Chapter 129: First Glimpse of a New Divine Path

"Sister Miaochang!"

Qingnv, who had yet to fully regain her senses, saw this scene and gave a start, reaching out to grab the young nun back.

But it was already too late; the vortex portal spun and closed.

Li Yu was equally startled; being swarmed and submerged by a multitude of "Undying Women" was already distressing enough, and now this additional complication had arisen.

This was a situation he had brought upon himself, so he had no room to complain.

He had no choice but to shift forward, reaching out to catch the young nun as she tumbled into his arms.

"Brother Ren Shou, you truly didn't die."

"Sister Miaochang has been worried for so long; finally, I can rest easy."

Held in Li Yu's arms, the young nun felt nothing amiss; instead, her small hands couldn't help but touch Li Yu's real body, confirming he was truly unharmed.

Her tense little face finally relaxed quite a bit.

Seeing this, a rare trace of guilt surfaced in Li Yu's heart.

"Followers of Evil God sects usually suffer physical mutations due to the backlash of evil energy."

"Followers of True God sects, however, mostly suffer from issues with their heart-soul and temperament."

"The way I exited last time was indeed too extreme; it dealt a heavy blow to the heart-soul of this young nun who had just stepped into the world, causing her to become somewhat unhinged."

As these thoughts crossed Li Yu's mind, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

Glancing around, he immediately sensed the source.

All around him were "Undying Women," surrounding him in a dense crowd, all watching him with expressions of greed and possessiveness.

Because of this, they felt jealousy toward Sister Miaochang, who was beautiful and had successfully received special treatment from Li Yu, the prey.

Li Yu had already gained some understanding of the characteristics of the Undying Women.

He understood that if this continued, the young nun would be in great danger.

He pushed the young nun away and whispered to her: "Play along with my act and take the chance to escape; I am currently a Sequence 6, so it's easier for me to get away."

Outwardly, after letting her go, Li Yu put on a look of disgust, glared at the young nun, and said angrily:

"Pah, pah, pah! Even if you died, I wouldn't."

"Seeing a nun brings bad luck; don't touch me randomly, get lost quickly!"

Sister Miaochang was not stupid; on the contrary, she was quite intelligent.

Once she confirmed Li Yu was alive, the shock to her heart-soul dissipated, and her wisdom returned.

Catching a glimpse of the expressions on the faces of the Undying Women nearby, her heart skipped a beat, and she followed up with a brilliant performance.

A look of grievance appeared on her already delicate face, and she began to sob instantly.

While shouting "I'm leaving, then," she prepared to use a movement technique similar to "shrinking the earth to an inch" to flee the area.

She didn't actually want to leave, but she knew that staying would only make her a burden to Brother Ren Shou.

At the same time, she felt joy and gratitude; after all, in such a dangerous moment, Brother Ren Shou was still concerned for her safety, proving her previous assessment was entirely correct—Brother Ren Shou was definitely a good person, not a wicked evil cultivator.

The coordination between the two was very harmonious and tacit, practically flawless.

Alas!

Their opponents were no ordinary beings.

The Undying Women sneered, each took a step forward, and directly blocked the young nun's path.

Immediately, mocking voices came:

"You are pretending."

"You are very happy in your heart, and very moved."

"You like him."

"We cannot read the mind of this man, but we can read yours."

"You dare not express it; we will help you. Join us."

As these words entered their ears, Li Yu and Sister Miaochang's expressions changed simultaneously.

Neither of them could fail to understand that, besides infinite proliferation and fusion, the Undying Women also possessed the shameless ability of "mind reading."

Although they couldn't read Li Yu's thoughts, they could read Sister Miaochang's.

While speaking, the Undying Women had already made their move.

Snow-white palms, full of charm and danger, landed on Sister Miaochang's body.

In an instant, a curse pollution many times more intense than before entered the young nun's body.

Unlike before, Sister Miaochang's body began to change.

Visibly!

Her bald head began to sprout hair, instantly growing a full head of black silk that cascaded down.

Her already fair skin began to glow.

A tear mole appeared out of thin air beneath the corner of her eye.

Her face, originally delicate and pure, instantly became mysterious and alluring.

An extremely intense "contrast temptation" manifested before Li Yu.

What made him feel even worse was that the changed Sister Miaochang no longer had that delicate, weak look in her eyes, but rather an extremely intense possessiveness toward Li Yu.

The intensity was even greater than that of the surrounding Undying Women.

Fiery and undisguised.

She walked toward Li Yu step by step, stretching out her hands to embrace him; it was clear that other crazy actions would follow.

Meanwhile, the remaining Undying Women surrounded the two, each with a mysterious and expectant smile on their extremely charming and beautiful faces, muttering words.

Li Yu, whose hearing was now extraordinary, heard every word clearly:

"Yes, that's it." "Don't hide it, don't restrain yourself, be indulgent."

"Possess him... occupy him... enjoy him... dismember him."

"Only by killing him can you never lose him."

Every sentence sent shivers down Li Yu's spine.

Looking at the young nun who had completely lost herself, Li Yu hesitated no longer and decided to use his greatest trump card.

There was simply no other way!

These "Undying Women" were all unsolvable curse pollutions.

He couldn't escape, and he couldn't kill them all.

What made Li Yu feel most uneasy was that he didn't know if what was being presented now was the full extent of the Undying Women's abilities.

=9+Book_Bar

If it wasn't, things would be even worse, so he had to find out clearly.

With a thought, Li Yu acted.

At the corner of his eye, the ninth "Truth Bubble" shattered.

Li Yu didn't have time to examine the further powers, as his Truth Soul Body instantly drifted out, letting the young nun embrace his body.

He chose a nearby Undying Woman, reached out to touch her, and even began to grope her instinctively.

In his mind, questions covering all aspects of knowledge surfaced, and before long, secrets that left Li Yu astonished erupted.

"Undying Women!"

"Their true identity is 'Evil God Progeny.' As a remote, small country, in order to protect its territory during the great melee, the Vortex Nation held a ritual to summon an extraterrestrial Evil God they had worshipped for years, seeking a cultivation path unique to them."

"The Evil God responded to the believers' summons and descended a small piece of flesh from afar, but unexpectedly, this flesh was caught in the battlefield of the gods during its descent and was severely damaged."

"By the time it descended upon the Vortex Nation, it had lost most of its divinity and instinctively wanted to devour the entire Vortex Nation to heal itself."

"This act triggered a civil war in the Vortex Nation, ultimately leading to mutual destruction; the entire territory of the Vortex Nation turned into a Mystic Realm, and the place where the Evil God's flesh fell became a forbidden zone of ruins that could not be entered."

"Before falling into a deep sleep, that piece of Evil God flesh fulfilled the agreement by precipitating a portion of divine source quality, thereby deriving an incomplete Divine Path."

"This path currently has only three sequences: Leech, Witch, and Undying Woman."

"The secret medicine formulas and extraordinary characteristics are all carried by the portion of source quality precipitated by the Evil God, which is all the 'Undying Women' within the Mystic Realm."

"To some extent, the Undying Women are the progeny of the Vortex God's progeny."

"Because the main body has fallen into a deep sleep, she cannot unseal her power and is limited to Sequence 6, Undying Woman."

"Because they are transformed from divine source quality, their power far exceeds other Sequence 6s."

"Obtained the secret medicine formula and advancement ritual for Sequence 8 'Leech' of the Vortex God Path."

"Obtained the secret medicine formula and advancement ritual for Sequence 7 'Witch' of the Vortex God Path."

"Obtained the secret medicine formula and advancement ritual for Sequence 6 'Undying Woman' of the Vortex God Path."

When these portions of extraordinary secrets and the three secret medicine formulas surfaced in his mind.

At the corner of Li Yu's eye, the eleventh Truth Bubble, which was still charging at a snail's pace, instantly leaped forward by a large margin.

If he wasn't mistaken, Li Yu was perhaps the only living person in this world who knew of this 【Vortex God Path】 that had never been passed down.

However, he felt no joy, because these pieces of information meant that Li Yu was currently trapped in a desperate situation.

These Undying Women were transformed from source quality precipitated by Evil God flesh?

She remained at Sequence 6 because this path currently only had up to Sequence 6?

Li Yu finally understood completely why the death rate of this Mystic Realm was so high.

"Outside the core ruins of the Mystic Realm, there exists a large group of 'Evil God Progeny' whose strength far exceeds Sequence 6, or even Sequence 5. How could the death rate not be high?"

"Although they only appear during the second round of the Curse Storm, once they appear, there is almost no way for outsiders to survive."

"Is there... no weakness?"

As Li Yu raised new questions in his mind.

More secrets flowed and surfaced:

"All Undying Women are split from the original 'Undying Woman,' who was the combination of that portion of divine source quality and a princess of the Vortex Nation; she considers herself the daughter of the Vortex God."

"In the long years of the Mystic Realm, she gradually split into many individuals, thereby forming a certain hunting rule."

"All individuals follow the rule and indiscriminately hunt all intruders."

"Calling her true name can forcibly awaken her from the rule state, causing her to re-fuse into the original Undying Woman."

"At that time, she possesses wisdom that can communicate, and perhaps one can negotiate with her."

"She has an obsession in her heart: to return to the depths of the ruins, find her mother, and resurrect her."

"But she cannot break through the death barrier released before the 【Vortex God flesh】 fell into a deep sleep..."

"Besides this, she also fears high-sequence flames."

When Li Yu saw this, his eyes lit up.

Undoubtedly, the Undying Women had almost no weaknesses and were terrifyingly desperate.

Those so-called high-sequence flames were likely Sequence 5 or Sequence 4; at the very least, the Dan fire of a Sequence 7 Alchemist wouldn't work and couldn't hurt the Undying Women in the slightest.

But the fact that she could be communicated with was enough for Li Yu to make a move.

He touched the Undying Woman again, but found no other gains.

Sensing something, he looked back and immediately saw that behind him, the young nun Sister Miaochang had stripped herself completely naked and had also begun to pull at his clothes.
