Chapter Seventy-Eight: Tianxiu City
The man's breathing became heavy.
He wanted to hug her, but she had already gotten off the bed.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the girl's jet-black hair to dance in the wind.
She looked outside; the window was open, and she could see the bright moon and the shimmering sea.
The moonlight shone on her naked, snow-white body, which was flawless and exuded ultimate allure in every part.
A spiritual light enveloped her body, and a light purple gauze dress appeared on Han Wei's body.
With her back to Gu Qi, she said to him, "Master, let's go to Tianxiu City. I heard there's a teleportation array set up by the Yunhuang Envoy there. Let's go take a look at that teleportation array."
Tianxiu City is one of the three holy cities of the Star Luo Realm, guarded by cultivators at the Integration Stage. Han Wei has been in the Star Luo Realm for quite some time now, and she has learned quite a bit about the Integration Stage cultivators there. Most of the Integration Stage cultivators in the Star Luo Realm are at the early or middle stages of the Integration Stage.
Now that Gu Qi has reached the late stage of the Integration Realm, it means that there is no longer anything in the Star Luo Realm that can threaten Han Wei's life.

The palace is magnificent; this is Tianxiu City, one of the four holy cities of the Star Luo Realm.
At this moment, in the forbidden area in the center of Tianxiu City, two streaks of light entered the depths of the forbidden area as if it were empty. The guards outside the forbidden area didn't even notice them.
In the center of the enormous underground palace, a massive magic circle was carved into the ground. Around the ground were seventy-two statues, each one lifelike, dressed as immortals, looking almost real.
The statue has a peculiar feel to it, with many runes carved on it. The statue is connected to the magic circle and is part of the magic circle.
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful girl in a purple gauze dress and a handsome man in white were standing beside the magic array. After observing the magic array for a moment, the girl in purple gauze scanned the statues with her divine sense.
This magic array was no challenge for Han Wei; she could activate it.
But there's a problem: if I'm teleported to the Cloud Wasteland Realm, what awaits me there?
Is there no one guarding the other side of this teleportation array?
The Cloud Wilderness Realm is a large realm, unlike this Star Luo Realm. If I teleport there, I might encounter old guys in the Mahayana stage or even the Tribulation Transcending stage. They are not easy to fool. If anyone discovers that she has a Wood Spirit Body, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
After much deliberation, Han Wei gave up on the teleportation array.
She can't just teleport there like that.
We need to solve at least one problem first: her aura.
If she doesn't bleed, it's fine, but once she does, the smell of her blood will almost immediately give her away. She can't let others know that she has a Wood Spirit Body. Does the Star Luo Realm have any spiritual herbs that can conceal her aura?
There should be some, try looking for it.
Let's go!
Han Wei told Gu Qi what to do, and then the master and apprentice left.

Tianxiu City covers a vast area, just like any other city in the Star Luo Realm. Each city is roughly equivalent to a country. As one of the four holy cities, Tianxiu City is more than ten times larger than an ordinary city, with diverse terrain including forests, grasslands, mountains, basins, plateaus, and more.
Like other cities, Tianxiu City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is where cultivators live, and their cave dwellings are built on spiritual veins of various sizes. There is a cave dwelling trading market in the inner city, which makes it convenient for cultivators to buy and sell their cave dwellings.
Tanshan is where the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of this inner city gather. The spiritual energy in this area is not as abundant as the best location in Tianxiu City, but there are still more than a dozen spiritual veins converging here, making it second only to Xiushan, where the Void Refinement stage cultivators reside.
Ding Qi is a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he is currently cultivating in his cave dwelling, which is located in the southwest area of Tanshan Mountain.
Suddenly, Ding Qi, who was meditating in his cave, sensed something. When he opened his eyes, he was horrified to see two people standing in front of him. The two, a man and a woman, were both incredibly beautiful. He was scared half to death by them. Who were they? How could they have entered his cave without him noticing, without triggering any of the restrictions placed outside?
Before he could even ask a question, the stunningly beautiful girl in purple pointed at him from mid-air, sending him flying and crashing to the ground, where he lost consciousness.
Han Wei looked at Ding Qi, who was lying unconscious on the ground. With a wave of her hand, she pulled him in front of her and suspended him in mid-air.
Han Wei performed a soul search on Ding Qi, who was in a coma.
She learned many things about Tianxiu City from this person's memories, and also learned that the Yunhuang envoy would arrive in four hundred years. She continued to search his soul and saw many things about him. After learning that he had tortured and killed many innocent mortal women, she ruthlessly crushed his primordial spirit.
Han Wei, at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, could kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator effortlessly.
After killing Ding Qi, Han Wei burned his body until not even ashes remained.
She looked at Gu Qi beside her and said:
"From now on, I will be Ding Qi."
As she spoke, she smiled and transformed into a handsome young man in black, who was none other than Ding Qi.
"Aren't those Yunhuang envoys coming to the Star Luo Realm to select geniuses? I'll use Ding Qi's identity to find a way to be selected by them. That's the safest way to enter the Yunhuang Realm," Han Wei said to Gu Qi with a smile.
Gu Qi looked at her, remaining silent.
Han Wei continued, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings, "Once we get to the Cloud Wasteland Realm, we'll find a way to escape. There might be a teleportation array there that leads directly to the Void Spirit Realm. Even if there isn't, we can get our hands on the Myriad Realms Instrument and a Realm-Breaking Ship."
The man in white with golden eyes looked at Han Wei's profile, his mind filled with doubt once more. She clearly hadn't been to the Upper Realm, had she? He hadn't even told her about it. Why did she know so much? She even knew about the Myriad Realms Instrument and the Realm-Breaking Ship.
He told Ling'er that Han Wei's fate was peculiar, and he wanted to see what secrets she held; this was not a lie. Besides her physical attraction to him, her peculiarities also intrigued him.
After Han Wei returned to her original form, she wandered around Ding Qi's cave, adjusting its layout to her liking. She then set up a protective array before finally sitting down beside a low table.
After she sat down, she let Gu Qi sit opposite her.
With a wave of her hand, a cloak as thin as a cicada's wing appeared on the low table.
This cloak was a spoil of war she obtained by killing others in the Red Deer Mountain Secret Realm of the Cloud Mist. This cloak has the effect of invisibility, but unfortunately, this invisibility is ineffective against Nascent Soul cultivators. After Han Wei advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she never used this magical artifact again.
Han Wei held the cloak in both hands and said to Gu Qi:
"This cloak can make me invisible because it contains Hidden Star Flower. It can also hide my aura when I'm invisible because it's been soaked in Breathing Spirit Grass. If I could get a lot of Breathing Spirit Grass, I could cover up my aura."
The Breath of Spirit Grass cannot change the composition of her blood, but it can prevent her blood from emitting that strong wood spirit aura. This way, even if she bleeds, she won't have to worry about being recognized as a wood spirit at a glance.
"Do you think there's a Herb of Restoration in Tianxiu City?" Han Wei asked Gu Qi.
Gu Qi remained silent.
Corpse puppets cannot express their own thoughts.
