"Oh, come on!"

When Lin Qianxuan realized it was indeed Jiang Mengli, he inexplicably felt a headache coming on.

How could he strategize this?

How could he take action against her?

He had always considered her an elder!

Moreover, after strategizing, how would Chen Long'Er handle it?

Even though they hadn't officially established a master-disciple relationship, they essentially were already in such a bond.

Despite the complexity of emotions in his heart, Lin Qianxuan quickly set aside his distracting thoughts.

The most urgent task was still to understand the specific situation first.

Only by understanding more information could he better handle the current issue.

There isn't only one way to strategize; establishing a deep friendship might also count as a form of strategy.

(Recalling the exact day and time he traveled from Earth, along with the main events that happened a month or two before the crossing.)

[Though Jiang Mengli was in a crisis moment now, you felt no rush and took a moment to recall the details of your own time travel.]

[You clearly remembered crossing over on May 1st at 12:35:16 PM. You recall having received a reminder from the Human Dao, and then, with her help, you urgently crossed over...]

[In the two months before crossing, you used the time difference of the Qingling World to refine a Dragon Pearl, raising your cultivation to the Upper Dao Realm, and mastered most of the refined rules information within, gaining a style of Great Dao Divine Power, though its full display was limited by your own cultivation.]

[You also basically mastered Chaos Magic and took in one to two-tenths of the Little World Technique.]

[On April 18th, you visited the World of Annihilation of the lizard people, and with compassion, you remodeled a World Core for them, and they worshipped you as a deity.]

[On April 27th, you fought an invading unknown Upper Dao Realm evil cultivator in the universe, and after a while of combat, you killed him with your self-created Chaos Profound Light.]

...

May 1st?

So, that means crossing a month later.

Lin Qianxuan pondered, considering if that were the case, maybe they could make some minor changes in between, like giving Jiang Mengli a heads-up.

However, for the first playthrough, it's better to first understand the situation, and then those actions can be reconsidered later.

(Estimating the strength of those surrounding Jiang Mengli.)

[You used the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to peek at the strength of those around her. The strongest among them was merely a True Thought realm cultivator hiding in the back, whose energy level was roughly equivalent to yours. Aside from him, the others were at most Vertical Light level, nearly negligible.]

The gap between Dao Realms is significant.

A small realm gap could mean an energy level difference of tens of thousands of times.

[Lifting the Mountain] cultivators could hardly compete against [Sea Covering] cultivators.

Just one small realm higher could form an absolute crush on lower realms.

This gap is usually hard to bridge.

Otherwise, what would be the point of having realms?

The opponent was of True Thought realm, about equivalent to the game character's level, probably also True Thought level.

And Jiang Mengli?

She was at the Peak of Upper Dao Realm, theoretically already at the Profound Longevity level.

These cultivators mostly weren't her match, but her condition seemingly wasn't good, considering Lin Qianxuan knew she seemed to have been healing from injuries continuously.

So, same as Zhang Juan's situation?

Strong, but hesitant to use due to injuries?

"No matter what, let's rescue her first," Lin Qianxuan said.

Immediately, he started inputting commands to advance the storyline.

(Prepared to seize the opportunity to rescue Jiang Mengli.)

After inputting the commands, the game screen began to change.

A cultivator with strength at the Vertical Light level stepped out from the crowd, arms folded, a shimmering blue halo formed by Profound Light behind his head watching Jiang Mengli.

[Shen Pan (with a cold smile): Bright Lord, the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade is a divine object nurtured by the heavens and earth, and should belong to all cultivators in this world. Are you planning to oppose all of them by claiming it for yourself?]

[Jiang Mengli (expressionless): You think you can have the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade with just some third-rate rabble? Can't even tell you're being used by the Purple Fish Holy Land? I advise you to scram quickly, lest your greed costs you your life!]

Hearing this, the cultivator named Shen Pan turned grim-faced.

[Shen Pan (through gritted teeth): Bright Lord, I know your Dao wounds haven't healed, and you suffered from Immortal Monarch Deng's sword during the Celestial Tribulation. Though you barely broke through, hardly a tenth remains of your power. Why strain yourself over an external object and risk your life?]

Lin Qianxuan gathered some information from this sentence.

It seemed Jiang Mengli was sneak-attacked during her breakthrough to the Great Dao Realm, so even though she managed to break through, she was severely injured and in a poor state.

[Jiang Mengli (with fierce eyes): So noisy!]

"Shu~!"

A streak of silvery Spiritual Light shot out from Jiang Mengli.

The next moment, a point of gold and blue blood emerged from Shen Pan's forehead as he fell heavily to the ground, to the shock of the surrounding cultivators.

"Huh? Just got taken out like that?"

Lin Qianxuan's expression was a bit subtle.

He looked at Shen Pan's demeanor, thinking he could at least exchange a couple of moves with Jiang Mengli, but it turned out he was defeated in one strike.

[Jiang Mengli (looking towards the void): Come out, the dignified Saint Master of the Purple Fish Holy Land, yet you don't dare face me directly?]

In the void, a young man dressed in clothing adorned with a purple fish pattern appeared, holding a seven-layered purple tower in his hand. Though he did not radiate the same glaring Profound Light at the back of his head as Shen Pan did earlier, the surrounding cultivators immediately gave way upon seeing him, indicating he was a powerful figure.

[Song Tonglin (gazing at Jiang Mengli): Mingguang Immortal Monarch, I come on the orders of Immortal Monarch Feng Ying to borrow the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade for a look. If the Immortal agrees, Immortal Monarch Feng Ying is willing to protect the Immortal's Dao path.]

[Jiang Mengli (disdainfully): She actually has some face to ask this, and she didn't come in person? No, she's afraid that forcing me personally might make me use my trump card, and then someone else might take advantage.]

Song Tonglin's expression didn't change; he merely watched Jiang Mengli quietly.

[Song Tonglin (expressionless): If the Immortal is unwilling to lend the Divine Jade, to prevent the beings of this realm from suffering, I also request the Immortal to stay a while in my Seven Glories Treasure Tower, to avoid disaster and tribulation. The Hidden Heaven Divine Jade has already caused too many conflicts; I hope the Immortal will not involve innocent beings further.]

[Jiang Mengli (cold laugh): Want to suppress me? I'm afraid you don't have that capability!]

[Song Tonglin (with slightly serious eyes): Then forgive my offense.]

"Buzz~!"

The seven-layered purple treasure tower in Song Tonglin's palm hung in the air, transforming into a massive tower like a mountain. Layers of Profound Light shone from its body, and the seven lights illuminated together, instantly enveloping Jiang Mengli in all directions, sealing off the surrounding void, and suppressing the Dao Principles within her.

Immediately, the tower descended to suppress her.

Jiang Mengli's expression slightly changed, a trace of determination appearing in her eyes.

However, at this moment, the game character moved.

In an instant, he transformed into a True Dragon form, his body rapidly expanding, becoming even larger than the tower. He then coiled around the tower's body, spiraling upwards into the sky.

Song Tonglin desperately urged the tower but couldn't make it descend even a fraction. The game character's dragon body exuded an overwhelming force that he simply couldn't comprehend.

The next moment, the game character opened his mouth and spit out True Flame, intending to refine the tower.

The True Flame touched the tower, instantly melting its top.

This True Flame, containing Great Dao Rules of the highest nature, could even refine a Dragon Pearl, so a mere Dao Artifact naturally couldn't withstand it.

Song Tonglin dared not further activate the tower to descend, forming a hand seal, and in an instant, recalled the Seven Glories Treasure Tower as Flowing Light around him, decisively cutting off the portion contaminated by True Flame, thus avoiding the entire tower being incinerated.

The game character transformed into human form and appeared beside Jiang Mengli through teleportation, taking her to run away.

The crimson Escape Light flashed out, and Song Tonglin hesitated for a moment, not daring to stop them.

The game character's True Flame clearly frightened him, causing him to misjudge something.

The game scene changed rapidly, the game character's escape speed was evidently very exaggerated, and Jiang Mengli appeared quite amazed at this moment.

[Jiang Mengli (shocked, transmitting True Thought): Lin Qianxuan, why did you come?]

[Lin Qianxuan (responding): Sister Jiang, Human Dao told me you were in danger, so I asked her to send me here to help you.]

[Jiang Mengli (frowning, expression complicated): She always does unnecessary things!]

[Lin Qianxuan (puzzled): Sister Jiang, where are we going now? Can you return to Earth?]

[Jiang Mengli (shaking her head): Due to some special reasons, I can't go back for now. Change direction, head over there, there's a secret realm opened by the Dragon Chief back then, we can hide there for a while.]

(Proceed according to Jiang Mengli's instructions.)

The scene changed, the two passed through dangerous terrains, reaching a sea area. The game character took Jiang Mengli directly into the sea, and as Jiang Mengli performed a secret technique, the next moment, both disappeared, reappearing in a secret realm filled with abundant Spiritual Qi.

In the room, Jiang Mengli swallowed a Spirit Pill, her expression becoming much calmer.

[Jiang Mengli (looking at you): You came just in time, if you had been any later, I would have had to force myself to fight him while injured.]

[Lin Qianxuan (seriously): Sister Jiang, you've helped me so much, this is the least I could do.]

Jiang Mengli showed a charming smile, clearly appreciating these words.

[Jiang Mengli is very pleased with your rescue.]

[The String of Destiny has now connected you with Jiang Mengli, current connection level 5%.]

[Tip: You have now shared in Jiang Mengli's talent [Spiritual Enlightenment].]

[Spiritual Enlightenment: Enlightened by Innate Spiritual Light, close to the source, you can use the Innate Harmony Stance once a day to significantly enhance your insight and perception, enabling you to fully understand any knowledge acquired during this state. (Usable for one quarter of an hour each day.)]

Being able to fully understand just by noting it down?

This talent!

Lin Qianxuan was slightly surprised, this was beyond just being insightful; this was like cheating!!!

[Tip: You can access partial information about the Daughter of Destiny through the String of Destiny.]

Silver-white threads interwove, forming Jiang Mengli's name in the top right corner of the screen.

Lin Qianxuan clicked to take a look.

[Daughter of Destiny: Jiang Mengli.]

[Connection Level: 5%.]

[Shared Talent: Spiritual Enlightenment.]

[Sound Talisman: Not acquired.]

[Score: Not acquired.]

[Memory: Not acquired.]

​[Origin: An Innate Spiritual Light from the Spirit Qi World, transformed into human form after being enlightened by the Dragon Chief, living on Earth.]

Other things could be ignored, but seeing this origin made Lin Qianxuan's expression freeze.

So Sister Jiang isn't originally from Earth?
