For Ji Qingyue, her willingness to choose the obviously disadvantaged Star Sea Continent was naturally not for any nostalgic feelings for her homeland.
Perhaps there was a trace of it, but certainly not all of it.
The most important reason was, of course, that under Qi Pingâs rule, the Star Sea Continent had the opportunity to break through the Integration Stage, and even aspire to higher levels.
How long has it been, and Meng Tianqi, who was once inferior to her, now seems to have reached a level where the outcome between them is hard to determine.
The most outrageous, however, is Baili Yun, someone she could barely challenge with one hand in the past, who has now achieved Integration. That nearly shocks her for ten thousand years; after all, this is a realm she pursued for countless ages, and he just achieved it!
The growth rate of the Star Sea Continent under Qi Pingâs rule is simply absurdly fast.
What impressed her was that she could see Qi Ping was genuinely committed to developing the Star Sea Continent.
Yet, that wasnât the most impressive thing. What impressed her the most was Qi Pingâs methods of developing the Star Sea Continent, mobilizing almost everyoneâs enthusiasm and wisdom to propel the worldâs advancement, and with her perspective as the once strongest on the Star Sea Continent, she had never seen such an excellent ruler.
A current historical evaluation of the Star Sea Continent:
"Rising from insignificance, wielding the sword to question the living; slaying demons, sweeping away fierce foes, a single sword cuts through chaos, eradicates familial ailments, creates an unparalleled golden age, venerated by all under the heavens, the eight desolations submit, this is the unparalleled Emperor through the ages..."
For this evaluation, she felt it was not exaggerated at all. In fact, from her perspective, it wasnât comprehensive enough.
Otherwise, with her former glory and pride, why would she risk coming back to plead for forgiveness?
Wasnât it because of Qi Pingâs character, which was worth following?
And with Qi Ping, it was truly possible to pursue the realm she yearned for, maybe even reaching higher wasnât impossible.
Besides, in this realm war, as long as she kills enough of the Demon Race, thereâs a chance to obtain the worldly fortune unseen ordinarily. Such things are comparable to any spiritual medicine treasure, and even a Void Refining Stage cultivator hardly gets such a Supreme Treasure.
So just for this point alone, it was worth her taking the risk once.
But everything still boiled down to Qi Ping indeed being worth pursuing; otherwise, her coming back was almost akin to seeking death.
Given Qi Pingâs current monstrous strength, just thinking about it made her legs tremble slightly.
Especially the recently displayed Great Dao Domain, which even Integration Stage cultivators can only possess, and now thinking about it still makes her scalp tingle.
Moreover, Ji Qingyue always felt that this Great Dao Domain might even be more terrifying than Baili Yunâs True Demon Realm. After all, that is an incredibly rare True Demon Realm cultivator!
"I hope this time I wonât make the wrong bet again!"
"What was once the number one of the Star Sea Continent was all vanity, but thereâs no way I can let those juniors, Meng Tianqi and Baili Yun, surpass me, or Iâll have no place to put my face..."
Upon entering the Realm Battlefield, Ji Qingyue decided to unleash her full power for once. She couldnât remember how many years it had been since she fought so desperately, to the point where she wasnât even sure how strong her full blast would be!
...
Baili Yun and Meng Tianqi watched Ji Qingyueâs departing figure, their eyes still filled with profound meaning.
"Old Meng, how do you feel Ji Qingyueâs strength compares to yours now, who is stronger or weaker? Iâm too strong now, canât really tell..."
Baili Yunâs words seemed both curious and a bit like showing off.
Meng Tianqi couldnât help but roll his eyes at Baili Yun again, realizing how he never noticed this guy was so irritating before?
However, he still answered honestly:
"Sheâs very strong! Initially, I thought I could steadily suppress her after my recent improvements, but just seeing her now, she gives me a very dangerous feeling, and I canât determine the outcome..."
"Is she that strong?" Baili Yun said in surprise, "It seems we were able to drive her away back then because of the Star Emperor, otherwise, relying on us alone wouldnât have been enough to make her back down..."
"Indeed!" Meng Tianqi nodded in agreement.
For this former strongest of the Star Sea Continent, he still held a trace of respect in his heart.
Ji Qingyueâs reputation was actually quite good, except for the last experience of agreeing to collude with the Celestial Dragon Continent. Before that, she indeed never bullied other cultivators due to her strength.
"Did you just plant the Demon Seed Restriction on her and find out what her physique is?" Meng Tianqi continued to ask.
"Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Body..." Baili Yun replied, his expression somewhat serious.
"What? Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Body?" Meng Tianqiâs eyes were instantly filled with shock, "No wonder, no wonder..."
No wonder Ji Qingyueâs influence was so strong, and no wonder Ji Qingyue had never been able to fully break through to the Integration Stage, all reasons lay in this Ten Thousand Laws Body.
Among the various powerful special physiques in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Body is definitely ranked highly.
This physique is naturally attuned to various Great Daos, and its comprehension in magic progresses swiftly.
However, it also has a drawback, that the overall strength is greatly limited by the world it resides in.
If the world it resides in is relatively weak, with insufficient Law strength, the difficulty of improving strength will increase significantly.
But conversely, if in a strong world, itâs truly the darling of nature, no wonder Fu Tuzi from the Celestial Dragon Continent promised Ji Qingyue she could join the Celestial Dragon Continent and completely integrate into that world, even she was tempted, let alone any ordinary person.
And the only mistake Fu Tuzi made this time was not genuinely willing to help her, because his ultimate goal was merely a dog-eat-dog scenario, which is why he didnât want to make such a severe Heavenly Dao Oath, relying on the inevitable destruction of the Star Sea Continent as a result, hoping to pay less in the aftermath, otherwise, Ji Qingyue might have really fought desperately.
