Investiture of the Gods: Childhood Sweetheart Daji, Starting with Quasi-Saint Cultivation

Just then—

"Buzz..."

At Bixiao's waist, a jade pendant of emerald green suddenly emitted a soft hum and shimmered with a gentle light.

Bixiao exclaimed "Ah!" and picked up the jade pendant:

"It's a message from my eldest sister!"

She focused her spiritual sense into the jade pendant, and after a moment, her expression became somewhat strange, and she also felt a little guilty.

"What's wrong?" Su Yunbai asked.

"My older sister asked me if I'd had enough fun and it was time to go home."

"He also said... that my elder brother seemed to have sensed something. He was restless a few days ago, and when he was calculating the secrets of heaven, he seemed to have figured it out to be related to me. He told me to return to the island as soon as possible."

She looked at Su Yunbai, her eyes filled with hesitation, "Fellow Daoist Yunbai, should I...should I go back?"

Su Yunbai felt a chill run down his spine.

Did Zhao Gongming notice?

As expected of the eldest outer disciple of the Jie Sect, his spiritual perception is truly remarkable.

However, this also shows that Bixiao's escape and the interactions she had with him have begun to disrupt some established causal lines.

We can't let Bixiao go back like this.

At the very least, we can't go back without any "results".

"Fellow Daoist Gongming is highly skilled and has keen spiritual senses, so it is only natural that he would notice something unusual."

"However, now that the fairy has come out, if she were to rush back now, she would probably still have something on her mind, which would not be beneficial to her cultivation."

He looked at Bixiao: "Fairy, have you ever considered why you suddenly had the urge to leave the Three Immortal Islands?"

Bixiao paused for a moment, then said, "It's just... I feel so bored."

"Perhaps more than that."

"Perhaps it's a glimmer of inspiration that guides you through certain experiences, helping you resolve that calamity, or... to find some kind of opportunity."

He spoke earnestly: "How about this, Fairy, stay a few more days. I can accompany you to explore some interesting or spiritual places nearby, and perhaps we can gain something from them. When you return to the island, you can give Fairy Yunxiao and Fellow Daoist Gongming an explanation, proving that this trip was not just for fun, but that you have truly gained some insights."

He paused, then added, "Of course, the fairy can send a message back first to let them know she's safe and sound, and explain the situation, so they won't worry too much."

Bixiao's eyes lit up.

That's a great idea!

It seems to make sense that we can have more days of fun!

I went back and told my older sister that I was "experiencing the world and seeking a way to resolve my calamities!"

My older sister probably won't scold me too harshly, right?

"Fellow Daoist Yunbai, you are right!"

"Then I'll send a message to my eldest sister right away!"

She immediately started muttering to herself while looking at the jade pendant, a sly smile on her face.

Su Yunbai looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

well.

After Bixiao finished sending the message, she put the jade pendant back into her waistband, a hint of smugness on her face.

"I told my elder sister that I had met a master who instructed me on how to resolve the calamities of the mortal world, and that I needed to stay away for a few more days."

My older sister told me to be careful and go home early.

"Now we can play for a few more days!"

Su Yunbai smiled and nodded: "That's excellent."

He was making quick calculations in his mind.

Bixiao's willingness to stay is an opportunity.

However, simply playing the game has slowed down the increase in favorability.

More significant events are needed to drive the relationship forward.

Calculating the future? Revealing the secrets of heaven?

That's one way to do it.

Bixiao was concerned about her own tribulations, but also about her two older sisters.

If only she could "see" some vague visions of the future!

The fate of the Three Immortals, in particular, will undoubtedly have a huge impact on her.

But heavenly secrets should not be revealed lightly.

Especially concerning the outcome of the game involving important figures of the Jie Sect, and even sages.

To say it directly would inevitably invite a backlash from Heaven, and might even immediately alarm certain beings.

However... he has a system.

Perhaps we can use the power of the system to "simulate" prying into the secrets of heaven in a way that "damages our source and incurs a price"?

"system,"

"Is there a way for me to show Bixiao some vague information about the future of the Three Immortals in a way that seems like 'sacrificing my essence and peeking into the secrets of heaven'? I can't say it directly; I have to let her 'see' or 'sense' it herself."

[Ding! The host's idea is feasible.]

[Option 1: Exchange for a 'Fragment of the Broken Causal Mirror (One-Time Use)', which can reflect future fragments related to the target person, but the information is extremely blurry and incomplete. The mirror shatters upon use, and the host must cooperate by acting out a 'backlash' effect. Requires: 8000 Intimacy Points.]

[Option Two: Consume the host's own 'Law of Emotion' source power, combined with system assistance, to construct a 'Tribulation of Emotion Illusion,' combining the target's subconscious anxieties about the future with fragments of real celestial secrets to create a powerful illusion. This method requires no additional exchange, but requires precise control by the host, and the host must exhibit severe weakness afterward.]

[System recommends Option Two: more realistic, more immersive, and cheaper.]

Su Yunbai's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the words "save money".

But the system is right, Option 2 does indeed better meet his needs and seems more realistic.

"Then let's go with option two. How do you need my cooperation?"

[Ding! In your upcoming conversation with Bixiao, please steer the conversation towards the 'future' and 'calamity,' and suggest at the appropriate time that 'we can try to use a secret method to glimpse the secrets of heaven for her, but there will be a price to pay.']

Once Bixiao agrees, the host needs to touch her (e.g., hold her hand). At the same time, the system will assist the host in activating the source of the Law of Emotion to construct an illusion.

[The content of the illusion will be based on the original ending of the Three Immortals of Sanxiao as known to the host, but will be blurred and metaphorically interpreted to avoid directly revealing key heavenly secrets.]

[After the illusion ends, the host must immediately exhibit symptoms such as damage to their fundamental nature, soul tremors, and reversed qi and blood flow; the more severe the better (but it must not damage their core).]

The system will simultaneously provide a "Realistic Blood-Spitting Effect Pack" (free) and a "Weak Breath Simulation" service.

"...Okay." Su Yunbai agreed.

Acting is fine, but it's a tragic drama. I'll give it my all for 98 points and 50,000 intimacy points!

He adjusted his breathing and expression, revealing a suitable air of seriousness and contemplation on his face.

"The Fairy of the Azure Clouds,"

"You asked before whether this trip was a calamity or a blessing."

Bixiao turned to look at him: "Hmm?"

"I just observed your aura, which is intertwined with the mortal world of Jizhou. That trace of calamity seems to have... undergone a slight change."

Su Yunbai said seriously, "It's hard to say whether it's clearer or more complicated."

Bixiao tensed up: "Will it get better or worse?"

"It's hard to say." Su Yunbai shook his head. "The calamity is like a fog, ever-changing and unpredictable. However... perhaps I can try to glimpse a sliver of the secret for you."

Bixiao's eyes lit up: "Really? You can see the future?"

"cannot."

"The future is full of uncertainties, and no one can truly see through it."

"I can only use my own path to touch the river of cause and effect, and sense some fragments of 'calamities' or 'karmic connections' that are most likely related to you. Moreover..."

He revealed just the right amount of hesitation and difficulty: "This method requires me to consume my own source power, and since it involves peeking into the secrets of heaven, it will inevitably backfire. At best, it will severely damage my vital energy; at worst... it will damage my foundation of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Bi Xiao's excitement was immediately replaced by worry: "Then...then let's forget it! Fellow Daoist Yun Bai, don't take the risk!"
