C108

For the next few days, Jiu Mu Li was in closed door cultivation and did not take a single step out of the room. It was as if he felt that he was being treated coldly, and finally, Meng Bu Si did not disturb him, causing him to heave a huge sigh of relief.

She was worried that Meng Bu Si would pester her the most, and if he did, she would really fly into a rage.

Only, what made her more at ease was that Qin Zheng hadn't come to disturb her in the recent days. She didn't know what Qin Zheng was thinking, but she had a feeling that it was related to the argument that happened that night.

"This is good as well. At least we can avoid that kind of trouble in the future."

Jiu Mu Li was very optimistic. The maturity of her soul allowed her to be more decisive than ordinary people, and very quickly, she fell into a state of cultivation.

She did not know how difficult it was to receive a 'Heavenly Flame'. Other than an alchemist, no one would know that this was a secret that was not passed on. However, she was confident that she would be able to receive it.

Other people had their own secret methods and inheritances, but she had a lot of help. Even if it was Qin Zheng, she would only use his external help a lot of the time, so her final secret would still be the glazed palace lamp.

This palace lamp had already given her many miracles. She believed that even if she failed to obtain the Heavenly Flames in the end, she would not die. At the very least, she would not be burned to death.

The cold war with Qin Zheng had come so suddenly, but Jiu Mu Li was not too distracted. She had to walk the road herself, she had always been very clear-headed, and she also hoped that Qin Zheng could understand what she meant.

After all, there were still more than two months before the Star God Pagoda would open. It was as if within these two months, she could not abandon Qin Zheng and leave by herself.

Ten days was neither long nor short, and it was difficult for cultivation to notice the passage of time. After ten days had passed, and just as the day of the inheritance site's opening arrived, Jiu Mu Li, unaware of anything, was still awakened by the people of the First Island Owner. Only then did he understand that the time had already come.

When Jiu Mu Li left the room, he saw that Qin Zheng had also been alerted, and was already waiting outside.

"Is it time?"

Jiu Mu Li was still a little confused and regretful. She felt that her cultivation had been going smoothly recently, and that these days of not disturbing others really made her feel at ease. It was a pity that she didn't have enough time.

"Let's go."

Qin Zheng nodded lightly. Ten days had passed and he seemed to have become a lot calmer.

When Jiu Mu Li and Qin Zheng saw First Island Owner, the First Island Owner became more passionate than ever before, and laughed: "Little friend, you're out of seclusion?"

"I have to thank the Island Lord for telling me." Jiu Mu Li laughed.

Being polite to many people was not strange. She did not put on airs, nor did she show her kindness by saving her life. She still placed herself in a junior's position.

First Island Owner gave a surprised smile and said: "Since that's the case, I wonder if we should prepare any pills?"

"There's no need. You can't force your luck. If you're too greedy, it'll just be too beautiful for you."

After all, the inheritance grounds this time was very strange, allowing her to enter even the Starer Stage s, this did not give her much of an advantage. In the ninth floor of the Starer s, the difference in strength was obvious, no matter how strong she was, it was impossible for her to fight against the cultivators in the ninth floor of the Starer.

"If that's the case, then we won't have to delay any longer. I believe that everyone is already here."

First Island Owner glanced at Jiu Mu Li with appreciation, and then took the lead to walk forward.

Seeing that, Jiu Mu Li followed closely behind, just at this time, Meng Bu Si elegantly arrived next to Jiu Mu Li, and smiled: "Ninth Miss, it is my pleasure to meet you. I still have some pills and spirit stones with me, please accept them.

Jiu Mu Li's good mood instantly flew beyond the ninth heaven as he dryly laughed and said: "Many thanks to young master for your good intentions.

"This is nothing. I'm just trying to be a host, so there's no need to shirk."

"There's really no need."

Jiu Mu Li rejected her once again.

Meng Bu Si was about to continue speaking, but he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill from behind him, causing his face to freeze. He turned his head to see Qin Zheng, and his expression changed slightly as he cupped his fists in embarrassment.

Qin Zheng coldly glanced at Meng Bu Si, and was immediately disinclined to pay attention to him.

Meng Bu Si was enraged, and wanted to teach Qin Zheng a lesson, but remembering the chill from earlier, he immediately extinguished that thought. He knew how powerful that coldness was, the opponent's cultivation was definitely higher than his.

"The Ninth Miss actually has such a strong bodyguard, looks like her identity must be extraordinary."

Meng Bu Si's heart was burning with passion. Only such a woman was worthy of him.

Jiu Mu Li did not notice the small confrontation between Qin Zheng and Qin Zheng and immediately followed. They left the majestic city and arrived at a small deserted area on the west side of First Island.

At this time, on this seemingly quiet and desolate outskirts of the city, stood many cultivators. Jiu Mu Li roughly scanned the place and found that none of them were weak, there were not even a few with cultivation lower than hers.

"Greetings, Island Lord."

Seeing that the First Island Owner had appeared, everyone bowed in respect.

The First Island Owner smiled and nodded, then pointed to the few cultivators that were in the middle and said to Jiu Mu Li: "Every time the inheritance land opens, there will be eighty-one slots, split among the nine islands in the Sea of Nine Serenities, and each island will have nine slots. Those are the cultivators that will belong to my First Island, you will go in with them later on, I have already instructed them to take care of you."

"Thank you, Island Lord."

"There is no need to be so courteous. This small favor is nothing. You have saved my life."

The First Island Owner enjoyed it, and pointed to the cultivators surrounding him: "Those on the fourth island, those on the fifth island …"

First Island Owner did not mention the second and third islands. Thinking about it, the two islands were already completely in his control.

However, although the introductions to the cultivators were simple, Jiu Mu Li had a better understanding of the cultivators in the Sea of Nine Serenities.

Compared to the cultivators of Qin Nation, although the cultivation base of the cultivators of Sea of Nine Serenities were similar, they were all filled with Evil Qi, presumably all of them grew up fighting and killing intent, their hands were all stained with blood, they were much stronger than the disciples of the families who lived like princes in Qin Nation.

"First Island Owner, how have you been?"

Just as First Island Owner finished introducing Jiu Mu Li, a few figures suddenly landed in front of him and greeted him.

Looking at their identities, there was no need to say anything. Jiu Mu Li knew very well that they were either the island masters of the other islands or the people in charge of the other islands.

After all, the First Island Owner today was different from how it was in the past. Their cultivation was extremely high, and each of them could fight two island masters alone, and even kill them completely.

Fortunately the First Island Owner did not have any plans to expand, otherwise, they would not be able to sleep in peace.

The island masters reminisced about the past and soon returned to their original places.

"It's about to start. Are you all ready as well?"

When the First Island Owner's voice entered all of the First Island's ears, all of the cultivators nodded their heads in agreement.

Compared to the other islands, the First Island's advantage was too great. With three islands as a quota and Jiu Mu Li as a guest, twenty-seven people would be enough to sweep the entire island if they were to form a group.

As if they had noticed the abnormality of the cultivators of the First Island, the cultivators of the other islands also joined hands.

An hour later, an azure halo suddenly rose from the wasteland ahead. Boundless star power poured down from the sky like a galaxy upside down.

Whoosh!

Boundless waves of air rolled about, causing everyone's clothes to flutter.

As the Astral Energy was continuously absorbed by the azure halo, a dazzling blue door of light appeared.

"That's enough. Open up the ancestral land. Everyone, go in. Remember to take care of each other."

The First Island Owner spoke indifferently, following his words, the group of cultivators immediately took large strides, charging straight for the door of light.

Jiu Mu Li's face also twitched, she rushed towards the light door, but just as she was about to get up, she was stopped by Qin Zheng.

"What's wrong?" Jiu Mu Li frowned and asked.

What more could he say at a time like this?

Qin Zheng's expression was still cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he revealed the pearl that had originated from the deep sea in front of Jiu Mu Li and said: "Wear this, I won't be entering this inheritance ground. If you encounter any danger inside and use this pearl to call for me, I will arrive in time.

Jiu Mu Li was startled, her heart feeling complicated, but she knew, that among all the cultivators, most of them had higher cultivation than her, let alone that there would be danger at any time.

Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay."

The pearl fell into his palm, and was still tied up with Qin Zheng's hair. Jiu Mu Li very straightforwardly put the pearl around his neck, and softly said: "I'm going in."

"Right."

Without hesitation, Jiu Mu Li immediately flew towards the door of light.

Weng! *

The moment her body touched the light door, she suddenly felt dizzy and her vision darkened. A strange scene immediately appeared in her surroundings.

Spatial transfer?

Jiu Mu Li immediately understood.

It was a strange place. It was surrounded by water, and the end couldn't be seen. Furthermore, the water was very strange, and didn't have any waves. It was dark, and didn't look like water at all.

And in the center of this world formed by water, there was a floating land floating above the sea. It was huge and towering, and looked like a vicious beast.

The place where he landed was like a beach. The soil was soft, but it was not sand. It formed an arc in the air.

From the beach to the floating island in the middle, there were only nine stone bridges. These nine bridges were extremely strange and consisted of chains that were as thick as Jiu Mu Li's thighs and stones that were covering the middle, making them look like floating bridges.

"What a strange place, what an astonishing skill."

After sizing it up for a while, Jiu Mu Li could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Although Meng Bu Si had previously revealed the situation inside, when she saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.

A floating land was comparable to a city. How high would one's cultivation have to be to construct such a land? It was simply unimaginable.
