This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 374 - 362: Accidental Success Leads to Thriving Growth
CHAPTER 374: CHAPTER 362: ACCIDENTAL SUCCESS LEADS TO THRIVING GROWTH
"We haven’t even left the territory of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect yet!" Wan Wan’s figure seemed somewhat hazy, not like a solid body, but more like a cluster of starlight condensed together.
In fact, he had already vaguely seen a glimpse of this event in the Star River before it even occurred. However, the outcome of the event didn’t seem to show any irreparable signs, so he couldn’t be bothered to intervene.
Yet Liang Yi truly lives up to his reputation as a divination black hole. Envying him has never proven accurate.
The future he saw was actually of that Cultivator with the surname Que blocking Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and that little one from the Demon Clan alone, while Liu Rouxin was severely injured by the Saintess of the Devouring Spirit Sect after paying a small price.
Liang Yi and Su Youyi did attempt to deploy the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique to save the situation, but in the future he saw, Liang Yi and Su Youyi didn’t find their rhythm and therefore didn’t have that clear sword light that he could see from countless miles away,
Liu Rouxin can be injured, but she cannot die within the territory of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect. The future him also eventually appeared to save the day, expelling the Devouring Spirit Sect.
He also took note of the inexplicable relationship between Liang Yi and the Devouring Spirit Sect, but he was too lazy to delve into it.
But now the future underwent a sudden and unexpected change, without any preparation. So, on a whim, he appeared at the center of the vortex, wanting to experience this unique feeling of the future changing first-hand, which has some positive effects on his Cultivation and the use of the Star River.
As for this matter, the appearance of the Devouring Spirit Sect is not that important.
"I didn’t expect the Sect Master of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect to personally descend." Wan Tinggui returned to the side of the woman with the surname Que and the Black Tortoise Envoy, looking solemnly at Wan Wan, who was closing his eyes and sensing something.
Based on her analysis of the Master of Senluo, he shouldn’t be interested in this matter; at most, he would have intervened when she was about to kill Liu Rouxin.
She didn’t expect her prediction to be off.
"As the Saintess of the Devouring Spirit Sect, you sure are bold." Wan Wan’s eyelids slightly lifted, and he glanced at Wan Tinggui with his usual indifferent tone.
Though the Master of Senluo made no move, the woman with the surname Que and the Black Tortoise Envoy looked at the elder who seemed like he could collapse with a gust of wind as if facing a formidable enemy.
The man was simply standing there, yet to them, it felt like they were looking into an encompassing fog. In their perception, a faintly visible river phantom quietly circled the elder, and it was this river that gave them a profound sense of danger.
"Master Wan..." Liu Rouxin put away the long spear in her hand and respectfully saluted the elder in front of her. She understood the reason for the elder’s appearance here, but she knew it was only because the Blood Control Sect and the Senluo Wanxiang Sect were allies.
"Hmm... Eh?" The Senluo Master who initially responded indifferently suddenly let out a small exclamation of surprise, his face showing a trace of joy, as this close perception of the change in fate brought him an unusually significant revelation.
The Star River is originally created by imitating the Time River, and this close feeling of the flow of the Time River also gave him some insight into the subtle differences between the two.
At this moment, the Black Tortoise Envoy and the woman with the surname Que exchanged glances, both realizing that the Master of Senluo was preoccupied. Without waiting to inform Wan Tinggui of the reason, the two, together with Wan Tinggui, transformed into tunneling light and instantly departed.
And Wan Wan did not even glance at the three departing figures, showing no intention of stopping them.
Liu Rouxin, looking at the now invisible three figures, hesitatingly wanted to say something to the elder before her, but in the end, she remained silent.
The fact that the elder was willing to intervene was already a demonstration of extreme benevolence; she had no right to expect more from others.
"That sword technique was not bad, was it taught by Chen Hua?" The joy on Wan Wan’s face flickered away as he turned to look at Liang Yi and his group.
"Yes, it was taught by our master and with the guidance of our mentor’s wife, we were lucky to learn it." Liang Yi nodded in reply, without any proud expression on his face.
"Zhou Ruanxian, right? It makes sense; Chen Hua was able to create this Sword technique because of Zhou Ruanxian’s influence," commented Wan Wan with a reminiscent look on his face.
Old man Orange shrank his body back to palm-size and fluttered from the deck to Liang Yi’s side, looking at the robed elder.
After sizing him up, Old man Orange suddenly let out a sound of amazement, seemingly quite surprised.
Zhou Yuqing disappeared the very moment Wan Tinggui and the others retreated; she must have gone back to her cabin to close off and heal.
"The reason I didn’t take action against those people, you probably can guess some of it, so I won’t waste my breath explaining to you. Your life is quite interesting; consider this time that I’ve gained a little advantage from you." The Master of Senluo’s body, formed by starlight, was shining slightly, casting an illusory light over his entire being.
"The enlightenment the Sect Master had is due to their own fate and has little that’s relevant to my junior," Liang Yi shook his head.
"Take care of this starlight. If you have something difficult to decide on, you may place it on your forehead." Just before his figure dissipated, Wan Wan gently swept his fingertips through the surrounding void, and a speck of starlight appeared.
With a flick of his finger, the light floated towards Liang Yi’s eye area and hid there.
[Cosmic Mysterious Starlight]: A legacy treasure from the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, refined from the essence of the star river. Blessed and transformed by the Master of Senluo, it possesses the mystique to peer into the Time River without paying a price, extremely precious and rare.
"Eh?" Liang Yi looked confused by the item description, unsure of the meaning behind peering into the Time River.
Although he is now a bona fide Cultivator, he walks the Sword Dao Path, and his understanding of the mysteries of time is merely superficial. As for being profound enough to peer into the Time River, for Liang Yi at present, that is still streets away.
"I don’t have many of these things left, just this one, but I have something more suitable for you." Wan Wan looked at Su Youyi, who was not expecting his gift but because she thought her star-eyed senior brother looked handsome, she hadn’t paid attention to what he was saying.
Seeing Su Youyi’s expression, even Wan Wan felt a little embarrassed. Was his gratitude so worthless?
However, he still had to give what he needed to give. While Su Youyi was distracted, Wan Wan infused a stream of light into the Lovesick Sword hanging by her waist.
Wan Wan handed over the item to Liang Yi and Su Youyi and then didn’t linger. The recent insight was fascinating and could even have the potential to shake the chains of the Ninth Realm.
Precisely for that reason, even if Liang Yi does not acknowledge it as his merit, Wan Wan needed to show his appreciation.
