Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!
Chapter 35 Learn to Bear Humiliation and Hardship

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Learn to Bear Humiliation and Hardship

One of the most powerful aspects of a Divine Body is its unique Domain, such as Chen Shixian’s Glow of the Moon God. A Domain is a power that only a Saint can possess. Once this power is deployed, it is nearly invincible. Within the same realm, no one can contend with it, let alone defeat higher-level adversaries.

However, seeing the excitement on Guang Xiaoyu’s face, Chen Shixian felt a deep sense of powerlessness. She seemed to understand the Moon God body well, even casually mentioning powers like the Moon illusion and the Glow of the Moon God. This being the case, she must have some cards up her sleeve to counter it, right?

Chen Shixian was in agony.

She fell silent.

In a life of cultivating a Divine Body, her first meaningful battle had ended in such a defeat, completely crushed without any ability to fight back. It was laughable. But it was also a fact.

She remembered her teacher’s advice and then raised her head. "I concede."

The crowd was stunned.

The students from the Yuan Martial Academy behind her, who were still waiting for the Divine Body to erupt in full force and defeat Guang Xiaoyu, were all taken aback, disbelieving.

The Divine Body conceded? How could she concede?

"Hahahaha..." Guang Xiaoyu laughed heartily.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Shixian calmed down. She felt odd; even though she had already conceded, the humiliation from her recent defeat seemed to vanish without a trace. It was as if the person battling Guang Xiaoyu just now wasn’t her. She wasn’t her own great calamity?

Guang Xiaoyu said with a laugh, "I’m laughing at your ignorance."

Chen Shixian was bewildered.

"The Domain Power of a Divine Body, proclaimed to be unrivaled within the same great realm, is not an empty boast. You hesitated just now because you thought I had more cards to play, right?" Her smile was radiant. "Unfortunately, I don’t have any..."

Chen Shixian was rendered speechless, her face stiffening.

"I do wish to defeat you, but I cannot right now. After all, a Divine Body is still a Divine Body." Guang Xiaoyu smiled. "You are very strong."

Chen Shixian stared at her intently.

"To think that a few words could make you concede, oh Divine Body! You truly are foolish." She laughed proudly.

Some students couldn’t stand it anymore. "Are all those from the Wuji Sect so shameless?"

"And you are?" Guang Xiaoyu glanced over.

"I am—"

"Enough." The Grand State Master stepped out, his gaze icy. "Defeat is defeat, there’s nothing more to say. Go back and tell your elders that the Yuan Martial Academy will surely honor our agreement."

"Thank you, Grand State Master," Guang Xiaoyu looked towards him.

"You did well," the Grand State Master spoke.

The battle ended. Its process was nothing if not sigh-inducing; no one expected that the mighty Divine Body would be outmatched by Guang Xiaoyu, who eventually used an "open plot" to force the Divine Body into conceding. Although despicable, her victory over the Divine Body was an indisputable fact.

Chen Pingping couldn’t help asking, "How were you so certain the Divine Body would concede?"

"I wasn’t!" Guang Xiaoyu shook her head.

"So? You were just spouting nonsense?" He found his little junior sister more and more inscrutable.

"With the current state of the Divine Body, it would be very difficult to deploy the Domain unless she was willing to die and bring me down with her. Of course... if she consumed a few Spirit Pills and forced it out, I have my ways," Guang Xiaoyu spoke cheerily.

"What ways? How come I don’t know about them?" Chen Pingping was frustrated.

Guang Xiaoyu remained silent.

"Junior Sister, have you secretly cultivated something?" Chen Pingping looked at her. "You mustn’t act recklessly. Once those Forbidden Skills are exposed, you’ll become the target of everyone’s arrows."

He had witnessed all of Guang Xiaoyu’s cultivation practices, but he could never fully see through this girl. Demon cultivators... poor aptitude, lacking talent. Yet, she could easily comprehend the Sword Dao and cultivate, overpowering the Divine Body in combat. He seriously suspected that even without the subsequent open plot, the Divine Body would not be able to defeat her.

After the battle ended, the two hurriedly left, not daring to linger.

「Outside the city, within a forest clearing.」

Several figures swiftly rushed forward.

Standing ahead was a figure, the Shangguan Clan’s eldest son with the Sunlight Body. His eyes were bright, watching the direction Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu had gone.

The people behind him arrived and bowed their heads, saying, "We greet the Eldest Son."

"Have they arrived?" Shangguan Liuyu asked.

"Almost there, just an hour more. They’ll reach Ten Thousand Forms Valley after dark," a man replied.

"Good..." He raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold intent.

The Divine Body’s public renunciation of the marriage had caused him immense humiliation. All this time, he had constantly thought about killing Guang Xiaoyu and Chen Pingping. Now, the opportunity had come. He had called several powerful Puppet Masters from his family here, all in the Supreme Mystery Realm. With such a formidable array, the two of them were doomed.

But he was unaware that there were two sets of eyes watching him from behind.

Chen Shixian spoke up, "Teacher, do we need to take action?"

"Why intervene?" The Grand State Master looked over. "If Chen Pingping truly is your great calamity, these people from the Shangguan Clan can’t kill him. So, in the end, you’ll have to make a move yourself to cut down your own great calamity."

That seemed to make sense.

Chen Shixian nodded. "Let them force Chen Pingping into action?"

The Grand State Master showed approval. "Correct. This guy is deeply hidden, always reluctant to take action. I almost succeeded once inside the Prince’s Mansion, but unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately, what?"

"He pulled out a hundred Paper Talismans, each one imbued with Wen Yuqing’s Divine Sense. He crushed one of them..." The Grand State Master was speechless.

Among their generation, Wen Yuqing was undoubtedly the standout. Not only that, but she also had a fierce temper. Anyone who provoked her would face relentless pursuit.

Recalling past incidents, the Grand State Master felt a chill in his heart. "You can seek to challenge and kill Chen Pingping, but you mustn’t act recklessly. Otherwise, if Wen Yuqing loses her temper, even the Yuan Martial Academy won’t be able to protect you!"

"Didn’t he easily seriously injure a Supreme Mystery Realm expert at the foot of the city gate that day?" Chen Shixian’s face went pale. "I feel like I can’t beat him now."

"Then get close to him, understand him well," the Grand State Master lifted his head.

A rather mature idea was forming in his mind.

The Grand State Master continued, "There’s one year left before the Spirit Vein opens, and two before the Wasteland opens. I’ll send you to Chen Pingping’s side under the pretext of an exchange from the Yuan Martial Academy. Observe his cultivation closely. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle."

For the future of the Divine Body, he was going all in.

Chen Shixian’s face stiffened. "Teacher, wouldn’t this be inappropriate?"

After all, she had just lost to Guang Xiaoyu, and now she was to get close to Chen Pingping. Wouldn’t that mean seeing that smug little girl every day? The thought of that open plot made her uncomfortable.

The Grand State Master added, "A powerful Divine Body must learn to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. Once your cultivation is successful, you can truly set foot on the unbeatable path... Frankly, I’m also very concerned."

What exactly he was concerned about, he couldn’t quite articulate. He felt an uneasy premonition, as if this decision was a mistake. But he had no choice.

The person mentioned in the Heavenly Book was too similar to Chen Pingping. The Divine Body must defeat him, or even kill him.

"Of course, if Chen Pingping is killed by the Shangguan Clan’s people, it will prove that he is not your great calamity, and you won’t need to observe his cultivation anymore," the Grand State Master took a deep breath.
