Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1645 - 379: Chen Jie: What? You Want Me to Be the Sect Hierarch? (4)

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Your temper is truly quite fiery."

Gazing upon Du Zundao, Chen Jie declared, "Dharma King Du, I tested this path for you—it's tough to cross, but naturally, such a minor hurdle poses no challenge to the Dharma King. So, Dharma King, hurry over!"

Chen Jie hooked his finger, beckoning Du Zundao in a highly provocative manner.

Du Zundao's eyes turned crimson with rage, veins throbbing on his forehead, his stare brimming with savage intent, desperate to butcher Chen Jiusi on the spot.

Grating sounds

His teeth ground together fiercely; it was evident Du Zundao was on the verge of erupting, yet despite the furious gnashing, he abruptly balled his fists, pivoted aside, sat cross-legged upon the frozen bed, and growled, "Chen Jiusi, I'll wait right here for you. I refuse to believe you won't emerge!"

"The moment you step out, I'll slay you today without fail!"

Du Zundao's fury was boiling over.

Observing Du Zundao in such a state, Chen Jie felt no trace of dread in his heart—after all, they were sworn foes; trading barbs was expected, and fearing him would be laughable.

Chen Jie shot Du Zundao a derisive glance and taunted, "Dharma King, why stop jumping now? Aren't you the ferocious tiger descending the mountain? This lacks any ferocity—surely it's not all for show, is it?"

Du Zundao shut his eyes, feigning ignorance, lest Chen Jie's provocations drive him to madness.

Noticing Du Zundao stonewalling him and pretending to be lifeless, Chen Jie let out a scornful sneer, wheeled around, and announced, "Since the Dharma King lacks the courage to leap, I won't linger here with you. I'll seek out that Qiankun Great Method you've coveted for so long."

Grating sounds...

Du Zundao's fists tightened savagely, his eyes blazing with wrath—brat, you're pushing me too far!

With hatred surging, he lifted his head toward Chen Jie, only to discover that Chen Jie had already spun and ventured deeper into the island.

Chen Jie now advanced onto the island, this ice-and-fire isle positioned at the Ruins' heart, devouring the world's spiritual energy while absorbing the sun and moon's vital essence; its periphery featured bizarre ice-and-fire spectacles, such as lava rivers and icy stone formations.

Yet the nearer Chen Jie approached, the more those ice-and-fire marvels faded from view, giving way solely to an enchanting realm.

A thick fog enveloped this realm, the mist utterly extraordinary and dense; when Chen Jie extended his hand to probe it, no moisture clung, feeling instead like velvet silk.

Pressing onward, Chen Jie caught the murmur of flowing water; glancing below, a gentle stream meandered past, steam rising from it—astonishingly, a hot spring.

Trailing the stream ahead, Chen Jie reached its convergence point: a vast pond brimming with lotuses, where koi fish darted beneath the blooms in the water.

A veritable paradise of immortals.

In that instant, Chen Jie's gaze lifted to spot a pavilion amid the lotus pond; without hesitation, he unleashed his Qinggong, treading lightly on lotus leaves to bound into the central pavilion.

Once landed, Chen Jie beheld the pavilion entirely hewn from exquisite jade, its architecture grand and opulent, evoking a celestial abode.

Jade tables and chairs furnished the interior.

Nearby sat a circular cushion, woven from some mysterious golden-yellow material.

Likely intended for cultivation, Chen Jie's attention shifted, inexorably pulled to the item resting on a nearby stone table.

An archaic booklet it was; Chen Jie approached leisurely, peered down, and noted four bold characters upon it: "Qiankun Great Method"
