355: Lady of the Nine Heavens

Chen Tianming had a good impression of Mu Qi.

So, when Mu Qi suggested going to find the elders of the tribe, Chen Tianming spontaneously asked if she needed his help.

Mu Qi merely showed a sweet and innocent smile.

Then she rode the levitating jet motorcycle and quickly disappeared into the wilderness.

At this moment, Chen Tianming and his family began to explore the vicinity.

This secret realm truly looked ancient and charming.

A gentle breeze brushed his face, and a slight mist dissipated, revealing a calm sea with faint ripples.

The sound of the ripples was very peculiar, like ancient strings being played, making one unable to resist listening.

As Chen Tianming was enjoying the view, the Azure Jade Divine Beast suddenly poked its head out of the sea.

It curiously stared at Chen Tianming for a moment, then a flash of fear and panic suddenly appeared in its eyes, and it immediately fled in a hurry.

Chen Tianming couldn't help but shout from afar.

“Little fellow! Don't be afraid!”

However, the Azure Jade Divine Beast was clearly startled and ran away without looking back.

Just as Chen Tianming thought that his sudden arrival had scared this little fellow.

Suddenly, everything before them turned dark.

Chen Tianming reacted quickly.

He looked up and saw it was the shadowy cloud monster that had attacked Aila Village.

The monster shrieked and flew towards the Azure Jade Divine Beast.

Its speed was so fast that it almost caught up to the little divine beast in an instant.

However, Chen Tianming had already fought this monster before.

He drove the monster away with just one move.

At this moment, Chen Tianming instantly teleported behind the little divine beast.

Seeing Chen Tianming's face, the monster's face immediately twisted in fear, it let out a shrill scream, and turned to run.

How could Chen Tianming let it go so easily this time?

Chen Tianming suddenly leaped up.

The entire Kunlun Immortal Realm trembled under Chen Tianming's power.

As Chen Tianming flew high into the sky, in the next second, a bright beam of light erupted from his chest.

The moment it enveloped the black cloud, the black cloud transformed into countless particles, which were absorbed into Chen Tianming's Energy Converter, turning into energy that existed within Chen Tianming's body.

After absorbing the black cloud, Chen Tianming merely shook his head.

“The concept of energy in this microscopic world is completely different from the outside; such a large cloud, which slaughtered countless living beings, only yields so little energy when absorbed!”

Then Chen Tianming descended from high in the sky.

The Azure Jade Divine Beast curiously observed Chen Tianming, and through the appraisal system, Chen Tianming read its thoughts.

The little fellow couldn't understand why Chen Tianming was so powerful, almost instantly killing the monster it feared.

Seeing that this little creature had no hostility towards him, Chen Tianming wanted to go forward and pick up the Azure Jade Divine Beast.

But it was only when Chen Tianming had already touched the divine beast's body that the little fellow began to struggle desperately.

Chen Tianming held it tightly.

But the little fellow suddenly let out a howl, like a baby, or a newborn kitten.

At the same time, a glow appeared on the horizon.

A cold voice of interrogation came from afar.

“Who are you! Put him down!”

Chen Tianming still held the divine beast; he had already seen the prompt in the system appraisal.

This Azure Jade Divine Beast was the cub of an ancient divine beast, capable of devouring all living things from a young age.

With each devour, it could evolve at will, and upon reaching its ultimate form, it could stand shoulder to shoulder with deities.

Chen Tianming, of course, wanted to claim such a powerful divine beast for his own use.

However, from within the glow in the distance, a mysterious pressure emerged.

Then, a Nine-Winged Golden Bird slowly flew out from the glow, with dazzling feathers, golden pupils, and a fiery red beak like blazing flames.

As it flew, it transformed from head to tail: its feathers turned into a colorful dress, and its wings became a radiant cape, transforming into a woman who elegantly appeared before Chen Tianming and his companions.

However, before Chen Tianming could speak, the woman rudely extended her hands…

“Give him to me!”

That cold voice made Chen Tianming feel utterly annoyed.

Moreover, the divine beast in his hands was incredibly precious.

Chen Tianming held the little beast tighter.

Seeing this, the woman frowned in anger.

Just then, the divine beast in Chen Tianming's arms, as if recognizing its master, desperately kicked away from Chen Tianming's embrace and jumped into the woman's arms.

Chen Tianming was afraid of harming the divine beast, which was why he didn't forcefully restrain it.

However, at this moment, even a fool could see.

The beautiful woman before him, like a celestial fairy, was the true master of the Azure Jade Divine Beast.

Chen Tianming had no intention of rudely snatching it; he simply began to explain.

“I thought this little fellow was ownerless…”

However, to his surprise, he had barely spoken half a sentence when the woman opposite him flew into a rage.

“Thing? Ownerless thing! This is a Ksitigarbha, bestowed by the Xuanyuan Great Emperor, it feeds on morning glow and drinks condensed dew, a thing?!”

Chen Tianming had never heard such a pretentious statement.

He merely blinked, unable to respond in time for a moment.

And the woman continued to speak on her own, even pinning a series of labels and accusations on Chen Tianming.

“You dare to seize what the Great Emperor bestowed, and trespass into my Kunlun Immortal Pond? Who exactly are you, that you can bear the punishment of the Heavenly Court?”

Chen Tianming, however, spread his hands.

“Wait a moment, Heavenly Court?”

He had only thought he had arrived at the Kunlun Secret Realm and wanted to see what it was about, but he hadn't expected there to actually be talk of a Heavenly Court here.

However, Chen Tianming felt that even if the true Heavenly Court reappeared in the world, with his current strength, he would be able to contend with the Heavenly Deities, so he naturally had no fear in his heart.

So Chen Tianming asked generously.

“So, you are a Heavenly Deity?”

Chen Tianming had already met Heavenly Deities and Star Deities, and had even fought a few rounds with Star Envoys.

Asking this way naturally had no other meaning.

But to the ears of this Kunlun Immortal Maiden at this moment.

Chen Tianming's question was already a great disrespect to the Heavenly Court.

Coupled with the accusation that Chen Tianming wanted to seize the divine beast.

The Immortal Maiden's divine countenance immediately flared with anger.

“You mortals, how dare you disrespect immortal deities?”

After speaking, she put down the Ksitigarbha divine beast in her hand, simultaneously flung both jade arms to her sides, her long sleeves fluttering, and in her slender jade hands, she wielded two jade hammers.

Although Chen Tianming looked at the two hammers and they didn't seem like weapons.

However, the immense power emanating from the hammers still made Chen Tianming feel pressure.

He quickly explained.

“Don't act! I meant no disrespect, nor did I steal your divine beast! I was just passing by!”

However, the woman didn't listen to his explanation; she raised the two hammers and lightly tapped them together in mid-air.

A golden light, as if striking a heavenly drum.

Boomed and exploded in front of Chen Tianming.

The instantaneous shockwave sent Chen Tianming flying backward.

He retreated repeatedly, while simultaneously spreading his hands to protect his family.

Fortunately, despite such immense power, Chen Tianming and his companions were not injured.

Instead, the Immortal Maiden frowned, a little startled.

Chen Tianming seized this opportunity to speak.

“May I ask your name, Immortal Maiden?”

The woman coldly snorted.

“Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Bi Que! Don't try to get familiar; even if you are a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, I will take you down today!”
