Chapter 1834: Not Just Mating

Chapter 349: Isn't It Just Mating?

"What exactly happened?" Zu An instantly grew anxious.

Black Jing Teng sighed faintly. "We just took a hit from that entity. It's only thanks to the protection of the grand array that our souls weren't scattered on the spot. But how formidable was that entity's strike? It's already a miracle we've lasted this long."

Watching her body flicker erratically, Zu An's heart sank. His 'Freebie Taker' skill was depleted, and using his 'Keys' to save them might...

He suddenly looked up at the Demon-Suppressing Talisman in the sky. "Can you two enter the talisman for recuperation? You originate from the same source, and now that the talisman has recovered to its peak, it shouldn't need to obliterate your consciousness to heal itself."

Black Jing Teng shook her head slightly. "No, I just tried. Although they are both Demon-Suppressing Talismans, this one is practically a new entity. It doesn't recognize us as its spirit."

"Of course, we share the same origin, so if we spent more time bonding with it, we should be able to re-enter its body. But given our current state, I'm afraid we don't have that much time," Black Jing Teng said with a hint of annoyance.

Zu An's face paled. "I didn't realize that leaving her behind would actually harm her."

Black Jing Teng waved a hand. "If you hadn't left us just now, our consciousness would have been obliterated already, and we would have died even sooner. At least now we still have enough breath to speak."

Zu An knew she was speaking the truth, but he couldn't feel happy at all.

He quickly found some healing elixirs and offered them to her, but Black Jing Teng merely glanced at them and shook her head. "That entity's attack was on too high a level. These healing medicines won't have any effect."

Various incomprehensible destructive forces were continuously breaking down within their bodies. If they weren't extraordinary beings as spirits of a divine talisman, they would have probably died on the spot long ago.

Zu An felt a bit lost. Could he only stand by and watch Jing Teng die?

Just then, a phantom figure appeared beside them. "Are you truly foolish or just pretending?"

Seeing the red figure appear beside her, Black Jing Teng was startled. "What kind of demon are you?"

The only beings who could appear here, besides themselves, were demons. But what kind of demon could be so stunningly beautiful?

As she pondered which demon from each level might resemble such a figure, Mi Li snapped, "I'm his master."

She was bound to Zu An's soul, which was why she could now resist the suppressive power of the Demon-Suppressing Grand Array.

"Master?" Black Jing Teng exclaimed in surprise. Seeing Zu An nod, she couldn't help but show solemn respect. "So you're a senior! To have taught such a disciple is truly admirable. May I ask what your cultivation level is?"

Mi Li rolled her eyes and ignored her.

Zu An, meanwhile, pressed on, "Empress Master, what did you mean just now?"

Mi Li said with a half-smile, "Have you forgotten that your Primordial Chaos Scripture can also save people?"

Zu An seemed to realize something, his face flushing. He eventually shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. That entity's level is too high. How could such injuries be repaired that way?"

"High level, you say?" Mi Li snorted. "The cultivation techniques you possess aren't low-level either. Ultimately, you're just too weak. If you were powerful enough, using those techniques to save her would be absolutely no problem."

Zu An fell silent. He had originally thought he was doing quite well, having reached his current level of cultivation in just two or three years.

But after clashing with these terrifying entities today, he realized how much of a frog in a well he truly was.

"Don't worry," Mi Li said. "Although that method won't fully heal their injuries, it should stabilize them and temporarily save their lives without much trouble. You can then slowly find a way to completely save them later."

At this point, Black Jing Teng couldn't help but ask, "What riddle are you two speaking in? If there's a method, hurry up and use it to treat us!"

Zu An felt a bit awkward. "That method is a bit... a bit, you should have your elder sister come out instead."

"Why do you need my sister to come out before you save me?" Black Jing Teng looked at him disapprovingly. "Is a younger sister-in-law's life not a life?"

"That method really isn't suitable for you."

"If you don't tell me, how will I know if it's suitable?" Black Jing Teng grew impatient. "Why is the man my sister fancies so wishy-washy?"

"First, wake your elder sister. I'll tell both of you together."

Black Jing Teng shook her head. "She can't be woken up. My sister bore the brunt of that attack earlier; strictly speaking, she protected me. But even so, that entity's attack was too powerful. I'm still critically injured and barely clinging to life, able to survive only a little longer than my sister."

"My sister is now in a deep coma, with only a thread of life left. I'm afraid she won't wake up." Zu An's expression changed, and he dared not delay further. He quickly explained the method of salvation from the Primordial Chaos Scripture in a roundabout way.

"Isn't it just mating? Why speak so euphemistically? Come on then," Black Jing Teng said grumpily.

Zu An: "???"

Seeing her so open, even eager, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you... not understanding what I just implied?"

Black Jing Teng snorted. "I've reigned supreme across the world for so many years; what haven't I seen? Do you take me for a fool?"

Noticing his strange expression, she said frankly, "What my sister has tried, I want a taste of too. I saw how blissfully she was almost passing out just now; I have to see if it's really that amazing."

"Besides, it's a life-saving method. Only a fool would refuse."

This woman's frankness left him utterly flustered.

"What are you hesitating for? You're not acting like a man!" Black Jing Teng snorted, hooked her arm around his neck, pulled him down, and kissed him directly.

To refuse again in this situation would truly be laughable. The girl was so open-minded; he, on the other hand, was overthinking and getting caught up in superficialities. Saving Jing Teng was paramount.

Immediately, his large hand wrapped around her slender waist, pulling her into an embrace. His other hand reached directly into her collar, and he instantly took the initiative.

Black Jing Teng's eyes widened instantly, and her breathing quickened.

As soon as she got a chance to breathe, she quickly said, "This King wants to be on top!"

"No!" Zu An immediately rejected her request.

"Waaah... you brute, I'll tell my sister on you later."

Mi Li shook her head at the sight. With a flash, her figure disappeared, returning to her special space.

Meanwhile, in the tomb chamber of Immortal Lord Baopu, the various women had just applied and ingested the medicinal paste pounded by Chu Chuyan, and their injuries had recovered considerably.

They were now gathered before the large door. The entire tomb had been rumbling with continuous activity, flashes of light had appeared, and the tomb chamber door had closed once more.

Fearing they would be sealed inside, they hastily tried to open the door. However, after several attempts, they struggled to coordinate their efforts, and ultimately, all their attempts were in vain.

In the end, it was Yun Jianyue who found a massive stone pillar in the tomb chamber and used it to ram the door. Only then did the women find a point where they could combine their strength.

They all gathered together, holding the thick stone pillar like a battering ram, continuously striking the opening.

The stone pillar, made of unknown material, was incredibly hard. No matter how they struck it, it remained as firm as a bedrock.

The women exerted themselves for a long time, but for some reason, the door, which had been easily opened when they entered, now remained stubbornly shut.

Each woman cast spells to empower the stone pillar, continuously striking the opening and probing for weak points. They were all drenched in sweat from the effort.

After an unknown amount of time, the strange lights on the great door faded. The women exerted themselves one last time, and finally succeeded in breaking through the door.

The battering-ram-like stone pillar plunged deep inside.

Only then did the women discover that the tomb passage outside had already collapsed due to the previous disturbances. Various fallen rocks and cave-ins had made the passage extremely narrow and cramped.

The women were all very fond of cleanliness and were reluctant to clear away the fallen rocks with their bare hands.

If they used various spells, they feared it would create too much commotion and cause another collapse.

So, they could only use the stone pillar to slowly probe forward, grinding out a path.

The women cooperated fully, continuously exploring forward.

"Oh no, why is so much water seeping out? It's all sticky," Qiu Honglei suddenly exclaimed, dodging to the side.

The women looked up and noticed that water was continuously seeping from the surrounding walls and the ceiling.

Yun Jianyue said in a deep voice, "Although we entered the tomb on the surface, we must have descended deep underground. The terrifying tremors just now might have fractured an underground riverbed, causing water to flow out from here."

"What do we do then? What if the water rushes in and drowns us here?" Xie Daoyun's face turned pale.

Yun Jianyue glanced at Yan Xuehen. "Ice Maiden, it's up to you."

Yan Xuehen let out a soft hmph, casually formed a hand seal, and then waves of chilling air spread out. Soon, the surrounding water froze solid.

"We need to be quick. This might not last long," Yan Xuehen said in a deep voice.

No one dared to delay. Holding the stone pillar, they continuously pushed forward. After a long time, they finally felt an empty space ahead.

The passage, initially extremely narrow and barely passable, opened up into a vast, clear space after they had walked several tens of steps.
