She became a god

On one hand, there's arduous physical training; on the other, there's lying down and sleeping soundly.

Ye Qingzhou naturally found a comfortable spot in An Qi's arms and fell asleep immediately.

Sleep is bliss!

"Master, you're spoiling your junior sister again. All she does all day is eat and sleep. If she doesn't get some exercise, I'm afraid she'll become as fat as a ball soon."

Angie, enjoying the wonderful feel of Zhouzhou's glossy fur, chimed in, "Let's talk about it when he's all chubby. Right now, Zhouzhou feels so comfortable to touch. Do you want to try?"

Meng Jing frowned as she took Ye Qingzhou out of An Qi's arms. "She wasn't this heavy when I carried her this morning. How about we add some morning and evening practice sessions for her in the future?"

Angie asked in surprise, "You really want her to develop abs?"

Meng Jing retorted, "Shouldn't people work on getting abs?"

Angie frowned. "You should train, but can you imagine a little panda standing up, raising its hands, and showing off its abs? That's too weird."

Meng Jing shook her head. "The reason Master finds it strange is because in your eyes, fluffy things should be round and chubby, the rounder the cuter they are??? But animals in nature follow the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, how could they not have muscles?"

"Junior sister has lived too comfortably, and the elders like Master can't bear to see her suffer, which is why her physical strength is so weak."

Anqi sighed at Ye Qingzhou's tragic fate. Meng Jing had been able to say so much today, so it seemed that she already had a plan in mind. Her determination to become her junior sister and gain muscle was extraordinary.

He knew he would eventually have the opportunity to go into seclusion, so rather than not knowing how Meng Jing would train Ye Qingzhou then, he might as well watch it with his own eyes.

"Physical training cannot be accomplished overnight. Your junior sister's foundation in physical cultivation is indeed weak, so you must not be too hasty."

Seeing that her master had agreed, Meng Jing smiled and said, "Disciple obeys."

When Ye Qingzhou woke up, he felt that the world had changed drastically.

There was no soft, comfortable bed around me, no sweet fruit at hand, and no gentle breeze or chirping birds in my ears.

Ye Qingzhou rubbed his eyes with his two little front paws. Sure enough, all he could see was a bare patch of ground.

"Finally woke up?"

Ye Qingzhou turned around upon hearing the sound and found Meng Jing right behind him, which put his mind at ease. It turned out that she hadn't been kidnapped by bad guys.

"Senior sister, I always take an afternoon nap until this time."

Meng Jing frowned. "You're quite proud of yourself?"

Ye Qingzhou chuckled and took out a fruit from his Qiankun bag to eat. "Great-Grandma said that being able to sleep is a blessing."

"Senior sister, I've also stocked up on a lot of sleep-inducing incense. If you have trouble sleeping, you can ask me for some."

Meng Jing gave a strange smile, "Why should insomnia be treated? Insomnia is clearly a good thing for cultivators."

"what?"

Ye Qingzhou dropped the fruit from her mouth. "Why is insomnia a good thing?"

"The path of cultivation is inherently about fighting against all living beings, so time is extremely precious. Cultivators are uniquely blessed and do not need to sleep, so it would be a waste not to use their sleep time for cultivation."

Ye Qingzhou's tail, which had been swaying, curled up, and she silently took a small step back.

"Isn't it a bit much to push yourself like this?"

"Cultivating immortality is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. If you don't fight, many other cultivators will. If you are above all others, you can live a carefree and leisurely life. But if you are among the masses, how can you be careless and underestimate your enemies?"

Ye Qingzhou clapped her two little front paws with great understanding, "Senior sister is right!"

Meng Jing was not so easily fooled. "Starting tomorrow, you will practice with me for one hour every day at 5 PM. Our master is the ruler of the underworld, and we, as her disciples, must not be subordinate to other fellow Daoists."

Before Ye Qingzhou could politely decline, Meng Jing asked again, "Where do you rank on the Golden Core Talent List?"

The Elite Ranking is compiled by the Elite Alliance based on the strength of cultivators under three thousand years old, and is divided into six categories: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Void Refining.

Cultivators above the Refinement stage are beyond the scope of the Elite Alliance's assessment.

Currently, the top two on the Refining Void Talent Ranking are Qingluan from the Phoenix Clan of the Demon Realm and Meng Jing, the young master of the Underworld; the second are Yunxiao from the Heavenly Realm and Miaozhu from the Buddhist Realm; and the third are Shi Jing from the Demon Realm and Xuanyuan Yi from the Human Realm.

Speaking of Xuanyuan Yi in the human realm, he is a member of the clan of the human ruler Xuanyuan Wuji. The single character "Yi" shows the high expectations his family has for him—to make him the number one person in the six realms.

From the current perspective, he is indeed the number one person in the Six Realms at the Void Refinement stage, but not the number one cultivator in the Six Realms at the Void Refinement stage.

Ye Qingzhou was several hundred years older than these Nascent Soul stage geniuses from the Six Realms. She was honest and quite satisfied with her current situation, saying, "I'm ranked eleventh on the Golden Core talent list."

Meng Jing was not satisfied. "If you were ranked eleventh in the Nascent Soul stage, that would be one thing, but you're ranked eleventh on the Golden Core list. It's a disgrace to your master."

"Really?" Ye Qingzhou blinked. "Does Master really care about this?"

Being gazed at by those clear eyes, Meng Jing couldn't help but feel guilty for a moment. "Although Master doesn't say it, as disciples, we have to figure it out ourselves. You need to work harder and become the number one on the Golden Core Talent Ranking as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand."

Senior Sister Juan Wang wants to take me to the top to surprise Master. What should I do?

"Tell me, if I were to fight Qingluan, what are my chances of winning? We are both ranked first on the list of talents, but when other fellow Daoists talk about us, they always mention her first and then me. This is not fair."

Wow! It seems my senior sister is unwilling to share first place!

Ye Qingzhou didn't want to offend either of them, so he suggested a 50/50 split.

"No compromises allowed!"

Ye Qingzhou rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "40/60, you get 40% and she gets 60%."

"You really think highly of her?"

Ye Qingzhou said seriously, "Although Senior Sister and Sister Yangyang have similar cultivation levels, your overall strength is slightly inferior to hers."

Ye Qingzhou pinched two little fingers together as an analogy, "Just this little bit."

Meng Jing was puzzled, "Where am I inferior to her?"

"Senior sister, let me put it this way. Your cultivation level is 99, I won't say 100 because I'm afraid you'll get arrogant. However, your skill level is 89, and hers is 99. In actual combat, you will definitely be at a slight disadvantage."

"You think she's smarter than me?"

Ye Qingzhou nodded slightly. "Or rather, Sister Yangyang is ruthless enough to herself. If it were Senior Sister, she definitely wouldn't risk being expelled from the family to elope, even if there were huge benefits."

"But Sister Yangyang dared to do it. She dared to deal with a powerful being in the Mahayana stage while only at the Void Refinement stage. She did this even after being branded as a love-struck fool and stripped of her title as a princess. She still managed to feign friendship with a top-tier being who wanted to devour her."

Hearing this, Meng Jing's resentment lessened somewhat, and she then asked, "If I also seek out a top-tier expert to undergo worldly tribulations, could I surpass her?"

Ye Qingzhou reminded her, "Senior sister, Sister Yangyang almost died. Besides, it's not easy to find a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage."

Although Meng Jing still frowned, she listened to Ye Qingzhou's advice.

After all, she cultivates to become stronger, not to seek death through cultivation.
