234: Chapter 234 No... Don't bully me...

Eternal Great World.

Yongji Mountains.

A pillar of light soared into the sky, shooting towards the firmament. The world's Chaos Qi was disturbed, surging like a tidal wave and sweeping in all directions.

Atop a giant peak.

Li Qing stood with his hands behind his back, watching the pillar of light that pierced the heavens.

After spending a few tender days with Feng Ji, he had come here.

"The god-burying map plot has begun."

[Ding! The System has detected that the melon is ripe. Congratulations to the Host for beginning to 'eat melons'.]

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar resounded, and two figures were spat out from the pillar of light.

It was actually a man and a woman.

The man was the one who had used the incense burner at the Gushan Auction House last time.

The woman was dressed in green and was extremely beautiful. Chaos Qi swirled around her, and she exuded the powerful aura of the Late Stage Perfection of an Eternal Dao Lord.

"Pfft!"

Just as the woman in green stabilized herself, a longsword thrust out from the Void Realm without warning, piercing through her chest.

"Boom!"

The woman in green reacted extremely quickly, lunging forward several steps to break free from the sword before turning to strike a palm toward the void behind her.

A person who looked exactly like the man nearby was blasted out of the void.

"Pfft!"

The woman in green opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

She looked down at her chest, where a sword wound had appeared, faint black energy swirling within it.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, that sword would have pierced her heart directly.

"eternal god king corpse poison."

"How despicable."

Faint corpse spots began to appear on the woman's face.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, bursts of rumbling erupted from beneath the Yongji Mountains.

"Someone is snatching the Opportunity."

"Don't worry about her."

The two men immediately abandoned the woman in green and rushed into the pillar of light.

"Pfft!"

The woman in green opened her mouth and spat out blood once more.

However, this time, the blood had turned a faint black.

The corpse poison had entered her internal organs.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't have been this fast, but the sword wound was not far from her heart.

The woman's delicate body swayed, her vision blurred, and she tumbled down toward the mountain range.

"Swish!"

Just then, the woman in green suddenly felt herself fall into a warm embrace, and she faintly caught a glimpse of a handsome face.

The person who had intervened was none other than Li Qing.

[Another female protagonist who's been screwed over.]

[All those opportunities to reach the heavens in a single step are scams.]

[If you can't even see through this, you deserve this calamity.]

This inner voice...

It's the person I heard near the auction house.

He's come here too.

Are you... human or ghost?

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a streak of light flashed nearby, the figure extremely familiar.

[It's that fellow Gu Beichen.]

[If you hadn't met me, you would have fallen into the male lead's hands.]

[Your purity would be gone, you'd fall in love with him, and eventually, you'd die for him.]

[Tsk tsk.]

[What a cliché plot.]

Lose... lose my purity?

"Don't... don't bully me..."

The woman in green murmured softly and then fainted.

"Swish!"

Li Qing took a step and appeared atop a giant peak.

"Luckily you met me."

"Otherwise, this eternal god king corpse poison that has entered your organs would be quite difficult to handle."

Li Qing summoned the Chaos Green Lotus, which enveloped the woman in green and began to rotate slowly, its surface manifesting the myriad phenomena of the heavens.

The Chaos Green Lotus was a specialist in dealing with all sorts of flashy nonsense.

Of course, Gu Beichen's Pure World Red Lotus could also purify corpse poison.

Not long after.

The Chaos Green Lotus bloomed, and the woman in green appeared; the corpse spots on her face had vanished, and the blood flowing from her chest began to turn red.

Li Qing retracted the Chaos Green Lotus and began to treat her external wounds.

After a while, the injuries were fully treated.

"Mmm..."

The woman's eyelashes fluttered slightly, a sign she was about to wake up.

Li Qing stood up and vanished with a single step.

He still had to hurry over to 'eat melons'.

The woman in green slowly opened her eyes, looked dazed for a moment, and then sat up directly from the ground.

She touched her chest and was startled.

She looked down, her face turning as red as blood.

"The... the wounds have been treated."

"The corpse poison has also been neutralized."

"This was eternal god king corpse poison."

The woman was stunned.

"Where is he?"

The woman scanned her surroundings but saw no sign of Li Qing.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the entire Yongji Mountains shook, and the location of the previous pillar of light suddenly collapsed, revealing a massive sinkhole.

"He didn't go to snatch the Opportunity, did he?"

The woman in green was alarmed; her figure flickered as she rushed toward the sinkhole.

At the same time.

Beneath the mountain range.

In an endless underground world, Li Qing stood on a mountain peak with his hands behind his back, watching the distant sky where several groups of people were engaged in a frantic battle.

Below them was a dilapidated giant city.

From one of the black palaces, rolling Chaos Qi emerged, and a faint eternal light shone out from within.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, the sound of air being sliced rang out nearby, and the woman in green appeared.

"You... you're here."

The woman in green looked at Li Qing, her gaze somewhat evasive.

"You're better now."

Li Qing smiled.

"Th-Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for saving my life."

A blush appeared on the woman's face.

She knew that when he was treating her wounds, he had likely seen everything.

But for some reason...

Perhaps influenced by the inner voice...

She didn't seem to mind.

[You're healed, why aren't you leaving?]

[This so-called god-burying map is just a trap.]

[What did you come back for?]

"I..."

I don't know why I came back either.

"My name is Lü Yanling."

"Li Qing."

Giggle...

At that moment, a crisp female laugh suddenly rang out nearby, and a beautiful woman in red appeared behind Lü Yanling.

"What a beautiful creature."

But in the next instant, the woman in red suddenly appeared behind Li Qing, a jade-like finger gently stroking his cheek.

"What an interesting young man."

At the same time, a face capable of toppling cities and nations appeared before Li Qing's eyes, a jade finger lightly tilting up his chin.

A charming, beautiful woman looked at Li Qing with a beaming smile.

Li Qing: "..."

"Careful!"

Lü Yanling was shocked.

"Don't move."

Li Qing reached out to stop Lü Yanling, who was about to attack.

[The God King's remnant spirit, Yu Suling.]

[The so-called god-burying map is nothing more than a play for this God King's remnant spirit to choose a husband.]

[It's like selecting a Gu—choosing the strongest one.]

[In the end, naturally, it's Gu Beichen, who possesses the Innate Dao Fetus, who gets chosen.]

[After all, the Innate Chaos Dao Fetus and the Pure World Red Lotus can purify the Eternal Nightmare within her through Dual Cultivation, allowing her Primordial Spirit, trapped in her Physical Body, to awaken from the mental space.]

[A pity, though—that fellow Gu Beichen took everything and then reneged on the deal. He didn't help her purify the Eternal Nightmare because the process takes too long, requiring over a decade. He didn't have that kind of patience.]

[So Yu Suling lost her purity and gained nothing in return; her end was the dissipation of her remnant spirit and the collapse of her Primordial Spirit and Physical Body.]

[The Eternal Nightmare inside her is indeed difficult to handle.]

[Even with my Innate Chaos Dao Fetus, it would take several months to complete the purification.]

[Of course, if the Dual Cultivation were more diligent, that time could be shortened.]

[I don't know what she was thinking back then, insisting on going into that place despite knowing it was dangerous, only to end up as a vegetable.]

Innate Chaos Dao Fetus?

The two women were shocked.

Did he use the Innate Chaos Dao Fetus to neutralize the corpse poison for me?

Lü Yanling was stunned.

It's actually the Innate Chaos Dao Fetus.

It only takes a few months to purify the Eternal Nightmare?

If more diligent... it could be even faster.

Could he be the blurry destined one from the nightmare?

"Little husband, are you interested in a bit of Dual Cultivation?"

"I'm very sweet..."

Li Qing: "..."
