Chapter 369: Peerless Beauty, Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox, Still Must

"Wait, if I were to spread the method of Qi-Blood Martial Dao to the mortals of the Xuanhuang World, wouldn't that greatly promote the development of the Xuanhuang World?"

At this moment, Zhou Sui stroked his chin, his eyes suddenly lighting up, feeling very excited.

To tell the truth, if it were still the Immortal Cultivation World of the past, teaching the method of Qi-Blood Martial Dao would not actually be a good thing for the humans of the entire Immortal Cultivation World.

Because the entire world was only so big; if a large number of cultivators emerged, I fear they would drain the pond to catch the fish, and a vast amount of resources would be consumed and picked clean.

Immortal cultivation was already extremely difficult to begin with, and in order to compete for resources, they would slaughter each other, resulting in heavy casualties.

If a large number of cultivators emerged, then the battles between cultivators would become even more intense.

It is possible that the great wars between numerous cultivators would end up destroying the entire world.

But now, it is different.

Because the Xuanhuang World has ascended to a Great Thousand World, its level has received a huge upgrade and leap.

Its territory has expanded further, and it is even still growing continuously.

Compared to before, the resources have expanded by who knows how many times.

Therefore, even if a large number of cultivators are added, for the vast Xuanhuang World, it actually does not amount to much.

It is merely a drop in the ocean.

Of course, Zhou Sui is not exactly a saint either.

It is impossible to say that this matter benefits mortals but does not benefit himself.

He is now the Lord of the Xuanhuang World, and he has obtained infinite Luck from the Xuanhuang World.

Therefore, the more powerful the Xuanhuang Sect develops, and the more powerful the Xuanhuang World becomes, the more magnificent his Luck will be.

By then, he will not just be a simple Destined Son of the Xuanhuang World; his Luck could even penetrate the Three Thousand Worlds, becoming a Son of Luck of the Endless Void.

The benefits obtained from that are simply impossible to describe in any words.

To tell the truth, Zhou Sui had previously experienced the power of the force of Luck.

As long as there is enough Luck, it is simply omnipotent, as if manipulating fate itself.

Even a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator can only be toyed with in the palm of one's hand.

It can be said that as long as one is protected by vast Luck, even a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator cannot kill a Qi Refining Cultivator; all sorts of accidents will always appear to stop them.

"Coming to the Spirit World is not without its benefits."

"Besides being able to obtain the resources of the Spirit World, one can also obtain the vast amount of cultivation knowledge of the humans in the Spirit World."

"This is the crystallization of wisdom developed by the human race over hundreds of millions of years."

"If one were to rely on the Xuanhuang World's own development, who knows how many years it would take."

"It seems I need to transport all the knowledge of the Spirit World's humans to the Xuanhuang World."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes, and he was very excited.

If he were to rely on creating knowledge himself, I fear it would also take hundreds of millions of years to reach the height that the Spirit World's humans have today; this is truly too much of a waste of time.

It would be better to directly copy, transport, and replicate the knowledge of the Spirit World's humans.

In this way, it is equivalent to the Xuanhuang Sect stealing the essence of wisdom from the Spirit World's humans over countless years, standing on the shoulders of giants.

Moreover, everyone is a member of the human race, so there is no distinction between us.

If the humans of the Xuanhuang World grow strong, then they can also help the humans of the Spirit World in the future.

It can be said to be mutually beneficial and helpful.

"A nearby human city is called Fengxi City."

"The City Lord is Fengxi Daoren, an Integration Realm Great Ability."

"This is a city newly opened by the human race, and it has been built for less than a thousand years."

"Therefore, there are a large number of Wild Beasts and various Demon Evils in the nearby forests."

"Human cultivators also often accept missions to leave the city and hunt Wild Beasts in the wilderness to earn resources."

"Perhaps I will go to Fengxi City to stay for a while, and then plan further."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

Swoosh!

Thinking of this, he waved his large hand and immediately picked up dozens of Storage Bags.

They were all left behind on these cultivators.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately sensed that there were a large number of Treasures inside the Storage Bags.

Besides various Pills, Spirit Medicines, and materials, there were also a large number of Spirit Stones.

And among them, there were quite a few Top-grade Spirit Stones.

In fact, the Spirit World, just like the Immortal Cultivation World of the past, uses Spirit Stones as the unit of currency.

But the quantity of Spirit Stones in the Spirit World is many times greater than in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Therefore, the prices are naturally higher than in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Ordinary cultivators use Middle-grade Spirit Stones or even High-grade Spirit Stones.

Basically, no one uses Low-grade Spirit Stones.

As for Top-grade Spirit Stones, they are the currency often used by cultivators above the Transformation of God stage.

Therefore, he found a total of 120,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones inside the Storage Bags.

This is a quite astonishing wealth.

"To think there are so many Top-grade Spirit Stones."

"As expected of the Spirit World, it is truly too wealthy."

Zhou Sui exclaimed in endless wonder.

To tell the truth, if it were the Immortal Cultivation World from before, it would be extremely difficult to find so many Top-grade Spirit Stones.

After all, only a Fifth-tier Spirit Vein can possibly gestate Top-grade Spirit Stones.

The problem is that the Immortal Cultivation World was previously damaged, and many Fifth-tier Spirit Veins were destroyed long ago.

Trying to find Top-grade Spirit Stones is simply incomparably difficult.

However, the Spirit World is different.

Here, Fifth-tier Spirit Veins are merely ordinary Spirit Veins and count for nothing at all.

Therefore, they also gestate one Top-grade Spirit Stone Mine after another, resulting in the Spirit World possessing a massive amount of Top-grade Spirit Stones.

One must know that the uses for Top-grade Spirit Stones are truly far too many.

They can serve as energy sources for Array Formations, can also activate Teleportation Arrays, or drive flying ships, Puppets, and so on.

Therefore, Top-grade Spirit Stones are simply the hard currency of the Spirit World.

No matter which race it is, they are incomparably eager to obtain Top-grade Spirit Stones, taking as many as come.

They simply never turn anyone away.

If the Xuanhuang World also had a large amount of Top-grade Spirit Stones, then it would be possible to spread Teleportation Arrays to every corner of the Xuanhuang World.

It is a pity that precisely because Top-grade Spirit Stones are scarce, it results in the Xuanhuang World only being able to set up Teleportation Arrays in some important places.

"Hmm, isn't this the Fifth-tier Treasure Pill, the Earth Flame Lotus Fire Pill?"

A glimmer of excitement appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

He found a bottle of Fifth-tier Treasure Pills from his Storage Bag.

It is said that the main ingredient of this type of Pill is the Earth Heart Flame Lotus, which belongs to Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine.

The problem is that this type of Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine went extinct in the Immortal Cultivation World long ago; there are not even seeds left.

So even if he wanted to refine this type of Fifth-tier Treasure Pill, it would be an impossible task.

He actually did not expect to find a bottle of Fifth-tier Treasure Pills here.

It is said that this Earth Flame Lotus Fire Pill can not only increase the cultivation of a Transformation God Cultivator, but it can also help a Transformation God Cultivator break through bottlenecks.

It can be said to be of immense value.

This Transformation God Cultivator also paid a great price to buy this Fifth-tier Treasure Pill.

But before they could even consume it themselves, it fell into his hands.

One has to say, this group of Cultivators truly counts as gift-giving boys; not only did they bring him a large amount of detailed intelligence regarding the Spirit World and the Human Race, they also brought many Spirit Stones and Pills.

It is convenient for him to increase his cultivation.

"With this Pill, breaking through to the Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage is no longer any problem."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

Of course, even without this Fifth-tier Treasure Pill, he would still be able to break through.

But since it can save his time, there is no need to cultivate bitterly.

Being able to save a bit of Longevity, he naturally saves a bit.

"Sure enough, the Luck is much less compared to the Xuanhuang World."

"But even so, my Luck is still at the Luck Golden Dragon level."

"It is just that it is only three inches long right now."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Through the power of the Luck Gu, he immediately sensed the Luck on his own body.

Compared to when he was in the Xuanhuang World, it has already decreased far too much.

That is to say, his staying in the True Spirit World does not make him some Destined Son.

At most, he counts as an ordinary person with great Luck.

However, this is also a very normal matter.

After all, as Ascenders, who among them was not a Son of Luck in their respective worlds? If they did not have sufficient Luck, they likely would not have been able to cultivate to the Spirit Severing realm, nor would they have been able to ascend to the Spirit World.

But after ascending to the Spirit World, it is different.

The vast majority of Ascenders will lose their previous Luck and become ordinary Cultivators.

They are unable to obtain the protection of the Spirit World's Luck.

As time passes, they will fade into the crowd.

If they are unlucky, they might even die in some tribulation.

Ascenders like Zhou Sui, who still possess golden Luck, are simply few and far between.

The reason why he still possessed golden Luck after arriving in the Spirit World is because the level of the Xuanhuang World is exactly the same as the Spirit World, and as the Destined Son of another world,

even if he arrived in the Spirit World, he would still enjoy the corresponding Luck.

Even if the Luck is much less, at the beginning, the Luck was still incomparably dense.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Sui happened to arrive in the territory of the Human Race.

This is not without reason, but rather the protection of Luck.

If it were an unlucky person, they likely would have fallen into some other place in the Spirit World long ago.

At that point, death would be certain.

"Although I have golden Luck, it does not mean that I can be reckless."

"If I encounter tribulations everywhere and the Tribulation Qi offsets my Luck, sooner or later I will exhaust the luck on my body."

"At that time, it will be a case of 'when luck departs, the hero is powerless'."

"I still need to be careful and cautious."

Zhou Sui recovered his former cautious attitude; if he were still in the Xuanhuang World, he naturally would not need to worry about anything, because he was the strongest person in the Xuanhuang World.

But the Spirit World is different; existences stronger than him are everywhere.

If one were to accidentally encounter an irresistible enemy, it would likely be a stroke of bad luck.

One still needs to be as cautious as possible and avoid all kinds of calamities.

Boom~~

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui immediately cast a technique, instantly destroying the corpses of these human Cultivators completely, obliterating the evidence to avoid anyone tracking him through these remains.

As long as this place is completely destroyed, no one will be able to detect his existence.

Whoosh!

Before long, Zhou Sui's figure flashed, and he immediately flew toward Fengxi City.

According to the memories of those Cultivators, the place where he was located is called the Leiming Mountain Range.

This place is home to a large number of powerful Wild Beasts, and it also nurtures many Spirit Medicines and mineral veins.

The resources are quite abundant.

That is why the Human Race wants to build cities in this place and expand the territory of the Human Race.

After a thousand years, the Human Race has gradually gained a firm foothold in this mountain range and can expand in all directions.

Many human Cultivators also frequently venture deep into the Leiming Mountain Range to hunt Wild Beasts, pick Spirit Medicines, and obtain various resources.

Right now, he is located in a part of the Leiming Mountain Range.

There is still some distance to Fengxi City.

Suddenly, Zhou Sui transformed into a streak of light and flew rapidly toward Fengxi City, his speed reaching an unimaginable level.

…………

At this very moment, in a certain part of the Leiming Mountain Range.

A group of beautiful female Cultivators were fleeing in a panic, being hunted by a terrifying fifth-tier Wild Beast.

It appeared to be a lion, several dozen zhang in size, with every strand of hair on its body containing crimson flames; from afar, it looked just like a fire lion.

If anyone knowledgeable saw this Wild Beast, their expression would surely change drastically.

Because it is the famous Red Flame Golden Lion Beast.

It can be said that it is an extremely famous Wild Beast, skilled in manipulating exotic fires; wherever it goes, everything turns into scorched earth.

If one is unlucky enough to encounter a pack of Red Flame Golden Lion Beasts, the flames they release will burn the boundless earth, turning this region into arid land or even a desert for thousands of years.

Even if it is just one, its strength is extraordinary, far exceeding that of a human Transformation God of the same rank.

"How could we encounter a Red Flame Golden Lion Beast?!"

The many beautiful female Cultivators turned pale, their faces ashen.

They had originally intended to enter the Leiming Mountain Range to hunt ordinary Wild Beasts and pick Spirit Medicines.

But who could have expected a Red Flame Golden Lion Beast to suddenly strike.

It immediately disrupted all their plans.

In a single encounter, they were instantly routed and could only flee in a panic.

"Sister Bai, what should we do now?"

The women couldn't help but look at a stunning female Cultivator beside them; she wore a long white dress that outlined a perfect figure, and a pair of phoenix eyes, charming beyond compare, making her look incredibly mature, like a ripened fruit.

That beautiful face was enough to bewitch all living beings, the kind that ignores gender and kills across the board.

Without a single flaw, she naturally exuded an innate beauty.

She was truly a femme fatale, capable of bringing disaster to a country and its people.

Every smile and every movement was enough to make one drool.

Even more strangely, unlike ordinary humans, she had golden, furry ears, and behind her was a golden fox tail that could sway according to her will.

It seemed that with a gentle sway, she could bewitch the minds of countless living beings.

If any Cultivator from Fengxi City saw this woman, they would surely recognize her immediately as the famous Bai Family Family Head, Bai Sujie, a Spirit Transformation Completion Cultivator.

It is said that she possesses the bloodline of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox, belonging to the half-human, half-demon race.

Of course, more importantly, she is known as the number one beauty of Fengxi City.

Her beauty has made countless male Cultivators feel moved and pursue her crazily.

But to this day, no one has succeeded.

The number of Cultivators willing to go through fire and water for her is simply countless.

"Don't worry."

"You go first, I will cover the rear and help you block the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast."

Bai Sujie said in a deep voice.

The cultivation of these sisters beside her is only at the Nascent Soul level; compared to the Transformation God-level Red Flame Golden Lion Beast, they are still far too weak, and they would be unable to withstand even the aftermath of the battle.

Therefore, she must let these sisters leave first so that she can escape calmly.

Roar!

As soon as the words fell, the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast rushed up instantly, letting out a roar, and a terrifying crimson flame pillar blasted over, releasing terrifying heat that could burn a thousand miles of land.

It could even easily pierce through and burn to death ordinary Transformation God Cultivators.

"Oh no."

Bai Sujie's expression changed, and she immediately took out a Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure from her person—the Ice God Ring.

At the same time, her massive Transformation God Dharma Power was poured into it, immediately activating the power of this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, and then releasing a massive amount of white icy energy, forming a huge ice wall, with dense icy Runes appearing on the wall.

Thud!

But Bai Sujie still underestimated the power of this fifth-tier high-grade Red Flame Golden Lion Beast; this crimson flame pillar easily pierced through this massive white ice wall, shattering it instantly.

At the same time, this force slammed into Bai Sujie.

Immediately, her entire body was sent flying, sliding for a distance of several hundred meters, carving out a shocking crack, with soil splashing everywhere, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

That stunningly beautiful face was simply pitiful to behold.

Boom~~

The other female Cultivators were also unable to withstand the aftermath of this impact; they were blown away one after another by the heatwave, slamming heavily into the ground and instantly creating huge deep craters.

The fierce might of the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast can be seen from this.

It is truly worthy of being a renowned peerless fierce beast in the Leiming Mountain Range.

Roar!

The Red Flame Golden Lion Beast stood on the ground, releasing the flames from its body to incinerate the earth; wherever it went, the ground was instantly scorched into molten lava, and the temperature rose sharply.

Steam sprayed from its nose, eyes, and mouth.

A pair of eyes stared fiercely at Bai Sujie and the others.

It seemed to have already regarded these beautiful female Cultivators as its food for tonight.

It was as if these female Cultivators would lose their lives to the Yellow Spring at any moment.

"It seems there is no other way."

Bai Sujie clenched her delicate fists, feeling this fatal crisis, and sighed.

Although she did not want to use her trump card, it had reached this point, and it was not the time for her to hide her skills.

Even if this trump card is used up once every time it is deployed.

But in order to survive, she had no choice but to use it.

Swoosh!

Just at this moment, a golden streak of light flew over instantly and happened to stop right above Bai Sujie and the others.

The person who arrived was none other than Zhou Sui.

He had originally intended to head straight to Fengxi City.

At the same time, he was not a meddlesome person.

But for some unknown reason, in the dark, it seemed that driven by some kind of power, Zhou Sui came to this place and happened to stop right here.

When he saw the many beautiful female Cultivators lying on the ground, among whom was a peerless beauty who outshone all the others, he was speechless and did not know what to say.

"Is this a hero saving a beauty?"

"Is this the peach blossom luck brought by the Sixth Rank Infatuation Gu?"

Zhou Sui felt helpless.

Ever since the Infatuation Gu advanced to the Sixth Rank realm, it had also nurtured a divine ability, which was peach blossom luck.

What was even more annoying was that this divine ability seemed to be a passive skill, not an active one.

Therefore, he had no idea when it would be triggered.

After arriving in the Spirit World, it seemed that this divine ability had finally begun to take effect.

And then it led him to this place.

To be honest, he did not want to provoke other strange women at this time.

After all, he was a stranger here, and he had just arrived in the Spirit World; who knew what the situation was here.

If he provoked a beautiful woman casually, it might not be peach blossom luck, but a peach blossom disaster.

"Roar!"

But at this moment, the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast sensed the dangerous aura coming from Zhou Sui, and it immediately regarded Zhou Sui as the greatest threat.

Its four hooves bent slightly, it assumed an attacking posture, and it let out a low growl, revealing its intent to threaten.

A terrifying flame energy was nurtured within its body.

It was almost like a small sun, containing a destructive aura.

"Be careful."

"This is a Red Flame Golden Lion Beast, which has mastered the Red Flame Strange Fire."

"Its power is infinite and burns everything; do not make contact with it."

"You hold it off for a moment."

"Once I recover a sliver of my Dharma Power, I can assist you."

Bai Sujie immediately spoke up to warn him; she could sense the cultivation of this strange man in front of her, which was only at the Spirit Severing Initial Stage, and normally, he was completely no match for this Red Flame Golden Lion Beast.

However, even though the other party knew his cultivation was inferior to the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast, he still stepped forward to help; he must be a righteous person, and she could not watch such a Cultivator die.

That was why she wanted to warn him.

But now that she had been fighting the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast for a long time and had been hit by it once, her Dharma Power was too depleted.

She still needed some time to recover some of her Dharma Power.

"No need."

"It is merely a Wild Beast."

Zhou Sui looked at the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast indifferently; although his current cultivation was only at the Spirit Severing Initial Stage, his combat power was terrifying and had long since surpassed the Spirit Severing realm.

Back in the Xuanhuang World, he could have rivaled three thousand Spirit Severing demons alone.

Even though the strength of this Red Flame Golden Lion Beast was good, in his eyes, that was all it amounted to.

It was not much different from ordinary Spirit Severing demons.

What?!

Hearing this, Bai Sujie and the others were stunned, looking at the man in front of them in disbelief; did this guy even know what he was saying?

This was a Spirit Transformation Completion level Red Flame Golden Lion Beast, a Wild Beast that was almost invincible at the Spirit Severing stage.

Unless a Refining Void Realm Cultivator took action, it could not be easily killed.

If it were Cultivators of the same rank, at least a dozen people would have to join forces to have a chance to contend with it.

Yet this man actually dared to say it was merely a Wild Beast; he was too arrogant.

Boom~~~

Clearly, at this very moment, the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast also felt the contempt of the Human before it; it was instantly enraged, practically hopping mad, and its entire body lunged toward Zhou Sui in an instant.

It transformed into a streak of crimson light, its body seemingly turning into the Red Flame Exotic Fire.

It seemed to want to burn Zhou Sui to ashes at the very first opportunity.

Whoosh!

The next second, Zhou Sui immediately drew the Zhu Xian Sword from his body, and a biting cold killing intent was released from him.

Vaguely, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, along with piles of white bones, seemed to appear behind him.

It was as if he were carrying countless aggrieved souls on his back.

Clearly, the Zhu Xian Sword, having integrated the killing intent of all living beings, had already grown into a peerless vicious sword.

The grade of this Flying Sword alone could likely rival a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

If one were to add the power of the Execution Immortal Sword Formula, it would be capable of cutting through anything, fully capable of erupting with a peak strike comparable to a Spirit Transformation Completion, with destructive power beyond imagination.

Thud!

Immediately, a terrifying black sword light roared over, locking onto the aura of the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast; its speed was so fast it was staggering, difficult even for divine sense to capture.

With a squelch, before the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast could even reach Zhou Sui, its massive body was struck instantly; the body was like tofu, easily sliced into two halves.

A massive amount of blood sprayed out as if it were worthless.

This sword light did not merely stop at splitting the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast; it also directly affected a great mountain a thousand miles away, instantly slicing that mountain in two.

A terrifying sword mark also appeared on the earth, stretching for a thousand miles, releasing a killing intent and sword intent that were terrifying to the extreme.

It seemed that if one were to get even slightly close, their Soul would be pierced by this sword intent.

As for this Red Flame Golden Lion Beast, it was also slain instantly, its very Soul torn into fragments.

Its massive body fell to the ground just like that, its eyes wide open, revealing an expression of terror, shock, and disbelief, as if it could not believe it had been slain by a Human with a single sword strike.

It did not even know what had just happened.

"This!"

Bai Sujie and the others all widened their beautiful eyes, staring at Zhou Sui and the Fifth-tier Wild Beast lying on the ground in a daze, each of them revealing an expression of disbelief.

To tell the truth, they had all felt a bit desperate just a moment ago.

Perhaps they would have been eaten by this Wild Beast today, becoming food in the belly of the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast.

But they had not expected a Transformation God to suddenly appear and slay this Red Flame Golden Lion Beast with just a single sword strike.

Such a thing was simply beyond imagination.

It was the first time in their lives they had seen such a formidable Transformation God.

No, something was not right; how could this man be handsome to this degree?

Only now did the women truly see the man's appearance clearly; their hearts could not help but thump, their faces flushed red, and although there were not few handsome men among Cultivators,

this was still the first time in their lives they had seen such a handsome man.

A face as if finely carved, perfect contours, two sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, and a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to contain endless charm, also bright and dazzling like the stars.

It was as if just by looking at you, he would suck your Soul inside.

This was simply a beautiful man who had walked out of a painting, like an immortal who had descended from the Immortal World; his temperament was refined, natural, like a fallen immortal, handsome to a heart-stopping degree.

Beautiful!

It was the first time in their lives they had used such a word to describe a man.

To tell the truth, they felt that their sister Bai Sujie was already a beauty of the highest order in the world.

But this man before them was actually on par with their sister, perhaps even a notch above.

One by one, they stared at Zhou Sui without blinking, unable to help but reveal infatuated expressions on their faces.

"How can this man be so handsome?"

Bai Sujie was also astonished.

It was the first time in her life she had such a feeling; her little heart was beating uncontrollably, her pretty face slightly flushed, as if she were slightly tipsy.

Could it be that when men in the world see her, they all feel this way?!

To tell the truth, she had never known what love at first sight felt like, but now she seemed to know.

It was that upon meeting, one could not move their eyes away, simply unable to extricate oneself.

"A Red Flame Golden Lion Beast? Merely this, not worth mentioning."

"You fellow Daoists should be safe and sound now, right?"

"I am Zhou Sui; may I ask the names of you fellow Daoists?"

Zhou Sui turned around and looked at Bai Sujie and the others.

"Do you not recognize Sister Bai?"

The many female Cultivators looked at Zhou Sui, each of them revealing a strange expression.

They had originally thought this strange Cultivator who suddenly intervened to rescue them must be a suitor of their sister, Bai Sujie.

But listening to the other party's tone, he did not seem to know their sister, Bai Sujie.

The problem was, throughout the entire Fengxi City, who else did not know their sister?

After all, their sister's fame was widespread; she was practically like a star, almost known to everyone.

For such a thing to happen was simply the first time in their lives.

"It is fine; it is quite normal for Daoist Zhou not to recognize me."

"If I am not mistaken, you must be an Ascender, Daoist."

At this moment, hearing Zhou Sui's words, Bai Sujie had already emerged from her slightly infatuated state; her beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at Zhou Sui, seemingly having already perceived the aura on Zhou Sui's body.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, the pupils of the many female cultivators contracted, and they stared fixedly at Zhou Sui.

As Nascent Soul Cultivators, they naturally knew exactly what an Ascender was.

The reputation of Ascenders had long since resounded throughout the Human Race.

After all, every cultivator who ascended from the lower realms was almost without exception a genius.

As long as they did not die, they were destined to become pivotal figures of great importance to the Human Race in the future.

They had not expected to encounter an Ascender in the Leiming Mountain Range.

The probability of such a thing was even lower than winning the lottery.

"That's not right, shouldn't Ascenders arrive in the Spirit World through the Ascension Platform?"

"How could one appear in this place?"

A female cultivator in blue asked with suspicion.

It was only natural for her to feel suspicious, as Ascenders basically all arrived in the Spirit World via the Ascension Platform.

Therefore, Ascenders would always appear within major cities and would not appear in the wilderness.

This was common knowledge.

"The world I came from did not have an Ascension Platform; I only successfully ascended to the Spirit World by breaking through a Space Node, which is why I appeared here."

"However, how did you know I was an Ascender?"

Zhou Sui looked at Bai Sujie with curiosity.

He did not care that his identity as an Ascender had been exposed.

Because according to the memories of those previous cultivators, Ascenders were still held in quite high regard among the Human Race in the Spirit World.

As long as an Ascender appeared, they would almost always be heavily cultivated by the Human Race.

After all, the situation of the Human Race in the Spirit World was extremely difficult, and they would place immense importance on any genius that appeared.

Not to mention that an Ascender, having ascended from a fiercely competitive lower realm, was a standout among the Human Race—a heaven-gifted talent chosen from among hundreds of millions.

Therefore, even if his identity as an Ascender were exposed, he would not encounter any danger.

On the contrary, he would gain the attention of the Human Race and receive focused cultivation.

More importantly, he could also clear his name and obtain a legal identity within the Human Race.

He would no longer be an undocumented person among the Human Race of the Spirit World.

It could be said to be killing many birds with one stone.

Exposing his natural talent might indeed make him a target for everyone and incite jealousy in others.

However, the current Zhou Sui was no longer the small Qi Refining cultivator of the past; he already had the power to protect himself.

Even if he encountered a powerful enemy, he could enter the space of the Immortal Artifact Mountain Sea Pearl and hide temporarily.

Even if he encountered a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator, they would not be able to break the defense of the Mountain Sea Pearl.

Therefore, he had long been in an invincible position.

It was precisely because of this that he exposed his identity as an Ascender without any hesitation.

Only in this way would he attract the attention of the Human Race, become an important member of the Human Race, and obtain a large amount of benefits.

"As for that, you Ascenders all possess a unique aura."

"It is completely different from us Spirit World cultivators."

"Perhaps low-level cultivators cannot detect it, but we Transformation God cultivators can perceive it with ease."

"Unless you live in the Spirit World for a very long time or are baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation of the Spirit World, such an aura will only gradually disappear and then completely merge into the Spirit World."

Bai Sujie explained.

It was precisely because of this that she knew the man before her was not a local, but an Ascender.

So, as an Ascender, it was only natural that he did not recognize her.

One could even say that what happened today was inevitably a coincidence.

The other party had not approached her with any ulterior motives.

At this moment, she looked at Zhou Sui seriously.

"No wonder you recognized me all at once."

Zhou Sui suddenly realized.

He knew that an Ascender's identity in the Spirit World could hardly be hidden and would basically be recognized instantly.

So from the very beginning, he had not intended to hide it; it would have been a futile effort anyway.

Whoosh!

Just at this moment, five streaks of light suddenly flew from the distance and arrived in front of Zhou Sui and the others in an instant.

Every one of them was a Transformation God cultivator.

"Daoist Bai, are you alright?"

"I just received news that you were being hunted by a Wild Beast, so I rushed over in a hurry."

A young cultivator in white immediately spoke up.

He looked at the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast that had already fallen to the ground, split into two halves, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

"Oh, I'm fine, thank you, Daoist Zhu Longting."

"But everything is fine now."

"Thanks to the timely assistance of Daoist Zhou, my life was saved."

Bai Sujie's beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked at Zhou Sui with great gratitude.

Although she did indeed still have a trump card to deal with this Wild Beast, every time a trump card was used, there was one less left.

If she were to use it this time, I fear she would soon have few trump cards left on her.

Therefore, she was still immensely grateful for the help provided by the man before her.

"So it was Daoist Zhou who stepped in to help."

"I am truly very grateful."

"If not for Daoist's help, I fear Bai Daoyou would have been in trouble this time."

The white-robed Cultivator Zhu Longting revealed a kind smile, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

But deep down, he felt extreme hatred.

Because the reason Bai Sujie was hunted by the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast this time was purely his own doing.

From the very beginning, he had left the scent of Golden Flame Spirit Grass on this group of female cultivators.

This was one of the Red Flame Golden Lion Beast's favorite foods.

Once discovered, it would rush over at the first opportunity.

He had originally intended to step in at the critical moment, play the hero saving the beauty, and win Bai Sujie's favor.

But who could have imagined that someone would suddenly intervene halfway and steal his thunder.

This caused his days of planning to be ruined in an instant, and this man might even win Bai Sujie's favor.

It could be said he was making wedding clothes for someone else.

At the thought of this, his heart was bleeding, and he wished he could hack this pretty boy before him into eight pieces.

"No need for thanks, it was only right."

"If it were anyone else, encountering a fellow clansman in distress, they would also step in to help."

"It is not worth mentioning."

Zhou Sui revealed an expression of righteous awe.

His expression was a bit strange, because his Heart Eye Observing Heart had been activated, and he had immediately heard the inner thoughts of this Spirit Transformation Completion Cultivator, Zhu Longting, knowing exactly what this brat was thinking.

To tell the truth, he had not expected that this ambush was actually a performance directed and acted by this brat himself.

If he hadn't intervened, perhaps he really would have succeeded.

Although he might not necessarily have won Bai Sujie's favor, he certainly would have gained a certain degree of affection.

Over the long months and years, he might have actually succeeded.

Zhu Longting?!

Why was this name so familiar? It seemed he had heard it somewhere before.

Right, the group of cultivators he had just finished off seemed to be people from the Zhu Family.

That Spirit Transformation Cultivator was named Zhu Jinhai.

The rest were all disciples of the Zhu Family.

That group had attempted to kill him and seize his treasures, but they were instantly killed by him in return and had now vanished into dust.

According to the memories of that Zhu Jinhai, the Zhu Family seemed to be a massive Refining Void Family in Fengxi City, and their Ancestor was a powerhouse of the Refining Void Realm.

They were a prominent and illustrious great family in Fengxi City.

This Zhu Longting also seemed to be a heaven-gifted talent of the Zhu Family; he was only three thousand years old, yet his cultivation was already at the level of Spirit Transformation Completion, and he had a high chance of stepping into the Refining Void Realm.

Once successful, the Zhu Family might welcome a second Refining Void expert.

This would also allow the Zhu Family's power to expand further.

To tell the truth, although Zhou Sui had obtained the memories of Zhu Jinhai and the others, the memories of these people were simply too vast.

It was impossible for him to know every detail of those memories.

Unless he happened to touch upon relevant matters, the corresponding memories would not be unlocked.

Otherwise, the information in the memories would not be triggered.

This was also an important measure for protecting his own Soul.

"No, no, no, this is not a matter not worth mentioning."

"Perhaps for Daoist Zhou, this was merely a small favor."

"But for us, it was a life-saving grace."

Bai Sujie looked at Zhou Sui very earnestly with her beautiful eyes.

What?!

Hearing this, Zhu Longting felt as if his heart were being stabbed by a knife; he wanted even more to cut this pretty boy before him into a thousand pieces.

If this man hadn't stepped in, the man Bai Sujie would be grateful to would have been himself.

But now everything had been ruined by this pretty boy.

However, in front of such a beauty, he naturally could not show the annoyance and hatred in his heart, and he still maintained the appearance of a refined gentleman, displaying his poise.

"Since that is the case, then I shall demand a reward for my kindness."

"You also know that I am a newcomer here and unfamiliar with the place."

"Perhaps I need a guide to help."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

"Hehe, Daoist Zhou, no need to be so formal."

"Just leave this kind of thing to me."

"It just so happens that we are also heading back to Fengxi City."

Bai Sujie blinked her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with a hint of charm, and the fluffy golden tail behind her swayed gently, as if she were in a very pleasant mood.

These two dogs.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Longting was practically exploding with rage; they had only known each other for how long, and they were already exchanging flirtatious glances.

Wasn't it said that Bai Sujie was extremely arrogant and never interacted much with other men?

What exactly is going on with this man?

How is it that as soon as they met, they were chatting and laughing with Bai Sujie, as if they had known each other for many years?

You have to know that he has been fawning over Bai Sujie for a very long time.

Yet even so, Bai Sujie was indifferent to him and rarely paid him any mind.

This kid, on the other hand, has only known her for a short while, hasn't even said many words, and has already developed this kind of relationship; may I ask if there is any justice in this?!

He felt that if he looked at this scene for one more second, his heart would explode.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, are you also returning to Fengxi City?"

Zhou Sui turned around and looked at Zhu Longting.

"No, no, I still have matters that require me to stay in the Leiming Mountain Range for a while."

"So I won't be returning with you all."

Zhu Longting forced a smile.

Originally, he also wanted to return, but he had just received news from his family that the family's Soul Transformation Elder, Zhu Jinhai, as well as many Zhu Family disciples, had died in the Leiming Mountain Range, their Soul Lamps extinguished.

He needed to head into the Leiming Mountain Range to investigate the cause of the family disciples' deaths.

Therefore, even if he wanted to return to Fengxi City, it was an impossible task.

"I see."

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhu has matters to attend to, then I won't disturb you."

Zhou Sui nodded.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

As soon as his voice fell, he waved his large hand and immediately collected the entire carcass of this Wild Beast.

After all, this was a Soul Transformation-stage Monster Beast, which could be said to be of immense value, with its entire body being made of materials.

If it were sold, he would certainly be able to obtain quite a few Top-grade Spirit Stones.

So naturally, it was impossible for him to discard this Wild Beast carcass; if he were to discard it, that would truly be a waste of heavenly treasures, and no one would be that stupid.
