"You're excellent," said the Nine Nether Emperor after laughing.
Feng Yuqin replied expressionlessly, "I'm aware of that."
The Nine Nether Emperor: "..."
Mo Xuanye let out a soft chuckle.
By now, he had already understood what was going on.
Nonetheless, he still stood beside Feng Yuqin in a protective stance, on guard against any potential mischief from the Nine Nether Emperor.
"I reincarnated because I was bored after reaching the pinnacle of life," the Nine Nether Emperor said slowly. "So I don't need these things. You can take them, including this Universal Formation."
"Thank you," Feng Yuqin said, though there was little change in her expression.
After all, while these treasures were excellent, they weren't something she desperately needed.
The Nine Nether Emperor was annoyed by her reaction.
In his tens of thousands of years of life, he had never encountered such an infuriating girl.
He asked, "Don't you want the manual for setting up the Universal Formation?"
Feng Yuqin thought for a moment. "Can I have it?"
After all, Mo Xuanye had told her about the madness in the Nine Heavens.
Moreover, the Nine Nether Emperor hadn't even mentioned the manual.
Not only that, but he hadn't even given them the Universal Formation.
"Do you think I'm stingy? I didn't leave the Universal Formation for the people in the Nine Heavens but came to this small place in the Divine Realm. Do you think it's because I didn't want to give up the Universal Formation?" the Nine Nether Emperor said crossly.
"Isn't it?" Feng Yuqin blurted out involuntarily, which almost made the Nine Nether Emperor faint with anger.
"No," the Nine Nether Emperor snorted. "When I was there, the Nine Heavens were corrupt. Why should I leave it to them so that they could use my Universal Formation to scheme against more people?"
"Oh," Feng Yuqin said, finally understanding.
The Nine Nether Emperor: "..."
Was this girl's head made of wood?
"Aren't you afraid that I'll scheme against others if you give this to me?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"You won't," the Nine Nether Emperor said firmly. "Your eyes are clear..."
Then, his gaze fell on Mo Xuanye. "And you, sir... you're a cold-blooded man, but you're lucky to have met her. So she can keep you in check."
Feng Yuqin: "..."
Mo Xuanye curled his thin lips slightly and took the opportunity to say, "So Qin'er, you should keep a closer eye on me."
Feng Yuqin rolled her eyes. "You're with me every day. How else can I keep an eye on you?"
"Come on, I've been a bachelor for thousands of years. Don't show your affection in front of me. Otherwise, I might get jealous and not give you the Universal Formation," the Nine Nether Emperor said in a disgusted tone.
Feng Yuqin: "..."
The Nine Nether Emperor pointed at the black jade stone. "You two, inject a bit of your spiritual power into it."
Feng Yuqin and Mo Xuanye exchanged a look and did as he said.
The Nine Nether Emperor's soul body rushed into it the next moment.
"Girl, follow me. I'll teach you once. My soul body won't last long, so you only have one chance," the Nine Nether Emperor said.
Even without the Nine Nether Emperor's reminder, Feng Yuqin and the others could tell that the Nine Nether Emperor's soul body had been gradually fading since the beginning.
At first, they could clearly see the patterns on his robe.
Now, they could hardly make out the totems.
His facial features were also slowly blurring.
So they didn't dare to be careless.
While learning, Mo Xuanye also remained vigilant in case the Nine Nether Emperor made any moves.
Thankfully, the Nine Nether Emperor didn't do anything out of the ordinary in the end.
He simply thought that Feng Yuqin wasn't a villain.
Moreover, she had good talent.
So he taught her his skills and even passed on some of his inheritances to Feng Yuqin.
It was only when the Nine Nether Emperor dissipated that Feng Yuqin felt that this trip had been truly worthwhile.
"I'm not quite sure about a few parts of the space technique. Do you understand it?" Feng Yuqin looked at Mo Xuanye and asked.
She knew that Mo Xuanye had a deeper understanding of space formations than she did.
So when she was learning, she had a hard time keeping up.
"I understand. You can ask me if you don't understand anything later," Mo Xuanye said with a smile.
"Okay," Feng Yuqin nodded. "Let's get out of here quickly. We don't know what's going on outside."
"Master, the demonic beasts outside have disappeared," Xiao Ying's voice sounded.
"Disappeared? What do you mean?" Feng Yuqin asked. "Has the demonic beast tide receded?"
"I'm not sure," Xiao Ying could only sense that there were no more demonic beasts outside.
Before, she could sense a large number of them.
But now, there were none.
Mo Xuanye's eyes flashed when he heard this.
"Let's go out and take a look," Feng Yuqin said and went out with Mo Xuanye.
Since they had been accidentally separated before, this time, Mo Xuanye held Feng Yuqin tightly.
Feng Yuqin knew why he was acting like this.
Mo Xuanye summoned his giant dragon and took Feng Yuqin on its back.
The giant dragon was much faster than Xiao Ying.
In a short time, they had circled around the nearby mountain peaks.
"Indeed, the demonic beast tide is gone," Feng Yuqin said in surprise. "Wasn't it said that it would take a few more days to recede? Why did it recede so quickly this time?"
"If I'm not wrong, it's related to the Nine Nether Emperor," Mo Xuanye had suspected this before.
Now, he was almost certain.
"You mean that the demonic beast tide occurred because the Nine Nether Emperor finally appeared in this Ghost Mountain?" Feng Yuqin thought about the previous situation and gradually understood.
The formation of this Ghost Mountain was probably because there was a powerful Nine Nether Emperor here.
Now, because of their accidental intrusion, almost all of the Nine Nether Emperor's things had fallen into their hands.
"Yes. There probably won't be any more demonic beast tides in the future," Mo Xuanye said.
"If there's no more demonic beast tide, there probably won't be as many treasures here as before, right?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"Yes," Mo Xuanye said. "A few of your tasks were in this Ghost Mountain. But now that the demonic beast tide is gone, you can send Zhao Yuanyuan and the others. We just need to finish the remaining ones."
"Okay," Feng Yuqin had the same plan.
She quickly contacted Zhao Yuanyuan and the others and told them about the situation in the Ghost Mountain.
With their current strength, they would have no problem dealing with those tasks.
Separating to act would also be more efficient.
...
One month later.
They met outside the Ghost Mountain.
Feng Yuqin had advanced two levels in this month.
Her strength had reached the sixth level of the Small Perfection stage.
Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian had each advanced one small level.
One was at the fourth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm, and the other was at the third level.
In the academy, they were already among the most powerful students.
No one would dare to look down on them in the future.
Their situation would be completely different from when they were in the Fantasy Sky Academy.
"Aqin, we've completed our tasks," Dong Yaxian said as soon as she saw Feng Yuqin appear and immediately reported on her tasks.
