The Eastern Mirror stood still.
The shattered mirror fragments around him suddenly erupted, condensing behind him into a huge halo composed of countless mirror blades.
The roulette wheel has jagged, sawtooth-like edges, and its surface is shimmering with a brilliant interplay of gold and white light, resembling an overlapping and intertwined phantom of the sun and moon.
"When the fog clears, the three signs appear, and the sun and moon shine eternally."
Amidst whispers, the massive mirror-blade chariot collapsed with a deafening roar.
All the light receded and gathered at his fingertips.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Divine Light - Sun and Moon Eternal".
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Jing pointed his fingertip at the Spider King with a human face in front of him.
The next moment, a very thin, very bright, yet completely cold, golden-white beam of light flashed by.
At the end of the beam of light, the Spider King's body suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, a golden-white streak of light that ran through his entire body exploded out from the center of his body.
As time passed, the surface of the Spider King's body began to decompose little by little.
Ultimately, it was completely annihilated!
Apart from the spider webs and venom scattered all over the ground, there was nothing else about it.
Not even a spirit ring was left behind!
At the same time, the clear and solemn female voice also rang in Dongfang Jing's mind.
[The Fourth Trial of the Blazing Sun God - Slaying Evil and Exterminating Evil.]
[Slayed an evil soul beast over 50,000 years old (1/2), complete.]
[Fourth Exam Overall Progress (1/3)]
call...
Dongfang Jing let out a long breath, dispelling the state of being possessed by his martial spirit.
The entire battle lasted only a few minutes, and he won easily.
Just then, a green figure hurriedly ran over from not far away.
"Disciple! Are you alright?"
As soon as Biji ran up to Dongfang Jing, she eagerly grabbed his arm and looked him up and down, her gentle eyes filled with worry.
Dongfang Jing was both amused and exasperated: "Master, I'm fine. Look, not a single hair is missing."
"Nonsense! What if we get poisoned? The venom of that human-faced spider is incredibly potent!" Brigitte ignored him completely, grabbed his hand without explanation, and a pure and gentle life energy surged into his body, examining him carefully.
Her small hands touched and pinched his body, from his arms to his chest, and most importantly, Kunkun, afraid of missing any possible small wounds.
Dongfang Jing felt a little helpless at her nervous appearance, but her heart was warmed.
After carefully examining Dongfang Jing several times and confirming that there were no toxins remaining in his body and no wounds, Bijizi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She gave Dongfang Jing a reproachful glare: "You silly child, why did you suddenly stop moving when you were fighting so well? You almost scared me to death!"
"Oh, soul skills need to be charged up, my wife, please understand~" Dongfang Jing said with a smile as he massaged Biji's shoulders.
"Mother…" Hearing him call her that, Biji's pretty face flushed red and her head drooped.
Even though it was something everyone tacitly agreed to, launching a sneak attack like this is still too childish!
"By the way, disciple, what you just did was..." Bi Ji thought of Dongfang Jing's finger strike and was truly shocked.
They've even lost their spirit rings!
"Yes, my eighth spirit ring is a divinely bestowed spirit ring. Both its age and spirit skill are the most suitable for me."
"And this finger strike is a locking technique, which has the meaning of three aspects."
"One image can dispel illusions, ignore any illusions, disguises, or concealments. All falsehoods are seen through."
"Two-Image Condensed Light: This technique perfectly blends the three distinct attack characteristics of the sun's intensity, the moon's chill, and the mirror's sharpness into one, releasing a powerful strike after instantaneous compression!"
"The Three Symbols are eternal. If an opponent is hit, the beam will continue to burn and spread within the target's body until their life force is completely extinguished!"
"Of course, the prerequisite for unleashing this move is to concentrate and it takes time to build up power."
Upon hearing Dongfang Jing's explanation, Biji clicked her tongue in amazement, her eyes sparkling.
No wonder she cherishes him so much, he's wonderful!
They deserve a good reward!
...
Having achieved their first objective, the two did not linger.
They then returned to the habitat of the Emerald Swan population.
The bamboo and wood house that Dongfang Jing built by hand still stands quietly in the forest.
No one had lived there for several years, and a thick layer of dust had settled inside the house.
Looking at the familiar house, Dongfang Jing and Biji were both filled with emotion.
"It's been a long time since I've been back," Brigitte said softly, her voice tinged with nostalgia.
"Yes." Dongfang Jing nodded as well. "Master, why don't we stay here tonight? We can clean up a bit."
"Okay," Brigitte replied with a smile.
The two of them got right to work.
They chatted while cleaning, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Soon, the house was cleaned and looked brand new.
Looking at her clean and tidy home, Brigitte smiled with satisfaction.
Looking at her smiling face, Dongfang Jing felt a sense of peace in his heart.
He thoroughly enjoyed this simple yet warm feeling.
Having finally returned here, he saw several guardian spirit beasts and swans who were close to him.
Dongfang Jing decided to cook for them again and prepare a sumptuous meal.
When the familiar aroma of food wafted through the woods once more, the emerald swans excitedly gathered around, emitting joyful calls.
Da Ming and Er Ming also came over, drawn by the aroma. Seeing Dongfang Jing busy at the stove, both of them showed a human-like look of nostalgia in their eyes.
The dinner was a very pleasant and enjoyable meal.
The night was deep and quiet, and all was still.
Dongfang Jing sat cross-legged in his room, meditating with his eyes closed.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open.
Brigitte walked in wearing only a thin, cool long dress.
Seeing that Dongfang Jing seemed to be focused on cultivation, Biji did not speak, but silently walked up to him.
Those eyes, usually so gentle and tender, now held a hint of melancholy.
Still pretending? Let's see how long you can keep up the act!
Dongfang Jing felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and said helplessly, "Master, we still have to travel tomorrow to find our next target. It's not good to overwork ourselves..."
However, Brigitte's next words stunned him.
"My disciple," her voice was soft, tinged with a barely perceptible hint of grievance, "in the few days since you returned, except for the first day, you've spent every night with your Ah Yin..."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, he killed Tang San, so he had to return the favor to Ah Yin, right?
Before he could even think of what to say, Brigitte had already bent down, placing her hands on either side of his body, trapping him between the bed and her.
A faint, sweet fragrance drifted into Dongfang Jing's nostrils, stirring his heart.
Brigitte gently pushed him down onto the bed, then straddled him.
She gently bit her lip, her eyes sparkling.
"My disciple, shall you entrust everything to your master?" Brigitte's cheek was close to his ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe.
In a barely audible voice, she murmured, "My husband, I'm so lonely..."
...
The next morning,
When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window into the bamboo house, Dongfang Jing slowly opened his eyes.
He suddenly realized that fighting the proactive Brigitte was even more dangerous than fighting the Spider Queen.
One wrong move and you'll be out of there.
Looking at Bi Ji, who was still fast asleep beside him with a satisfied smile on her face, Dongfang Jing smiled helplessly, and quietly got up and dressed.
After Biji woke up, the two spent some more time together before bidding farewell to the Emerald Swan Clan and Da Ming and Er Ming, and leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.
The silver-gray Soul Guide sports car sped along the dirt road.
Inside the car, Dongfang Jing drove while telling Biji about his upcoming plans.
"Master, the Star Dou Great Forest is too vast. Finding another 50,000-year-old evil soul beast that meets the requirements here is like finding a needle in a haystack. We don't know where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has gone. We can't waste time searching for it."
Biji nodded and asked, "Then what do you mean, my disciple?"
"Let's go to sea."
