"Get up."

With the golden-eyed woman's words, a sharp bamboo sword suddenly appeared at Ji Jiayu's neck. Ji Jiayu didn't even know when the sword tip reached his neck. His divine skin didn't tingle, and his mental strength didn't warn him.

Fast, extremely fast.

From this speed alone, Ji Jiayu knew that the golden-eyed woman was far stronger than him, even stronger than a sixth-ranked demon venerable.

She definitely possessed the strength of a seventh-rank or higher.

But this golden-eyed woman clearly looked about the same age as him!

Ji Jiayu couldn't help but gasp. Since he began cultivating, he had gained a deeper understanding of the hardships of cultivation every day, so he clearly understood how terrifying a teenage seventh-ranked powerhouse was. And what was terrifying was that she might not just be a seventh-ranked one!

While his thoughts were racing, Ji Jiayu stood upright.

No matter what the golden-eyed woman's identity and strength were, whether she was a selector or not, or whether she had saved him, the biggest problem he faced now was that his life was threatened by the golden-eyed woman.

Ji Jiayu stood and stared at the golden-eyed woman in front of him.

When the golden-eyed woman saw him awake, she put down the bamboo sword in her right hand and said calmly, "I saved your life. You are my eyes."

"What are you talking about?" Ji Jiayu was full of questions and a little confused.

The golden-eyed woman tilted her head slightly and frowned slightly. "Which sentence or word don't you understand?"

Seeing the golden-eyed woman's eyes as if looking at a fool, Ji Jiayu hurriedly said, "I understand every word, but I don't fully understand them together. You said you saved my life. How did you save me?"

Immediately after, Ji Jiayu said, "But I'm very sure you saved me. I'll thank you first."

"It's simple," said the golden-eyed woman.

Ji Jiayu heard this, waited a moment, and seeing that the golden-eyed woman hadn't followed up, he asked suspiciously, "Then what?"

"Then what?" the golden-eyed woman asked.

"..."

Ji Jiayu was silent for two seconds. "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

Don't blame her. She could save a mortal like him, and the matter definitely involved her secret, Ji Jiayu thought to himself.

"Also, what do you mean by letting me be your eyes?" Ji Jiayu asked.

"I can't see anything." The golden-eyed woman said calmly, "I can only see you."

"..."

Ji Jiayu wondered again. "What do you mean you can't see anything, you can only see me?"

"I'm blind." The golden-eyed woman said, "But I can see you."

"..."

Ji Jiayu stared into the woman's golden eyes and was silent for a moment.

He could see that she wasn't lying, but if she was blind, why could she see? But speaking of which, it was also strange for her to see him through the illusion, wasn't it? Besides, when she saw his golden eyes, she immediately fell into a coma, but now she's fine. Do you have any connection with him?

Ji Jiayu looked at the golden-eyed woman, deep in thought.

Silently, the golden-eyed woman's bamboo sword pressed against Ji Jiayu's neck again, bringing a few drops of cold sweat to his forehead.

"Be my eyes," the golden-eyed woman said.

"You saved my life, and I must repay you, but how long will that take?" Ji Jiayu smiled bitterly.

"I don't know," the golden-eyed woman said.

"Do I have the right to choose?" Ji Jiayu asked.

The golden-eyed woman shook her right hand, and the bamboo sword made a jingling sound.

"Okay..."

After a few seconds of silence, Ji Jiayu spoke again, "I have something I want to ask you. Is that okay?"

"Ask," the golden-eyed woman said.

"Let's start with your name," Ji Jiayu said.

"Nie Lanxi," the golden-eyed woman said.

"Okay, are you a Terran chooser? How did you come to the Holy Shine World?" Ji Jiayu said.

"I'm not, and I don't know." Nie Lanxi's words were concise.

"Are you human? Or a hybrid of the human and light races?" Ji Jiayu asked.

Although the human and light races share similar appearances, there are still some differences, distinguishable by hair color, eye color, figure, temperament, and so on.

"A hybrid of the human and light races," Nie Lanxi said.

"What kind of state are you in?" Ji Jiayu asked.

"I don't know," Nie Lanxi said.

"You don't know this?" Ji Jiayu was surprised.

"Hmm." Nie Lanxi hummed softly.

Ji Jiayu didn't know what to make of the golden-eyed woman who hadn't said anything.

"Forget it, let's think about some practical issues first." Ji Jiayu frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.

"How to destroy the Sacred Shine World..."

"It's simple." Nie Lanxi heard Ji Jiayu's muttering and spoke.

"What?" Ji Jiayu didn't react for a moment.

"Achieve 100% compatibility, take over the Sacred Pearl, and the Sacred Shine World will be destroyed," Nie Lanxi said.

"100% compatibility? So simple?" Ji Jiayu didn't know what to say, and then he asked hesitantly, "What is a Sacred Pearl?"

Not long ago, Song Yuhui had also mentioned this term. Thinking of the name of the Sacred Yao World, Ji Jiayu probably knew that the Sacred Pearl was a treasure that the electors would eventually try to get their hands on, but what exactly was the Sacred Pearl?

"One of the seven divine beads," Nie Lanxi said.

"The seven divine beads?" Ji Jiayu was confused again, touching on a blind spot in his knowledge. However, Nie Lanxi didn't intend to explain further, and Ji Jiayu didn't continue asking.

"You said it's easy to achieve 100% compatibility. What's the simple way?" Ji Jiayu looked at Nie Lanxi and asked.

Nie Lanxi said, "Your compatibility is currently at ninety percent. As long as you pass the final test, you can take possession of the Sacred Jade Pearl."

"Huh?" Ji Jiayu was stunned, and then asked, "How did you know my compatibility?" Also, how do you know what the requirements are for holding the Sacred Jewel?"

Nie Lanxi stopped talking.

"Another secret?" Ji Jiayu hesitated for a moment and asked. Nie Lanxi still didn't speak.

"Okay." Ji Jiayu sighed, "Then what's the final test?"

"Divine punishment," Nie Lanxi said.

"Divine punishment?" Ji Jiayu showed a puzzled expression, but Nie Lanxi had no intention of explaining.

"Okay." Ji Jiayu looked at the expressionless, golden-eyed woman in front of him for a while, and he really couldn't do anything about her.

"Since you know so much, let me ask you, what should we do now?" Ji Jiayu said.

"Get stronger, then go and carry out the divine punishment," Nie Lanxi said.

"Get stronger?"

Ji Jiayu sensed the state of his realm and somewhat recognized Nie Lanxun's words.

He was now only one step away from the Fourth-Rank Ming Venerable realm. Once he reached the Fourth-Rank Ming Venerable realm, his strength would increase greatly. At that time, let's not talk about any divine punishment. If he were to encounter a fifth- and sixth-rank Demon Venerable again, he wouldn't be so helpless as to use elemental explosions to protect the human electors.

"Then let's practice for a while," Ji Jiayu looked at Nie Lanxi and said.

"Hmm," Nie Lanxi replied softly.

Ji Jiayu withdrew his gaze and looked around. His spiritual power radiated, quickly concluding that it was very safe here. He closed his eyes and began meditating.

The appearance of the Holy Light Emblem and the Holy Bone Emblem suddenly appeared before his eyes, but this time they were very different from before. They were much rounder, faintly forming a strange shape. If one looked closely, one would discover that they were shaped like a pair of eyes, one virtual and one real, one golden and one white.

This was a sign that after meditation reached a high level, the symbol began to transition into a divine beacon.

The so-called beacon was the thing most familiar and reliable to a divine cultivator in their cultivation. For Ji Jiayu, what he relied on most now was his pair of eyes, so the divine beacon was the appearance of his eyes. Only when the Divine Beacon was fully formed could a Divine Cultivator place it in the Divine Ocean and begin to absorb Divine Power en masse, completing the penetration of the Divine Bone and the creation of the Divine Circuit.

While Ji Jiayu was meditating, the golden-eyed woman stared at him.

In her field of vision was a piece of gold—not pure gold, but a slightly hazy pale gold. The entire world was like this, except for Ji Jiayu, there were no outlines of any objects.

Ji Jiayu was a normal person in this pale golden world. His clothes, hair, eyes—everything was indistinguishable from how others saw him.

Nie Lanxi didn't know why this was happening. Since childhood, even his parents had never appeared in this pale golden world, except for Ji Jiayu.

Looking at Ji Jiayu, Nie Lanxi thought a lot.

He simply stared at Ji Jiayu like that, unblinking, as if he wanted to imagine all the scenes he hadn't seen in all these years, and then see them fully.

Time passed, the sun set and the moon rose.

The Sacred Light Symbol and Sacred Bone Symbol in Ji Jiayu's meditation had completely transformed into a pair of golden and white eyes. When the sacred beacon formed, Ji Jiayu's spiritual power was released.

However, this time, his spiritual power no longer radiated outwards in a wide area, but like needles, shot up into the sky.

His spiritual power grew stronger, and with this change, the divine power Ji Jiayu felt became increasingly intense and pure.

If you want to advance to the fourth level of the Ming Zun realm, your spiritual power needs to reach the entry level, and even at this stage, the strength of your spiritual power greatly determines your cultivation speed. Due to the peculiarities of the Sacred Clear Sea's energy, the higher the altitude, the more divine power there is. The higher the spiritual power, the faster the spiritual power can be sent to higher altitudes, the faster the absorption of divine power, and the higher the purity of the divine power absorbed.

Gradually, in Ji Jiayu's spiritual world, the divine power gradually became so rich that it formed a light golden ocean.

However, this hadn't reached the limit of Ji Jiayu's spiritual power, so his spiritual power continued to rise, rise, and rise. Finally, it reached its limit and could no longer rise.

At this moment, the pale golden ocean had transformed into pure gold. He began to cast holy light into this pure golden ocean in his meditation.

In the next instant, the entire golden ocean seemed to have encountered a violent storm, churning violently!
