She began cultivating at the age of three, reached the peak of the Transformation of All Beings at ten, comprehended the Killing Array at twelve, and reached the peak of the Killing Array at seventeen. She then broke through a small realm every four years, and is now a powerful figure among the upper-level Imperial Path cultivators. She believed Fang Zong wouldn't be willing to part with a servant like her; as for Fang Zong's claim of reaching the peak of the Killing Array in less than three years, that was utter nonsense.
It was nothing more than a desire to elevate his own status and win over a woman as exceptionally beautiful as her.
Fang Zong's goal was exactly this, so how could he bear to let her die?
Fang Zong saw all of Xiu Hua's pride. He didn't say anything, just smiled and put Xiu Hua down.
With her injuries stabilized, Xiuhua was able to muster a little strength. She greedily looked down at the riverbed; she needed the Styx jellyfish, otherwise she would die from her unhealed wounds. Now, her hope for life, and even greater hope, lay beneath her feet.
"My lord, how old are you this year?" Xiuhua asked with a smile as she took out a jet-black whisk.
Fang Zong raised an eyebrow. "Why are you asking that?"
"I started cultivating at the age of three, and I believe the Lord wouldn't have started too late either. So, the Lord said that you've reached your current level of cultivation in less than three years. Heh, don't blame me for laughing at you. Even if you've reached the peak of the Killing Array, with your current profound foundation, you won't break through to the Imperial Dao in less than ten years. The deeper your foundation, the harder it is to break through. You've delayed killing me for so long, isn't it because you want me to acknowledge you as my master and become your protector?"
Fang Zong ""
Why would I kill a dying person who didn't attack me?
Fang Zong was too lazy to explain the misunderstanding. He watched as Xiu Hua took action. Xiu Hua shook the floating dust, and a stream of purple liquid seeped out. When it touched the riverbed, the entire riverbed suddenly trembled violently.
"This is a dust made from purple and water. Because it has gathered too much purple and water, it looks pitch black. Purple and water are also treasures of the Yin and filth category in the water system, which can cause the Styx Jellyfish to autonomously devour and retaliate."
The woman, blushing with pride, explained herself to the other party.
Clearly, the purple water wasn't an ordinary treasure. While it couldn't compare to the Styx jellyfish, it was still considered a valuable spirit stone. Fang Zong didn't listen at all, because as the riverbed trembled, a surge of fiery energy erupted and rushed towards him.
He could breathe at the bottom of the river. The fiery aura, with its eerie green hue, rushed towards him like smoke, attracting and refining him with his Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire. It quickly transformed into energy within his body, becoming the final straw that broke the camel's back.
The thousand-foot-long Star-Picking Killing Array spread out, covering the entire riverbed.
The killing formation condensed into a spiritual seed, which gathered between Fang Zong's eyebrows, then fell down and entered Fang Zong's mouth.
Spirit Seed Controlling the Dao, Lower Grade Controlling the Dao, Success
"I never expected that the fire energy emitted by a mere five-star Dao Seed would be so pure, actually helping me break through to the lower level of the Imperial Dao."
Fang Zong couldn't help but laugh, looking at the cracks at the bottom of the river, his anticipation for the five-star Dao Seed with the fire attribute grew even stronger.
A five-star Dao Seed can upgrade Earth, but if he can also absorb it and increase his strength, he can also find more treasures to upgrade Earth. This is a virtuous cycle, and he doesn't mind using the Dao Seed first.
So he urged Xiuhua, but Xiuhua was already dumbfounded.
