The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1091: Temporarily fooled

Thinking of the formation she had set up, Xiao Han scanned it with her last glimmer of hope.

Then, she saw the ball of flame crash into the array's restrictions with a bang.

Xiao Han didn't know if the formation could withstand the power of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, so she hurriedly said, "I know you have a spirit. Don't run away yet. Listen to me. If you're unwilling, I'll let you leave."

I've heard that the Karmic Fire Red Lotus is the most righteous of all the Chaos Treasures. Presumably, even if you were to choose a master, you would select a cultivator with great merit. See if my merit is sufficient. If not, I'll take you to the God Realm to find a master you're satisfied with, shall we?"

Xiao Han wouldn't believe that such a chaotic treasure could exist without developing sentience.

She knew that with her mere Divine Lord Realm strength, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus would definitely look down on her.

As for her trying to forcibly take this chaotic treasure, that would be a joke.

So a hundred years ago, she had already devised a plan: first, use an array to block the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and while temporarily trapping it, see if she could fool it—or rather, appeal to its emotions and reason with it, and make this treasure choose her.

Sure enough, the dazzling crimson lotus flame stopped striking the barrier, spun around Xiao Han once, and then a childish voice came from within the flame.

"How could such a weak ant be worthy of being my master? I wouldn't have chosen you if you hadn't given away half of your merit, and now that you only have half of your merit left, I will choose you even less."

Xiao Han had a heart attack immediately; it was infuriating!

Even though she's climbed to the realm of gods, she's still called an ant. The spirits of these ancient treasures are even more arrogant than cultivators.

She wished she could transform into a creator god right now, beat these non-human artifact spirits until they cried for their parents, and then erase all their intelligence.

She felt both resentful and aggrieved, yet she still had to coax him with sweet words.

"It's alright if you don't choose me. I can take you to the God Realm and help you find a powerful cultivator with a lot of merit to be your master. After all, you must have expended a lot of your original power to suppress and purify the great evil cultivator Blood Feast. You should find a good master to recuperate properly within his body."

The child's innocent voice rang out again, "I don't need you to take me; I can find it myself."

Xiao Han immediately expressed her disapproval, "This interface is an abandoned one, devoid of any living beings, and filled with mixed spiritual and foul energy. How much energy will it take for you to break out of this interface?"

But it's different if you come with me. I can easily take you away from here and into the highest realm of all the heavens and worlds—the God Realm.

The fire spirit of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus was somewhat tempted, then pretended to be mature and threatened Xiao Han, "If you dare to lie to me and use any means to trap me, I will burn you to ashes."

Xiao Han rolled her eyes inwardly, but on the surface she solemnly assured him, "Look at all the merits I have, and you'll know I'm not that kind of wicked person. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in the golden light of merits on my body."

Although she herself couldn't see it, since the Blood Banquet said she had it and she was halfway through the journey, she must have accumulated merit.

Fire Spirit thought Xiao Han's words made a lot of sense. "Alright, then I'll stay in your body for now, and I'll leave when I find a suitable master."

The Creator God sealed it here along with the evil cultivators' blood feast. Now that it has finally regained its freedom, it originally did not want to find itself a master.

But the Fire Spirit was afraid that if it were without a master, it would be captured by the Creator God again and forced to work, and then sealed away for another million years to suppress and purify other evil people. How could it then display its divine power and shine brightly outside?

Having an owner makes all the difference; it's not ownerless anymore, so it won't be forcibly sealed away to do work.

Xiao Han was overjoyed, never expecting that she had actually succeeded in fooling him.

Although this chaotic treasure may leave him at any time, as long as it stays inside his body, he can have close contact with it and brainwash it every day, and maybe he can trick it into recognizing him as its master again.

Well, it's not necessarily a bad thing that the Chaos Treasure has sentience.

The next moment, Xiao Han felt a small flame enter between her eyebrows.

Having temporarily kept the Chaos Treasure, Xiao Han didn't linger any longer and put away the array plate.

He glanced at Xue Yan's body again, feeling a pang of emotion. A heretical cultivator who had been imprisoned for a million years had met a rather tragic end.

If it weren't for meeting that unlucky girl, there would be no chance of reincarnation at this moment, and he would only be reduced to ashes.

It flew out of the cave and looked around from high above.

At this moment, the thick fog that had surrounded the mountaintop had disappeared, and the mountaintop here looked just like anywhere else.

Xiao Han raised her palm and slapped down.

Let's smash this mountain to dust, and make everything about this evil cultivator disappear from this world.

While Xiao Han was dealing with the aftermath of the Blood Banquet by deceiving the Chaos Treasure Fire Spirit, Shui Wuhen from the God Realm was searching for information about whether Xiao Han had returned at the office of the interdimensional teleportation array.

Not long ago, he finally emerged from his seclusion.

Over the course of a hundred years, he not only completely absorbed the soul that wanted to possess him, but also raised his cultivation to the Divine Lord realm.

Having ascended to the Divine Lord realm in just over a hundred years, his talent and opportunity truly aroused envy, jealousy, and hatred among the other cultivators within the Divine Palace.

On the path to immortality, some people struggle to advance to a higher realm even after tens of thousands of years, while others advance easily in just a hundred years.

In this world, people have different fates, and there is no such thing as fairness.

Of course, Shui Wuhen's situation is largely accidental and would not attract the attention of the higher-ups in the Divine Palace.

Unless one is a genius like Ling Xiao who cultivated to the God Emperor level in just over a thousand years and advanced through each major realm exceptionally quickly, it is not something that can truly make people take notice.

After Shui Wuhen emerged from seclusion, he contacted Xiao Han.

He didn't think much of it when he couldn't get in touch the first time. After all, it's possible to lose contact with a cultivator when they're in deep seclusion, or even if they're in a special location.

After the Divine Palace issued a recruitment decree stating that independent cultivators could also apply, Shui Wuhen immediately thought of Xiao Han.

I wonder if Xiao Han would be willing to participate.

However, no matter how he tried to contact them, he couldn't get through.

Shui Wuhen suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that Xiao Han has encountered danger in the Demon Realm?

Although he had always had a mysterious confidence in Xiao Han's luck, he couldn't help but be confused by his concern.

After careful consideration, Shui Wuhen finally decided to make a trip to the floating island where the interdimensional teleportation array was located.

All cultivators who are teleported to the Demon Realm will have an activation array plate to return to.

Shui Wuhen decided to go to the Divine Palace office responsible for teleportation to inquire whether Xiao Han's activation array disk had been returned.

The teleportation activation array disk that you retrieved was obtained when you paid the teleportation fee. It was registered with your identity jade token, which included the disk's serial number.

Shui Wuhen is a cultivator from the Divine Palace, and now he has reached the Divine Lord realm. It is quite easy for him to inquire about matters that do not require secrecy.

But when he saw that Xiao Han's activation array plate had not been returned, his heart sank to the bottom.

Shui Wuhen immediately decided to go to the Demon Realm to find Xiao Han.
