Jin Taixui furrowed his brows and looked at Yun E.
"Temple God Reincarnation?"
"No, thatâs not right... Are you feeding yourself to the god?"
"I see now, my loss wasnât undeserved."
Jin Taixui spoke calmly, the colorful patterns painted on his face trembling slightly.
The second...
The second Heart Test!
Since the age of three, he had been thrown into the Mysterious Temple, where he grew up crawling and scraping, a tempering that honed his soul. In the Heart Test, he showcased a significant advantage.
The Heart Test... created through the Dao Yun Power of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Ancestor, manifests as an illusion realm. Dao Yun senses the tribulations and pains deeply rooted in oneâs heart.
No one can entirely overcome their trials and painsâit only comes down to how long one can endure.
Because some pains and tribulations are incredibly enduring, to experience them again may yield an even lesser performance than before.
Jin Taixui gazed at the tiny figure of Xi Xi, who resembled a little bean sprout, a flicker of strangeness flashing in his eyes.
He no longer dared to underestimate Xi Xi. After all, sheâd already beaten him before.
This little girl had whipped out a mechanism, bombarded him ruthlessly, and nearly sent him off for good.
"Sister Yun E!"
Xi Xiâs small feet moved quickly, patter-pattering as she dashed to Yun Eâs side.
Yun Eâs icy-cold gaze softened with a touch of warmth as she looked at Xi Xi.
She ruffled Xi Xiâs hair: "Xi Xi is so impressive, lasting until the third round of the Heart Test. It wasnât easyâyou must have suffered a lot, didnât you?"
Yun E knew all too well how grueling the Heart Test was.
The inner pains were peeled open again to be relived more intenselyâit was worse than a nightmare.
But Xi Xi vigorously shook her head: "Xi Xi didnât suffer at all! Xi Xi had a great time. My dad was always protecting me!"
Yun E chuckled speechlessly.
She gently stroked Xi Xiâs head.
"Such a pity... It looks like this time, the direct disciple slot of the Taibai God is mine for certain."
Jin Taixui crossed his arms, his ten-year-old figure already quite lanky, almost fit to be called a young man.
"If Gongshu Wentian or Xuan Yue managed to reach the third round, I might feel some pressure. After all, the Gongshu Family is the lineage of the Chief Supervisor of the Grand Prospect Heavenly Observatory. Gongshu Wentian is actually quite competent."
"Xuan Yue hails from the Xuanfu Divine Sect and is also quite strong..."
"But as for the two of you..."
Jin Taixui had always been wild and uninhibited. He was arrogant because, in the Great Vista, arrogance was imperative to showcase the brilliance of Da Liâs prodigies.
"A five-year-old little girl and some trash reliant entirely on Temple God powers to stand here..."
"You pose almost no threat to me."
The disdain in Jin Taixuiâs words was unabashed.
Jin Taixui turned to Xi Xi: "I admit, little girl, your talent ceiling is quite good. With all sorts of enhancements, you should have Purple Qi Reaching Heaven level potential..."
"But youâre merely five years old. How strong can your actual power be? If it werenât for your use of mechanisms, I could crush you as easily as a defeated dog."
So brazen!
Xi Xi immediately furrowed her brows angrily!
"You defeated loser, how dare you look down on Emperor Xi Xi!"
With hands on her hips, Xi Xi puffed out her little stomach and scolded him loudly.
Jin Taixuiâs face darkened: "Whoâs your defeated loser? That was a sneak attack! And you used mechanisms to sneak attack meâhow dare you call me a defeated loser!"
"Little girl, do you dare to take a gamble with me?!" Jin Taixui squinted, fixing his gaze on Xi Xi with a crooked, malicious grin.
"A gamble?"
Xi Xi instantly recalled the scene of betting against Ji Haihui, the Evil Minister, in the past.
Her head shook like a rattle drum.
"Iâm not betting with you people who donât keep your word. Losing and then refusing to settleâthe whole thingâs pointless," Xi Xi said.
Jin Taixuiâs brows furrowed: "I am the Young Witch of Wushen Mountain! How could I possibly not keep my word?"
"The last one also said the same. He was the esteemed Young Prince! He promised that if he lost, heâd become Xi Xiâs little servant. But then he lost and wouldnât admit it."
Xi Xi sighed and shrugged.
"This place is the Small Cave Heaven of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Ancestor. If we bet here, Dao Yun will witness. Anyone who renegesâyour Divine Tribulation path ends right here!"
Jin Taixui raised his chin, staring at Xi Xi, wildly arrogant.
The ten-year-old youthâs brashness and conceit were on full display.
Xi Xiâs eyes lit up immediately.
Yun E quickly covered Xi Xiâs mouth: "Xi Xi, weâre not gambling with him..."
Yun E naturally understood Jin Taixuiâs strengthâit was unquestionably formidable. Even if she carried the Temple God within her, defeating him was not guaranteed.
He came from Wushen Mountain. His methods, known far and wide for their eerie nature, likely included techniques to counter the Temple God.
Xi Xi pried Yun Eâs hand away, stood on tiptoes, and patted Yun Eâs shoulder like a seasoned adult.
"Sister Yun E, have no fear! Emperor Xi Xi is here, and I also have my trump cards!"
Xi Xi said seriously.
"What are we betting on, Golden Tabby Cat?"
With her hands on her hips, Xi Xiâs little belly bobbed up and down.
"Simple. Weâll bet on the third round Temple Guardian Testâwho claims first place."
"If youâre first, Iâll be your charioteer and servant."
"If Iâm first, youâll come with me to Wushen Mountain to see the Great Witch God."
Jin Taixui laughed, finally revealing his true ambition.
Xi Xiâs talent... absolutely extraordinary!
In a fleeting moment, Jin Taixui had glimpsed Xi Xiâs cascading Purple Aura Divinity Pillarâit was unbelievably immense!
Purple Qi Reaching Heaven might not even be this little girlâs limit!
A perfect all-rounder...
A little girl like this would surely earn the Great Witch Godâs favor!
"Simply to visit the Great Witch God at Wushen Mountain?" Xi Xi asked curiously.
"Yes, thatâs all," Jin Taixui replied.
