Sensing the sorrow in little crane's heart, Linghu scratched his ears and cheeks. He wanted to share her burden but did not know what to say.
Nobody knew how to console her over something as such.
The atmosphere turned heavy.
Linghu looked at Su Zimo, hoping that the latter would say something.
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo decided to divert little crane's attention first and asked, "Little crane, why did you enter the intermediate ancient battlefield?"
Although the old immortal crane had already broken through 20 years ago and became a high-level fiend demon that was equivalent to the Dharma Characteristic realm of the human race, it was most likely impossible for her to open up a spatial node to the intermediate ancient battlefield on her own.
As though she recalled something, little crane's expression changed and she reverted to her human form. Hurriedly, she grabbed Su Zimo's arm and said anxiously, "Save Nien Qi! You've got to think of a way to save Nien Qi!"
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's heart sank as he took a deep breath. "What's going on? Don't panic, tell me slowly."
Nien Qi was a little girl he 'picked up' in the capital of Great Zhou and there were many secrets in her body.
For example, Nien Qi was immensely strong even before she started cultivating.
For example, he could not sense the passage of time on Nien Qi's body.
Or rather, the passage of time was extremely slow.
This meant that Nien Qi's lifespan was extremely long – at the very least, it was much longer than people of the same cultivation realm!
Even so, Su Zimo did not suspect Nien Qi at all.
Everyone had their secrets.
Furthermore, she was only a child with a pure heart. Be it towards him or Misty Peak, she had no ill intentions.
During the battle at Misty Peak, Nien Qi gave it her all and almost died – it was clear that this child already viewed Misty Peak as her home.
Little crane said, "This time round, the patriarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty came forward and sought you out, mother, wanting to work together to open up a spatial node."
"This ancestor is a Dharma Daojun. Unfortunately, his Qi and blood have deteriorated and his lifespan is nearing its end. Therefore, he decided to use a secret method to burn the last of his lifespan, erupting with power and joining forces with mother to open a spatial node. "
"However, this teleportation channel is extremely narrow and can only teleport two people. This ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has given both places to Misty Peak. "
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo raised his eyebrows slightly.
This move was equivalent to giving Misty Peak a huge gift with his life!
The actions of the Patriarch of Great Zhou were definitely up to something!
Little crane continued, "The Patriarch of Great Zhou knew that his lifespan was nearing its end and was worried that the Great Zhou Dynasty would face a calamity after his death. As such, he wanted to use this gift in exchange for the protection of mother and Misty Peak."
After the battle at Misty Peak, the other four sects had suffered great losses. Even Void Reversions had perished.
Although Misty Peak suffered heavy casualties as well, the disciples who survived would definitely have a bright future!
Furthermore, with this battle, the old immortal crane extended her lifespan and entered the Dharma Characteristic realm, breaking free from the shackles of Heaven and Earth. Her lifespan increased immensely and she was no longer threatened by her lifespan.
Misty Peak became the leader of the five major sects with a single leap!
Their strength surpassed the other four major sects and there were more and more cultivators who wanted to join Misty Peak.
In the past 20 years, Misty Peak had already become the number one sect in the territory of Great Zhou!
It was not hard to understand why the Patriarch of Great Zhou would make such a decision.
Little crane looked at Su Zimo and continued, "Mother told me that the reason why the throne of Great Zhou was given to Ji Yaoxue was partly because of your potential. At the same time, it was also because of your relationship with Ji Yaoxue and the fact that you have Misty Peak backing you."
Su Zimo nodded.
He had long guessed that as well.
According to etiquette, the inheritance of the throne was passed down to the first wife and the first wife. No matter what, it would not have landed on Ji Yaoxue.
Furthermore, she was a woman.
Eventually, the fact that the throne of Great Zhou was passed down to Ji Yaoxue and that the throne was not abolished despite the internal and external troubles of Great Zhou for the past 20 years was definitely not the decision of the Emperor of Great Zhou alone.
Now, it seemed like the Patriarch of Great Zhou was backing this as well!
All of this made sense.
It had to be said that the Patriarch of Great Zhou was truly scheming.
Furthermore, he had made the right bet.
The fact that the old immortal crane sent little crane in meant that she had already agreed to this matter!
Although he was dead, he still paved the way for Great Zhou before his death by finding a Dharma Characteristic expert to protect them.
As for where Great Zhou would end up in the future, that was not something he could control.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Senior crane sent you and Nien Qi in for two spots?"
"Yes,"
Little crane nodded. "There are more cultivators joining Misty Peak and the strength of the sect has increased. However, there are many problems as well. Be it elixirs, weapons, cultivation techniques or spirit arts, we can no longer supply them."
"Mother and the Patriarch place great importance on the opening of the ancient battlefield this time round and want to make use of it to strengthen the foundation of the sect."
"Although Nien Qi joined the sect late, she's already the number one of the Jin Dan realm in the sect right now. In fact, the Patriarch even said that she might be able to fight with you! "
"Mother also said that Nien Qi's Jin Dan phenomenon might be able to fight for the top ten of the Jin Dan Phenomenon Ranking!"
Su Zimo's eyes lit up.
The fact that there was a chance of fighting for the top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking was enough to shock him.
The Patriarch and Ling Yun were already at the Void Reversion realm. Coupled with the old immortal crane, the fact that they were able to give such an evaluation was proof of Nien Qi's strength!
Of course, Su Zimo had been hiding at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley for 20 years and there was no way the old immortal crane and the Patriarch and Ling Yun would know of his strength.
Nobody had witnessed it for themselves either.
Little crane seemed to have recalled something as a look of fear flashed through her eyes. "Not long after we entered the ancient battlefield, we met seven people, six men and a woman."
"They were way too strong! The strength of those seven people was way too strong! "
Little crane emphasized repeatedly – it was clear how shocked she was at that time!
"These people look at everything with a condescending indifference. But the moment they see Nianqi, there's something wrong with their eyes."
"Nien Qi's expression turned terrible when she saw those people as well. At that time, we were holding hands and her palms were cold and sweaty."
At that point, Su Zimo and the others could not help but feel nervous.
Little crane continued, "Thereafter, the seven of them looked at Nien Qi with strange expressions and walked over. Nien Qi said to me, 'Don't ask anything, hurry and run' before going up to them."
Pausing for a moment, little crane gulped and continued, "Nien Qi rushed up and released his Jin Dan phenomenon. However, it was shattered by a single punch from the leader of the other party!"
"Ah!"
Little fox exclaimed.
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze and asked instead, "Destroyed Nien Qi's Jin Dan phenomenon with a single punch?"
"Yes!"
Little crane nodded with certainty.
Su Zimo had a grim expression.
According to the old immortal crane, Nien Qi's Jin Dan phenomenon had a chance of making it into the top ten of the Jin Dan Phenomenon Ranking.
In other words, Nien Qi's Jin Dan phenomenon was definitely not inferior to his Soaring Serpent and Divine Turtle phenomenons!
However, that terrifying Jin Dan phenomenon was destroyed with a single punch!
Su Zimo was secretly shocked.
Even he might not be able to produce such a powerful burst of power!
Suddenly, Su Zimo realized that the ancient battlefield this time round was even more frightening than he had imagined!
