After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Fighting isn't her style; staying in a room quietly calculating things like this is more in line with her personality.

After letting her mind wander for a while, Bu Suantian reached out and slapped her cheeks to clear her head. There was no point in just thinking about it; as a fortune teller, she should trust the results she had calculated.

Do you think her divination was wrong?

Although... the process has been slightly different recently, the result is still correct.

Xiao Yu should be fine. As the one destined to break her death tribulation, he hasn't even broken it for her yet, so how could he die halfway through? He couldn't possibly be stupid enough to find a Nascent Soul cultivator and rush over there, could he?

Thinking of this, Bu Suantian shook his head. How could that be?

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her leisurely expression changed, and she gradually became serious, beginning to calculate silently.

Meanwhile, above the rooms of the Bu Suan Tian Inn, in the room of Ancient Athens.

A woman with a slender and graceful figure was leaning on the table, her fair hand supporting her soft cheek. Her plum blossom-like eyes were open, and she was looking with interest at a figure in front of her who was clutching his arm, pale-faced, and weak.

It was the figure that had intercepted Xiao Yu.

"So... what was the result? Did Yin Hongniang retrieve the Gu worm?"

She spoke, her lighthearted tone carrying a hint of teasing as it reached the figure's ears.

"No, I failed. He was stronger than I thought. He cleaved through the domain along with my arm and escaped through a gap."

The figure and voice were flat, as if they had no emotions in them, as if it were none of their business.

However, the woman facing her smiled slightly, as if she had overheard something interesting, and then said with a hint of pleasure:

"I remember he was only at the Embryo stage, right? At most, he could only advance one realm to the Core Formation stage. Shouldn't a Nascent Soul cultivator like you be able to do it easily? Oh... now he's at the Golden Core stage."

Under the mysterious light, the figure's previously relaxed fists suddenly clenched.

In this battle, some people fell into lower realms while others rose to higher realms.

Xiao Yu comprehended the truth during the battle, crossed the threshold, and broke through in the midst of the battle. His true cultivation level rose from the Embracing Simplicity stage to the Core Formation stage. With the amplification of the full moon, it was even stronger, reaching the Golden Core stage.

There is a significant gap between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, but compared to the Core Formation stage, Xiao Yu wouldn't be so easily defeated by a single blow.

The news that he crossed two major realms, fought a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and then successfully escaped is astonishing and would probably shock many people.

Afterwards, as if energy was conserved, his figure dropped a level, corresponding to Xiao Yu's advancement, falling from the Nascent Soul stage back to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"As for the Gu worms, since we can't get them back, let's just leave it at that. Anyway, we've already achieved our goal. The Tianyan Sect didn't force us to take back the Gu worms, so they probably weren't really interested in that."

The figure lowered its head slightly.

She volunteered to intercept Xiao Yu this time. Her purpose, besides retrieving the Gu worm Yin Hongniang from Xiao Yu, also included a personal motive: to test the waters of the struggle for the Great Dao.

She is now at the Nascent Soul stage.

In addition to condensing one's soul and consciousness into an infant form, the most important thing for someone in the Nascent Soul Realm is to have a sliver of understanding of the Dao.

To comprehend one's own Dao, to form a nascent soul, and then to begin stumbling forward on an invisible path, the nascent soul is merely the starting point.

Each path is a unique mountain peak; to reach the ultimate destination, one must keep climbing and reaching the summit.

Xiao Yu was a climber who climbed the mountain with her and chose a similar route.

Originally, Xiao Yu's cultivation level was far from the Nascent Soul stage, so he couldn't clash with the figure for the time being. However, his natal flying sword broke the rules and prematurely helped Xiao Yu comprehend a trace of the Dao.

The two met by sheer coincidence, like two paths colliding. They were strongly connected, each a stumbling block to the other, yet also a whetstone for the other's blade.

Unfortunately, two tigers cannot share one mountain; one cannot allow another to snore beside one's bed.

Xiao Yu may have realized this, or he may have just seized the opportunity presented by the broken mirror on his body. In any case, he did not run away in the end.

Otherwise, he would have lost the very beginning of this invisible battle for the Great Dao.

And so this battle took place, and the result was obvious: she lost.

Although she was far superior to Xiao Yu in terms of realm, she was slightly inferior to him in terms of understanding of the Dao.

In a life-or-death battle, Xiao Yu would surely die. However, in this test of the Dao, the figure did not go all out. Xiao Yu's strength exceeded her expectations, far surpassing those geniuses on the Rising Star Ranking. Caught off guard, he actually found an opportunity to cut a gap and escape. Surviving a battle between a Core Formation cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator would be a victory.

Now she's essentially been kicked off the mountain peak by Xiao Yu and has to start all over again; the battle is still undecided.

Upon reading this, the figure involuntarily straightened up.

The woman at the table immediately saw through her thoughts:

"You want to go to the Demon Barbarian Lands?"

"Mm." The figure nodded, not denying it.

For humans, there is only one bright moon, and Xiao Yu currently holds the upper hand. If the other figures were to fight for it again, they would have no chance of winning. But it's a different story for the demons and barbarians.

The woman nodded, agreeing with the figure's idea.

"I heard that there are two bright moons hanging in the sky above the demon barbarians. One of them doesn't have an owner yet, and the other is unknown. It's not impossible for you to go there and start over. Go ahead, but if you die, no one will collect your body. However, you don't necessarily have to be so stubborn. Wouldn't it be better to cultivate together?"

The woman looked at the figure and kindly offered advice.

After all, two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female.

The figure remained silent, the atmosphere around them still, but the meaning conveyed was very clear: Impossible!

"You stubborn little rabbit!"

The woman sighed softly, said nothing more, and turned her gaze to the black and white chessboard on the table beside her.

The chessboard is complex and intricate, with black and white pieces intersecting. Currently, black seems to have the advantage, seemingly pushing white into a dead end.

However, upon closer inspection, Bai Zi still shows a slight sign of resurgence.

"Are they trying to push new actors onto the stage after the old ones have stepped down? What kind of nonsense is the Yantian Sect up to now? I really don't want to get involved. But what he said is right, he is indeed very interesting."

The fox demon was sent by the woman to find out what state Xiao Yu was in, judging from the fox demon's feedback.

Xiao Yu was well protected; otherwise, why would the temple be so lively, with a Golden Core Realm leader among the people he casually picked up on the road, who was extremely protective of his own?

Then, another person, Li Yunshang, appeared, who had a Nascent Soul Realm expert behind her.

They were all deliberately trying to prevent the fox demon from assassinating Xiao Yu.

This level of bad luck is so bad, it's like even drinking cold water can cause problems. The woman felt sorry for her.

The figure codenamed "Ears" was protected by the Great Dao Contest and was not affected, which is why she was sent to retrieve the Gu worm Yin Hongniang, although she ultimately failed.

Looking at the chaotic chessboard before her, the woman suddenly muttered something out of the blue:

"The process and the people involved are not important; what matters is the final result, even if it means sacrificing something."

"Ha!" she sneered. "What's the difference between this and a pre-written script? It's stagnant water, and the outcome is always the same."

…………

In the grass somewhere in the Azure Sky Mountains, Xiao Yu lay on his back on the ground, his pale face parted as he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Damn it, he successfully escaped from the Nascent Soul Realm.

This was an unprecedented feat. When he returned, Xiao Yu would definitely have to write it down in a notebook so that his descendants could admire his glorious achievement. He fought against a Nascent Soul cultivator while only being in the Core Formation stage, crossing two major realms. Not only did he survive, but he also crippled one of her arms.

The results are encouraging.

But what about the cost?

Points cleared.

Four Xuan Yue Xing Gang life-saving talismans, each worth 500 points, were destroyed in succession.

The Qiankun Escape Talisman was gone; it was used to escape at the last moment.

His body was severely injured. The Nascent Soul cultivator's methods were extremely unique. They were of the same origin as him and used the moonlight to imprison and damage his dantian and spiritual sea.

Although it was a difficult breakthrough in cultivation, I can't use it right now, but fortunately it is slowly recovering under the moonlight.

He's currently relying entirely on his martial arts prowess to stay afloat.

During this time, it must be said that the transfer of the Qiankun Escape Talisman was indeed random. Xiao Yu still held a sliver of hope when he used it, hoping that it could directly transfer him to a town near Xuanyun City.

Unfortunately, he was thrown directly into the interior of the Azure Sky Mountains. Luckily, he didn't fall into a group of monsters. Instead, he landed in a clump of grass, in a relatively hidden location with no signs of monster activity nearby.

Xiao Yu remained unconscious for two days before finally waking up.

My body was badly injured and I couldn't move for a while. With great effort, I could only barely lift one arm.

After several unsuccessful attempts to turn over, Xiao Yu temporarily gave up on the idea of ​​getting up and leaving the Azure Sky Mountains.

Let him rest here and recover. The thin moonlight is slowly healing his injuries, and it feels much better than ordinary elixirs.

In any case, there were no signs of monster activity during the two days he was unconscious, so this place should be quite safe.

However, this does give the impression of pretending to be a plant photosynthesizing.

As Xiao Yu thought to himself, he looked up at the night sky. The bright moon stood out from the crowd, hanging in the darkness. Against the backdrop of the surrounding stars, it appeared noble and holy, like an inviolable queen of the moon, making people dare not have any wild thoughts.

Xiao Yu blinked, wondering if it was just his imagination. Ever since his battle with that mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator, his connection with the bright moon in the sky had become stronger. He could blend into the surrounding environment with the moonlight and not be noticed by passing demonic beasts. He even felt that the bright moon in the sky had some kind of handsome features.

The moon... people can't... or at least shouldn't.

Just as Xiao Yu was gazing at the moon in a daze, suddenly, the bushes where he was hiding stirred, and a figure retreated in.

The soft dress fell away, the fabric piling up at the base of her plump, firm thighs, revealing two round, perky, and full buttocks that were whiter than the moon in the sky. They squeezed in and occupied most of Xiao Yu's field of vision.

Xiao Yu: ?

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, he managed to raise his hand and catch his buttocks before they could be pressed down, making a muffled sound:

"There's someone here."

A soft, delicate touch came from her palm, and as Xiao Yu's voice fell, her body trembled violently.

Subsequently.

"what!"

A surprised scream rang out, and the dress that had been taken off was quickly lifted up. In the midst of the chaos, Xiao Yu felt his head sink, and with a faint fragrance lingering, his vision went black and he fainted.

Chapter 47, Long Wanyan...??

Inside a cool cave somewhere in the Azure Sky Mountains.

His tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a murky aura, like the oppressive calm before a storm, wafted over, carrying a faint fragrance. Xiao Yu opened his eyes, and the solid stone wall came into view.
