Chapter 284

Meow~

Nine Black quickly meowed a warning!

Shen Qingli tried to pull Di Jin's hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it off.

Wei San Niang stroked Nine Black and said, 'You little cat, are you scared?'

Nine Black didn't utter a sound, but it had been trembling since the big bird appeared, so its earlier cry wasn't out of place.

Shen Qingli had already slapped Di Jin's hand away, 'If you want me dead, just say it! Your temper is getting bigger and bigger, and you don't even see how fortunate it is that the Third Miss would take a liking to you!'

Di Jin's face sank……

Again like this!

Can't even squeeze out a fart after half a day!

Shen Qingli blurted out, "Once Third Miss gives me the treasure, I'll go swap for a new brother."

Wei San Niang turned her gaze, "Swap? You aren't real siblings."

Shen Qingli immediately replied, "Of course they're blood-related, but this brother is too disobedient—just now he even tried to sneak‑attack me, almost knocking me off. Since you want one, I can just swap him for a new one."

Wei San Niang smiled, "You misunderstood—I think he was worried you'd fall."

Shen Qingli gave a hehe expression, then leaned in to whisper to Wei San Niang, "You don't know—if I hadn't reacted fast, he would've definitely thrown me down."

Previously he pretended to be sincere and tried to pull me in, but I wasn't fooled. You think—after I sold him, could he not resent me? It's just that because I swore an oath to my parents, I can't do anything about it.

Wei San Niang looked at her with a merchant's face, utterly unprepared and foolish, and the wariness she had just raised dissipated.

However, she carefully examined Shen Qingli's face and said, "You're not bad‑looking."

Shen Qingli's heart jolted—no way! Does she swing both ways?

"Meow~" Jiu Li called again, shielding Shen Qingli.

It stretched out its paws, pointing to a not‑far‑away twisted, sturdy big tree that bore fruit.

"You little cat, your eyes are good." Wei San Niang stopped staring at Shen Qingli and said, "Xiao Shi Si, go pick a few fruits."

As the words fell, Shen Qingli saw the male favorite who had been vying for favor already leap into the air; she quietly activated her pupil technique and observed covertly.

Under the pupil technique, she discovered that the male favorite's dantian was strange—a tiny seated figure resembling him, eyes closed.

By analyzing the power he gathered when circulating his qi, this realm is actually roughly equivalent to the Profound Saint of Sheng Long Tian—not strong at all.

Shen Qingli furrowed her brows.

She then covertly observed another male favorite.

Upon looking, she was surprised—no dantian?

Similar to her, yet the feeling was quite different.

Could this be a God‑Conferring Realm expert?

In the divine realm, God‑Conferring level experts can already transmute their dantian into a divine body, achieving the state where divine form and spirit unite as one, secretly harmonizing with the Heavenly Dao, thus fully comprehending the laws of heaven and earth.

For ordinary cultivators, reaching this step is already the pinnacle.

The True God Realm cannot be attained by human effort.

All existing True God‑level or higher experts are primordial gods, not cultivated postnatally.

In other words, unless one is born with a divine body, the God‑Conferring Realm is the ultimate.

"Not a God‑Conferring expert," Di Jin transmitted.

Shen Qingli instantly observed Wei San Niang, confirming she hadn't noticed.

She then replied via transmission, "You're being too reckless—do you know why there are people here?"

"Not human."

"Huh?"

Shen Qingli frowned.

"God Descendants."

Di Jin explained leisurely.

"Those who committed crimes and were banished to the Dead Realm as divine descendants."

"Their cultivation system differs from our current Dao Court; they practice only ancient arts and laws."

"Nascent Soul equals Profound Saint, God Transformation equals Profound God—that is, Immortal disciples. The other male is at this level."

"The female is at the Lower Immortal realm, which they call the Void‑Transformation Realm. Though this place suppresses us, it no longer suppresses its native inhabitants."

After a few sentences, Shen Qingli finally felt less confused and gained some confidence: "I guess this suppression isn't just about realm; it's also because we recover slowly while they recover quickly."

"Yes, but you can absorb only dark power," Di Jin reminded.

Shen Qingli knew in her heart; she had just discovered that this place lacks spiritual energy, immortal aura, and divine power—but it does have dark power.

"Can you fight?" Shen Qingli transmitted again.

Di Jin fell silent—obviously he cannot fight…

Actually, he could, but he would "fall apart".

Originally he couldn't be forcibly awakened; he needs to enter seclusion to fuse the Three Pure Ones.

But due to an emergency, he had to wake up first; as for fighting, that would be difficult for him.

"Understood."

"Then do you know how to go back?"

"Not sure, but when I entered the Great Formless Realm, it wasn't like this."

Di Jin has never been here either, but Zhao Yue said this place is the Great Formless Dead Realm; if we extrapolate that, I roughly know where I entered.

"Once we find it, can we get out?"

"It can only be opened from the outside, but there should be a way."

Di Jin recalled the past, estimating the possibility of going out.

"All right, then let's go! Leave now?"

Shen Qingli couldn't possibly really have betrayed Di Jin; it was just a stalling tactic.

However, it's unknown whether it's because they were too "quiet".

Wei San Niang suddenly looked over, seeing Shen Qingli looking around, Di Jin meditating to heal his injuries, and she slightly narrowed her eyes.

"You guys wouldn't be thinking of running, would you?" Wei San Niang suddenly said.

Shen Qingli looked astonished, "How could that be? With our puny bodies, jump down from here?"

Wei San Niang scrutinized her, then glanced at Di Jin beside her, "It's better if there isn't, don't worry about reminding you—the pill I just gave you contains my Wei clan's Harmony Desire; within twelve hours, if you don't unite with me, Wei San Niang, you will surely burst and die."

Shen Qingli's eyelids twitched! Fortunately, she had swapped the pill.

This Wei San Niang is truly vicious! She not only takes a liking to something and snatches it without a word, but also slips drugs.

And Di Jin, this drama queen…

He had already looked at Wei San Niang in disbelief, then lowered his gaze, his expression growing colder.

"Oh, you're angry?" Wei San Niang held the fruit-chewing Jiu Li and came up to Di Jin, "Don't be ungrateful; as long as you unite with me, your cultivation will make great progress—if you don't believe me, ask those two."

"Not bad!" Shi Si's face was full of envy! If that pill were given to him, after tonight he could enter the Void Refinement realm.

"Madam, we've arrived," another male favorite reported.

Shen Qingli had already seen a building complex appear not far away.

What startled her was—

The restrictions surrounding this building complex were extremely strong!

If one were taken inside, getting out again would not be so easy.

But before she could act, Wei San Niang suddenly shouted, "Elder, seize this woman!"

Almost at the same moment, Shen Qingli sensed killing intent coming from above! Fortunately, she had already made a plan to escape a step earlier.

Thus, when the opponent struck, it was exactly the moment she jumped off the great bird—also the moment Di Jin and Jiu Li jumped as well.

"Surely you want to run!" Wei San Niang flew into a rage, "Third Elder, kill this woman, peel off her face and give it to me at once! That beauty, cripple his cultivation!"

Two orders, extremely vicious.

The Third Elder who had suddenly appeared clung like a shadow, lunging to strike down Shen Qingli.

Just as they were about to seize the downward-falling Shen Qingli—

"Cry!"

The cry of a bird rang out!

The abyssal maw manifested by Shen Que directly swallowed the Third Elder.

The next moment—
