Princess Ziyue's Heart
Time passed by slowly. Time flowed by like water.
The tests on Demon Island were like fire and tea. They were getting more and more exciting.
The people who had been eliminated were all gathered in the plaza. They would only leave together after the test ended. This place was also very lively.
Those who had been eliminated in advance were obviously the ones who had been tragically eliminated.
The most interesting and most discussed matter was that Young Master Tie Mu had been eliminated in advance. He had only stayed on Demon Island for a little more than a hundred years.
This result … there were still five thousand people who had surpassed Young Master Tie Mu.
This matter caused Young Master Tie Mu's heart to be filled with rage. He felt that he had lost all his face and suffered a great humiliation.
A few people who were close to Young Master Tie Mu and followed his lead started to spread some news.
He exaggerated the story of how Young Master Tie Mu was forced to be eliminated.
They said that it was because Qin Xiao was despicable and shameless, and that Qin Xiao had set them up. Furthermore, they also said that Young Master Tie Mu was very lofty, and that in order to save others, he had used his own strength to fight against a Three Star Demon.
They created a glorious image of Young Master Tie Mu and slandered Qin Xiao miserably.
As for Princess Ziyue, not a single word was mentioned. After all, Young Master Tie Mu did not dare to rashly offend Princess Ziyue.
Regarding this situation, everyone was naturally discussing it. They all had different opinions.
Everyone knew that Young Master Tie Mu and Qin Xiao had a grudge against each other. Before they had even entered Demon Island, the two of them had already had a conflict. The seed of hatred had been planted.
Therefore, many people felt that this matter might have been exaggerated. Of course, there were also some people who supported Young Master Tie Mu. Thus, there were two opinions.
However, everyone was just discussing it.
Young Master Tie Mu, who had the most support, had actually been eliminated. This could be considered as the biggest surprise. It made everyone's jaws drop.
More and more people were eliminated. The thousand-year period was about to end.
At this time, there were only a pitiful six people left on Demon Island.
Qin Xiao, Princess Ziyue, Qian Xiaojun, Drunkard, Red Scorpion, and Mu Yu.
There was nothing surprising about the first five people. Everyone had already expected this. They were also the most popular geniuses among all the participating geniuses.
Mu Yu, this unknown person, had become the biggest dark horse. Unexpectedly, he had been able to persevere all the way. They had no choice but to send people to inquire about Mu Yu's background and find out who he was.
However, the result of their inquiries was that Mu Yu's background was very ordinary. He did not have any status or background. Moreover, his previous performance had not been particularly dazzling, but this time, he had exploded.
It would appear that this person was very good at enduring. He only revealed his true strength when he arrived at Demon Island.
It was precisely because of this that his reputation had never been particularly resounding. He was indeed a dark horse.
The last six people would be the ones who would have the last laugh in this core disciple selection.
Choosing six core disciples out of more than two thousand geniuses was a reasonable number. If it was any less, he would feel that it was a waste to go through so much trouble to organize this core disciple selection.
This time, the Universal Temple's investment should not be small.
Originally, there were many people who supported Qin Xiao and Young Master Tie Mu regarding the matter between them. Many people even directly criticized Qin Xiao.
However, now that Qin Xiao had a high chance of becoming a core disciple, many people's opinion changed.
From the previous condemnation in speech and writing, it had now become a sea of praise.
Such a change made Young Master Tie Mu very unhappy.
This time, he had suffered so much and was humiliated. However, people still supported Qin Xiao. How hateful.
However, as a loser, what else could he say? He could only stand alone in a corner. His expression was extremely ugly, cold, and frightening. No one dared to approach him.
On Demon Island, the test was nearing its end. Everyone did not need to fight for anything. They could rest for a while and wait for it to end.
All these years, Qin Xiao and Princess Ziyue had been adventuring together. The most dangerous time was when they met a three-star All Knowing human. That battle was very thrilling. Qin Xiao and Princess Ziyue had almost exhausted their divine power before they finally defeated the three-star All Knowing human.
Other than the three-star All Knowing human, the two also met two three-star demons and a three-star demon beast. In total, there were four three-star demons.
In terms of the process, it was quite difficult.
Fortunately, the two of them worked together and did not encounter any accidents.
Thousands of years of training and numerous hardships allowed the two of them to be tempered and baptized. Their strength had improved a lot.
Especially Qin Xiao, his improvement in all aspects was very significant. His biggest gain was that he had completely cultivated the three middle-grade cultivation techniques that he had obtained from Qi Dong to perfection.
In addition, he had fused many insights into his swords, making them even more powerful.
In addition, his ultimate technique, the Myriad Mountains and Rivers, had become even more powerful.
Thus, towards the end, Qin Xiao was able to suppress a three-star All Knowing human by himself.
Of course, that was only to say that he could suppress it. It didn't mean that he could kill it by himself.
There was a huge difference between being able to suppress and being able to kill. To kill a three-star Fiend was far, far too difficult. To kill an enemy who was at a higher level was too difficult!
Fortunately, Qin Xiao and Princess Ziyue did not encounter any four-star Fiends, or any particularly powerful three-star Fiends. Generally speaking, their journey was quite smooth.
Although there were a few dangerous encounters, in the end, they were able to pass through without mishap.
Seeing that the thousand year period was drawing near, the two of them slowed down their pace, no longer continuing to hunt Fiends.
"Hey, Qin Xiao, look over there … it's so beautiful!"
Princess Ziyue suddenly let out a sigh of surprise. She pointed in a direction, her jade-like eyes shining.
Qin Xiao immediately turned to look. Indeed, he saw a beautiful scene appear before his eyes.
Tall mountains, flowing rivers, strange flowers, strange plants, mysterious bamboo forests, strange rocks, and a dazzling and colorful scene.
Many things were perfectly combined together, and together with the colors, they created an extremely beautiful picture. It truly was like a holy land, extremely beautiful.
It was so beautiful that it was intoxicating. It was so beautiful that anyone who saw it would be drawn in and deeply mesmerized.
Women were all infatuated with beautiful things.
Yao Xuelian was like this. Princess Ziyue was like this as well.
Fiend Island actually had such a beautiful place. It was truly a marvelous sight.
But soon, Qin Xiao calmed down. He instantly felt a hint of wariness in his heart. The more beautiful something was, the more bewitching it would be. Thus, behind this beauty, there might be something dangerous. That was still an unknown. But he had to be on guard.
Qin Xiao carefully inspected the area, but didn't sense any dangerous aura.
But of course, Qin Xiao still didn't dare to be overconfident. He still warned Princess Ziyue, "Ziyue, be careful. This isn't necessarily a safe place."
"For Fiend Island to have such an otherworldly paradise is quite strange. And haven't you noticed a problem? This is a very large area, but there are no Fiends coming in or out of it. I keep having the feeling that something is off. "
Princess Ziyue said, "Right. I know. It's fine. We just have to be careful. If there is any danger, we'll immediately sense it. "
"Given our current power, if the two of us join forces, as long as we don't provoke any Four Star Fiends, we'll be fine."
"In addition, we've reached the end of the trial. Even if we leave now, there won't be any problems. In the end, the only thing that matters is our results. We have enough points. "
Although this was the case, Qin Xiao still had to be careful.
The two walked in that direction. The closer they got, the more they saw how beautiful that place was.
This sort of beauty completely captivated Princess Ziyue, causing her to be intoxicated by it.
Indeed, after a thousand years of fighting, a thousand years of nervousness, and a thousand years of constant tension, one needed to rest and relax for a while.
Qin Xiao wanted to relax for a while as well, to let his body and mind feel comfortable.
This place wasn't very large; one could see everything at a glance. This was indeed a fairly small otherworldly paradise.
Qin Xiao carefully inspected this place, but he truly didn't sense any dangerous auras. There were no Fiends here.
It seemed as though his worries had been unfounded.
Still, this wasn't a bad thing. It was always good to be careful.
After confirming that there was no danger, Qin Xiao relaxed quite a bit. Princess Ziyue was completely relaxed as well, and she picked a few fruits to eat.
They tasted very good.
She would treat this as enjoying her final moments in Fiend Island.
Looking at Princess Ziyue, Qin Xiao couldn't help but think of Yao Xuelian.
At this moment, Qin Xiao felt that he could see some Yao Xuelian's shadow in Princess Ziyue. They both liked flowers, liked beautiful scenery, and when they smiled, they were as brilliant as flowers. They were very beautiful and charming.
However, Qin Xiao was just a passer-by in the Core of All Things World. Even if he wasn't a passer-by, Qin Xiao wouldn't be tempted by Princess Ziyue. They were just friends.
Princess Ziyue's bright eyes looked at Qin Xiao, and she suddenly asked with a serious expression, "Qin Xiao, have you ever thought of finding a Dao Companion?"
This sudden question almost caused Qin Xiao to choke and bite his tongue. He looked at Princess Zi Yue in a daze and did not know how to answer for a moment.
This question … was indeed a bit too sudden. Qin Xiao wasn't prepared for it.
Although Qin Xiao could sense that Princess Ziyue was interested in him and wanted to develop a romantic relationship with him, Qin Xiao couldn't help but think that Princess Ziyue was interested in him.
Even if she didn't fall in love with him, she might at least have a good impression of him.
Yao Xuelian also gave him this difficult question. He didn't expect Princess Ziyue to give him the same question.
Qin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "Ziyue, to be honest, I haven't thought about this for the time being."
Hearing Qin Xiao's answer, Princess Ziyue felt somewhat disappointed in her heart.
However, she didn't show it. Instead, she asked, "Then what do you think of the relationship between men and women?"
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any other opinions. The relationship between men and women is a cycle of the Heavenly Dao, and the reproduction of generations. This is a kind of instinct and a kind of nature."
"Yes, actually, I think so too. Therefore, I don't think there's anything wrong with the relationship between men and women. Speaking of which, we're not young anymore. Even if we reproduce, it's nothing. Many people say that the relationship between men and women will make people neglect their cultivation. Actually, I don't think so. "
"I think that if fate comes, then there's no need to think about anything."
