Chapter 855: Chapter 25: Nine Orifices Opened Jade Gate Territory

Before she could finish, Qi Xinzhu massaged her temple and waved her hand to interrupt: “As long as you succeed, it’s good. Now that you have reached the Third Rank cultivation, you can barely follow in the footsteps of your predecessors and traverse the world. Remember to practice diligently, do not slack off, and most importantly, do not bring shame to our Female Void Palace’s reputation.”

“Yes! This disciple will heed the master’s teachings!”

Xie Xiaochan lowered her head, her frown barely noticeable.

It seems the master is very tired and not really interested in talking to me…

Well, that’s normal. The Master has been protecting me for so long. She must have been worn out. Given her proud nature and as an elder, she naturally could not show it in front of me…

Thinking this, Xie Xiaochan felt both grateful and reluctant to disturb further. Immediately and “considerately” citing the need to consolidate her current state, she left after gaining her master’s permission, quickly exiting the cave and heading to her own place.

Watching the hurried departure of her weakest but “most talented” apprentice ever, Qi Xinzhu’s brow revealed unmistakable confusion.

She caressed her abdomen, muttering under her breath with a slight hint of shame:

“Who left such a hint?”

“How did she know…know that I recently suffered hidden injuries and menstrual disorders?”

“Could it be it’s even more severe than I originally anticipated?”

“Someone who made me unable to sense it, who could it be? Could it be a divine descent?”

“Yet I did not perform any rituals…”

Whisper after whisper, the doubts silently echoed within the cave, resembling mysterious murmurs.

Finally, they turned into a sighing murmur: “Ah, the legend of the Ghost Baby in the Mother-child River…”

…

…

Penglai, in Bai Yujing, No.12 Lower District.

As the sun set, the endless mist dissipated, and Xu Shu descended from an infinite height, ending the legend and returning to reality.

“With so many Heavenly Defiance evaluations this time, I might not need to help Wang Teng break through to the Second Rank and could still obtain legendary artifacts?!”

He felt a slight thrill, sweeping his gaze forward.

In the void, the Tai Chu Scroll rustled, displaying streams of information:

“Calculating your current legendary achievements…”

“This time, by following Xie Xiaochan, you entered her deepest, untouched subconscious world and achieved: Mother and Child as One!”

“In the subconscious world, you witnessed different postures. They were ever-changing and seductive, tempting you, disturbing you, accompanying you, yet you remained steadfast and unyielding!—You achieved: Curse Embryo Vajra and Seven Xie Xiaochans!”

“To protect your mother, you fought against secret and taboo enemies on the battlefield, defying heavens, devouring everything, elevating the form of life to a higher realm!—You achieved: Devouring Heaven and Earth!”

“Initially wanting to trouble your mother and then your master, you are a rebellious disciple deceiving your master and ancestors—You achieved: Loud Laughter of Filial Piety!”

“You swallowed all the Golden Cicadas and released them all, transmitting them in a special way—You achieved: Nine Orifices Open, Six Roots Pure!”

“When killing the insect corpses, you could have taken advantage and occupied the Wa Palace by acknowledging Qi Xinzhu as your powerful godmother, but you didn’t because you are a genuine gentleman! Why complain of the weeping willow above the temple? Curse Fetus does not cross Yumen Pass!—You achieved: Three Passes Home Without Entering!

…

“Final evaluation: Heaven and Earth cannot bind your body, myriad calamities cannot take your life!”

“You faced the gifts of a taboo existence fearlessly and aggressively, knocked them down to kneel and devoured them completely, the appetite is grand, need not say more!”

“Your heart does not compromise, your actions are not constrained, you are the true legend of this world!”

“You have repeatedly triggered the keyword ‘Heavenly Defiance’, your reward level for this occasion is advanced to the maximum tier.”

“You obtained Mystical Chapter: Taotie (Legend)!”

“Hint: The Mystical Chapter is an object of heavenly creation, available for a second engraving on a Curse Seal, adding an additional entry; each Curse Seal can use a Mystical Chapter only once, please use it cautiously.”

“The entry [Taotie] belongs to the path of Warrior.”
