Chapter 533: Chapter 507 Little Devil_1

Heaven Treasure Sect, Li Yuqing.

Pure Land, Wu Sujin.

The two women, both from the Xi Rang Continent, shone brightly in the world with their cultivation talents.

In Pang Jian’s perception, because Pure Land and Heaven Treasure Sect had always been on good terms, he assumed that all disciples under the two sects were harmonious with one another.

However, the confrontation between Li Yuqing and Wu Sujin, sharp as a needle against wheat, instantly shattered his presumption.

"Does your Pure Land also intend to covet a Blessed Land Cave Heaven in this Fragment Land like Li Chu from the Desolated Terrains?"

With the Sky-splitting Divine Sword on her back, Li Yuqing grew more beautiful as she aged, her figure developing splendidly.

Her graceful and exquisite curves were particularly prominent under a simple bright yellow robe, and at this moment, her clear eyes brimmed with anger, and her beautiful face wore a chilliness as she questioned, "Wu Sujin, even if your Shifu has not told you about the relationship between Sword Tower and our Li Family,"

"you surely recognize this Sky-splitting Divine Sword, don’t you?"

A Sword Intent capable of tearing apart heaven and earth radiated from the sword behind her.

Once the Sword Intent appeared, even the Origin Demon Sword placed by Pang Jian in the wooden house of Cloud Wilderness suddenly became alert.

The Source Demon, comprehending the Demon Tao Spell, transmitted a message: "Why has the Sky-splitting Sword come?"

"It’s okay; they’re one of us." Pang Jian signaled for It to continue comprehending the tao.

"Oh."

The Source Demon fell silent once again.

"Wu Sujin, ever since I obtained this Divine Sword from Sword Tower, I have been considered half a disciple of the Sword Tower! You, coming here to claim this Fragment Land Cave Heaven, is making an enemy of me, Li Yuqing!"

"Wu Sujin, I urge you to leave quickly and stop lingering in this Fragment Land!"

Li Yuqing had hurried over from the Desolated Terrains after hearing the peculiar news about a Fragment Land hidden in the Second Realm, which was related to Sword Tower.

She had made some inquiries with insiders from Sword Tower and found out that this Fragment Land actually belonged to Pang Jian. To prevent others from harboring bad intentions like Li Chu, she had rushed over in haste.

Sword Tower, having shown signs of a notable decline in the status among the Human Race due to Pu Zhaotian’s failure to break through to True God,

and she, as the Master of the Sky-splitting Sword and a representative of the Heaven Treasure Li Family, only needed to stay in the Panshi Fragment Land. Even if Li Chu were to come again, he would have to weigh his options carefully.

Intending to stand guard for the Panshi Fragment Land, she had misconceived upon seeing Wu Sujin.

"An enemy of you? I really don’t know what’s constantly on your mind. Li Yuqing, have you practiced swordplay to the point of sillyness? Pure Land has never had any intention of seizing Sword Tower’s territory," Wu Sujin said with a scoff, a look of disdain, lightly tugging at the corner of her glossy lips, and spoke, "I have secret affairs to discuss with Pang Jian, please step aside."

"Secret affairs?" Li Yuqing was quite surprised, with a dangerous glimmer in her eyes, she asked, "Pang Jian, what secrets do you two share?"

"This..."

After coughing once, Pang Jian hesitated for a moment, then was about to reveal the truth.

For some reason, whenever he faced Li Yuqing, he felt inclined to share many things with her.

The fond memories of the past, when he and the young girl ate and drank together in the dark alleys of the Fifth Realm, the joy they shared talking in the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land, always brought a warmth to his heart when he thought of them.

He also knew that Li Yuqing was trustworthy.

Even after knowing the origins of the Cloud Marsh Corrosion Boundary Vine, Li Yuqing had spared the Divine Tree, associated with "filth and evil," simply because of the name Pang Jian.

All these memories flashed through his mind, and Pang Jian began to explain, "I..."

"Do not speak!" Wu Sujin interrupted sharply, her voice serious, "The matter of my junior sister is a secret closely guarded by Pure Land."

"Junior sister? Do you mean the one who has received the Heaven Phoenix heritage and has been kept tightly under wraps by all of you?" Li Yuqing’s curiosity intensified; she glanced at Wu Sujin and then turned to Pang Jian, "Does it have anything to do with what you’re discussing with her?"

Pang Jian nodded.

"How do you know her junior sister?" A flicker of enigmatic light passed through Li Yuqing’s eyes.

That light even caused Pang Jian to feel uneasy; he feared Li Yuqing might misunderstand something, so, regardless of Wu Sujin’s opposition, he said, "Her junior sister is named Pang Lin, my sister."

After speaking, he added, "By blood!"

The glint in Li Yuqing’s eyes that had caused unease in Pang Jian disappeared instantly.

"Oh, then you two go ahead and talk."

Li Yuqing, who had come with fierce determination, thinking Pure Land was scheming after the "Thunder Cave Heavens," immediately realized it was all a misunderstanding.

Being from Xi Rang Continent as well, Heaven Treasure Li Family was, of course, well aware of the girl carefully nurtured by Pure Land, who indeed came from the Lower Realm.

Since she was Pang Jian’s biological sister and considering Pure Land and Sword Tower’s already good relationship, it was impossible for her to take advantage like Li Chu when Pu Zhaotian was injured and in decline.

With that, she floated out of the deep valley.

"Greetings to Grandfather Mu."

At the entrance of the valley, Li Yuqing greeted Mu Aichuan, who sat motionlessly, with a warm smile, "I came in such a hurry that I forgot to greet you."

"Since it’s you who has come, you’re one of our Sword Tower’s own, so there’s no need for formalities." The hunched old man smiled warmly and spoke softly, "That girl from Pure Land, who’s not the master of the Divine Sword, she’s the outsider here."

"Of course!"

Li Yuqing, brimming with excitement, set up chairs outside the valley and pulled Mu Aichuan to enjoy her private stash of exquisite food and wine.

"What exactly is the situation with this Fragment Land? How did it suddenly bring about three Blessed Land Cave Heavens? Grandfather Mu, how long have you been stationed here?"

She bombarded him with all her questions in one go.

Normally cold towards others, Mu Aichuan seemed like a different person in her presence.

Mu Aichuan smiled affectionately, unabashedly eating the spiced dishes from the table, and said, "Yuqing girl, regarding this Fragment Land, Pang Jian knows it the best. As for this old bone of mine, I’m just responsible for guarding one of the Blessed Land Cave Heavens to ensure that it forms properly."

"Then I’ll just ask him directly later," Li Yuqing said with a smile, passing the wine.

...

In the depths of the valley.

Wu Sujin made clear that Pure Land would use the Space Teleportation Array to first send Pang Lin to the Sword Tower on Qitian Continent.

After that, they would use the Teleportation Array in the Sword Tower to make Pang Lin appear here instantaneously.

This would minimize the leakage of Pang Lin’s aura.

As a Heaven Phoenix inheritor with the Thunderbolt Profound Argumentation condensed in his body, Pang Lin would draw too much attention.

Pure Land didn’t want people to know that Pang Lin, naturally close to the Thunderbolt Tao, secretly left Pure Land for another place.

They feared the Dragon Cave might covertly instigate other powers to harm him.

Having settled the matter, Wu Sujin changed the subject, "How do you know that little monster from the Li Family?"

"Little monster?" Pang Jian was startled.

"She ascended to the Extinction Realm at such a young age; if she’s not a monster, what is she? When I was her age, I was still in the Soul Wandering Realm. In terms of talent for cultivation, she is a cut above me," Wu Sujin said, her lips curving with a hint of bitterness. "I almost forgot, you’re a monster yourself. You’re around her age, yet you also possess the cultivation level of the Extinction Realm."

"And there’s my little sister..."

The more she thought about it, the more despondent she felt, murmuring, "The most terrifying tribulations often create the strongest geniuses. You few are the prodigies of this era, and once you ascend to be True Gods, you will surely surpass the current True Gods."

"I’ve always believed that we, the Human Race, can win the final victory; it’s because whenever we face desperate adversities, there always emerges extraordinary geniuses that can shock the heavens and earth!"

"Seeing you all emerge dazzlingly and soar along the way, that’s how I feel there’s always hope for us."

...

Half a day later, in The Frozen Land.

"This is the third Blessed Land Cave Heaven."

Standing in front of a glacier, Pang Jian explained to Li Yuqing while fiddling with a silver wine jug, "This Frozen Land was originally adjacent to the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, also deep into the Mysterious Fog."

"It was the Heart of Winter, a Divine Artifact left by the Ice Demon, that enabled me to move this fragment of land, bringing it out of the Mysterious Fog," Pang Jian continued after a sip of wine.

"The peculiarity of Panshi Fragment Land is also due to the Mysterious Turtle underground, because of the Mysterious Turtle Shield left by a Level 10 Old Black Turtle."

But Pang Jian did not disclose to Li Yuqing the matter of the Mysterious Turtle below being a rebirth of an old Level 10 Black Turtle.

Almost everything else, he had barely kept hidden.

"Mysterious Turtle Shield, I heard it was always on the Saint Spirit Continent. The Mysterious Turtle below gained this miraculous object there and brought it to the Panshi Fragment Land, which resulted in the creation of three Blessed Land Cave Heavens?" Li Yuqing pondered for a moment, then said, "I heard that it was the Old Rock Bear who obtained the Mysterious Turtle Shield and thereby killed the Four Pupils Spirit Fox."

The Li Family had backed the Four Pupils Spirit Fox to ascend to Demon God, but because they interfered with the internal affairs of the Demon Race, Long Yan made a special trip to the Demon Abyss Continent and attacked Li Jie.

Ultimately, the Four Pupils Spirit Fox faced defeat, and the Old Rock Bear seized the opportunity to ascend to Demon God, leading to the failure of the Li Family’s schemes.

It was only then that she realized that Pang Jian had silently supported the Old Rock Bear’s victory.

Pang Jian helped the Rock Bear, while she, on behalf of the Li Family, aided the Four Pupils Spirit Fox, resulting in the Rock Bear becoming a Demon God.

Looking at it this way, she had essentially engaged in a covert battle with Pang Jian, and she... was the losing side.

Realizing she was the one who lost, Li Yuqing’s mood suddenly soured, and she huffed, "So it was you who ruined my plans!"

Giving Pang Jian a fierce glare, she continued, "The treasures born from these three Blissful Sacred Lands of Thunderbolts, Plants, and Cold Ice, if your Sword Tower cannot use them, you must sell them to the Heaven Treasure Sect! Also, the members of our Li Family must be granted the right to cultivate in the Blessed Land Cave Heavens!"

Pang Jian smiled slightly, "You can discuss these matters with your father and my Shifu."

"Grandfather Mu said that this Fragment Land belongs entirely to you, Pang Jian." Li Yuqing flashed a sly smile, her lips gleaming, "Why involve those old timers in our business? How many times have I saved you? Didn’t I keep the Corrosion Boundary Vine in Cloud Marsh a secret for you?"

Seeing her put it this way, Pang Jian could only agree helplessly.

"How come your sister is kept so well-hidden by Pure Land?" Li Yuqing asked curiously.

"She was born with Thunder Vortex, making rapid progress on the Thunderbolt path, and is expected to ascend to True God through this Divine Tao," Pang Jian replied candidly.

The bright and insightful Li Yuqing caught on immediately, "Then she, and you too, including Pure Land, are under a lot of pressure, right?"

Pang Jian gave a wry smile.
