Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

She was too strong. Standing at the King Tao Realm, she could easily unleash Divine King Level combat power.

In the younger generation, how many could achieve this?

Diwu Qingrou's face was somber, and he said no more. But as his gaze swept over Guang Xiaoyu, a hint of killing intention appeared.

The Saintess spoke up, "I need to report this matter to those above!"

Chen Pingping smiled, "Of course!"

The Saintess hurried away.

Guang Xiaoyu came over and asked curiously, "Senior Brother, what do you need the Heavenly Book for?"

Naturally, it was to peer into the Heavenly Road.

But he didn't explain. The Heavenly Road was evidently no ordinary path. At its far end, asleep, was someone from the Netherworld, and Chen Pingping's true target was Zi Ji.

If he could open the Heavenly Road a bit earlier, there might still be a chance to slay him. But if it were too late and he reawakened, they would probably not be able to defeat him.

Therefore, Chen Pingping decided to make his move ahead of time.

Of course, before that, he had one more thing to take care of—Chong Tower!

The Bai Family had already been annihilated; next in line was Chong Tower...

The wait was a bit long, and the scene once again grew lively as everyone began discussing everything about the Heavenly Road.

Are there really gods?

What secrets does the end of that path hold?

Is there really a Great Opportunity, as the legends suggest?

Is it possible to achieve Tao Verification and become a saint?

Can one meet the Great Emperor?

For the young prodigies, that path seemed to be the prelude to an invincible chapter.

And the key to all this lay within Princess Zi Ji's Yuan World; it was currently the only clue.

Many prodigies were restless, their gazes burning with eagerness, yet no one dared to make a move.

For she had a powerful senior sister and a powerful senior brother standing beside her, their presence like two Mount Tais pressing down upon everyone's hearts.

They didn't dare, and they were afraid.

At the same time, they also realized that Nan Zhanbu Province was not as declined as they had imagined. Perhaps... it was just like Central Continent, rich in Spirit Qi, where Tao flourished, with prodigies emerging one after another—a golden age indeed.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have produced strong individuals like Guang Xiaoyu and Chen Pingping.

"You must not act so recklessly in the future," Chen Pingping stared at Guang Xiaoyu and scolded. "Our little Junior Sister is still young, just at the start of her cultivation. She needs time to grow. What if something happens to you two?"

As expected... I got scolded.

Guang Xiaoyu showed a wronged expression.

Zi Ji stood expressionless at the side. Guang Xiaoyu quickly tugged at her clothes, signaling her...

Only then did Zi Ji react, also showing a wronged expression.

Chen Pingping continued to scold, "Stop that act. I told you to take her back to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Instead, you took her gallivanting everywhere. What, are you itching for a beating?"

"Senior Brother, I was wrong," Guang Xiaoyu said pitifully.

"Wrong about what?"

"I shouldn't have been reckless. I should have taken Little Junior Sister back," she said.

"And?"

"I shouldn't have attacked the Bai Family. It was too dangerous."

"Anything else?"

Eh?

Guang Xiaoyu was stunned, confusion written all over her face. What else could there be?

Chen Pingping glared at her, saying irritably, "Don't think I'm oblivious. You've taken our Little Junior Sister around, swindling and looting all sorts of things. What, have I wronged you? Don't I usually give you cultivation resources?"

Then why don't you give them! She hung her head, pinching the corner of her clothes, thinking, You never gave any before either! So wronged!

But she dared not contradict him. She knew her Senior Brother all too well. With her speaking skills, she definitely couldn't win an argument against her Senior Brother, let alone defeat him in a fight.

"And you..." Chen Pingping turned to Zi Ji, beginning to chastise her.

Others also noticed this scene, showing expressions of surprise.

Guang Xiaoyu, who had wreaked havoc in the Bai Family, was now being reprimanded by Chen Pingping so severely that she didn't dare make a peep.

This? If we had such a junior sister, we would cherish her in the palm of our hands, attend to her every need, feed her well, clothe her well, and not allow her to suffer the slightest grievance.

But look at you, scolding her in front of everyone. You simply don't know how to appreciate her.

Many young prodigies watched with twitching corners of their mouths, thinking, If you don't want her, give her to me!

"You do whatever your Senior Sister asks? Can't you have some backbone? You're not a child anymore; you're eleven years old now, right?" Chen Pingping scolded.

There was another layer of meaning in his words.

You're the princess of the Netherworld, a powerful being who walked out of Reincarnation alive! How can you just follow Guang Xiaoyu around and act so recklessly? The internal strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty has just begun, with five princes eyeing their chance like tigers. Even if you do nothing, your very existence is problematic. Chong Tower is also watching from the shadows, and many prodigies are coveting the Yuan World you possess. If something really happens, who can save you?

He looked utterly exasperated. You're the disciple personally chosen by Master! If Master returns and doesn't find you, won't he kill me?

Zi Ji, too, imitated Guang Xiaoyu, with downcast eyes and a face full of grievance.

SIGH.

Chen Pingping sighed repeatedly, saying helplessly, "Survival is the greatest form of cultivation!"

Zi Ji seemed to remember something; she couldn't help but retort, "I just want to become stronger faster."

"Your thinking isn't wrong, but you've overlooked something..." Chen Pingping stared closely at her. "Not all cultivation can be rushed just because you wish it so..."

Everyone was baffled.

"You yourself are a Great Opportunity. You are more outstanding than any prodigy. So this 'quickly' you speak of is merely impatience."

The onlookers were disgruntled.

Undeniably, in some respects, they couldn't compare to Princess Zi Ji.

But do you have to say it so bluntly? And Princess Zi Ji is a Great Opportunity? How can this be? Isn't he just talking nonsense? Who has ever been an opportunity in themselves?

Speaking of excellence, many prodigies were even more critical inwardly. No matter how excellent she was, she was just a little girl barely over ten years old. There's no comparison.

"Yes, Zi Ji knows her mistake," Zi Ji said in a low voice.

"Wrong where?"

"I should protect myself properly."

"And?"

"Strive hard in my cultivation."

Chen Pingping let out another sigh, saying, "You're not the same as others. The path you must walk and the powerful enemies you will face are far more terrifying than those a common cultivator encounters—dozens of times, even hundreds of times more so. Diligent cultivation is undeniably important, but you also need to find your own direction and path. Only then will your efforts be meaningful."

Direction, path.

She seemed to understand but didn't quite grasp it.

"How much did you two loot? Show me," Chen Pingping frowned.

No, no, no!

Guang Xiaoyu became anxious, frantically signaling to her.

But Zi Ji was truly straightforward, laying out all the items she had plundered during this period...

Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, Spirit Pills, some weapons, and many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as cultivation methods.

Not far away, the prodigies who had been plundered by the two girls all had dark expressions, seething with anger but not daring to speak.

A young man mustered courage, stepped forward, and said, "Chen, that weapon is mine. Can I have it back?"

"Which one?" Chen Pingping asked.

"The green bell."

Oh?

Chen Pingping raised an eyebrow, retrieved it with his power, then tossed it over. "It's a decent weapon. Cultivate well!"

The young man showed joy, "Thank you, Chen!"

Seeing this, the other looted prodigies grew restless...

Chen Pingping continued, "Show some ambition in the future. Don't bother keeping such trashy weapons in your pocket anymore. And these low-grade Spirit Pills and Spirit Stones... Sigh... Little Junior Sister, was your Senior Sister tricking you?"

The young man who had just stepped out stumbled...
