Deep within Yaochi, immortal mist billowed, with myriad rays of light and auspicious colors.
A woman in a flowing snow-white dress, with peerless beauty, slowly stepped out.
Her hair was like snow, her skin like jade, her immortal face peerless, like a beauty from a painting.
Her figure was graceful, her delicate body slender and upright, like a Tianshan snow lotus.
Every inch of her skin was like the finest suet jade, imbued with a lustrous and delicate sheen.
Her beauty alone was beyond description.
But what was most striking was not her face, but her ethereal temperament, like the clear halo of a new moon or snow piled on a jade tree.
She was holy and pure, transcendent and unworldly, as if she did not partake in mortal affairs.
Around her, the Great Dao resonated, auspicious signs descended from the heavens, and countless ancient, profound Dao runes automatically manifested between heaven and earth.
"It's the Jiang Family Goddess, and also the current Yaochi Saintess; she has appeared!"
"Hiss… with such astonishing Dao phenomena, to what extent has the Jiang Family Goddess cultivated her Innate Dao Embryo?"
"She obtained the Legacy of the West Queen Mother on the Burial Emperor Star."
Jiang Shengyi's appearance caused a stir among the many Cultivators watching the show throughout the heavens and earth.
It could be said that the root of this conflict originated from the nine aperture saint spirit stone embryo that Jiang Shengyi obtained.
Of course, Jiang Shengyi had no fault whatsoever.
It was all the Stone Emperor's greed.
At this moment, Jiang Shengyi appeared and looked at the Bone Woman.
Her peerlessly beautiful immortal face was incredibly cold.
"You, dare to say that again?"
No matter what, even when Holy Spirit Island came to her door to force her to hand over the nine aperture saint spirit stone embryo, Jiang Shengyi's state of mind would not fluctuate in the slightest.
But she would not allow, nor could she tolerate, anyone's contempt and baseless remarks towards Jun Xiaoyao.
The Bone Woman's act of stepping on Jun Xiaoyao and praising the Stone Emperor undoubtedly touched Jiang Shengyi's inverse scale.
Hearing this, the Bone Woman still sneered, but a hint of jealousy flickered in her eyes.
Indeed, Jiang Shengyi's appearance, figure, and temperament all made her jealous.
Although she was also very beautiful, compared to Jiang Shengyi—no, perhaps there was no comparison at all.
"What, did I say something wrong? My Master is the direct descendant of a Great Completion Holy Spirit, destined to be king upon birth."
"Jun Xiaoyao has fallen, becoming a thing of the past. His glory is no more!"
As soon as the Bone Woman finished speaking.
In an instant, she was horrified.
Jiang Shengyi, without her knowing when, had already directly streaked through the Void Realm, appearing before her as if shrinking the ground into an inch.
Slap!
An incredibly loud slap landed heavily on the Bone Woman's face.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
A series of crisp slapping sounds rang out.
Everyone was somewhat stunned, not expecting such a thing to happen.
Finally, with a loud slap.
The Bone Woman's head was slapped off.
"Presumptuous!"
A Profound Venerable-level Holy Spirit made a move, attempting to stop her.
As a result, two more figures appeared from Yaochi's side.
They were Jiang Shengyi's Master, Yu Qingning, and the contemporary Yaochi Saintess.
The Yaochi Saintess, dressed in a white gown, extended her palm and repelled the Profound Venerable-level Holy Spirit.
"Chaos Dao Venerable…"
The repelled Profound Venerable-level Holy Spirit had a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shengyi had safely retreated back into the Yaochi camp.
Her snow-white dress fluttered, her jade-like skin and immortal bones exuded an ethereal grace. It was impossible to tell that she had just been furiously slapping someone.
The Bone Woman was enraged.
Her head flew back on its own, landing on her neck.
She was originally a Holy Spirit formed by the Fusion of immortal gold and bones, so it didn't matter if her head fell off.
But for her, this was an absolute humiliation.
Her beautiful face was almost disfigured, covered in cracks.
The Holy Spirit's recovery ability was strong, and the Bone Woman activated the divine power within her body, wanting to recover.
But she found that it simply couldn't heal.
The injuries on her face were not ordinary injuries, but injuries of the Great Dao.
In other words, this was a disfigurement on the level of Law, almost impossible to heal.
"Jiang Shengyi, what did you do to me!"
The Bone Woman's already disfigured face was now incredibly distorted.
She was a follower of the Stone Emperor, and herself a high and mighty Seed-level Heavenly Champions.
Now, she was disfigured in public, and her head was even slapped off, which made her go absolutely crazy.
"This is the price for speaking disrespectfully. Xiaoyao is not someone you are qualified to evaluate."
Jiang Shengyi's thick eyelashes lowered, and her tone was unquestionable.
She had been in seclusion, and Yu Qingning and the Yaochi Saintess had not told Jiang Shengyi about Jun Xiaoyao's situation.
But Jiang Shengyi could vaguely sense something.
However, she would not believe it.
She would not believe that Jun Xiaoyao would end this way.
"He's just a dead man…" The Bone Woman's face was twisted.
Jiang Shengyi's eyes, incredibly cold, looked at the Bone Woman, with a blizzard seeming to rage between her brows.
The Bone Woman instantly sobered up, shivering.
She actually felt a sense of impending death.
"In my eyes, you are but an ant."
"The reason I don't kill you is because I want you to know just how foolish and ignorant the Master you speak of truly is!"
Let alone Jun Xiaoyao, even the current Jiang Shengyi would not back down in the slightest against the Stone Emperor.
Hearing these words, many Cultivators from the surrounding forces who were watching the battle took a deep breath.
"Is the current Jiang Family Goddess already strong enough to regard Seed-level Heavenly Champions as ants?"
"But she's really beautiful and fierce! I love such a domineering beauty!"
From the Yaochi side, the Yaochi Saintess, dressed in a white gown, stepped out and said coldly, "You can still retreat now. This farce should end."
"End? Impossible!"
The Bone Woman's voice was sharp, filled with hatred.
This was a mission given to them by the Stone Emperor; how could they return without success?
Just then, among the group of beings from Holy Spirit Island, the Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin, located at the very back, stepped forward.
Its entire body shimmered with purple divine radiance, incredibly dazzling and resplendent, with surging immortal light.
"Divine Mark Purple Gold!"
Seeing the Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin, the powerhouses from Haoyang Sacred Ground, Tai Xuan Gate, and Qingxia Grotto-heaven all gasped.
The entire Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin was, astonishingly, composed of Divine Mark Purple Gold.
This was a Holy Spirit that had transformed from Divine Mark Purple Gold.
Its aura was even more astonishing, having reached the Perfection of the Dao Venerable realm, and was even just one step away from being a Quasi-Emperor.
"This Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin seems to be the companion Spirit Beast of the Stone Emperor's father, that Great Completion Holy Spirit of Holy Spirit Island!"
So-called companion Spirit Beasts are Holy Spirits that form alongside some supreme Holy Spirit Stone embryos.
Having been nourished by the Holy Embryo for a long time, their innate talent and strength are definitely not weak.
"Hand over the nine aperture saint spirit stone embryo, or else Yaochi Holy Land will inevitably be turned upside down today!"
The Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin's tone was incredibly indifferent.
It had followed the Great Completion Holy Spirit for a long time, and had long developed an arrogant and imperious personality.
This time, it personally came to obtain the nine aperture saint spirit stone embryo for its young Master, the Stone Emperor.
The Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin exuded an incredibly powerful Qi, only one step away from being a Quasi-Emperor.
The Yaochi Saintess's expression was somewhat grim.
Although they were both Chaos Dao Venerables, the Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin was clearly stronger than her.
Not to mention that under similar cultivation levels, Holy Spirits inherently held an advantage over the Human Race.
As for Yu Qingning, although she was once the head of a generation of Yaochi, her Physical Body had only recently been reshaped, and her strength was far from its Peak.
Yaochi Holy Land also had Quasi-Emperors, but they were in secluded slumber, and waking them would require a certain price.
It could be said that Yaochi Holy Land was truly being forced into a desperate situation by Holy Spirit Island.
And at this moment, Jiang Shengyi stepped forward with light lotus steps, her exquisitely beautiful immortal face as calm as water.
"Master, Saintess, this matter arose because of Shengyi, so let me resolve it alone."
"How can that be?"
The Yaochi Saintess, the Grand Elder, and others all spoke to stop her.
It was already a blessing for their Yaochi to be able to recruit Jiang Shengyi.
How could they let her face everything alone?
Jiang Shengyi gently shook her head, her eyes as calm as water.
She stepped forward and said, "It's impossible to hand over the nine-窍 stone embryo willingly. If you want it, come and take it!"
Even when facing a supreme powerhouse like the Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin, Jiang Shengyi showed no fear whatsoever.
"Are you trying to use the Jiang Family to intimidate us?" The Purple-Gold Sacred Kirin's tone was cold.
Jiang Shengyi's backing was nothing more than the Jiang Family.
"Let me do it!"
From Holy Spirit Island's side, a Holy Spirit exuding the aura of a Little Heavenly Venerate made a move. Its entire body shone like silver, being a Holy Spirit transformed from deep-sea sunken silver.
This Little Heavenly Venerate-level Holy Spirit directly suppressed Jiang Shengyi.
"Hmph, let's see how you struggle this time!" The Bone Woman's face showed a twisted, vengeful pleasure.
She couldn't deal with Jiang Shengyi, but that didn't mean no one could subdue her.
Jiang Shengyi's brows were filled with a blizzard, and her snow-white hair fluttered, like an angry exiled Fairy.
However, at this very moment.
In the Void Realm of the sky, a terrifying Law hand suddenly appeared, entwined with Chaos Energy as heavy as a mountain, like a collapsing sky, pressing down on that Little Heavenly Venerate Holy Spirit.
With a thunderous roar, the earth shattered into pieces.
That Little Heavenly Venerate Holy Spirit was directly smashed into the ground, its fate unknown.
"Holy Spirit Island, do you wish to be annihilated?"
An incredibly cold and indifferent voice emerged, resounding throughout this region.
Many people were still in a state of confusion.
When Jiang Shengyi heard this voice, her delicate body suddenly trembled, and the usual holy purity and coldness vanished.
Her eyes became moist.
No matter how much time had passed, she could always recognize this voice immediately.
