirror that made her feel utterly mortified... Fang Qingyao was a little unaccustomed to it for a moment, instinctively pressing her thighs together.

"No, nothing. I just saw an Opportunity and wanted to explore it myself."

Fang Qingyao spoke the words she had already prepared.

She had already thought of an excuse, trying to create an image of selfishness to make Xu Jinhuan disappointed in her, thereby giving up on keeping her.

Her acting was realistic enough, her voice carrying just the right amount of panic, much like a timid thief caught red-handed during a burglary.

However, Xu Jinhuan now commanded the The Empty Realm of the Other Shore, observing all details with keen insight. How could he not see that she was lying?

Without further ado, he grabbed Fang Qingyao's wrist, pulled the beauty into his arms, and pressed her, saying:

"Hehe, Senior Sister Qingyao is unwilling to tell the truth? Very good. I hope your mouth can remain this tight later."

Hearing these words, Fang Qingyao immediately misunderstood, and her heart rate suddenly accelerated.

"Revered Master, I..."

Before she could finish, Fang Qingyao's mouth was covered by a large hand.

The scenery changed in a blur, things around her flashed by like streaks of light, and the next moment she was back on Eastern Emperor Mountain, back on that familiar battlefield.

The mirror was still dirty, the traces of the last battle particularly striking.

Just looking at it, Fang Qingyao's mouth watered, and she unconsciously swallowed, her throat itching, her heart filled with extreme trepidation.

Extreme shyness and a hidden desire intertwined.

Revered Master's temptation was simply too overwhelming!

After tasting that flavor, no woman could refuse!

"M-Revered Master, don't..."

Although she verbally refused, Fang Qingyao's body was very honest. She had already coiled her long hair, bent down on one knee, and actively approached... The sun was high in the sky.

Xu Jinhuan's hand gently rested on her flawless body's waist, causing Fang Qingyao to twist and bend her waist like a shrimp in a pot.

"M-Revered Master, please, please spare Qingyao..."

"My... my waist is about to break..."

Fang Qingyao bit her red lips tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with allure, her body trembling from overexertion.

"So, can you tell me why now?"

Xu Jinhuan asked teasingly.

"I could have a long time ago..."

Hearing this question, Fang Qingyao glared fiercely at Xu Jinhuan, her face a mix of shame and annoyance.

She had been ready to surrender and confess everything from the very beginning.

But that naughty guy had covered her mouth then, not letting her speak! Later, when he let go, her throat could only make 'ohoho' sounds... He was truly too naughty... "Revered Master, my eyes saw the three Holy Lands uniting, planning to target the Taiyi Holy Land. This matter originated because of me, so naturally, I should be the one to resolve it. Please, Revered Master, grant me this."

"Revered Master, I... I cannot implicate you! Those are the Three Great Holy Lands! You have a great future ahead, capable of suppressing the starry Universe. You shouldn't be cut short because of an ordinary woman like me..."

Even at this moment, Fang Qingyao still wanted to sacrifice herself for Xu Jinhuan's safety.

But her sincere devotion was met with an exasperated slap from Xu Jinhuan.

Pia~

A prominent red handprint appeared on her plump, beautiful bottom.

"Stupid! Am I the kind of person who abandons women and lives alone in cowardice? You've underestimated your man!"

"I said I would protect you. Your enemies are my enemies. How could you give up first?"

"Moreover, do you think by leaving alone to face those three Dao Lineages, you can protect me and spare the Taiyi Holy Land from disaster?"

"What a foolish woman!"

Xu Jinhuan was so angry he almost wanted to press this woman to the ground and rub her.

But considering she had been pressed to the ground several times not long ago and her body was already at its limit, he refrained.

Immortal Dao Lineages would not easily turn hostile. Even when the Blood God Palace suffered the loss of a Great Saint Realm expert and a quasi-emperor weapon at the hands of the Red Lotus Heavenly Palace recently, they dared not openly provoke the Red Lotus Heavenly Palace further.

A mere Fang Qingyao was even less worth the Three Great Holy Lands' Dao Lineages making a big fuss and challenging the Taiyi Holy Land.

"The only possibility is that the target of those three Dao Lineages is me!"

Xu Jinhuan sneered, exposing the truth behind it.

"They are wary of my talent and want to nip me in the bud. You are merely an excuse they found; even without you, they would still make their move."

Hearing this explanation, Fang Qingyao felt slightly better, but still deeply guilty.

"Revered Master, I..."

She wanted to say more, but Xu Jinhuan sealed her cherry lips.

A wisp of Chaos Qi entered her body, rapidly repairing all damaged parts.

"Alright, you rest well. The Original Supreme Secret Treasure opens in a month. We'll depart in half a month, so don't be leaning against the wall by then."

After transferring several wisps of Chaos Qi into Fang Qingyao's body and confirming that she would recover, Xu Jinhuan left with peace of mind.

Inside the room, looking at that magnificent and handsome back, Fang Qingyao's heart was filled with sweetness and shock.

As his intimate companion, she could clearly feel that Xu Jinhuan's strength had once again undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Revered Master has grown stronger again..."

"And, my cultivation also..."

Unbeknownst to her, she had already passed the Life and Death Trial, comprehended the true meaning of Nirvana, and made a Breakthrough to the Life and Death Realm.
