Chapter 10: The Mad Woman
As she entered Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion, Qi Qingsi paused her steps.
Her whole magic power and even her divine sense were uncontrollable. It appeared Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion had a terrifying mechanism: entering it turned one into a mortal.
There was another possibility: this was a show of force from the master of Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion.
Qi Hongchou had informed her about this, so Qi Qingsi was already prepared. Even with her strength sealed, she remained entirely calm and free of any nervousness.
\"Daoist friend Qi, it’s a pleasure to meet you.\"
Ye Xu looked at the two and made an inviting gesture, stating: \"First, have a cup of hot tea.\"
\"Master!\"
Ye Xian\’er rushed over joyfully toward Qi Qingsi and Qi Hongchou. She intimately took hold of Qi Qingsi\’s wrist.
\"Xian\’er, during this time, you didn\’t cause any trouble for the Master, did you?\"
Qi Qingsi affectionately rubbed Ye Xian\’er\’s head and showed a faint smile.
Qi Hongchou felt a wave of envy.
Even to herself, Qi Qingsi rarely ever smiled; only when she was with Ye Xian\’er did she occasionally reveal a smile.
It truly showed deep affection across generations.
\"No.\"
Ye Xian\’er lightly shook her head and activated her cultivation, like a child proudly seeking approval. \"Master, I’ve already reached the late stage of the Divine Spring Realm.\"
\"You’re better than I was in my day,\" Qi Qingsi said with a laugh.
\"Master, over this period, I troubled you to look after Xian\’er. I thank you on her behalf, Senior.\"
Qi Qingsi gave Ye Xu a respectful fist salute with no expression on her face. \"I heard that because of the Master’s guidance, my disciple was able to obtain the Nine-Grade Golden Lotus. The Master also killed Du Jue and ensured Hongchou could depart safely.\"
\"This second-tier divine weapon is my token of appreciation. Thank you for your kindness, Master.\"
Qi Qingsi focused her thoughts—a dim glow shot out from her Purple Palace.
Her face shifted slightly.
Upon entering Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion, all her magic power had been bound, yet when she took out this second-tier divine weapon, there was no obstruction whatsoever.
This proved one thing beyond doubt: everything she did or thought was entirely under Ye Xu\’s control.
\"The master of Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion is indeed remarkable,\" Qi Qingsi thought inwardly.
In Ye Xu\’s sea of consciousness, a panel materialized.
Name: Qi Qingsi.
Cultivation: Divine Catastrophe stage, perfected.
Affiliation: Third Elder of Tianxin Sect.
Techniques: Supreme Forgetting Emotions path fragment, derived from Xuan Du Forgetting Emotions Heaven Book.
Divine Abilities: Heaven-Overturning Seal, Supreme Heartless Seal, Star-Grasping Hand, Great Destructive Sword Energy, God-Magic Scatter Hand.
Wish: To kill the Tianxin Sect Master, the two Supreme Elders of Tianxin Sect, and Qin Haishan, to avenge and repay the hatred…
In the span of several breaths, every moment of Qi Qingsi\’s past flashed through Ye Xu\’s mind.
\"What an insane woman…\"
\"Pitiable, miserable, lamentable…\"
Ye Xu sighed.
From being exceptionally gifted and brimming with ambition, to the destruction of her family—Qi Qingsi\’s life had endured betrayal, scheming, and ultimately complete emotional detachment.
Even Ye Xu couldn’t deny that her life had been brutally tragic.
The root of all this suffering traced back to figures like the Tianxin Sect Master.
No wonder her deepest desire was to slay the Tianxin Sect Master and his ilk.
Qi Qingsi’s delicate brows knitted slightly.
Before Ye Xu, she felt as if she were being seen through, every part of her exposed.
That sensation filled her with dread and unease.
\"Master,\" Qi Qingsi spoke, activating her spiritual power as a flash of dark light surged toward him, \"please accept this token of gratitude.\"
Ye Xu caught it with an open hand.
This second-tier divine weapon was a demonic blade adorned with numerous eyes—all tightly shut. But when those magic eyes opened, bloodshed was certain.
\"Convert it into heavenly secrets points.\"
Without hesitation, Ye Xu accepted it for conversion.
Ding!
[Congratulations, Host: Acquired 380 heavenly secrets points.]
\"You are too generous, Daoist friend.\"
Joy blossomed in Ye Xu’s heart: nearly 400 heavenly secrets points earned for doing nothing—he wished such favors happened daily.
\"Merely appropriate,\" Qi Qingsi replied lightly. Then, turning to Qi Hongchou and Ye Xian’er, she said, \"Let us go.\"
Ye Xu remained impassive.
He saw through her clearly: she genuinely wouldn’t ask him questions nor engage in trades.
This woman was far too proud and stubborn to seek favors.
Qi Hongchou’s expression changed dramatically.
The master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion could divine all heavenly mysteries—how could her master pass up the chance to ask what she needed?
Had their journey been in vain?
But Qi Qingsi clearly had no intention of changing her mind.
\"Master!\" Ye Xian’er cried out urgently. \"Qin Haishan is about to ascend to godhood!\"
Shua!
Suddenly, Qi Qingsi stopped abruptly, turned fiercely, and stared at Ye Xian\’er with a murderous aura. \"Qin Haishan? He\’s utterly foolish. How could he possibly become a god with just that?\"
\"It was the Master.\"
Ye Xian\’er felt intimidated by Qi Qingsi\’s gaze; she had never seen such a terrifying Qi Qingsi before.
Qi Qingsi frowned deeply, her brows knitting together tightly.
\"Qin Haishan pursued to Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion, originally aiming to deal with the Master…\"
Ye Xian\’er laid out all the details completely, revealing everything from beginning to end.
The frown on Qi Qingsi\’s face tightened more and more.
Was it the master of Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion who had instructed Qin Haishan on the method to become a god?
Ye Xian\’er anxiously spoke, \"Master, the Master knows all. If you can produce something satisfying to him, he can deduce the key to godhood, and you can become one.\" She feared Qi Qingsi might miss this great opportunity.
Qi Qingsi was moved.
She had absolutely no doubt about Ye Xian\’er\’s words.
Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion was mysterious everywhere; Ye Xian\’er had only stayed for a few days and broke through a major cultivation realm. The master of Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion could not be an ordinary person.
She and Qi Hongchou thought alike.
Ye Xu was most likely a reclusive sage.
Ye Xu opened his mouth, saying lightly, \"Heaven\’s Secret Pavilion sells any information. As long as you afford the price, my pavilion can provide the message.\" He stirred Qi Qingsi\’s desire.
Being emotionless and without feelings didn\’t mean she lacked the thirst to grow stronger.
Moreover, Qi Qingsi harbored deep hatred; only by getting stronger could she take revenge.
Indeed.
After Ye Xu\’s words, Qi Qingsi\’s eyes immediately turned toward him.
\"Can the Master also offer me a way to become a god?\" Qi Qingsi asked solemnly.
Ye Xu said lightly, \"Daoist friend, the techniques you cultivate, the Supreme Forgetting Emotions chapter, originated from the Xuan Du Forgetting Emotions Heaven Book. This mystical art could rank among the top if placed in all realms.\"
\"It\’s not impossible for me to guide you.\"
\"But the price, Daoist friend, I\’m afraid you can\’t afford it.\"
Ye Xu was uttering nonsense in a dead-serious tone.
What did he actually know about the Xuan Du Forgetting Emotions Heaven Book?
Yet, maintaining his lofty persona was essential.
Swish!
Qi Qingsi\’s pupils shrank abruptly.
The Supreme Forgetting Emotions chapter she practiced was the highest secret of the Tianxin Sect, known only to the Tianxin Sect Master and two Supreme Elders.
But Ye Xu had directly exposed it—it was truly unthinkable.
Furthermore, even Qi Qingsi herself only sensed a flaw in her cultivation techniques, unsure if it was fragmented, and unaware that the Supreme Forgetting Emotions chapter was derived from the Xuan Du Forgetting Emotions Heaven Book.
As for the Xuan Du Forgetting Emotions Heaven Book, she had never even heard of it.
Just by this single point, the remaining doubt within Qi Qingsi\’s heart vanished without a trace.
\"Then may I ask, Master,\" Qi Qingsi set aside her pride and inquired sincerely, \"how might I attain godhood?\"
Her expression, however, remained icy cold.
The Supreme Forgetting Emotions chapter had altered her temperament; she could never return to how she was before.
\"Girl,\" Ye Xu said, \"Tell your Master the rules here.\"
Ye Xian\’er immediately explained, \"Master, when dealing with the senior, payment must be made before receiving information.\"
\"No problem.\"
Qi Qingsi produced a whole array of second-tier divine weapons and bottles of pills all at once.
Numerous second-tier divine weapons and godly pills floated in mid-air.
This was because the small table couldn\’t hold them all.
With a single sweeping glance, Ye Xu counted eighteen second-tier divine weapons and sixteen bottles of pills.
\"System, calculate how many heavenly secrets points these can be exchanged for,\" Ye Xu thought internally.
Ding!
[They can be exchanged for a total of eight thousand heavenly secrets points.]
\"Tsk…\"
Ye Xu laughed maniacally in his heart.
Eight thousand heavenly secrets points! He struck rich this time.
He hadn\’t expected that Qi Qingsi and Qin Haishan, both Elders of the Tianxin Sect, would possess fortunes differing by tenfold.
After all, Qi Qingsi had deeper reserves.
Ye Xu wasn\’t one to take advantage of others in distress; the items Qi Qingsi offered were likely far more than sufficient already.
\"System, query how many places exist that could help Qi Qingsi attain godhood.\"
Ding!
A gentle chime sounded.
Ye Xu was dumbfounded.
Kunlun Valley? Again?
