Feng Qingran stood perfectly still. What did this mean?
Could she be a powerhouse at the Integration Stage?
That seemed even more impossible. On the Jiuzhou Continent, anyone above the Void God Realm undergoing tribulation…
The heavenly phenomena caused by such an event would be clearly visible no matter where one was on the continent!
And as for the tribulation phenomena of the Integration Stage, they had only ever read about them in the Chronicles of the Jiuzhou Continent—never witnessed them in reality…
So what exactly was her basis for withstanding the pressure of the Integration Stage?
Xiao Hongyu and Baili Xuanqing exchanged glances for a few moments, both with somber expressions.
The structure of the Jiuzhou Continent had already begun to shift back when the Tianyuan Fruit appeared. But now, with the Tianyuan Fruit still around, someone at the Integration Stage had actually emerged!
This meant there were other Tianyuan Fruits on the continent.
Feng Qingran had no idea how much everyone was overthinking things.
The reason she wasn’t afraid of the Void God Realm’s pressure was simply that after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, she could borrow power from her contracted beast to resist it.
Taotie was an ancient ferocious beast. Forget the pressure of a Void God Realm cultivator…
Even the pressure of the Tribulation Stage, she could neutralize.
However, she could only borrow this power once a month. Any more, and her spiritual sense wouldn’t be able to handle it.
While the two beasts were facing off, Feng Ci transmitted his voice: “Woman, this thing has agreed to cooperate with you.”
“Feng Ci, I forgot to ask something. How deep are the sapling’s roots?” Feng Qingran asked, transmitting her confusion.
She had seen Panghu digging for a long time and still hadn’t managed to pull that tender sprout out…
This went against common sense.
As far as she remembered, this kind of tiny sprout should usually come out with just a tug.
Feng Ci transmitted his voice, feeling guilty: “About one zhang deep, I suppose. After all, the Hongmeng Tree seed is special. Before sprouting, it likes to send its roots down desperately…”
Feng Qingran: !!!
“Feng Ci! I really want to twist your head off!” Feng Qingran roared through her transmission.
Her entire aura abruptly changed.
The Saber-Toothed Tiger and the Netherworld Monkey simultaneously twisted their heads to look at Feng Qingran, terror-stricken. They sensed an incredibly fearsome aura!
Was this woman going to eat them?
The two beasts exchanged glances, then both returned to their masters’ sides, diving into their contract spaces, unwilling to come back out!
Xiao Qingfeng and Rong Zhuofan: What did you do?
The two men shared a rare moment of tacit understanding, waving their hands: I did nothing!
Everyone else was also utterly bewildered. Could someone tell them what had just happened!
And Feng Qingran, the one who had caused this upheaval, was still scolding Feng Ci through her transmission. “Feng Ci, can’t you say everything at once? A root one zhang deep, and you tell me its aura was faint?”
“Feng Ci! Don’t count on me to help you next time. This is absolutely the last time!”
“Tell me, how am I supposed to dig up the sapling right in front of everyone and make sure they don’t get suspicious?” The more Feng Qingran scolded, the angrier she got. She felt someone staring at her.
She glared at the person and shouted, “What are you looking at! I told you I’m not getting involved. I don’t even know what’s down there, and you still want to subdue it!”
Everyone: …
The clan leaders quickly averted their gazes. Can’t afford to provoke her!
Sheng Clan’s leader felt especially aggrieved. Feng Qingran was clearly shouting at him.
“You don’t know what’s down there either, do you?” Baili Xuanqing’s eyes were probing. He suspected Feng Qingran wasn’t human.
Rather, she was a powerful beast in human form.
“Whether I know or not is none of your business! Even if I did know what was down there, I wouldn’t tell you!” Feng Qingran was currently fuming.
She hadn’t even remembered that Baili Xuanqing was the leader of the Tianxuan Sect.
Her worry was how to dig a hole one zhang deep right under everyone’s noses!
Baili Xuanqing’s eyes turned cold. So brutish, she must have become human not long ago…
Achoo! —
Feng Qingran sneezed.
She narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and looked at Baili Xuanqing. “If you have something to say, say it to my face. What’s with cursing me out in your head?”
Baili Xuanqing looked slightly embarrassed and chose to remain silent.
Rong Zhuofan, watching from the side, was quite amused. This young lady had single-handedly shut up two sect leaders.
Rong Zhuofan became even more cautious. Absolutely must not provoke this young lady.
In truth, Rong Zhuofan didn’t know.
Feng Qingran’s attitude towards the other three sect leaders stemmed from grievances in her past life.
In her previous life at the Tianjian Sect, whenever she was wronged, Xiao Hongyu always chose to side with Su Yanran.
Xiao Hongyu appeared fair and strict, but he always sided with whoever was stronger.
Xiao Qingfeng and Baili Xuanqing each had a disciple who adored Su Yanran. In the end, when those two captured her and subjected her to torment,
Xiao Qingfeng passed by but didn’t save her.
Instead, worried that her existence would ruin his disciple’s reputation, he directly fed her a poisonous pill that rendered her mute.
Baili Xuanqing also discovered what his disciple had done but chose to silently walk away.
Only the disciple from the Beast Taming Sect hadn’t participated in persecuting her.
However, the Beast Taming Sect’s ultimate fate wasn’t very good!
It seemed Su Yanran had taken a liking to something belonging to the Beast Taming Sect. The Demon King directly slaughtered the entire sect and seized their possession.
After that, the Beast Taming Sect fell into decline.
In this life, Su Yanran had left Qingzhou early. Perhaps the Beast Taming Sect would be spared this calamity, right?
Rong Zhuofan felt Feng Qingran’s gaze and looked over.
Although he couldn’t clearly see Feng Qingran’s face, he could sense sympathy in her look.
“Actually, it’s not impossible for you to help me.” Feng Qingran shifted her gaze and looked at the troubled crowd.
“Miss, feel free to name your conditions,” Xiao Hongyu spoke up first.
Feng Qingran raised her hand. “Dig a few holes all around this area. I want to see which one can connect faster to that black cavity.”
