Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 827 - 354: Nothing But Poses on Her Mind (Part 2)

"But it might not be the case?" Zhu Nanzhi spoke softly: "The Upper Realm holds so many Human Clan cultivation secret manuals, coupled with the prestige of the 'Upper Realm,' won't it attract many cultivators enticingly?"

When immortals and mortals were separated, before the cultivation system was changed, the Ascension Realm moved towards the Upper Realm.

Although now immortals and mortals are unified, the mystery of the Upper Realm still inspires longing in many cultivators.

Even though the possession issue in the Upper Realm is no longer a secret, as long as possession doesn't fall upon oneself, there will be cultivators who hold onto fantasies.

"Sect Master Zheng wants to completely tear apart the mysterious veil of the Upper Realm."

Xiao Yinruo handed over the intelligence Jade Scroll sent from the Wandao Sect not long ago to Zhu Nanzhi: "The path to enlightenment lies in the Chang'an Domain, but for those from above wanting to come down, they must defeat a cultivator of the same realm from either the Five Sects and Seven Schools or the Changqing Immortal Clan.

How would the world view the Upper Realm if its cultivators, possessing endless heritage, perform mediocrely?"

"Moreover..." Xiao Yinruo looked at Zhu Nanzhi with deep meaning: "Even if there are capable people in the Upper Realm, once they truly set foot here, will they still be allowed to return alive?"

Saying this, Xiao Yinruo raised a finger pointing upward: "Now that a passage is truly opened, do those people above dare to come down directly?"

Zhu Nanzhi gently nodded, already understanding the meaning in her master's words.

If the Upper Realm cultivators show timidity, it's unnecessary for the Lower Realm cultivators to drag them down from the altar; they would fall off the altar by themselves.

But...

"Master, you mentioned the Changqing Immortal Clan earlier?" Zhu Nanzhi seriously looked into Xiao Yinruo's eyes: "Isn't the Lu Family also sending people to the Chang'an Domain?"

Xiao Yinruo feigned confusion: "'Bright Ancient Land' is a member of the Changqing Immortal Clan. Although the book records its reputation as ordinary, its current strength is not to be underestimated; naturally, they will send people over, what's the matter?"

Zhu Nanzhi shook her head: "Nothing."

"Hmm." Xiao Yinruo nodded, saying nothing more; when she came this morning, Yi Beiyao complimented her complexion, thus guessing that Nanzhi was probing.

Hmm... I shouldn't know Jin'an's identity for the moment.

She quietly glanced at Zhu Nanzhi, inwardly chuckling softly, thinking: compete with Master? Little girl is still too tender.

"You should tell Jin'an about this," Xiao Yinruo said lightly: "The Wandao Sect might ask Jin'an to return and oversee soon."

"If my husband returns, then those Upper Realm geniuses won't dare come down, would they?" Zhu Nanzhi's eyes gleamed with pride: "The Upper Realm cultivators might not even pass Qingyue's barrier."

Xiao Yinruo acknowledged with a sound, then asked: "Dingbei Pass is temporarily uneventful, why don't you also represent Qingmiao Palace and observe what skills the Upper Realm cultivators possess?"

"Mhm." Zhu Nanzhi readily agreed, for she could spend more time with her husband.

"If that's the case..." Xiao Yinruo slightly lowered her eyelids: "Wanyu's secret letter suggested organizing a secret team to hunt Upper Realm cultivators, why don't you take people and participate as well?"

Zhu Nanzhi readily agreed too, thinking her husband would surely participate.

"Since that's the case, go tell Jin'an about this matter, and by the way..." Xiao Yinruo looked at Zhu Nanzhi: "It's time to start breaking through the Physical Body Tribulation."

Zhu Nanzhi acknowledged with a sound, thinking she must bring Zhiyu to her master's Yunqi Palace tonight; otherwise, even if her Immortal Body wouldn't produce a Heart Demon, in such an unsettled state of mind, she couldn't focus on Crossing Tribulation.

"Go ahead."

"I'll help you for a while." Zhu Nanzhi blinked: "Disciple just arrived, doesn't want to go back so quickly."

Xiao Yinruo raised her eyes to look at her, saying nothing further.

If it were before, she would indeed wonder why Nanzhi, who would stick to Jin'an relentlessly, opted to stay now, but as for now...

She understood clearly.

Jin'an dared not be exposed.

Xiao Yinruo quietly clasped her legs together, hmm, she wasn't hungry, and let the disciple go hungry.

Qingmiao Palace sank into silence, only the sounds of master and disciple handling affairs remained.

In Tingquan Small House, Lu Jin'an floated cross-legged in mid-air, while deducing with the Time Rule and simultaneously pondering the "Soul Book."

Though the "Soul Book" is the best soul training method in the world, humans and spirits are ultimately not the same race, some parts are still unsuitable for humans.

At his current realm, he couldn't use the Time Rule to affect treasures like the "Soul Book," but this treasure is incomplete now, its power greatly reduced.

Of course, Lu Jin'an's primary objective wasn't this.

Although Aunt Ruo checked the "Soul Book" once, what if some content was deliberately omitted or modified by the Spirit Clan's Clan Leader?

Better safe than sorry.

Misinterpretations could be verified, but if he fell for the tricks of the Spirit Clan, it would be troublesome.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, Lu Jin'an is preparing a barbeque for Zhiyu. Zhiyu eats quickly, but he grills even faster, thanks to the convenience of Fire Spiritual Power.

Meanwhile, Qingmiao Palace also welcomes another hurried arrival of the Ling Queen.

Zhu Nanzhi follows Xiao Yinruo to the Purple Bamboo Pond. In their view, the Ling Queen, her eyes closed, has a thick cloud above her head, but it's not a cloud; it's a river.

Cangming Soul River!

"The promised Cangming Soul River." The Ling Queen faces Xiao Yinruo: "Empty this pond water."

Xiao Yinruo gently raises a hand, and the pond water, along with the fish, shrimp, and seaweed within, flows to the distance.

The Ling Queen opens her eyes at this moment, and from her nearly transparent eyes, the Cangming Soul River flows out, pouring into the empty pond.

Zhu Nanzhi glances curiously at the shadow above the Ling Queen's head; is this the shadow of the Sea of Consciousness?

Sne thought the Cangming Soul River was always above the Ling Queen's head.

The pond quickly fills up, and the Ling Queen says flatly: "Once separated from its source, the Cangming Soul River will turn into an ordinary river within seven days. Don't waste it."

Xiao Yinruo nods slightly: "Did Ling Haozi say anything about this?"

"It's my Cangming Soul River being wasted, so he said nothing."

Listening to the Ling Queen's voice, Zhu Nanzhi pouts; calculating such things, it seems this couple is only a couple in name.

"Take your time to check; I'll be leaving now."

The Ling Queen steps forward to leave, but Xiao Yinruo, with a gesture of a single hand, activates the Qingmiao Palace's Great Array in an instant, imbued with the Forget Love Path of an entire domain's Destiny, directly imprisoning the Ling Queen in place.

"Palace Master Xiao, what do you mean by this?" The Ling Queen's face darkens: "Are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing it, or use me as leverage for more of the Cangming Soul River?"

"Neither." Xiao Yinruo's voice is cold: "I don't understand the Cangming Soul River, so until Jin'an breaks through to Primordial Spirit Tribulation, you'll obediently stay at Qingmiao Palace. If anything unexpected happens, you can forget about returning alive."

"Nanzhi, go call Jin'an over, you two can cultivate together."

Zhu Nanzhi's eyes brighten, a mandarin duck bath?

Perhaps even a Divine Soul Dual Cultivation?

She quickly goes to call Lu Jin'an, while Xiao Yinruo leads the Ling Queen away.

The Ling Queen looks sullenly at Xiao Yinruo, but as things stand, she can't say much; she can only hope that Xiao Yinruo keeps his word after Lu Jin'an's breakthrough.

Under a large tree outside the Purple Bamboo Pond, Xiao Yinruo turns to the Ling Queen, smiling slightly: "Care to talk?"

The Ling Queen snorts coldly and closes her eyes directly: "There's nothing much to talk about."

"Just casual talk." Xiao Yinruo remains calm and breezy: "In the future, you'll be relying on the Human Clan, why not start preparing some relevant agreements now."

"When did you become so arrogant?" The Ling Queen sneers: "My clan has made concessions, but that's also because Lu Jin'an can step into the Immortal Gate!

If he dies before then, it all becomes meaningless!"

"You don't want him dead now, do you?" Xiao Yinruo smiles slightly: "Since that's the case, why worry?

Moreover, he is not merely the Saint Heir of Wandao Sect."

"What do you mean?" The Ling Queen frowns slightly: "Does he have another identity?"

"Lu Family's Young Master."

Although Jin'an hasn't mentioned which branch of the Lu Family he belongs to, given the reaction of the Seventh Miss Qin he casually mentioned, it should be the main line.

Then he should be the Young Master.

"Lu Family? Which Lu..." The Ling Queen narrows her eyes: "Bright Ancient Land?"

"Yes." Xiao Yinruo looks at the frowning and pensive Ling Queen, laughing lightly: "If he wants to die, it really won't be an easy thing."

The Ling Queen slightly lowers her eyelids: "Even so, the matters you want to talk about are too far-fetched, but there's another thing worth discussing with you."

"Oh?"

"The matter of Yunkong Mountain."

Slightly leaning against the tree, Xiao Yinruo, arms crossed, looks up at the night sky, silent for a moment before speaking: "Let's hear it."
