As Jiang Cheng and Liu Ying waited in silence, the minutes stretched on. Then, in an instant, a terrifying aura engulfed the entire world. It was as if the heavens themselves trembled—an oppressive force that sent shivers down the spines of all living beings.
From the depths of the void, the Black Void Sword descended. Its arrival tore through the space, bringing an endless darkness that devoured all light. The air Tramble, mountains Cracks, and the oceans roared in response. Its breath spread like an all-encompassing tide, spreading Toward every corner of the World , shaking the foundation of the world.
Black clouds churned ominously as lightning and thunder raged across the sky, splitting the heavens with deafening roars. The way of heaven in this small world seemed to Tremble under the suffocating pressure.
Countless creatures, from mortals to immortals from low level monsters To high level, all looked at the sky in terror, their hearts trambling From fear . "What is going on?" they cried in horror, their voices lost in the chaos of the unnatural storm.
As an overwhelming pressure crashed down upon them, countless beings from various races were forced to the ground, unable to resist its might. They didn't even dare to look up at the sky, let alone make a sound.
And then, just as suddenly as it had arrived, it vanished without a trace. The suffocating pressure dissipated, the sky returned to its natural Order, and silence reigned once Again, as if nothing had happened.
Countless Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators were left in stunned, their minds Still in shock and confusion. What had they just witnessed? What force could manifest with such terrifying presence, only to disappear without a single sign of its existence?
After the sword disappeared and the world returned to its original peace, Jiang Cheng who's still in the Ground, still Shocked by the scenes outside, was startled to see a black-gold sword quietly appear in front of Liu Ying. It looked incredibly ordinary—perhaps even a little shabby.
I saw Liu Ying looking curiously at the sword in front of her. The sword spun slowly in place as if responding to her gaze. Just as she was about to reach out, a sudden flash of light startled both of us.
A tiny loli appeared before them, no taller than a few centimeters, her presence completely unexpected.
She placed her hands on her hips and pouted at Liu Ying, her silver eyes filled with Naughtiness. "Hmph! What are you staring at? Have you never seen a fairy as beautiful as me before? You have some Nerve to looked this Deity like this !"
Hmph she arrogantly, crossing one tiny leg over the other as she floated in the air. "Since you've seen this Queen, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to me? If you do, I might generously forgive your blatant disrespect toward this great fairy!"
Her tiny, proud posture was almost comical, making it hard to take her seriously.
Liu Ying raised an eyebrow, her silver hair swaying slightly as she tilted her head. "…Are all sword spirits these days so full of themselves, or is it just you?"
The tiny fairy puffed up even more, her silver eyes burning with righteous indignation. "You—you ignorant mortal! How dare you question the greatness of this deity?!"
She crossed her arms and Hmph, glaring at Liu Ying. "Do you know who I am? Do you have any idea how great I am?"
She stomped her tiny foot in the air—though it had absolutely no effect—before pointing at Liu Ying. "Hmph! You should be prostrating in admiration and awe, Iam the noble and unparalleled Ramiris, the Voidreaper! The most elegant, powerful, and dazzling existence you will ever Set your inferior eyes upon.
She crossed her arms, tossing her head to the side with a flick of her shimmering hair. as she gave a proud, haughty glance.
"But… if you acknowledge my magnificence and beg properly, maybe—just maybe—this Queen will grant you her divine favor. Hmph!"
Liu Ying's lips twitched. Why was she actually… kind of adorable?
Liu Ying puffed out her cheeks and huffed at Ramiris, glaring at her. "Aren't you here to sign a contract with me? How dare you tell me to grovel to you?"
Ramiris blinked, her eyes widening. She spun around in a circle, her tiny form radiating an aura that, despite its unintentional nature, sent a faint chill through the air.
She spun mid-air, as she glared at Liu Ying. "W-What did you say? What did you just tell this Fairy?
Jiang Cheng, sweating nervously, shot an angry glance at Liu Ying and exclaimed, "How dare you disrespect the Great Immortal Master Ramiris?!
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he hesitated. Was he laying it on too thick? Was it too obvious?
He glanced at Liu Ying, who stared at him with an expression that clearly said, Really?
For a brief moment, Jiang Cheng wavered. Should he dial it back? Maybe just act respectful but not too over-the-top?
Then Ramiris turned toward him, her tiny arms crossed, waiting expectantly, her silver eyes gleaming.
Jiang Cheng felt a chill down his spine. No, no, better to commit fully!
Before Liu Ying could respond, he immediately switches to full bootlicking mode.
Jiang Cheng had already appeared in front of Ramiris, a plate of delicious snacks and a jug of fruit juice in hand. His movements were smooth and swift, as if he had anticipated the fairy's exact desires.
" Please forgive her ignorens we must have been blind all this time. To witness such a divine being, radiant with celestial light, it's as if the heavens have sent Us a treasure. I, a humble Taoist priest, am unworthy even to breathe the same air as you !" Jiang Cheng praised, laying out the treats in front of her, carefully placing the tiny chair in the perfect position.
" Please, have some! I've prepared only the best for someone as worthy as you!"
Ramiris, caught off guard, looked from the food to Jiang Cheng and back again. Her prideful demeanor faltered slightly as the scents wafted up from the food, and her silver eyes sparkled. She puffed her chest out even more satisfied with him. "Hmph! Now this is the kind of attitude I expect!"
As Jiang Cheng gently set her down onto the small chair, I don't know where he find it, he waved a fan to cool her down, his movements in reverence.
"Is the temperature to your liking, esteemed fairy? Should I adjust it further? How is the seating? Are you comfortable?"
Ramiris crossed her arms, trying to keep up the air of superiority, but the blush appear on her cheeks and the sparkle in her eyes betrayed her. She hum again, "It's fine… I suppose. But don't think this means I'm grateful!"
Jiang Cheng, sweating nervously, looked at Ramiris and said, "Yes, yes, how dare this Taoist priest even think of such a thing?"
How dare Jiang Cheng say otherwise? Even if she asked him to be her servant, he would happily agree and praise her for her generosity and righteousness.
He wasn't ignorant like Liu Ying; he didn't look down on her or think she was cute just because of her size. Jiang Cheng had read countless novels and knew very well that these old monsters had the most unpredictable tempers. They could slap you to death in the blink of an eye, and there was nothing you could do about it. So, he exercised a great deal of patience with her.
After all, he was just an ordinary person trying to survive in this dangerous world. Liu Ying could curse and scold the Sword Spirit all she wanted, and nothing would happen to her with Heavenly Daddy protecting her. But what about him, the Taoist priest? He had no one to watch his back or care for him.
What if this sword bastard decided to show off his power and accidentally slapped him to death? No, no, better to please her and keep licking her boots until he grew stronger. Once he was strong enough, then, and only then, could they settle any grievances. For now, he would just go with the flow.
Her hand reached out to grab a sweet treat, and she nibbled on it absentmindedly, trying to maintain her aloof demeanor despite clearly enjoying the attention. "Just remember, mortal… you're fortunate that this Queen has graced you with her presence. Don't get too comfortable!"
Jiang Cheng, seeing her in a good mood, finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Of course, of course! This humble Taoist Priest would cross mountains of swords and seas of fire to serve you!"
Ramiris, still nibbling on her treat with a hint of pride, glanced at Jiang Cheng and, with a slight puff of her chest, said, "Hmph! You better remember that! Don't think you can just say sweet things and get away with it!" She took another bite, clearly enjoying the praise despite trying to act unimpressed. "Just make sure you live up to it, or I might change my mind about helping you."
Ramiris turned to Liu Ying with a smug look, shaking her head. "See? This is how you should treat this fairy," she said, letting out a sigh. "Juniors these days, no respect for us elders anymore." She crossed her arms, looking entirely pleased with herself as if she'd already won some sort of battle.
Liu Ying looked at them, speechless, and couldn't help but sigh. "Alright, alright, I was wrong," she said, rolling her eyes. "Happy now?" She crossed her arms, clearly unwilling to admit it fully but doing so anyway just to end the conversation.
After everything settled, Ramiris circled around Liu Ying, eyeing her from head to toe. "You're quite lucky to be noticed by Master Nyxaroth," she said, her voice tinged with both pride.
"You have great luck and destiny to be chosen by him," Ramiris continued, circling around Liu Ying. "There are many of the Void race hidden in the void turbulence, but he didn't notice any of them—only you. I can't even begin to understand what he's thinking." Ramiris shook her head, clearly puzzled, before quickly reverting to her usual haughty demeanor.
"So, girl," she said with an exaggerated flair, "be grateful that this fairy has crossed boundless space and time to come here and guide you!"
Liu Ying, not ignorant of the situation, quickly bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Senior, for your coming, and please convey my gratitude to His Majesty, Master Nyxaroth, for his favor. I will definitely not let him down."
Ramiris, pleased by her serious tone, fluttered around her with a satisfied expression. "That's more like it!" she exclaimed, her mood brightening. "Now, quickly, drop a drop of your blood essence so you can control the sword a little. Right now, you're not qualified to make me choose you as my new master. You need to earn this fairy's approval to be recognized as my master. So, come on,!"
Liu Ying nodded in understanding and followed Ramiris's instructions. As her blood essence dropped onto the sword, she immediately felt a powerful connection form between them. A surge of information flooded her mind, filling her with knowledge about the sword and its uses.
As Liu Ying sifted through the vast knowledge that had flooded her mind,
She found the continuation of the techniques she was practicing, 'The Void Sutra' and this time, it was complete, leading directly to the Mahayana realm. The knowledge was far more refined and mysterious. She couldn't understand a word from it.
Ramiris watched Liu Ying with a puzzled expression as she read the Void Sutra. She snorted softly and said, "How can you understand it now? You're still just an ant. You should take it step by step."
Liu Ying felt embarrassed and quickly shifted her attention to the other things, trying to avoid Ramiris's gaze.
Along with it came three techniques:
Abyssal Grasp – A technique that pulls the opponent into the infinite abyss of the Void, trapping them in endless darkness.
Nihility Slash – A devastating sword technique that cuts through the Void itself, erasing both the opponent's soul and consciousness.
Astral Void Step – A movement technique that allows the user to step through the Void, teleporting short distances, making them nearly impossible to track.
Ramiris looked at Liu Ying proudly and said, "Do you see these techniques? Even a glimpse of these techniques will make you untouchable in your rank.
Liu Ying was amazed and couldn't help but sigh. "This cause and effect is too great. I don't know how I should repay His Majesty, the Void Lord, for this."
Ramiris looked at her, feeling quite satisfied. At least she wasn't ungrateful and understood the situation.
She glanced at Liu Ying and said, "Don't worry. Master Nyxaroth doesn't care about such things, so don't think too much about it. Maybe he's already forgotten about you."
"It's also your own opportunity," Ramiris added, her tone shifting slightly. "So you should practice hard and forget about those messy things."
...
Then Ramiris circled around and glanced at the fruits on the tree. "Are you two planning to refine those fruits?" she asked, her tone slightly disapproving. "It would be a waste to eat them raw. You should refine them properly."
Liu Ying looked at her and said, "But Master Ramiris, we don't know anything about Alchemy."
Ramiris puffed her chest proudly and said, "It's just a small matter, leave it to me."
She then waved her hand, and with a flick of her fingers, the two trees' fruits floated into the air. There were ten Yang and ten Yin Fruits on each tree,full of energy. Without needing a cauldron, Ramiris's expression turned focused as she hovered in the air, her small form radiating an aura of the void .
The fruits glowed faintly as she manipulated the Void around them. With a wave of her hand, the surrounding space seemed to bend, distorting in response to her will. The fruits began to compress, their essence distilling under her command. She carefully gathered the energy of the Yin and Yang Fruits, drawing them into a small, swirling vortex of the Void.
The fruits merged seamlessly as she compressed them, the raw energy and nutrients concentrating into five perfect pills, each glowing with a mesmerizing light. The process was quick, precise, and almost effortless for Ramiris, her mastery over the Void on full display.
The pills floated gently back down into her hands, now perfectly refined, their potent energy sealed inside. Ramiris grinned, clearly pleased with her work. "See? Easy," she said, her pride as obvious as ever.
Liu Ying was utterly amazed and couldn't help but praise her. "You're amazing! How did you do that?"
I saw Jiang Cheng, not to be outdone, joined in, his voice full of admiration. "As expected of the Great Master Ramiris! If you said you're second in mastering Alchemy, no one would dare say they're first!" He showered her with praise, bringing his dog-licking skills to their absolute limit, praising her to the skies.
Ramiris was very pleased with their praise and laughed loudly. "Right, right! As expected of me!" she said, clearly enjoying the flattery.
She looked at them and casually tossed the pills their way. "Since I'm here, I'll cover for you. You can practice with peace of mind."
Just as she finished speaking, her expression shifted. Sensing something, Ramiris narrowed her eyes and gazed through the void, deep into the Endless Monster Mountains. A faint pressure surrounded her as she murmured, "It seems the monsters there are getting restless.
