Chapter 560 - 560 579 The Proud Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden

560: Chapter 579: The Proud Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden 560: Chapter 579: The Proud Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden “What a terrifying physical body!”

Below the stage, Nanji Xianweng’s face was solemn, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

If one listened closely, a tremble could be detected in his voice, indicating that his emotions were far from calm.

“This is getting interesting!”

Shen Tu coldly smiled, but a grave expression fleetingly crossed his eyes upon looking at Ye Xuan.

Clearly, the combat power demonstrated by Ye Xuan had led him to revise his understanding.

Sword Demon and Netherworld Daoist remained silent, their auras slightly disordered, their thoughts unknowable.

In the Taixiao Starry Sky, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, Ye Xuan’s expression was calm as if slaying Taiyang Heavenly Lord was merely a trivial matter, utterly unshaken by the event.

Walking down through the starry sky, Ye Xuan once again stood in the center of the Chaos Arena, with only three days left until the one-year term was completed.

From that moment onward, no one else dared to step onto the Chaos Arena, despite there being among the hundreds of great divine power wielders some who were from the Daluo Eighth Layer Heaven.

They feared suffering the same fate as Taiyang Heavenly Lord.

Clang!

As the year concluded, the bell rang, securing the last slot for Ye Xuan without creating any ripples.

As Ye Xuan descended from the Chaos Arena, Peng Demon approached him with a playful smile, speaking words of flattery.

Some Daluo Golden Immortals smiled at Ye Xuan, keeping a very humble demeanor and warmly greeting him.

The strong are revered as mountains, the weak crawl like ants; this is the unchanging law of Heaven and Earth.

The strong are always revered, and Ye Xuan fully embodied what it meant to be mighty!

In response to the friendly gestures from various Daluo Golden Immortals, Ye Xuan smiled and nodded.

After all, he was now honored as the Three Realms Emperor.

Attracting some divine power wielders to join the Heavenly Court was entirely beneficial to him.

Clang—— Clang—— Clang!

Three more bell tolls rang out, and the elderly woman reappeared in the center of the Chaos Arena.

“The first round of selection has ended, and sixteen Daoists have emerged victorious.

You have only seven days of rest; after seven days, the second round of decisive battles will begin.”

Boom, boom, boom!

As the stars shifted and Heaven and Earth transformed, the Chaos Arena dissolved from sight, and the various divine power wielders departed, awaiting the start of the second round in seven days.

…

Stars filled the sky, and the palace had no roof.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the center of the arena, bathed in the falling starlight that purified him from former dust, bestowing upon him an otherworldly and transcendent air.

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale!

Ye Xuan sat in meditation, his breath emitting Immortal Light as if weaving through inhalations and exhalations, further twisting the surrounding void.

He was cultivating the Undying Immortal Scripture, and examining his Daluo Immortal Body to determine how much it had advanced under the Taiyang Heavenly Fire.

Bang!

The void exploded with sound, the threads of energy dispersed, and Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes; the Daluo Immortal Light surrounding him dissipated, but as his eyes blinked open, a hint of indifferent ruthlessness fleetingly crossed his gaze.

“As the majestic Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden, and even a disciple of a Saint, you stoop to peeping at others’ cultivation; doesn’t this demean your status as the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden?” Ye Xuan spoke calmly, his eyes gazing toward the hall’s exterior.

“Hmph!”

A cold scoff came from outside the hall.

The Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden stepped in, dressed in white; her three thousand strands of black hair were styled into an elegant updo, and her skin was as pale and lustrous as creamed jade, giving off an exceptionally stunning and untouchable aura.

“I came openly—when did I ever peep at you?” The Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden’s face held pride, her voice slightly cold, looking down at Ye Xuan with a superior stance.

“You were hidden outside the hall for an hour, if that isn’t peeping, what is?” Ye Xuan looked up at the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden, his voice calm and unwavering, yet it caused her to blush, at a loss for a retort.

In fact, the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden herself did not understand why she felt compelled to spy on Ye Xuan; perhaps the shock from Ye Xuan earlier today was profound, driving her unconsciously to his Daoist arena, with immense curiosity about Ye Xuan growing in her heart.

Be it a mortal woman or a Nine Heavenly Fairy, aside from the difference in the level of their existence, at their core both were still women.

And when a woman feels curious about a man, it is a sign of impending surrender.

Today, the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden thought Ye Xuan was undoubtedly doomed, surely to be turned to ashes by the Taiyang Heavenly Fire.

In her despair, Ye Xuan emerged unscathed, instead obliterating the Radiant Heavenly Lord in the starry sky, a startling contrast that threw her mind into immense turmoil.

Nuwa had once told her that Ye Xuan was very likely the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint, which made her think Ye Xuan a worthy match, and her heart filled with great anticipation for him.

However, as Ye Xuan seemed destined to perish at the hands of the Radiant Heavenly Lord, all hope in the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden’s heart shattered; but when Ye Xuan refined the Taiyang Fire and killed the Radiant Heavenly Lord, her hope was reignited.

Her feelings surged tumultuously, as if she had traversed through a century.

This deepened her curiosity towards Ye Xuan, and she internally affirmed that he must be the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint.

But the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden was a woman of immense pride; she had every reason to be.

An Innate Taoist Body, birthed by the quintessence of Heaven and Earth, and additionally the closed-door disciple of Nuwa—when all these qualities combined, she never regarded any man from the Three Realms highly.

Until Ye Xuan defiled her purity and personally came to join this grand event with the intention to marry her, provoking an even greater pride in the heart of the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden.

“Ye Xuan, don’t forget, it was you who actively came to this grand event, you who wished to marry me.

To display such indifference now, isn’t that quite laughable?” The Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden spoke haughtily, hoping Ye Xuan would recognize her current status.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Xuan laughed.

He actually laughed, though his smile was full of disdain, his presence rising from the void, as he began walking toward the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden.

Thump—thump—thump.

Ye Xuan’s footsteps were light, yet they sent tremors through the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden’s heart, her breathing quickening, uncertain of what Ye Xuan approaching her meant.

“What…

what are you doing?”

The Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden instinctively stepped back several paces, her cool, composed face blushing deeply, her lips tightly pressed together as she gazed at Ye Xuan, her heart pounding violently, unintentionally displaying a vulnerable feminine side.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan walked up to the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden, only a fist’s distance separating them, an intensely masculine scent overwhelming her, causing her face to flush even more, like a collection of blushing stars.

Her eyes dared not meet Ye Xuan’s, as an intensely ambiguous atmosphere developed between them.

A mischievous smile curled the corners of Ye Xuan’s lips.

Amidst the Nine Heavenly Mysterious Maiden’s flustered expression, Ye Xuan slowly raised his right hand to caress her cheek.
