210: Chapter 210 Feng Qingzhu

Several months later.

Deep within the Void Realm.

A massive Chaos Green Lotus bloomed, and Li Qing and the Woman in Green emerged from it, both radiating hongmeng purple qi.

"Congratulations, you have achieved your wish."

Li Qing looked at the Woman in Green and smiled.

"I must go and preside over the operations of the world now."

The Woman in Green glanced at Li Qing and vanished instantly.

"I'll come find you for Dual Cultivation with the Dao when I have time!"

Li Qing laughed.

"Fine."

A voice like celestial music echoed through the Void Realm, surprisingly carrying a hint of warmth.

Li Qing took a step forward, directly piercing through the terrifying spatial barriers to arrive in an unfamiliar starry sky; behind him was the barrier of a boundless Great World.

A terrifying force of spatial distortion tried to crush Li Qing, but it was blocked by the hongmeng purple qi on his body.

"As expected, to go to the Hongmeng Great World..."

"One must reach the Grandmist Rank."

"I wonder how Little Gu is doing."

"Has he kicked the bucket yet?"

Li Qing smiled faintly.

He took a step and appeared near a boundless Grandmist Purple Vortex, plunging directly into it.

Space was stretched at extreme speeds, and terrifying spatial shredding appeared once more. Li Qing felt that even if a Great Heavenly Venerable came here, they would be instantly turned to ash.

Perhaps a long time passed, or perhaps it was just an instant.

Li Qing appeared within a Great World, his entire body crashing toward the ground like a lead weight.

The spatial density here was thousands of times higher than in the Immortal Realm.

Li Qing: "..."

[Ding! The System has detected that the Host has successfully reached the Hongmeng Great World.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully turning himself back into a member of the 'Newbie Village'.]

[Ding! The System has detected that the Host's cultivation Rank is the Grandmist Purple Qi Realm.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for triggering one Hongmeng Great World Gift Pack.]

"There's even a gift pack?"

Li Qing struggled to stand up from the ground.

He was still a bit unaccustomed to the weight.

"Open it and see."

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host: the pure yang sword has been promoted to the Grandmist Purple Qi Sword.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 1.5 million Grandmist Low Grade Purple Crystals.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the skill 'Grandmist Light as a Swallow'.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one Lucky Encounter.]

In an instant, Li Qing felt his whole body lighten, as if the sensation of carrying several great mountains had vanished.

"It has to be you, System."

[Ding! Host, the System is good to you, right?]

"What use is 'Light as a Swallow'? If I could fly, it might be barely acceptable."

System: "..."

[This is the Hongmeng Great World, after all.]

[Great, now he's gone from being able to fly and tunnel through the earth to being a grounded chicken.]

[But there was no choice; he had to come.]

[Even someone stronger than the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm would be nothing but an ant before a Cultivator of this Great World, let alone a Great Heavenly Venerable.]

[Furthermore, a Great World is not indestructible.]

[Once a world is destroyed, no Great Heavenly Venerable or Lesser Heavenly Venerable can escape.]

[To live, and to live longer, one must constantly become stronger.]

*Hum.*

Just then, the clouds in the sky suddenly surged, and a massive cloud vortex emerged. A huge rift appeared in the void, and a giant black claw reached out from it. A world-destroying force blasted into the Grandmist world.

"Vile beast!"

"How dare you!"

A feminine shout rang out between heaven and earth. A figure wreathed in purple qi appeared near the giant claw, and a purple light of Sword Qi flashed out, severing the giant claw in a single strike.

*Boom.*

Suddenly, a bolt of Chaos light shot out from the rift, sending the purple-shrouded figure flying with one hit.

"World-Devouring Beast!"

[Holy crap.]

[How did a World-Devouring Beast end up here in the Hongmeng Great World?]

[But this thing is injured; it should stay away from this sector of the starry sky.]

[To be able to wound a World-Devouring Beast with one sword strike, this cultivation level must be that of a powerhouse even in the Hongmeng Great World.]

*Boom.*

Several nearby mountain peaks were leveled. The figure tumbled through the air and landed in a bamboo forest not far from Li Qing.

Without overthinking, Li Qing moved his body and flew into the bamboo forest.

Not long after.

Li Qing appeared near a large crater, where a beautiful woman in blue was lying and twitching.

He jumped down into the crater, just about to check the blue-clad woman's injuries.

*Shua.*

A longsword shimmering with purple light was pressed directly against Li Qing's throat.

"Dare to touch me..."

"...and you die."

The blue-clad woman looked at Li Qing with cold eyes.

"No, I was just—"

*Puff.*

The blue-clad woman's mouth suddenly opened, and she sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood.

*Clang.*

Her jade-like hand loosened, and the longsword fell to the ground.

The blue-clad woman's head tilted, and she passed out completely.

Li Qing: "..."

[Should I save her, or not?]

Li Qing looked depressed.

If I don't save her...

The blue-clad woman was injured while protecting the Grandmist Realm.

If I do save her...

She'll probably wake up and try to kill me.

[I'll run as soon as I'm done saving her.]

[I'm so smart.]

Li Qing began to examine the blue-clad woman's injuries; they were severe, but treatable.

The problem was that the Chaos light had hit her right in the chest, which was a bit awkward.

However, to save a life, Li Qing couldn't care about such things.

Fortunately, his several Venerable wives had given him many life-saving Immortal Pills; using them to treat her wouldn't be a big problem.

Li Qing was a man of his word.

After treating the injuries, he took off running.

A moment later, the blue-clad woman woke up.

She was dazed for a second, then looked at her chest. Her expression changed instantly, a red blush rapidly surfaced, and a towering rage welled up in her eyes.

But this anger only lasted for a moment before gradually fading away.

She remained silent for a while, then slowly stood up from the ground.

*Roar!*

Just then, a terrifying roar echoed nearby, accompanied by a wave of air that swept through. Many bamboo stalks were snapped by the force.

"Grandmist Beast."

The blue-clad woman's gaze narrowed. She took a step and vanished.

At the same time.

Li Qing was looking at a giant snake with a face full of depression. How did he end up encountering a Grandmist Demon Snake?

And it was at the Hongmeng Foundation Refining Realm, one level higher than his cultivation.

Don't be fooled by it being only the Hongmeng Foundation Refining Realm; if this snake left the Grandmist world, it could directly destroy the Immortal Realm.

Unfortunately, this snake could not leave the Hongmeng Great World.

Li Qing flipped his hand, revealing a longsword radiating hongmeng purple qi. Just as he was about to act—

*Shua.*

A figure flashed nearby, and the giant head of the Grandmist Demon Snake soared into the sky.

The blue-clad woman appeared near Li Qing, her star-like beautiful eyes looking at him indifferently.

[Crap, how did she wake up so fast?]

[I'm doomed. She's not going to cleave me with her sword, is she?]

That voice...

She didn't open her mouth.

Inner thoughts?

The blue-clad woman was startled.

"You were the one who treated the wound on my chest?"

The blue-clad woman asked indifferently.

"Uh... yes."

Li Qing admitted.

"You saw everything?"

The blue-clad woman's expression suddenly turned cold.

"No, I was just..."

"My name is Feng Qingzhu."

Li Qing: "..."

[This reaction isn't right.]

[Wait.]

[Feng Qingzhu!]

[Holy crap, she's the first female protagonist of the Hongmeng Great World!]

[According to the original plot, the one who saves her should be Gu Beichen.]

[How did it become me?]

[In the original plot, Gu Beichen directly made a move on the unconscious Feng Qingzhu and forced Dual Cultivation on her.]

[The cliché part is that when Feng Qingzhu woke up, she actually developed feelings for him. Does that make any sense?]

[It makes no sense, Author!]

It really is his inner thoughts.

Who is Gu Beichen?

Trash who takes advantage of people in peril.

Feng Qingzhu's gaze turned cold.

"Come with me."

Feng Qingzhu glanced at Li Qing and sat down on a nearby bluestone.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment before following her.

To his surprise, Feng Qingzhu pulled her blue garment halfway down, turning her back to Li Qing, revealing a scar from the Chaos light.

"You missed a spot."

"No touching allowed."

Li Qing: "..."
