Chapter 193

That instant! As strong as Xi Wangmu, she was dumbfounded.

She was certain there were no spatial fluctuations around; even if there were……

The little girl truly is the lord's disciple; the lord taught her the secret to leaving this place.

Her aura still sealed the perimeter; how could such a little girl possibly tear open space and leave under her seal?

"Hey!"

Xi Wangmu shouted.

She guessed the little girl was still there, she just couldn't see her.

This is normal; before, she had always felt something approaching the Dao Lord, but she could never see it.

The facts prove she wasn't mistaken— that thing is this little girl……

"Come out!"

Xi Wangmu shouted at the air again.

But how could Shen Qingli possibly exit space?

Impossible.

Her legs are so weak now!

Moreover, her divine power has been drained; if she goes out, she'll have no strength to fight back.

Why come in? Isn't it just to take the chance to recover a bit, then go out and continue talking?

"A Li, A Li, are you alright?" Jiu Li had already come over to show concern.

The deathly pale Shen Qingli was certainly not alright: "I'll recover first; you must not disturb Xi Xi, understand?"

"Okay~" Jiu Li nodded! Then she saw little brother Jiu Ying peeking out?

It immediately went over and grabbed the little brother away, so as not to disturb Shen Qingli's recovery.

It also began cultivating; it must help A Li~

Shen Qingli, already sitting cross-legged, swiftly activated the God-Demon Transformation; the nine-attribute spiritual qi immediately poured in from all directions of space.

Without a dantian, she could, via the God-Demon Transformation technique, directly convert spiritual qi into divine power.

In this process, spiritual power that does not pass through the dantian constantly tempers her physique!

Moreover, it is tempered by the nine attributes together, so her flesh is actually far stronger than that of peers at the same level.

If she were not outside the space, Xi Wangmu would now clearly see——

Shen Qingli's nine meridians, transformed from her dantian, faintly linked her other meridians into the pattern of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

At this moment, the seven mansions belonging to the Southern Palace blazed brightly!

While the twenty-one mansions of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise glimmered faintly, they were still not obvious.

Shen Qingli, upon inner vision, also noticed this!

"God-Demon Transformation, Twenty-Eight Mansions, Four Spirits,"

Shen Qingli felt she was indeed riding a wave of fortune, luck upon luck.

Xi Wangmu's overbearing divine pressure actually helped her fully penetrate the nine meridians, not to mention—

These manifested Twenty-Eight Mansions aren't they indicating that as long as she awakens the divine power of the other three emperors, her demon-god transformation can advance another level?

"Those three Four Spirits Divine Emperors are clearly in league with the mother and daughter; otherwise they wouldn't have 'mistaken' me for Bi Lian." Shen Qingli snorted coldly in her heart.

Originally she could also awaken slowly through the divine sources of those three god emperors she had previously devoured; it would just take some time.

She had confidence in her talent; she would surely awaken!

But now, there's no need; they've come to the door themselves to 'atone'.

Rather than wait for them to discover she isn't Qin Bilian, why not strike first?

Originally they provoked her first; could she and her empress mother be so easily schemed against? They'd definitely have to pay a price.

"Next step, take care of them all."

Shen Qingli resolved in her heart and began to concentrate fully on recovering.

As for how to do it, of course it's best to do it secretly; if that's really impossible, doing it openly doesn't matter either!

This is all for later; the most urgent thing now is how to get that person outside to let her go! If they still don't believe her disciple identity, that's no good! She must make the other side at least suspicious, otherwise Uncle Jin, Ninth Brother, and the others will be in danger.

In fact——

Jin Wu's eyelids kept twitching!

Even after becoming a god, one will still sense danger that threatens oneself.

His first move was to notify Xiao Yuying to take Shen Qing Tong away from the Dao Palace, preferably leaving Central Shen Ting ahead of time.

However, the Queen Mother of the West didn't come to cause trouble for Jin Wu; she remained stationed where she was! Full of patience.

As for Shen Qingli, she didn't keep her waiting long either, after all there was a hundredfold time difference in that space.

It was just the time to finish a cup of tea, and she appeared holding Jiu Li.

"West,

Shen Qingli had just made a sound when the Queen Mother of the West appeared before her.

"You are merely hiding."

The Queen Mother of the West examined Shen Qingli up and down, still unable to see any flaw in her.

"In that case, you believe my words, right?"

Shen Qingli looked up at the much taller Queen Mother of the West, her gaze still calm and composed.

"It's just relying on external objects, not your own reality."

"You don't even look at how old I am?"

"......"

The Queen Mother of the West fell silent.

Shen Qingli is indeed young.

From her eyesight, one can see she hasn't yet turned twenty.

This is actually also the heaven-defying aspect of space!

It will invisibly consume her lifespan, but will not truly make Shen Qingli experience the passage of time.

In other words, to outsiders she appears to have secluded for only one day, but she actually secluded for a hundred years!

Furthermore, with her innate talent, she is like a being whose cultivation can soar without practice—as if a nap makes her stronger……

You haven't increased your cultivation yet?

The Queen Mother of the West suddenly asked! The topic jumped too much, and Shen Qingli had to react a moment before nodding.

I also have to thank you for your earlier sonic boom attack and just now's divine pressure tempering, which helped clear my meridians.

In response, Shen Qingli sincerely thanked, already hugging Nine Li and bowing down; Nine Li thought she was being quite pretentious.

Look, look what you've made the Queen Mother of the West into!

The Queen Mother of the West, meanwhile, has indeed been angered to laughter.

I only wanted to kill you, not to help you.

The first time I wanted to kill you, the second time I truly didn't.

You are quite clear-headed." The Queen Mother of the West sneered, "Don't think that saying a few obedient words will let you go—where is Your Majesty?"

Well, he really went to the place he should go." Shen Qingli knew she couldn't bluff, "You surely understand as well—with my small frame, I can't possibly contend with my master; it can only be his own will."

That's true." The Queen Mother of the West had no doubt, "But it's also possible you're playing tricks! No matter what, I must see Your Majesty, otherwise you can't go anywhere!"

Within three days, Your Majesty must return here! Otherwise, you and your fleeing Vermilion Bird Palace people, including the Vermilion Bird Empress, will not escape!" The Queen Mother of the West is not joking; she will really lead troops to pacify the Vermilion Bird Palace.

I—

Shen Qingli had just opened her mouth when she could no longer see the Queen Mother of the West.

Really a no-nonsense lord, only acknowledging facts.

But she had just seen that Di Jin was truly in seclusion.

The Fusang Divine Tree had already wrapped him up more tightly; moreover, he had obviously lost his consciousness and cannot be awakened.

But Shen Qingli instead does not regret having quickly dragged him in just now; his situation is indeed very bad.

Perhaps if she had hesitated a moment earlier, he might not have been able to recover at all; no, even now he is extremely likely unable to recover smoothly.

He has no divine source.

This is the feedback she received when stroking the Fusang Divine Tree.

He is essentially rootless duckweed, so he is that cold because, in a sense, he is already dead.

The reason he can still exist in the form she sees is only because his own Dao arts are marvelous and extremely domineering; otherwise, no deity could possibly 'live' without a divine source.

A Li?

Nine Li softly called out.

Shen Qingli came to her senses, but her complexion was still not good.

Although Nine Li cannot communicate with the Fusang Divine Tree, she can also tell that Di Jin's condition is bad.

But they now have no other choice, huh? 'Let's go out first?'

Mm." Shen Qingli nodded, then walked out.

But the Queen Mother of the West's voice came again, carrying a warning——

Don't think I really believed your nonsense; you are still a prisoner!

Shen Qingli's steps did not stop; she of course knew the Queen Mother of the West could not possibly truly believe that!

As for three days later, without Di Jin as a precondition, how to make the Queen Mother of the West believe her?

No need.

Whether the Queen Mother of the West believes or not, it's actually not important at all.
