Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon! Chapter 770 - 768 A Peerless Genius
As they moved deeper, the fluctuation that had vanished in the ancient town returned, signaling that they were heading in the right direction.
Guang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes, gazing into the distance.
Dark Demons, huh? The Demon Emperor has arrived.
She smirked, scanning the team beside her.
After finding the Dark Demon, these so-called teammates will beco useless. I'll just find a way to shake them off. Especially this An, who is annoyingly clingy. She always gave an inexplicably strong sense of affinity, from our first eting until now. It's as if she were my own kin. This won't do. It mustn't affect my path of Cultivating Demon.
"Sister, what's wrong?" An asked.
"An, you've been with for so long, yet you've never ntioned your family. Don't they care about you?" Guang Xiaoyu suddenly asked.
"Ah! Well, you see," An's eyes darted about as she thought, then she replied in a sorrowful tone, "Actually, I was born in a small, remote village. My mother died from hemorrhaging during a difficult childbirth. My father was imprisoned for cris and then beaten to death in jail... I was only four years old then..."
"Luckily, there was a kind old lady in the village who was willing to give a al, or else... I would have starved to death!"
"WHIMPER, WHIMPER..."
Shaking uncontrollably with grief, An sobbed nonstop.
"But heaven doesn't always grant wishes. Not long after, a group of bandits ca to the village. They looted, killed, and committed all sorts of evil. They killed the n and the elderly and took the won and children..."
"To keep them from taking , my granny begged desperately, but those people were beasts, a bunch of burly brutes... SIGH..."
"And so, I was left without a ho as well..."
Guang Xiaoyu was speechless.
This plot, this template. Why does it sound so familiar? Isn't this the storyline she herself concocted when she used to deceive others?
"Sister, now I only have you..." An looked up at her, tearful, helpless, and pitiable.
"No, you have many aunts."
"I an right now!" An retorted.
"You just said you were taken away by bandits, right? When I t you, why were you being chased by an old witch?"
"Well, this..."
An looked a bit guilty but had no choice but to continue her fabricated story. "After Granny passed away, I ended up in a den of thieves. Since I was young, not very strong, and couldn't work well, they constantly beat or scolded . Then, they sold to the Liu Family in East Town..."
"The Liu Family in East Town?"
An knew Guang Xiaoyu wasn't from the Netherworld, so she explained in detail, "The Netherworld is centered around Feng City, with Luo Feng Mountain's six palaces overseeing its major affairs. Other matters, such as territory, resources, and Original Stones, are not heavily regulated by Luo Feng Mountain."
"This has led to the developnt of various family sects and powers within the Netherworld, among which the Liu Family in East Town is one, considered a second-rate power."
"Granny Gan served their household, and her death today will undoubtedly enrage the Liu Family in East Town."
Sothing's not right!
"You claim to be from a small village, lacking parental guidance and sibling support, and were sold as a servant," Guang Xiaoyu challenged. "How can you be so knowledgeable about the workings of the Netherworld?"
An rolled her eyes, looking at Guang Xiaoyu as if she were an idiot. "Luo Feng Mountain is a pilgrimage site for Qi Refiners great and small in the Netherworld," she explained. "For a Qi Refiner born in a humble place, securing a spot there through their own efforts and talent is akin to a mortal studying hard for ten years and finally having their na on the honor roll."
"Moreover, I may be an orphan, but I am not brainless."
That seed sowhat reasonable!
Guang Xiaoyu, as a forr Demon Emperor, was left speechless by the little girl's comnts, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
But even as a Demon Emperor, despite her glorious past, she had never delved deeply into the Netherworld. She only knew so rumors and superficial details, and was truly unfamiliar with the specific operations of its institutions or the affairs between the major families and sects.
It was quite normal that she didn't know so basic things this native little girl understood.
COUGH, COUGH. These aren't the main points, she thought.
Guang Xiaoyu shrugged her shoulders and added, "Then you keep it up!"
"Sister, how much do you know about the cultivation thods of the Netherworld?" An suddenly asked.
Guang Xiaoyu knew about these things and briefly explained, "Cultivators in the Netherworld use Essence Qi as their fundantal power source. They control swords with this Qi and are collectively known as Qi Refiners. Qi Refiners are further divided into Beginner, Interdiate, Advanced, Perfection, and God-Level Qi Refiners."
"The Human Clan, on the other hand, circulates Spirit Qi throughout the body, using it to wield various Divine Skills, techniques, and offensive abilities. Their cultivators are more diverse, with many possessing powerful innate talents like the Divine Body, Different Body, or Sword Body."
"These gifted cultivators are generally classified as Divine Power Holders, Body Cultivators, or Sword Cultivators."
"Although Qi Refiners of the Netherworld do not have cultivation thods as complicated and diverse as those of the Human Clan, their cultivation is straightforward, and their ranking system is simple. However, in terms of combat strength, they are not inferior at all; they are even stronger. In essence, each rank of a Qi Refiner holds substantial power."
"That's right, people of the Netherworld cultivate Essence Qi, and the Human Clan cultivates Spirit Qi. They are almost two completely different cultivation thods," An agreed, and then added very calmly, "But I seem to be able to cultivate both of those distinct powers at the sa ti, you know."
Upon saying this, she chuckled, a look of pride on her face.
What? Absorbing both types? Does this an An is both a Qi Refiner and a Human Clan cultivator? That sounds pretty aweso!
Guang Xiaoyu looked at her, her face a picture of shock.
She recalled her own junior sister's cultivation; she was also a Qi Refiner. Yet, her senior brother had tried countless tis to help her condense Spirit Qi, but all attempts had ended in failure.
It seems impossible, right?
"Alas!" An sighed. "It sounds very impressive, but in reality, I still don't know if these two completely different powers can coexist, if they can truly condense, or even if they can be utilized!"
She sounded quite disheartened.
"But it's not without its advantages. Sister, as long as you take with you, I can help you if we encounter a powerful Qi Refiner!" she said cheerfully.
If she can switch her cultivation type, then as a Qi Refiner facing other Qi Refiners, they probably wouldn't attack her so fiercely, right?
Guang Xiaoyu was unconcerned. With her strength, what did it matter if her identity was revealed?
But what made her ponder was whether this little girl's bizarre constitution signified sothing.
A genius? An unparalleled genius? Should I take her in? And... if I were to guide her cultivation, would her realm advance as rapidly as my junior sister's did?
Thinking about this, she couldn't help wanting to get a glimpse of An's Dantian.
As Guang Xiaoyu watched her, her gaze gradually changed.
Sensing this, An jumped in fright. "Sister, does your Human Clan eat people?"
What nonsense is this? Guang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking?"
