OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!-Chapter 444 - 420: Boundless Sea
The next moment, the snow mountain disappeared.
Golden Light Immortal Emperor and Chen Xuan both returned to their original places.
The people of Emperor Wan Hua looked at them with some curiosity.
"Golden Light, what happened?" Wan Hua was a bit puzzled: "Qiong Yu told me that this trial was extremely easy. She just needed to climb the mountain and then she effortlessly passed it. So, how come you two..."
Seeing the combination of Qiong Yu and Shi Nian pass through wasn't too surprising for Emperor Wan Hua.
After all, Golden Light has long been a Peak Immortal Emperor, and Qiong Yu, after hiding her strength for many years, showed the power to instantly kill Golden Light, naturally also a Peak Immortal Emperor.
Two Peak Immortal Emperors, along with another Immortal Emperor, even though they had a dead weight, had a high probability of passing through.
However, compared to Qiong Yu and Shi Nian's leisurely ease, the woeful state of Golden Light and Chen Xuan was somewhat baffling.
Golden Light couldn't help but glare at Qiong Yu coldly: "I don't know what happened either. On the way here, the Demon Beasts on the snow mountain relentlessly attacked me and Chen Xuan but seemed to completely bypass Qiong Yu."
Qiong Yu blinked, her face innocent: "That is indeed very strange. But I have no idea why."
"You don't know?" Golden Light gritted his teeth: "How could there be such unearned good fortune in this world! You must be hiding something."
"Are you suggesting that my Master... has control over the creatures on the snow mountain?" Shi Nian looked timidly defensive.
Golden Light was suddenly at a loss for words.
It had been ten thousand years.
Everyone knew that the Trial Lands couldn't be meddled with by external means.
But there was something clearly odd about Qiong Yu's situation.
Only Chen Xuan vaguely knew what was going on.
Under normal circumstances, the Trial Lands indeed cannot be manipulated.
However, his system had been acting sneaky lately, as if it had reached an agreement with a Supreme entity, which seemed to be directly connected to the Heavenly Dome Secret Realm. In order to reassure him to venture into the trial, the system had hinted to him that this entity could help him pass safely.
And that entity, indeed, had means.
But the system kept malfunctioning!
The protective measures didn't fall on him at all. Instead, it's possible they all went to Qiong Yu.
So, the person who should have been leisurely enjoying such ease should have been him!
Chen Xuan was beginning to doubt.
His system might very well be a spy planted by Qiong Yu!
Otherwise.
How could it keep failing whenever Qiong Yu was involved!
"Golden Light, this is the Heavenly Dome Secret Realm; who would be capable of manipulation here? You worry too much," Emperor Wan Hua said soothingly.
Golden Light Immortal Emperor's face looked somewhat ugly. He snorted coldly and said, "Even if she didn't manipulate anything, during this trial, I was the one who drew all the aggro. And as for the treasures of the snow mountain, I didn't catch sight of a single one. Qiong Yu, no matter what, we braved the trial together; those treasures should also have a share for me."
Qiong Yu raised an eyebrow.
Indeed, she had collected some treasures along the way.
But why on earth should she give any to Golden Light?
Qiong Yu spoke indifferently: "Sect Master, before we set off, it was stated that whoever obtains any treasure in the Secret Realm gets to keep them. Isn't this correct?"
Wan Hua was somewhat troubled: "That is true indeed, but Golden Light did indeed exert a lot of effort, perhaps..."
"Exerted a lot of effort? I think he provoked those snow mountain beasts, that's what." Qiong Yu didn't hesitate to retort: "If it were just me alone, maybe I could've even passed through easier."
Golden Light's face darkened, just as he was about to speak.
Qiong Yu cut him off directly: "If you're not convinced, why don't we draw weapons and settle this in battle!"
Fight?
How to fight?
He could never beat her before, let alone now when both Golden Light and Chen Xuan were covered in wounds and their strength severely depleted. A real fight would only invite humiliation.
Golden Light clenched his teeth and said coldly: "Let's see how long you can stay smug!"
"Just longer than you will suffice," Qiong Yu replied unwaveringly.
Golden Light snorted and turned his head away, not daring to mention the matter of the treasures anymore.
Even Emperor Wan Hua acted as if nothing had happened: "This challenge has been overcome. Come, let's move forward."
Qiong Yu nodded slightly and casually followed.
Her exterior was cold and proud, yet her heart was thumping fiercely.
She couldn't resist sending a telepathic message to Shi Nian: "Xiao Hua, you're right. Being tougher actually keeps people from messing with you."
Qiong Yu was also filled with emotion.
She used to think only about avoiding trouble, so she always kept a low profile, retreating whenever possible in the face of conflict.
But what had her concessions led to?
It led to Chen Xuan's public demand for marriage.
It led to others gleefully watching it happen.
Now that she had a bad temper, confronting people on sight, no one dared to treat her likewise.
After all, the root of all these changes was strength.
The seemingly unfathomable power she now possessed was all thanks to Shi Nian's help in the shadows.
Someday, she would inevitably turn such strength into reality!
After crossing the snow mountains, they faced a stretch of the Boundless Sea.
Who will take the lead this time?
Even Emperor Wan Hua hesitated for a moment.
Everyone knew that pioneering was the most dangerous.
But previously, Qiong Yu had passed through with ease and claimed all the treasures for herself.
What if it's just as easy this time?
But what if it's particularly difficult this time??
Golden Light Immortal Emperor suddenly glanced at Qiong Yu: "Emperor Qiong Yu is so powerful, why don't you try this time, too?"
Golden Light had his own scheming, for he was still recovering from serious injuries and his strength had greatly diminished, putting him at a disadvantage.
He should have been the one shielding Qiong Yu from calamities at the snowy mountain earlier. This time, he wanted to see if she could still pass through as seamlessly!
"Should I go?" Qiong Yu seemed hesitant: "Is anyone willing to join me?"
Golden Light quickly said: "You can also bring your other disciple with you."
Ling Yun is currently only at the Profound Immortal Realm!
How could Qiong Yu possibly get through with two burdens to carry?
Golden Light was trying to corner Qiong Yu into a desperate situation!
"There's no need for that..." Wan Hua began to mediate.
Qiong Yu, having received Shi Nian's telepathic message, replied with a smile: "It's fine if I go. But this time, if my two disciples and I work hard to pass through, surely no one will force us to give up the treasures we find, right?"
"If you can pass through, naturally, the treasures are all yours," Golden Light said ruthlessly.
He just doubted that Qiong Yu would be so lucky.
"Then I have no objections." Qiong Yu turned to Emperor Wan Hua: "What does the Sect Master think?"
"Sect Master, since Emperor Qiong Yu is so confident, perhaps let her give it a try," Golden Light Immortal Emperor said sarcastically.
Emperor Wan Hua's eyes flickered, seemingly helpless: "Alright, fine. Qiong Yu, then you go and try first."
Qiong Yu agreed, leading Shi Nian and Ling Yun directly into the Barrier.
Emperor Wan Hua's gaze shifted subtly.
She did not understand why Qiong Yu agreed to enter the trial.
But regardless of the outcome, she wouldn't lose out.
If the trial is broken through, the pace would accelerate.
Maybe this time, they might reach the core area.
If they fail to break through... then Qiong Yu's prospects are grim.
Qiong Yu was too mysterious, and her overwhelming advantage over Golden Light made Emperor Wan Hua somewhat wary.
The number one expert of the Wanhua Sect could only be her!
If Qiong Yu obediently met her end here, that would save her a lot of trouble.
