Chapter 1416: Rivals in Love Meet?

Xu Nian took a step forward, unleashing the Shrinking Ground Principle.

With one step, he arrived at the site of the battle.

In front of him, two women were currently engaged in combat with a Hell Fierce Bear of Immortal King Level.

This Hell Fierce Bear was exactly the same as the one on the third level of the Supreme Tower, both being at the Early Stage Immortal King.

However, the cultivation of the two women was not high, one was at the Golden Immortal Early Stage, while the other was at the Golden Immortal Late Stage.

Seeing these two figures, Xu Nian could not help but pause for a moment.

Because he discovered that he actually knew both of these figures.

"Huh, why is it them?" Xu Nian said in surprise.

The two stunning women before him were none other than Ji Qingyu, the Holy Daughter of the Immortal Sovereign Hall, and Xu Nian’s confidante Xuanyuan Qingling.

At this moment, Ji Qingyu’s cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal Late Stage.

Regarding this, Xu Nian was not surprised.

Ji Qingyu, as the Holy Daughter of the Immortal Sovereign Hall, enjoyed extremely abundant resources.

Her cultivation advancement was almost very easy.

But what Xu Nian did not expect was that Xuanyuan Qingling’s cultivation had already reached the Golden Immortal Early Stage.

"Interesting!" Xu Nian let out a light chuckle.

Unexpectedly, he encountered these two during the trial at Shendang Mountain.

Recalling what Li Tian had said to him earlier, that Ji Qingyu liked women.

Now seeing her with Xuanyuan Qingling, Xu Nian couldn’t help but think in that direction.

"However, it seems Ji Qingyu’s insight cultivation is a bit lacking, as she has only reached the first stage of the Middle Stage of Law, while Qingling seems still stuck at the Early Stage of Law." Xu Nian shook his head helplessly.

With only this level of cultivation, to come to this central region was simply courting death.

This Hell Fierce Bear could easily annihilate them.

At this moment, the two were being beaten badly by the Hell Fierce Bear.

Had it not been for the Hell Fierce Bear holding a playful attitude, they would have long lost the qualification for the trial.

"Buzz!"

The Hell Fierce Bear threw a punch at Xuanyuan Qingling, containing extremely terrifying power.

Xuanyuan Qingling was already injured and unable to resist.

On the other side, Ji Qingyu wanted to stop it, but found herself unable to move.

Seeing this, Xu Nian shook his head helplessly.

Instantly, he moved out and a sharp needle condensed.

"Buzz!"

The sharp needle, condensed from the Extreme Point Penetration Law, directly pierced through the Hell Fierce Bear’s head.

The next moment, the Hell Fierce Bear perished completely.

Of course, this was also because Xu Nian had launched a sneak attack.

If it were a frontal battle, with the Earth Fierce Bear using the Shrinking Ground Principle, it would be difficult for Xu Nian to hit it.

"Xu Nian? How are you here?"

Ji Qingyu was stunned at the sight of Xu Nian.

Of course, Xuanyuan Qingling was even more astonished, seeing Xu Nian stopped her entirely.

Her phoenix-like eyes stared straight at Xu Nian, afraid that everything in front of her was a dream.

Xu Nian smiled at Xuanyuan Qingling and then looked towards Ji Qingyu, "Why couldn’t it be me? You forgot I told you I am a disciple of Shendang Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyu remembered that Xu Nian had told her he was an honorary disciple of the Taichu Immortal Emperor.

"Thank you for saving me," Ji Qingyu said.

The injuries inside started to heal gradually.

Xuanyuan Qingling also walked over.

"Qingling, let me introduce you, this is the person I told you about last time, the one who saved my life. I originally wanted to recruit him, but unfortunately, he had already joined Shendang Mountain. His name is Xu Nian," Ji Qingyu said with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Xu Nian," Xu Nian smiled, extending his hand playfully towards Xuanyuan Qingling.

She paused for a moment, and seeing Xu Nian’s smile, she understood his intention.

"Hello, my name is Xuanyuan Qingling, a disciple of the Immortal Sovereign Hall." Xuanyuan Qingling extended her jade hand and shook Xu Nian’s hand.

Ji Qingyu furrowed her brows slightly but did not intervene.

Xu Nian lightly scratched Xuanyuan Qingling’s palm.

Indeed, Qingling understood him well; she knew he wanted to keep their relationship secret and willingly pretended not to know him.

"Alright, Xu Nian, what technique did you use just now to kill that Hell Fierce Bear?" Ji Qingyu diverted the topic.

As she spoke, she guarded Xuanyuan Qingling behind her.

It must be said, Xuanyuan Qingling was exceptionally beautiful, unmatched in looks.

Now, having become a Golden Immortal, the aura on her became even more captivating.

Of course, Ji Qingyu was not lacking either, with her graceful figure, exquisite face.

Xuanyuan Qingling was somewhat embarrassed by Ji Qingyu’s actions.

If it were a usual man, she wouldn’t mind, but at this moment, she faced Xu Nian.

"Don’t misunderstand, Ji Qingyu she..." Xuanyuan Qingling hurriedly explained via Soul Transmission.

"I know, she’s pursuing you." Xu Nian replied with a smile via Soul Transmission.

"So, you wanted me to pretend not to know you, so you could tease her?" Xuanyuan Qingling was very clever, naturally understanding Xu Nian’s intention.

"Kind of, just curious to know what being considered a female rival by another woman would be like." Xu Nian transmitted.

"Xu Nian, I... miss you!" Xuanyuan Qingling suddenly transmitted.

Xu Nian felt warm at heart upon hearing this.

He knew Xuanyuan Qingling was a shy person; her being able to say something like this meant she truly missed him.

"I miss you too!" Xu Nian transmitted back.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qingling immediately smiled radiantly, her smile stunningly beautiful.

Ji Qingyu was unaware that Xu Nian was communicating with Xuanyuan Qingling through Soul Transmission.

And Xu Nian’s Soul Transmission with Xuanyuan Qingling was completed in an instant, so she didn’t notice at all.

"Just some simple methods," Xu Nian explained with a smile.

Ji Qingyu nodded and didn’t inquire further.

Actually, she knew about the Law Manifestation, but she didn’t think about it.

Firstly, she felt it was impossible for Xu Nian to reach the Law Manifestation level, and secondly, she was merely using it as a topic to interrupt the connection between Xu Nian and Xuanyuan Qingling, not genuinely wanting to know what technique Xu Nian used.

So she wasn’t concerned about Xu Nian’s answer.

"Looks like you’re officially part of Shendang Mountain now, and have surpassed to the Golden Immortal Realm Early Stage, congratulations." Ji Qingyu said with a smile.

Xu Nian smiled softly, not paying much attention.

"Why is your Immortal Sovereign Hall participating in our Shendang Mountain’s trial?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"The Immortal Sovereign Hall is a friendly force to Shendang Mountain, so every Sky-reaching Stele trial, our hall sends outstanding disciples to participate, so it’s not surprising," Ji Qingyu replied with a smile.

"Where is your main body, in the Immortal Sovereign Hall or Shendang Mountain?" Xu Nian continued to ask.

"Our main body is still in the Immortal Sovereign Hall, we entered this space through a token," Ji Qingyu replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian felt a bit disappointed.

If they were at Shendang Mountain, he could meet Xuanyuan Qingling in reality.
