Chapter 734: Quickly Kill Him, Let Us Divide the Spirit Stones Between Us

It wasn’t just ordinary people who encountered such situations; even cultivators often faced these dilemmas. In fact, on the path of cultivation, human nature was tested even more. The resources on this land were simply too scarce.

Bai Xiangyu had thought about it carefully, which was why he had brought his savings to seek out Nanli.

Nanli frowned and looked at him with more helplessness, "Young Master Bai, do you know why the Immortal Gate was destroyed?"

This matter had already spread across the Upper Realm.

Bai Xiangyu nodded. "I know. Jifeng Celestial Sovereign... No, he shouldn’t be called Celestial Sovereign anymore. He destroyed the Immortal Gate for an Evil Girl."

Nanli continued, "I am that Evil Girl."

Bai Xiangyu froze.

He was stunned at first, then shocked. His body shrank back, staring at Nanli’s face for a long time before shifting his gaze to her belly.

"How... How is that possible!" Bai Xiangyu kept shaking his head. "You are incredibly beautiful, unmatched in charm, but your cultivation is too low, and you’re from the Human World. Celestial Sovereign couldn’t have chosen you. You two are worlds apart!"

Nanli didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. "You’re both complimenting and insulting me at the same time. How am I supposed to respond?"

Bai Xiangyu insisted, "This can’t be! Celestial Sovereign is a celestial being, and the children in your belly cannot be his. You couldn’t possibly bear his bloodline."

Nanli didn’t know how to explain, so she simply said, "Enough. What happened between him and me is none of your business. You should think about how to leave this place."

At first glance, the place was filled with swirling demonic energy, unclear and illusory, making it impossible to see anything.

But Bai Xiangyu, being persistent, said, "No! Today, I must clear things up between us!"

Nanli threw the Qiankun Bag back at him, pretending to be scared. "Young Master Bai, you’re the heir of the Bai family. There are so many women out there for you. Why are you so stubbornly clinging to me?"

Bai Xiangyu, however, answered with certainty, "You were chosen by my father! You’re the most suitable partner for me!"

Nanli rubbed her forehead. "In my opinion, choosing a partner should be based on mutual feelings, right? I’m not interested in you, so stop wasting your time on me."

Bai Xiangyu slumped, discouraged.

Compared to Jifeng Celestial Sovereign, he knew he had no chance. But coincidentally, Jifeng Celestial Sovereign was nowhere to be found!

He regained his composure and his gaze became even more passionate. "Have you ever thought about the fact that we came into this place together? Doesn’t that mean we’re fated?"

"Huh?" Nanli rolled her eyes. "Stop trying to act like fate. It’s because you clung to me that you got caught up in this mess."

Once Bai Xiangyu set his mind on something, he wouldn’t let it go. He nodded. "Your fate with Jifeng Celestial Sovereign has ended. I am your true destiny! Don’t worry, I’ll protect you and the children and take you out of here!"

Nanli’s mouth twitched.

She wanted to ask the owner of the secret realm to open a portal so she could kick him out.

Just at that moment, a Buddhist chant was heard.

The thick demonic energy began to purify and disperse.

Both of them stopped discussing the matter and turned to look at the figure not far away.

It was indeed Zen Master Cinian.

A golden Buddhist light surrounded him, and it seemed like lotus flowers bloomed with every step he took. The nearby demonic energy was completely dispelled.

They could finally see clearly that this was a bamboo forest.

"Zen Master Cinian." Nanli sighed in relief when she saw him unharmed. "Are you alright?"

Cinian had walked up to them and stopped chanting.

"I’m fine," he said, looking around. "Where are Shandu and the others?"

"It’s just the two of us who got caught," Nanli replied.

Bai Xiangyu asked, "Zen Master Cinian, this secret realm is filled with demonic energy. What is the reason for that? How do we find the exit?"

"This Vajra Umbrella was once a celestial artifact. During the war between immortals and demons, its owner used it to absorb demonic energy, thus forming this secret realm," Cinian said with a slight frown. "As for the exit... It’s hard to say. We’ll need to touch upon a certain opportunity to leave this place."

He glanced at the talisman on Bai Xiangyu’s forehead and smiled faintly. "Young Master Xiangyu, this talisman is quite intricate. It will protect your body from being corrupted by the demonic energy."

Bai Xiangyu’s heart stirred, and his gaze toward Nanli became even more filled with admiration and longing.

"It was Nanli who drew it for me," he said.

Nanli, seeing that he was calling her by her name, quickly said, "We’re not that familiar. Please call me ’Daoist Friend.’"

"Alright, Nanli," Bai Xiangyu responded, his voice filled with eagerness. "But I still don’t know how we’ll trigger the opportunity to leave."

Nanli could only go along with him.

After all, arguing about this wouldn’t be helpful. The important thing was to leave as soon as possible.

The demonic energy in this place was so dense that no matter how many spirit stones they had, they would soon run out.

"Zen Master Cinian, did you come from this bamboo forest as well?" Nanli asked.

"Yes," Cinian nodded.

"Then let’s leave this bamboo forest first," Nanli decided.

She thought for a moment and decided to fly on her sword to see the layout of the bamboo forest.

Indeed, once she flew up, the sky was suddenly shrouded in white fog, and she couldn’t see the roads in any direction.

She landed back down and said, "This bamboo forest has a formation. We can only leave on foot."

Cinian glanced around and said, "Then let me lead the way."

Bai Xiangyu had no objections.

After all, Zen Master Cinian was a revered figure, and following him was undoubtedly the right choice.

The three of them had only walked a few steps when Cinian, with a hint of confusion, asked, "Nanli Daoist Friend, what’s wrong? Do you think we shouldn’t be heading this way?"

"Zen Master Cinian’s path is surely the right one," Nanli replied as she followed him.

Bai Xiangyu, concerned that she might fall behind, deliberately stayed behind her, holding his long sword, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

However, the bamboo forest was quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing. There was nothing else to be seen.

After walking for a short while, they no longer sensed the demonic energy. Instead, waves of rich spiritual energy greeted them.

"This is..." Cinian quickened his pace. As they walked out of the bamboo forest, they were met with an astonishing sight ahead: a massive pile of spirit stones!

The pile was as tall as a small mountain!

And they were all high-grade spirit stones!

Layer upon layer, the spiritual energy was thick and pure, and the stones gleamed brightly.

Nanli was stunned.

Bai Xiangyu became excited, his words stumbling, "High-grade spirit stones!? Oh my god, there are so many in this secret realm!"

He jumped into the air, getting a better view.

"There are even more piles behind!"

Cinian smiled widely, "We didn’t expect such an opportunity. Even in the Upper Realm, high-grade spirit stones are very rare."

"Indeed!" Bai Xiangyu was so excited that his face turned red. "Nanli, how many new Qiankun Bags do you have? To collect all these high-grade spirit stones, we’ll need at least ten new ones."

Before Nanli could respond, Cinian coldly remarked, "Nanli Daoist Friend, do you plan on letting an outsider divide our high-grade spirit stones? Quickly kill him, and we will split these spirit stones between us."
