The servant girl replied without delay.
...
Inside the Immortal Lotus Sect's Disciple Trial Secret Realm.
"Hoo hoo hoo——"
A fierce gale roared across the woods, shaking the branches with great noise.
Nangong Yaoyao landed with a fatigued look, tossing out array flags one by one to establish a brief protective array.
Right at that instant, she detected a presence, whipping her head around abruptly.
Ahead of her, a stunningly beautiful woman with a graceful and lithe form, glowing in a faint sacred radiance, bearing a similar aura to her own, approached at a leisurely pace.
"Senior Sister?"
Nangong Yaoyao felt a jolt inside, sensing no delight but sharp caution.Still, she forced a delighted look onto her features, appearing endearingly vulnerable.
"Junior Sister."
Ouyang Ni offered a soft smile, her tone soothing like a mild spring wind brushing over Nangong Yaoyao’s spirit, dissolving her exhaustion, wariness, and dread.
With zero pause.
Nangong Yaoyao bolted off, shifting into a spectral rainbow streak that ripped across the void.
"Boom!"
Yet soon after, a shape resembling a blue dragon plummeted from the sky above, hurling Nangong Yaoyao away as she coughed up fresh blood.
"Brother Zhao, might I ask how this little sister has upset you?"
Nangong Yaoyao stumbled but caught her balance, her voice laced with pitiful appeal.
"Junior Sister, stop pretending; you understand too, Master requires just one apprentice, so... between you and me, in the end, only one survives."
Draped in a pure white lotus robe, her allure otherworldly and untouched by worldly dust, Ouyang Ni advanced toward her, her words gentle.
While talking, unseen silver needles flew straight at Nangong Yaoyao.
"Senior Sister, even if Master harbors such thoughts, maybe it's a trial for us. As fellow sisters, we ought to team up right now; we can settle the winner later. Anyway, I've never aimed to rival you."
Nangong Yaoyao lifted her palm, unleashing a lotus artifact, her tone earnest and true.
Though Ouyang Ni was female, witnessing her junior so fragile and touching, genuine in her plea, a flicker of softness stirred in her chest.
In that brief pause, she commanded the man close by: "Hurry, attack!"
The fellow at her side stayed silent, brandishing his spear as he lunged forward like a shot arrow, his momentum overwhelming.
"Junior Sister, it's not that I refuse to join forces with you, but your progress has been far too swift!"
Ouyang Ni gazed at her junior, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, powerless to change it.
Under their joint assault, Nangong Yaoyao fell back steadily, her complexion ashen.
At that point, she shaped seals with her fingers, and abruptly a massive sun emerged from her lotus artifact, morphing into a blazing Golden Crow that whipped up a blazing tempest, raging outward everywhere.
"Go!"
Nangong Yaoyao wasted no time, fleeing frantically alongside the altered Ji Shaoyi.
"That's the Golden Crow Heavenly Light Great Divine Ability from the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect! Whoever grasps this mighty technique isn't some average figure!"
"There were whispers earlier that the genius from the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect, Ji Shaoyi, perished in the ’Fusang Secret Realm’, but now it seems my junior sister probably reshaped him."
Observing her vanishing junior, traces of dread flickered deep within Ouyang Ni's gaze.
...
Nangong Yaoyao fled to a barren lakeshore, instructing Ji Shaoyi to stand watch nearby as she erected a basic array, soothing her turbulent spiritual power.
Gazing at her lake reflection, more grown-up than in her younger days, Nangong Yaoyao appeared a bit lost, whispering: "Mother, Yaoyao misses you terribly."
Back in the Five Poisons Cult days, despite her wisdom and poise, with her mother and Meng Xiaochan around, she acted like a young girl still, doted on and free from worries.
Now at the Immortal Lotus Sect, under a Nascent Soul Master, her horizons had broadened with fresh experiences, yet she couldn't reclaim that easygoing life.
In mere seconds, the softness and yearning in her eyes faded away.
Her flawlessly stunning face now carried hints of icy elegance, as she ingested a healing pill, swiftly mending her wounds.
For this disciple trial, her aim went beyond mere success; she sought outstanding performance.
That way, she could keep pace with her senior sisters.
...
Starry Sky Sea.
These days, the Starry Sky Sea buzzed with excitement.
The fabled Kunpeng Nest had truly surfaced.
A cataclysmic heavenly phenomenon brought this mythic secret realm into plain view for throngs of onlookers.
However, a supreme secret realm like this was fated to evade small-time cultivators, and no single power could claim it alone.
Numerous human groups from the Starry Sky Sea, various ocean race powers, and beast kings in human form all rushed to vie for control of this realm.
All the same, plenty of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Nascent Soul Cultivators headed there to scout, aiming to snag some benefits amid the chaos or uncover hidden chances.
Hearing of this, Lu Quanzhen figured that this sea zone would ignite a massive clash, with rivers of blood spilling, but he decided to venture forth anyway.
On the path to immortality, without striving or grabbing, if one shies from every risk, forever hesitant and fearful, just grinding away in seclusion, then what's the use of pursuing cultivation!
After half a month's travel, he drew nearer to the ocean stretch where the Kunpeng Nest had arisen.
Even from a distance, before arriving, he felt the clashes of Nascent Soul level cultivators raging in the distance.
Countless bodies drifted on the waves, mainly demon beast consciousness seas, with blood staining the waters.
"A Nascent Soul level secret realm, eh..."
Lu Quanzhen had come here to check if the secret realm imposed limits, like barring entry to those at Nascent Soul or above.
From the looks of things, though, this realm was clearly pitched at the Nascent Soul stage.
"With my power, stepping into a Nascent Soul level secret realm would spell doom for sure."
While Lu Quanzhen trusted his abilities somewhat, he wouldn't dare insert himself into a Nascent Soul level secret realm.
After all, calculated risks differ from outright suicide.
But thinking of his cultivation method, he refused to abandon hope outright, opting instead to watch and linger in the area.
The moment the Nascent Soul battles eased, he edged closer in.
Quite a while passed before Lu Quanzhen stared at the immense cliff rising from the sea's depths, muttering: "So this is the Kunpeng Nest..."
