When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1158 Xuanyu 14
Star Chart: "I thought you didn't believe in fate."

“Of course I don’t believe in fate,” Tan You nodded. “Life is something we earn ourselves, but in the end, this much revenge is enough. If we really killed Sang Lin and Jin Jiao, it would be going too far.”

"After all, the biggest mastermind is hidden behind the scenes... Qi Jue, is that his name?"

Tan You fiddled with the chessboard: "Qi Jue... why can't I deduce his origins? It seems like someone has covered up his secrets?"

Star Chart: "You're just a sixth-tier merman, not even a Celestial Lord, and you want to deduce the Celestial Lords of the Upper Realm?"

Tan You shook her head slightly. Her cultivation level was indeed at the sixth level, but her soul was entirely that of a High God. If she couldn't deduce Qi Jue's origins even with this, then Qi Jue was definitely worth investigating.

It can only be said that there is an even bigger conspiracy behind this.

However, Tan You shouldn't say this to Xing Chen Tu. Who knows if the other party is friend or foe? In Tan You's opinion, the other party seems to be neither friend nor foe.

The Star Chart assumed it had convinced Tan You. It glanced at the one-fifth of its original body that had been found, then looked at Tan You again: "Next, shall we go to the Cloud Dream Swamp?"

Tan You shrugged indifferently: "Then let's go."

Now that her great revenge has been achieved, Tan You's next step is to cultivate step by step. As for collecting the true form of the Star Chart, that's just a side matter. As for whether or not to sign a contract with it after collecting all the true forms, Tan You naturally chooses not to.

A person who fantasizes about becoming her savior and wants to control her life is certainly not trustworthy.

Tan You now wants to know what this star chart is.

While other races possess inherited memories, the Xuanwei Merfolk have none; Tan You relies entirely on her own exploration for cultivation. Her current intelligence score of 81 is already considered exceptionally high.

Only then can we keep exploring and moving forward.

"The Xuanwei Merfolk are originally a race from the upper realm. But once you fall to the lower realm, you will need to cultivate again to ascend back up." Seeing that his attempt to tempt Tan You had failed, Xingchentu began to look for other things.

How could Tan You not understand this principle? Although there's only a one-word difference between the Immortal Realm and the Cultivation Realm, it's much easier to go down than up. Especially since she was given the fragile shell of a Xuanwei Mermaid, she has to worry extra much just about the tribulation.

She couldn't rely entirely on the Purple Ring Serpent; she just hoped it could fight and withstand attacks. As for the tribulation, both the tribulation she and the one she were undergoing were quite powerful, and with double the lightning tribulation, Tan You really couldn't withstand it.

So now that she has survived the subsequent tribulation of advancement, Tan You was already pondering what to do when she faced the sixth-order tribulation. Since the Xuanwei Mermaid's physical body couldn't achieve sainthood through physical means and her combat power wasn't very high, she decided to take another path: to achieve sainthood through merit and ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

This time, Tan You didn't focus on the human race, but rather on the plant race. Throughout the entire cultivation continent, very few plant race members eventually ascend to immortality; human cultivators make up the majority, followed by spirit beasts, while plant race members account for only one in a hundred.

They either perished under the lightning tribulation or were devoured by cultivators or spirit beasts. Even those that had acquired sentience could not escape.

Since that's the case, Tan You decided to start with the Grass and Tree Clan. What greater merit could there be than supporting the rise of a race?
Tan You slowly placed a piece on the chessboard. The instant the piece was placed, a star in the sky quickly lit up with a faint light before disappearing back into the dark sky.

Tan You smiled faintly. Regardless of whether it would succeed or not, she had to do it first; only by doing it would there be any possibility. As for the Star Chart, she would find out the other party's purpose and who they really were sooner or later.

Biluoling.

This place is shrouded in mist year-round, isolated from the world, and surrounded by powerful formations, making it a forbidden zone for cultivators and spirit beasts alike. Yet, countless people still come to Biluo Ridge, each hoping to try their luck.

This was because Ming Qi, the son of the former Sword Sect, had a shattered dantian, yet he signed a life-bound contract with a bloodthirsty demonic vine at Biluo Ridge. Through this life-bound contract, Ming Qi successfully repaired his dantian and even improved his aptitude as a result.

Although his tribulations will be even more difficult in the future, at least he is alive. As long as the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine survives, Mingqi will have a long life to pursue the Dao.

As soon as the news spread, countless cultivators and spirit beasts flocked to Biluo Ridge. Unfortunately, no matter what they tried, they could only linger outside Biluo Ridge.

So far, only Mingqi has been able to enter Biluoling, which makes the outside world even more curious about Biluoling.

Curious about who set up the formations around Biluo Ridge, curious about what exactly is inside Biluo Ridge, and also curious about whether there are still spiritual plants like the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine.

Little is known about Biluoling to the outside world, but the scene inside Biluoling is quite different.

The chibi-style girl, holding a ruler, looked sternly at the spiritual flowers and herbs below: "Last lesson we learned the first page of the Herb and Plant Manual... This lesson we'll learn the second page..."

As the little girl was lecturing, the flowers and plants below either swayed without wind or waved their leaves as if waving little arms.

Although they are all spiritual plants, they seem to have already possessed a kind of spirituality.

Tan You passed by the window and saw the little girl earnestly preaching, so she couldn't help but smile slightly. She had been in Biluo Ridge for almost two hundred years, but she had spent very little time there during that time. Most of the time, she was collecting spiritual plants and trees from all over the place.

For example, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine that formed a contract with Mingqi was dug up by Tan You from a deep valley in the Ten Directions Mountains. Coincidentally, before she could transplant the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine to Biluo Ridge, she found Mingqi outside Biluo Ridge with his shattered dantian.

Although there's a golden rule against picking up men casually, especially the most miserable ones, Tan You deliberately defies this rule, ultimately because she's capable.

The decline of the plant race is not solely due to their struggle for survival in the cracks; a larger reason lies in the scarcity of both offensive and defensive members. Even the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, despite its formidable fighting prowess, has committed countless atrocities, making its attempt to transcend tribulation a near-certain death.

Therefore, supporting the growth of the plant race requires not only teaching them cultivation but also finding them good cultivation partners. The first requirement is a righteous heart, the second is robust health, and the third is natural talent.

At that time, there were only two or three kittens in Biluo Ridge. Most of the spiritual plants that Tan You found only had spirituality and could conjure up phantom images, but none of them could take human form.

The bloodthirsty demon vine she found required even greater care in selecting its cultivation partner. After all, this creature was too bloodthirsty and prone to committing atrocities; once released, it would leave no living thing within a hundred miles.

Tan You was initially worried about not finding a cultivation partner for the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, since there were very few people who could control their desires. But she never expected to encounter Ming Qi on her way back to Biluo Ridge.

As Tan You recalled those days, her thoughts drifted away...
