Chapter 38: Chapter 38 I Want to Challenge You

Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu both had their secrets and naturally disliked the presence of an outsider, especially a Divine Body.

Thus, the two decided to give the Divine Body the cold shoulder, hoping she would get the hint and leave of her own accord.

However, the Divine Body, Chen Shixian, couldn’t have cared less about the two of them. Although she resided on Qingfeng, she frequently visited the Three Peaks and regularly interacted with other disciples for cultivation exchanges.

During these interactions, she behaved in a warm and friendly manner, not at all like the lofty Divine Body she was but more like their elder sister.

Gradually, more and more disciples within the Wuji Sect began to take a liking to the Divine Body, not just because of her beauty, but even more so for her character.

Zhuge Wushuang exclaimed, "She truly is a Divine Body! I’ve been stuck at this bottleneck for half a month, and she solved it with a single insight."

Mo Wuwei also spoke up, "I can’t beat her, but she didn’t mock me; instead, she encouraged me."

Nangong Jue said, "She taught me what an Attribute Body is. It’s at this moment that I finally understand my true path of cultivation. Thanks to the Divine Body."

"We are grateful to the Divine Body."

"Grateful to have you."

During the time the Divine Body was present, many Wuji Sect disciples showed significant improvement, especially the three geniuses.

「Inside the palace.」

Baili Jiansan smiled. "See? This is the charm of the Divine Body."

The Jiuli Peak Peak Lord lamented, "I never expected the Divine Body to have such a profound understanding of cultivation; even I am ashamed in comparison!"

The master of Ice and Snow Peak said, "Indeed! Indeed!"

"The Divine Body is magnanimous. Our Wuji Sect shouldn’t be too stingy..." The Wanjian Peak Master spoke up, "I have decided to grant the Divine Body access to Wan Jian Pavilion."

Everyone was speechless.

Baili Jiansan’s mouth twitched. "Don’t do that, Junior Brother. The other day, I saw the Divine Body wielding sword techniques with extraordinary sharpness and immense Power Path. Her level of Sword Dao is at least above the Heaven Rank. Don’t embarrass yourself with your Wan Jian Pavilion."

The Wanjian Peak Master’s old face flushed red. "Regardless, it’s the fruit of my life’s work, hmph!"

It wasn’t that the Wuji Sect lacked powerful inheritances, but those belonged to the Wuji Sect itself. The Wan Jian Pavilion, however, was a collection personally gathered and established by the Wanjian Peak Master.

He had the full right to make this decision.

「Time flew by, and before anyone realized it, three months had passed.」

On this day, Chen Shixian did not go to the Three Peaks. She stood before her house, gazing at the hillside not far away.

Through her three months of observation, although she hadn’t completely figured out the internal structure of Qingfeng, she had noticed quite a few clues.

The Master of Qingfeng was Wen Yuqing, who had been away for a long time. She had only two disciples under her: the senior disciple Chen Pingping and the junior disciple Guang Xiaoyu.

According to the Wuji Sect disciples, after Wen Yuqing accepted Chen Pingping as a disciple, she left to undertake a mission. As for what that mission was, no one knew.

Chen Pingping was left alone to guard Qingfeng. Later, under pressure, he accepted Guang Xiaoyu as a disciple on Wen Yuqing’s behalf and began to teach her cultivation.

From the very beginning, Guang Xiaoyu’s aptitude was poor, and her innate talent was lacking. Yet, as she continued to cultivate, she started to grow stronger and even claimed first place in the Newcomers’ Tournament.

That was how the subsequent events unfolded.

When she left the Wuji Sect, she was only at the fifth heaven of Breaking Sun.

Upon her return from the imperial city, she had already stepped into the first heaven of Destiny. When this was mentioned, many disciples would exclaim, "What a monster!"

Chen Pingping liked herding cattle and raising dogs. Back then, he would talk to Lao Huang the ox every day. To his fellow disciples, it seemed this kid was a lost cause.

He never cultivated.

Yesterday, a sect disciple who wished to remain anonymous said, "Despite all this, Peak Master Wen didn’t send him away. I suspect he must be Peak Master Wen’s illegitimate child."

Beyond this, Wen Yuqing had left him so many things that even the three Peak Masters were envious.

A disciple who never cultivates—how could he receive such treatment?

Chen Shixian fell into deep thought.

Before coming here, she had thought Chen Pingping was hiding his abilities very well, but now... she began to doubt herself.

Because after three months of observation, she was one hundred percent certain that Chen Pingping indeed did not cultivate. He ate, slept, and basked in the sun every day, or just lay on the hillside.

He was a classic case of someone just coasting along, waiting for death; a thoroughly dispirited mortal.

Is this fellow really hiding his true abilities?

Is this fellow really my greatest calamity?

Whenever such thoughts occurred, they would be suppressed as soon as she saw that Earth Chicken.

Mortals could be foolish. But how could a Spiritual Beast be blind?

Spiritual Beasts are proud beings; they wouldn’t follow an ordinary person.

After a long pause...

Chen Shixian snapped back to reality and walked toward the slope. "You’ve hidden your skills well."

Chen Pingping remained silent.

"Why do you hide your talent?" Chen Shixian looked at him. "The first time I saw you was deep within Salt Mountain, a place where only the strong can survive."

He was somewhat surprised.

This girl, she indeed came to investigate me.

"I want to challenge you," Chen Shixian said.

MOO!

Lao Huang the ox glanced over, then paid no further attention.

Hei, the little black dog, bounded over, and Chen Pingping casually lifted it into his arms.

The Earth Chicken stopped its pacing and glanced sideways. "This girl has quite the nerve." Others might not be aware of Chen Pingping’s strength, but how could it be ignorant?

Back at Salt Mountain, it had led Chen Pingping deep into the area. Unfortunately, all the fierce beasts they encountered along the way were eliminated by him.

Among them were fourth-rank fierce beasts, equivalent to Human Clan experts in the Supreme Mystery Realm.

Seeing his prolonged silence, Chen Shixian realized the issue. This wasn’t aloofness but... disdain. She knew she couldn’t beat him; with her current strength, she was still no match for Chen Pingping.

She understood!

Chen Shixian spoke up, "I will practice diligently and defeat you with my own hands."

The Earth Chicken chuckled, blinked, and thought, Go for it! Just defeating him isn’t enough; you have to eliminate him.

"Indeed, the Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill comes from ’The Tomb’; where else could such a powerful method of demon cultivation originate?" Guang Xiaoyu said with a radiant smile.

This skill was powerful.

It was far stronger than she had imagined, even surpassing any cultivation method she had encountered in over a hundred thousand years.

She was convinced that the Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill originated from The Tomb.

That was a terrifying place, one that even she, the Demon Emperor, dared not easily venture into.

In the world within her mind, the first Demon God grew increasingly distinct. It had a face, a body, and even flowing blood. Branded upon its brow was a single character: "Desolation."

Guang Xiaoyu pondered for a long time but couldn’t make sense of it. Where in the Nine Heavens is there ’Desolation’?

What does this ’Desolation’ represent?

Guang Xiaoyu knew that long ago, there had been a terrifying method of demon cultivation—cultivating gods, cultivating demons, and forging Demon Gods—somewhat akin to puppetry, yet it was not puppetry.

It was Spirit Nurturing.

Does the Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill imply that I am to forge nine Demon Gods?

Do these Demon Gods each have their own origins?

Desolation?

Could it be... the Wasteland?

Why does that name sound so familiar?

Guang Xiaoyu frowned. Hmm? The first Demon God from the Chaotic Sea?

The more she thought, the more alarmed she became.

She had already realized that this particular method of demon cultivation was extraordinary and seemed connected to that dark turmoil.
