Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 789 - 344: Holy Daughter, Are You Really Learned?

East of Dingbei Pass, the Wangbei Valley, stretching for hundreds of miles, is the venue for the Life and Death Martial Arts Competition after the change of rules.

Thirteen thousand years ago, Si Meng Immortal led his army northward to confront the Spirit Clan. After establishing the boundaries of the northern frontier, he frequently came here to gaze northward until he ascended and became an Immortal.

The name Wangbei Valley thus originated.

The founding ancestor of Qingmiao Palace received the legacy of Si Meng Immortal, gaining insights into the Forget Love Taoist Skill. With Si Meng Immortal's unfulfilled wishes, he founded Qingmiao Palace and established dominance in the Northern Boundary.

Since the Spirit Clan proposed changing the rules of the Life and Death Competition, they, being the passive side, not only wagered the "Soul Book" but also could not choose the location.

Thus, Xiao Yinruo decisively designated Wangbei Valley as the competition location.

Although not the sacred ground of Qingmiao Palace, it holds countless connections to it. She aimed to ensure this competition would leverage the right time, place, and people!

To completely crush the Spirit Clan's future destiny!

Within Wangbei Valley, figures thronged. In the skies above, the spiritual energy of nature seemed frozen.

The Qingmiao Domain, Jingyuan Domain, Liuyun Domain, Changfeng Domain—these four Great Domains located in or near the Northern Boundary all sent their Divine Concealments and Divine Presences to attend.

This competition led by Qingmiao Palace, though initially meant to bolster Zhu Nanzhi, had now completely become a contest for destiny between the Human and Spirit Clans in the Northern Boundary.

Especially a "Soul Technique," enough to pique the curiosity of the powerful Divine Concealments.

It is said that "the Human Clan is the spirit of all things," relying on balance in essence, Qi, and spirit.

No other race possesses these three talents as the Human Clan does.

The Demon Clan is strong in physical form, the Spirit Clan excels in the divine soul...

Although the Human Clan is physically inferior to the Demon Clan, and their soul is not as strong as the Spirit Clan, and even their affinity to nature's spiritual energy is lower than most races, only the Human Clan can achieve accomplishments in essence, Qi, and spirit.

Therefore, the "Soul Book" holds significant allure for Human Clan cultivators.

Putting aside how the Spirit Clan can keep a divine soul lingering in the world even when the physical body is destroyed using the "Soul Book," merely the enhancements in perception and flawless restoration of a damaged divine soul through a "Soul Technique" is enough to attract countless cultivators.

Thus, after the Spirit Clan wagered the "Soul Book," all the Divine Concealments and Divine Presences from the Human Clan's Northern Territory either emerged or returned for this moment.

Because... the odds of victory were too high.

Not to mention Xiao Yinruo broke through to Divine Concealment, just that the competition's location was in the Qingmiao Domain. With the connection between Xiao Yinruo's Tao and the Qingmiao Domain itself, the chances of losing were minimal.

Even considering the worst-case scenario, if the Spirit Clan lost and reneged, this battle would still significantly weaken the Spirit Clan's destiny; advancing north past Dingbei Pass was only a matter of time, making a glimpse of the "Soul Book's" mysteries also only a matter of time.

Therefore, eight Divine Concealments and over twenty Divine Presences from the four Great Domains of the Northern Boundary all hastened here.

Of course, before coming over, they invariably used various means to stabilize their rear guard to prevent any disruptions from opportunists.

Although after the demise of the Wuji Demon Sect, no powerful Demon Sect has risen, the remnants of the Wuji Demon Sect have not been eradicated, and the Five Sects and Seven Schools have gradually relaxed their blockade on the matter of possession by the Upper Realm; thus, stabilizing the rear is absolutely necessary.

Upon completing these steps, they arrived at Dingbei Pass.

However, upon arrival, the situation did not escalate into the anticipated direct confrontation.

The Spirit Clan's Spirit Saints and Spirit Emperors, who initiated the rule change, stood outside Dingbei Pass, displaying a grand aura but stopping at just the right point.

Casualties?

Not to mention 'death,' there wasn't even any bloodshed; only spiritual power was expended, but this amount was negligible.

As a result, the Immortals of the Human Clan realized they had somewhat overestimated the Spirit Clan this time.

At Dingbei Pass, the Human Clan gambled on the present, while the Spirit Clan gambled on the future during this confrontation.

Above the Sky Dome, different Dao Domains flowed. Ordinarily, these Immortals might not be very close, and might have had past conflicts; yet now, these Dao Domains dispersed around Wangbei Valley like an impenetrable wall, guarding against pressure from the Spirit Clan and other clans.

Among the Human Clan, they excel at dealing with the Spirit Clan and other races of the Northern Boundary.

At the forefront, the Qingmiao Palace Master Xiao Yinruo, clad in pure white, sat cross-legged in the sky like a bright moon. The Forget Love Dao Domain flowed around her like water, and the Immortal Sword 'Still Water Runs Deep' lay across her legs, its edge glaringly exposed.

Beside her, a gaunt old lady stood silently, showing no expression.

Zhai Qiuye, the only Immortal of Qingmiao Palace who transitioned from the Forget Love Path to the Heartless Path and attained Divine Concealment.

She gazed at the Spirit Clan Clan Leader outside Dingbei Pass, transmitting her voice, "The Spirit Clan's target might be Nanzhi, but their intentions are too obvious, so it's also possible they are feigning in one direction while attacking another...

Be careful, so as not to get seriously injured."

In the Human Clan's Northern Boundary, the most worthy of the Spirit Clan's effort to seriously injure at any cost is Xiao Yinruo.

In the Divine Presence stage, she could rely on the power of a Domain to contend with the Spirit Clan's Clan Leader for a while. Now, although she just entered Divine Concealment, she is strong, and the Qingmiao Domain will strengthen with her.

Her Forget Love Path, though mild like a gentle stream, presents a magnificent scene akin to the vastness formed by the sea accommodating all rivers.

Xiao Yinruo nodded slightly; whether the Spirit Clan aimed at Nanzhi or intended a feigned attack, both were within her considerations.

Moreover, she had already prepared corresponding deployments.

It now depended on what tactics the Spirit Clan would employ.

Or perhaps... the methods of the Upper Realm.

Intelligence from Wandao Sect and Tianyan Pavilion had already revealed this: the Upper Realm had secretly dispatched Divine Presences and Demon Emperors here.
