Chapter 365: Chapter 192 Step Four of Cultivation: The Path to Transcendence, Pursuing Eternity_3

She was merely a prisoner at the moment, and even if that person did not offer any promises, she had no choice but to submit, for she did not wish to die. She still had tens of thousands of years of lifespan, still aspired to cultivate to the Tongxuan Realm, and longed to be the next ruler of Myriad Demon Mountain.

Now, as long as she agreed to that person, it seemed all her dreams could come true.

With her aptitude raised to Supreme Grade, her cultivation speed would greatly accelerate. Even without the resources of the Divine Yuan Realm to refine, the time it took her to break through minor boundaries would dramatically decrease.

Based on her own estimate, if no external forces aided her, such as a great opportunity to rapidly advance in realm, it would take her at least six thousand years to reach the pinnacle of the Divine Yuan Realm.

By then, she would only have about five thousand years of life left, which certainly wasn’t enough to break through to the Tongxuan Realm, unless she obtained a heaven-defying opportunity.

There were no shortage of peak Divine Yuan Realm powerhouses in Myriad Demon Mountain and other Sacred Lands, several of whom had been stuck at this threshold for thousands of years. None of them had an aptitude lower than hers; if they couldn’t break through, she had no hope either.

However, if her aptitude were raised to Supreme Grade, she could reach the pinnacle of the Divine Yuan Realm within three thousand years, and the likelihood of breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm would be much greater.

This was just the first promise, and that person also promised to help her reach the pinnacle of the Divine Yuan Realm within a hundred years and bestow upon her the Tongxuan Pill to help her advance to the Tongxuan Realm.

This effectively shortened the tens of thousands of years of cultivation she needed into a single century and assured her successful advance to the Tongxuan Realm. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

The Heavenly Moon Wheel— a Supreme Grade Divine Weapon she had long coveted—was also unconditionally given to her, which could enhance her combat ability and life-preserving capability by many times.

In Myriad Demon Mountain, she could also obtain it, but she had to first cultivate to the pinnacle of the Divine Yuan Realm and complete accomplishments that satisfied the Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang.

Observing Xue Yueqing’s excited demeanor and ever-changing expression, Bai Keqing stayed silent, simply watching quietly.

She sighed inwardly, as Xue Yueqing’s reaction seemed to mirror her own past self. The Demon Emperor had still fallen into her husband’s Devil’s Palm.

After being tempted for a long while, Xue Yueqing finally calmed her mind and said gravely, “How can you prove it?”

Xue Yueqing knew she had no right to demand proof from that person, but she still needed to ask, or else she wouldn’t feel at ease.

“Sister, you’re overthinking it,”

Bai Keqing smiled and replied, “My husband is willing to swear by the Oath Stone and doesn’t require a vow from sister. The Tongxuan Pill can also be given to sister first.”

“In that case, I agree.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Yueqing no longer hesitated and readily agreed.

If she didn’t agree, she might receive even better treatment, but it was more likely that she would lose even these promises and fall into an abyss.

What could she do if she didn’t appreciate the face given to her?

Xue Yueqing had no doubt that person could deliver, as that was a superpower on par with a Sacred Land, and the person was suspected to be a Saint of the Saint Abyss Realm.

The only doubt was about the Tongxuan Pill. Currently, neither Myriad Demon Mountain nor Bai Yujing and other Sacred Lands had it, but that person’s promise to give it to her first dispelled the last bit of doubt in her heart.

“It’s good that sister agreed; from now on, we’ll truly be sisters,”

Hearing Xue Yueqing’s commitment, Bai Keqing also breathed a sigh of relief, saying with a smile, “In the years at Chengsheng Mountain, I really missed sister. If it weren’t for sister sending me to the Xuan Domain, how could I have met my husband?”

“I’ve always remembered sister’s kindness; I was worried sister’s defiance would bring hardship upon her.”

Xue Yueqing fell silent for a moment then chuckled lightly, probing, “Is sister blaming me?”

Bai Keqing shook her head and earnestly said, “I am truly grateful to sister. Everything I said earlier was heartfelt. I really had a good time at Chengsheng Mountain.”

“Even though I’ve only been Dao companions with my husband for seven years, I fell in love with him long ago. My heart is full of him, without room for anything else.”

Smiling, Bai Keqing continued, “Sister will know of my husband’s charisma in due time.”

Xue Yueqing relaxed a bit, glad that Bai Keqing bore no grudge, then nodded slightly and said, “I’ll see for myself.”

Her tone was full of anticipation; she couldn’t wait to learn more about that person. It was astonishing how he had made her rebellious, seductive wild demoness so submissive, so obedient, so consumed with thoughts of him.

Now, she was already feeling some of that generosity, that full sincerity which exceeded her expectations, involuntarily causing her to develop a fondness for him.

“Sister, we’ve talked so much, yet I still don’t know his name…”

Xue Yueqing extended her snow-white jade hand, taking Bai Keqing’s soft hand, and asked softly.

“It’s my fault, I forgot to say it. My husband’s name is Han Li.”

Feeling the warmth of Xue Yueqing’s hand, Bai Keqing quickly responded.

“Han Li~”

Xue Yueqing quietly repeated the name several times, confirming she had never heard it before.

So, this was the name of her future Dao companion.

Xue Yueqing had no doubt that Bai Keqing was telling the truth; there was no point in lying. She would soon become Han Li’s Dao companion; there was no need to conceal it.

Behind the two women, Yue Ji hesitated, giving Xue Yueqing a glance and sighing silently before asking timidly, “What about me?”

Was she merely a background player?

Her true form was the Supreme Grade Divine Weapon, the Heavenly Moon Wheel. Having followed Xue Yueqing to the Xuan Domain, not only did she get nothing, she was also suppressed and brought back. In the end, she was given to Xue Yueqing as a reward by that man. How did that make sense?

Xue Yueqing and Bai Keqing both turned their heads to look at Yue Ji, their faces revealing meaningful expressions.
