229: The Divine Tree of Ten Thousand Paths, Xia Ziwei

"Hum!"

The Void Realm before him trembled slightly, and a small, dull grey pagoda flew out from within his body, hovering before him.

It was not the Desolate Pagoda, but the heaven swallowing pagoda obtained after slaying Ye Chen in the past!

Nourished by the endless Dao energy and the sounds of the Dao within the Immortal Pool, it had awakened!

"Hum, hum, hum!"

The body of the heaven swallowing pagoda shook violently, emitting an excited hum, shining with brilliant light, and flowing with ancient runes.

"Splash!"

In an instant, the crystalline pool water transformed into several thick water Dragons, which were forcibly drawn in by the heaven swallowing pagoda and swallowed into the pagoda!

Inside the heaven swallowing pagoda, that originally desolate and dead, incomplete world was instantly restored to vitality under the cleansing of the Dao energy, which contained the life force of creation.

And at the center of the world, high above in the sky.

A stunningly beautiful figure floated silently.

She wore a luxurious, form-fitting purple dress, the hem flowing like water, outlining her curvaceous body in a breathtaking manner.

Her skin was whiter than snow, appearing as if carved from mutton-fat jade amidst the hazy mist of immortal light.

With the injection and refinement of the massive amount of Immortal Pool water, her originally ethereal form gradually became solid.

"Hum!"

The stunningly beautiful woman in deep sleep suddenly opened her eyes!

"Ye Chen!"

She let out a shout, as if someone who had had a nightmare had been abruptly awakened.

Then, countless memory fragments surged into her mind like a tide, and the woman froze.

Ye Chen was dead, the heaven swallowing pagoda had changed owners, and she had fallen into a deep sleep...

"Qin! Wu! Shang!"

She gritted her teeth, filled with hatred and murderous intent.

"Now that you are awake, why don't you get out here and pay homage to your master?"

A calm voice suddenly exploded.

The woman's delicate body shook violently, her figure flashed, and she left the inner world of the heaven swallowing pagoda, appearing before Qin Wushang.

The moment she appeared, she raised her jade hand, instantly manifesting a massive handprint and striking out.

As the palm struck, a giant Dragon appeared.

"Bang!"

But the moment the giant Dragon expanded, about to collide with Qin Wushang, it exploded directly, turning into a rain of light.

A terrifying force descended, instantly binding the woman's soul body.

Qin Wushang did not look up, speaking in a calm tone.

"Kneel."

"Hum!"

A terrifying pressure came from the heaven swallowing pagoda, like the weight of 108,000 great worlds pressing down.

"Bang!"

The woman's legs went weak, and she involuntarily knelt down into the Immortal Pool, splashing a large amount of water.

The cold pool water soaked her luxurious purple dress, making her appear even more disheveled.

"What are you doing?"

She shouted, struggling desperately, but it was all in vain.

"Hum."

Qin Wushang slowly lifted his eyelids, his gaze landing calmly on her stunningly beautiful face.

He slightly raised his hand, gesturing for the woman to come over.

"Come here."

"No...!"

The woman exclaimed, discovering with horror that her body was once again out of control, kneeling and moving forward.

Qin Wushang extended his hand, his slender fingers descending to land on her beautifully curved chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"You are already mine."

He spoke, his voice remaining calm.

"Why bother dwelling on a dead man?"

He leaned down slightly, moving closer, his warm breath almost brushing against Xia Ziwei's earlobe.

"Follow me, obey me."

"How about it?"

The woman's delicate body stiffened, a shiver running through the skin touched by his fingertips.

She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, almost drawing blood.

Just then, her gaze inadvertently swept over the area behind Qin Wushang.

Only then did she realize that it was actually the phantom of an extraordinary tree.

"Myriad... myriad dao divine tree?"

The woman's pupils contracted sharply, and she gasped in shock, her ample chest heaving violently from the surprise.

"You... you actually condensed a myriad dao divine tree?"

"How is this possible!"

She was knowledgeable and recognized this legendary phenomenon.

Using the Body as a Seed, opening up an inner world, with the Dao foundation manifesting as a myriad dao divine tree...

This was the legendary path of invincibility!

Throughout history, how many have succeeded?

"Heavenly God Realm... you have already reached this step..."

Her voice trembled as she exclaimed again.

"I... how long have I been asleep?"

She asked.

"Not long."

Qin Wushang withdrew his hand, sat up straight again, and gazed calmly at the hazy sky light outside the Immortal Pool.

"This place is the Desolate Ancient Great World."

"The Desolate Ancient Great World? You actually got in!"

The woman exclaimed again.

She remembered that Ye Chen had originally also had the chance to represent the Huang Family to enter this world and compete for Opportunity.

Unfortunately, everything had come to nothing.

Qin Wushang said no more, just watching her quietly, his gaze deep, as if he could see through all her thoughts.

"I will give you one more chance."

"Submit."

"Or be completely refined and become the Origin of the pagoda."

Xia Ziwei shuddered all over, as if falling into an ice cellar.

She could feel that the other party was definitely not making empty threats.

She was not the true artifact spirit of the pagoda; she had just been surviving inside, accidentally bound, and had become a part of the pagoda.

But she could still break free.

But if she were refined by Qin Wushang, she would forever be a part of the heaven swallowing pagoda and would never be able to live as a human again.

"I..."

The woman fell silent.

She lowered her head, her purple dress soaked through, clinging to her body, outlining breathtaking curves, making her appear incomparably fragile.

After a good while, she slowly raised her head, a self-deprecating bitter smile appearing on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Do I... have a choice?"

She resigned herself to her fate!

She had originally intended to make a deal with Ye Chen, having him help her condense a Physical Body so she could live another life.

Now, making another deal with Qin Wushang was no big deal.

And Qin Wushang was even more powerful; perhaps the chance of him helping her condense a Physical Body was greater.

Qin Wushang watched her quietly without speaking, waiting for what she had to say next.

Xia Ziwei took a deep breath, looked at Qin Wushang, a flash of determination in her eyes, and spoke.

"I, Xia Ziwei, am willing to acknowledge you as my master, honor you as supreme, and from now on obey your commands without any disloyalty."

She paused, then continued.

"But you must agree to one condition of mine..."

Before she could finish speaking!

"Slap!"

A crisp sound of a slap rang out.

A transparent phantom of a palm struck fiercely across her stunningly beautiful left cheek!

Xia Ziwei was completely stunned, her beautiful eyes wide open, filled with shame, anger, and disbelief.

She had actually been slapped?

Qin Wushang slowly withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "A prisoner in captivity, what qualifications do you have to negotiate conditions?"

"You need to recognize your own situation clearly."

Xia Ziwei's delicate body continued to tremble, half from pain and half from extreme humiliation and anger.

In front of this man, she had no bargaining chips, no dignity, and not even the qualification to negotiate conditions.

"Xia Ziwei..."

"A nice name."

Qin Wushang's tone was calm as he continued, "Tell me about your Origins, and perhaps this Young Master will consider spending some time to re-condense a Physical Body for you."
