Ling Yun looked at her with pity in his eyes and advised kindly, "Sister Long, for the sake of you saving me, let me go now. I promise I won't tell him. Otherwise, he will really kill you. He hates being threatened the most, especially by the people around him."
"Kill me?"
The woman in cyan giggled as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Then he must have the ability to do so."
"You are strong, but no matter how strong you are, you are only a demigod. Ding Ning has killed a pericelestial."
Ling Yun reminded him out of goodwill.
The woman in cyan was not moved at all. She curled her lips into a disdainful smile, "You mean those divine guards, right? I can easily kill a pseudo-pericelestial like that."
"A pseudo-pericelestial?"
Ling Yun repeated in confusion. She really didn't understand what a pseudo-pericelestial was.
"Let me ask you, what is a pericelestial?"
The woman in cyan didn't answer her question but asked back.
Ling Yun thought for a while and answered uncertainly after a moment of hesitation, "Only when your soul is stable and you are able to comprehend heaven and earth and become one with nature can you achieve pericelestial."
The woman in cyan glanced at her in surprise, "Not bad. I didn't expect you to have such a clear understanding of pericelestial even though your cultivation is not high. You are a good seedling for cultivation."
"Cultivation?"
Ling Yun was a little confused. She always felt that this Sister Long in front of her, who didn't know whether she was a friend or a foe, spoke too mysteriously. From time to time, she would say a new term that she had never heard before.
"Yes, cultivation. You are only in the God Martial Arts Realm now and haven't completely broken away from the realm of martial arts. Naturally, you won't understand it. When you step into the peak of the Saint Martial Arts Realm and comprehend the law of heaven and earth, you will understand that pericelestial is a completely new realm that is different from any previous realm."
The woman in cyan didn't know if it was because she liked Ling Yun or because she hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, so she became talkative and explained without hiding anything, "From the Saint Martial Arts Realm to the pericelestial is a process where a warrior breaks away from the realm of martial arts and transcends from the mortal to the divine. It is also a transition from a human to a god and a transition from a lower life to a higher life. When you step into pericelestial, you are no longer a warrior but a cultivator. You cultivate the law of heaven and earth and comprehend the law of heaven and earth. That's why I call you a cultivator."
Ling Yun showed a thoughtful look. Although Ding Ning had told her about the method, she didn't have an intuitive concept because her realm was not high and she felt that it was too early for her to talk about the Godly State. But at this moment, when she heard her easy-to-understand explanation, although she still seemed to understand it, she faintly understood it.
"And those divine guards are all people with limited talent. They can't break into pericelestial within a certain period of time. They have to sacrifice their future achievements and use a secret method to forcibly break the shackles of heaven and earth to break into pericelestial. Such a pericelestial can't go further unless they encounter a great opportunity. Otherwise, they are destined to be stuck in their current realm for the rest of their lives."
The woman in cyan looked indifferent and said with assurance, "The law is natural. There are gains and there are losses. Although the divine guards have reached the pericelestial realm, they can't master the symbolic fighting method of the pericelestial experts — the magical power. Their actual combat capability is far from that of the real pericelestial experts. Therefore, they can only be called pseudo-pericelestial."
"Then these divine guards can take their time to comprehend the law of heaven and earth and break through when the conditions are right. Why do they sacrifice their future achievements to use a secret method to break into pericelestial?"
Ling Yun asked in confusion.
"It's not that easy to break into pericelestial. Not to mention the shackles of heaven and earth, even without the shackles of heaven and earth, only one in a thousand experts at the peak of the Saint Martial Arts Realm can successfully break into pericelestial. That is to say, it's already very good if one in a thousand experts at the peak of the Saint Martial Arts Realm can break into pericelestial."
The woman in cyan shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Which of those divine guards hasn't been immersed in the demigod realm for hundreds of years?
They really have no hope of breaking through, so they choose to use a secret method to forcefully break through and become a divine guard. Even if it's pseudo-pericelestial, it's still a realm they dream of. At the very least, it's very easy for them to kill ordinary demigod experts. "
"Ordinary demigod experts?"
Ling Yun's eyes flashed. He keenly captured the meaning of the woman in cyan's words. It seemed that there were strong and weak demigod experts.
"Of course, your little man isn't an ordinary demigod."
The woman in cyan pursed her lips and teased, but there was a monstrous fighting spirit rising in her eyes.
"Are there clear differences in strength between demigod experts?"
Ling Yun pretended not to hear her teasing and asked humbly. After all, this might be common sense to the woman in cyan, but it was extremely important information to Ding Ning.
"Of course, demigod experts are divided into ordinary demigods, top-notch demigods, peak-level demigods, and peerless demigods."
The woman in cyan had a yearning look in her eyes. She said faintly, "It's said that if one can become a peerless demigod in the demigod realm and then break through to pericelestial, his battle strength will definitely be able to crush experts of the same realm. Even if he encounters peak-level pericelestial experts, he'll still have the power to fight."
"In other words, the demigod realm is a special realm where one constantly accumulates and polishes his battle strength."
Ling Yun was smart to begin with. She immediately came to a realization after hearing that. She suddenly understood why the Divine Princes of the Outer Halls of the three Sacred Halls would stay in the demigod realm for hundreds of years.
The woman in cyan looked at her approvingly and nodded. "That's right. Ordinary demigods can also break through to pericelestial, but their strength can't be compared to peak-level demigods, not to mention peak-level demigods and peerless demigods breaking through to pericelestial."
"I think Sister Long must be in the peak-level demigod realm."
A sly look flashed in Ling Yun's eyes as she probed.
How could the woman in cyan not see through Ling Yun's thoughts? She smiled indifferently and admitted frankly, "That's right. I'm a peak-level demigod. I could have broken through to pericelestial dozens of years ago. However, I've been suppressing my cultivation, hoping that one day I can become a peerless demigod before breaking through."
"Wow, Sister Long is so awesome."
Ling Yun flattered her hypocritically, but her heart became heavy.
Although the woman in cyan didn't seem to have any evil intentions towards her and only restricted her from leaving and contacting the outside world, her intention was obvious. She wanted to use her as a hostage to force Ding Ning to fight with her. She hoped that Ding Ning could comprehend something in the fight and step into the peerless demigod realm.
No matter how confident she was in Ding Ning, the woman in cyan was a peak-level demigod. Moreover, from what she said, it seemed that she didn't care about the divine guards at all. It was not hard to imagine how terrifying her strength was.
Most importantly, she had seen Ding Ning fight with the Death God Guards. Although he managed to kill the Death God Guards in the end, he was badly injured. It could be seen that his strength was not much stronger than those divine guards.
According to her estimation, Ding Ning's strength should be between a top-notch demigod and a peak-level demigod. Therefore, she could easily judge that Ding Ning was not a match for the woman in cyan.
Such a judgment made her feel very uneasy. After all, the woman in cyan was obviously a battle maniac. Once she started fighting, she would not show any mercy. Wouldn't Ding Ning be in danger?
No, I must find a chance to sneak away or send a message to Ding Ning to hide and not fight.
Ling Yun's eyes rolled around as he calculated in his heart.
If Ding Ning knew the basis of her judgment that he was not as good as the woman in cyan, he would definitely be dumbfounded. One must know that when he fought with the Death God Guards, he did not use his true strength.
He only wanted to have a good time, so he only used his basic combat strength. Moreover, it was the kind of flesh wound that looked terrifying but was actually insignificant.
Of course, she could not be blamed. After all, she did not see the scene where Ding Ning killed the Eight Divine Guards so easily. Otherwise, she would not have made such a wrong judgment.
She could die without regrets if she learned the truth in the morning!
The woman in cyan, Long Yi, was a woman with extremely firm martial arts willpower. She was not willing to break through to godly at the peak-level demigod level.
From her point of view, Ding Ning could kill the Eight Divine Guards so easily. It was very likely that he was a peak-level demigod. Only such an expert could give her enough pressure.
This was because she was not willing to give up. Even if a peak-level demigod was already a rare genius and even in the Inner Palace, they would be highly valued by the big shots in the Inner Palace. However, she was still not willing to break through to godly at the peak-level demigod level.
That was why she saved Ling Yun and held him captive to offend Ding Ning. She wanted to force him to fight with all his strength in anger so that she could release her potential under extreme pressure. Then, she would step into the peak-level demigod level that she dreamed of. This was her simple and most effective plan.
Otherwise, when she had already obtained the qualification to enter the Inner Palace without going through the trial, there was no need for her to take the risk of dying in the battle to challenge Ding Ning.
…
"How do we deal with this thing?"
In the arena, Ding Lie stared at the Zombie King who had turned into a clay puppet and asked softly.
"I'll deal with it. This thing is full of zombie virus. It'll be troublesome if it gets infected."
Ding Ning said casually, but his expression was a little strange.
This was because he realized that after the gray seed condensed in his sea of consciousness, a mysterious connection was established between him and the Zombie King.
That feeling was as if the Zombie King had become his spiritual pet and would act strictly according to his orders.
This made him puzzled and depressed. He was the president of the Appearance Association. Even if he wanted to keep a spiritual pet, he had to look at its appearance. This Zombie King was so ugly and disgusting, how could he bring it out?
Moreover, this guy was full of zombie virus. If he was not careful, it could bring a great disaster to the human world. He must be out of his mind to keep it as a spiritual pet.
According to his original intention, he planned to destroy it directly. However, when he thought of the Heavenly Dao Tablet saying that the gray fog was some kind of destiny, he hesitated.
Although he did not understand what destiny meant, the Heavenly Dao Tablet would not speak without thinking. Since it made him immune to the virus and made the Zombie King his spiritual pet, there must be a deeper meaning.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to let the Zombie King stay for the time being. He wanted to see what the Heavenly Dao Tablet was trying to do.
"Be careful."
Ding Lie warned him worriedly. However, when he thought of how Ding Ning was unscathed after being wrapped by the virus, he immediately felt relieved.
"Don't worry, dad. I'm immune to this zombie virus."
Ding Ning said with a smile. Under everyone's puzzled gaze, he walked towards the corner door where the Zombie King appeared.
A shocking scene appeared. That disgusting and horrifying Zombie King was like a docile pug. It followed behind Ding Ning and quickly disappeared into the corner door.
"Big brother, will Ning 'er be alright?"
Sister Qiao asked worriedly.
"Trust him. Ning 'er will be fine."
Ding Lie replied calmly, but his tone was filled with a strong sense of trust.
