Chapter 570 - 569: A Celestial Favor Is Not Worth a Deep Bond

Chapter 570: Chapter 569: A Celestial Favor Is Not Worth a Deep Bond

Yue Xi only needed a moment of observation to roughly understand what was happening with the six people in the Saintess Pool.

It was mainly because of the male Candidacy Saintess.

He seemed to be absorbing Immortal Spiritual Qi, and for some reason, this had also caused the other six to enter a state of epiphany.

’Is this a good thing or a bad thing?’

Yue Xi didn’t know either.

But epiphanies were rare, and since the man was a Candidacy Saintess, after all, it could be considered reasonable.

Therefore, she had no intention of disturbing them.

She decided to ignore the matter of the Immortal Spiritual Qi for now.

So, Yue Xi went straight out and explained the situation. Anyway, she had no intention of interfering.

If she didn’t interfere, then no one else could enter the Saintess Pool to do so.

Silver Armor frowned. "That male Candidacy Saintess isn’t from the Holy Land. Shouldn’t he be excluded?"

This sort of thing was not his decision to make, so he could only inquire.

Yue Xi said, "Even the Holy Land Array isn’t excluding him. What choice do we have?"

Silver Armor replied, "But he’s an unknown variable. If he absorbs all the Immortal Spiritual Qi, won’t that be a huge loss for us?"

At this moment, Jian Shisan said, "I doubt it."

Silver Armor looked at Jian Shisan. "What makes you so sure?"

Jian Shisan said, "You all should have a sense of how profound the Holy Land Array is, right? Do you really think it would make a mistake?"

Silver Armor was taken aback, and even Yue Xi was momentarily stunned.

’That’s right. Could the Array really make a mistake?’

’Did he really become a Candidacy Saintess by exploiting a glitch?’

That was what the Forbidden Land Maiden had said back then, but there had to be another reason.

Otherwise, how did he become the Candidacy Saintess deemed most suitable for the position?

He even supplanted her treasured Jiu Xi, which was not normal.

The declaration that there would be no Saintess after Jiu Xi wasn’t something said lightly.

But as for the specifics, no one could possibly know.

Yue Xi decided she could enter the Forbidden Land in a few days to see if "pure evil" had anything new to say.

At this point, Silver Armor said nothing more.

Questioning the Holy Land’s Array was indeed a bit much to ask of him.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo was absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi as he walked along the Refining Heart Road.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion and Qin Qianning were still there.

Jiang Zuo had thought it was over, but unexpectedly, they were still there.

He was now following the two of them while simultaneously absorbing Immortal Spiritual Qi.

’This vision will probably end once we’ve walked out of the Refining Heart Road,’ he thought.

"I feel like I’m about to ascend to Tier Nine. Once I do, I’m going to cast a massive curse, staking everything I have on it.

My brother has already promised to help me," Qin Qianning said with a smile.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion was surprised. "What kind of curse would require you to be so reckless?

Would Eldest Young Master Qin let you be so headstrong?

What if it backfires? That’s very dangerous."

Qin Qianning smiled. "I’m not afraid, because I’m casting it on you."

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion was stunned. "Me? What are you going to cast on me?"

"It’s a secret. Anyway, once it’s cast, my brother will surely be more willing to let me marry you," Qin Qianning said with exceptional confidence.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion still didn’t understand, but he didn’t mind.

Whatever curse Qianning placed on him, he would accept it gladly.

He wouldn’t hesitate or resist in the slightest.

Finally, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion smiled. "Then hurry up and reach Tier Nine."

"Mhm," Qin Qianning hummed, walking ahead with a smile.

Jiang Zuo, trailing behind them, narrowed his eyes. ’That must be the curse she cast in the Cursed Land.’

He had seen it before.

But as for what the curse actually was, Jiang Zuo still didn’t know.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion had never shown any sign of it, let alone revealed what it was.

’A little secret between lovers?’

It was the kind of thing that made one curious.

After they had walked a little farther, Qin Qianning suddenly asked, "By the way, you said last time that an ordinary Fairy isn’t a match for my brother. Is there a solution for that?"

This question piqued Jiang Zuo’s curiosity.

It sounded a bit like his own situation.

Su Qi had once mentioned that back in elementary school, he used to repel girls.

But he had married Su Qi, and after his school days, that sort of thing had never happened again.

It wasn’t happening now, either.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion looked conflicted, but he eventually said, "I’ve researched many texts. In one obscure document, a certain type of person was mentioned. That kind of person might work."

Qin Qianning asked excitedly, "What kind of person?"

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion slowly uttered two words: "Celestial Favor."

Qin Qianning frowned. "What does that mean?"

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion shrugged. "Literally, the favored of the heavens. A Child of Heaven, or a Child of the Gods, something like that.

I don’t know anything more, but if someone is truly favored by the heavens, they might be able to withstand Eldest Young Master Qin’s unique nature."

"Then can’t we just find one?" Qin Qianning asked.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion shook his head. "Impossible. At least, there are none around here.

From what I gathered in that text, the appearance of a Celestial Favor is subject to conditions, and they are extremely stringent."

"Then what’s so special about someone with Celestial Favor?" Qin Qianning asked again.

"Well, their Cultivation speed is probably incredibly fast; a casual effort for them is equal to years of work for others. Their aptitude for comprehension is also extremely high. What others struggle to grasp, someone with Celestial Favor can understand with ease, I suppose.

However, there are likely side effects. The text was incomplete, and because the script was foreign, I can’t be certain," the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion said, shaking his head.

Listening from behind, Jiang Zuo felt more and more that something was amiss. ’What is the meaning of this?’

Jiang Zuo had a similar destiny, something he only became aware of after he had become accomplished in his Cultivation.

But he was married and lived a peaceful life with Su Qi, so he had never been too concerned about it.

Even when Su Qi mentioned his possible tendency to repel females back in elementary school, he hadn’t paid it much mind.

’Things from my childhood are in the past. As long as everything is fine now, that’s all that matters.’

But now, these two were suggesting that Su Qi might have Celestial Favor?

For a moment, he found this hard to accept.

He had never heard of this "Celestial Favor," and how did one come to have it?

The appearance of a Celestial Favor was conditional.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion had just said so.

But did Su Qi meet those conditions?

Jiang Zuo felt he had to investigate this "Celestial Favor" phenomenon. It had side effects. If Su Qi really did have Celestial Favor, then he needed to find a way to resolve them.

He couldn’t bear the thought of Su Qi facing any danger.

Then, Jiang Zuo took out the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires. He seemed to have thought of something.

In the end, he shook his head. ’It’s too early to jump to conclusions. I should investigate first and then decide.’

Besides, he was different from King Qin Wu. Perhaps he didn’t need someone with Celestial Favor to solve his problem.

But it was true that there was something unusual about Su Qi, and that was worth investigating.

"Where did you get that text from? Is it reliable?" Qin Qianning asked.

"I fished it out of the Netherworld River. It’s sitting right there in the river. The boat from last time can take us straight there," said the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion.

Finally, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion suddenly turned to look in Jiang Zuo’s direction and said, "There must be someone with Celestial Favor in our world. Gaining their help will make the future much easier.

But those with Celestial Favor... are not people you should form deep bonds with."

And with that, the two of them disappeared.

Jiang Zuo sighed. It seemed he was being forced to take a trip to the Netherworld River.

With his current strength, it was hard to say what might happen if he went to the Netherworld River.

’Does this mean I have to put it off for a while?’

Come to think of it, he needed to find the time to go anyway. Besides, You Si was just outside the Netherworld River; perhaps he could drop by for a visit.

What if he ran into a living Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion?

As for the warning not to form deep bonds with those who have Celestial Favor, Jiang Zuo ignored it. If Su Qi truly had Celestial Favor, then not forming a deep bond was simply not an option.
