Chapter 2234: Chapter 739:
As she moved with grace, she exuded a dominating presence as if she could swallow rivers and mountains, overwhelming heaven and earth.
Above her head, a Star Treasure Mirror emitted divine light in all directions, obliterating all laws wherever it shone, leaving her as the sole ruler!
“Is this the power of the Divine Maiden Palace Master…”
Lu Changsheng realized that the strength of this Divine Maiden Palace Master was extraordinary, surpassing the other Nascent Soul cultivators.
Indeed, with the appearance of the Palace Master, the two Nascent Soul cultivators who had come to attack from the nine heavens above were immediately at a disadvantage.
However, the two did not retreat at the first opportunity; they still struggled to resist.
“Are they covering the retreat?”
Besides the Desert Sea Crocodile God, the old man from the Ghost Ship, the ghostly shadows, there were other attackers among the cultivators.
If these two Nascent Soul True Lords retreated, the other invading cultivators would suffer.
So even if they were to retreat, these two Nascent Soul cultivators would wait until the other cultivators had withdrawn first.
Shen Jianjia also realized this aspect, but in a battle of Nascent Soul level, victory is not so easily determined.
Especially since those who came were well-prepared, with various measures at their disposal.
After briefly observing, Lu Changsheng and Shen Yiren quickly hurried back to the Immortal City.
At this moment, Penglai Immortal City was operating the Fourth Rank Forbidden Grand Array with all its might.
The city walls, seemingly constructed of jade, flowed with a layer of crystal-clear luster, interwoven with a myriad of fine patterns flowing across.
Four glass light beams intertwined and soared to the sky, connecting heaven and sea, forming a white jade-glass-like shield enveloping the entire Immortal City, like a silver moon hovering between heaven and earth.
“Fourth Rank Forbidden Grand Array!”
Lu Changsheng recognized that the grand array of Penglai Immortal City surpassed the Fourth Rank grand array of the Yin Ming Ghost Sect in its early years. As Shen Yiren’s spirit boat approached, it was invisibly isolated by a surging qi mechanism, causing the spirit boat to become unstable.
This is the effect of the Forbidden Grand Array, which isolates heaven and earth, forbids space, and forbids techniques!
Even Nascent Soul True Lords would be affected by such a Forbidden Grand Array.
“Third Palace Master, please verify your identity!”
The cultivators in charge of Penglai Immortal City saw Shen Yiren and did not release the grand array but instead spoke out.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yiren performed a gesture incantation, used a secret technique, and then threw out her identity token.
Moments later, a white jade divine light burst forth from the magnificent and vast city gate, guiding the spirit boat onto the city walls.
“This grand array is indeed convenient.”
Lu Changsheng mused to himself, acknowledging that Penglai Immortal City was worthy of being a Fourth Rank Immortal City.
“Is that… the Desert Sea Crocodile God, one of the forty Star Sea Pirates!?”
As the spirit boat landed on the city walls, a cultivator exclaimed upon seeing the Desert Sea Crocodile God bound with ropes.
After all, the Star Sea pirates were notorious for their raids, and the forty chief pirates were infamous, known to all.
Now one of them, the Desert Sea Crocodile God, had been captured by Shen Yiren, which was astonishing.
“What, the Desert Sea Crocodile God!”
“Third Palace Master, you captured the Desert Sea Crocodile God!”
“Damn Star Sea Pirates, how dare they provoke us on Penglai Island!”
The Dan Cultivators on the city walls gathered to investigate, then looked at Shen Yiren with surprise and astonishment.
Each of the forty Star Sea pirates was extremely powerful, and the Desert Sea Crocodile God was a Magic Body Dual Cultivator, ranking in the upper-middle bracket, yet being captured by Shen Yiren was unbelievable.
After all, Penglai Island’s cultivators were aware that the three Palace Masters of the Goddess Palace, including the Great Palace Master and the Second Palace Master, were known for their combat prowess, but only the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren cultivated the Nourishing Life Technique and was not adept at offensive or combative arts.
Earlier on the spirit boat, Lu Changsheng expressed a desire to remain low-key, so Shen Yiren didn’t explain much. She simply nodded slightly and used Huang Shi’s severe injuries as a reason to head to the courtyard where the Goddess Palace was located for healing and recovery.
…
Not long after, the Nascent Soul battle above the heavenly dome ended, and the terrifying menace dissipated.
“Greetings to Tianhe True Monarch!”
“Greetings to the Great Palace Master!”
“Greetings to Shen Palace Master!”
Seeing Shen Jianjia and Tianhe True Monarch descend, all the cultivators in the Immortal City respectfully saluted.
Some Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators even prostrated themselves with reverence.
“Great Palace Master…”
Many were excited, gazing at Shen Jianjia with awe and respect.
After all, for many lower-level cultivators, it might take decades or a lifetime to even see a Nascent Soul True Lord.
Moreover, this was the foremost cultivator of Penglai Island, renowned throughout the Starry Sky Sea!
“Hiss…..”
However, Shen Jianjia’s celestial beauty and figure were shrouded in starlit radiance, making it difficult to see clearly, even causing eyes to sting and heads to spin.
The Nascent Soul True Lord stands exalted, ordinary cultivators lack even the ability to gaze directly, for only by breaking through Core Formation can one be qualified to behold the divine beauty of this Divine Maiden Palace Master!
“Great Palace Master…”
Immediately, a cultivator from the Goddess Palace stepped forward to report to Shen Jianjia about the incident with Third Palace Master Shen Yiren.
“Hmm, I know.”
Naturally, Shen Jianjia was very concerned about her sister, checking on her first thing upon arrival, only to see that she was unharmed.
As for capturing the Desert Sea Crocodile God…
Though her sister’s abilities could indeed achieve this, based on her own understanding, it shouldn’t have been her sister who did it.
Xuanmu Taoist…
She thought of the other four people on the spirit boat at that time.
Without much thought, after giving her instructions, Shen Jianjia gracefully stepped forward, creating ripples of space around her, and her unparalleled elegant figure vanished.
Although flying is forbidden in the Immortal City, let alone such spatial techniques,
but as the master of Penglai Island and the Goddess Palace, within this Immortal City, her strength was even greater than usual, naturally disregarding all prohibitions and traversing as if on flat ground!
The next moment.
Shen Yiren, in the courtyard of the Goddess Palace, felt something and turned her head to look at the door.
She saw the door open, and a woman of celestial elegance, noble and graceful, peerless in beauty, walked in.
“Sister.”
Shen Yiren immediately called out cheerfully, dimples appearing on her cheeks, like a girl next door.
“Little sister…”
Shen Jianjia’s noble and elegant face softened with a gentle smile, noticing her sister’s minor injuries, she stepped forward to clasp her fair jade wrist, inquiring about the situation.
“It was Elder Xuanmu; he has a Fourth Rank Puppet, so…”
Not hiding anything from her sister, Shen Yiren truthfully recounted the events.
“A Fourth Rank Puppet!?”
Even Shen Jianjia was surprised upon hearing that Lu Changsheng possessed a Fourth Rank Puppet.
After all, such a thing was beyond imagination.
Even more astonishing than a Dan Cultivator possessing a spiritual treasure.
“Indeed, thanks to Daoist Xuanmu, otherwise Nephew Huang’s life would have been in danger.”
Shen Yiren, looking at her sister, sought to credit Lu Changsheng.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jianjia paused for a moment, then lightly laughed and said: “I shall accompany you to meet Elder Xuanmu.”
…
“Greetings to the Great Palace Master and Third Palace Master!”
Lu Changsheng, seeing Shen Yiren and Shen Jianjia approaching, immediately bowed to salute.
Indeed, the Great Palace Master before him was truly beautiful!
Her appearance, figure, demeanor, and charisma were all supreme and peerless!
Even though this was their second meeting, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but be moved, his heart inexplicably stirred.
“Elder Xuanmu, there is no need for such formality. Today, my little sister was reckless, thanks to your intervention…”
Shen Jianjia said with a gentle smile, raising her fair silky sleeve to form an invisible mana, helping Lu Changsheng to his feet.
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, knowing Shen Jianjia appreciated his possession of the Fourth Rank Puppet and Third Rank Talisman Formation, portraying herself as humble and courteous.
“As an Honorary Elder of the Goddess Palace, encountering such a situation naturally demands action…”
Lu Changsheng “bitterly smiled” and said aloud.
Finishing, he inadvertently glanced at Shen Yiren.
Such subtle actions couldn’t escape Shen Jianjia’s notice.
Even Shen Yiren, the person involved, sensed it, feeling an inexplicable sense of shyness.
Why did Daoist Xuanmu exhibit such an expression before her sister…
But even in front of her sister, he kept his eyes on her… Thinking this, Shen Yiren felt a hint of inexplicable delight in her heart.
Not out of envy for her sister.
Since childhood, she revered her sister Shen Jianjia as an idol, admiring her greatly.
Knowing that in terms of talent, intelligence, ability, or appearance, she was no match for her sister.
In several centuries of cultivation, she’d never encountered anyone who could resist her sister’s charm and focus attention on herself.
“For today’s events, the Goddess Palace will award you a notable merit, converting it to contribution value. If Elder Xuanmu has any needs or wishes, you may tell this Palace.”
Shen Jianjia spoke, her clear and immaculate eyes glistening with an indescribable allure of nobility and authority.
