"The decision lies with you. I won’t force you either way." Pce Head Chen nodded.
Xue Ying hesitantly said, "Pce Head Chen, actually, the Deity warrior I am currently carrying is no longer required! Considering my current ability, I can survive even without it. I’ll first borrow this Deity Warrior for my disciple sister Jing Qiu to use. Is that alright?"
"It’s fine; it’s fine." Pce Head Chenughed. "I truly don’t know what to say about the two of you… if your disciple sister Jing Qiu bes a Demigod in the future, I think herbat power won’t be any worse than yours! She might even surpass you if you don’t work hard enough in the future!"
"Oh?" Xue Ying was startled. "She’ll be stronger than me if I don’t keep working hard? Jing Qiu, she…"
He hadn’t noticed it.
Although Jing Qiu was quite talented in terms of cultivation, she couldn’t be considered particrly outstanding!
"As soon as she bes a Demigod, she will be able to control the strongest n protection treasure of my Xia n!" Pce Head Chen hid nothing from him. "At that point, herbat power will be enough to suppress any other Demigod. She might even match the might of a Deity!"
"The strongest n protection treasure? Ancestor Snow?" Xue Ying was truly stunned this time. He had previously seen the Xia n’s records regarding their strongest n protection treasure.
"Mn." Pce head Chen nodded. "Therefore, one of the protective treasures I had previously given her was actually a Deity warrior as well! Though, Jing Qiu herself does not yet know of its existence."
Xue Ying let out a breath of relief.
That was good.
The same way that a Deity Warrior was hidden within one of the treasures given to him by Pce Head Chen that year, Jing Qiu also had one with her.
"Ancestor Snow?" Xue Ying was still surprised by that.
He would depend on hisprehension of True Meanings in order to sweep through every other Demigod, reaching the pinnacle of the Xia n’s World! At that point, he might even have thebat power to match ordinary Deities!
Meanwhile, Jing Qiu would depend on the strongest n protection treasure of the Xia n! With its terrifying power… she would simrly suppress anyone else for an entire generation!
"You must continue working hard; otherwise, you will just stand there ashamed as your woman overtakes you," joked Pce Head Chen.
"It wouldn’t be shameful!" Xue Ying’s mood was quite pleasant at the moment.
"You should also help her and not dy her cultivation! Although my Xia n is secretly giving her plenty of resources, bing a Demigod is still too difficult," said Pce Head Chen. "She won’t be able to use the Deity weapon unless she bes a Demigod."
"I understand."
Xue Ying was now truly reassured. With a Deity warrior secretly protecting her, she would no longer be in any danger while chasing after traces of demons!
"Pce Head Chem, I would like to learn more of the ck Wind Deity Pce as well as its owner!" Xue Ying suddenly asked. With his currentbat power, he would have a greater chance of sess. Naturally, he wanted to go visit the ck Wind Deity Pce.
"The ck Wind Deity Pce?" Pce Head Chen was stunned for a moment before reacting in a sh. "Oh. You mean the ck Wind Deity Pce that’s close to your Snowrock Castle? If I recall correctly, the ce you fell into before bing a Legend ranker was precisely the ck Wind Abyss, right?"
Xue Ying nodded.
"No wonder you are so curious about it. Why do you n to break through the pce?" Pce Head Chen asked.
"I would like to try. I heard that even by now, no Transcendent has ever managed to seed," answered Xue Ying.
"Right." Pce Head Chen continued, "There have been many Transcendents who tried their luck. Yet even after countless tens of thousands of years since its establishment by Ancestor ck Wind, not a single Transcendent has managed to seed!"
"The arrays left behind couldn’t be broken by anyone even though he’s dead?" The Xue Ying of that year was quite ignorant. He now understood a bit more about how powerful the ck Wind Pce Head was! Even a Xia n Demigod mage could leave behind a set of arrays in a Deity Pce which would cause Transcendents to be helpless for a few tens of thousand of years.
Pce Head Chenughed. "Although it is kind of humiliating, Ancestor ck Wind was indeed a very powerful Demigod mage! If he were alive now, he could also suppress any other existence for a generation. Hisbat power was much stronger than Mountain Lord He’s, and his achievements in many different areas such as spells, arrays and refiner puppets were very high. Still, you should try it. Then you will also understand how hard it is to break through the pce."
"I have seen the records on Ancestor ck Wind, and he had only grasped hold of a grade three True Meaning. How could he be so powerful? Although, having read through it carefully, am I right to have noticed that certain aspects were only briefly noted?" asked Xue Ying.
"He was a mage. Even among True Meanings of simr grades, there are different levels of utilization of the Laws of Profound Mysteries in their spells, which results in disys of power at varying levels. Ancestor ck Wind was a truly capable mage! Only briefly noted? That’s because various miraculous opportunities in his life allowed him to attain abat power that nobody couldpete with. Still, in the end, he could not be a Deity. As a result, he did something truly crazy in an attempt to increase hisbat power. But some of his actions rte to the secrets of our Xia n, so those parts were censored," exined Pce Head Chen.
"And you can’t tell me about it?" Xue Ying asked.
"No," said Pce Head Chen.
Xue Ying curled his lips.
He had done a truly crazy thing?
What exactly was it that even with his current status, Pce Head Chen would still not tell him?
Pce Head Chenughed. "You should just go and try it, but remember to be careful! Ancestor ck Wind might have set down some rules in order to prevent Transcendents of the Xia n from dying, but the opposing power could still be great enough to kill you."
"I understand." Xue Ying felt rxed.
First of all, Ancestor ck Wind did not hold any hatred towards the Transcendents of the Xia n. Secondly, he had the mirage!
I refuse to believe that a dead Demigod mage has the means to harm me inside my mirage!
"If you are to seed and you discover certain treasures which would be of great help to my Xia n…" Pce Head Chen hesitated, but he still continued with emphasis, "And, if they’re of no use to yourself, you can just exchange them for some other treasures."
"Treasures that are of a huge help to the Xia n?" Xue Ying felt something was amiss.
"You grasped hold of a grade two True Meaning. Even if you do not seed this time around, I trust that as yourprehension of the realms deepens, you will still be able to seed," said Pce Head Chen. "You will understand everything as soon as you break through the ck Wind Deity Pce. ording to my knowledge, the treasures inside the ck Wind Deity Pce are all extraordinary! If it weren’t for the treasures self-destructing if one tried to take them by force, the previous two emperors would have taken them long ago."
"Mn." Xue Ying was now even more curious.
Pce Head Chen had been mentioning something without borating on it.
What exactly was the ck-Wind Deity Pce?
…
After bidding his farewell to Pce Head Chen, Xue Ying went to the Water Daoist Faction and used about 20,000 contribution points to exchange for various treasures. They were all for his parents, his little brother, Uncle Zong, and Uncle Tong. He would also save some for the use of his n’s descendents.
As for weapons and armors?
The increase Demigod treasures brought to Xue Ying’sbat power had deteriorated to a very low amount. Furthermore, mid and top grade Demigod rank treasures made no difference at all to him! On top of that, the Ster Fire Cloud Spear was a weapon which suited him perfectly, as it had no arrays imprinted on it. Usually, top grade Demigod and Deity weapons were so powerful due to the arrays which provided many unique functions when imprinted on them.
But the Ster Fire Cloud Spear had no array imprinted throughout its entire body! It relied purely on its material strength, which determined its grade to be at the mid grade Demigod rank. Even the Xia n found it to be extremely extravagant and wasteful. There had even been some rumors that it had been left behind by a guest from the outerworld.
Its material strength alone was enough to give it such great strength. These materials had to be more expensive and precious than those used in top grade Demigod rank weapons.
The material resistance induced by the Extreme Piercing worked best inbination with the Ster Fire Cloud Spear! It could pierce through Demigod Treasures with a single stab!

As the year ended…
Although spring arrived, it remained extremely cold. The Water Rites Town was still filled with the umted snow.
A young female and male couple were currently flying in the sky.
"That year, I fought Xiang Pang Yun. While we were fighting, I kept trying to escape." Xue Ying and Jing Qiu followed the path he had taken when escaping. "That situation had truly been dangerous for me. Had I continued fighting on the Snowrock Mountain, I’m afraid I would have died by his hand. After all, his true identity was that of a mutated beast."
"Look, that’s the ck-Wind Cliff." Xue Ying and Jing Qiu flew towards it.
"I know, Disciple Brother Xue Ying had fallen off right at this very ce." Jing Qiu flew towards the top of the Abyss before looking carefully downwards. The huge ck gale had formed a maelstrom of many thousands of meters in radius. Furthermore, that was merely the outermost disturbance caused by the ck Wind maelstrom. The further one went, the stronger it became.
"I was truly lucky that year." Xue Ying looked at this maelstrom while recalling the life and death battle he had gone through.
Truly lucky.
If there had been no cracks in the valley which allowed him to enter the underground pce, he would have long died from hunger!
"Relying solely on luck is not enough. Combat power is important too." Jing Qiu was wearing a thick white gown. She felt worried for Xue Ying. "Disciple Brother Xue Ying, you must be careful."
"Rest assured. I have a Deity warrior with me." Xue Yingughed. "Even if you don’t believe me, you should at least believe in the Deity warrior."
"I believe in you." Jing Qiu nodded. "But one can never be too careful."
As the two talked…
"You two brats bickering on top of my head, can’t you move somewhere else?" All of a sudden, a powerful area approached them from below. One could see only an enormous figureing out through the ck gale. Soon, a huge ck dragon head popped out of it. Its pair of golden eyes were filled with resentment as he looked towards the two figures standing atop the maelstrom.
It seemed that from the perspective of the ck dragon, these two were just ordinary Transcendents.
"It’s been awhile." Xue Yingughed.
"You are?" The ck dragon’s golden eyes were full of doubt. He could not think of who this ck-robed teenager might be.
"Do you still remember the mortal teenager who fell into this ck Wind Abyss 50 years ago?" Xue Ying smiled. That time, it was this ck dragon who made him feel suffocated with fear. But now, he was able to determine with a single gaze that he was merely a powerful Demigod grade refiner organism.
