CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: TSK TSK TSK, OLD TURTLE, ARE YOU HERE TO BE FUNNY?

Huo Lin Nana has a deep admiration for the strong.

Gu Qijue’s formidable strength has already earned her approval.

That’s why she allows him to call her Nana.

If it were anyone else, who would dare call her that?

"Not bad strength!" Gu Qijue praised without reservation.

If it weren’t for his presence here, absorbing energy from 7 PM last night to after 3 AM today, reaching the peak of Tier Seven, it might not have been easy to face Huo Lin Nana.

The energy needed for Gu Qijue’s ascension is three to four times what Cute Treasure and his companions require.

But his strength is naturally several times more formidable.

Gu Qijue at the peak of Tier Seven can at least battle someone at the peak of Tier Eight.

Huo Lin Nana’s strength is at most at the early stage of Tier Eight, nearing mid-stage.

In front of Gu Qijue, she naturally doesn’t have much power to resist.

"President Gu, is that the Star-Sucking Main Tree that grows monsters?"

Huo Lin Nana looked with curiosity at the towering Star-Sucking Main Tree not far away and said, "I wonder if it will bear Star Fruit again today..."

Gu Qijue spoke with certainty, "It will!"

Why is he so certain?

The reason is simple.

Intuition.

This kind of intuition is very real.

"Really?" Huo Lin Nana’s eyes lit up, and she said with some surprise.

"There’s still three or four hours until dawn; let’s wait here!"

Gu Qijue said no more, stepping directly to appear in the sky a hundred meters high, where the terrifying Black Dragon Soul emerged from his body, devouring four Star Monsters in one gulp, then consuming a few more in just a few seconds.

Within Huo Lin Nana’s body, her supercells resonated with the air, breaking free from gravity. She flew to Gu Qijue’s side, sitting cross-legged as she sized him up and said, "I’m really envious of you, President Gu, being able to devour these monsters to evolve..."

"If you’re envious, you can give it a try!" Gu Qijue showed a slight, amused smile.

"I don’t dare..." Huo Lin Nana pouted and said, "Isn’t your devouring of these monsters the same as consuming those Star Fruits?"

Gu Qijue nodded slightly, "More or less!"

"Ah! If only I could devour them too." Huo Lin Nana’s mature and charming face was filled with envy.

"I still have two thousand Star Fruits here, for you!"

With a thought, a large pile of Star Fruits floated in front of Huo Lin Nana.

"Wow!!"

Huo Lin Nana’s sensuous lips slightly parted as she exclaimed in surprise and gratitude, "Thank you, President Gu!!"

Then, she grabbed one and took a bite, astonished to find that the effect of this Star Fruit was much better than that of the Mutated Fruit.

After that, as Gu Qijue devoured the monsters, she ate the Star Fruits.

Both were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Before daybreak, Gu Qijue felt he could reach Tier Eight.

At the same time, under the night sky, below Dragon Cloud Mountain.

Chu Yuan appeared here.

After arriving, he didn’t pause.

He climbed the mountain directly.

He came to a very secretive barrier that required True Qi to activate, stepping inside in one stride.

Passing through this barrier, the view ahead changed dramatically.

The true Dragon Cloud Mountain appeared before him.

Above it, pavilions and towers stood in the misty glow under the moonlight.

Here, one could also feel the subtle fluctuations of Spiritual Qi.

Familiar with this path, Chu Yuan headed straight for Zhengqi Hall.

The mountain guards, upon seeing him, did not stop or question him.

If we were to talk about seniority.

They would have to address Chu Yuan as Master Ancestor.

Because the legacy Chu Yuan received was that of several former grandmasters of Dragon Cloud Mountain, Zhang Fenglei’s legacy.

In terms of seniority, he’s counted as Zhang Fenglei’s disciple, sharing the same level as the current old immortals of Dragon Cloud Mountain.

Chu Yuan climbed the mountain and soon reached a wooden cabin in a bamboo forest.

The air there was exceptionally fresh, permeated with a dense wave of Spiritual Qi. A mere breath could rid one of many minor ailments.

Outside the cabin, Chu Yuan bowed and said, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother requests you to descend the mountain once..."

"Though the outside world is chaotic, with your strength, you should be able to handle the situation."

A very ancient voice, full of years, came from inside the cabin.

"Ah! I indeed can’t control the current situation well. The matter is like this..."

Chu Yuan sighed and relayed the events of the outside world in detail.

"Such things actually happened... It seems quite serious!"

The aged voice contained a hint of gravity.

Chu Yuan smiled wryly and said, "Senior Brother, please descend the mountain to protect me once. I’m afraid that if the War God Group’s Aloos is in Cloud City, you can block him for me while I test Gu Qijue’s strength."

"Gu Qijue, I can kill him!"

At that moment, the cabin door slowly opened, and out walked an old man wearing a Taoist robe, with hair and beard all white, exuding an ethereal, immortal aura.

Chu Yuan shook his head seriously, "No, Senior Brother, even if you can kill him, he surely has means to counterattack. At that time, it might hurt you. Let’s wait for those few powerful beings from the deep sea to make a move. I just want to gauge Gu Qijue’s strength and then leave."

The old man thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "That would be fine. Let’s see if those powerful beings from the deep sea are capable of eliminating Gu Qijue. Let’s go, down the mountain!"

This is human scheming.

The three beings in the deep sea are straightforward. When faced with threats to this planet, there’s no hesitation. When something needs to be killed, they go directly. It’s just that they’re all in a critical breakthrough phase.

Shortly after four in the morning.

The old turtle arrived at Cloud City Center.

Standing on top of a tall building, it gazed gravely at the towering Star-Sucking Main Tree piercing the clouds.

It also saw Gu Qijue and Huo Lin Nana, who were devouring the Star-Sucking Monsters.

But in the next moment, it turned around wanting to flee.

For Gu Qijue’s voice rang out at this moment:

"Aren’t you the old turtle? Don’t be in a hurry to leave."

Boom—

As Gu Qijue finished speaking, the air around the old turtle was compressed by a very powerful force, which then transformed into a balloon that enveloped it, confining it before Gu Qijue within a few blinks.

"Dammit, I was careless." The old turtle was horrified in its heart, but its expression remained unchanged as it looked at the person before it, the culprit behind the Star-Sucking Tree’s growth into the Star-Sucking Main Tree.

"It’s actually an old turtle. I wonder how long it’s lived. President Gu, why not stew it? It surely boosts health." Huo Lin Nana said slyly.

"No, killing me won’t benefit you in any way." The old turtle’s face darkened.

Gu Qijue looked at it coldly and said, "Those three terrifying beings from the deep sea, when will they approximately arrive?"

What Gu Qijue dreads the most right now are those three terrifying beings from the deep sea.

"Within a month, Black Dragon Emperor, for the sake of this planet, you... should just commit suicide, and then release Mu Yuxin!" The old turtle said directly, wielding the moral high ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk, old turtle, are you here to joke?" Huo Lin Nana looked at it as if she was looking at an idiot.

"I am never morally coerced, even if your divination is spot on."

Gu Qijue smirked, "Whether others die or not is none of my business. As long as those I care about can survive, even if it means this world is destroyed, let it be destroyed."
