Chapter 152: Celestial Maiden Yu Xin

The Gold Obsidian and Thunderstruck Wood miraculously appeared before the Celestial Maiden in the Fifth World!

The Celestial Maiden was named Yu Xin and was a member of the Celestial Race. She had been frustrated over the lack of these essential materials since losing contact with her connections in the upper worlds when these rare resources miraculously appeared before her.

Her eyes were dazed. It was almost like the gods had bestowed these items upon her.

The brilliance of the Gold Obsidian and the lightning patterns on the Thunderstruck Wood made Yu Xin instinctively rub her eyes. She thought it was an illusion.

Picking up a piece of Gold Obsidian and feeling its cold hardness, her body trembled.

"Xiao Hei! My Xiao Hei!" She gently hugged the neck of the Giant Abyssal Serpent. It was unclear whether she was deeply moved or quietly sobbing, but she kept whispering, "Xiao Hei, how did you do this?"

She knew the Giant Abyssal Serpent was extraordinary and had seen images of Eight Trigrams City deep within its dark eyes.

Using her soul-probing secret technique, she had also detected mysterious runes from the Heaven Ascension Tribulation Pillar imprinted inside the Giant Abyssal Serpent's heart. Even its blood held peculiar mysteries.

Knowing the Giant Abyssal Serpent had a mysterious origin, she had named it Xiao Hei and regarded it as her companion. She planned to help the Giant Abyssal Serpent increase its strength, patiently awaiting the day it would gain the self-awareness and intelligence to reveal its secrets.

Unexpectedly, in her time of need, Xiao Hei produced Gold Obsidian and Thunderstruck Wood!

"You—your intelligence had yet to experience a qualitative leap. I still can't communicate with you telepathically. How..." Tears welled in her eyes as she hugged the Giant Abyssal Serpent tightly.

Once she had calmed herself, Yu Xin stood before the serpent and faced it directly.

Her tranquil eyes gazed into the Giant Abyssal Serpent's slitted pupils as she said tenderly, "So, even though you can't speak and we can't communicate telepathically, you understand me. Xiao Hei, you actually understood me. But how did you get the Gold Obsidian and Thunderstruck Wood?"

Yu Xin was both moved and astonished. It seemed like she was trying to stare into the Giant Abyssal Serpent's soul through its slitted pupils. She longed to have a genuine conversation with her beloved Xiao Hei.

Meanwhile, Pang Jian saw the face of the mysterious woman with six pairs of white wings for the first time.

Pang Jian was secretly amazed.

The Celestial Maiden was completely different from the one-eyed giants and the Vicious Beasts of the Fifth World. Her six pairs of white wings were the only feature distinguishing her from humans.

She wore a pure white robe that draped delicately over her graceful figure. Her willow-leaf eyebrows and serene black eyes looked like a normal human woman's.

At first glance, her features were small, and Pang Jian did not find her particularly stunning. Compared to Luo Hongyan and Li Yuqing, two women Pang Jian found extraordinarily beautiful, she was rather ordinary.

However, the longer Pang Jian stared at her, the more beautiful she seemed to become.

Her eyes and gentle demeanor left a deep impression on him, and her calming presence brought peace and tranquility to one's heart.

"Xiao Hei, you've been so good to me. How should I repay you?" Yu Xin whispered in a teary voice.

Repay...

Pang Jian tried to communicate with the Giant Abyssal Serpent, wanting to request saplings and seeds from the Fifth World from Yu Xin.

Despite being the first to awaken from the bronze pendant, the Giant Abyssal Serpent could not understand him and remained at a complete loss.

Luckily, he had not sought help from the Giant Abyssal Serpent during combat. He would have likely died if he had.

With that in mind, he swallowed two more Mind Soothing Pills and re-established a connection with the Giant Abyssal Serpent.

You don't have to give me your energy anymore, he said awkwardly.

"Xiao Hei!" The graceful Yu Xin flapped her white wings and descended from the high mountains above.

Whoosh!

She spread out her six pairs of white wings like feathered fans. On each wing were menacing-looking saplings and barbed flower seeds.

"So, unlike other giant serpents, you primarily eat plants..."

She gently shook her wings, sending the saplings and seeds flying toward the Giant Abyssal Serpent's mouth.

The Giant Abyssal Serpent gritted its teeth and refused to open its mouth at the sight. The stone and branches from earlier had caused it to howl in agony. It could not imagine what horrors would ensue if these menacing saplings and terrifying seeds entered its stomach.

Open your mouth! Swallow them! Pang Jian roared.

Feeling extremely aggrieved, the Giant Abyssal Serpent had no choice but to open its mouth. Each sapling and seed it swallowed appeared from the bronze pendant in the Third World.

"Xiao Hei, I've wronged you. From now on, I'll only feed you plants."

That was the last thing Pang Jian heard before severing his connection with the Giant Abyssal Serpent.

Feeling sorry for the Giant Abyssal Serpent, he could not help but wonder if it would be thinner the next time he established a connection.

Pang Jian then connected to the World Eater Vine in the Fourth World and sent over the saplings and seeds from the Fifth World using the same method as before.

As the World Eater Vine received the saplings and seeds from the Fifth World, its joy increased to euphoria. Seeing its delight, Pang Jian did not linger to bask in its affection and gratitude and promptly severed their connection.

As he stepped out of the cave, the mentally and physically exhausted Pang Jian habitually reached for a Mind Soothing Pill, only to find the bottle in his spatial bracelet was empty.

"Do you have any more Mind Soothing Pills?" Pang Jian asked the moment he saw Luo Hongyan.

"I gave you all of mine," Luo Hongyan said with a strange look in her eyes. “You're only at the Innate Realm. Why do you act like an old monster in the Spirit Condensation Realm? Are you that desperate for mind tranquility and concentration pills?”

"Yes." Pang Jian nodded. "I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep for a while. If we reach Old Monster Cao's territory early, keep an eye out for Mind Soothing Pills or any pills with similar effects for me. And also Solar Essence Stones,"

Once they landed on the Cloud Sail, the utterly exhausted Pang Jian sat down and instantly fell into a deep sleep, filling the air with snores.

"What's going on with your brother?" Gao Yuan asked in bewilderment.

"He's exhausted from his cultivation. Don't worry about him," Luo Hongyan casually replied. "Don't worry about anything else and just head straight to the fragmented lands under Old Monster Cao's control. Time is running out for his trade fair and the Cloud Sail is too slow. Don't delay any further."

Gao Yuan smiled wryly. "I'm just worried—"

"There's nothing to worry about." Luo Hongyan snorted coldly.

"Alright, I understand."
