"You and I had long ago agreed that as soon as I helped you once, we would have no further dealings—no conflicts, no obligations. Now, suddenly bringing this up, is it to pressure me?" the blue-robed woman asked, her tone grave. "It seems rather harsh to call it pressure. How could I possibly resort to such an unbecoming tactic against Lady Blue? My purpose this time is actually to gently remind you—Master Bao Hua has indeed returned to the Sacred Realm and has recently engaged in a fierce struggle with the old masters Tian Qi and He Yan." Six Ji said calmly. "Master Bao Hua has returned—this is truly confirmed! And she has fought so fiercely with Tian Qi and He Yan—does that mean she has regained her former strength?" Clearly, the woman embodied the essence of the Blue Flow Saint Patriarch, deeply respectful and wary of Master Bao Hua. Upon hearing this, her face instantly paled. "As for whether or not she has regained her strength, I cannot be certain." Yet this time, upon her return to the Sacred Realm, she not only grandly met Yuan Yan in the Magic Source Sea, but also severely injured the physical forms of both Yuan Yan and Tian Qi, the Crane of Heaven, before vanishing completely. However, after we personally questioned Tian Qi and Crane of Heaven, it seemed that Bao Hua, by harnessing the power of the Xuan Tian Flower Tree, had indeed cultivated the legendary Xuan Tian Ling Yu realm. The young woman paused thoughtfully before responding seriously. "Xuan Tian Ling Yu! Isn't that a grand ability only attainable by true immortals from the Upper Realm? How could Bao Hua possibly achieve it!" The blue-robed woman exclaimed, suddenly. "Indeed, when I first knew Bao Hua well, I had heard her speak of this. She once mentioned receiving a fragmented manuscript on the cultivation of the Xuan Tian Ling Yu realm, which, according to her, had occasionally been transmitted from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm since ancient times. At that time, she claimed to have some insights into this manuscript, and believed that with the support of the Xuan Tian Flower Tree, she might achieve notable progress." But I never expected the gains she mentioned to actually involve fully cultivating the Xuan Tian Ling Yu. Although according to Tian Qi's description, it was still at the lowest level, it was indeed a complete, intact Ling Yu. Six Ji sighed, and his tone grew notably serious. "No, if she truly recovered her spiritual power and fully cultivated the Xuan Tian Ling Yu, how could she have remained hidden? Given her temperament and current capabilities, she should have been able to openly march upon your abode and reclaim the Primordial Ancestral Seat without hesitation. Instead, she must have only partially restored her cultivation, and sustained serious injuries during her battle against Tian Qi and He Yan. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in this situation!" The Blue Pu Saint Ancestor also seemed deeply familiar with Bao Hua, and after a moment of shifting between varying expressions of concern, he concluded with confidence. "Ah, yes—my sister thinks the same. It aligns perfectly with my own expectations. Therefore, we should seize this opportunity and swiftly locate her, eliminating her completely." Otherwise, once the Flower of the Treasure truly regains her cultivation, Sister will also be unable to remain uninvolved. As for the good fortune I mentioned, it is no empty promise—once the Flower of the Treasure is extinguished, half of her treasures will belong to my sister, and I shall only ask for the Heavenly Blossom Tree and the secret technique for cultivating the Heavenly Realm. As I know, the Flower of the Treasure possesses numerous treasures that greatly aid in enduring the celestial trials; should Sister obtain these, she will have no difficulty passing the subsequent great heavens' trials. Finally, after a long silence, Six Extremes clearly stated the purpose of this journey. "Hmph! How generous of you! Since the Flower of the Treasure has not yet regained her cultivation, what need have you for involving me? With your six manifestations acting simultaneously, wouldn't you easily surround and eliminate her?" The blue-robed woman sneered, seemingly unmoved. "If I truly could accomplish this, I would not have come to involve Sister at all. You should know that our three primordial bodies are currently preoccupied with the matter of the demonic trial, and thus unable to send out their offshoots. Though I possess six manifestations, one of them A new incarnation is currently in seclusion, requiring at least a hundred years before becoming fully effective. Two others are currently overseeing military campaigns in the human realm and thus cannot make it. Of the remaining three, one is my reserve—she will never appear publicly under any circumstances. I also intend to retain one to guard my abode, and the last one has come to seek my assistance. Moreover, I've learned that the last place where the precious bloom was seen appears near the Blue Falls Lake. Among the surrounding regions, who else could compare with my sister in strength? As long as you mobilize your subordinates, locating the bloom will surely be a matter of time. "That's how the precious bloom explained. "Since you're unable to attend due to the great calamity, I truly cannot remain idle. As long as the bloom remains hidden within this region, I am certain I can find her." But besides the conditions already mentioned, I must also make a copy of the secret technique for cultivating the Xuan Tian Ling Yu. After quickly pondering over it, the blue-robed woman could no longer resist the allure of the everlasting security and numerous other advantages Six Ji had offered, and thus firmly stated. "Agreed, no problem. I'll follow your suggestion exactly." Six Ji was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately agreed without hesitation. "Since it's settled, I'll return and immediately summon my various incarnations, as well as activate the forces of my subordinates. By the way, this situation here seems rather strange—could it possibly be related to the Sacred Blossom?" The Blue Cascade Sage nodded, then suddenly glanced at the chaotic ground below, asking casually. "It's probably not. Although we arrived far away and found the battle already concluded, the lingering energy and the condition of the underground mine suggest that a great beast emerged from beneath and engaged in a struggle with some human beings." Yet something seemed odd. Based on the earlier fluctuations sensed, both should have been at the Consolidation stage, with only a slight difference in their levels. Yet how could this beast have been slain so swiftly? Did Sister notice anything upon her arrival? The young woman glanced at her with a quick flash of eyes, then casually extended her hand and gestured into the air. With a soft *whoosh*, a fragment of magnetic light from the beast broke through the soil and was gently captured in her hand. She then casually scanned it with her consciousness. "When I arrived, that person had already departed. Perhaps a powerful Consolidation-stage late-phase being happened to pass by and simply dealt with this creature on the spot. Recently, the blood-tooth rice is in harvest season, and several powerful magistrates regularly visit Blue Falls City—this is quite natural." The woman paused briefly before responding. "Indeed, that seems plausible." When it comes to Xueya Rice, although Sister officially limits its supply to ordinary magical beings, she secretly instructs her subordinates to sell large quantities to other factions in order to secure an enormous array of resources. Such a strategy is truly masterful. "I can't help but agree," the young woman chuckled. "On one hand, Xueya Rice is indeed produced in limited quantities and cannot meet everyone's demands. On the other hand, I don't wish to offend the various powerful factions too often—this is the only way I can manage to maintain stability within Blue Cascade Lake." The blue-robed woman listened without showing any concern. "Sister's approach is indeed wise. Otherwise, if only the publicly available amount of Xueya Rice were distributed, even without the elders' direct complaints, their growing dissatisfaction would surely deepen over time. Now that there are channels to secretly acquire sufficient supplies, they will naturally have little to complain about." By the way, I have two disciples who also need some Blood Teeth to strengthen their physical bodies. Why don't you sell me a batch as well, Sister? The young woman's eyes twinkled slightly as she smiled lightly. "Since you've asked, I'll send you a few right away." The blue-robed woman waved her hand, speaking with exceptional generosity. "Thank you so much, Sister. Now we'll proceed separately. This time, I'm also bringing a group of capable subordinates who will be waiting near by for my instructions." Upon hearing this, Six-Ji was delighted and quickly replied. "Very well, then I'll return to Blue Cascade City." The blue-robed woman showed no hesitation, simply adding a quiet remark. Then, a flash of light emanated from her body, and she swiftly dissolved into a streak of blue light, moving off. A short while later, the only one remaining at the spot was the young woman alone. After witnessing the final vanishing of the blue light orb at the horizon, the Six-Realm Embodiment's previously warm expression faded, leaving her expression neutral. Her gaze swept coldly over the crystal in her hands, her brows slightly furrowed—as though she had perceived something, yet still uncertain about what to decide. However, within only a few breaths, she suddenly let out a sharp laugh, rubbing her hands together and instantly transforming the crystal into a fine powder. To herself, she murmured, "The Great Yin-Yang Five-Element True Light has finally manifested. If I hadn't had more pressing matters, this person who has claimed the True Light would not have left so easily. Now, perhaps it's best to simply do less and face fewer complications." As she spoke, she stomped her foot, and at once, a golden aura surged beneath her, carrying her swiftly back to the golden vessel. Then, shortly thereafter, countless runes surged forth from the surface of this treasure, gently trembling before the golden ship transformed into a streak of golden light and shot off in a different direction. At the same time, Han Li was already on his way back to Blue Cascade City, constantly handling the first green stone he had obtained, a gentle smile playing on his face. To be safe, he did not return along the original path, but deliberately took a wide detour, intending to reach the city from a different route. After handling it for a while, Han Li gave a slight flick of his wrist, and a flash of luminous energy passed through his hand—instantly, the green stone vanished. In its place, a black-and-white mineral now rested in his hand—the rare Yiji Gold. Seeing this, the smile on his face grew even more radiant. This rare magical gold was extracted by the green ape automaton during the mining operation. Not only did its quantity match or exceed that collected from the Youwu faction, but a significant portion—nearly half—of the gold contained crystalline inclusions, a particularly special variety. After carefully inspecting all the magical gold with his divine awareness, Han Li's excitement was beyond measure. With such a large amount of this special crystalline magical gold, as long as he could purify and transmute the earth-shaodan yin qi within it, he would be able to advance his cultivation to near the peak of the late Consolidation stage—saving him thousands, if not even tens of thousands, of years of arduous practice.
