The voice sounded rather impressed as it said, âI can sense the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting from you. Iâm surprised that youâve managed to obtain that ancient divine artifact. Not only that, youâve also managed to completely merge with it.â
Nie Li received a fright at those words; he never expected Xiao Yuâs father to be able to sense the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting concealed within his soul realm.
The voice continued, âOnce my daughterâs bloodline is released, sheâll attain all the cultivation that my wife and I possessed before we died. However, the aura of the [Heavenâs Divination] technique will leak from her body and the Sage Emperor will be able to sense her. I have a request of you: please send her into your Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting before her bloodline awakens, so that she can escape the calamity!â
âIf youâre asking me to allow her into the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting, thatâs no problem!â Nie Li pounded a fist on his chest in a gesture of confidence. âBut Iâd like to ask, when will her blood awaken?â
âThat will happen when her cultivation reaches the Martial Ancestor Realm, orâŠshe becomes the woman of a man,â that voice finally said after a brief hesitation.
Nie Li was clearly stunned by that answer, and a strange expression smeared itself across his face. Well, it shouldnât be too difficult or too long before Xiao Yu reached the Martial Ancestor Realm.
The voice sighed and said, âThe Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting is an astonishing treasure that contains a separate dimension. Back then, there were countless wars and battles over this treasure. Once, two pinnacle experts had risked their lives to conceal it from the Sage Emperor. However, they ultimately died at his hands.â
This is the time and space of the Sage Emperor. If anything appeared, regardless of person or treasure, that could threaten the Sage Emperorâs power, then itâd be eliminated.
The Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting is one of the treasures that the Sage Emperor wants to eliminate!
The only reason the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting managed to survive is because itâd been preserved by people with noble goals.
The voice spoke with sorrow. âBack then, countless experts fell in battles against the Sage Emperor. Even until now, the best we can do is to keep him in check. We have gathered numerous experts in the Ancestral God Land to suppress the Sage Emperorâs Demonic Bone; because of that, the Sage Emperor cannot exert his entire strength and could only use his clone to control this area of time and space. That clone only possesses a tenth of his true power; therefore, providing us a chance. Otherwise, dozens of nearby realms wouldâve already been turned into wastelands.â
Nie Li was alarmed by this new information. So the Ancestral God Land was suppressing the Sage Emperorâs Demonic Bone. During Nie Liâs battle with the Sage Emperor in his previous life, heâd noticed that the Sage Emperor was unexpectedly weak. So it turns out that the Sage Emperor hadnât recovered his full strength!
Based on what Nie Li knew, the Sage Emperor had suddenly become bolder with his actions once the Ancestral God Landâs Holy Maiden suddenly disappeared and the land was ravaged by golden flames. Perhaps the Sage Emperor hadnât had enough time to recover his strength after the destruction of the Ancestral God Land.
So, how should Nie Li resolve it in this life?
Nie Li went silent.
The voice took the opportunity to speak again. âThe Sage Emperor may be strong, but you donât have to be too pessimistic about it. There are many experts concealed in the corners of various realms who continue to cultivate for the sake of confronting the Sage Emperor. The Tiny World that exists within the Draconic Ruins Realm was created by a supreme expert before he died. Even the Sage Emperor cannot break its seal and enter. Therefore, many experts have concealed powerful treasures within that realm. If you can obtain these treasures, itâd be a great help to your endeavours!â
The voice continued, âThe seal on the Tiny World is extremely powerful; only those who have originated from the Tiny World can enter and exit as they please. Fortunately, my daughter is from the Tiny World; she will definitely be able to help you!â
Nie Li heard Xiao Yuâs father and finally understood the reason for the seal on the Tiny World. So thatâs why the Tiny World is the way it is!
What Xiao Yuâs father didnât know was that Nie Li was also from the Tiny World!
Nie Li wondered about what kind of treasures were hidden there.
The Temporal Demon Spirit Book, the Thunder Godâs Meteorite Sword, and the Nightmare Demon Pot were probably part of that horde. Nie Li had found the Green Poison Pearl as well, but that was far inferior to the other divine artifacts that heâd found.
He never imagined that the Tiny World would be so important. No wonder the Demon Godâs Sect was trying to overrun it with demon beasts and cultivate forces within it!
The fog within Nie Liâs heart gradually lifted as he put the pieces together. So thatâs how it was!
The next time the entrance to the Tiny World opened, heâd definitely have to go in! That was the only way he could obtain the hidden treasures within before the Demon God Sectâs experts did!
Nie Li had been reborn and thought of himself as quite knowledgeable, but there were still many riddles that he couldnât solve. For example, the mysterious Emperor Kong Ming. Who was he? Where was he right now?
âIâll leave my daughter to you!â
âSenior, please rest assured. As long as Iâm here, no one will touch a hair on your daughter. Well, if I die, then I wonât be able to guarantee that!â Nie Li shrugged.
The voice sounded like he was smiling as he replied, âIf you can hide yourselves away, then hide. If you cannot, then leave yourselves to fate! Now that things have been sorted out, you may take your leaveâŠâ
The voice gradually drifted away.
Nie Li consciousness slowly returned to his own body. When he curled his fingers, a peculiar sensation came to his hand. Ample and soft, too much to grasp with one hand.
What is this?
*Smack!*
A burning pain spread across Nie Liâs face and a five-fingered mark appeared. When Nie Li opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yu wearing a new set of clothes and glaring at him.
âLecher!â Xiao Yu couldnât help spitting out those words as her cheeks burned.
Nie Liâs consciousness had been inside Xiao Yu for almost two hours now. The seals on her meridians had naturally become undone.
But that earlier, what was that sensation?
Nie Li looked at Xiao Yuâs chest. It was obviously flat. Could it have just been his imagination? Was his head that foggy?
Nie Li shrugged and said, âI didnât know that youâre a woman. Itâs your fault that you dressed up like a man this entire time!â
âYouâŠâ Xiao Yu was extremely depressed as she recalled everything thatâd happened two hours ago. Nie Li had touched her entire body, but it was true that it wasnât his fault. Sheâd dressed as a man, so of course heâd assumed that she was one. When she remembered how Nie Li had laid her down and massaged her naked body, her entire face started burning.
âForget it! Letâs pretend that nothing happened!â Xiao Yu threw her hands down in anger and irritation. Sheâd been taken advantage of, but what could she actually do about it?
