Tiger King Ridge, Peach Grove Valley.
After rushing back, Nangong Luo began informing his elder brother about the Willow God.
"...The Willow God, although a guardian of the Great Qin Empire, won't take actions unless Qin Empire faces an extremely serious crisis.
Given our current dormant posture at Tiger King Ridge, it should be a long time before we clash with it!"
Nangong Luo spoke slowly to Jiang Che who was in front of him.
With his elder brother's disposition of keeping everything within closed doors, Nangong Luo thought they basically need not worry about engaging in a life-or-death battle against the Willow God.
Unless Tiger King Ridge stops laying low and causes trouble in the Great Qin Empire...
"So that's how it is, this Willow God surely seems extraordinary!"
Jiang Che nodded, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
Unexpectedly, the Great Qin Empire still harbors such a powerful figure.
Truly, he must remain vigilant; a seventh-tier cultivation is simply not enough, strong individuals appear unexpectedly, hard to guard against.
"And I wonder why it chooses to help the Great Qin Empire!"
Jiang Che thought more about the actions of the Willow God but couldn't quite discern the reason.
Normally, being a different kind, even if not helping the beast side, shouldn't just assist the Great Qin Empire either.
It was baffling how this entity helped the Great Qin Empire ward off the second brother's moves, Jiang Che could not comprehend.
"But, elder brother, I noticed our second brother seems unwilling to give up so easily. With his grudge against humans, a fierce battle with Great Qin Empire is inevitable, which might invoke the Willow God and it's going to end badly."
At this moment, Nangong Luo recalled Fang Yuan's arrogant demeanor before he left and quickly warned his elder brother.
After all, elder brother is very particular about second brother's life and death; if second brother clashes fiercely with Great Qin Empire, it will inevitably provoke the Willow God.
When that time comes, will Tiger King Ridge save him or not?
"That second brother just won't settle down."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che furrowed his brows and shook his head frustratedly.
Currently, not only does the Great Qin Empire have the Willow God, but also a considerable number of Revivers, making second brother's intention to fight the Great Qin Empire extremely dangerous.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Che decided to find an opportunity to advise second brother to relax a bit and prevent having to clean up after him someday.
"In my view, elder brother, you should just ignore second brother; whether he lives or dies, if it weren't for you asking me to help last time, he'd have been killed by the Great Qin Empire!
With such a reckless behavior, he's bound to be killed eventually; we can't save him every time!"
Nangong Luo rolled his eyes, spoke ill of Fang Yuan.
Hearing this, Jiang Che chuckled and said, "Alright, I understand, I'll find a chance to persuade him!
However, third sister, as members of the fierce beasts, there will inevitably come a day where we clash with the Great Qin Empire; so you should still enhance your cultivation, seize your time to train!"
"Got it, elder brother!"
Nangong Luo wasn't sure if her elder brother truly took it in, nodded, and walked toward the pond.
Watching the back of his third sister, Jiang Che's eyes flashed slightly.
Actually, third sister wasn't entirely correct; the second brother, although seeming arrogant and overbearing, is indeed not of a reckless nature.
Every time second brother attacks humans, it should be under the belief he can retreat unscathed, yet surprise situations often arise, with Great Qin Empire often giving him an unexpected turn, thwarting his plans.
This matter isn't easy to blame second brother for; it's not due to lack of caution, but frequent unexpected situations, what can be done?
Take this Willow God affair for instance, who could know that the Great Qin Empire facing an apparent desperate situation still held such a big entity?
Forget about Fang Yuan, even Jiang Che himself did not foresee this; previously he only speculated that inside the Great Qin Empire, perhaps many Revivers lie dormant.
Nevertheless, confirming the existence of an entity like Willow God, Jiang Che's purpose for dispatching Nangong Luo was achieved.
Afterward, he did not dwell more on it, glanced at Nangong Luo already immersed in cultivation, walked back to the Bodhi Cave, and lay down to sleep deeply.
A day swiftly passed.
In the morning, the first sunlight spilled warm rays, penetrating the hidden grand formation over Peach Grove Valley, and shot into the valley.
The Cyan Stone Pool glistens; Nangong Luo was already immersed within the pool, commencing today's cultivation.
In his sleep, Jiang Che only felt a warm comfort on his back, unconsciously turned over, snoring.
In contrast, Xiao Zi, aroused early by Nangong Luo, stood with a belly full of silent anger atop the Bodhi Branch, earnestly absorbing Spiritual Qi.
Strands of Spiritual Qi surged from all directions into Xiao Zi's body, swiftly converted into Spiritual Power, flowing into the small purple Demon Pill within him.
"Chirp chirp~"
Blinking, sensing his cultivation has ascended to the peak of the third tier and advancing toward the fourth tier, Xiao Zi chirped excitedly.
Subsequently, not daring to slack, Xiao Zi emulated the previous breakthroughs, closing eyes to focus, diligently absorbing Spiritual Qi, directing his Spiritual Power to traverse through meridians, ultimately converging into the Demon Pill.
Soon, as the aura surrounding him gradually ascended, Xiao Zi was enveloped in a verdant purple glow, with dense Spiritual Qi in the Peach Grove Valley frantically rushing toward him.
The next instant, Xiao Zi's aura sharply leapt, reaching the fourth-tier height, a powerful pressure engulfing all directions, disordering nearby Spiritual Qi, at this moment, Xiao Zi's cultivation finally reached the fourth tier.
The breakthrough fluctuation directly awakened Nangong Luo from cultivation, realizing it was Xiao Zi who achieved a breakthrough, she instantly felt delighted within.
Finally, Xiao Zi ascended to the fourth tier; as an auxiliary fierce beast, for Xiao Zi's cultivation not keeping up with them, Nangong Luo was indeed very troubled.
If the gap in realm is too great, the amplification effect won't be as significant.
Just as Nangong Luo awakened not long ago, Jiang Che also awakened.
"Ding, binding target Xiao Zi's cultivation breakthrough, congratulations host on receiving tenfold feedback!"
A system notification sounded in his ear, Jiang Che suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in his gaze.
Immediately, a surge of Spiritual Power flooded into his body, rapidly refined by Jiang Che, with Spirit Cloud shattering consistently over the valley, transforming into mist steadily absorbed by Jiang Che. Within minutes, Jiang Che's aura soared sharply.
Mid-seventh tier!
For a moment, Jiang Che displayed a satisfied expression.
Prior, he worried this time's tenfold feedback wouldn't suffice, but it was just perfect!
"Congratulations elder brother…"
Over here, seeing her elder brother's cultivation breakthrough again, Nangong Luo mindlessly congratulated.
And at this moment, atop, Xiao Zi suddenly awoke, sprang up, with the enveloping purple light dissipating instantly.
"Roar!"
Xiao Zi growled toward the sky, emitting a slightly immature roar.
The next instant, a deep purple ring surged from Xiao Zi, sweeping across all directions.
Below, Nangong Luo and Jiang Che's aura abruptly increased upon being encompassed by the ring!
"Group enhancement!"
Nangong Luo exclaimed.
