His tone was light and indifferent, extremely natural.

Chu Liuyue glanced at him, wrinkled her nose, and smiled. “There aren’t many who dare to say that the Seventh Deity doesn’t have good taste.”

The status of the deities in Fantasy Divine Palace was extremely high. Many people would be especially careful when they mentioned them, let alone judge them so bluntly.

Rong Xiu tapped her nose lightly. “Could it be that he’s wrong? He’s a Xuan Master himself. How could he not see my Yue’er’s talent?”

Chu Liuyue shrugged and sighed. “Isn’t it because there’s no bloodline totem?”

From the first day she came here, she deeply realized how much contempt and mockery she would have to face here without a bloodline totem.

Rong Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers gently brushed past her glabella.

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. She leaned closer and softly said, “Rong Xiu, the Extreme God Sundial… can only test people with bloodline power?”

Rong Xiu looked at her. After a while, he said, “Of course.”



Peng!

A stream of light flew up and quickly bloomed into an extremely dazzling Xuan formation.

Mu Yafeng looked up, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes. The fourth! This is already the fourth Grandmaster Xuan formation I’ve cracked in a row on the Star Path! Moreover, it only took less than two days!

Not far behind her, many people were watching.

Seeing that she had successfully cracked another Xuan formation, the crowd instantly became restless.

“What’s wrong with Mu Yafeng? Why did she suddenly become so powerful?”

“The further she goes, the more complicated the Xuan formations become. I remember that she was trapped by a Xuan formation for a long time last time, and she couldn’t solve it in the end. She had no choice but to give up. Not long after, she came back again, and it was so smooth!”

“She has always been very talented. Perhaps she suddenly had an epiphany…”

“If this continues, she can really comprehend all the Xuan formations this time and officially enter Fantasy Divine Hall, right?”

“I thought it would be Shangguan Yue…”

“Haha! What kind of joke is this? Shangguan Yue is very powerful, but she doesn’t have a bloodline totem! It shouldn’t be her turn, right?”

“That’s true… But apart from this, she’s really impressive. Didn’t you hear? She went to the Fantasy Divine Sea and actually came back unscathed. She even beat Nan Jinshu up! If she wasn’t confident, would she dare to do this?”

Mu Yafeng was still in a good mood after hearing the envy and praises. However, the name that appeared later made her eyes turn cold. Pfft, she is just bold because she has some talent. It’s said that she has been relying on Tuan Zi to make all kinds of requests of the Second Deity recently.

She is really arrogant. The Second Deity can tolerate her once or twice, but it is hard to say if it was too many times.

Mu Yafeng shook her head and waved away the messy thoughts in her heart before continuing forward! This time, I have to complete the Star Path and enter Fantasy Divine Hall no matter what!



In the courtyard, Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue sat opposite each other. Between the two of them, a semi-transparent chessboard floated quietly.

Above, the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Chu Liuyue stared at the chessboard and touched her chin.

Ever since she read the Li Fire Xuan Painting and officially broke through to the Grandmaster Xuan Master realm, she had made great progress in her cultivation of Xuan formations. But after exchanging blows with Rong Xiu, she felt a deep sense of defeat again.

Now, no matter how she moved, there was no possibility of turning things around. She was simply at the mercy of others.

“Master, that, that! Let’s go there!” An anxious voice came from behind.

Chu Liuyue turned around helplessly. “Xiao Ba, how many times have I told you not to say anything? Can’t you just apply polish to your nails in peace?”

Xiao Ba glanced at her with her red lips and raised her hand. “How can I be at ease if Master can’t win in chess? Look, it’s all messed up!”

Chu Liuyue said, “…Are you saying that your master’s standards aren’t good enough?”

Xiao Ba narrowed her eyes and hurriedly smiled. “No! I’m doing this for your own good! Look, you’ve been playing with His Highness for so many years, but you haven’t won many times.”

Chu Liuyue was speechless. I remember this very clearly. I really don’t need you to remind me.

She raised her chin. “You want me to move here?”

Xiao Ba’s eyes lit up. “That’s right!”

“Then, watch carefully.”

Whoosh!

Chu Liuyue flicked her finger, and a stream of holy force condensed into a chess piece. It quickly flew out and landed at the location Xiao Ba had specified.

Rong Xiu’s eyes were calm as he placed a piece down.

As if a sword had slashed down, it completely sealed the last path on Chu Liuyue’s side!

Chu Liuyue stretched her arms wide open. “Do you see it clearly? If we do as you say, it will only make your master die faster.”

Xiao Ba shrunk her neck guiltily. “Ahem, Master, I haven’t learned it for long. Of course, I can’t compare to you and His Highness… I promise I won’t speak again next time!”

Chu Liuyue said, “You said the same thing last time.”

Xiao Ba pursed her lips and made a ‘zipping’ motion.

Chu Liuyue tapped her forehead lightly. “You won’t learn anyway.”

She was used to it.

Xiao Ba’s eyes were filled with tears. I really want to help Master win!

At this moment, Si Jing walked back from outside.

Chu Liuyue found it a little weird. “Si Jing, where did you go?”

When she returned from the Fantasy Divine Sea, she didn’t see Si Jing.

Si Jing bowed in turn before explaining, “Master, I went to the lightning pool.”

“Hasn’t the lightning pool been sealed?” Chu Liuyue was slightly dazed. Now, there shouldn’t be anyone going there in Fantasy Divine Palace.

Si Jing chuckled. “That’s right, but I just went to the shore to take a look! I didn’t do anything else.”

Chu Liuyue laughed. “All the heavenly lightning in the lightning pool has been frozen. What’s there to see?”

However, Si Jing said, “No! Master, there are a lot of lightning bolts in the lightning pool. The Second Deity and the others only sealed the upper layer, but the ones below are still fine!”

Chu Liuyue’s brows moved slightly. “Oh? How do you know?”

This matter was extremely confidential and hidden. Ordinary people would never guess it.

Si Jing paused. “I… guessed… The power of the heavenly lightning below is still swimming around. You can tell if you stand close and take a closer look.”

Chu Liuyue gazed at him meaningfully. “Si Jing.”

“Yeah.”

“You—”

Chu Liuyue was about to speak when Cen Yi suddenly pushed the door open and walked out. “Master.”

Seeing that his expression was different from before, Chu Liuyue knew that something must have happened. She immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”

Cen Yi came to her. “Qi Han sent news that they met Jiu Long and Xi Yan in the God-Killing Tumulus.”

“What?!” Chu Liuyue was shocked and stood up.

As she was too shocked, she didn’t notice that Cen Yi didn’t call the two of them ‘deities.’ Instead, he called them by their names directly.
