Qi Yu: "...Okay, I'll go and bring Senior Fei Qingmu in right away."
She left the space within the book, then the space within the hairpin, and returned to the top floor of the Sutra Repository. Seeing the three people still standing there unharmed, she felt relieved.
Fei Qingmu's strength is unfathomable, and with Yun Gui added to the mix, Feng Xiao, in his current state of mental instability, might not necessarily be able to defeat him.
However, since we are all civilized people, there is no need for us to fight.
Qi Yu smiled and said to Fei Qingmu, "Grandmaster, Xiu Zhu said he wants me to take you inside."
Yun Gui asked anxiously, "What about me?"
Qi Yu's smile remained unchanged, and she replied exactly as before: "Go to hell."
Yun Gui: "..."
He hung his head dejectedly, muttering, "I really deserve to die..."
Yun Gui looked like an eight or nine-year-old child at this moment, not even as tall as her waist. She looked so dejected that it was really a bit pitiful.
But that's their business, it's not her place to interfere; she's just a mouthpiece.
Qi Yu pursed her lips and stepped forward to Fei Qingmu, saying, "Grandmaster, my apologies."
After saying that, she grabbed Fei Qingmu's shoulder, took out the "Chaotic Spirit Body" book, and tapped it gently.
The two disappeared on the top floor of the Sutra Pavilion, leaving only Feng Xiao glancing sideways at Yun Gui, who looked like he had lost half his life.
In space.
Fei Qingmu leaned on his rattan cane, surveyed the pale space, and then slowly shifted his gaze to the pile of storybooks and the gray ball of dust buried in them.
“...tall bamboo.”
Qi Yu coughed lightly and said, "Master, I've brought Grandmaster to you."
Fei Qingmu glanced at Qi Yu with some surprise. She had one master here and another outside—just how many good masters did she have?!
Qi Yu looked at the sky and the ground but not at Fei Qingmu. She casually picked up a storybook from the ground and began to read it with great concentration, saying as she read, "You guys chat, I'm not listening."
The two: "..."
Zhu Xiuzi sighed and finally spoke, "Grandmaster, I must thank you for saving me."
Fei Qingmu also said with a sigh, "It all depends on your fate. If you have no desire to live anymore, no matter how hard you try, there is nothing you can do. Fortunately, a turning point has come."
Zhu Xiuzi looked at Qi Yu beside her.
The Chaotic Spirit Body is an extremely rare and powerful cultivation technique, but because he did not talk about it much to others, the world did not know how precious it was.
Furthermore, he did not state in the book that only those with a Chaotic Spirit Body could cultivate this technique. Even if someone was tempted by the power of the Chaotic Spirit Body described in the book, without the right conditions, no matter how hard they tried, it would be in vain.
With the guidance of a master, Fei Qingmu left the altered version of "Chaotic Spirit Body" at Feixing Sect, while the original version, written by Zhu Xiuzi himself, circulated among the common people and eventually ended up in Wucheng Spirit Academy.
When Qi Yu entered the Scripture Pavilion of the Spirit Academy, Zhu Xiuzi was awakened by Qi Yu, who also had a Chaotic Spirit Root, and was chosen as her successor.
As expected, Qi Yu left the Spirit Academy and headed to the Flying Star Sect to uncover this long-buried past and reveal the hidden truth.
Through this interconnected series of events, Zhu Xiuzi and Fei Qingmu were able to meet face to face once again.
It's like being manipulated by an invisible hand.
Is it fate?
Or is it the plot?
Qi Yu looked down at the storybook, but not a single word of its contents entered her eyes.
Chaotic Spiritual Body, Chaotic Spiritual Root...
Yes.
The page containing the meteor information flashed before Qi Yu's eyes.
He is...
A resident of Cloud City in the Vermilion Bird Kingdom.
Yuncheng and Wucheng are adjacent. If he wants to cultivate immortality and avenge his family members who were massacred by the Blood Fiend Sect, what is his best choice?
It is Wucheng Lingyuan.
Cloud City is not large and does not have a Spirit Academy.
What made him choose not to go to the closer and less demanding Wucheng Spiritual Academy?
This is likely related to Qi Yu; Lai Pi, possessed by a mid-level demon, was after her.
Wucheng Spiritual Academy is under attack by demons, so Meteor can no longer go there.
Meanwhile, the Flying Star Sect, thousands of miles away, is about to begin its recruitment ceremony. As long as one passes a test, even those with poor aptitude can join the Flying Star Sect.
What will he choose?
Thinking back to the boy's tired yet determined eyes when they first met Meteor, Qi Yu looked up and sighed softly.
Could it be that the one who took the villain's place was actually this cannon fodder, the vicious female supporting character who should have perished in the icy abyss...?
"System, tell me, is my reasoning correct?" she asked silently.
The system remained silent for a long time, offering no response.
Fei Qingmu and Zhu Xiuzi were still talking in hushed tones beside her, while Qi Yu was in a state of utter confusion.
She thought of the ultimate task the system had given her—to ascend to immortality.
For someone with a chaotic spiritual root, ascending to immortality seems to be easy. The system also asks her to do good deeds every day. What is the purpose of doing this?
If the invisible hand of the plot is allowed to drive things forward, will she be the one torn to pieces by Chu Mo in the end, or even have her soul annihilated?
The system finally spoke: "Host, please believe me, the system will not harm you."
Hasn't the system already tripped her up enough?
In the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, the system's rule against killing alone severely restricted her actions.
The system said it wouldn't harm her...
It certainly had no reason to harm her, so what was the purpose of bringing her into this world?
Do you really want her to act like a saint, spreading love everywhere?
[Host... Your current progress in exploring the plot is too low, so the system cannot directly inform you of this information. If you do not wish to cause unnecessary trouble, you can choose to remain secluded and cultivate until you ascend. However, your points may not be enough to resolve the disaster in your original world. If you wish to accumulate more points, exploring the plot is the best method.]
[The host was chosen by the system; you are the most suitable candidate. Please have faith in yourself.]
Qi Yu took a deep breath and covered her face with the storybook.
Is it up to her to choose?
After a long pause, she said in a low voice, "You'd better be telling the truth."
Upon hearing this, Fei Qingmu looked over in confusion and asked, "Child, what's wrong?"
Qi Yu put the storybook away and laughed, "It's nothing. I was just saying that it's best if the disgusting male protagonist in this storybook is actually true."
System: [...] We know that you are making veiled accusations against us.
Zhu Xiuzi floated over and landed on Qi Yu's shoulder, saying, "You just heard it too. Grandmaster can find a way to help me break the seal in this book, but without a vessel, I will immediately turn to ashes if I go out. So my good disciple, you have to go and find a vessel that can carry my soul."
Fei Qingmu smiled and said, "In this sect competition, Yunyang Sect has brought out a good item, which is just right for cultivating bamboo."
Looking at Fei Qingmu's smiling face, Qi Yu suddenly had a bad feeling. She asked, "What is it?"
"The reward for the champion of the sect competition - the Undying Wood."
"The Immortal Tree? What is that?"
