Chapter 88 A New Beginning on the Immortal Path, Encountering Perils Again

Dai Yao hummed a little tune, pondering how to distribute those dazzling spoils of war when she got back, such as that immortal sword that was said to be able to cut through iron like mud and could automatically play background music. Who should get it?

Sigh, having too many choices is a problem!

She thought to herself with delight, feeling that she had reached the pinnacle of her life.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Little girl, you seem to be having a lot of fun." A deep voice sounded in her ear.

Dai Yao was so frightened that she almost lost her soul and nearly ascended to heaven on the spot.

She stiffly turned her head and saw a familiar yet "respectable" face—the Lingxiao Immortal who presided over the test of immortal destiny was looking at her with a sly smile, a smile that looked...like an old fox!

Dai Yao's inner monologue: No way, this old man hasn't left yet?

Are they here to ask for a fee for their hard work?

I should have run faster!

On the surface, however, he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Immortal Lingxiao, you haven't left yet? What instructions do you have?"

The Immortal Lingxiao stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously: "I dare not presume to give instructions, I just wanted to tell you that the test of your destiny is not over yet."

Dai Yao's smile froze instantly, while a million curses ran through her mind.

What?

Not over yet?

play me?

It's like playing a game. You're watching the boss fall and drop a bunch of equipment, and you're about to pick it up when suddenly the system prompts: Congratulations, you've entered the second stage!

Who could stand that!

But she was, after all, a villain who had seen it all, and quickly adjusted her mindset. She took a deep breath and gave a "sincere" smile: "May I ask, Immortal, what other tests are there? Bring it on!" In her heart, however, she was silently praying: Please don't make it too difficult, this girl just wants to lie down and relax!

Immortal Lingxiao admired Dai Yao's quick change of expression, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He said, "This final test..." He deliberately paused, looking at Dai Yao's nervous little face, before slowly saying, "It's... in that forbidden area." He pointed to a distant valley shrouded in mist, eerie and exuding an ominous aura.

Dai Yao looked in that direction and almost choked.

Good heavens, this isn't a forbidden area, it's a death trap!

This place is so eerie, I'm afraid if you go in, you might never come out.

She inwardly cursed wildly, but outwardly feigned composure: "May I ask, Immortal, what secrets lie within this forbidden area?"

The Immortal Lingxiao smiled slightly: "Within the forbidden area lie three mysterious keys. Only by collecting all three keys can one truly unlock the immortal destiny and obtain the ultimate inheritance."

"Three keys?" Dai Yao repeated, inwardly groaning.

That sounds like a lot of trouble!

“Indeed.” Immortal Lingxiao nodded. “Moreover, this forbidden area is fraught with danger. Not only are there powerful restrictions, but other cultivators are also searching for the key. Whether you can obtain the final inheritance depends on your fate.”

Before Dai Yao could process this information, she sensed that the atmosphere around her had become subtle.

Those cultivators who had competed with her in the trials of immortal destiny were now staring at her with predatory eyes, their gazes filled with greed and hostility.

"Heh, looks like someone's trying to rob me!" Dai Yao sneered, completely unfazed.

These people were already eyeing her spoils, and now they want to steal her keys? They're just delusional!

As soon as she stepped into the forbidden area, she felt an immense pressure wash over her.

Immediately afterwards, several cultivators rushed up, eager to seize the treasures she had previously acquired.

"Well done!" A glint of light flashed in Dai Yao's eyes.

She quickly activated her cheat system, sensing the flow of energy around her, found a weak point, and then dodged their attack with a swift movement.

One of the cultivators missed his target and fell flat on his face, drawing laughter from those around him.

Dai Yao didn't hold back and kicked him, making him roll on the ground several times, looking utterly pathetic.

"That's it?" Dai Yao clapped her hands, looking disdainful.

Seeing this, the other cultivators hesitated.

They hadn't expected Dai Yao to be so powerful, and for a moment they dared not make any rash moves.

Dai Yao snorted coldly, glanced around, and smiled slightly: "Anyone else want to try?"

Just then, a clear voice rang out: "Miss Dai Yao, do you need any help?"

Dai Yao turned her head and saw a woman dressed in white standing not far away. It was Ling Yun, whom she had met once before during the trial of immortal destiny.

Before Dai Yao could answer, she felt a gust of wind coming from behind her.

She instinctively dodged to the side, only to see a figure dart past her and head straight for Lingyun.

"Ling Feng! What are you doing!" Dai Yao shouted angrily.

Ling Feng turned around and gave a wicked smile: "Naturally... I'll help you clear away the obstacles."

Dai Yao delivered a beautiful spinning kick, striking Ling Feng squarely in the chest and preventing him from getting close to Ling Yun.

"Clear obstacles? I think you're the biggest obstacle!" She rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Ling Feng always seems like a reckless fool whenever he shows up, causing nothing but trouble!

"Oh dear, Yao Yao, don't be so fierce!" Ling Feng rubbed his chest, looking aggrieved, his expression like that of a large dog abandoned by its owner.

"I was just worried about you! This forbidden area is fraught with danger, and you're all alone..."

“What’s wrong with me being alone?” Dai Yao interrupted him, raising an eyebrow. “I can handle the whole thing by myself, okay?”

Ling Feng wanted to say something more, but Dai Yao had already lost patience with his nonsense.

She turned to look at Lingyun and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Lingyun, but I don't need your help for now. If I really encounter any trouble, I certainly won't hesitate to help."

Lingyun smiled back and nodded gently.

This Dai Yao is really interesting; no wonder Senior Brother Ling Feng is so infatuated with her.

Dai Yao ignored the two and focused on finding the key.

This forbidden area truly lived up to its name; a chilling wind blew, fog filled the air, and strange noises could be heard from time to time, sending shivers down one's spine.

However, none of this scared Dai Yao.

She's a seasoned and knowledgeable time traveler; what's a little scene like this to her?

As she walked, she observed her surroundings and secretly activated her cheat system to sense the flow of fortune.

Soon, she noticed something was amiss.

Something seemed to be hidden behind a huge rock.

Dai Yao approached cautiously, parted the dense vines, and saw a glittering object lying there quietly.

It was a uniquely shaped key, emitting a faint golden glow; it was clearly no ordinary item.

"Found it!" Dai Yao was secretly delighted and reached out to pick up the key.

Just then, the key emitted a dazzling light, illuminating a large area around it and dispelling the thick fog.

Those cultivators who had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike, were suddenly exposed to the light.

They stared in disbelief at the key in Dai Yao's hand, their eyes filled with greed and envy.

"Damn it! She found the key first!"

"Quick, grab it!"

Immediately, the crowd was agitated, and shouts rose and fell.

However, Dai Yao simply smiled faintly, put the key away, and then looked into the depths of the forbidden area, her eyes gleaming with confidence.

"Want to steal it? Then try it."

Ling Feng paced back and forth outside the forbidden area, like an ant on a hot pan.

"It's been half a day since she went in, why is there still no sound? I hope nothing has happened to Yao Yao?" he muttered to himself worriedly.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly looked up into the depths of the forbidden area.

“This aura… it’s Yao Yao! She seems to be in trouble…” He clenched his fist, his eyes resolute. “No, I have to go in!” Just as he was about to take a step, he heard a voice from behind him: “Wait, Senior Brother Ling Feng.” Dai Yao glanced contemptuously at the rabble that had surrounded them, her heart unmoved, and she even felt a little amused.

That's it?

How dare you try to steal her things?

She's a woman who possesses a system!

"Come on, let's hurt each other!" Dai Yao beckoned with her finger provocatively, giving off a smug "come on, come here" look.

Enraged by her, the cultivators unleashed their magical weapons and attacked her.

Not to be outdone, Dai Yao unleashed her signature treasure—a shimmering pink fan.

"Biubiubiu!" Dai Yao shouted onomatopoeia while waving her small fan, unleashing a series of powerful attacks.

The pink light shone brightly, as dazzling as fireworks, yet it possessed a deadly destructive power.

Caught off guard, the cultivators were caught off guard and were defeated one after another.

"That's it? That's it?" Dai Yao shrugged, looking completely relaxed.

Just then, Lingyun arrived.

Seeing Dai Yao being besieged by the crowd, she joined the battle without hesitation, helping Dai Yao fight against those greedy cultivators.

"Yao Yao, I'm here to help you!" Ling Yun shouted, summoning her magic weapon to fight alongside Dai Yao.

With Lingyun's arrival, the battle situation instantly turned around.

The two worked together seamlessly, like two swords combined, their power amplified, and they quickly routed the cultivators.

"666, you truly are my best friend!" Dai Yao gave Ling Yun a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration.

After the battle, the two continued their search for the key.

This time, they were incredibly lucky and quickly found the second mysterious key.

The other cultivators were dumbfounded when they saw this.

They then realized that Dai Yao was not so easy to deal with.

"This woman is quite capable!"

"It seems we need to reassess her abilities..."

Dai Yao put away the second key, a confident smile playing on her lips.

Suddenly, she sensed a powerful aura approaching.

"Yaoyao, be careful!" Lingyun noticed something was wrong and quickly reminded her.

Dai Yao turned her head and saw a figure dressed in white, with an air of otherworldly grace, slowly walking towards her.

It was the Lingxiao Immortal who presided over the test of immortal destiny.

"Congratulations on passing the first test." Immortal Lingxiao smiled and spoke gently. "However, there is still a hidden test to pass before you can truly complete the test of immortal destiny."

Dai Yao and Ling Yun exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Hidden levels?" Dai Yao raised an eyebrow. "What hidden levels?"

The Immortal Lingxiao smiled mysteriously: "Want to know? Then come with me." With that, he turned and left.

Dai Yao and Ling Yun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to follow.

Just as they were about to step into the entrance to the hidden level, a familiar voice suddenly rang out:

"Yaoyao, wait for me!"
