Chapter 7: Good-For-Nothing (4)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
What?
At that moment, everybody thought that she was crazy.
A Qi collection level two wanted to go up against a Qi collection level five? Was she sure she was not crazy?
"Grandpa, I agree to that!"
Not waiting for Ling Yi to speak, the Young Master of the Ling family stood up abruptly. He looked down at Gu Ruoyun who was a head shorter than him.
"Gu Ruoyun, this is you digging your own grave! I hereby accept your challenge, brace yourself!"
"Wait!"
Young Master Ling was just about to strike when a sudden yell disrupted him.
He retracted his hand and sneered, "What? Are you scared? If you’re afraid, then kneel down, knock your head loudly on the the ground while calling out ‘Grandfather’ three times. I might just spare your life!"
Gu Ruoyun curled her lips in disdain. "If I were afraid, then I wouldn’t have challenged you. However, the duel that I mentioned is not to be today, but after a month!"
"Haha!" Young Master Ling laughed loudly. "Gu Ruoyun, I get it. You want to live one more month. I am not an insensible person. I’ll let you live for one more month. Grandpa, let’s go. I’ll come back and kill this good-for-nothing after a month. That’ll save some rations for their household!"
His meaning was clear. I, Young Master Ling, will be killing Gu Ruoyun for the sake of the general’s quarters. How wasteful it is to feed a good-for-nothing like this? So, the general quarters shouldn’t blame me but thank me instead!
Looking at the departing Young Master Ling’s back, General Gu’s expression was ghastly.
The way he saw it, it was fine if Gu Ruoyun died as long as it was not by his hands. But this good-for-nothing had the gall to challenge the Young Master of the Ling family to a duel! Wasn’t this humiliating the household?
If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have been insulted by the Ling family!
"Hng!"
When he thought about this, General Gu took a deep breath. He shook his cuffs fiercely and walked straight out of the living room. He didn’t even spare Gu Ruoyun a glance…
"Gu Ruoyun, you’re too full of yourself."
Gu Panpan looked with disdain at Gu Ruoyun and she jeered, "You wishfully think to duel with the Young Master of the Ling family? Do you know who the Young Master of the Ling family is? His aunt is the most beloved concubine of the emperor, his master is the champion of Azure Dragon Country! With the champion of Azure Dragon Country as his master, do you think he’ll be afraid of your brother?"
With that, Gu Panpan grunted, turned and left without sparing her another glance.
...
There was a breeze at the back of the mountain.
Gu Ruoyun was sitting on a rock, her eyes closed in deep thought.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and a gleam flashed in her gaze like lightning.
"That’s right, the Ancient Divine Pagoda. What happened to it…"
That day, if it weren’t for the Ancient Divine Pagoda which stopped her, she would’ve died along with Xiaming and the others, and her soul would not be saved…
Now, she still had the chance to enter the East Peak mainland and avenge her mother and grandfather!
However, the Ancient Divine Pagoda had assimilated with her own body. How was she going to take it out?
"Bah! Let’s just see exactly which part of my body is the Ancient Divine Pagoda in!"
Gu Ruoyun closed her eyes and let her spiritual sense scan her body.
It was at this moment that she realized her Spiritual Ocean was much wider than an ordinary person’s.
As it was generally known, when a Martial Warrior began his cultivation, all of his Spiritual Force would be condensed into his Spiritual Ocean. Once the Spiritual Ocean was filled with Spiritual Force, the Martial Warrior could ascend to the next level.
The average Martial Warrior’s Spiritual Ocean would only be the size of a bowl, but Gu Ruoyun’s Spiritual Ocean was like the actual vast ocean. That was the reason why her cultivation had been slow to progress.
But there weren’t any real Cultivators in Azure Dragon Country and they wouldn’t know the advantages of having a vast Spiritual Ocean.
The more powerful you got, the more obstacles you would face. If you wished to break through these obstacles, then you needed the power of understanding of a Cultivator!
The wider the Spiritual Ocean, the stronger the power of understanding of the Martial Warrior. If the former her had a Spiritual Ocean this vast, she might have long surpassed the level of Martial Honour and reached Martial Supreme. Even in the East Peak Mainland, the number of Martial Supremes were few and far between. Once a person reached this level, he could establish himself as Supreme Ruler.
You must know that the champion of Azure Dragon Country is only a high Martial General. It was plain to see just how powerful a Martial Supreme was…
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun noticed a small and exquisite purple pagoda submerged in the Spiritual Ocean. Her heart was instantly filled with joy. "Ancient Divine Pagoda! I have finally found you…"
Hong!
A great shockwave traveled from within the Spiritual Ocean, striking right into Gu Ruoyun’s head. The shock made her head buzz. When she came to her senses, a purple gown appeared in front of her…
Chapter 8: Ancient Phoenix, Zixie (1)

Gu Ruoyun's gaze traveled up the robe, stopped on the man's face and that moment, he was unable to turn away anymore.
In the East Peak Mainland, Supreme Jin was undoubtedly the most captivating among all the good-looking men that she has ever seen. But this man in front of her was no less handsome than Supreme Jin, but even better looking...
The man donned a purple long robe, with the sleeves decorated with golden lines, appearing dignified and resplendent. His black hair was lazily scattered behind him as a soft wind blew and with it, a charming scent lingered. His looks were so handsome that it seemed to have made all creation lose its color. The wind lifted the purple cuff, making the seductive purple flame in between the man's eyes seemed more sinister.
All of a sudden, the man raised his hand and a breeze swept past. When Gu Ruoyun regained her senses, she was already in the man's embrace...
"This is the master chosen by the Ancient Divine Pagoda? She's bony to the touch, not comfortable at all. Little girl, you need to replenish your nutrition and only when you've put on more weight, then you can warm my bed."
Gu Ruoyun's face darkened instantly. She raised a foot to kick him, but the man was already prepared. He grabbed her foot with a slight smile.
"Little girl, you were indeed strong in the past but now, you are only a small fry in the Qi collection level two. Do you think you can sneak up on me?"
Gu Ruoyun retracted her foot. She looked at the handsome dignified man in front of her and asked, "Who are you?"
"Little girl, you are too cold. I brought you all the way here from the East Peak Mainland and you have forgotten about me?" The man continued reluctantly, "Luckily I saved your life that time. If it weren't for me, you would have been utterly destroyed, body and soul."
East Peak Mainland?
Gu Ruoyun was slightly startled, "You're the Ancient Divine Pagoda."
When he heard this, the man's lips twitched, "Ancient Divine Pagoda? Have you ever seen a pagoda turned into a man? I am the Ancient Divine Pagoda's companion beast, Zixie!"
"Zixie? Ancient Phoenix Zixie?"
The people of West Spirit Mainland may not know about Zixie's existence, but everyone in the East Peak Mainland knew that name.
Legend has it that The Ancient Phoenix Zixie held the power to break the heavens and earth. With just one breath, he can mow an empire to the ground. His power was so strong that it made everyone's heart trembled.
But Zixie had disappeared since tens of thousands of years ago. Who would've expected him to show up here...
"Girl, you're stunned aren't you?" Zixie curled his lips and smiled, "While you were running for your life, you had already made a contract with the Ancient Divine Pagoda. As long as your soul remains intact, the Ancient Divine Pagoda will follow your soul forever. But the bond between the Ancient Divine Pagoda and I has been sealed. If it was broken on the East Peak Mainland, those old demons would definitely have noticed it. Hence, I could not show myself and helped you. It wasn't until we reached the West Spirit Mainland that I was able to break the seal..."
Gu Ruoyun nodded, "I see. This Ancient Divine Pagoda was given to me by my grandfather, but I didn't know what it was for..."
"I won't be able to fully explain the uses of the Ancient Divine Pagoda to you in such a short time. However, you do know that the Divine Pagoda is an object left behind since ancient times right? How would an artifact from the ancient times be useless? Moreover..."
Zixie smilingly patted Gu Ruoyun's head, "Didn't you challenge someone? With this Ancient Divine Pagoda, I guarantee that within a month, I'll make you more powerful than him!"
He knew that with Gu Ruoyun's battle experience from her previous life, she would have had a fifty percent chance of defeating the young master of the Ling family. But what he intended to do was give her confidence that she can beat the enemy...
