Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 724 - 353: The Fierce Power of Black Dragon Celestial Extremes, the Statue Sealing the God_2
"Doesn’t matter if there’s some exaggeration, it’s still a Celestial Being!"
Xiao said excitedly, her tone full of pride, as if she was the one who just defeated that Celestial Being.
Seeing Senior Sister Xiao like this, Su Tu didn’t want to spoil the fun and said with a smile, "I owe it all to you, Senior Sister. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even been able to join the sect, let alone gain my current strength."
Hearing this, Xiao’s smile widened, her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking very proud: "Of course! Do you even know who I am?"
The two joked, feeling a rare joy of reunion between siblings.
However, this wasn’t the place to chat. Soon enough, under Xiao’s guidance, they arrived on a planet.
The planet was lifeless, with no living creatures present.
The two reached a primordial forest, surrounded by a foggy haze.
In Xiao’s hand appeared a compass shimmering with starlight. After glancing at it, she led Su Tu to a cave.
Inside the cave was a hidden paradise, with a waterfall cascading from the top and various peculiar fruits around.
"Sit, make yourself comfortable."
Xiao casually sat on a stone chair and then began to gather the True Qi around her, slowly harmonizing her meridians as streams of True Qi flowed from the Hundred Acupoints.
She started to fill her empty acupoints.
Su Tu also sat down, glancing around the cave. Everything in it seemed carved by human hands, indicating a Human Race design from an aesthetic viewpoint.
Before long, Xiao’s True Qi was restored, and the wounds on her shoulder healed completely, as if the mist had turned to flesh with no scars left behind.
Such a technique of turning mist into flesh was something Su Tu had never heard of, and he found it intriguing.
It had to be said that all of Su Tu’s senior brothers and sisters were extraordinary.
Xiao opened her eyes, calmed the True Qi within her, then stood up and walked to Su Tu’s side, casually popping a fruit that resembled a pebble into her mouth.
"Little Junior Brother, why are you here?"
Xiao asked.
Su Tu explained all about his dealings with the Wang Family.
"We were all cast out of Guanjiangkou, and when I came to, I found myself in this Star River."
"Senior Sister, where exactly are we? We can’t even connect to the Federation network."
Senior Sister Xiao explained.
"This is an abandoned Star River, with resources exhausted, stars nearing the end of their lifespan. Forget about signals, the Federation’s map doesn’t even record this place."
"Unless it’s Martial Artists seeking treasures, almost no outsiders come here. Only those clinging to past glories inhabit this Star River."
After hearing Xiao’s words, Su Tu nodded in understanding. It made sense now.
This Star River indeed had its oddities, as even the planet beneath their feet was shrouded in death energy.
"Senior Sister, are you here treasure hunting too?" Su Tu asked curiously.
It seemed that Senior Sister Xiao really enjoyed treasure hunting and adventuring in various places.
"I’m here to thank you for reviving our Dao Lineage, finding you a meeting gift," Xiao replied with a grin.
Su Tu was stunned; he hadn’t expected Senior Sister Xiao to come here because of him.
Before he could say anything,
Xiao reached into a cloud of fog beside her and pulled out a bronze statue.
"Catch!"
Xiao tossed the statue towards Su Tu.
Seeing this, Su Tu quickly reached out and caught the statue.
It was a statue of a woman, with a face shrouded in a mist, making her features indistinct.
Her body was covered with wailing human faces, forming a skirt, with a copper candle held in her left hand.
The statue was somewhat eerie but lacked any sinister feeling, instead exuding a sacred aura.
"For this thing, I almost became someone’s Princess Consort..."
Xiao said.
"Senior Sister Xiao, what is this thing?"
"According to those folks, this is their holy artifact, a... sleeping god!"
Hearing this, a glint flashed in Su Tu’s eyes.
"A sleeping god?" he asked, puzzled.
"Correct, a sleeping god," Xiao said seriously.
"With the collapse of this Star River, the beings that refused to leave turned into monsters, and the original form of this statue was the deity of this Star River."
"Of course, all the stories were deciphered by me."
Xiao spoke carefreely, "I was originally troubled about what to give you."
"But when I saw this, I remembered that Huzi told me you love these mysterious things."
"Although I haven’t figured out what this thing does, I feel it’s not simple."
"Those monsters feed on humans, so giving their god as a gift seems reasonable..."
As she spoke, Xiao looked innocently at Su Tu with big, watery eyes.
No wonder those monsters were so agitated earlier; it turns out Xiao stole their god.
Seeing it this way, that ’king’ indeed had a great tolerance, as he still wanted to marry the culprit even after his faith was stolen.
"Reasonable! Totally reasonable!"
Su Tu gave Senior Sister Xiao a thumbs-up.
He didn’t expect that his little hobby had been remembered by Senior Sister Xiao.
Though he didn’t say it, a warm current flowed in his heart.
"Do you like the gift?"
Xiao smiled at Su Tu, her eyes curved and gentle like autumn waters, a look she only showed when facing fellow sect members.
