Wu Ming punched a small snake to paste outside the Absolute Domain.

 

Chen Changan’s eyes glinted.

 

In a flashy light display, the little snake returned to life.

 

“Eh?” Wu Ming started.

 

He and the little snake were both stumped.

 

It ran away at once.

 

“Lord, should I keep killing the snake Demon?”

 

Chen Changan shook his head at the frantic snake fleeing for its newfound life.

 

“That won’t be necessary. The testing is almost over.”

 

Wu Ming was stumped. Even now, he was clueless as to what Chen Changan was after with his experiments.

 

One thing was certain, though: it had to do with revival.

 

“Let’s return.” Chen Changan took Wu Ming to Eternity Temple, where he called for Ling Bao’er and Foxy.

 

“Master.”

 

“Ya, yi, ya, yi!”

 

The testing allowed Chen Changan to put v5.0’s trait to good use. It would safeguard Bao’er on her trip to the Immortal Domain.

 

The Ruler of Life and Death trait could form a Life and Death Talisman, ensuring that even if the subject left the Absolute Domain, it would still come into effect.

 

Once the subject experienced death, the Life and Death Talisman would trigger and revive it.

 

In Chen Changan’s attempts, he discovered a severe limitation. Each person could only wear one such talisman.

 

Chen Changan found it a pity, but still quite enough.

 

He placed a Life and Death Talisman on Ling Bao’er, Wu Ming, and Foxy.

 

“You all now possess the power of revival, thanks to my Life and Death Talisman.” But keep in mind, it will only work once.”

 

Wu Ming experienced Chen Changan’s godlike power and didn’t react. He was just curious. [Lord killed me dozens of times already, only to revive me again. Why does it only work once now?]

 

He voiced his concerns, to which Chen Changan answered, “For endless revival, I need to do it myself, and not through the Life and Death Talisman.”

 

Wu Ming exclaimed.

 

The girls drew blanks. [Revival?]

 

“Master, what’s revival?”

 

Chen Changan chuckled, and Wu Ming was flattened to death.

 

The girls jumped in shock. “Master, h-he’s dead.”

 

“Ya, yi, ya, yi!”

 

The next moment, Wu Ming shone in a glorious light and was back among the living.

 

Chen Changan didn’t use Ruler of Life and Death, letting the Life and Death Talisman work its magic.

 

“Lord, at least tell me when you do that next time so I can prepare.” Wu Ming gave Chen Changan a grumbling look.

 

“Ahh!”

 

“He’s alive!”

 

“Ghost!”

 

Foxy darted behind Ling Bao’er, scared to death.

 

Ling Bao’er’s eyes went wide. “Master, Wu Ming i-is alive again!”

 

“Yes, this is the power of the Life and Death Talisman.”

 

Chen Changan placed it on Wu Ming once more.

 

“Wu Ming, Bao’er, Foxy, the talisman means you all have an extra life. You’ve all seen its power.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Ya, yi, ya, yi!”

 

“Wu Ming, Bao’er, you still have to be cautious in the Immortal Domain, even with the Life and Death Talisman.”

 

“Rest easy, Lord, for I shall protect Young Miss.”

 

“Master, I will get the Sword Immortal Inheritance and come back alive!”

 

Chen Changan rubbed her head and turned to Wu Ming. “Protect her, or you will have a tragic end.”

 

Wu Ming gulped, “Lord, isn’t dying already tragic enough?”

 

…

 

Ah’Miao sat on a rock on a tall peak in Heavenly Fox Clan’s domain.

 

Her long, smooth, and sensual legs dangled on the edge as she stared in Soaring Immortal Mountain’s direction.

 

Her short, golden hair fluttered while her tail swayed. Her eyes were half-lidded, dreaming of Chen Changan.

 

“I can’t wait to see Senior. It feels like ages since the last time I saw him.” I will become Senior’s disciple at the disciple contest, and then I can see him every day!”

 

A roar echoed as a flood dragon arrived.

 

Ah’Miao lit up, “Flood Dragon Hei, you’re here at last.”

 

Hei focused his huge eyes, laughing, “Ah’Miao, sorry it took so long.”

 

She stood on the rock, and her ears twitched in excitement. “Flood Dragon Hei, did Senior agree?”

 

“Yes, as Young Master rarely uses me as a mount, he heard of your wish to go with me; he even gave me something called Life and Death Talisman, saying it will save my life and that I should protect you.”

 

“Wa~, Senior is so nice.”

 

Ah’Miao swooned, knowing Chen Changan had sent Hei to take care of her. Her smile widened, and her tail wagged.

 

“Ah’Miao, you’re at the 8th layer of Nascent Soul Stage, enough for the disciple contest,” Hei said gravely. There’s hardly any genius on the Nine Province Continent that can match you. Are you sure you want to go to Everlasting Jade Lake? It’s very dangerous.”

 

Ah’Miao gave a hard nod, flashing her claws. “Bai Yue said the disciple contest won’t be easy, with other Immortal Domain recultivating geniuses participating. Those geniuses are at the Spirit Severing Stage at the weakest. I can’t lose to them!

 

“The tomb hidden in the Everlasting Jade Lake may be my only chance to contend with the geniuses.” I must go, no matter the dangers!”

 

The Everlasting Jade Lake was a death zone in Ghost Province.

 

A few centuries ago, Hei, Ah’Miao, and Bai Yue had gone there.

 

Ah’Miao had ventured deep into the Jade Lake to capture some butterfly koi. There she stumbled upon a tomb.

 

It was filled with countless corpses, but Ah’Miao discovered an immortal inheritance.

 

Back then, she thought it was just a common inheritance, but after witnessing the immortals’ descent and battling Ghost Immortal, she believed it to be much more special than that.

 

Before she could take it, a sudden terror gripped her, and she fled for her life.

 

Now, in the 8th layer of Nascent Soul Stage, many times stronger than centuries ago, she was confident she could brave the dangers of the tomb.

 

She would get that immortal inheritance. It was all she needed to become Senior’s disciple in the disciple contest.

 

This was Ah’Miao’s hope.
