Shaking her head to stop thinking about these things, Hong looked at the white-clad girl standing on the ground, and caught a glimpse of the sword energy swirling around her out of the corner of her eye.
Perhaps relieved to see the rainbow, Nian Cheng returned to Bai Qian's side, and at the same time, Nian Cheng's own aura returned.
The skeletal giant remained unchanged; on the contrary, Nian Cheng's aura was much weaker than before.
“That’s not how you use the domain,” Hong said to Nian Cheng in a light and slightly leisurely tone.
This also includes the person opposite, whose use of domain tactics is unbearable to watch.
He turned and looked down at the white-clad girl on the ground, a murky, colorful light appearing in his hand.
He did know the person below, and that this was the one who dealt with Taiheng's demons, but he didn't care much. He originally thought that at most he would only be a third-level cultivator, but a fourth-level cultivator didn't matter.
"Watch closely, I'll teach you how to use a domain."
Bai Qian stood on the ground, curiously watching the middle-aged man who had appeared. Listening to their conversation, she tilted her head in confusion, her hair draped over her long eyelashes, obscuring her curious eyes.
She brushed aside the slender strands of hair that fell to the side of her face, loosened the grip on the [Su Tang] sword held in her slender, white fingers, and let the longsword fall from mid-air, but with a soft hum, it rushed toward the skeletal giant beside her.
“You’ve only just obtained the power of the Outer God and don’t know how to use it yet. In his prime, He must have been at least at the peak of the fourth realm [Zhou]. If you can figure out how to use His power properly, it will be of great benefit to you later.” As if he had gotten interested, the man named Hong began to chatter on and on with Nian Cheng next to him.
"If you were placed in Liangdu, your current strength would barely be enough to reach a higher level, and that would be a disservice to our pavilion's preparations over the years."
Nian Cheng, standing to the side, paid no attention to Hong's words, his attention entirely focused on Bai Qian opposite him.
"Lord Hong...look ahead," Nian Cheng whispered, but with a hint of panic.
"Oh?" Hong raised an eyebrow and looked ahead, wondering what else could be ahead.
Upon seeing the skeletal giant, a compassionate yet ferocious expression appeared on its face. It raised its longsword high, its slender skeletal body radiating an elegant glow.
The sword, hundreds of meters long, was surrounded by moon-white flames, and it mercilessly raised the sword.
The shadow of the giant sword enveloped Nian Cheng and his companion, while flames burned silently.
Hong's breathing slowed slightly.
It grinned maliciously as it slashed the sword down.
The rainbow flashed by, then abruptly ended.
Everything is silent.

Second update QAQ
Please help me read this!
Volume 1: Chapter 267, Bai Qian's Hope to Grow Taller
"How are you? Are you alright?" Bai Yao asked hurriedly as Bai Qian reappeared in front of her.
Bai Qian shook her head upon hearing this.
"No." There was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
A bit baffling.
The person being referred to is the one who just appeared. It's unclear why he appeared, or even who he is.
He was killed by the White Bone Asura with a single sword strike. Since he was killed with a single sword strike, he probably wasn't an important person.
Bai Qian showed no mercy. She combined [Su Tang] and the White Bone Asura, using the domain to unleash the power of [Su Tang] to strike with this sword.
In terms of power, it is naturally no match for [All Exhausted], but it seems to be more than enough to deal with these two.
The moment the longsword struck down, both of them vanished without a trace, not even offering the slightest resistance.
One death and one injury.
One of them still managed to escape, because it ran too fast, and Bai Qian didn't have time to chase after it. After thinking for a moment, she gave up.
Anyway, it's all the same. Solving it now or solving it later is essentially the same, so Bai Qian didn't pursue it directly.
It doesn't matter if they come looking for us again and we kill them; let them run away, it's fine.
Looking at the panel, it showed a monster lifespan of 350 years.
I don't know which of those two people gave it to me.
"Who was that just now?" Bai Yaozai carefully looked Bai Qian up and down, and only after confirming that Bai Qian was really okay and hadn't been injured did she help her tidy her hair.
"I don't know," Bai Qian replied honestly.
She had no idea who the two people opposite her were; all she needed to know was that killing them with one sword strike wouldn't be a mistake.
"It's a hungry beast, isn't it?" Bai Yao had already guessed it without Bai Qian even needing to think about it.
When I came here, I had already roughly guessed the ins and outs of what had happened in Taiheng City. Now I'm just here to confirm my guess.
"Perhaps Nian Qi is harboring a ravenous beast. Judging from what just happened, it's possible that the beast possessed her body?"
"So, the experiment that the Hundred Demon Pavilion has been conducting is to try to revive this Hungry Beast from Nian Qi? Perhaps it's not just Nian Qi, but others in Taiheng City who are hosts for the Hungry Beast," Bai Yao pondered for a moment.
"From this perspective, the Hundred Demon Pavilion's most fundamental goal should be to try to control that thing."
Bai Qian nodded in agreement.
Although I don't know what happened, Bai Yao is right.
Bai Yao glanced at Bai Qian, who was nodding to herself, but didn't expect the girl to offer any useful advice.
"Didn't that demon have any distinguishing features? Or what did it look like?" Bai Yao asked as they walked forward.
Bai Qian shook her head.
She could understand what Bai Yao meant by "characteristics".
"Uncertain, but it should be her." Nian Qi's aura could be sensed from the hungry beast, but it was noticeably weak.
We cannot determine that it is Nian Qi based solely on this.
“Another person has appeared,” Bai Qian suddenly said.
“He’s already dead,” she continued.
"Another person has appeared..." Bai Yao was also taken aback upon hearing this, and hesitated for a moment.
"People from the Hundred Demon Pavilion, right?"
The Lotus Sect in the city has now been completely eradicated by this girl, leaving only the Hundred Demon Pavilion. Her appearance alongside the Hungry Beast can naturally be considered evidence.
"Let's go see this deity first." Since we don't have any clues for now, let's not think about it for the time being. Instead, let's find out the real purpose of our visit.
Let's see what that City God of Taiheng really wants to do.
---
The temple remained unchanged, except for the occasional faint purple traces left in the shadows, which looked like paint residue.
The banyan tree was still there, and an old man dressed in brown and white clothes sat beside it. He seemed to be fast asleep, his aged face full of fatigue.
The sound of their footsteps woke the old man, who seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Yang Gong raised his head and saw Bai Qian and the other person walking over. He remained silent for a moment.
"You've arrived?" He struggled to lift himself up, a shadowy glint in his cloudy eyes.
"I know what you want to ask, but what happened in Taiheng is not much different from what you think." As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Qian. He probably already knew about Bai Qian's battle with the hungry beast. He probably knew about everything that happened in the temple.
"I was initially worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it, but now it seems there's no need to worry about that."
"Just as we thought?" Bai Yao still frowned as she looked at Yang Gong opposite her.
"The part about the Hungry Beast is roughly the same, except there's only one Hungry Beast, the one you just encountered."
"He has only just been summoned by those two girls, and that's why he's in that state. But if given time, I can't be sure, especially since that stubborn girl clearly won't be willing to stop here."
"Who?"
“Nian Cheng,” Yang Gong said in a deep voice.
"She probably thinks she can control that thing because of her own will, but if she really takes it lightly and dares to do that..."
"That thing will truly revive."
What will happen after the recovery?
"I don't know, perhaps Taiheng will turn into a dead city in an instant?"
“It’s pretty much over now.” Bai Yao’s tone was tinged with sarcasm.
The old man shook his head silently upon hearing this.
"maybe."
Bai Yao and Yang Gong were discussing the matter of the hungry beast with serious expressions.
Bai Qian had nothing to do and couldn't understand what the two of them were saying, talking about things like "re-creaming" or "re-creaming," just like little cookies.
With nothing else to do, all I could do was study the control panel.
He used all of the 350 years of demonic lifespan he had just obtained to [eat incense].
[You have learned the [Incense Consumption] technique, a supernatural power akin to that of a deity. However, at its peak, it does not make one a deity. You realized this the very first time you absorbed incense.]
Pure and refined incense flows within you, mingling and blending with the spiritual fire, intertwined yet inseparable, the incense and spiritual fire flowing through your body.
The so-called "consuming incense and offerings" is actually about absorbing the essence of life to shape the body, using human desires to create a pure and flawless form, and using the essence of the divine to forge a spiritually pure body.
[Eating the incense offerings is both the first and the last step. The incense offerings to the gods are endless, and simply eating the incense offerings is enough to bring one close to the gods. But for you, it is far from sufficient.]
[The spiritual fire tempers the body, the incense cleanses the soul. It is not the divine being you lack, nor is it a perfect match, but it can serve that role at this moment.]
The three elements converge and unite into one.
[By combining the skills of "Incense Offering" and "Furnace Sea," one can acquire the power of "Spiritual Bloom."]
[[Spiritual Bloom]: All three flowers bloom in full glory, divine and spiritual.]
Bai Qian stared at the content displayed on the panel, slightly taken aback and a little puzzled.
what is this?
I read it carefully, but it was too obscure to understand. I only know that [Spirit Blossom] is probably on the same level as [All Extinction], and they may both have some side effects?
She closed her eyes and felt the changes in her body, then blinked lightly.
It seems like there's hope for me to grow taller?

Third update! Even though it's so late, I finally finished writing it QAQ
I like everyone to do this again every day!
Please read~
Volume 1: Chapter 268, The Binding Chains
The light purple chaotic figure re-condensed on the mountaintop. The light purple body gradually faded, transforming into the figure of a woman. Nian Cheng's expression was somewhat gloomy.
She looked at the mountaintop, which was now covered with interwoven purple and black patterns. It seemed as if some kind of viscous liquid was slowly and heavily flowing within these patterns, giving one a feeling of stiffness just by looking at them.
Besides these strange patterns that seem to be engraved on the mountaintop, there is also an extremely bizarre statue. A six-headed monster sits on the mountaintop, its body seemingly composed of various deformed and completely different organs and parts, such as snake head, wolf head, tiger tail, and ivory... all sorts of completely unrelated organs are put together.
Just one glance at this six-headed monster was enough to evoke a chilling sense of fear.
After landing, Nian Cheng coughed twice, still shaken by what had just happened.
What kind of monster is that?
That sword strike just now...
Looking back, Nian Chengguang felt that it was somewhat incomprehensible.
So, all that fighting with me just now was just her playing around with me?
If it weren't for the unique nature of this body, she would have been dead from that sword strike.
Even so, he was still seriously injured and now only feels...
"Useless." The figure of the middle-aged man appeared in front of Nian Cheng.
