Slowly Ascending to Immortality (Spirit Realm) Seventy-One, Transforming into Human Form

  However, since the two had sworn an oath to each other that they would not interfere with each other's affairs, they naturally had to abide by their promise. Besides, although the three of them were on a mission together, it didn't mean they were particularly close.

  Cheng Ze's eyes gazed deeply at Xiao Yao, who was calm and composed, especially the yellow jade symbol on her body. He could confirm that this woman had hidden her true strength, and its extent far exceeded what was shown on the jade symbol. Moreover, she seemed to have a high-level defensive or attacking treasure hidden on her person, otherwise it would be impossible for her to knock away Xiao Yan's magic treasure with just one punch! If he were to fight against her himself, he wouldn't know how much chance of winning he had.

  Thinking of this, Cheng Ze clenched his fists tightly, but his face remained calm as he watched Xiao Yan walk step by step towards defeat.

  Beside him, a man with the surname Sun furrowed his brow and asked: "Brother Cheng, what's your take on this?"

  Cheng Zetan said, "This girl's strength is above Wu Daoyou's. It seems that Wu Daoyou won't last long. You and I had a vow before, not to interfere in the two of them fighting, but if this girl kills him mercilessly later on, we'll still have to speak up to dissuade her. This doesn't go against our vow."

  Sun nodded, "However, I think this woman won't be ruthless enough to kill, if she really had the intention to kill, Wu would have been unable to withstand it by now. For now, she's just patiently exchanging blows, probably just trying to establish her authority, not just for Wu's sake, but also for us two and even the suspicious cultivators in this valley to see clearly." In his heart, he had already made a judgment, but still needed to unify his tone with Cheng Ze.

  "I think the same as Sun Daoyou," said Cheng Zedao, "but it's not until the final result that we can't be careless. Who knows if she will change her mind during this period!"

  As the two had guessed, Xiao Yao did not intend to take the life of Little Eye Man Shu. After all, Liu Li Fei had treated her well and she was unwilling to cause trouble in the White Jade Pavilion, but the lesson that needed to be taught still had to be given!

  With a deep breath, Xiao Yao's yuan force was released once again, increasing in intensity. The endless stream of yuan qi flowed from his dantian throughout his body and finally converged on his palms, pouring out in torrents!

  The "Wàn Mù Kū Róng" of Xiao Yan's repair had already been saturated and could no longer absorb the elemental force of Xiao Yao. He could only watch helplessly as Lei Ping constantly approached him, his mind even becoming somewhat disordered, and his control over the Green Hammer also became somewhat unstable, being suppressed by the evil spirits!

  Just as he was about to be counterattacked, Xiao Yan's courage waned and he no longer dared to resist. He hastily withdrew his Yuan force and took out a dark green bronze mirror, holding it up in front of him.

  Xiao Yao gazed at the copper mirror, as if it were a defensive treasure. Her hands changed gestures, and five thunderballs burst out from her palm in an irregular manner towards Xiao Yan's attack! Just as the thunderballs were about to hit Xiao Yan, a green light suddenly shot out from the copper mirror, and the thunderballs that were illuminated by the green light suddenly changed direction, reflecting back towards Xiao Yao!

  But just as Xiao Yao dodged a few times, the five thunderballs instantly crashed into the mountain wall below, instantly exploding into clusters of gray clouds.

  She gazed at the green bronze mirror, only surprised for a moment, before raising the corner of her lips and smiling: "White Silver Rank defensive artifact? It seems that Daoist friend has quite a few good items!"

  From the very beginning, Xiao Yan's intention was to snatch the spiritual pet and teach the other party a lesson. After all, this woman had never been recognized in the Benyuan, and no one would take her side, so there was no thought of taking her life. Moreover, Xiaoyao was a refining master favored by Luliu, and there were two onlookers present, making it difficult to kill someone without consequences. However, his calculations had not anticipated that this woman was actually a ruthless character who had been hiding her cultivation all along, forcing him to take out his last resort. This white silver-grade artifact, regardless of its grade, was an excellent artifact coveted by cultivators below the Void stage. If it weren't for the critical situation, he wouldn't have exposed it to anyone's eyes, after all, with his current Houtian cultivation, having such an artifact would easily attract envy and provoke others to kill him for treasure!

  At once, Xiao Yan's face turned pale and he hastily clutched the copper mirror tightly to his chest.

  Xiao Yao looked at him with amusement, thinking that everyone would be like him and rush to grab the treasure? In an instant, a pair of huge purple wings unfolded behind him, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived beside Xiaoyan's body. Before he could react, Xiao Yao struck his neck with a swift hand chop, the speed was so fast that Xiaoyan didn't even have time to react, and Cheng Ze and the others couldn't make a sound either.

  This time, she only used 50% of her strength, but it was more than enough to severely injure a cultivator. No matter if they had spiritual shields or armor, most would be unable to withstand the force!

  Finally, Xiao Yan's eyes rolled back and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, then fainted, but before losing consciousness, he quickly put the copper mirror into his storage ring.

  Xiao Yao let out a snort of laughter, and then kicked the male cultivator's body again. This time, however, her kick was directed at Cheng Ze and his companion. "This Daoist friend has fainted from exhaustion," she said. "Would you two mind sending him back?"

  Cheng Ze swung his long sleeve, drawing an arc in the air. A leaf-shaped flying artifact materialized and steadily supported the unconscious Xiao Yan.

  Now that Xiao Yan has been defeated, the strength of this female cultivator is also clear in both of their minds. Cheng Ze didn't stay for long and only said: "We were rude, we'll take our leave."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped onto his flying sword and together with Sun Ming, they drew two long rainbows in the air and disappeared into the horizon.

  Xiao Yao looked in the direction of the two leaving, believing that after this incident, no one would come to find her at Bai Yu Bie Yuan again.

  After sending away the idle people, she dived towards the place where Xiaolong fell, her anxious eyes finally no longer hidden. Although she knew that Xiaolong was still alive, she didn't know if he had already refined into human form.

  As she approached the ground, the first thing that caught her eye was a patch of gravel. At the center of what used to be the Heavenly Authority, she saw a man with an androgynous face sitting cross-legged on top of broken rocks. He had a slender build, skin as white as snow, crystal clear and delicate to the extreme. She had never seen such perfect skin on any woman before, truly deserving of the description "ice skin and jade bones". Unfortunately, when her gaze moved up further, what she saw was a familiar hawk head, with silver-white feathers and a red beak.

  After all, Xiao Xun had only just entered the pseudo-humanoid phase and could only transform into a half-human state, unable to truly cultivate a human form. All demon beasts were like this, so Xiao Yao was no longer surprised.

  As she approached, Xiao Hui slowly opened her eyes, which were filled with fatigue. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiang Yao holding a set of men's Taoist robes and tossing them at him, saying: "Put these on first."

  Xiao Lie put on his clothes, then knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Yao, and said with utmost sincerity: "Thank you, Master, for saving my life." Although he was very weak after being tempered, he was still conscious and knew that the master had been patiently waiting by his side all along, driving away many people with ulterior motives. Along the way, it could be said that without the master's help in finding the materials needed for cultivation and taking care of him with all his heart, there would not be today's Xiao Lie.

  The peregrine falcon remembers its hatred and grudges, but also equally remembers kindness!

  No matter what kind of demon beast, once it reaches the stage of pseudo-human transformation, it can be said that it has become a demon cultivator.

  The sound of the little falcon is very clear and sounds like a spring bubbling, refreshing the lungs.

  Xiao Yao saw that he was indeed unharmed and smiled in relief: "Get up, you've suffered enough for this calamity. From now on, just rest well."

  In an instant, a misty look appeared in Xiao Lü's eyes, and before she could make a sound, someone stood up and leaned towards her, placing the bird's head on her shoulder, softly calling out to her with a voice full of uncontainable grievance.

  "Master..."

  Don't look at Xiao Yun, who seems like a young boy. Standing up, he's also half a head taller than Xiao Yao. Putting his head on her shoulder and rubbing it is quite ridiculous. Xiao Yao was speechless, thinking to herself: Is this guy also someone who loves to act cute?!

  Before she could finish her sentimental words, Xiao Yun's second half of the sentence had already come out.

  "Can you stop pulling out my hair and letting me bleed from now on..."

  The author has something to say: I got back a bit late today, so I'll keep it brief. But I still managed to put out some good stuff for you guys. Speaking of which, this guy is actually a bit of an idiot too. Also, I saw someone questioning the appearance of Zi Dong's shoes, and although I don't want to burst your pink bubble, I have to clarify: he really didn't disguise himself, he just has a very ordinary face.

  PS: To be honest, starting from April, I've indeed been busier than last year, and with a slower speed, I've only written 200,000 words so far. The high tide part of the Spirit Realm hasn't even started yet, and the framework is also larger than the Mortal Realm, which is another problem. The initial work needs to be done well, and this process will inevitably be slow. If I had to say where the truly exciting part of the Spirit Realm starts, it would probably be after Xiao Yao leaves Mei Shan Floating Island. And let me add that while my speed may be slow, I won't abandon the story, but it might be a bit torturous for everyone. If you can't bear it, you can always put the novel on hold for now.
