Chapter 291: That green robe!

The green-skirted little girl appeared exactly as she had when first seen, landing before Lu Xuan.

Her cheeks were delicately carved like jade, her lotus-root-like arms white as jade-carved snow were held before her chest; she conjured a stone stool and sat beside Lu Xuan, a pair of slender, fair calves crystal clear and flawless, making her whole person look ethereal.

Lu Xuan glanced at the green-skirted little girl, then resumed closing his eyes to nurture his spirit.

The green-skirted little girl bit her lip, looked at Lu Xuan, wanting to say something but held back, then turned to the Dao Xuan iron pot and asked.

"What are we eating today?"

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Boiled giant mutton, stir-fried spirit cicada, spirit pepper rabbit..."

The green-skirted little girl gave an "oh", then looked at Lu Xuan, "Hey, why aren't you speaking?"

Lu Xuan asked, "Aren't you the Heavenly Dao? You haven't gone without grains?"

The green-skirted little girl's hair flowed like a waterfall, shimmering with Dao Resonance light; her face was absolutely beautiful yet utterly adorable, and she said, "Don't you eat rice every day?"

Lu Xuan remained silent.

The green-skirted little girl wrinkled her lovely nose and began to talk about what she had been doing in the Imperial Realm region lately.

She searched everywhere for heavenly treasures that contained star core power.

She did find quite a few, but compared to the star core, they were utterly insignificant.

Lu Xuan figured it out.

She was frantically hinting...

This green-skirted little girl really wanted him to voluntarily hand over the Lower Origin Star Core.

But Lu Xuan remained unmoved.

Chen Zhangsheng silently thought, "Under heaven, only my master can stay so calm and composed before the Heavenly Dao."

Seeing Lu Xuan continue to lie down, the green-skirted little girl ground her sparkling little tiger teeth, pursed her lips, and a cute dimple appeared on her face, as if she wanted to bite Lu Xuan again.

Lu Xuan asked, "Is this the last time for the Supreme Path?"

The green-skirted little girl nodded, "This realm has exhausted its power. Quickly give me the Lower Origin Star Core, and I can tell you how to obtain the ultimate inheritance of the Bronze Ancient Hall!"

Lu Xuan shook his head, "No need."

The green-skirted little girl, huffing and puffing, clenched her tender little fist and hammered Lu Xuan's thigh.

Just then.

Chen Zhangsheng came over with steaming hot food.

Lu Xuan slowly rose, and the three of them ate together.

The green-skirted little girl ate while glaring at Lu Xuan with her big eyes.

Lu Xuan laughed and said, "Xiao Qing, when the time is ripe, I'll give you the Lower Origin Star Core—no problem."

The green-skirted little girl beamed with happiness, her dimple appearing, "Really?"

After a moment, she said again, "Xiao Qing? Is that the name you gave me? I'm not small—I've been asleep for who knows how many tens of thousands of years."

Lu Xuan said solemnly, "Actually, the star core you saw last time—I have plenty more. And that was just the lowest-grade Lower Origin Star Core; I also have a great many Upper Origin Star Cores."

Upon hearing that, the green-skirted little girl's tender mouth opened into an "O" shape.

Her snow-white little hands began to wander again, feeling all over Lu Xuan's body.

But after searching for a while, she found nothing.

The green-skirted little girl asked, "Are you a special space?"

Lu Xuan replied, "Yes."

The green-skirted little girl gave a light hum, glanced askance at Lu Xuan, and went back to eating, "I'm ignoring you."

Lu Xuan said, "When the time comes, I'll give it to you. Think of a way to make my few disciples cultivate faster."

The green-skirted little girl wrinkled her lovely nose, "They're already fast enough."

Lu Xuan said, "Even faster."

The green-skirted little girl thought, "I'll go out and think of a plan. However, once the Supreme Path opens, I might have to go back to sleep."

Not long after.

The green-skirted little girl put down her bowl and chopsticks and began to complain, "Don't lie to me. If you don't give me the star core when the time comes, the consequences will be dire."

Lu Xuan chuckled, "Sure, sure."

As he spoke, he patted the green-skirted little girl's head, feeling a mysterious sensation.

The green-skirted little girl gave a light hum, then stepped into the void and rose, "I'm heading to the region above the Imperial Realm."

Her voice faded!

She quickly vanished into the firmament above, leaving no trace in an instant.

Chen Zhangsheng, watching from the side, was astonished, "Master, as the saying goes, 'One cannot touch the tiger's tail'—this is the Heavenly Dao, yet you actually touched her head."

Lu Xuan chuckled, "To tread the tiger's tail without being bitten—good fortune. This Heavenly Dao incarnation is quite interesting. But even if she unleashes her power, I have no fear."

He does have a self-esteem experience card.

In this Primordial realm, the limit of Heavenly Dao power is a One-Star Supreme.

Therefore, no fear.

Chen Zhangsheng had nothing to say.

Lu Xuan asked, "You've dealt with the Heavenly Dao before—does she normally look like this?"

Chen Zhangsheng shook his head lightly, his eyes flashing as he recalled some past events, "Not like that. However, the Heavenly Dao is formless; having observed all manners of beings through endless ages, she already knows a thousand emotions and ten thousand desires, and can assume countless forms."

The green-skirted little girl just now is probably only one of myriad incarnations; she merely felt that this form could approach us, so she took it.

Lu Xuan nodded, "We should also enter the region above the Imperial Realm. Then you'll know the surprise I have for you. But before we leave, I need to clear obstacles for Fu Yao, Ye Chen, and the Grand Dao Sect."

Chen Zhangsheng gave a slight nod, indicating agreement.

…

Emperor Realm Region, the boundary wall.

This place is like a heavenly moat, brilliant Dao patterns constantly flowing, separating the two worlds; crossing this boundary wall allows entry to the region above the Emperor Realm.

Above the boundary wall, surges of power surpassing the Emperor Realm flow, giving rise to myriad phenomena that constantly shift in form, appearing profoundly mysterious and captivating the heart.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Void Rending!

Xuanji Holy Lord's figure is absolutely beautiful; she emerges from the clouds, a few strands of her white hair fluttering, her jade feet light and graceful, stepping out from the mist to gaze at this place's boundary wall.

In her mind, faint memories of some blurred scrolls linger; in the ancient era, she had once entered the region above the Emperor Realm, but after leaving the Bronze Ancient Hall, her memories were erased; now, seeing this vast heavenly canopy, fragmented, hazy images resurface.

Opportunities in the region above the Emperor Realm are extremely hard to obtain.

Compared to the Emperor Realm Region, it feels like ascending to heaven.

Her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings; she saw several Nine Star Great Emperors stationed not far from the boundary wall, some hesitating whether to step in.

Upon seeing Xuanji Holy Lord present, the strange and ominous powers on her body had become exceedingly thin; they all paid respectful obeisance.

"Senior Xuanji Holy Lord!"

"Holy Lord, you have already suppressed the strange and ominous powers!"

Xuanji Holy Lord remained silent, gazing at the boundary wall.

A Nine Star Great Emperor asked, "Holy Lord, we Nine Star Emperor Realm cultivators, if we enter the next region, can we obtain opportunity?"

Xuanji Holy Lord's vermilion lips slightly opened; she finally spoke, but only uttered a single word.

"Difficult!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Moments later, Xuanji Holy Lord stepped upon the void with her jade feet and directly entered the Emperor Realm Region.

Boom!

Mysterious power surged; the Dao and Rhyme flowed over Xuanji Holy Lord's body, and in the next instant her beautiful figure vanished before everyone's eyes.

Not long after.

Several Nine Star Great Emperors resolutely came before the boundary wall, gritted their teeth and stepped in directly, declaring, "Without stepping half a step into the Supreme, one cannot ascend the Supreme Path! Give it our all!"

But other Great Emperors hesitated and even turned back, murmuring, "When the Supreme is achieved, myriad ages wither; if choosing between the Supreme and life, I choose the latter."

Soon.

The news of Xuanji Holy Lord entering the region above the Emperor Realm spread.

Everyone was shocked.

Xuanji Holy Lord has already suppressed the strange and ominous powers; if she can find opportunity in the region above the Emperor Realm, returning to her peak may be imminent!

……

Stone Forest, a gathering place for the strong of the Monster Court.

Here the heavenly rules shift and change; the eternal, indestructible starry sky shines upon the vast stone forest on the earth.

Pig-Head Great Emperor Zhu Lie coldly gazed at Suoluo Great Emperor and others returning from the Ancient Great Medicine, his eyes icy, and asked, "How is the situation?"

……
