Crossing her arms around the chest, Bai Yan makes an unreadable smile as she spoke: âSo let me get this straight. If one gets all three keys then they would be able to ascend into the Celestial Rank and become a god, are you sure?â
âThatâs right, the three keys would activate the miracle hidden underneath. Also, I heard the three powers were originally founded by a god from thousands of years ago to begin with and that the miracle was also created by that person. Bai Yan, I know your strength is very high, but one individual cannot contend with an entire realm.â
Bai Yan continues to stay quiet, only listening to what the other side had to say. Sheâs rather intrigued at this point and wanted more information.
âNow in order to train my brother, my father will definitely not let this opportunity go. Right now heâs still occupied with other matters due to the passage being cleared to the outside world. Once heâs done with that though, Iâm certain he will come in person. Do you think the three powers here will still be able to survive in front of an unprecedented force?â
âAnd?â Bai Yan smirks at the persuasion.
âHow about we work together? When I get my hands on the miracle, Iâll also give you some great benefit in return.â
Now this time Bai Yan could no longer hold back her amused laughter. Its genuine without a hint of fakeness. âAnd what makes you think I would need to work with you?â She slowly encroaches in on the other side, her face no longer smiling: âHe can go ahead and come, just know that once heâs here, he wonât be leaving again.â
âYou wouldnât be thinking that the demon king is invincible, do you? He may be unbeatable here and in the Demon Realm, but compared to the Spirit Realmâs fighting force, heâs still weaker. Like I said, cooperating with me is your best choice.â
Now that was a bad mistake, this woman shouldnât have turned to talking about Bai Yanâs husband. Without so much as a word, she throws out a torrent of wind from her sleeve and knocks the other side right out of the sky. The resulting impact was a loud bang and a heavily coughing out of Liu Qing Yu who looked outraged by the sudden attack.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYouâ¦â
âYouâre really only here for the miracle?â she asks again after descending as well. However, unlike the former who came crashing down, Bai Yanâs demeanor was like that of someone walking casually down the stairs. Its difficult to imagine the level of control one must have to pull off such a feat in midair.
âYou should know that ascending into godhood and achieving the Celestial Rank is extremely difficult in our current era. The mere fact that thereâs a rumor floating about capable of helping me achieve that goal is enough to push me to come in person.â
âIs it now? From what I remember, those masters part of He Chu Chuâs group were all around that level in the Celestial Rank, how do you explain that bit?â
Blinking her eyes somewhat at being called out, Liu Qing Yu hangs her head in contemplation before answering with the truth. âThose are the Spirit Realmâs elder force. Theyâre all created using my fatherâs secret ritual. Of course, the price would be⦠they wouldnât be able to live past a hundred years at mostâ¦â
The life span of a practitioner was always a long one if nothing unexpected occurs. Even for someone like Bai Yan who has reached the level of the Saint Rank, theyâre expected to live somewhere between six to seven hundred years. Now imagine someone whoâs at the Celestial Rank, theyâre easily able to live as long as a thousand years! For that length to be reduced to a sliver of a tenth, thatâs a price not many would pay.
âI have said all that I can. You not cooperating with me is fine but can you let me go?â Liu Qing Yu asks this with a palm full of sweat, thatâs how nervous she was at the moment.
Bai Yan immediately snickered at the bold request: âLet you go? You killed so many from the three powers here and you want me to let you go? Assuming I agree though, do you think those who sacrificed themselves would?!â
The woman in white grew increasingly more agitated in her tune: âSo what do you want to do, kill me? That wonât bring you any benefit. Whatâs more, those people werenât killed by me either, theyâre killed by the member of the Wu family. My orders were only for them to drive the members of the three powers out and thatâs it.â
