Chapter 21: Invite White Emperor Bai Lian! (3)
Bai Lian said firmly, “Now you can teach my younger Martial Sister your cultivation method.”
Hurry up!
The ember shook its head. “No way.”
What’s your problem? Damn it.
Bai Lian felt the urge to curse.
The ember explained, “In my current state, I can only teach one person. Once I complete the inheritance, I will dissipate. To leave as much of my legacy as possible, I must choose the one with the stronger soul.”
“…”
Why does everything have to be so complicated?
In a daze, Bai Lian noticed new task options appearing before her:
[Task 1: Insist on making the fifth Martial Sister accept the inheritance. (Reward: a top-grade Spirit Tool – Phoenix Dance Manual)]
[Task 2: Accept the ember’s inheritance. (Reward: Soft Skill +9)]
[Task 3: “We don’t need your inheritance!” Turn around and leave. (Reward: Hard Skill +8)]
This isn’t right!
Bai Lian’s eyes lingered on Task 3.
Normally, Task 3 would offer only Hard Skill +1 as a reward—not Hard Skill +8.
The system seemed to be warning her that something was amiss with the ember!
She glanced at Task 1 again.
Wow, a top-grade Spirit Tool!
For context, only cultivators at the middle stage of the Transcendency Stage could fully wield the power of such a tool.
But Task 1 posed significant risks for Bai Lian. She had recently used her Qianhuan Real Eyes, and it would be difficult to use them again so soon.
After careful consideration, Bai Lian decided on Task 2.
The reward gap between Task 2 and Task 3 wasn’t as significant as she had initially thought.
Let’s give it a try.
She sighed deliberately and said, “Do as you wish.”
The ember immediately laughed. “You won’t regret this!”
After all, it was a Demigod!
The ember instructed, “Stay still. I need to prepare the Ceremony of Inviting Immortals.”
“Fine.”
Bai Lian nodded. She also needed to prepare. She couldn’t allow her younger Martial Sister to suffer any harm.
Walking over to Ling Xuan, she said, “Younger Martial Sister, take this.”
Bai Lian pulled out a beautiful jade ring from her chest—[Another Year of Nanwang] (Mother Ring).
Ling Xuan accepted it in a daze, feeling the warm temperature of the jade ring.
But Bai Lian wasn’t finished. She then retrieved a light purple bead from her chest—
It was the best magic tool for body protection.
Ling Xuan took it as well. The bead was warm to the touch and glistened with rippling water-like droplets.
“Sister Bai Lian, what are these things?”
Bai Lian replied, “They’re magic tools. Keep them safe for me, just for now.”
“Hmm.”
Ling Xuan nodded, still confused.
At that moment, the ember’s voice rang out. “The ceremony is ready. Time is running out—don’t delay any further!”
“Good.”
Bai Lian smiled reassuringly at Ling Xuan.
Let’s see what this ember is up to.
Under the ember’s guidance, Bai Lian stepped onto the altar.
A surge of magic power descended from the sky. The dark marks on the altar erupted with red and black light, intertwining like the bars of a cage.
The ember gazed at the scene with satisfaction, savoring its “poetic flavor.”
The Ancient Starry Sky Road had finally appeared.
Today, the world would witness the power of the Heavenly Yuan Divine Light once more!
Below the altar, Ling Xuan couldn’t help but whisper nervously.
“Sister Bai Lian!”
Bai Lian smiled. “Don’t worry. After I accept the inheritance, I’ll teach it to you. If you can’t learn it, I’ll ask Shifu to teach you a new cultivation method.”
Ling Xuan hurriedly shook her head. “Sister Bai Lian, I don’t need it. As long as you can become an Immortal…”
Bai Lian interrupted, “Younger Martial Sister, you’re so silly. Really, have you forgotten what others call me?”
“Why do they call Sister Bai Lian?”
Ling Xuan recalled, “Fairy Bai Lian… No, White Emperor Bai Lian? White Emperor Holy Lord?”
“That’s right.” Bai Lian nodded. “I have my own way. This inheritance is of no use to me.”
“Huh?”
Ling Xuan scratched her head in confusion.
“Is the Immortal Emperor stronger than the Celestial Immortals?”
“Of course.”
“Then why does it say that Celestial Immortals are the strongest among immortals?”
Ling Xuan pointed to the altar.
“Because Immortal Emperors have long transcended the level of ordinary immortals, and they are usually not included in such discussions.”
“I see.”
Ling Xuan suddenly understood.
Bai Lian added, “So you just have to think about yourself.”
Ling Xuan nodded in understanding.
But the ember didn’t understand.
“What were you talking about?” Its eyes suddenly locked onto Bai Lian. “Are you a reincarnated Immortal Emperor?”
Before Bai Lian could answer, Ling Xuan spoke up. “That’s what the cultivators outside say about Sister Bai Lian!”
Boom!
It was like a nuclear bomb had exploded. The shockwave left the ember completely dumbfounded.
It was a Demigod, but the one standing before it was a reincarnated Immortal Emperor?
What the hell?!
No…
The ember stared.
The Ceremony of Inviting Immortals…
What… what on earth had it invited back?!
“Don’t lie,” the ember shouted.
Ling Xuan was annoyed. “I’ve never lied to anyone!”
“Impossible, impossible…” The ember repeated the words, still in disbelief.
Ling Xuan said, “Why is it impossible? Sister Bai Lian is the best in the world. I think you’ve been trapped here too long. Everyone outside knows it, but you don’t. If you don’t believe me, you can go out and ask.”
These words pierced the ember’s heart like a nail.
Get out?
If it could leave, how could it have been trapped here all this time?
It was over.
The ember was so anxious, its body nearly split apart.
It wanted to possess the body of a reincarnated Immortal Emperor?
How absurd!
The ember desperately tried to stop the Ceremony of Inviting Immortals, but once it began, there was no stopping it.
It had been imprisoned here by a Demigod Green Dragon for 30,000 years. An Immortal Emperor could kill it with a single blow.
The ember’s mind shook again as it saw Bai Lian’s calm face.
Isn’t this the composure of an Immortal Emperor?
In its panic, the ember began to see Bai Lian as an Immortal Emperor in every aspect.
Damn, damn, damn…
The ember was on the verge of madness.
No!
The Ancient Starry Sky Road had reappeared. It finally had a chance to return to the Immortal World. It could not die here!
Run! Even if it meant sacrificing its own essence, it had to escape!
After 30,000 years of imprisonment, the ember had completely lost its courage to “enter the tiger’s den.”
“What’s wrong with you?”
Bai Lian reached out her hand.
“Don’t come any closer!”
The ember suddenly roared hysterically.
In that moment, it burned the last of its accumulated power.
A surge of flames erupted, and the Ceremony of Inviting Immortals was shattered in the collision.
Boom!
Black and red light surged out like a tide, completely engulfing Bai Lian. Then, a blue stream shot from the altar, flying straight out of the Green Dragon Skeleton.
