That simple?
“Ah... kill me, quickly kill me!”
When the Saint and his older sister arrived at the Junior Sister's residence.
Just as they reached the door, they heard the Junior Sister's shrill screams.
The two quickly entered.
They saw their Junior Sister, whose entire body was engulfed in pale blue flames.
But the fuel for those flames was their Junior Sister herself.
“It's too painful, kill me, quickly kill me!”
At this moment, the Junior Sister was starting to lose her mind.
Her eyes were wide, and she was constantly tearing at her hair and scratching her body with both hands.
The clothes on her body had been completely burned away.
Even the nearby pool of water had completely evaporated.
Beside the Junior Sister, several Elders were helping her suppress the flames on her body.
But these flames were extremely sinister.
They wouldn't burn you to death immediately.
Instead, they burned little by little, like countless insects gnawing at one's body.
The Junior Sister's mind was on the verge of collapse.
“What is going on?”
The Saint's older sister asked.
One of the Elders sighed.
“The Cultivation Technique she Cultivates is too overbearing; the flames produced by its Cultivation will eventually burn everything, including herself!”
Hearing this.
The Saint's older sister looked distressed.
Why was there no problem when Zhou Ziming learned it in the previous life?
But now, why did her Junior Sister encounter such an issue when learning it?
Could this Opportunity truly only be learned by Zhou Ziming?
“Why is it like this? Why should it be like this?”
The Saint pondered at this moment.
“When Zhou Ziming learned this Cultivation Technique, he had just dealt with the Tree Demon. In fact, before Zhou Ziming dealt with the Tree Demon, he seemed to have been injured, and when he killed the Tree Demon, he was prepared to die together with it!”
“It's just that Zhou Ziming didn't die later, and he even reached the Early Stage of Harmonizing the Dao!”
“Back then, I just thought, how could Zhou Ziming be so lucky? But now that I think about it, it's not that he was lucky, but that he deserved this in the first place.”
The Saint also felt some understanding at this moment.
He used to think Zhou Ziming was a jinx.
Wherever he went, trouble would follow.
But now it seems Zhou Ziming isn't the jinx.
Instead, the world itself was destined to face these tribulations.
It was just that in this desperate world, a Zhou Ziming appeared.
If not for Zhou Ziming, this world would probably have been destroyed long ago.
Even now.
Even if Zhou Ziming hadn't obtained the Opportunity, when the West Continent faced disaster, Zhou Ziming still went.
The Saint sighed internally.
In the previous life, he was unconvinced.
Why was Zhou Ziming—a person who snatched other men's women, didn't spare even mothers and daughters, and constantly demanded others pay a hundredfold price—the Child of Destiny, the Heavenly Dao's favorite?
But recalling what Zhou Ziming did in the previous life.
One could only say that the merits outweighed the flaws.
His character was poor.
But when trouble arose, he truly stepped up.
If Zhou Ziming didn't take this Opportunity, who would?
The Heavenly Dao now seemed to be proving this point.
Zhou Ziming could choose not to take these Opportunities, letting someone else take them.
But after someone else takes them, what actions do you take?
And are you capable of bearing the Karma brought by this Opportunity?
But the only thing the Saint didn't understand was.
“Except for my own Rebirth, which happened because I obtained a Reincarnation Fruit in the previous life, ate it without feeling anything, and only underwent Rebirth after dying!”
“But what about my older sister, Senior Sisters, and Junior Sisters? They also underwent Memory Awakening, even if the memories were taken out of context!”
“Heavenly Dao, why did you take this extra step? Aren't you harming Zhou Ziming?”
The Saint looked up at the sky.
Then the Saint grew uncertain.
He vaguely had the illusion that he might be able to converse with the Heavenly Dao.
Because the clouds in the sky currently displayed a helpless expression.
The Saint rubbed his eyes and looked again.
The clouds dispersed.
Unsure, the Saint decided to try again.
“Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao, if you can hear what I'm saying, roll your eyes!”
Then the Saint looked up.
He saw the clouds form the shape of two rolling eyes.
The Saint was stunned.
“Wait, Big Brother Heavenly Dao, you're alive? Then what about me? Do I absolutely have to die? Can't I just be Zhou Ziming's little brother?”
Then, there was no movement.
The Saint grew angry.
“I refuse to accept this! To hell with your Heavenly Dao, just you wait! When I meet Zhou Zuiming, I'll immediately swear an oath of brotherhood with him. Let's see how you handle that!”
The Saint felt confident.
But soon.
The Junior Sister's screams interrupted his thoughts.
“Ah... ah... just give me a quick death, give me a quick death!”
The Junior Sister was now desperately seeking death.
Right at this moment.
An old woman suddenly appeared.
She immediately opened a small box.
From inside the small box, a Gu worm flew out and immediately burrowed into the Junior Sister's mouth.
In the next instant, the flames covering the Junior Sister's body instantly extinguished.
The Junior Sister immediately collapsed weakly onto the ground.
The Saint: “???”
Solved so easily?
The Saint suddenly frowned.
He felt that this matter should not end so simply.
But the old woman was laughing heartily at this moment.
“I didn't expect this little child to have such good fortune! This Ice Spirit Gu Worm's cold Qi cannot be controlled by anyone, yet now it complements the Cultivation Technique this girl Cultivates! Hahaha, this girl's future achievements will be limitless!”
Everyone sighed in relief.
And at this moment, the Junior Sister's aura began to climb.
In a short period, she actually went directly from the Void Tempering Middle Stage to the Void Tempering Late Stage.
This speed of Cultivation astonished everyone.
The Junior Sister woke up.
Feeling the strength throughout her body, she was also extremely excited.
“I, I have Broken Through!”
Everyone completely relaxed.
Not only had they helped this little girl solve her problem.
They had also created another Genius for the Holy Land.
The Saint's older sister also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Most importantly, she had also completely calmed her mind.
When she first saw the Junior Sister's terrible state, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Because she remembered what the Saint had said.
Now that everything was resolved and had even become a great Opportunity, this meant.
Her own Opportunity would also be fine.
She looked at the Saint and said, “See? I told you your worries were unnecessary!”
The Saint remained silent.
Because he no longer wanted to explain.
If the Heavenly Dao hadn't responded to him, he truly would have believed that this crisis was resolved.
However, man proposes, Heaven disposes.
The Saint felt that this matter would definitely not be this simple.
The Saint left in silence.
Those who had helped the Junior Sister resolve the matter also left.
The old woman, whose face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, was smiling brilliantly at this moment.
“Little girl, are you willing to become a disciple of...”
Before the old woman could finish speaking, her entire body froze.
She looked down.
A small root segment had pierced her from back to front.
The old woman wanted to turn her head to see who had ambushed her.
But what greeted her were more roots, which immediately wrapped around her.
When the roots disappeared again.
Only a layer of skin remained of the old woman.
The Junior Sister was now utterly terrified.
Because it was a Tree Demon, a very ugly-looking Tree Demon.
After the Tree Demon finished off the old woman, it finally looked at the Junior Sister.
“Ya ya ya ya ya... It seems the Cultivation Technique you Cultivate counters me!”
