"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!"
The trapped Nascent Soul begged for mercy in terror. He had now realized that A Yao was the expert who had killed Tianji Sanren. He only regretted that he had been blind and had actually provoked such a monster.
To be able to kill Tianji Sanren in one blow, one must at least be in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. How could I be so blind?
"You escaped by chance last time, and now you're coming back to die? Well then, I'll grant your wish." After saying this lightly, the nascent soul in her hand let out a series of shrill screams, and then fell silent, the entire nascent soul disintegrating and disappearing.
The Nascent Soul cultivator named Kong Long was completely annihilated, both in body and soul.
Ayao smiled as she looked at the stunned Xu Mubai.
Xu Mubai stared blankly at A Yao for several moments before a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself, "How stupid of me. I should have realized long ago that her strength far surpasses his; otherwise, how could she always be so composed? Isn't that just being fearless?"
"Should I address you as 'senior'?" Xu Mubai asked coldly.
Ah Yao stroked her long, black hair with one hand and said with a smile, "It's not wrong for you to call me senior."
"What exactly is your cultivation level, senior?" Xu Mubai asked.
So you really call me senior?
Ayao frowned. He really was so fake to her, and she was unhappy again.
"What's my cultivation level? Guess!" Ayao said with a smile.
Xu Mubai didn't guess; his face was pale as he flew forward.
"Hey, you..."
Ayao angrily followed Xu Mubai.
Xu Mubai was seriously injured and could not fly for more than fifteen minutes before he could no longer hold on and landed on a mountain peak.
Ayao followed him down from the sky. Seeing his pitiful state, she waved her hand, and a soft light enveloped Xu Mubai, instantly healing all his injuries. Xu Mubai examined his body and found that not only were his injuries healed, but even his previously regressed cultivation level had been restored.
He returned to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, reaching the Great Perfection.
He stared at Ayao in shock.
He believed that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't accomplish something like this.
Could she be in the Void Refinement stage?
The Ancient Orchid Realm is actually not as good as the Canglan Realm back then. In the Canglan Realm, you could still see experts at the Void Refinement stage, such as Lu Xiuwen, the patriarch of the Lu family and A Yao's father, who was at the late Void Refinement stage. But in the Ancient Orchid Realm, there are very few cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.
The Void Refinement stage only exists in legends within the Ancient World.
Although the Quranic realm also has a connection to the upper realm, it is far too dangerous.
To reach the Upper Realm from the Canglan Realm, one can only pass through the sphere of influence occupied by the Demon Race. Although there are no Demon Race members blocking the boundary gate here, the boundary gate has been destroyed, making entry almost certain death. Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Gulan Realm have been killed by the storms within the boundary gate for millions of years; no cultivator has left the Gulan Realm since.
Millions of years of stagnation have led to a decline in the number of talented cultivators in the cultivation world. Coupled with constant internal strife and several millennia-long wars with the demon race, the maximum strength of cultivators here has been getting weaker and weaker.
Nowadays, there are very few people who even know that there is a Void Refinement realm above the Nascent Soul realm.
Xu Mubai's knowledge of the Void Refining stage, and the fact that there are the Integration stage and the Great Ascension stage above it, is considered quite extensive.
"I treated your injuries, aren't you going to thank me?" Ayao asked Xu Mubai.
Xu Mubai said irritably, "If it weren't for you, senior, how could I have been injured?"
Ayao: "..."
I'm so annoyed!
"How dare you talk to me like that? Are you looking for a beating?" A-Yao glared at him, deliberately releasing some of her oppressive aura. This wasn't the kind of oppressive aura that Tianji Sanren possessed; at A-Yao's current level, even the slightest leak of her oppressive aura was terrifying. The entire sky suddenly changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared for tens of thousands of miles, and space trembled.
Xu Mubai stared at A Yao in shock, his heart pounding, but he didn't back down.
“Senior is a reclusive master, and I am no match for him. Besides, I am now your prisoner. You may kill me or torture me as you please,” Xu Mubai said.
Ayao dislikes how he speaks now; every word is barbed. He wasn't like this at the beginning. He was so gentle with her then, just like Xu Fengzhi was back then.
However, she then remembered that she was the one who had made him into the way he was now.
If she hadn't kept tormenting him, he would still be the same as he was at the beginning.
Looking at Xu Mubai's handsome profile, Ayao felt guilty and heartbroken. She reached out to touch Xu Mubai's face, but Xu Mubai roughly slapped her hand away. A burst of light surged from his body, transforming him into a long blue rainbow that shot forward.
Ayao: "..."
You bastard! Do you think you can get away with this?
She wanted to force Xu Mubai to come back, but hesitated for a moment and instead transformed into a purple rainbow and caught up with Xu Mubai.
————
In a cultivator's trading market, magnificent pavilions had sprung up everywhere, and cultivators could be seen setting up stalls all over the streets and alleys. Xu Mubai stood in front of a stall, looking at the various materials displayed there. The stall owner was merely a Golden Core cultivator, and sensing the Nascent Soul stage aura emanating from Xu Mubai, he stood up tremblingly and stood there respectfully.
"Please feel free to look around, senior."
Xu Mubai stared at the refining materials, his gaze lingering for a long time on a jet-black, fist-sized rock. Ayao, standing beside him, said, "For this kind of worthless rock, I could find you an entire mountain range. Do you want it?"
Xu Mubai ignored her.
After asking the stall owner how many spirit stones it cost, he paid and left.
These past few days, no matter how much A Yao tried to tease Xu Mubai, he ignored her. A Yao could have used commands to force him, but she didn't.
After buying some materials and pills in the market, Xu Mubai left. Once outside, he waved his hand, and a twenty-zhang-long flying boat appeared in the air. He flew to the deck, and A Yao followed. Xu Mubai went into the cabin and began working with the materials he had just acquired in the market.
Do you want to refine weapons?
"What can you make from this scrap metal? How about I give you a few magical treasures instead?" A Yao said, waving her hand to reveal a silver-white mirror—the Mirror of Cause and Effect. This innate spiritual treasure had been damaged by Lou Munan, but she had now repaired it.
She wanted to give the mirror to Xu Mubai, but Xu Mubai didn't even look at it.
"Xu Mubai, can you say something to me?" Ayao said angrily.
Xu Mubai pretended not to hear.
Ayao turned and left in anger.
After she left, Xu Mubai turned around and looked in the direction she had gone.
For the next three months, Ayao and Xu Mubai had a cold war.
