The Sealed Beasts of the Divine Realm 1
system:"......"
"System, say something! I know you're here," Biluoji muttered.
The system opened its mouth and then closed it, pretending it didn't exist.
Biluo felt a pang of sadness, pouted, and sobbed softly, tears falling like tiny pearls.
Exhausted, Xie Guijin turned over to sleep amidst her sobs.
As the night passed, dawn broke.
Xie Guijin then woke up.
After leisurely eating breakfast, she strolled through the Demon Palace Garden, feeling that the flowers there were more vibrant than those she had seen in the modern world or the human realm.
The system asked with great interest, "There are still two days left, what else do you want to do?"
"I'm not going to do anything, I'll just rest for two days," Xie Guijin said, stretching.
The system retorted indignantly, "What nonsense are you spouting? Can't you have any self-awareness as a mission taker?"
“You need to be responsible for your words,” Xie Guijin bent down to smell the flowers and retorted, “Which task haven’t I completed?”
"You, uh..." The system was momentarily speechless.
“Besides, I’ve been working for twelve consecutive days since the last mission,” Xie Guijin straightened up, put her hands on her hips, and said confidently, “What’s wrong with me taking two days off? Doesn’t your system have rest time? Doesn’t it have any authority? Doesn’t it have a Labor Law?”
Faced with Xie Guijin's three consecutive questions, the system meekly admitted that their system had no rest time, no centralized authority, and no "Labor Law".
“Oh,” Xie Guijin lowered her hand from her waist and said sarcastically, “Then you are truly pathetic.”
"But, but, there are still two days left. How can you guarantee that you can protect the demon palace?" Biluoji boldly spoke up, adhering to the principle of a slacker asking questions when she didn't understand.
“You were there when we discussed it yesterday,” Xie Guijin said helplessly, rubbing her temples. “I not only did what I was supposed to do according to plan, but I also did some extra work. There’s no way I couldn’t have made it through these two days.”
"Oh, then, what should I do after you leave?"
"First and foremost, you should focus on your cultivation and improve your level of cultivation. That's more reliable than anything else." Xie Guijin picked up a fallen branch from the flowerbed and squatted down to draw.
"Of course, if you really don't want to, that's fine too. Just learn and practice the incantation to activate the Soul Devouring Yin-Yang Array." Sensing Bi Luoji's resistance to cultivation, Xie Guijin added.
Biluoji picked at her fingers, buried her head in her chest, and said shamefully, "But my cultivation is not high enough, and the power of the Soul Devouring Yin-Yang Array will be greatly reduced."
"No, you," Xie Guijin coughed softly, "you just need to activate it."
"Really? You improved the magic circle. You're amazing!" Biluoji suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling.
Xie Guijin pretended not to hear and continued, "Secondly, every now and then we should find a group of cultivators with reliable character to cultivate with. Before they start cultivating, we must make them sign a contract with the magic weapon."
"My suggestion is not to focus on the same realm or the same race. We must spread out the search and make sure that all cultivators have no mortal enmity with each other, and ideally, no connection whatsoever. This time it was unavoidable, but we can't let it happen again. The Six Realms are so vast, it should be possible to do this," Xie Guijin suggested after thinking for a moment.
"Also, since you have no interest in doing business, you shouldn't get involved in your godmother's business except for making magical artifacts that store spiritual energy," Xie Guijin said, tapping the ground with a dry twig. "You don't need to let Xuan Tangjin know about this, lest your godmother be unhappy."
“You still don’t believe Xuanlang,” Biluoji pouted and muttered.
“It’s not that we don’t believe you,” Xie Guijin said, breaking the withered branch in two and throwing it deep into the flowerbed. “At this moment, it is of course sincere to you, but whether sincerity is ever-changing depends entirely on its conscience. We just feel that entrusting your entire fate to it is a very dangerous thing, and we want to give you an extra layer of protection.”
Biluoji blushed and hurriedly explained, "I know you mean well, I didn't, I didn't, I..."
It spoke incoherently, and by the time it finally finished, Xie Guijin was already sitting in a seashell boat, leisurely cruising on the small lake of the Demon Palace.
Biluoji paused for a moment, then said dryly, "You really aren't going to do anything anymore? Before, you, Xuanlang, and that Young Master Xue, the three of you made it sound like it was a serious matter."
“Because at that time we felt you were not capable of protecting yourself,” Xie Guijin thought to herself.
She broke off a lotus seedpod, picked out the lotus seeds inside and ate them, saying half-jokingly, "Because at that time we didn't know that Bai Mudan had left you so many good safeguards. Although we guessed that she had left you a backup plan, we always have to prepare for the worst."
"Oh dear, you don't need to worry too much," Xie Guijin placed the lotus seed heart in a small dish and said slowly, "In the Six Realms, there are three transcendent energies: spiritual energy, yin energy, and blood energy. There are three worldly energies: the energy of incense, the energy of desire, and the energy of the Heavenly Dao. Among these six energies, those who cultivate spiritual energy are relatively pure of mind, and they are easier to deal with even if they come to the Demon Palace to compete for them."
“If all else fails, we can simply prevent cultivators from coming to the Demon Palace to cultivate in the future. The existing ones have already been contracted for magical artifacts, and besides, they won't tell anyone for their own sake. This is a secret among you all. Since no cultivator knows that the spiritual energy here is abundant, there will naturally be no fighting over it.” Xie Guijin swallowed the last lotus seed on the lotus pod, tidied up the broken lotus pod, and continued.
She dipped her hand into the lake, feeling the ripples, and finally said, "You can even tell Manager Yao that you don't sell spiritual artifacts. Anyway, the money you've made these past few days is enough for you to squander for a long time. And those demons will bring money again in the future."
After hearing this, Biluoji had her own thoughts.
Xie Guijin didn't ask her anything, and just focused on eating, drinking and having fun.
The next two days passed peacefully, just as Xie Guijin had predicted.
The demons, having completed their cultivation, took their leave one after another.
Yao Jinfei sent a message once, only saying that everything was going smoothly.
Xuan Tangjin quietly cultivated and did not appear at all.
Finally, the time for parting arrived, and Biluoji felt a little reluctant to leave.
Xie Guijin replied, "It is fate that we met. There is no need to worry about anything. I hope you will be safe and happy in the future."
Biluoji burst into tears, her voice hoarse as she said, "You too."
As soon as Xie Guijin left, Xue Linchuan disappeared as well.
Xuan Tangjin sensed something and quickly stopped cultivating. He found Bi Luoji and thoroughly checked her over. Only after confirming that Bi Luoji was unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The couple embraced, expressing how much they missed each other.
Years later, Xuan Tang Jin once again became a powerful demon with profound demonic power.
Thanks to Yao Jinfei's painstaking efforts, Biluoji's magical artifacts became bestsellers throughout the Six Realms.
Biluo Ji loved to travel through the six realms, with Xuan Tang Jin by her side.
They made many friends during their travels, and invited them to enter the demon palace to cultivate, as appropriate.
Although practitioners were strictly selected according to Xie Guijin's advice, and ritual implements were signed in advance, insatiable desires eventually led to problems.
The news that the demon palace was rich in spiritual energy and suitable for cultivation gradually spread.
As expected, this sparked a fierce battle. The contender, who believed he knew himself and his enemy, had found a way to break the Devouring Spirit Yin-Yang Array, and was not afraid of Xuan Tang Jin, thought victory was in his grasp. However, he was unexpectedly suppressed by the combined forces of the big shots from all six realms.
This is because Yao Jinfei chose to follow Xie Guijin's advice and did not monopolize the pie of spiritual energy artifacts. Instead, she kept a low profile and gradually got well-known shops in the six realms to sell spiritual energy artifacts through various means, establishing deep partnerships with at least six or seven shops in each realm.
No single shop could monopolize this deal, and no shop dared to easily disrupt the balance.
When an external force tries to seize the source of spiritual energy artifacts, the shops will fight back for their own interests.
These shops that can establish themselves in the Six Realms all have powerful backers. When they unite, no force in the Six Realms can shake them.
Furthermore, due to the unique nature of spiritual energy, no single force in the Six Realms could truly unite as one and take over the Demon Realm in one fell swoop.
During this great battle, Biluoji discovered that it was a spiritual vein.
Therefore, Xie Guijin was certain that the triple protection left by Bai Mudan was effective. Even the most powerful cultivator could not erase the bond between Bi Luoji and the spiritual vein, because they were originally one.
Yao Jinfei, avoiding Xuan Tangjin, told Bi Luoji that Bai Mudan had discovered by chance a huge spiritual vein hidden by a magic array in the barren land.
She was overjoyed when she discovered it, but despite her best efforts, she only managed to damage the magic array a little bit, and couldn't allow the spiritual energy to overflow for cultivation.
But this tiny gap allowed her to realize that the spiritual vein had developed sentience.
Unfortunately, due to the special nature of the spiritual veins, the spirit cannot take human form like a monster, nor can it break free from its physical body like a sword spirit.
White Peony reached an agreement with the Spirit Vein: it would help the Spirit Vein escape so it could see the outside world, and the Spirit Vein would teach it to break the magic array and help it cultivate.
The white peony went to great lengths to deceive the heavens, allowing the spiritual veins to give birth through its womb.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Heavenly Dao, Bai Mudan, as agreed with the Spirit Vein, lied to Biluoji that her true form was Green Peony.
However, as they spent more and more time together, Bai Mudan truly came to regard Bi Luoji as her own daughter.
However, Heaven still noticed it. Heaven determined that Bai Mudan was cultivating, and although her behavior was inappropriate, a minor punishment would suffice as a warning.
However, since the spiritual vein defies the will of Heaven, it should not have developed sentience, much less have allowed sentience to escape.
Heaven intended to use the Three Calamities to eliminate Bi Luo Ji, but Bai Mudan risked her life to protect her.
Because of Bai Mudan's sacrifice of exchanging one life for another, Heaven tacitly allowed Bi Luoji to live.
Having witnessed the vicissitudes of life and fought bloody battles, Biluoji did not tell Xuantangjin about these experiences.
Biluoji's love for Xuan Tangjin did not seem to diminish, and she believed that Xuan Tangjin felt the same way.
But it learned to leave room for love and allow secrets to exist.
...
Xie Guijin regained consciousness and felt pain all over her body. She moved slightly and realized that she was tied up and kneeling on the ground.
Standing in front of her was a man clad in heavy black iron armor, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
The male protagonist asked sternly, "Do you know your crime?"
Completely bewildered, Xie Guijin was trying to figure out how to respond.
The man's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stepped forward, helped Xie Guijin up, untied the ropes, and asked anxiously, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Xie Guijin realized: "Xue Linchuan?"
"It's me."
"I'm fine, I just arrived too."
As the two exchanged pleasantries, the system transmitted the plot to them.
