No wonder Grandpa respected her so much; her strength and identity were not to be underestimated.
Dugu Yan lowered her head, saying nothing.
"What? Lost your spirit already?"
"If you lose confidence at the first setback, how will you fare in the future?"
Hearing Chen Qingling's words, Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, "I will definitely catch up to you!"
"Catch up to me?" Chen Qingling couldn't help but laugh. She couldn't be viewed with normal standards. Catching up to her was likely unrealistic!
But she didn't want to crush Dugu Yan's competitive spirit just like that, so she looked up, basking in the sunlight.
"Alright! You want to chase after me? Let's see if you can keep up."
Dugu Yan crossed her arms, a hint of arrogance in her voice. "I will definitely catch up! Don't underestimate me!"
This scene brought a look of satisfaction to Dugu Bo's face, and he found himself quite fond of Chen Qingling.
She's such a good person.
She had no airs of a proud genius, instead being approachable and kind to everyone.
Like a celestial maiden, perfectly embodying a saying:
Such a woman should only exist in the heavens; she's rarely seen in the mortal world!
"Chen Qingling... you came to Sunset Forest for..." Dugu Bo suddenly remembered something and asked.
Don't tell me she's after my Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye again?
He was certain that besides the ice and fire springs and the remaining immortal herbs, there was nothing else of value there.
"I'm just here to get my Fourth Spirit Ring from Sunset Forest."
Dugu Bo: …
The atmosphere fell silent.
Dugu Yan's eyes widened in shock as she sized up Chen Qingling.
This… this isn't right, is it? She's a year younger than me, but already getting her Fourth Spirit Ring before I have! Is this what it means to be a genius?
No, she's a monster!
Even most geniuses don't have talents like Qingling!
When Dugu Bo heard that Qingling was here for her Fourth Spirit Ring, his mind went blank, as if struck by lightning.
She had only just obtained her third spirit ring, hadn't she?
This was outrageous!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Dugu Bo wouldn't have believed that anyone could improve at such a monstrous rate!
From ancient times until now, Chen Qingling was probably the only one!
Dugu Bo belatedly realized, could it be that this time the Fourth Spirit Ring was also a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast sacrificing itself to Chen Qingling?
Dugu Bo was numb.
His granddaughter had a lot of catching up to do, she probably couldn't catch up even if she had ten legs!
But he knew he couldn't discourage his granddaughter, lest she couldn't accept the reality.
"Cough, cough... Then you go ahead. We won't bother you any further."
With that, Dugu Bo pulled his granddaughter and, without looking back, soared towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Chen Qingling blinked, watching the grandfather and granddaughter leave.
"They're already gone?"
At the same time, unbeknownst to Chen Qingling and the others, the butterfly-shaped Soul Beasts of the Sunset Forest spontaneously gathered together, swarming towards her.
There was no need to use the Butterfly-Attracting Flower; the butterfly-shaped Soul Beasts were all eagerly flying towards her.
It was simply because Chen Qingling was the Monarch of Butterflies, the Butterfly God, in their eyes!
Such a significant disturbance, happening twice in a row, had alarmed even the most powerful Soul Beasts in the Sunset Forest.
Everyone watched the direction the butterfly-shaped Soul Beasts had flown.
Confusion filled their eyes; they didn't understand why this was happening again and again.
Meanwhile.
Chen Qingling was just about to take out the attracting butterfly flower from her soul tool when she looked up, sensing something.
Far away, a vast swarm of butterfly-shaped Soul Beasts flew towards her.
"Huh?!"
Chen Qingling was dumbfounded. She hadn't even taken out the attracting butterfly flower yet, and they were already coming to her? What was going on? …
Star Dou Great Forest, a thatched cottage.
Chen Shenge watched the scene unfolding in the sky, eyes narrowed, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"After going through so much, my daughter has finally grown up!"
"But this time, without the Butterfly-attracting Flower, she still managed to summon a butterfly tide. Interesting."
The system hadn't issued any warnings, which meant something was up.
Chen Shenge thoughtfully stroked his chin, a glint in his eyes, and suddenly remembered something.
"Are they treating my daughter like the Butterfly God?"
His daughter currently possessed the Butterfly God's left arm bone!
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's expensive, but the benefits are huge."
Inside the sky…
The tide of butterflies once again surrounded Chen Qingling, lifting her high into the air, as if welcoming their queen.
Chen Qingling looked bewildered, "This is…"
At that moment, she accidentally touched a butterfly and heard its inner thoughts.
"Welcome, Butterfly God!"
Chen Qingling's eyes narrowed slightly. They recognized her as the Butterfly God!
But she wasn't the Butterfly God yet…
Never mind.
She would become the Butterfly God one day! Chen Qingling simply gave in, letting things play out as they may.
Under Chen Qingling's gaze, a twenty-thousand-year-old Heavenly Spirit Butterfly sacrificed itself.
Sunset Forest was once again enveloped by black light, causing many Soul Beasts to look at each other in confusion.
At the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan turned their heads sharply.
Seeing the familiar black light, Dugu Bo breathed a long sigh of relief.
She's obtaining her Fourth Spirit Ring!
Another Soul Beast sacrifice. Just what is her identity?
Dugu Yan stared blankly at the black light, not understanding what it meant.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
"Nothing…" Dugu Bo chose to conceal the truth; revealing it would only demoralize his granddaughter.
Dugu Bo couldn't let his granddaughter's efforts be interrupted, especially since she was finally taking things seriously.
The instigator, Chen Qingling, felt an unprecedented surge of power coursing through her body.
"So comfortable..." Chen Qingling purred, enjoying the sensation.
Soon, the sacrifice concluded.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host, the cultivation target Chen Qingling has obtained the Fourth Spirit Ring - Light of the Spirit Butterfly!] [Ding! Congratulations to the Host, the cultivation target Chen Qingling's soul power level has increased by three ranks!] [Ding! Tenfold Feedback Triggered!] [Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the God-Given Spirit Ring - Sword Rises, Clouds Fall!]
``` [Ding! Congratulations to the host for leveling up ten spirit power ranks!]
[Sword Rises, Clouds Fall: One sword strike makes the world lose color, cleaving clouds and severing stars.]
Chen Shenge grinned, "Good, good, good! Right in one step, I like it!"
"Hmm, my Fourth Spirit Skill, Sword Rises, Clouds Fall?"
"The momentum isn't bad."
Chen Shenge instinctively summoned the Xiaoyao Sword. He was just about to test out his Fourth Spirit Skill when he almost forgot about the old tree in front of the door, which would be gone if he tried it again.
His old face couldn't help but flush red. He cleared his throat, "Cough, cough, cough, let's try it in the sky."
The old tree: At least you still have some conscience.
Chen Qingling's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and an innate aura emanated from her, as she unleashed her Fourth Spirit Skill, Sword Rises, Clouds Fall.
This sword strike was earth-shattering, capable of making even the gods weep.
This sword cleaved through the clouds, causing the world to lose its color.
The Soul Beasts in the Lake of Life were immediately frightened by this sword strike in the sky.
"What's going on?"
"Who did this?"
"Could it be that thatched cottage?"
"What exactly is going on there? We went there before, but couldn't get in. Will such a huge commotion affect the master who is healing?"
Ditian was silent for a moment. "As long as it doesn't affect this place, just leave it."
"This is..."
