Chapter 254: Picked Up a Virgin Saint of the Heavenly Gu Clan
Zhou Tong hurriedly sought advice.
He had made a bet with the Earth’s Veins, needing to break through to Semi-Sage within a month.
Now encountering obstacles in his cultivation left him somewhat distressed.
“You must absorb a special Power of Belief!”
Ancestral Master said with a smile, pointing out the mystery.
“Is there a distinction in the Power of Belief?”
Zhou Tong felt puzzled; during his previous cultivation, he had never paid attention to such a question.
“Of course. The more special the belief, the faster it can help you break through your realm.”
Ancestral Master recounted: “Based on my experience, the simplest method is to accept apprentices!
“Accept apprentices?”
Zhou Tong became even more perplexed, feeling that the other party was a bit unreliable.
“Exactly! It’s best to recruit those who are poor and in dire straits; if they have deep enmity as well, that’s even better. If you can help them grow…”
“Wait… I understand!”
Zhou Tong finally had an epiphany. Providing timely assistance in someone’s time of need is a tremendous kindness, and it’s also a great merit.
Moreover, due to the constraints of the master-apprentice relationship, the Power of Belief gained would undoubtedly be the strongest.
“A teachable child.”
Ancestral Master nodded with satisfaction, impressed by Zhou Tong’s comprehension.
“Time is running out. This space won’t exist for much longer; I must leave.”
Ancestral Master said reluctantly: “I’m really happy to have seen you.”
“Wait a moment!”
Zhou Tong’s Spiritual Power suddenly shook, temporarily stabilizing the space.
“Disciple still has one matter to ask Ancestral Master.”
In a moment, Zhou Tong told Ancestral Master of the nebula mass in Mu Ran Ya’s abdomen.
The other party was first taken aback, then showed an expression of disbelief, quickly turning into wild joy!
“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, this is actually true!”
Ancestral Master suddenly became incoherent as the fluctuations in Spiritual Power caused the space to teeter on the brink of collapse once again.
“We can’t explain this here. You two finish your business quickly and come see me in Central Continent!”
As soon as the words fell, the space completely collapsed, and Zhou Tong and Mu Ran Ya returned to reality.
“Based on Ancestral Master’s reaction, this doesn’t seem like bad news.”
Zhou Tong said with a smile.
“Of course!”
Mu Ran Ya caressed her abdomen, a happy expression spreading across her face.
…
“Holy Maiden, you shouldn’t run anymore. Wouldn’t it be better to obediently serve the Demonic Race?”
Under the azure sky, two figures engaged in a chase.
Running ahead was a girl dressed in a green skirt, while behind her chased a youth with a menacing expression.
Both of them belonged to the Heavenly Gu Clan, with the latter covered in a trace of Demonic Energy.
“Zhong Teng, I am the Virgin Saint of the Heavenly Gu Clan! Do you dare to lay a hand on me? Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
The girl said bitterly, her breath extremely chaotic, clearly heavily injured, already at her last gasp.
“Hahaha… What nonsense Virgin Saint? The Heavenly Gu Clan has been exterminated; only the three of us, you and the Saint Son, remain. What’s the use of your posturing here?”
At this, the girl’s eyes dimmed, and blood tears quietly fell.
“Since that’s the case, the three of us should join forces to eliminate the Four Heavenly Kings and take revenge for our entire race, rather than becoming his lackeys like you.”
“Hmph… You can say that, but do you have that strength? A wise bird chooses a tree to perch on; those who understand the times are champions. Even the Saint Son has yielded; why do you resist?”
“Hmph… Such cowardice! Even if I die, I won’t become the lackey of my enemies!”
“Then go and die!”
Zhong Teng roared in anger, burning his blood energy to unleash a strike comparable to the Fivefold Realm of Reincarnation!
“Not good!”
The Virgin Saint of the Heavenly Gu Clan turned pale, her eyes filled with despair and reluctance.
In her peak, she was a Semi-Sage warrior, no less than that Saint Son, and would not have regarded Zhong Teng as a threat at all.
But just days ago, the Heavenly Gu Clan had suffered a calamity, exterminated by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demonic Race!
She was heavily injured, causing her realm to fall; ultimately, she escaped death thanks to the Life Revival Venom.
For days she had fled, from the Central Continent all the way to the Eastern Continent, enduring countless battles and finally reaching a state of utter exhaustion.
“Is this the end?”
The Virgin Saint of the Heavenly Gu Clan swayed, faced with the lethal strike; she didn’t even have the energy to dodge, with only endless darkness surging toward her.
“Grandfather Family Head, brothers and sisters… I’m sorry, I can’t take revenge for you anymore…”
She murmured, her body continually falling, and just before completely losing consciousness, it felt as if she had been gently caught by a soft force.
“Is it an illusion… or is Grandfather Family Head here to take me?”
With that last thought, she finally lost awareness.
“Saint Ground, no trespassing!”
A child suddenly appeared, protecting the Virgin Saint and blocking Zhong Teng’s path, casually dissipating his attack.
“Who are you?”
Zhong Teng’s expression changed drastically, having completely failed to notice when the other had shown up.
“You don’t need to know. Leave quickly; you’re not welcome here.”
Jiu Hua said coldly.
“Hand over that woman, and I’ll leave at once!”
Zhong Teng restrained his anger and said.
“Did you not hear me when I said leave? What are you, daring to negotiate with me!”
“You…”
Zhong Teng erupted in fury, pointing at Jiu Hua threateningly: “Kid, I advise you not to overreach. I am fulfilling the orders of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demonic Race specifically to hunt this woman! If you obstruct me, bear the consequences!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Spiritual Energy in heaven and earth immediately fell into a state of riot, an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended, crushing Zhong Teng’s bones to powder.
“Ahhh… You, you are a Sage! Please spare me, I’ll leave right now!”
Zhong Teng was so frightened that he lost his wits, behaving obediently like a quail.
“You Demonic Race’s lackey, do you think you can still escape?”
“Don’t!”
Jiu Hua reached out and crushed him to pieces, leaving not even a soul behind.
…
In the Joyful Union Sect, Zhou Tong and the others looked at the unconscious girl, exchanging glances.
“Who would have thought that the Heavenly Gu Clan was actually exterminated by the Demonic Race? They truly deserve it.”
Zhou Tong felt no sympathy; the Heavenly Gu Clan was bloodthirsty and brutal, especially fond of harming ordinary people without cultivation, and had even betrayed the Human Race—a true cancer.
“Let’s not discuss that right now. Don’t you need an apprentice? She’s poor, in dire straits, and has deep enmity—all perfectly fitting!”
Mu Ran Ya said from the side.
“I won’t accept her as my disciple.”
Zhou Tong shook his head: “I find her disgusting!”
As soon as he said this, a wave of coldness swept over.
It turned out that the girl on the ground had already woken up, and she bitterly said: “Don’t flatter yourself; with your kind of weakness, you aren’t even qualified to be my master!”
