On the green hillside, there was a strange house nearby?
What’s this?
Elder Yan was extremely surprised, but he could sense that the scene was not like reality, but more like a painting.
Suddenly, a deafening sound rang out.
“Ding ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.”
Hi! I’m Peppa Pig!
A bright pink sow made a dazzling appearance, with five large words “Pink Hair Dryer” flashing on its head.
“Huh?” Elder Yan was dumbfounded. How could there be such a strange thing in this girl’s soul?
Immediately afterwards, the pink hair dryer suddenly squealed like a pig.
“This is my brother, George.”
George came out and squealed like a pig.
“This is my Papa, Papa pig.”
The pig came out and squealed.
“This is my mommy, Mommy pig.”
The pig came out and squealed.
In no time, he had collected four pink hair dryers.
The pig squeals wouldn’t stop; the quartet kept making pig squeals echo in your head, and it even had a catchy chant of “Hi, I’m Peppa!” “Hi, I’m Peppa!” “Hi, I’m Peppa!”
That was absolutely mind-numbing noise, a form of mental pollution!
What on earth is this weird thing?!
Elder Yan had lived for hundreds of years and had never encountered such a bizarre and demonic soul. What kind of nonsense was Chi Miao thinking all the time?!
He couldn’t take it anymore; he’d go crazy if this continued.
Elder Yan increased his strength, continuing to penetrate deeper into Chi Miao’s soul.
Finally, he escaped the haunting image.
Then he arrived at a bottomless abyss.
There was no light here, and hundreds of long, thick chains imprisoned a young girl dressed in red.
Beside her, a giant hammer formed from divine souls and countless iron nails floated.
The giant hammer smashed down on the iron nail, which pierced the girl’s forehead. Another blow!
The girl will forever guard the punishment of shattered souls in this dark and sunless place!
Even Elder Yan was horrified by the sight, and a feeling of pain began to creep over him.
“What… what is this?”
Before he could react, a mysterious and powerful force roared.
“Intruders die!”
Immediately, Elder Yan felt his soul being forced out of Chi Miao’s body, his internal organs bursting, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
The others were confused, watching Elder Yan go on and on, saying “Hi, I’m Peppa Pig” one minute and then going crazy the next. He had finally calmed down, but then suddenly he exploded!
Chi Miao remained silent for a moment.
What does “top-grade” mean in the context of top-grade spiritual roots?
“That’s right, it’s so good it could make any probe explode!” Gou Shi System excitedly replied.
Chi Miao: “…”
That’s truly exceptional.
She looked at Elder Yan with some guilt: “Are you alright?”
Does this look like nothing’s wrong to me?
Elder Yan wasn’t concerned about himself at the moment; he was more interested in what exactly that thing deep within Chi Miao’s soul was!
He was a powerful cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage. Not counting those old immortals who had gone into seclusion, there were no more than ten people in the entire cultivation world stronger than him!
That thing actually managed to force him back, and that was after just one glance… How terrifying must it have been at its peak?
Judging from Chi Miao’s expression, it seems that she herself was unaware of the situation.
He had to figure out what that thing was!
“You passed the first round, mutated fire spirit root, root value 89.” He casually gave a number.
This number was excellent. It allowed Chi Miao to pass the level, and the value was reasonable. It was enough for her to be valued by the sect, but it would not be too high-profile and attract too much attention.
The fact that even someone with his late-stage Nascent Soul realm strength could be forced back with a single glance suggests that the secrets Chi Miao possessed were only accessible to those at an unparalleled level.
Most importantly, it was eighty-nine, just one point shy of ninety.
Special ability to block out people!
Chi Miao had been arguing with him for so long, he was going to argue with her back!
However, Chi Miao was speechless, because the Gou Shi system had told her that Elder Yan had not figured out her root value at all.
So this score was just to annoy her.
How stingy!
“What kind of look is that?”
Chi Miao looked away and blurted out, “A look of trust.”
Elder Yan: “?”
Something feels off.
Regardless, he needed to tell the other elders about Chi Miao’s situation first.
Maybe someone might know what was going on.
He could feel endless pain in his heart with just one glance.
….
Elder Yan returned to heaven and told the other elders everything he had seen.
Almost no one knew what this meant.
Only one elderly man with white hair had his pupils tremble for a long time.
“Are you sure what you saw were a hundred chains, a hammer, and several nails?”
Cultivators possessed abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, and Elder Yan, being in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, had extremely strong perception and could not possibly have made a mistake.
He said yes, and the old man couldn’t help but feel a chill.
“Old Master He, you are very knowledgeable, do you know something?”
The old man’s name was He Wanban, the master of Wanzhi Mountain, who was in charge of the secret manuals and documents among the nine mountains of Jiujian Mountain. In terms of knowledge, he was the most outstanding in the entire Jiujian Mountain.
Old Master He took a deep breath, somewhat uncertain, and said: “This is probably the Curse of Yama, the King of Hell.”
“Before a person dies, their entire body is bound with a hundred soul-tracing ropes, and a soul-destroying needle is pierced into their crown chakra, causing their soul to be tormented for all eternity, never to die a good death!”
“The person dies young in every life and is unable to cultivate their spiritual roots. Now that her spiritual roots are strong, she may have another destiny to become an immortal.”
“But this curse is malevolent and brings bad luck. Who would cast such a curse on her?”
“Her information states that she was born an orphan, spent fifteen years in the mortal realm, and has just entered the path of immortality. I’m afraid… this curse was not obtained in this lifetime!”
“The soul suffers this torment life after life, so its spiritual power is naturally far beyond what is comprehensible.”
Just hearing the description is enough to send chills down your spine.
Such spells came at a great cost.
Who exactly is Chi Miao? What secrets does she hold?
“Then…should we accept her?” Elder Yan pondered for a long time before finally speaking.
Everyone knew that he was drawn to Chi Miao’s talent and also felt sorry for her pitiful fate.
Everyone knew that Elder Yan may appear impulsive and stern on the surface, but he was actually the most kind-hearted person.
He may be petty and stingy, but he was also tender-hearted.
Old Master He said, “It is fate that brought her here. If it is truly destiny that guided her to this place, no matter how mysterious she is, how could she cause such a huge uproar?”
“Besides, you yourself said that this child has an excellent character. If she can pass the later test, what’s wrong with taking her in?”
“But we shouldn’t tell her this secret yet… lest it corrupt her mind.”
Elder Yan was finally relieved.
Since they were destined to meet, he decided to lend her a hand.
If Chi Miao passed the second round of the Heavenly Ladder test, he would give her a small gift as compensation for the soul-searching.
However, there was one more thing he was curious about.
“By the way, do you guys know what a pink hair dryer is?”
The elders asked, “What the heck?”
Elder Yan: “That idiot who always says ‘Hi, I’m Peppa Pig’ all the time.”
Everyone: “???”
….
Those who passed the first round could use their cards to rest in the guest rooms of Jiujian Mountain for a while, while waiting for the assessment on the second day.
It was still early the next morning.
Before dawn, Chi Miao began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
At this time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was at its peak, making it the most suitable time for repairing the chain.
Everyone else was still asleep while she sat cross-legged, adjusting her breathing.
The surrounding fire elemental energy sensed a warm attraction and quickly moved closer to her.
Before long, the spiritual energy became so dense that it formed a small whirlwind of flames around Chi Miao, flowing continuously, making her seem like a black hole.
If anyone discovered that such a commotion was caused by her repairing a chain, they would be so shocked that their eyes would pop out, and they would exclaim, “What an incredible absorption speed!”
Chi Miao’s repair of the chain stirred up a warm breeze.
In this sweltering summer.
She herself felt cool.
But the others who weren’t fully awake suffered the consequences.
That night, everyone had a nightmare in which they were steamed in a steamer by a female demon in red.
It was so hot that they almost all turned into steamed humans!
“F**k your mother, who’s blowing hot air here so early in the morning? Don’t you have any manners? It’s so hot, it’s killing me! You have no manners at all!”
Chi Miao disagreed, saying, “Where’s the hot air? Isn’t this quite cool?”
Gou Shi System: “You may feel cool, but the fire elements around you are almost overflowing. How can others not feel hot?”
Ah?
It turns out she was the one who caused all that noise.
Do I need to apologize?
Gou Shi System: “No need, they’d rather you leave.”
“Cough.”
I’m so sorry.
However, Chi Miao was not an ungrateful person, so she quietly came to a small grove under the moonlight.
