The phantasmal woman softly spoke.
Lord Mother?!
Qi Lin was astonished. Although he already knew that the Illusionary Flying Snow was born of the “qilin” and “luan,” he was never could have imagined that the qilin he saved would be related to her. However, this was obvious if he thought about it. Primordial World’s Four Holy Beasts were singular and unique, growing alongside the world itself. So long as they did not come across some deranged demon, it was very difficult for them to die, but even if they did perish, they would simply rest briefly in primal chaos before being reborn.
After realizing this, Qi Lin was a bit relieved about the mysterious girl’s insistence that he help the Illusionary Flying Snow.
The figure of the Holy Beast Qilin dispelled the Illusionary Flying Snow’s pressure and calmly faced her.
“Why does your aura cling to a man’s body…” The Illusionary Flying Snow’s eyes were full of doubt. “Furthermore…” Pausing, the Illusionary Flying Snow suddenly said: “Lord Mother, allow me to help rid you of this humiliation.”
The girl’s hand pointed, and a bright curtain of light descended towards Qi Lin, as if a swathe of the heavenly canopy had been plucked from the void and lowered onto the girl. The Holy Beast Qilin’s figure stepped through the void and met it. The aura over its whole body surged through the Heaven Sacrifice level like an aurora, shining in all directions, illuminating this white sea of consciousness. Then, the two lights intertwined and mixed back and forth for a long while.
Qi Lin was like a tiny raft in the middle of a vast ocean under the collision of these two energies, his body nearly about to swept away.
After a long while, at last, all of the light receded.
The Holy Beast Qilin was already gone.
All of its aura gathered and formed the shape of a young girl.
The Illusionary Flying Snow stared at Qi Lin. Her eyes were slender, true phoenix eyes.
“Do you truly wish to help me?”
“I was not really thrilled to come here.” Qi Lin was calm.
The young woman was taken aback and slowly chuckled.
Then, the void sea of consciousness faded, and Qi Lin returned to his senses. Heaven and Earth were calm, the sun and moon rose and fell, and the forest was like an ocean.
The Illusionary Flying Snow’s qilin-like form was in front of him. Although she was still haughty, her killing intent was gone.
“Soon, the Heaven Sacrifice level’s Heavenly Paradise True Void Formation will activate. For now, follow me to the Pine of Gui Ge.” The Illusionary Flying Snow’s body shuddered, and with a gentle breeze, she loaded Qi Lin, Su Xuesha, and Qi Qi onto her back. Then, she soared into the sky, her body promptly morphing into the form of a luan. As if she was a pure white cloud, she transported them to the Pine of Gui Ge at the center of the Heaven Sacrifice level.
“What about my friends.” Qi Lin had just thought to ask.
“These Immortal Slumber trees can put to sleep any intruders. By the time we reach the Pine of Gui Ge, they should awaken.” The Illusionary Flying Snow answered.
Qi Lin was relieved to hear her words.
Flying through the sky, only then did Qi Lin notice that tree in the center was incomparably gigantic. Each leaf on the tree was filled with pure Yin and Yang spirit-qi. Every detail of every leaf seemed to be created from the sun and moon themselves. These leaves converged to form the absolutely spectacular scene of a sun and moon.
In the Great Primordial, there is a mountain, and on top of it is a green tree named the Pine of Gui Ge from which the sun and moon rise and set.
If an ordinary person saw this, they honestly would believe this giant tree to be the place where the sun and moon rested.
The Pine of Gui Ge’s Yin and Yang qi was extremely precious. Qi Lin asked: “Can I use this to cultivate?”
“You may cultivate if you so wish, but be wary to not disturb this level.” The Illusionary Flying Snow answered.
Qi Lin nodded and immediately cultivate the leaves’ sun and moon qi.
The Nine Yins Nine Yangs Fortune Heaven received the nourishment of the Divine Tree’s Immemorial Divine Energy. His Realm that had stagnated for so long finally stirred, and there were signs of a breakthrough to Four Yins Four Yangs.
“Hm?”
In the middle of cultivation, Qi Lin suddenly noticed that this Pine of Gui Ge was a bit odd. In the center of the treetop, a bud grew at the common border between the sun and moon. This flower bud was bright and clear, like it was a jewel on the Pine of Gui Ge’s crown, appearing extremely beautiful.
This bud apparently was showing signs of blossoming, its myriad layers of petals stirring restlessly. However, Qi Lin had no time for a careful look. The Illusionary Flying Snow had already landed under the tree.
“Aren’t you going to escape?” Qi Lin asked: “The Ten Shamans, Yang Jian, and Yan Zi are all Divine Names out to subjugate you. I doubt even the Heaven Sacrifice level can guarantee your safety.”
The Illusionary Flying Snow glanced at the treetop then lowered her gaze. “Humble yet towering cultivator, I am very honored that you have come to warn me about my safety, but I am unable to leave. The Heaven Sacrifice level needs my power in order to be maintained…”
“The Heaven Sacrifice level is already unable to obstruct the Ten Shamans, is there any need to maintain it?” Qi Lin asked.
The Illusionary Flying Snow did not answer any further. She then soared into the sky like a luan and flew to the top of the tree.
Qi Lin saw she was already preoccupied and was unable to ask her any more questions. The most pressing matter was still to wake Qi Qi and Su Xuesha first then leave. No matter what, he already had completed the mysterious girl’s goal. As for facing off against Yang Jian, Yan Zi, and the rest, Qi Lin conceded he was completely outmatched.
Very quickly, Su Xuesha and Qi Qi woke up one after another.
Opening her eyes, Su Xuesha immediately asked: “Immortal Slumber, look out.”
“Xuesha, you’ve already slept long enough.”
“Hm?” Su Xuesha then noticed that the surrounding environment had already changed.
“Big Brother, what is this tree, it’s so big.” Qi Qi rubbed her eyes, feeling a bit blinded.
“This is the Western Primordial’s legendary Divine Tree – the Pine of Gui Ge.” Su Xuesha gasped: “Legend says it grows at the edge of the Western Sea, that the sun and moon rise and set from this tree. Each leaf is an extremely previous material. As expected…Changliu had such a Divine Tree.”
“The Illusionary Flying Snow.”
Su Xuesha noticed this rare Spirit Beast.
Qi Qi immediately swapped to her murderous personality and glared at it.
“It’s fine, she isn’t our foe.” Qi Qi explained.
Su Xuesha could also discern this. The Illusionary Flying Snow was resting atop the tree, her wide wings like a curtain that covered the treetop. Her eyes glanced at Qi Lin’s group with apparent indifference.
“Su Xuesha, you ought to have come here for the Yin and Yang qi, right.” Qi Lin recalled that last time on the sea, Su Xuesha had been gathering the moonlight’s essence and cultivating it. At the time, he thought she was suffering from a secret illness.
Only now that he realized her Divine Name was actually one born from a Later Heaven cultivator name. Because it was very special, it required the power of pure Yin and Yang to break its shackles. Only then could her Divine Name truly be wielded.
Su Xuesha sat cross-legged and immediately absorbed the Divine Tree’s nourishment.
After a long while, the Illusionary Flying Snow opened her eyes from her slumber: “The Ten Shamans have already unlocked the Earth Sacrifice level’s final forbiddance. They need only open it to be able to enter this place. You had best flee first…”
Su Xuesha stopped cultivating. She knew the implications of what would come next and what that would mean for Qi Lin.
The Illusionary Flying Snow emitted spirit-light.
Auspicious signs flourished, and Qi Lin sensed something rise from his mind. That mysterious green light appeared again.
“Take good care of her.”
