Chapter 225

Gu Yu and the five others stood still like statues.

In the darkness, once again a deathly silence returned.

Bai Yu, however, seemed as if nothing had happened, her tone and expression extremely calm as she said: "Alright, what else do you want to know?"

The childish yet pleasant voice broke the silence in the darkness, causing Gu Yu and the five others to snap out of their daze as if waking from a dream.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yu said: "Miss Bai Yu, I want to know why people in this world can achieve immortality as Dou Zong, and also why, despite cultivating for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, they remain so weak."

Bai Yu suddenly felt she had been insulted.

She is a lotus that has cultivated for two or three hundred years, and only after a fortunate coincidence did she barely manage to awaken a bit of spiritual awareness ahead of time.

If it weren't for meeting Bai Yuan.

It is estimated that Bai Yu will never be able to take human form in this lifetime.

She will only do so after reaching a certain age of growth.

In her dazed state, she was harvested by a plant-type Soul Master.

Bai Yu replied expressionlessly: "My master and I said that it is because the rules of heaven and earth differ that this situation arose."

"The difference in the rules of heaven and earth?" Gu Yu muttered to himself.

Bai Yu went on: "One land nurtures its people; the rules of heaven and earth in this universe allow ordinary powerhouses to establish a divine realm and divine positions to achieve immortality."

"However, the divine position is both their aid and their binding; once one holds a divine position, unless the divine realm grows, it is nearly impossible to break through the level of that inherited divine position."

Gu Yu and the five others completely failed to understand.

But they felt it was very profound.

After thinking, Gu Yu again said: "Miss Bai Yu, since your cultivation system is not that of this world, you must not be from this world, right?"

Bai Yu pondered, then shook and nodded her head: "I am, but my master and mistress are not, so don't treat me as a child—I am at least two hundred years old."

Regarding Bai Yuan not being from this world.

His disciple and Gu Yue Na had also guessed as much.

They just never asked.

Gu Yu was stunned.

The other four were also startled.

Bai Yu said: "Alright, there's nothing more to chat about; let's instead talk about the trouble you've caused."

Gu Yu and the five others immediately straightened their expressions.

Before leaving, Bai Yuan had indeed said that.

They must first resolve their own issues before he will take them to see Xiao Xun'er, which would truly fulfill the task given to them by the chief of the ancient clan.

But earlier, because they wanted to know too much,

the shocking information was also too much.

Gu Yu momentarily forgot the most important matter.

"Please, Miss Bai Yu, explain clearly," Gu Yu and the five others said in unison.

Bai Yu said: "It's simple: you thirteen, running around on Dou Luo Star, have attracted the attention of the divine kings of the divine realm, and they are now coming to exterminate you."

Cold sweat broke out on the backs of Gu Yu and the five others.

Obviously, they had not expected to have been targeted by the divine realm.

The next moment, Gu Yu realized something was off; he slowly gazed doubtfully at Bai Yu's youthful yet exquisitely beautiful face and said: "Miss Bai Yu, we are both divine kings, so why do we not sense anything?"

Bai Yu glanced at Gu Yu expressionlessly and said: "Do you still think I'm joking with you?"

Gu Yu hastily apologized: "Miss Bai Yu, I didn't mean that; I'm just curious what the reason is."

Bai Yu said: "It's simple: they can draw on the power of the divine realm, whereas you cannot; moreover, because you cannot recover your battle qi, you dare not extend your perception too far."

"Thank you, Miss Bai Yu, for clearing up the confusion."

After thanking her, Gu Yu again said: "Miss Bai Yu, could you tell me the strength of the divine realm, and whether the seniors have any guidance?"

Bai Yu organized the information Bai Yuan had given her before leaving and said: "The divine realm has the Five Great Divine Kings and thirty first-rank gods; as for guidance, Master never intended to guide you—you just need to find a way to resolve this matter."

Gu Yu and the five others:???

They now suspected their ears were malfunctioning.

Five divine kings, thirty first-rank gods.

Moreover, they still cannot recover their own battle qi.

The opposing side can still draw on the power of the divine realm.

How are they supposed to resolve this?

Even if Gu Yu goes to gather the other two,

they would still have no chance of victory.

Bai Yu had already anticipated: "Master said that, for the sake of Junior Sister Xun'er, if you cannot win, he will spare your lives; but if your performance is unsatisfactory, you will lose the chance to become my junior disciple."

After Bai Yuan breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, the system will reward him with a full thirty-six binding slots; at that time, the vacancies will be many.

By then, if he binds three disciples equivalent to early-stage Spirit Transformation and gives them technique conversions, Bai Yuan's own cultivation will surely skyrocket like a rocket.

Therefore, at the moment of subduing this otherworldly divine king before them,

Bai Yuan had already made up his mind to take them as disciples.

However, because there are no binding slots available,

Bai Yuan is therefore not in a hurry.

Instead, he uses this as a way to paint pies.

Surely, it is not beyond Bai Yuan's expectations.

Upon hearing the chance to become Bai Yuan's disciples, Gu Yu and the five others could clearly feel their breathing become hurried.

You should know that that is a half‑immortal's disciple.

Even just by following them, they could at least become a Battle Saint.

And also eternal life in this world, right?

But in the original Battle Qi world, for the five of them, it can only be said to be impossible to achieve, even unimaginable.

After all, Battle Saints are also top‑tier combat power in the Ancient Clan.

Those who have the chance to become Battle Saints are all heaven‑chosen sons.

How could one possibly send them to this world of no return?

Gu Yu and the others' breathing all appeared very hurried.

Bai Yu really wanted to twitch the corner of her mouth, but she managed to keep her expression steady.

Gu Yu took a deep breath and said: "We will definitely give the senior a satisfactory answer, and we will definitely resolve our own troubles."

Those four followed suit, speaking in unison: "We will definitely give the senior a satisfactory answer, and we will definitely resolve our own troubles."

Bai Yu turned away, the corner of her mouth twitching.

She felt that she was following Bai Yuan's prepared words.

She had already talked the five people behind her into a dazed state.

At the same time, Bai Yu also began to greatly admire her master.

It is surprising that just with a few words, he made a God King, two Half‑step God Kings, and two First‑level Gods wholeheartedly work for him.

"What the mistress said is correct, the master's mouth is a deceitful ghost." Bai Yu couldn't help but complain in her heart about her master.

Gu Yu then spoke again: "Miss Bai Yu, I now want to first meet up with Gu Yun and Gu Xin, then discuss how to jointly deal with the matter of the Five Great Divine Kings of the Divine Realm. Would you like to join us?"

Bai Yu let out a long sigh, seeming helpless as she said: "All right then, who let my master be such a big lazybones; having spoken to you, I don't want to go find those two."

Gu Yu and the others again broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

The girl‑like person before us is truly spoiled.

How dare they casually speak ill of their own master.
