Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 381 Chaos Bead

The leaders of the five sects arrived very quickly.

After everyone arrived, Ji Nanchu raised his hand, and the spiritual power pouring from his fingertips condensed into a star map.

The intricate star charts are dazzling to the eye.

Shen Youqing, who was sitting to one side, withdrew his gaze and leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

Before Ji Nanchu could speak, Yue Hehua had already erected a soundproof barrier.

"The Mysterious Maiden Diagram has been unveiled."

Ji Nanchu's first words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

“Shen Qiuluo?” Zhang Youli frowned, then denied it, “I don’t believe the Xuan Nu’s inheritance would choose that kind of person.”

His words elicited nods of agreement from everyone except Ji Nanchu.

If the Mysterious Maiden Diagram is truly on Shen Qiuluo, then there is absolutely no hope for the future of the cultivation world!

“Shen Qiuluo?” Ji Nanchu looked at Zhang Youli and said in a gentle voice, “Sect Master Zhang, her birth date and time.”

Zhang Youli then announced Shen Qiuluo's birth date and time.

The star charts floating in the air began to rotate.

After a long pause, Ji Nanchu's gentle voice rang out, "It wasn't her."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Youli and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease.

Fortunately, there is still hope for the future of the cultivation world.

"But there haven't been any natural phenomena in the last few thousand years. When exactly did this Mysterious Maiden's legacy appear in the world?" Kong Yan asked, voicing his doubts.

Ji Nanchu remained silent, his gentle yet profound gaze, as deep as the starry sky, fixed on Shen Youqing.

As he looked at Shen Youqing, the five sect leaders also looked over.

A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into Zhang Youli's mind: "The Xuan Nu's legacy is in your possession?"

Upon hearing this, the main hall fell into a deathly silence.

It's an absurd guess, but it's not impossible.

Shen Youqing looked up at Ji Nanchu.

Ji Nanchu just looked at her, his gentle gaze seeming to ask Shen Youqing if she wanted to speak.

"You've figured it out?" Shen Youqing asked, her clear and calm voice utterly composed.

As expected of the sect leader of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, he's got some skills.

Ji Nanchu smiled slightly. "I've said it before, young friend Shen has a noble destiny."

Shen Youqing scoffed.

Like I said before, what a load of rubbish!

?

"Really on you?" Liu Xingchui's mind went blank.

Huayuan's usually composed and confident expression was unusually blank for a moment.

Can't you?
She snatched a disciple halfway through her journey and ended up snatching a golden phoenix instead?!
Shen Youqing had a thought.

A clear and complete image of the Mysterious Maiden appeared behind Shen Youqing, its divine aura and noble pressure enveloping the main hall.

At that moment, no one questioned the authenticity of the painting of the Mysterious Maiden.

They all had only one thought in their minds.

Is it really on Shen Youqing?!

In the silent room, apart from Shen Youqing and Ji Nanchu, everyone else looked shocked and bewildered.

After the absurd feeling subsided, the idea that it might work suddenly came to mind.

Shen Youqing is not perfect. Sometimes she likes to take unconventional approaches to things, but she has no fundamental problems. On the contrary, she is righteous to the point of being wicked when it comes to certain matters of principle.

Shen Youqing gave them ample time to observe and react before putting away the Xuan Nu painting.

"Jinjin..." Yue Hehua opened and closed his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't know how to ask.

Shen Youqing spoke calmly and composedly, "There's no way to explain why I possess the Xuan Nu Diagram."

There's no way to talk about being reborn; if I did, people would definitely think I'm crazy.

After realizing what had happened, Yue Hehua felt no joy, only worry.

This is not an honor, but a responsibility, an incredibly heavy responsibility.

"Young friend Shen has actually lit up the entire Mysterious Maiden Painting." Ji Nanchu's gentle voice carried a hint of emotion.

Shen Youqing looked at Ji Nanchu and asked, "Can the Mysterious Maiden Diagram repair the protective barrier?"

“The Mysterious Maiden Diagram won’t work,” Ji Nanchu said.

Under Shen Youqing's unchanging gaze, Ji Nanchu spoke up, "But young friend Shen can."

Shen Youqing tilted her head, looking puzzled.

What do you mean?
The Mysterious Woman Painting doesn't work, but she does?
Why didn't she know?
The five sect leaders, who had just digested Shen Youqing's Xuan Nu Diagram, crashed once again.

"Isn't the Guardian Realm irreparable?" Wang Yebing asked blankly. "Neither the Five Sects nor the Eight Families have a way to repair the Guardian Realm."

“That’s how it is in theory,” Ji Nanchu said.

Shen Youqing raised her hand and tapped her cheek, but ultimately remained silent.

He's the sect leader of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, after all; you can't argue with him.

“Young friend Shen possesses the essence of the Guardian Realm. The power of this essence merges with the power of the Mysterious Maiden Diagram, complementing each other.” Ji Nanchu’s voice was calm and unhurried.

?

It's that simple?
"You mean I should merge these two powers together, and the protective barrier will be repaired?" Shen Youqing couldn't help but ask after speaking, "Is it that simple?"

Ji Nanchu nodded.

Shen Youqing fell silent immediately.

The five sect leaders also fell silent.

Why didn't you say so sooner if you had a solution!

They almost had to beg their own sect's ancestor to offer a sacrifice to forge a demon-sealing formation!

"If that's the case, once the Demon Realm discovers that the Guardian Realm is being repaired, I'm afraid Jin Jin will be in danger," Yue Hehua said in a serious voice.

Hua Yuan's alluring voice rang out, "The danger has doubled."

Jun Su already had his eyes on Xiao Youqing, and if he discovers that she can repair the protective barrier, he will probably become even more insane.

“Shen Qiuluo and Zhao Lingxi are colluding, so Qingyu Sect isn’t that safe.” Zhang Youli spoke first, “Hehuan Sect is no good either, you’re all unreliable.”

Huayuan opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it.

“The Sword Tomb is safe enough,” Liu Xingchui said thoughtfully. “If I don’t agree to open it, no one can get in.”

However, it would be too cruel for Shen Youqing to be left alone in the Sword Tomb.

But unfortunately, her affairs now concern the cultivation world!
“The Five Elements Sect does not recommend it,” Wang Yebing said. “It’s not that I’m stingy, but Elder Fei and Shen Youqing have a grudge, and Shen Youqing cannot afford any accidents now.”

“Lingxiao Sect is also acceptable; the elders on the back mountain are very amiable,” Kong Yan said.

“The back mountain of the Yue family is also acceptable,” Yue Hehua said.

Ji Nanchu suddenly spoke up, "My suggestion is to go to the Heavenly Mystery Sect."

Shen Youqing looked up.

The five sect leaders also looked over, their eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

Is the Heavenly Mystery Sect really that safe?
Ji Nanchu retrieved the star map that was floating in the air.

"The Heavenly Mystery Sect has its own way of protecting Young Friend Shen," Ji Nanchu said.

Shen Youqing spoke up, "Let me think about it."

If we're talking about safety, then the Azure Dragon Sword Sect's Sword Tomb is definitely the place. But the problem is, she can't stay there forever; she needs to undergo tribulation.

What if the lightning tribulation destroys the sword tomb?
"Young friend Shen need not worry about the tribulation. Our sect has its own methods to resist the lightning tribulation." Ji Nanchu's voice remained gentle. "We can resist the lightning tribulation during the tribulation stage."

Jun Su is at least at the half-step Tribulation Transcending stage, while Shen Youqing would need to reach at least the late Mahayana stage to protect himself.

But the Mahayana stage is not so easy to cultivate!

Time, talent, and opportunity are all indispensable.

"Let me think about it," Shen Youqing said.

Ji Nanchu nodded and said nothing more.

The guardian realm can be repaired, and many problems can be easily solved.

While Shen Youqing's thoughts were wandering, the five sect leaders had already started chatting with Ji Nanchu.

"Is the Heavenly Mystery Sect opening its gates this time solely for the purpose of protecting the realm?" Hua Yuan's question was relatively friendly.

Ji Nanchu shook his head. "Only a part of it."

So there must be other reasons?

What could have prompted the founding of the Heavenly Mystery Sect?

"Chaos Pearl".

Ji Nanchu's voice remained as gentle as ever, completely unaware of the shocking things he had just said.

Why does Qingqing feel like she's cursed and alone?
Shen Quelin died, Shen Xingzhi died, Chu Jianyan died... [Too many to list, but of the five direct descendants from the previous life, only Xie Changyan remained. This young man was incredibly resilient.]

In this life, Xiao Ke died again.

Sometimes, Qingqing would doubt herself, wondering if she was cursed with bad luck, because nothing good ever came of it for anyone connected to her. [It's like being emotional in the middle of the night, feeling a bit emotional, and then feeling better the next day.]

As for when Xiao Ke will be resurrected, don't rush it. Let Qingqing be alone for a while first. [Just kidding]
