"Hold on, little one." Ji Li had just rushed out with the crowd when a figure blocked her path.

It was an old woman with a wrinkled face like old tree bark. She was the one who had called out to Ji Li.

Ji Li stared warily at the old woman. "Senior, is there something you need?"

"I see you have excellent aptitude. I'd like to take you as my disciple. Come with me." The old woman cackled, her laughter sending chills down one's spine.

Ji Li took several steps back and cupped her fists, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I have no plans to become a disciple yet."

Because Ji Li's aptitude was exceptionally good, and it had been further purified and enhanced by the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Besides, she had never been exposed to something as wonderful as a world's origin before. Within just a hundred years of cultivating in this world's origin, her strength had soared to the late stage of the God Uniting Realm Level 8, only one step away from entering the God Uniting Realm Level 9.

If Ji Li were to face those four God Uniting Realm Level 5 cultivators who had blocked her path before, she could easily deal with them now.

However, Ji Li was well aware that even though her strength had increased several levels, she was no match for the old woman in front of her. The old woman's aura was far stronger than hers, and the Dao rhythm flowing around her almost formed a tangible substance, clearly indicating a Quasi-Sage Realm expert.

"Hahaha..." The old woman laughed in a hoarse, cold voice, "I want to take a disciple, and others would be eager to join my sect, yet you refuse me. You're really making me lose face."

"Girl?" Ji Li looked at the old woman's face, which resembled old tree bark, and almost threw up.

"Feng Qigu, please forgive her. This junior sister is a friend's Dao companion, so she cannot become your disciple." A loud voice interrupted the old woman's laughter.

Feng Qigu's laughter stopped abruptly, and she glared coldly at the approaching skinny man. "Huang Fan Hong, are you trying to stop me for this girl? You're a Dao Lord, and so am I. Don't make me lose my temper."

Yellow River Dao Lord said calmly, "I owe her Dao companion a favor, so as long as I'm here, I won't let you touch her."

Among the Four Great Dao Lords, Yellow River Dao Lord's strength was considered the weakest, while the strongest was Feng Qigu, the Golden Pool Dao Lord, in front of them. Now that everyone's strength had recovered to about 70 or 80 percent, Yellow River Dao Lord was still very wary of this Feng Qigu.

"Huang Fan Hong, let's see what you'll use to threaten me now." A man in green clothes laughed wildly as he landed opposite Yellow River Dao Lord.

When Yellow River Dao Lord saw the man in green, his expression changed, but he still said steadily, "Fang Shiyu, even though you condensed a physical body with the help of a world's origin, I, Huang Fan Hong, am not necessarily afraid of you."

"What's wrong, Dao Friend Fang, is Huang Fan Hong going against you too?" Feng Qigu immediately asked.

At this moment, Feng Qigu was in a good mood. Originally, among the Four Great Dao Lords, her strength was the strongest. She wasn't afraid of Yellow River Dao Lord even alone. Now that there was Fang Shiyu, who was even stronger than Yellow River Dao Lord, she had even less to fear.

When she was cultivating before, she wasn't far from Ji Li. That was why she knew how strong Ji Li's aptitude was. But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that Ji Li's beauty was driving her crazy. She couldn't forgive herself if this body didn't belong to her, Feng Qigu.

So when absorbing the origin, she focused all her energy on consolidating her primordial spirit and Sea of Consciousness, and condensing the Great Dao. As for her physical body, she didn't spend much time on it. Because she had already planned it out: after the cultivation ended, Ji Li's body would be hers.

"Hehe, this turtle harassed me when I didn't have a physical body. Now I want to see how strong he really is, this Yellow River Dao Lord." Fang Shiyu had now condensed a physical body and didn't need Ji Li's body. With his vengeful nature, he naturally wouldn't let go of Yellow River Dao Lord for disturbing his good fortune before.

"Alright, then please help me teach Huang Fan Hong a lesson. I'll take this woman first." After saying this, Feng Qigu was about to grab Ji Li.

Yellow River Dao Lord Huang Fan Hong's face was a little ugly. He was a grateful person. But if he faced both Feng Qigu and Fang Shiyu alone, he would surely die if he didn't escape. The only way was to leave quickly and tell Ji Li's Dao companion, Mo Wuji, about this.

"Let's see who dares to touch Dao Friend Ji Li." Along with the voice, a figure blocked Feng Qigu's path.

This person's attire was too unique. Although he was thin, his red crescent crown was still extremely eye-catching. Not only that, but his slender face and small eyes were equally noticeable.

Feng Qigu suddenly stopped and stared at the man in front of her in shock. She even said hesitantly, "Huan Ti Saint?"

"Hahahaha..." Huan Ti laughed heartily. After laughing for a while, he said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would still recognize me, Huan Ti. I thought no one in this world knew who I, Huan Ti, was anymore."

Feng Qigu's eyes revealed extreme fear. Even though she was sure that Huan Ti couldn't possibly be a Saint now, she still subconsciously took several steps back. This was caused by the imposing manner of a Saint. She also had a divine position, but her Four Great Dao Lord divine position was not on the same level as the Saint divine position.

Fang Shiyu's eyes also narrowed, and then he said strangely, "Huan Ti, others may fear you, but I, Fang Shiyu, don't."

Fang Shiyu was qualified enough to say this. Back then, he and Universe Myriad Gods Dock's Xing Li Jian were ranked as the strongest people below the Saints. He didn't have a divine position.

If Huan Ti was a Saint now, he could only run as far as possible. But now, Huan Ti was not a Saint at all. Not to mention a Saint, Huan Ti was still far from being a Quasi-Sage Completion.

So Fang Shiyu was sure that Huan Ti was no match for him now.

The origin before the collapse of a world was a good thing. But in a mere hundred years, no matter how good the thing was, it wouldn't be enough for Huan Ti's strength to recover to Quasi-Sage Completion.

Huan Ti's face became a little ugly. He was a Saint back then, but he didn't expect that even a guy like Fang Shiyu, who didn't even have a divine position, would dare to provoke him. But the fact was that he was really no match for Fang Shiyu now.

"If you, Fang Shiyu, are so powerful, why don't you let me, Tong Ming, compete with you?" Tong Ming grinned and stepped into the battle.

"You're still here?" When Fang Shiyu saw Tong Ming, his face was even more shocked than when he saw Huan Ti.

Not only was Fang Shiyu shocked, but the surrounding cultivators who hadn't left were also staring at Tong Ming in shock.

Because Tong Ming was an even older Saint than Huan Ti. But after being plotted against back then, everyone thought that Tong Ming had undergone Nirvana in the universe, but he didn't expect that Tong Ming hadn't fallen at all and was still alive and well.

Tong Ming sneered, "If you, Fang Shiyu, haven't died, how can I, Tong Ming, not be here?"

"Tong Ming, this is for this woman. You were also a top powerhouse in the universe back then. The Apocalypse is coming soon. Do you really have to fight me before the Apocalypse arrives?" Fang Shiyu's face was a little ugly. Before Tong Ming re-certified as a Saint, he thought that he wasn't afraid of Tong Ming. But he had just recovered his vitality and didn't want to fight a powerhouse like Tong Ming.

"Dao Friend Ji Li is Brother Mo's Dao companion. If anything happens, you, Fang Shiyu, can't afford to take the responsibility." Tong Ming smiled.

"Haha, just a woman, let me, Fang Shiyu, see if I can afford to take the responsibility." Fang Shiyu laughed loudly. He was a supreme powerhouse below the Saint back then. Everyone was using this woman's Dao companion to threaten him, Fang Shiyu. Did they think that he, Fang Shiyu, grew up eating grass?

"Brother Fang, I, Feng Qigu, will stand with you. Just a woman, what's her name? Ji Li? I insist on touching her."

After saying this, Feng Qigu turned her head and said sternly, "Everyone, Huan Ti has already lost his divine position. Not to mention a Saint, he can't even perfect his Quasi-Sage state. In the future, when Brother Fang obtains the position of Saint, those who stand by me and Brother Fang will be our own people."

In a short period of time, Feng Qigu had completely figured things out. Huan Ti was a Saint back then, that's right. But now, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Fang Shiyu alone could handle him. Tong Ming obviously wouldn't risk his life for a mere Ji Li. And there were so many powerhouses here. As long as she could pull in a few more Quasi-Sage level experts, a mere Yellow River was nothing.

For Feng Qigu, it was too easy to pull a few people to her side. Among those with and without divine positions here, how many didn't have some kind of connection with her? You have to know that her Dao Lord title was Golden Pool.

As expected, as soon as Feng Qigu finished speaking, several people were immediately tempted. At a time when the Apocalypse was about to arrive, if they could follow a powerhouse who had the hope of becoming a Saint, that would definitely be a godsend opportunity.

"Who dares to touch Ji Li!" A plain-looking young man with a long halberd on his back descended from the void.

"Wuji..." Ever since she was rescued by Yellow River Dao Lord, that kind of impulse that had been lingering in Ji Li's heart finally erupted and found a source to vent. She didn't even think about it carefully and stepped in front of Mo Wuji, hugging him tightly.

A soft warmth came over him, and Mo Wuji was also a little dazed. What happened to Ji Li?

(That's it for today's update, good night, friends!)
