Chapter 2200 - 2202: Yi Jue’s Contingency
After a dizzying spin in the void, both parties have lost track of each other.
Yi Jue and Qing Ji stood on Feng Jun’s left and right respectively. After exchanging a glance, it was Yi Jue who spoke up, "Why are you here?"
"He wants to save you and says he can leave the void," True Immortal Qing Ji raised a hand, pointing at Feng Jun, "Since that’s the case, of course I have to come see, there are many good things in the void... and in case we run into that old thief Tiegu, you and I can join forces to kill him!"
Yi Jue was a bit resentful that she didn’t activate the Spiritual Qi Shield earlier. If Feng Jun hadn’t arrived in time, and she entered the void alone, surviving wouldn’t be too difficult, but leaving might mean waiting thousands of years.
So she spoke coldly, "I have an agreement with Mountain Master Feng, and you almost disrupted our plan."
True Immortal Qing Ji smiled indifferently. She knew very well that Yi Jue’s resistance was understandable since she was practically forcing her way to riches. But she also had her reasons.
She raised a hand, pointing at Feng Jun, "Mountain Master Feng is a distinguished guest of my Golden Crow. I have an obligation to protect him. Did you not notice earlier, due to his concern for you, he left the Nascent Soul Defense Formation. I followed him to uphold the Spiritual Qi Shield, always protecting him."
Upon hearing this, Yi Jue had nothing more to say, "Since we can’t find that old thief Tiegu, let’s find a big stone first."
At this moment, the white worm on Yi Jue’s shoulder sent out a thought, "I seem to be able to sense him."
True Immortal Qing Ji frowned slightly looking at it. Those who’ve seen it hunt the Transpatial Vine and Dragon Scale Tree deeply understand the ferocity of such a creature. Even at her Nascent Soul Peak status, she felt a twinge of fear, "Is this... a void creature?"
"How is that possible," Yi Jue laughed, "void creatures can’t survive in Tianqin, yet that Transpatial Vine... indeed feels a bit like a void thing. Does Elder Qing Ji know its origins?"
"I’m not clear about that," Elder Qing Ji shook her head, "It seems that Elder Yu Teng of your sect knows a bit."
Upon hearing the words "Elder Yu Teng", True Immortal Yi Jue suddenly remembered that she was solely focused on picking up treasures and forgot that there were fellow disciples anxiously waiting outside. So she looked at Feng Jun, "Shall we go out first?"
"Let’s kill Tiegu first," Feng Jun was in no hurry to leave, "Once we’re outside and Tiegu is already executed, whatever else they might say has nothing to do with us. If he’s not killed, there will still be variables."
Yi Jue and Qing Ji both didn’t reject the idea of killing Tiegu, but Yi Jue had a concern, "If that Transpatial Vine can manifest its full strength in the void, killing Tiegu may not be that easy."
The two of them weren’t sure about the origins of the Transpatial Vine, but Feng Jun knew a little, "This creature has the bloodline of Jian Mu, as for whether Jian Mu can survive in the void..."
"So it’s that!" Yi Jue immediately understood. She nodded slightly, "Jian Mu is powerful and unaffected in the void, but it’s ultimately not a void creature. So... let’s restore some spiritual energy first, and then kill that scoundrel!"
"Restore spiritual energy... here?" Elder Qing Ji asked in surprise, looking around, thinking she might have misheard, "Isn’t it best to choose a piece of rock?"
"Mountain Master Feng, take us to the stone first," Yi Jue said seriously, "I need to replenish my spiritual energy."
She had battled fiercely with Elder Tiegu for several days, especially in the final stages where the battle was extremely intense. Her spiritual energy was only at sixty percent. In the real world, she could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but here she could only restore it through Spirit Stones.
Elder Qing Ji nodded, "That makes sense. I’ve been maintaining the Spiritual Qi Shield, and it consumed twenty percent of my spiritual energy as well."
The Spiritual Qi Shield actually doesn’t consume that much spiritual energy, even if Feng Jun was also shielded inside. Her spiritual energy was primarily consumed by resisting those attacks—the sweeping vines and the suction of the void.
Yi Jue looked at her and spoke seriously, "But before we go, I want to make something clear. Elder Qing Ji, you’ve done us a great service in protecting him, and you deserve this opportunity. However, unless Feng Jun permits, you must not disclose such information to others... Do you agree to this promise?"
"That’s only right," Elder Qing Ji nodded without hesitation, then a slight smile appeared on her lips, "Isn’t Feng Daoist’s permission all that’s needed, without needing True Immortal Yi Jue’s consent?"
Yi Jue waved her hand, expressing freely, "This was originally something Mountain Master Feng showed me. Just being here is already a great fortune for me. How could I act as if I were the host?"
She paused for a moment and added, "But even if you gain an opportunity, don’t become too obsessed with it, for he has many matters at hand."
Elder Qing Ji listened with a smile, "True Immortal Yi Jue presents herself more like... something."
The middle words were spoken indistinctly, but everyone could guess the meaning.
However, the two of them did not react, seemingly as if they hadn’t heard at all.
Then, Elder Qing Ji experienced the sensation of teleportation in the void. Suddenly, a big stone appeared before her, and the lighting shifted slightly. After steadying herself, she couldn’t help but speak, "This Teleportation Divine Ability of yours is indeed extraordinary!"
What surprised her was that the two of them didn’t respond to her. They simply exchanged a glance, and True Immortal Yi Jue spoke up, "It seems the void truly drifts, no wonder it’s hard to leave a spatial anchor point."
Feng Jun also nodded seriously, "It feels a bit like a time-space dislocation, but maybe it’s just the stone drifting."
Elder Qing Ji heard their discussion and vaguely guessed some meaning, with her mind in chaos again—have they truly advanced their research on the Void to such an extent?
The three, along with the worm, teleported to the Big Stone, and Yi Jue adeptly found the large pit, then waved her hand with a smile, "Leave it to me!"
She untied a Spirit Beast Bag from her waist, placed it into the pit, and the next moment, a female cultivator appeared inside, possessing a High-Rank cultivation level. She glanced around and retrieved a Defense Array Disk, handing it to True Immortal Yi Jue.
This woman was named Shou Xin, originally a Spirit Plant apprentice in the Spirit Fields. After Yi Jue returned from the Void, she searched all around the Dao grounds, filtering through hundreds of thousands of candidates, to finally find this one cultivator with spatial attributes.
Among the hundreds of thousands, there were over ten individuals with spatial attributes. However, some lacked sufficient cultivation levels, some were taken, and others had backgrounds that were too complex, making them unsuitable for recruitment. After numerous selections, Yi Jue chose her.
She did not conceal her intentions, saying that she had some tasks to handle lately, which required Shou Xin’s physique. Additionally, the task carried certain risks but offered substantial rewards, and asked if she was willing to consider it.
Shou Xin immediately agreed, as she was well aware of her own physique. Her ability to become a Spirit Plant apprentice and take care of the Spirit Fields was largely due to the advantage of her spatial physique.
At the same time, having spatial attributes also tends to cause trouble.
During the era when ancient evil practitioners were rampant, many spatial attribute female cultivators were killed to extract Dao Rhymes. Whether it was successful or not is hard to tell, but during that time, those with spatial physique practically didn’t dare to step outside.
Shou Xin had also encountered some entanglements, though not the Dao Rhyme extraction kind. Rather, it was attempts by real or True Immortals who sought to get close to her—Big Bosses have claimed that such physiques are beneficial for pregnancy, capable of bearing even the offspring of True Immortals.
Logically, she should be pleased to attract the attention of True Immortals, yet pregnancy among Immortals affects vitality, not to mention she’s merely at the initial stage?
She could endure a True Immortal’s offspring, but giving birth to one would likely mean her hopes for a Golden Core in this lifetime are dashed.
Thus, she expressed that she wasn’t afraid of danger, nor did she want rewards, saying she merely wished to learn under Yi Jue’s tutelage.
Yi Jue thought for a while and agreed, saying if you could form a Golden Core within thirty years, she would make you a registered disciple.
Upon witnessing this, Feng Jun found it absurdly amusing, "Even disciples with spatial physique are personally recruited?"
Yi Jue shook her head and casually remarked, "That’s quite normal, isn’t it? Even your chosen female cultivators require cultivation."
Hearing this, Feng Jun chuckled, "There’s no need to be so tactful, just say you’re unsatisfied with the low cultivation level of my recruits."
True Immortal Yi Jue remained silent, essentially acquiescing.
Feng Jun also released Liu Yiyi, as having two cultivators to manage the formation was certainly more convenient than one.
Elder Qing Ji was left stunned, taking quite a while to react, "Is this... bringing a cultivator with spatial physique? What an eye-opener, didn’t expect such manipulation in the Void."
Actually, replicating this maneuver is practically impossible; being drawn into the Void is incredibly unlikely, and it’s not feasible to always carry a Spirit Beast Bag with a spatial attribute cultivator inside due to this mere possibility.
Would such a female cultivator still need to cultivate then?
It was merely by extraordinary coincidence that Feng Jun happened to have Liu Yiyi with him, which allowed for such a measure.
Thus, this sort of phenomenon might have occurred before, but it surely didn’t circulate widely, though the principle seems straightforward enough to Elder Qing Ji, like piercing a veil.
Feng Jun glanced at her slightly and nodded, "Knowing this method is sufficient; otherwise, many female cultivators could suffer... Alright, you can restore your Spiritual Energy now." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Everyone continued their work while chatting. When both True Immortal Elders began using the Spirit Restoration Array to replenish Spiritual Energy, Feng Jun quietly contacted the Big Boss, "Does this Jade Spore Skyworm... have Void bloodline?"
He was somewhat puzzled, typically creatures and plants avoid the Void, yet today was different. Besides the Transpatial Vine, the Jade Spore Skyworm seemed quite fond of the Void, and even after entering it, it was still able to sense Elder Tiegu’s presence.
"Hmph," the Big Boss sneered, truly deserving its senior status, it knew quite a lot, "Nothing more than a failed creation. Someone tried to cultivate Spirit Plants on Void creatures, resulting in this unusual hybrid..."
"These worm eggs can survive in the Void, the Skyworms in reality, the eggs are all brought out from the Void."
