Chapter 505 - 504: Go Be a Saintess

Chapter 505: Chapter 504: Go Be a Saintess

Jingyue was exasperated. That male Candidacy Saintess was becoming more and more formidable, and he’d even made an indelible contribution to the work of the Saintesses.

’What if someone eggs him on to usurp the position?’

Jingyue shook her head. ’What am I thinking?’

’A man becoming a Saintess?’

’Who would ever agree to that?’

Then Jingyue looked at the Summon Card and couldn’t help but murmur, "She’s such a cute little girl. When that little grumbler has a baby, she’ll definitely have a girl this cute too."

With that thought, Jingyue left the secret chamber.

As for such a cute little girl, she had no intention of summoning her. This was an extremely dangerous little girl.

’I’ll summon her when it’s safe someday.’

...

At that moment, Jiang Zuo arrived in front of the stall. He only needed one glance to know what was inside.

A Water Spirit, and a very ancient one at that.

Jiang Zuo had caught quite a few of these Water Spirits before, mainly for research purposes.

He used to often hear people say that Water Spirits were hard to kill.

But before he even began studying the ones he’d captured, he had already seen through them. It wasn’t that they were hard to kill; people were just using the wrong method.

Later, he caught many different types, and not a single one was difficult to kill. They were so fragile you could practically crush them to death with a pinch.

Jiang Zuo sighed, disappointed.

Then, Jiang Zuo reached out and tapped the Water Spirit lightly. The spirit immediately dissolved into a puddle of water, its life signature gone completely.

Although Water Spirits had a life signature, they weren’t complete life forms.

Aside from that wisp of a life signature, there was nothing else to them.

And it was precisely because of this that others found them hard to kill.

The moment he first saw one back then, he knew how to kill it.

All you had to do was use your own Life Force to kill it.

However, this thing called Life Force seemed simple, but it was extremely difficult to control, almost impossible to grasp.

’Perhaps it’s difficult for others.’

With Jiang Zuo’s current Tier Three strength, controlling it wasn’t difficult at all.

A Tier One couldn’t cast Magic. A Tier Two could only cast various spells. But a Tier Three could control their Essence, Qi, and Spirit Body. A powerful pressure would also manifest, making them seem as if they had gone from Extraordinary to Saint in the eyes of ordinary people.

And reaching Tier Four, capable of Sword Flight, meant that this control had reached a certain level.

It was an all-around improvement.

Of course, for Jiang Zuo, there wasn’t much difference between Tier Three and Tier Four. It was merely a difference in pure Cultivation level.

Sword Flight and the like... there was nothing he couldn’t do.

When it came to control over his own body, no one could surpass him.

Moreover, with things like Magic, he only needed to use them once to instantly master them.

Because the moment he used any technique, he could modify it into its most suitable and powerful form.

More importantly, he had been tempered by the Celestial Punishment. His power had already surpassed all other Tier Threes. Within the same Realm, no one was his match.

Even against a Tier Three Peak, Jiang Zuo could put up a fight.

In short, no one at any Realm within Tier Three could threaten him.

After killing the Water Spirit, Jiang Zuo didn’t linger. But just as he turned to leave, he froze.

[Yes/No]

Jiang Zuo was helpless. ’Didn’t I just kill a Water Spirit?’

’How did this thing pop up?’

’If this has a backer, doesn’t that mean I’ve been discovered?’

Especially since Su Qi was coming back soon.

With a sigh, Jiang Zuo selected ’Yes’.

An image quickly appeared, emerging from the Water Spirit.

To Jiang Zuo’s surprise, the message seemed to wrap directly around his consciousness. This meant there was no backer involved.

Jiang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief at this thought.

Meanwhile, Jingyue, Su Qi, and Qing Lian were all stunned. ’It’s happening again?’

Soon, they saw a person appear—a man dressed in white robes.

There was nothing else, only this man.

This was the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion. Everyone could tell.

He seemed to be standing there with a smile, but after a moment, his expression turned very serious.

"Do you... still remember me?"

Su Qi and the others were stunned. ’Who is he talking to?’

Jiang Zuo was also taken aback. ’Is he talking to Qin Qianning?’

However, Jiang Zuo quickly realized that wasn’t the case.

"To be able to see this message, you must have become strong enough to suppress a whole region, right? Qianning is still resting quietly in the Forbidden Land, isn’t she?"

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion’s words startled everyone.

’What does that mean?’

’Who is the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion talking to? Is he alluding to someone specific?’

’And what about that line, "Do you still remember me?"’

’What does that mean?’

Jiang Zuo also frowned.

’Something about that sentence felt off.’

But before Jiang Zuo could think too much, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion spoke again. "If you don’t remember me, then I beg you, please save Qianning.

I have made many, many preparations. Qianning has not yet emerged. With your ability to suppress a region, you can surely do it.

Use your flesh and blood to truly resurrect Qianning."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Jingyue and the others were also shocked. It felt as if the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion wasn’t speaking to them at all, but to the person on site.

’So, what’s going on?’

Jiang Zuo looked at the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion, and the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion seemed to be looking right back at him.

Jiang Zuo remained silent, and the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion also paused for a while.

Finally, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion said, "Go become the Saintess. You can do it. My time is short."

After saying this, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion vanished.

Everything returned to normal.

But Jiang Zuo said nothing, and Jingyue and the others were also silent.

Then Jingyue looked at the notification: *Shared video from an unknown Candidacy Saintess...*

’Is the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion egging on the male Candidacy Saintess to become the Saintess?’

’Did he consider that the other party might be a man?’

’Did he consider the feelings of the one in the Forbidden Land?’

’Did he consider me, the current Saintess?’

’Okay, he definitely didn’t consider that last one.’

Kidding aside, Jingyue learned a lot from this.

For instance, the male Candidacy Saintess’s identity was likely anything but ordinary.

And ever since he became a Candidacy Saintess, he had been running all over the place, either grabbing items or finding videos.

He was more dedicated than she, the actual Saintess, was.

’So what is he after?’

’Is he really just doing this because he’s bored?’

’Definitely not.’

Jingyue sighed. She could only speculate about this male Candidacy Saintess’s identity.

But her guesses were only about his connection to the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion and the others.

From the looks of it, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion and the one in the Forbidden Land were closest to only one person.

And that person was—Qin Tian.

Therefore, it was highly likely that he was Qin Tian.

If that were the case, then everything would make sense.

’But shouldn’t Qin Tian be dead already?’

’And his strength doesn’t match up.’

For some reason, Jingyue felt that her guess was wrong.

’Ugh, a terrifying thought just popped into my head. Push it down, push it down.’

Jingyue decided to wait and see. But one thing was certain: this Candidacy Saintess was special.

Besides, as long as he wasn’t an enemy, it was all manageable.

Right now, she should help her sister investigate some things first. For example, she could start by looking into Po Xiao. What if solving one mystery solved them all?

’There might be a good show to watch then.’

After that, Jingyue scrolled through her phone, planning to leave the Holy Land. It had been a while since she last streamed.

As she opened her streaming app and checked the videos, THUD! She fell right to the ground.

’Oh my god, what did I just see?’

’That’s definitely the male Candidacy Saintess!’
