Book 1: Chapter 56: Queen Wa
Rumble…!
The thirty-meter-long coffin suddenly trembled. The surrounding black-robed men all knelt in worship.
The Great Light Sovereign Deity stared at the coffin.
Suddenly, white mist erupted from the coffin, completely enveloping it. As the surging white mist churned, a vast amount of Spiritual Energy gathered in the surroundings.
High in the sky, countless cultivators controlled their cloud beasts and stared together at the coffin at the peak’s summit.
Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan stood not far behind Gu Hai, with unsightly expressions, not saying a word.
The two understood that they could not interfere at all.
Bodhisattva Lian Sheng stood in the sky, holding his palms together and staring at the coffin.
——
Far in the distance, the first elder and the sickly youth also stared at the coffin.
——
At this moment, the white-mist-enveloped coffin was the focus of everyone’s attention. Everything came to a halt as everyone awaited the result.
As Gu Hai looked at the white-mist-enveloped coffin, he tightly clenched his fist, showing an extremely unsightly expression.
“I was not strong enough. Again? Again?” Gu Hai muttered to himself with bloodshot eyes.
Boom!
A loud sound suddenly came from the white mist. Everyone vaguely saw the coffin explode and shatter. However, the fragments did not shoot out. Instead, they seemed to turn into surging purple Spiritual Energy that swept out in all directions.
Boom!
A wave of Spiritual Energy surged out. Everyone around the mountain peak found themselves within a Spiritual Energy whirlpool.
——
Far away, the sickly youth pressed his handkerchief over his mouth and said, “Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! A coffin made of condensed Spiritual Progenitor and used to nourish the body? Haha! That is indeed extravagant!”
Spiritual Progenitor rushed over, surging towards Gao Xianzhi, Chen Tianshan, and Gu Hai.
Boom!
The surging Spiritual Progenitor was incredibly dense, instantly penetrating Gu Hai’s body. It seemed to want to help him raise his cultivation.
Gu Hai gritted his teeth. His eyes turned cold as he tried to reject this Spiritual Progenitor with all his might.
“Huh?” Not far away, the Great Light Sovereign Deity suddenly noticed this strangeness and looked at Gu Hai in shock.
Bang!
Bang!
Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan made breakthroughs in their cultivation. Shock waves spread out from them, but the two of them did not know whether to show joy or sorrow on their faces.
However, Gu Hai did not make any breakthroughs. He was the one who needed Spiritual Progenitor the most, but he did not absorb any of it.
“Gu Hai, what are you doing? This is a blessing from the coffin’s shattering after Queen Wa’s revival, yet you are not accepting it?” the Great Light Sovereign Deity asked, feeling confused.
Gu Hai looked at the Great Light Sovereign Deity and retorted coldly, “This is a reward that resulted from Xiaorou’s death? Although I, Gu Hai, urgently require Spiritual Progenitor, I absolutely will not accept this. I will never forget today’s humiliation!”
“Humph! Xiaorou already died earlier. You only locked down her three spiritual souls.” The Great Light Sovereign Deity snorted coldly.
However, Gu Hai ignored the Great Light Sovereign Deity.
Not far away, Gao Xianzhi’s expression changed. Then, he immediately stopped absorbing Spiritual Progenitor. Chen Tianshan looked at Gu Hai, feeling conflicted for a while before stopping his absorption of Spiritual Progenitor as well.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out, and the surrounding Spiritual Progenitor exploded and scattered. Then, the surging white mist condensed into white clouds.
Whoosh!
A bright light shone above the white clouds as a woman slowly rose.
This was the woman in the earlier coffin, the woman with the upper body of a woman but with a snake’s lower body.
This woman closed her eyes and released beams of multicolored light from her body, adding to her beauty.
Soon, she opened her eyes.
The instant she did so, it seemed like the most beautiful light in the world shone into everyone’s heart. Countless cultivators suddenly held their breath, shocked at that beautiful face.
Her upper body was extremely voluptuous, and she showed long, slender arms past the sleeves of her magnificent shirt. Even though her lower body was that of a snake, she still made many cultivators blush and their hearts race.
“Xiaorou?” Gu Hai called out.
That woman turned her head to look. Her eyes did not show the innocence of Xiaorou but a hint of mature charm. A cold smile flashed on her face; then, she ignored Gu Hai.
“Congratulations, Queen Wa! Congratulations to Queen Wa on her revival!” the group of black-robed men greeted respectfully.
Queen Wa turned her head and looked at the surrounding black-robed men. Then, a cold look flashed in her eyes as she said, “Bunch of trash!”
The black-robed men all lowered their heads, not daring to refute.
“Congratulations, Queen Wa!” The Great Light Sovereign Deity also bowed respectfully to Queen Wa.
Queen Wa looked at the Great Light Sovereign Deity and said coldly, “Great Light Sovereign Deity? How bold of you. When Meng Tai held my reincarnation hostage earlier, you had the opportunity to save me. However, you waited until my reincarnation died before making a move?”
“For Queen Wa to revive, Queen Wa’s reincarnation needed to die. While this subordinate is guilty of not saving you, it is better than killing you!” the Great Light Sovereign Deity answered gravely.
In the Great Light Sovereign Deity’s eyes, Xiaorou needed to die. It was just a choice of dying at his hand or Meng Tai’s. Earlier, he could have saved Xiaorou. However, if he killed her after saving her, Queen Wa’s hatred would be even greater.
The Great Light Sovereign Deity had picked the lesser of two evils and waited for Meng Tai to make his move.
“Good. Very good!” Queen Wa looked at the Great Light Sovereign Deity coldly.
“Queen Wa, Master is about to come out of closed-door cultivation. Queen Wa, please return earlier and manage the situation!” the Great Light Sovereign Deity said respectfully.
“Humph!” Queen Wa snorted coldly.
The group of black-robed men immediately stood up. One of them waved his hand, and a gargantuan flying ship suddenly appeared in the air.
This flying ship was several times larger than Long Wanqing’s White Cloud flying ship, looking much more exquisite. The palace halls on it were much larger as well.
“Queen Wa, please!” the group of black-robed men invited respectfully.
The white clouds under Queen Wa carried her up, slowly bearing her to the flying ship.
Rumble…!
The group of black-robed men immediately followed respectfully. Then, the gargantuan flying ship gradually flew higher.
From the start to the end, Queen Wa did not spare Gu Hai’s group a single glance.
When Gu Hai saw Queen Wa’s expression, he knew that Queen Wa was indeed not the same as Xiaorou. No matter how Xiaorou tried, she would never be able to show such an aloof expression.
“Queen Wa, shall we set off?” a black-robed man asked respectfully.
After landing on the flying ship, Queen Wa looked at the Great Light Sovereign Deity coldly.
“Great Light Sovereign Deity, what’s wrong? Are you not leaving?” Queen Wa asked in a cold voice.
“This subordinate still has something to deal with. Queen Wa, please go ahead. This subordinate will catch up very quickly!” the Great Light Sovereign Deity answered respectfully.
“Killing Gu Hai?” Queen Wa looked at the Great Light Sovereign Deity coldly.
Not far away, the expressions of Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan changed.
Gu Hai also frowned as he looked at Queen Wa.
The Great Light Sovereign Deity remained silent for a while, not denying it. Then, he nodded and said, “Yes, to prevent any future problems!”
Queen Wa suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Buzz!
Cold air suddenly radiated into the surroundings, and a large amount of frost appeared in the air.
Countless cultivators goggled.
“This is impossible, right? The cold look in Queen Wa’s eyes created this frost?”
“Speak softer. Queen Wa can hear us.”
Shocked and horrified discussions broke out in the surroundings.
“To prevent any future problems? Let me ask this, what future problems?” Queen Wa demanded coldly.
The Great Light Sovereign Deity remained silent for a while. “It is Master’s instruction.”
“Hahahahahaha! Little peacock, how bold of you! To think that you have started making decisions for me?” Queen Wa said with a cold gaze.
“This subordinate does not dare!” The Great Light Sovereign Deity lowered his head.
“You don’t dare? I think you are that daring. Should I hand over my Supreme Wa Palace and let you take over?” Now, Queen Wa’s voice contained a bone-chilling tone.
A strong killing intent pressed down on the Great Light Sovereign Deity.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Under the pressure of this killing intent, the black-robed men all fell to their knees. However, no one dared to plead for the Great Light Sovereign Deity.
The Great Light Sovereign Deity also suddenly fell to one knee and said, “This subordinate does not dare!”
“It is best that you do not dare. It is not your place to make reparations on my behalf. You are also not qualified to do that. Do you remember?” Queen Wa stared at the Great Light Sovereign Deity coldly.
“Yes!” the Great Light Sovereign Deity replied respectfully.
“Go to the front and pull the ship!” Queen Wa ordered coldly.
“Yes!” the Great Light Sovereign Deity answered, not daring to object.
Suddenly, the Great Light Sovereign Deity’s figure changed, turning into a three-hundred-meter-long peacock.
The huge peacock spread its wings, and a gale suddenly blew. Countless beams of azure light radiated into the surroundings. As the wind blew, the countless cultivators’ cloud beasts lost stability, looking like they would fall over at any moment.
With a loud cry, the three-hundred-meter-long peacock flew to the front of the flying ship and started hauling it into the sky.
As the flying ship soared higher, no one dared to call out, not even Bodhisattva Lian Sheng or the Heavenly Go Pavilion’s first elder. It seemed like no one was qualified to speak to Queen Wa on equal terms.
As Gu Hai looked at the flying ship slowly soar into the air, heading for the Innate Puzzle World’s exit, he let out a long sigh.
“Queen Wa? Hah!” Gu Hai revealed a bitter smile.
As the flying ship flew, no one dared to block it. Those who saw the flying ship approaching made way quickly. The three-hundred-meter-long peacock flapped its wings and knocked away those that failed to do so. The cultivators on the cloud beasts immediately fell, screaming miserably on the way to the ground.
Everyone sent off Queen Wa with their eyes.
The peacock had pulled the flying ship to a place not far from the exit when the image of a gigantic snake tail seemed to appear suddenly above the flying ship.
This three-kilometer-long, gigantic snake tail swung at the air as if striking the air.
Boom!
As the snake tail swung in the air, it did not seem to strike air. Instead, it seemed as though it struck water, sending a ripple radiating out in the air.
Rumble…!
Everywhere the ripple passed, countless mountain peaks instantly crumbled. A huge shock wave shook the entire independent world.
However, Gu Hai seemed to see a figure where the ripple passed.
“Who is it?” A strange cold shout rang out in the air.
However, Queen Wa ignored this cold shout. She just got the peacock to continue hauling the flying ship into the misty area, leaving the Innate Puzzle World and vanishing from everyone’s sight.
“Queen Wa startled the Unborn Man?” Not far away, Ninth Young Master’s expression changed.
“The Unborn Man?” Gu Hai seemed to guess something.
“Queen Wa’s final act was to help the division master to find the Unborn Man?” Gao Xianzhi said, his eyes lighting up.
Buzz!
The ripple calmed gradually. The figure in the ripple also vanished.
Rumble…!
Gu Hai controlled his vast army and charged into the sky again. Soon, he reoccupied the Century Lifespan Immortality Peach Tree’s vicinity and looked around at the surrounding cloud beasts.
However, not a single cultivator thought of charging over anymore. The earlier scene had been too shocking.
“Huh?” Gu Hai’s expression suddenly turned cold.
“Division Master, what’s wrong?” Gao Xianzhi asked, feeling confused.
“Meng Tai? You are very resilient. Even after the Great Light Sovereign Deity chopped you in half at the waist, you survived. Take him down!” Gu Hai glared as he pointed at a mangled figure in a valley below.
