Chijiu admitted she wasn’t very smart.
But precisely because she wasn’t smart, she became very trusting of her intuition. Whenever her intuition told her something was wrong, Chijiu would turn and run!
This time was no exception.
When her intuition told her there was trouble, and that the words of this Tree Spirit would bring her big troubles, Chijiu didn’t hesitate for a second. Ignoring the dumbfounded expressions of her three teammates, ’What are you doing,’ she directly used the Escape Skill to flee towards the spatial rift.
Since the usual Escape Technique couldn’t be used, Chijiu utilized the Blood Escape!
A beam of blood light, in almost the blink of an eye, already vanished in front of her three teammates and the Tree Spirit, giving them no chance to persuade or stop her!
Yes, doing this was embarrassing, and not only embarrassing, she might miss out on many resources, and it could even harm her, needing a long time to recover.
But survival is the most important!
"I’ve forgotten the names of those companions I once knew on the path of cultivation, their faces have even started to blur. All kinds of deaths, dying in greedy desire and not being decisive enough to flee....."
The blood light transformed and slipped down the horizon.
Almost sprinting all the way towards the spatial fissure, without a moment’s pause, she rushed into it.
It was only then that the other half of Chijiu’s sentence echoed in the air.
"Some of them might have gained huge benefits in some adventures, but just like what my gambler dad said before he died, one must never gamble, because persistent gambling leads to loss, and on the cultivation path it’s even more so. Those who successfully gained benefits may have achieved great things, but the only one who survived till now is me."
Three other members of the group: "..."
Similarly, the stunned Tree Spirit was also struck both inwardly and outwardly by Chijiu’s words.
Seeing the three outsiders in front of it remain silent, and their demeanor towards it becoming guarded, the gray-black Tree Spirit wobbled its full head of roots and awkwardly, helplessly spoke:
"If I say, I have no ill intentions towards you, would you... believe me?"
Awkwardness.
A moment later.
"Believe, of course, believe!"
"Hahahaha, Tree Spirit brother, don’t mind, women, you know, have their moments every month, hahaha, don’t mind her, don’t mind...."
"Chijiu is just timid... yes, Tree Spirit brother, didn’t you just say you wanted to invite us to become Guardians of the Cosmic Realm?"
...
Is Chijiu timid?
Yes, timid.
Although she didn’t think so herself, as a cultivator in the Nirvana Realm, every move she made when making a decision undoubtedly told those around her that this was a girl who appeared fierce but was very cautious and extremely timid.
Such a female cultivator, no matter what she did, wouldn’t surprise others.
And this includes her escaping back to the Celestial Profound Realm within two days of entering the Cosmic Realm using Blood Escape.
In the Celestial Profound Realm, East Profound Jiang State.
The Peak Cultivator responsible for guarding the spatial fissure was yawning, thinking about his newly wedded concubine’s figure, when suddenly a scarlet hue enveloped his vision.
"Who... uh, Chijiu?"
The loud shout from his mouth almost landed along with the dharma treasure golden bell on Chijiu.
Luckily, this Peak cultivator recognized Chijiu, and because he had considered making her his sixteenth concubine, he remembered Chijiu quite well, so he didn’t accidentally add insult to her injuries in his excitement.
"Zuo Zongwang, quickly help contact Star Venerable, Chijiu has urgent military intelligence to report!"
The Peak cultivator surnamed Zuo: "???"
Five minutes later.
Chen Zhixing, upon receiving the message, appeared on the scene like a star projection.
Following him were Qin Yi and Shi Hao.
"Greetings to Star Venerable."
"Hmm."
Waving his hand to signal Zuo Zongwang to rise, Chen Zhixing then focused on the blood-covered Chijiu: "You’re the one who said there is... urgent military intelligence to report?"
Pardon Chen Zhixing for not being very interested in the term ’urgent military intelligence,’ really, he didn’t see how the Southern Domain Alliance had anything to do with the military. His purpose in sending them into the Cosmic Realm was purely to have them gather some intelligence, which had nothing at all to do with military affairs.
"Yes, master, I... I... I seem to have found what you’re looking for!"
"I... what I’m looking for?" Chen Zhixing blinked. To be honest, even he didn’t know what he was looking for, so how did this female cultivator in front of him know?
"Yes! They’re quite obvious! Just hanging in the sky! You can see them at a glance in the Cosmic Realm!" Chijiu was a bit excited.
"...What are you talking about?" Chen Zhixing frowned.
"The Divine Kingdoms left by the Ancient Gods in the Cosmic Realm!!!"
With a loud bang!
It was as if thunder had exploded above the heavens, followed by three overwhelming auras that pressed down on Chijiu, making it hard for her to breathe!
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Divine Kingdom... Damn it, are the people in the Cosmic Realm really this dumb? After all these years, they are just hanging there without hiding them?"
"Young one, you must vouch for your words..... Hey hey hey? Chen Zhixing.... hey! What the hell!!!"
Before the third person could finish speaking, a brilliant dharma body had already leaped out from around Chen Zhixing, standing in front of Chijiu to shield her from the Longevity pressure falling from the sky.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhixing’s real body surged upwards, and went to hammer that out-of-nowhere old guy dressed in a Daluo Taoist robe in the sky!
