Chapter 591: That Young Man Was Truly Adorable
“Jingci...”
Gui Ning looked at his granddaughter, his expression filled with surprise.
But when he sensed the ripples of spiritual power radiating around Jingci,
Gui Ning knew that the person standing before him was no longer his granddaughter.
“Second Sister...”
Not far away, Yuan’s delighted voice rang out.
A streak of flowing light cut across the night sky and landed beside “Tushan Jingci.”
“Yuan. I never expected that the one to awaken me would be you.” She spoke to Yuan, her expression carrying a trace of complexity. “Where is Eldest Sister?”
“I don’t know...” Yuan shook her head, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes. “Eldest Sister does not seem to have been sealed, but no one knows where she is, nor what that fellow did to her.”
“There is no need to worry too much. Eldest Sister will not die so easily. Once matters here are settled, we will go find her.”
She spoke softly, then turned her head. Her gaze passed over everyone and looked toward Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo met her eyes and felt that “Tushan Jingci” seemed to be looking at an old acquaintance, yet also at an enemy.
“Shen, stop wasting time.” Shou took a step forward and looked coldly at Xiao Mo. “Leave him to me! I will kill him with my own hands!”
The god named Shen did not refute Shou. She only lowered her head in silence.
In the end, Shen gave a soft sigh, and a trace of complicated gentleness flashed through her eyes.
“Then try again... Stop us one more time.” Shen raised her head and spoke slowly to Xiao Mo.
As the words fell, Shen extended a finger and tapped lightly in the air toward Xiao Mo and the others.
One blue flower after another bloomed before Xiao Mo and the others.
Xiao Mo and the others immediately dodged aside.
The cultivators who failed to dodge were touched by the petals, and flowers began to bloom endlessly from their bodies.
In less than two breaths, before they could even let out a scream, flowers had covered their entire bodies.
When the petals scattered, neither their souls nor their physical bodies remained. Those petals returned to the Moon God Tree and once again became nourishment for it.
The great battle began anew.
Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng charged toward Shen.
Gui Ning and the others dealt with Yuan and Shou.
“The laws I govern are very different from those governed by Eldest Sister, Third Sister, and the others.”
Shen stood before Xiao Mo and looked at him calmly.
“Millions upon millions of years ago, the laws I governed were those of every flower and blade of grass beneath heaven. You people of all races also called me the Flower God.”
“One day, a young man told me that I was more beautiful than every flower beneath heaven.”
“But then he also said that my eldest sister was even more beautiful than I was.”
As she spoke, Shen could not help but smile softly, her eyes filled with tenderness. “That young man truly was adorable.”
Xiao Mo did not know why she had suddenly said these things.
And in the very next moment,
the god named Shen gradually withdrew her smile. Her fingertips hooked through the air, and tens of thousands of petals condensed into birds, surging toward Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng.
Those petals were as sharp as blades. After Xiao Mo dodged them, they shredded a mountain peak, then swept toward the two of them again.
While Gui Junmeng held back those petals, Xiao Mo formed a spell incantation with his fingers. The long river of yin and yang wrapped around Shen, attempting to pull her out of Jingci’s body.
But Shen merely took one step forward and stepped out of the long river of yin and yang. A long sword formed from petals had already pointed at Xiao Mo’s heart.
After they exchanged fifty moves, Xiao Mo discovered that her strength was almost no different from that of a cultivator who had just entered the Ascension Realm.
Fortunately, because she had not yet grown accustomed to this body or to the laws of this world, her strength was unstable.
Moreover, the quality of Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng’s Immortal Realms already far exceeded that of ordinary Immortal Realm cultivators.
For a time, Xiao Mo and Gui Junmeng were locked in a stalemate with Shen. Neither side could immediately take the other down.
The same was true on Gui Ning’s side. He and the others fought back and forth against those two gods.
But as the other side adapted more and more to the laws of heaven and earth, and more and more to the bodies they had occupied, their strength continued to climb, making it increasingly difficult for Xiao Mo and the others to withstand them.
And that was not all.
Several of Tushan’s elders had already been completely controlled by the Moon God Tree and were all charging toward Xiao Mo and the others.
The realms of those elders were not low, and dealing with them was equally troublesome.
In addition, more and more Tushan cultivators were being controlled. They ignored life and death, throwing themselves at Xiao Mo and the others like moths to a flame.
“Xiao Mo, if this continues, I am afraid this will not work...”
Gui Junmeng transmitted her voice to Xiao Mo.
“I have a way to awaken Jingci.”
“Jingci’s Great Dao and mine are connected. I can sense that Jingci’s soul is still there. She has not disappeared, and she is still resisting, trying to retake her body. If my soul enters Jingci’s body, perhaps I can help Jingci take it back.”
“No.”
Xiao Mo immediately rejected Gui Junmeng’s proposal.
The souls of gods had endured the baptism of millions upon millions of years, and even now, they could still seize the bodies of others. From that alone, it was clear how terrifying the souls of these gods were.
Even if Junmeng entered Jingci’s body, it would be nothing more than a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.
“But if this goes on...” Gui Junmeng clenched her small hands tightly, her fox eyes filled with worry.
The current situation was extremely bad.
Putting aside the fact that the strength of those three gods was still rising without pause,
the flower buds on the Moon God Tree, which looked as if they were nurturing some kind of existence, were absolutely not merely decorations either.
If this dragged on any longer, matters would likely become extremely dire.
And just as Gui Junmeng was thinking, the vines of the Moon God Tree pierced toward Gui Junmeng and Xiao Mo once again.
At the same time, [N O V E L I G H T] Shen flashed forward, raised a long leg, and kicked at Xiao Mo.
Petals bloomed, and Xiao Mo was sent crashing violently into a mountain peak.
BOOM!
A mountaintop was abruptly smashed apart by Xiao Mo’s body, and dust rose in all directions.
In the next moment, one Moon God Tree vine after another descended from the sky, piercing through the hundred-zhang-high cloud of dust and stabbing toward Xiao Mo.
When the dust scattered, Xiao Mo’s body had already been run through by the vines.
“Xiao Mo!”
At the sight, Gui Junmeng’s eyes trembled, and her heart turned cold with despair.
She knew all too well what happened when a cultivator was pierced by those vines.
And when Gui Junmeng flew toward Xiao Mo, Shen blocked her path.
Xiao Mo lowered his head and looked at his pierced body. He could feel his spiritual power and life source being continuously extracted.
But in the next moment, Xiao Mo discovered that the Great Dream of Yellow Millet inside his body had begun to circulate on its own, constantly resisting the vines’ erosion.
Then, in Xiao Mo’s mind, character after character surfaced. This was not the script of the present world, yet Xiao Mo could recognize it. What those characters recorded was the heart method of Great Dream of Yellow Millet.
Those characters continuously split apart, then reassembled themselves, and finally condensed into an entirely new formation diagram.
In a trance, Xiao Mo saw a man holding a long sword, drawing a formation with sword qi. The grand formation he drew was identical to the formation diagram in Xiao Mo’s mind.
And at the center of that grand formation, one golden body of a god after another was utterly suppressed and slain.
