In the Four Saint Pagoda, the Great Spirit Ancestor was guarding the first level.
Battle cries resounded around the massive altar as Spiritual Energy and Demonic Aura clashed together, emitting ear-deafening noises that caused the heavens and earth in this level to constantly tremble.
To protect and destroy the altar, the experts of the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans had started a massacre in this place.
In the northwest corner of the altar, there were several silhouettes gathered together, with Luo Li in the middle. Standing around her were Ling Xi, Wen Qingxuan, and the rest with their guards up as they looked around.
Their formation wasn't too eye-catching. After all, just the number of Perfected Earth Sovereigns in this battlefield could be counted with two hands, and that didn't include the experts of the Fiend Clans.
But fortunately, there weren't any powerhouses on the same level as Shi Tianyou on this level. So although the battle was intense, there wasn't a clear victor, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
"Luo Li, what's that woman doing?"
All of a sudden, Wen Qingxuan poked Luo Li as her phoenix-like eyes looked into the distance. Extremely close to the altar, there was a rather large circle of battle. At the center of the circle, there was a lady in snow-white clothes, who had a gentle and charming appearance.
At this moment, Wen Qingxuan and the rest already knew that this woman, Bai Xin 'er, was Luo Li's competitor. Their target was the inheritance of the Great Spirit Ancestor in this level.
Bai Xin 'er's means were high, so there were many powerful experts around her. There were even a few Perfected Earth Sovereigns amongst them. Their formation was the most luxurious in this level.
Thus, they were able to get close to the altar and resist the other experts of the Fiend Clans.
At this moment, the woman named Bai Xin 'er first cast a glance at Luo Li from afar and her rosy lips rose before she gently sat down.
Her hands swiftly formed seals and a spiritual lustre gathered above her head. Vaguely, there seemed to be invisible ripples spreading out.
"She's trying to communicate with the Great Spirit Ancestor's slumbering will." Luo Li said with his eyes squinted.
Because no one had released the sealed soul fragment of the Sky Monarch in this level, the Great Spirit Ancestor's will was still in slumber.
Evidently, if Bai Xin 'er could communicate with the will of the Great Spirit Ancestor, she would be able to make use of his power to sweep through the Fiend Clans. If that's the case, she would undoubtedly become the greatest contributor. At that time, one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities in the Great Thousand World, the Ancient Spirit Annihilation Light, would naturally belong to her.
"We have to stop her!"
Ling Xi knitted her brows. If they allowed Bai Xin 'er to obtain the Ancient Spirit Annihilation Light, then Luo Li's trip would end in failure.
The reason why Mu Chen brought all of them to Luo Li's side was because she wanted them to help her accomplish this task. So if they failed, then it would be hard for her to explain herself.
"I'll go disturb her!"
Long Xiang clenched his fist and said. Although there were several Perfected Earth Sovereigns on the other side, he wasn't afraid.
However, his actions were obstructed by Luo Li, who shook her head. "The cultivation technique that she's cultivating should be the Ancient Spirit Clan's Ancient Spirit Scripture. It's said that the Great Spirit Ancestor also cultivated the same cultivation technique, and she wants to use this method to awaken the will of the Great Spirit Ancestor."
"That's a pretty good idea, but it won't be as easy as she thinks."
From the information that she had obtained, the Great Spirit Ancestor was the first to fall out of the four Ancestors. Thus, the will that he had left behind was in a deep slumber, and it's extremely hard to awaken it. So Bai Xin 'er might not be able to succeed.
Seeing how calm Luo Li was, everyone suppressed the anxiety in their hearts and watched the development of the situation.
When they quietened down, Bai Xin 'er, who was far away, suddenly cast a glance in their direction. Seeing that there weren't any unusual movements from them, she faintly smiled and waved her hand towards the experts beside her.
Those experts had also retracted their gazes from Luo Li's party and surrounded Bai Xin 'er to protect her.
"That woman is truly vigilant and has her guard up against us at all times." Wen Qingxuan raised her brows.
"How can someone that can become the Quasi-Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit Clan be someone easy to deal with?"
Luo Li lightly smiled. Bai Xin 'er was alone, but she was able to make use of her wealth to have so many experts around her that were willing to work for her. Her means weren't something that an ordinary person could pull off.
As they spoke, the profound lustre above Bai Xin 'er's head grew even more dazzling. It was like a bright moon that illuminated the entire heavens and earth.
That light had also spread to the altar. At the center of the altar, the ancient stone tablet seemed to tremble at this moment.
Bai Xin 'er's face flashed with joy. But the joy didn't last for long, since she realised that the stone tablet had returned to silence. It was like a boulder that didn't move.
Gritting her teeth, Bai Xin 'er frantically circulated the Spiritual Energy in her body and the lustre constantly spread out, enveloping the ancient stone tablet.
Boom!
Boom!
Her commotion had attracted the attention of some experts of the Fiend Clans and they immediately launched their attacks. However, they were all resisted by the experts around her.
"Wake up!"
Bai Xin 'er bit on her rosy lips as she constantly circulated the Great Spirit Scripture in an attempt to communicate with the Great Spirit Ancestor's will. But in the end, there wasn't any response.
After probing for a long time, Bai Xin 'er finally opened her eyes with a pale face. Her face was filled with reluctance as she raised her head to look at the altar and muttered to herself, "Could it be that I have to ascend the altar to awaken the Ancestor's will?"
But if that's the case, she would definitely be obstructed by the experts of the Fiend Clans, and if some of them managed to ascend the altar and awaken the soul fragment of the Sky Monarch, it would be troublesome.
"Miss Xin 'er, did you fail?" A robust man approached and asked with concern.
Nodding her head with a smile, Bai Xin 'er gently replied, "It has been tough on you guys."
Seeing Bai Xin 'er's gentle smile, that person's spirit instantly trembled. "Miss Xin' er, don't be anxious. We will escort you to the altar, and you will definitely be able to awaken the will of the Great Spirit Ancestor.
"As for them, you don't have to worry about them. It's something that even Miss Xin 'er couldn't accomplish, so they won't be able to."
He was naturally referring to Luo Li's party. Evidently, they knew that Luo Li was her greatest competitor under Bai Xin 'er's words.
Bai Xin 'er gently smiled. "You can't put it that way. We have to be cautious of Luo Li as well."
As she spoke, she looked in the direction of Luo Li's party and suddenly squinted her eyes. That's because she saw that Luo Li, who hadn't made any movements, had actually sat down.
Sensing Bai Xin 'er's gaze, Luo Li slightly raised her head and her crystal-like pupils met with Bai Xin' er's gaze, before swiftly looking away.
Retracting her gaze, Bai Xin 'er squinted her eyes. "Could it be that Luo Li intends to communicate with the will of the Great Spirit Ancestor?"
But just thinking about it, a profound smile rose on the corner of her lips. She knew that Luo Li had just been appointed as the Quasi-Holy Maiden by Celestial Chi Yan a few months ago, and she had never cultivated in the Ancient Spirit Clan. So for someone like her, who had no experience in the Ancient Spirit Clan, to communicate with the Great Spirit Ancestor was simply a dream.
"Luo Li, can you do it?"
Standing beside Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan asked in a worried tone. After witnessing Bai Xin 'er's failure, they knew how difficult it was to awaken the will of the Great Spirit Ancestor.
After all, Bai Xin 'er had cultivated the Ancient Spirit Scripture, while Luo Li had never cultivated in the Ancient Spirit Clan's cultivation technique or Divine Ability.
Luo Li lightly smiled as she said, "Do you know why Old Immortal Chi Yan is so confident in me, that I can obtain the Ancient Spirit Heaven Annihilating Light?"
Wen Qingxuan shook her head.
"Because I've cultivated the Luo Shen Celestial Body." Luo Li chuckled.
Hearing those words, Wen Qingxuan was baffled. What did cultivating the Luo Shen Celestial Body have to do with the Ancient Spirit Clan?
Raising her head, Luo Li looked at the ancient altar. "Celestial Chi Yan once said that in ancient times, the Great Spirit Ancestor was an infatuated person."
"Who is he infatuated with?" Ling Xi seemed to have understood something.
With a sly smile, Luo Li replied, "He's infatuated with the previous owner of the Luo Shen Celestial Body, the ancestor of our Luo God Clan, Luo Shen!"
"I understand now!
You're trying to use a honey trap? No, a honey trap to awaken the slumbering will of the Great Spirit Ancestor! "Wen Qingxuan clapped her hands and exclaimed.
Blinking her eyes, Luo Li mischievously said, "For the Ancient Spirit Extinguishing Light, I can only 'sacrifice' the beauty of the ancestor."
Exchanging a look, Wen Qingxuan and the rest wondered if that would work as well.
Luo Li no longer spoke as she formed seals with her jade-like hands. Boundless Spiritual Light swept out from behind her, filling the heavens and earth as a slender and elegant light figure that seemed to contain the pinnacle of beauty in the world slowly appeared behind her.
The Luo Shen Celestial Body, the most beautiful Sovereign Celestial Body in the Great Thousand World!
