Chapter 1764: Qiongxiao

"A strength-based cultivator who reached Hunyuan perfection?"

The three were stunned.

Do such people really exist?

Isn't it said that Pan Gu Tianzun failed in his path of strength-based enlightenment?

Yunxiao smiled: "I know what you're thinking. Pan Gu Tianzun didn't seek Hunyuan—he sought the Dao itself. That's why he failed."

"So that's it. Sister, when did you meet someone so powerful?" Qiongxiao asked curiously. "Aren't we always together, floating in the heavens?"

"I previously joined a chat group connecting all worlds," Yunxiao said seriously. "It has people from countless worlds—including people from our own world… In short, the myriad worlds are astonishing!"

"With this extraordinary connection, we too can attain Hunyuan enlightenment."

Qiongxiao was shocked: "Myriad worlds? Is there another Yunxiao sister?"

Yunxiao nodded: "Mm."

Qiongxiao: "Then does that mean there's another Qiongxiao too?"

"Of course. There's also Bixiao, and Brother Seventeen!"

Bixiao was stunned: "There are people with our exact names, born identically? That's too incredible. What became of their fates?"

"Their original fates weren't good," Yunxiao's expression darkened as she transmitted the story of the Divine Investiture across space to the three. "But ever since that Yunxiao joined the chat group, everything changed. With the help of Taixuan Daojun, she attained Hunyuan. Brother did too. And even you, Bixiao and Qiongxiao, gained a Saintly Seat, allowing you to contemplate the Three Thousand Divine and Demon Dao Fruits of that world."

"We all became Saints?"

"Wait, Sister, Bixiao and I only have one Saintly Seat—how do we split it? Half-Saints?"

Yunxiao laughed: "Of course not. You take turns—one of you contemplates for one Yuanhui, the other becomes Saint for one Yuanhui. With three thousand Divine and Demon Dao Fruits, I'm sure the Qiongxiao and Bixiao of that world will quickly attain Hunyuan too."

"They're so lucky!" Qiongxiao grumbled. "Sister, I'm Qiongxiao too—could Daojun possibly favor me?"

Bixiao chuckled: "That's a nice thought, little sister. But if Daojun likes anyone, it's only Yunxiao Sister—you've got no chance."

Qiongxiao huffed: "Bixiao Sister, don't dampen my spirits. I'm not unattractive either. But Yunxiao Sister, when can we meet Daojun?"

"Also, I really want to meet the other-world Qiongxiao."

Yunxiao rolled her eyes: "You want to meet everything—focus on your cultivation first. When you become a Da Luo Jinxian, I'll take you to meet our friends from the myriad worlds."

"Da Luo Jinxian?"

Qiongxiao huffed: "What's hard about that? With the Cosmic Tower, our cultivation speed shouldn't be slow, right?"

Zhao Gongming shook his head: "Not necessarily. Da Luo relies entirely on insight. Trying to leap from Tai Yi to Da Luo through magic power alone would take far too long."

Yunxiao nodded: "I'll guide you to the Cosmic Tower. Start cultivating now."

Bixiao blinked: "Then what about you, Sister?"

"I must go to harvest the Epoch Dao Fruit—to see if I can become a Semi-Sage."

She then recited the cultivation method of the Epoch Dao once more.

"Even if we don't necessarily follow the Epoch Dao path to enlightenment, more preparation never hurts."

Zhao Gongming nodded: "Sister speaks wisely. Better to prepare now than be left with no options later. Be careful when you go. That's also a Divine and Demon world, full of powerful beings—don't let anyone bully you."

Yunxiao smiled: "Brother, you worry too much. I have friends too. I've already arranged with the other Yunxiao—she'll guard me."

Qiongxiao's eyes lit up with eager anticipation.

She longed to meet the other-world Yunxiao Sister.

But Yunxiao pretended not to notice her expression, opened the portal of transit, and left immediately.

"Sister's such a tease—pretending to be clueless."

Bixiao laughed: "Enough. We have plenty of time ahead. Focus on cultivation first. We'll meet our other-world selves eventually."

Zhao Gongming nodded: "Indeed. If cultivation falters, we might end up walking the old Divine Investiture path again—sent to the Divine Investiture Scroll."

Qiongxiao bristled at the mention.

"When we meet the Twelve Golden Immortals and Ran Deng, we'll strike first and send them Guixi."

Bixiao sighed: "The Heavenly Dao's grand design won't change. Without Ran Deng and the Twelve Golden Immortals, others will take their place. Doing this is pointless—focus your mind on attaining Hunyuan."

Zhao Gongming nodded.

If it came to hatred, he certainly had his share.

But as a Tai Yi Jin Xian, he saw more than ordinary mortals.

If all of this was Hong Jun's scheme, what good would killing Ran Deng do?

Unless one gained the strength to guarantee one's own freedom, one would still walk the path of Divine Investiture.

"Thankfully, Taixuan Daojun is here—Hong Jun's scheme likely won't succeed. The Divine Investiture world has three thousand Divine and Demon Dao Fruits; this world probably does too. He won't abandon them."

Of course, he didn't voice this aloud.

Otherwise, with Qiongxiao's impulsive nature, she'd lose all motivation and cause chaos.

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
