Chapter 104: Who is she?
Qi Tian's Blue Silver King spirit had successfully evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor spirit.
Even dozens of miles away in the Blue Silver Forest, the Blue Silver King instantly sensed the emperor's presence.
Unfortunately, its spiritual reach could not extend that far; it could only wait quietly in the forest for the emperor's return.
The strange phenomena in Qi Tian's Blue Silver Domain gradually subsided, and the black jade bamboo spirit returned to its ring.
"Qi Tian, are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing, who had been guarding him, hurried over with worry written across her face.
Qi Tian smiled. "I'm better than ever!"
After awakening the Blue Silver Emperor spirit, his already handsome features became even more striking.
Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly for a moment, an urge to pounce on him rising inside her. But it was still broad daylight, so she held herself back.
"Your spirit seemed to change just now?" Zhu Zhuqing had been close enough to see clearly.
Qi Tian nodded. "That's right. My Blue Silver Grass spirit evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor spirit."
"Your Netherworld Spirit Cat may have a chance to evolve in the future as well!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. "Really?"
She had just witnessed the benefits of spirit evolution; after Qi Tian's spirit evolved, his domain had gained entirely new abilities.
"It's true. But you'll need to keep cultivating diligently."
Qi Tian planned to help Zhu Zhuqing absorb the spirit ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger someday; it would be tremendously beneficial to her.
If they could also obtain the Heavenly Jewel that had once made Zhou Weiqing a god, it would be perfect.
More than half a year had passed since Zhu Zhuqing absorbed her last spirit ring, and her cultivation had advanced again.
Her soul power had broken through from level 34 to level 36 and was nearing level 37.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was over fifty thousand years old. For Zhu Zhuqing to absorb its ring, she would need to reach at least the Soul Sage realm.
That long stretch of time was enough for Qi Tian to prepare everything for the hunt.
His own soul power had also surged from level 47 to level 50; he could absorb a new ring and become a Soul King at any moment.
Zhu Zhuqing returned to cultivating with renewed excitement.
Qi Tian moved to another spot. A flash of five-coloured light appeared as he withdrew the Blue Silver Grass that was Ah Yin from the small world inside the artifact.
His Blue Silver Domain unfurled, pouring life force into her to awaken her.
Ah Yin had not sacrificed her spirit ring, so her original vitality remained intact. Sensing Qi Tian's help, she actively began recovering.
In almost no time, before the surrounding plant-type soul beasts could even lend their strength, she successfully revived and took human form once more.
The earlier beam of light had burned her clothes to ash; upon resurrection she was completely bare.
Ah Yin immediately used her spirit to weave a simple blue dress from Blue Silver Grass, covering her snow-white skin.
But Qi Tian's eyes were sharp—he had already seen everything.
Though he had experienced plenty while possessing her body, this was the first time he had viewed it from the outside.
"Who are you?" Ah Yin frowned and asked.
She clearly remembered that just moments ago she and Qi Tian had been surrounded by Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.
Then a five-coloured light flashed, spatial compression hit her, and she lost consciousness.
When she awoke, another owner of the Blue Silver Emperor spirit was helping her restore vitality and revive.
"How long was I unconscious? I'm safe now, but what about Qi Tian's soul? Is he alright?"
A thousand thoughts raced through Ah Yin's mind; she did not even register her earlier accidental exposure.
"Ah Yin, it's me—I'm Qi Tian!" Qi Tian said with a smile.
"What? You're Qi Tian? Weren't you… dead?" Ah Yin stared at the youth before her in disbelief.
Qi Tian nodded. "I found a trace of residual divine power and managed to resurrect myself!"
Ah Yin remained skeptical, so Qi Tian had to recount several private moments from when he had possessed her before she finally believed him.
"Qi Tian, on the continent there can only be one Blue Silver Emperor spirit. How do you have the same Blue Silver Emperor spirit as me?"
She had clearly felt him use the Blue Silver Emperor spirit to restore her vitality.
Qi Tian sighed. "Ah Yin, you were actually 'dead' for twelve years."
"To help you revive faster, I used divine power to create a Blue Silver Emperor spirit for myself."
"Twelve years?"
Ah Yin was stunned. It had felt like only an instant to her.
Moreover, she could revive on her own without help, and it definitely would not take twelve years.
"That's right. If you don't believe me, feel my bones and check my spirit manual."
Qi Tian extended his hand for her to examine, then took out his spirit manual.
It was only updated to the Spirit Master level, but the recorded year and his apparent age were proof enough of the current time.
Learning the "truth," Ah Yin felt deeply moved by how much Qi Tian had sacrificed to save her.
"These twelve years of resurrection must have been very hard on you, haven't they?"
"Enough, Ah Yin. Let's not talk about that. You're safe now. A lot has happened in the past twelve years—let me tell you."
Ah Yin no longer pressed for details. As long as she was alive and Qi Tian had been resurrected, that was enough.
Qi Tian told her about some of the things that had happened to him over the past twelve years, including Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.
"The Pope is dead? Tang Hao and Tang Xiao are still alive?" Ah Yin felt a twinge of regret.
With death behind her, her hatred had faded. She no longer despised Qian Xunji as much—had he not appeared, she would never have had the chance to pit one tiger against another.
"I know where Tang Hao is. Do you want revenge?" Qi Tian asked.
Ah Yin shook her head. "Forget it. Twelve years ago Tang Hao was already near the Titled level. We're no match for him."
She kept staring at Qi Tian. More than revenge, she wanted to continue the fate they had shared in her "previous life."
Qi Tian did not notice and continued, "Don't worry—we don't have to lift a finger!"
In this world, there had never been any sordid relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji.
So Bibi Dong's desire for vengeance was probably even stronger than his own. Otherwise she would not have stormed the Clear Sky Sect and forced them to seal their mountain.
In the end Tang Hao had admitted his guilt and left the sect; the matter had been temporarily settled.
All Qi Tian needed to do was locate Tang Hao and send Bibi Dong after him. Then he could simply sit back and watch the show.
"We don't need to do anything?"
Qi Tian nodded slightly. "Yes. The current Pope, Bibi Dong, was Qian Xunji's disciple. We can ask her to avenge us."
"Bibi Dong? She's a woman?" Ah Yin asked, then pointed at Zhu Zhuqing. "And who is that woman?"
Back then Bibi Dong had already made a name for herself on the continent; Ah Yin had heard of her and naturally knew she was female.
Qi Tian felt a little awkward—why was Ah Yin's focus so strange?
"Ah Yin, let me explain…"
Before Qi Tian could think of a story, Ah Yin cut him off. "No need to explain. I understand—you sacrificed so much to save me."
Ah Yin could only blame herself for losing twelve years, giving another woman the chance to get close to him.
