NOVEL WEB Chapter 100 The Woman Has Come
How could the Divine Body merely survive?
How could the Divine Body be so subservient?
The Divine Body ought to emerge into the world, vanquish all champions, defeat all the young geniuses, and become the one and only in the world.
That is the path she should take.
In stark contrast to Chen Shixian, on the Wuji Sect's side, once Baili Jiansan had finished his tale, Guang Xiaoyu immediately jumped up, her face alight with excitement, and exclaimed, "I'll go!"
Baili Jiansan was taken aback.
"I want to go to the Central Continent! I want to defeat all the young geniuses! I want to see that god! HMPH!" she declared, proudly lifting her head.
In reality, she did not believe in a sleeping god at the end of the Heavenly Road; it was far too ludicrous. Even the Demon Emperor, having lived for over one hundred thousand years, had never witnessed something so absurd. However... the contest among the younger generation? That, she found quite interesting.
She was ready to show off her skills and dominate everyone.
Standing beside her, Chen Pingping was about to stop her, but it was already too late. The girl was chattering endlessly and even patted her chest, boasting that she would defeat everyone, even the Tianxuan Saintess.
"I am the strongest young genius in the Southern Zhan Continent," she declared. "The Saintess will surely challenge me. HMPH... she's done for."
Baili Jiansan looked at her, and after a long pause, he said, "Martial Niece Xiaoyu, this matter requires careful consideration."
He had only mentioned it casually, with no real intention of letting the two travel to the Central Continent. After all, those few prominent figures in the Southern Zhan Continent were far stronger than her: Zi Yan of the Saint Tao Family, Li Pu of the Dayu Dynasty, Bai Yunfei of Youming Valley, and the Divine Body, Chen Shixian. Unless the Tianxuan Saintess was blind, she wouldn't challenge you. She wouldn't bother with Guang Xiaoyu, even if Guang Xiaoyu shamelessly challenged her.
"No need for careful consideration!" Guang Xiaoyu declared. "My Senior Brother and I will go to the Central Continent, and that will be enough to sweep them all aside."
Chen Pingping: "..."
"There's no need to go!" Baili Jiansan said helplessly. "If you insist on going, you can only observe from a distance."
HEH!
She found this Sect Leader quite timid, just like her Senior Brother. She now wondered if her Senior Brother was his illegitimate son.
Guang Xiaoyu's eyes darted around as she said, "Then we'll just observe from afar."
"Go on ahead. I have something to discuss with your Senior Brother," Baili Jiansan said, dismissing Guang Xiaoyu. He then added, "Your Master sent a letter, specifically addressed to you."
At this, Chen Pingping grew excited. "Where is the letter?"
Baili Jiansan produced the letter.
He quickly opened it. The contents read: "For Chen Pingping to read: I am so outrageously powerful it's almost offensive. As my eldest disciple, you could very well just coast through life, eating and waiting for death. However... there are still some things you need to do."
"Ten years ago, long before I met you, I was wandering the lands of the Central Continent. By chance, I encountered a woman. We got along splendidly, so I proposed to take the daughter she was then carrying in her womb as my disciple. However, I'm currently too busy to handle this. So, my good disciple, you are to go to the Central Continent and take her in for me."
A woman? The daughter in her womb? Take her in?
This was undoubtedly Wen Yuqing's style of speaking, but...
Chen Pingping's expression darkened. Take someone as a disciple before they're even born?
It was utterly preposterous.
Another line followed: "Her name is Zi Ji. She should be ten years old now and is a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Chen Pingping stiffened. "Martial Uncle, could there be a mistake?"
Baili Jiansan rolled his eyes and said languidly, "The letter descended from the Void, accompanied by a message from your Master."
"What did she say?" Chen Pingping pressed.
"She said that if you lose Zi Ji, she'll come back and kill you."
"..."
That's right, this was her style. It was indeed Wen Yuqing...
Chen Pingping was on the verge of tears. "I don't want to go to the Central Continent!"
Now that the trials in the Wasteland were over, young geniuses from all continents were starting to make their mark. Entering the Central Continent at this time—wouldn't that just invite a mountain of trouble?
"You don't have to go if you don't want to," Baili Jiansan nodded, showing no intention of forcing him. "After all, your Master said she'll come back and kill you. By then, you'll be either dead or crippled, and then you'll be thrown out of the Wuji Sect. Hmm, that seems to be exactly what the Three Peaks desire!"
Ever since their return from the Wasteland, the three Peak Masters never mentioned merging the peaks again. Leaving aside Chen Pingping, who was content to idle his life away, Guang Xiaoyu had now advanced to the late stage of the Supreme Mystery Realm and was on the verge of breaking through to the King Tao Realm.
She was a young powerhouse.
The entire Sect, from top to bottom, treasured her.
In contrast, Nangong Jue, who had also returned from the Wasteland, had reached the Supreme Mystery Realm as well, but his treatment was nowhere near as good as Guang Xiaoyu's!
He himself didn't dare to complain, seemingly afraid of something.
Zhuge Wushuang and Mo Wuwei had been left far behind by her...
「Qingfeng!」
On the grassy lawn, the familiar daily scene unfolded once more: Lao Huang the ox lowed softly, Hei the dog leaped about energetically, and the Earth Chicken rested quietly to one side.
A new addition had joined them: a small, furry Mao Qiu. Its soybean-sized eyes darted about adorably. It quickly integrated into the group, becoming their youngest treasure.
Seeing this, the Eight Treasures Chicken broke out in a cold sweat. Big Brother, that's a Devouring Sky Beast!

He glanced at the panel. Not bad...
At the very least, he didn't need to worry about Lao Huang's and Hei's growth; time alone would suffice.
Enhancing the Ancient Phoenix's bloodline was a major issue, though. He needed to find more resources, like another Ancient Bloodstone, for instance.
But this wasn't the Wasteland.
The only thing that truly gave him a headache was the Devouring Sky Beast, with only +5% growth.
How many years have you even been alive? You mean to tell me you only started eating when you got to me?
Just imagining the Devouring Sky Beast feasting made his expression darken.
Only 5% growth... If this continued into its mid or late stages, wouldn't it need to consume the entire Heaven Martial Continent to be satisfied?
SIGH!
Chen Pingping felt utterly exasperated.
He didn't know how much time had passed before the sound of footsteps startled him awake. Opening his eyes, he saw a young disciple.
The Wuji Sect had recruited two batches of new disciples in the six or seven years since they had entered the Wasteland. The one before him now had just joined this year. The disciple, who had a youthful face and clear eyes, hesitated upon seeing Chen Pingping before saying, "Senior... Senior Brother, there's someone outside looking for you."
OH?
Chen Pingping raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
"A woman!" the young man replied.
Chen Pingping extended his Divine Sense. Upon seeing who the visitor was, his expression turned grim. "Throw her out!"
The young man was taken aback. "Are you sure?" He had never seen such a beautiful woman before. He'd assumed she was his Senior Brother's Tao Companion, but apparently... not? His Senior Brother actually wanted him to throw such a woman out? This...
He hesitated for a moment, then turned to leave and convey Chen Pingping's message. However, Chen Shixian walked right past him, and the young man couldn't stop her.
He was almost in tears. "You can't go in!"
