The Nine Heavens Divine Palace.
The word "mistress" almost made Ji Jiuying lose her balance.
Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly as she looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared in front of her.
What are you doing here?
Yin Han, Zi Yu, Wu Xin, and Long Yang looked at Ji Jiu Ying respectfully.
“Mistress, Yingyue, ever since Master left, those old fogies from the Nine Heavens Temple have been intentionally or unintentionally inciting the people of Nine Heavens City, trying to make General Jingyuan the master of the Nine Heavens Temple. They dare to covet Master’s position. Mistress, do you think we should kill them all?”
As Long Yang spoke, a chilling killing intent spread through his eyes.
"I??"
Ji Jiuying was completely bewildered. She knew nothing about the inner workings of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, but since someone dared not covet A Yue's things, she couldn't just ignore it.
"Yingyueyi, what do you think?"
Yingyue sneered: "Those old fogies are just using General Jingyuan as a pretext. They are testing the mistress's strength and our bottom line."
“Mistress, how about I kill them all tonight?”
“I’ll go with you.” Qingling stepped forward.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yu and the others thought to themselves, "He truly lives up to his reputation as the boss; he kills without hesitation."
Ji Jiuying shook her head and said, "There's no need to kill them. Just arrest them all, and I'll naturally find a way to make them obey!"
"yes."
"I am going to Jiuhua Mountain for seclusion now. No one should disturb me unless I summon them."
"yes."
After explaining everything, Ji Jiuying transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for Mount Jiuhua.
His seclusion for cultivation was a pretense; his true intention was to revive Lan Xi.
Ji Jiuying flashed into the space and walked straight towards the ice coffin. Qi Yun and Li Moning, who were under the Soul Nourishing Tree, stood up and looked at her in confusion.
Until a black and white twin flower appeared in her hand, Qi Yun's eyes widened. It was a twin lotus with two stems growing side by side!
She wants to revive her using twin lotus blossoms?
"Girl, the fate of life and death is predetermined! Reviving her will bring you backlash..."
Qi Yun stepped forward to remind him.
“She died because of me. Now that I have twin lotus flowers, I can’t just sit idly by.”
Seeing her insistence, Qi Yun didn't say anything more.
"You guys will protect me later!"
Ji Jiuying gave instructions to Hei Xiangling and Dongfang Yao, and then consulted the Heavenly Punishment Manual. Following the methods in the manual, she cast a spell to melt the ice on Lan Xi's body, revealing her original appearance.
The bloodied and mangled chest was a horrifying sight.
A black and a white flower floated in mid-air. The black lotus could gather souls, but Lanxi's soul was still inside her body, so it was not needed. The white flower, however, could give her physical body a new life, including her shattered heart.
"Protect me!"
Xiao Huang'er, Hei Xiangling, and the others quickly stood behind Ji Jiuying, and slowly and continuously gathered all their power into Ji Jiuying's body.
The Twin Lotus Blossoms are supreme-level spiritual treasures. If she were to rely solely on her spiritual power, it would be difficult to separate the two lotus blossoms. If any mistake were to occur during the process, both flowers could very well be destroyed.
Ji Jiuying quickly formed hand seals and used her spiritual power to carefully separate the two flowers. Throughout the process, everyone in the space couldn't help but hold their breath.
Sweat streamed down Ji Jiuying's forehead, her hair clinging to her face. The constant depletion of her mental energy made her face paler.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
The two lotus flowers finally separated, and the white lotus flew into the sky above Lanxi. Guided by Ji Jiuying, it slowly sank into Lanxi's heart.
Until the lotus completely disappeared, Ji Jiuying's face was pale and bloodless, a trace of bright red spread from the corner of her mouth, and she collapsed to the ground.
Hei Xiangling quickly stepped forward and caught her, looking at her with heartache.
"Xiangling, please help me up!"
Ji Jiuying took out the pill and swallowed it, slowly recovering. Her gaze fell on Lan Xi, and she saw that Lan Xi's heart was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye until there was no trace of the wound. Even her originally pale face slowly turned rosy.
This scene stunned everyone present, including Ji Jiuying.
It truly lives up to the title of "Supreme Spiritual Treasure." No wonder people fight tooth and nail over it. Having twin lotus blossoms is like having an extra life; who could resist such temptation?
Two hours later, Ji Jiuying's mental strength had almost recovered.
Arriving beside Lanxi, he channeled his soul power to completely return her soul to her body. Just at the most crucial moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered above Mount Jiuhua, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Yingyue and the others looked in the direction of Jiuhua Mountain with confusion. What was going on?
The mistress has only been at Mount Jiuhua for half a day, yet she has already attracted a lightning tribulation. Could it be that she has advanced to a higher level?
"Wait, this doesn't seem like a tribulation of lightning, it seems more like... divine punishment!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the group was startled. Qingling, her face full of worry, remembered what she had said in the pyramids.
"My sister must have used the Twin Lotus to revive Lanxi and suffered a backlash. No, I have to go help her."
As he was about to fly towards Mount Jiuhua, Yingyue grabbed his hand.
“Divine punishment is no ordinary tribulation. We can’t help her. If we approach rashly, we might even implicate her.”
"But······"
"Don't worry, her divine beast can help her."
——
Ji Jiuying's heart sank. Was this her punishment?
"Girl, divine punishment has arrived!"
Hei Xiangling's face darkened as she recalled the time in the Dragon Clan's secret realm, when even she, a flesh god with over 50,000 years of cultivation, could not withstand the divine punishment; the pain was indescribable.
Ji Jiuying gritted her teeth and transferred the last bit of her soul power into Lan Xi's body.
boom--
Before the first divine punishment descended, Ji Jiuying flashed out of the space to prevent the people inside from being affected.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck Ji Jiuying. Before she could even scream, she collapsed to the ground, blood gushing up her throat as she lay sprawled in a pool of blood.
Girl—
The person inside the space looked at the person outside with a worried expression.
"Girl, let us out!"
"We have a way to help you withstand divine punishment."
Ji Jiuying's mind went blank. She couldn't hear Hei Xiangling and the others' shouts at all. All she could hear was the constant rumbling of thunder. She slowly turned over and stared intently at the thunderclouds in the sky.
Click—
Divine punishment transformed into an evil dragon, soaring from the clouds before striking Ji Jiuying directly.
Ji Jiuying exerted all her strength, summoned the Blazing Sun Bow, drew back the bowstring, and three fire dragons spread out, crashing into the divine punishment.
Thud—
The enormous impact shattered her eardrums, and a glaring crimson line spread from her mouth, nose, and ears. Despite having the divine artifact in hand, the divine punishment still fell upon her.
She was completely unconscious. Her clothes were torn to shreds, and there wasn't a single patch of skin on her body that was unharmed. Blood was spreading outwards along the grass, a horrifying sight.
