Chapter 268: Points Ranking Board
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The mountains were continuous and the forests were dense.
From time to time, the roars of a few demon beasts could be heard in this mountain range.
However, there were two figures in an unremarkable cave.
They were Gu Xi and Little Nine, who had been rushing all the way here.
At this moment, they were dozens of miles away from the previous sixth gathering point. Although it was not very far, Gu Xi expected that even if Wang Zhan suddenly became extremely brave, the latter would not dare to chase after them.
His consciousness spread to the surroundings and covered the nearby mountains. Gu Xi did not notice the slightest movement, not even a trace of human activity.
Without any pursuers, Gu Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he was not afraid of Wang Zhan and his men, he could not continue to drag on with Little Nine’s injuries.
“Go and be on guard. Don’t let anyone or demon beasts approach this place.” Gu Xi turned to look at Little Jin, who had already turned into a carp.
Little Jin blinked its eyes, and its figure disappeared.
At the same time, a divine beast’s pressure quietly spread out. In the blink of an eye, it covered a large area of the surrounding area.
In the mountain range, almost all the demon beasts cowered and crawled on the ground when they sensed Little JIn’s aura. Not to mention getting close to the cave where Gu Xi and the others were, even walking was a problem for them now.
In the cave, Gu Xi asked Little Nine to sit cross-legged while he came behind Little Nine and quietly entered her body with his mind.
He could clearly see that a violent spiritual power was rampaging inside Little Nine’s body. Little Nine tried to control the spiritual power to punish it, but because of the lack of spiritual power, she failed repeatedly. This caused that violent spiritual power to become more and more violent and unscrupulous.
Gu Xi frowned. He wanted to rely on his own spiritual power to help Little Nine, but he did not make a move.
He was afraid.
As Little Nine was a divine beast, the structure of the meridians in her body was completely different from that of a human. Once he controlled the spiritual power to enter Little Nine’s body, the slightest carelessness would cause Little Nine’s meridians to be completely destroyed. As a result, it would cause her cultivation to be completely dispersed. In serious cases, it could even threaten Little Nine’s life!
Even as a divine beast, once her meridians were completely destroyed, this kind of serious injury was enough to kill her!
“Don’t worry, I can take it.” As if sensing Gu Xi’s worry, Little Nine suddenly spoke softly.
Gu Xi shook his head and fell into deep thought.
A moment later, his eyes lit up.
If he could not help her, what if he relied on the System?
“System, test this spiritual energy.”
Gu Xi’s voice sounded in his heart.
[Ding! The spiritual energy of the ancient divine beast has been detected.]
[There are 56,931 impurities in total.]
[Would the Host like to proceed with the extraction?]
“Yes!” hearing this, Gu Xi was overjoyed and quickly replied.
Being able to extract it meant that there was a chance of success!
[Extracting]
As the System’s voice sounded out, an aura that came out of nowhere suddenly entered Little Nine’s body, instantly enveloping the violent spiritual power.
Gu Xi could feel that the violent spiritual power was melting rapidly, and it would probably disappear before long.
However, Little Nine remained unmoved, as if she did not feel the huge change that was happening in her body at all.
Since she did not notice it, Gu Xi was too lazy to explain.
Just like that, a night passed in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, the System’s voice sounded again.
[Extraction complete]
Little Nine’s body trembled slightly, and her pretty face gradually became rosy. It was completely different from the previous paleness.
“It disappeared!” Little Nine turned around and looked at Gu Xi with a face full of pleasant surprise. “The will of that demon beast that I fought! The will that remained in the spiritual power in my body has disappeared!”
“In other words, that spiritual power has already turned into pure and ownerless spiritual power. Without the will of that demon beast, I can absorb it into my body as much as I want,” Little Nine said with a smile.
Hearing this result, the knot in Gu Xi’s heart finally loosened.
Being able to absorb that spiritual power into her body without any scruples meant that Little Nine’s realm would rise again. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.
“In that case, you should absorb it as soon as possible.” Gu Xi smiled cheerfully as he fought to keep his eyelids open.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he did not close his eyes for an entire night.
“But now, I might have to sleep for a period of time. Not only do I have to absorb this spiritual power, but I also have to take this opportunity to recover from the injuries in my body,” Little Nine said with some guilt.
Once she entered a deep sleep, she did not know when she would wake up.
This also meant that before she woke up, she would not be able to help Gu Xi in any way.
“Don’t worry, with Little Jin around, there won’t be any problems,” Gu Xi said with a smile.
At the mention of Little Jin, Little Nine also nodded in agreement.
Although she did not like that guy at first, ever since the golden carp leaped through the dragon gate, even Little Nine had to admit that Little Jin’s strength had a qualitative leap.
Without much hesitation, Little Nine took the initiative to enter the demon beast space.
This was the first time she had returned to it after transforming into a human form.
After all, she did not know how long she would be asleep this time. She did not want Gu Xi to be guarding her. The best way was naturally to enter the demon beast space.
As Little Nine fell into a deep sleep, Gu Xi also completely relaxed.
After successive battles, he was already extremely exhausted. Unknowingly, he leaned against the rock wall and fell asleep.
By the time he woke up again, it was already afternoon.
He got up and slowly stretched his waist. Gu Xi summoned Little Jin back.
After a short rest, even though he had not completely recovered the spiritual energy that he had used up, at least his mental state had recovered to its peak.
With a flip of his right hand, an emerald jade pendant appeared in his hand.
With a glance, Gu Xi’s gaze fell on the ranking list.
First Place, Vast Expanse Sword Domain, 6,728 points.
Second place, Daluo Sect, 6,533 points.
Third place, Raging Fire Valley, 6,321 points.
Fourth place, Hehuan Sect, 6,161 points.
Fifth Place, Star Pavilion, 5,894 points.
Sixth Place, Yunxiao Sect, 5,671 points.
Seventh Place, Flying Star Sect, 5,255 points.
Eighth place, Liuli Sect, 5,197 points.
...
Gu Xi’s mouth twitched as he glanced at the rankings.
These guys were a little too extreme, right?!
The competition had only started a few days ago!
If this continued, their points would soon surpass 10,000!
Gu Xi’s gaze shifted slightly as his gaze fell on her own score.
691 points!
This gap was really not an ordinary one...
