Suddenly, the woman who appeared and kicked Yang Jun away emanated the Qi Intent that only Foundation Establishment Cultivators have. Wang Qi could even feel that this woman's strength was beyond both Su Junyu and Xiang Qi.
"Zimiao, you're finally being reliable for once..." Wang Qi felt a weight lifted off his chest and collapsed onto the ground.
Then, the woman turned around to greet him, "Wow! Hi there!"
Huge.
That was Wang Qi's first impression of the woman.
The woman appeared to be around eighteen, with an extremely cute face. However, what caught his eye even more were her breasts, which Wang Qi clearly saw swaying up and down with her turning motion.
"The oppressive force is astounding..."
Wang Qi silently judged.
By this time, Yang Jun had already gotten to his feet. Under the at least Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment aura of the woman, he panicked even more and chose to run away. However, his mind seemed even more confused now, as he ran towards the girl's left side.
"You definitely can't escape now!"
The girl waved her hand lightly. Several vines shot out from the soil and bound Yang Jun tightly.
Sssss! As soon as the vines touched Yang Jun, the high temperature of his body evaporated them, and then they started to self-ignite.
The girl seemed surprised and let out a "Huh," then waved her hand again and threw a flower. After hitting Yang Jun, the flower exploded quickly, and its pollen turned into a barrier that locked Yang Jun's movements. But it wasn't long before Yang Jun broke free again.
Wang Qi couldn't help but remind her, "Yang Jun... This guy must be possessed by an Outer Demon, his body's mana fluctuating wildly, entropy increasing and Spiritual Energy being extinguished, forming a high temperature. Common spells are ineffective."
"Entropy Increase? Entropy has increased to this extent?" The Foundation Establishment cultivator girl was shocked, "This goes against the Heavenly Dao! Even if it's an Evil Demon, it's still broadly defined as a life being, how could it..."
While speaking, the girl unexpectedly stopped paying attention to the fleeing Yang Jun, bit her thumb, and started pondering.
In Shenzhou, the definition of "Life Beings" is much broader than on Earth, encompassing purely Spiritual Energy-formed Spiritual Bodies, Transformation-awakened beings from stones and metals which make up the Demon Clan, and the Fierce Ghost Zombies born from Yin Qi—all of which are broadly considered Life Beings.
Therefore, the definition of Life Beings in Shenzhou is also different from that of Earth.
On Earth, the mainstream definition for life is: a living entity with the ability to survive and reproduce, created through chemical reactions under natural conditions, as well as its living offspring produced through reproduction.
However, in Shenzhou, the mainstream definition of Life Beings is an obscure one on Earth.
Life Beings are a phenomenon of Negative Entropy. According to the second of the Three Daoist Skills of Burning Heaven, Heaven and Earth will transition from order to Chaos; meaning entropy will continuously increase. In contrast, Life Beings absorb the power of Heaven and Earth, reducing their own entropy and thereby becoming more ordered. For example, various metabolic processes are programs of Negative Entropy.
The entropy within Yang Jun's body being this high has already surpassed the scope of Life Beings!
At that moment, Mao Zimiao swooped over from the distance, "Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi! How are you? Are you okay?"
Wang Qi waved his hand, then immediately groaned in pain and couldn't straighten up, "Ow, ow, ow, ow... I almost forgot about the injury on my shoulder."
Mao Zimiao's eyes brimmed with tears, "That's great, I made it in time..."
Mao Zimiao's appearance startled the Foundation Establishment Period girl who had been standing there dumbfounded. She slapped her forehead, "Oh no! I've got to catch that guy first!"
The girl waved her hand, shooting out a green speck of light. As soon as the light touched Yang Jun's body, it transformed into vines made of light, which tightly entwined around him.
"Mana-transfigured tendrils, hehe," the woman rubbed her nose, quite proud as she introduced her spell. "Life beings are inherently a phenomenon of negative entropy, and this Daoist skill of mine is derived from the Life Path, so it perfectly counters that guy."
Yang Jun was bound by the vines, struggling ceaselessly. However, the strength that dissipated from him became the very power for the vines' growth. The harder he struggled, the tighter they coiled around him.
Mao Zimiao glanced at Yang Jun, her face incapable of hiding her shock, "Is that... really Yang Jun?"
Because his flesh had been burnt away and then was further haphazardly sliced up by Wang Qi's Phase Wave, there was little in Yang Jun's body that still belonged to a human. Some sort of gray tissue filled the gaps in his mangled form, clearly not a natural occurrence. At this moment, Yang Jun looked nothing more than a "person" made up of a pile of fleshy tumors.
Wang Qi nodded, confirming it.
Just then, the young woman suddenly ran over, briskly rubbing Wang Qi's face, "Ah! Junior Brother might not know my name yet! I'm Ai Qinglan, Ai Qinglan! You're Xiao Miao's little sweetheart, right, right? Seeing Xiao Miao like this..."
"Senior Sister Ai!" Mao Zimiao retorted, her face flushed with vexation.
"Oh, look, someone's getting shy!"
Suddenly, Wang Qi's expression drastically changed. He violently pushed Ai Qinglan away and turned his head to rush off in the other direction, "Blegh—blegh…"
"Eh?" Ai Qinglan furrowed her delicate brows, a tender, spring onion-like finger resting on her chin, "Junior Brother, do you find your Senior Sister disgusting?"
Wang Qi wanted to explain, but his stomach was chaotically heaving, vomiting uncontrollably.
Ai Qinglan appeared very distressed, "But you get along so well with Xiao Miao... is it really no good without the cat ears?"
Damn, has my reputation as a beast ear aficionado really spread this far...
Unable to speak, Wang Qi could only roll his eyes.
"You're even rolling your eyes... But, Qiqi, um, the girl from Burning Gold Valley, also has a good relationship with you," Ai Qinglan mused, pondering as if looking for a clue while gazing downwards.
Wang Qi tried to gesture to Ai Qinglan using movements. But at that moment, waves of intense pain assaulted his limbs. The pain silently pierced every joint like sharp needles. Wang Qi let out a muffled groan and collapsed onto the ground.
Mao Zimiao immediately panicked, "Senior Sister Ai, no more jokes, Xiao Qi seems to have internal injuries from the fight."
"Okay, okay," Ai Qinglan said with a resigned expression, stretching out a finger to press on Wang Qi's Baihui Acupoint and transmitted a strand of mana into him.
Mao Zimiao asked nervously, "How is it?"
"It's fine, it's fine!" Ai Qinglan reassured her with a smile, "What a great opportunity for creation!"
Mao Zimiao pressed, "What kind of great opportunity?"
Ai Qinglan grinned, "This little guy may have cultivated many mental methods, but just like you, his main study is the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, oh! What happened just now was probably an Entropy Increase, and then he had to use his own Heavenly Entropy Technique to press it down. However, his Mana Flow is still in chaos! But, you know, we who cultivate the Heavenly Calculation Atlas have one advantage!"
Mao Zimiao argued urgently, "But this is clearly Deviation! How can it be..."
"Ding ding ding ding! This is a living example!" Ai Qinglan remained buoyant with her smile, pointing to Wang Qi, "A case of Deviation is a great disaster! But then, a great disaster is also an opportunity for the Heavenly Calculation Atlas to advance, it's a magnificent opportunity for creation!"
