Chapter 109: Concubine Lan’s Mortal Enemy
Golden Lotus Mountain was at the west of the Divine Firmament Small World. It was at the position of the Metal element.
There was a special array set upon this Spirit Mountain that could convert normal Spirit Stone Mines.
The Spirit Stone Mines would then naturally emit dense metal-attribute Spirit Qi to help them cultivate.
The metal-attribute disciples in Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were mostly on the Golden Lotus Mountain, and it was bustling with people.
Currently, a few true disciples were chatting on the Golden Lotus Mountain.
A: “Have you heard? Our sacred ground’s Saint for the next 100 years has already been chosen.”
B: “Huh, the Saint has been chosen? Who is it? First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, or Third Senior Sister?”
A: “Third Senior Sister is the Saintess, you fool. My cousin is quite close to Haoran Mountain’s Prime Disciple, Senior Brother Li Yunfeng. He said that Senior Brother Li had told him the new Saint is not First Senior Brother nor Second Senior Brother, but an outsider.”
B: “Outsider? How is it possible? If a person who is not a disciple of our sect becomes the Saint, how can he convince people to accept him?”
C: “Second Senior Brother is amiable and easily approachable, while First Senior Brother’s cultivation level is astonishing. Any of them could become the Saint, but an outsider? On what basis?”
A: “You don’t know this right! I heard Senior Brother Li say that the new Saint has exceptional skills. He is proficient in seeking and assessing ores, and all the Spirit Ores that he chose were frighteningly accurate. He had found the token of our sect’s Sacred Leader, the Drager Pendant, in a certain Spirit Ore shop.”
Upon sensing the longing in his Junior and Senior Brothers’ eyes, Disciple A became more and more excited as he spoke.
A: “Do you know the rules of our sect?”
B: “Senior Brother, please tell us.”
A: “Tsk tsk, the rules are quite amazing! According to the rules of our sect, there is an amazing heritage within the Drager Pendant. The person who finds the Drager Pendant could become the Saint and marry and Saintess!”
B: “OMG! The rules are this overbearing? What if our Saintess is unwilling?”
A: “So what if she is unwilling? It’s the rules of our sect, and to the sacred ground, the rules are greater than anything else. Let me tell you a secret. I heard my cousin say that our Saintess has already dual cultivated with the new Saint.”
C: “Sss, is it really true? Which kind of dual cultivation? Is it the type First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother practice, or the other type?”
A: “What nonsense! It’s a man and woman together dual cultivating! Which type do you think it is? Seemingly, someone even heard sounds.”
B: “But seeing how our Saintess was before, she doesn’t seem like someone who would yield to a man!”
A: “What else can she do? Our ancestors’ rules are there, so Senior Sister could only yield!”
C: “That’s too much! Just because of the ancestors’ rules, our Saintess must offer even her holy and pure body?”
B: “First Senior Brother is infatuated with the Saintess. If he learns that the Saintess was forced to marry, the sacred ground will be overturned!”
A: “Just keep it to yourselves. You really can’t anyhow spread this, I promised my cousin.”
B/C: “Senior Brother, don’t worry. We will definitely be tight-lipped and not anyhow spread this!”
A emphasized again, “First Senior Brother must definitely not know!”
B/C: “Don’t worry. We are definitely not those kinds of people!”
Just as those two people finished speaking, they heard a flirtatious voice, “Where did you hear this?”
As the voice resounded in the Golden Lotus Mountain, a gentle wind blew toward them, carrying with it a tempting fragrance.
A golden-haired lady in a long silver, fine gauze dress walked toward them slowly and gracefully.
With each step she took, Spirit Qi bloomed beneath her feet, as if a mist.
Meanwhile, the lady’s originally supple body seemed to be even more tempting as she was being enshrouded in spirit mist. She could be said to have unparalleled beauty, as each time she smiled and every movement she made were filled with extreme charm.
No man in the world could stay calm in front of her.
The moment she appeared, the three disciples hurriedly bowed with their hands folded in the front. They did not even dare to raise their heads. “We pay our respects to the Peak Leader.”
That’s right. This lady was one of the nine Soul Formation Elders in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground—she was Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus of the Golden Lotus Mountain.
It was said that Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus had also been the Saintess once in the sacred ground. Her talent and appearance had been the top at that time, not losing to Zhang Yunxi at all.
Back then, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus had been proud and cold, not even sparing a glance to countless pursues by outstanding figures until that one time when she had met her.
That was the largest setback Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus had faced in her whole life—that woman’s appearance had completely dominated Golden Lotus!
...
She was holy and pure, but charming had peerless beauty but was dignified. Although her cultivation level was ordinary, she had a Heaven Immortal-like aura.
Her appearance made Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus feel completely defeated in terms of beauty, and this nearly created mental demons.
She knew that if she compared the holy and pure aura with her, she would most likely not be able to be compared with her at all in her whole life.
Therefore, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus took a different route and started cultivating the peerless Seduction Art she had obtained accidentally.
Many years passed...
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus became more and more proficient in the Seduction Art, so her attraction also became stronger and stronger...
However, 10 years ago, when she had been prepared to find that woman to compete again, she discovered that the woman had long died.
Such a fact had made Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus extremely angry, and she had even poured all her regrets and mortifications into the cultivation of the Seduction Art.
...
Now, another 10 years had passed, and her Seduction Art had already been cultivated to the peak. Her smile and her every movement could make people go crazy.
She had the confidence that even if that woman named “Lan” was revived in this world, she definitely would not lose to her again!
...
However, even so, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus still reminisced her cold self in the past deep inside her heart.
Thus, now, seeing the cold and proud Zhang Yunxi, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus felt very close to her.
One could say that Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus mostly taught the VII Divine Lightning Art (Metal).
As for the Saintess, Golden Lotus had really treated her like she was her real daughter.
Now she heard that Zhang Yunxi had to become cultivation partners with a stranger because of ancestors’ rules, and she had even been forced to go through dual cultivation with that shameless man before even joining the sect.
Even if Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus had good control over her emotions, she could not help but be fuming with rage—she had to do her Martial Niece Yunxi justice!
She coldly looked at the three disciples in front of her. “What you said just now, is it really true?”
A: “Reporting to Peak Leader, my cousin had heard it from Senior Brother Li.”
Just when Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus wanted to continue asking, a divine consciousness’ voice transmission echoed.
“Junior Sister Golden Lotus, come to the Sacred Leader Mountain quickly. I have important matters to discuss!”
This voice has no emotions. It’s that heartless Second Senior Brother!
The charming smile on Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ face turned colder and colder. “Now then you remember to discuss with me?”
After finishing, a light flashed between her brows, and a seventh-grade Merit Golden Lotus landed beneath her feet.
The lotus turned into a golden light that tore through space, instantly traveling hundreds of thousands of feet, appearing outside the Sacred Leader Palace’s doors.
Boom!
The door was forced open abruptly. Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ flirtatious but cold voice could be heard in the palace. “Oh my, Senior Brother still remembers to—”
Before Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus could finish her sentence, she was stunned. That was because she discovered that besides the shameless First Senior Brother, heartless Second Senior Brother, and her dumb disappointing son, there was another man.
He wore white clothes and had extraordinary handsomeness as if he was a heavenly immortal that had walked out of a drawing.
After looking at that unfamiliar man, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was astounded.
There’s actually such a handsome man in this world!
Eh, why do I feel that this young man~
Looks a little familiar!
