1160: Chapter 345: The Woman on Zhenyou Mountain_2 1160: Chapter 345: The Woman on Zhenyou Mountain_2 Above the throne, it was not the ice-enveloped woman, but a radiance, much like a bird nest.
Baiyin circled around it a few times and frowned, asking, “Why is there no aura of the Netherworld King?
Has the mighty Netherworld King really dissipated?”
“Hey!” Baiyin poked at the bird nest on the throne, “Do you have a way to contact the Netherworld King?”
The radiance on the throne spun, and after a long while, it replied with a squeak, “Squeak!”
“Stupid?” Baiyin wondered.
This thing really seemed devoid of spiritual intelligence, capable only of squeaking.
Baiyin’s expression was as if it could speak for itself; one could tell what she meant just by looking at her: The mighty Netherworld King, and his artifact refining skills are this shoddy?
Baiyin, tapping her finger, inspected the radiant bird nest, her brow gradually furrowing.
She hummed, a trace of defiance in her eyes.
“Clearly capable of summoning the remnant will of the Netherworld King, but I, an Immortal Sovereign, am not qualified?
Even an Immortal Sovereign isn’t qualified, are you planning a rebellion?
Only if the Taoist Ancestor personally comes will you appear?”
“Even this broken thing has been refined to perfection, impossible to alter; how can I add some spiritual intelligence into this?”
The Netherworld King, when creating, utilized practicality to the utmost; he didn’t provide any intelligence, which could only be slowly grinded out through acquired efforts, a task as slow as dripping water that wouldn’t see results even after millions of years.
Even after hundreds of millions of years, a stone would still be a stone.
Baiyin’s eyes rolled around rumblingly, “Shall I give you a hand?
Change your form to have the most intelligent appearance in the whole world.
Thus it must assist you in quickly forming spiritual intelligence!”
She did as she said, extending her tender jade-like finger and touching the bird nest.
The radiance of the bird nest squirmed like flowing water, gradually shaping into a human form.
A peerlessly beautiful woman landed on the throne, regrettably fully clothed as soon as she formed.
Looking at the face that resembled her own, Baiyin nodded in satisfaction, circled around twice, then thought of something, her face showing a hint of nervousness, “Hey hey, let me tell you!
You better not impersonate me to mess around.
If you ever meet a sleazy thief, he’s a Dragon Turtle that can transform his head into a human body, don’t flirt with him, nor let him flirt with you—he’s mine!”
Having said that, still seemingly worried, she swung her small fist, “Dare to mess around, I’ll hit you.”
As she spoke, Baiyin’s expression changed, and even her voice changed—”Or maybe you should mess around a bit?
Seems like it could be fun.”
The flashback stopped here with a poof, and Su He looked at the woman on the throne, “That’s it?”
The woman was silent for a long while, struggling to say, “No…
flirting with you!”
Su He: “…”
“What did you summon me here for?” It couldn’t be just to tell him not to flirt with her, right?
The woman was silent for a moment, “Master…
wants to see you.”
Master?
Netherworld King?
“Second Senior Sister?” She addressed herself very simply, her name and title being the same.
“I’m here.” Just as Su He spoke in confusion, the woman’s aura on the throne had completely changed, her voice no longer simply cold, but cold with a hint of clarity.
Ice slowly melted off her body, revealing a perfect figure.
She looked down at Su He, and after a moment spoke, “Before the Jiazi year, Third-fold Heaven can be opened.
Your cultivation is slightly slow.”
Su He: “…”
Why do all these beings think his cultivation is slow?
Apart from him, who isn’t at the stage where they could open the Four-fold Heavens anytime before reaching Jiazi?
Su He smiled wryly, “Senior sister called me here, may I know if there are any orders?”
Probably because she had seen many Greater Powers, Ji Feixue carried the aura of an Immortal Sovereign, but spent all day transforming into a Dragon Body to tease him.
Baiyin was genuinely an Immortal Sovereign, but Su He was still holding her hand, which allowed for some teasing.
Tan Tai was similar.
Thai Zu was stronger, but he was an old youngster, who hardly maintained the façade of an old master in front of Su He.
Slowly tempered over time, even facing the full might of the Netherworld King, Su He could remain indifferent.
A trace of admiration flickered in the Netherworld King’s eyes, “Since you have rung the Ascending Immortal Drum nine times and witnessed the master’s spiritual treasure, you are indeed my youngest brother.
Our master is missing, senior brother is absent, junior brother has reincarnated, and since I have a strand of Divine Thought here, I should indeed meet you.”
Su He smiled and bowed, “Thank you, senior sister.
But seeing me won’t exhaust your Divine Thought, right?”
These beings leaving behind Divine Thoughts all had their plans, and any damage before the appointed time might lead to total loss.
The Netherworld King shook her head, “No worries!”
Even just a strand of Divine Thought was not something an ordinary person could compare to; not to mention, killing the current Su He would still be no problem.
She looked at Su He, her voice as cold as before, “Now that you’re part of the lineage, you may cultivate at Xuanting, Zhenyou, or Guiwang Mountain.
We will open all restrictions for you, or you can choose to raise your own mountain now.”
A flash of stars from her eyes fell into Su He’s, the privileges due to a disciple of the Taoist Ancestor all passed on.
Initiating a disciple might just be the real reason she awoke.
“But—” the Netherworld King continued, “If you raise your mountain now, you must also bear the responsibilities that come with it.
I suggest you wait until you reach Five-fold Heaven to raise your mountain.”
A disciple of the Taoist Ancestor naturally wasn’t just about fame and convenience; they also bore tremendous responsibility.
Seeing Su He about to speak, she raised her hand to stop him, “Without raising your mountain, I won’t tell you anything.
Once you raise your mountain in All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, you can learn anything.
You don’t need to rush your decision; decide when you return to your own time.”
Reaching Five-fold Heaven was trivial if he was willing to work hard; it wouldn’t take long.
Su He took a deep breath, “Then there’s nothing more.”
The Netherworld King…
knew he didn’t belong to this time!!
