Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 921: Chapter 6: Filthy Man, Stay Away from Me

”Welcome to the East Divine Land.” The envoy from the East Divine Land was gentle and refined in appearance, with a peaceful gaze.

At least among these six people, Mu Qingge had a good impression of him.

Not only because he kindly reminded her earlier, but also because after she exhibited her Spirit Root, only he and his companion did not push her out the door.

Just based on this point, Mu Qingge was grateful to him.

She didn’t know what she would do if there was no empty vessel willing to carry her, but she was certain that she would have to put in a lot of effort to enter one of the Divine Lands.

”Thank you.” So, she spoke these three words with genuine sincerity, without a hint of perfunctory.

The envoy from the East Divine Land smiled and said, ”No need to be so polite, it’s my duty. My name is Zhuang Shan, you can call me by my name, or address me as Senior Brother.” After introducing himself, he pointed to his silent companion beside him and said, ”This is my Junior Brother, Feng Xing. He has been unable to speak since he was young, but his mind is nimble.”

’So he is unable to speak, no wonder he’s so silent.’ Hearing Zhuang Shan’s introduction, Mu Qingge suddenly understood.

”Senior Brother Zhuang Shan, Senior Brother Feng Xing.” Mu Qingge nodded slightly and clasped her fists together. She was always like this; if someone showed her respect by an inch, she would return the favor by a yard.

As Zhuang Shan treated her courteously and politely, she naturally would not display an aloof and arrogant demeanor.

”Follow me onto the vessel.” Zhuang Shan nodded slightly, turned and led the way for her.

Feng Xing also gave Mu Qingge a gentle smile, took an object from his chest, and scattered it over the Xinghai, creating an illusionary bridge beneath their feet that extended all the way to the empty vessel leading to the East Divine Land.

”Gentlemen, I will go ahead.” Zhuang Shan clasped his hands and smiled at the four from the West Divine Land and North Divine Land.

Then he turned to Mu Qingge and said, ”Follow me.” With that, he turned to lead the way, and Mu Qingge followed behind him, while Feng Xing walked at the very back.

With each step they took forward, the illusionary bridge shortened, and once they boarded the empty vessel, the bridge disappeared.

”Hmph, Zhuang Shan is always playing the role of the good guy, taking these people to the East Divine Land, isn’t he afraid of being scolded?” One from the West Divine Land sneered.

The envoy from the North Divine Land laughed, ”What is there to be afraid of? He is the chief disciple of the Huan Yue God Emperor of the East Divine Land, who would dare criticize him?”

That tone, it was hard to discern if it was envy or jealousy.

...

After Mu Qingge stepped onto the empty vessel with Zhuang Shan, she realized that the person who ascended before her was actually a woman.

The woman was tall and slender, her features truly gorgeous, but she exuded a layer of coldness, emitting a kind of aloofness that kept others at a thousand miles away.

When she saw Mu Qingge board, she gave her only a faint glance before diverting her gaze and turning her back.

Mu Qingge even felt uncertainly in her heart: ’Did I perceive wrong? I actually felt that she looked at me with a hint of repulsion? I haven’t offended her, have I?’

It’s quite amusing, after all, the two disciples ascending to the East Divine Land’s empty vessel today were both women. However, Mu Qingge had the Illusionary Artifact to disguise herself, so that her true form couldn’t be seen.

Once the three boarded the vessel, it stopped floating in the Xinghai and began to move slowly, gradually leaving the Ascension Platform.

Mu Qingge withdrew her gaze from the distance and looked at Zhuang Shan with curiosity: ”Senior Brother Zhuang Shan, I overheard their conversation just now. They said my Spirit Root was a Wasted Spiritual Root, so why did you accept me? If I guess correctly, the people from the Three Divine Lands guard the Ascension Platform to seek disciples with potential, right?”

”You’re just as smart as Feng Xing described.” Zhuang Shan said with a smile.

Feng Xing?!

Mu Qingge stared in surprise at Feng Xing, who blushed shyly under her gaze, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Seeing Mu Qingge’s confusion, Zhuang Shan explained, ”Although Feng Xing cannot speak, he can communicate by transmitting sound.”

Oh right! There’s also sound transmission!

Mu Qingge chuckled inwardly, silently scolding herself for forgetting.

”Feng Xing is quiet and has a Seven-Curved Linglong Heart. He is often very accurate in judging people. If he says you’re good, then you are indeed good. I believe that not too long from now, those four guys from the West Divine Land and North Divine Land will regret treating you like discarded straw.” Zhuang Shan said to Mu Qingge.

His gentle gaze was always accompanied by a smile, making one feel very warm.

Honestly, Zhuang Shan was not one to appear exceedingly handsome at first glance. However, he was the kind of person with clean features, who became more appealing the more you looked at him, giving off a very warm feeling.

Mu Qingge smiled, realizing that she managed to board the East Divine Land’s vessel all thanks to this quiet Senior Brother Feng Xing.

Mu Qingge clasped her fists with both hands and nodded towards Feng Xing, ”Thank you, Senior Brother Feng Xing.”

Feng Xing blushed shyly, waving his hands repeatedly, while Zhuang Shan laughed and said, ”You indeed ought to thank him properly, otherwise without anyone to accept you, you would only wander in the Xinghai, slowly becoming a walking corpse, eventually becoming a part of the Xinghai.”

How cruel!

Mu Qingge’s clear eyes narrowed slightly, filled with shock.

The consequences of being rejected seem more severe than she imagined.

”Alright, you and that young lady are both people accepted by the East Divine Land today. As a rule, I must talk about the rules before you enter the East Divine Land. Additionally, I will introduce the situation of the Four Seas Divine Land.” Zhuang Shan said.

He turned to look at the young woman, who had been standing quietly in the distance after Mu Qingge boarded the ship, and said to her, ”Miss Xu, please come over here.”

The aloof woman, upon hearing his call, frowned slightly, with a hint of rejection in her eyes but ultimately complied and came over.

Even so, she maintained a certain distance from the other three people.

Zhuang Shan didn’t mind and said to the two, ”You are the people from the Lower Realm who ascended together from the Ascension Well today, which counts as some sort of fate. After entering the Divine Land, you should look after each other.”

Saying this, he introduced them to each other, ”This is Mu Qingge, and this is Xu Leng.”

Xu Leng?

’True to her name.’ Mu Qingge internally criticized. Out of politeness and respect for Zhuang Shan, she nodded slightly to Xu Leng.

However, Xu Leng regarded her with disdain, with coldness mixed with a hint of disgust.

Mu Qingge found it baffling and wondered how she had offended this young lady.

Luckily, she wasn’t one to dwell on such things. Since the person didn’t welcome her, she wouldn’t unnecessarily get close to seek trouble.

”Alright, now that you know each other, I will next talk about the situation of the Four Seas Divine Land.” Zhuang Shan paused before continuing, ”You should know, the world we are in is called the Divine Demon Continent. As the name implies, it is a region jointly governed by the Divine and Demon Clans. I won’t speak of the Taixuan Demon Realm, as neither you nor I can reach it. Just remember, don’t head towards the edge of the Divine Demon Seal out of curiosity and do not associate with the Demon Clan.”

’Don’t associate with the Demon Clan?’ Mu Qingge sighed inwardly. ’She would probably be entangled with the Demon Clan for her whole life.’

Zhuang Shan continued, ”Apart from the Taixuan Demon Realm, there is a subterranean crevice connected to the Divine Clan called the Ancient Insect Abyss, which is the domain of the Insect Clan. You shouldn’t easily venture there unless you’re truly capable. On the Divine Demon Continent, besides the Divine and Demon Clans and the few hidden Insect Clan members, there’s also a region called the Demon Forest, which is the world of the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan has some interaction with the Divine Clan and is considered friendly. If you have the opportunity in the future, you may visit it.”

”The Demon Clan?” Xu Leng spoke for the first time, her voice equally cold.

Her curiosity matched Mu Qingge’s.

Zhuang Shan said, ”The Demon Clan is essentially the Spirit Beast and Divine Beast of the Lower Realm. If you have Contracted Beasts, you should know, once they reach the Divine Beast level, they can transform into human form. The Demon Beasts in the Demon Forest are those that can and cannot transform into human form from the Beast Clan’s domain. It is the homeland of all Beast Clans, even the Dragon and Phoenix clans reside within.”

Mu Qingge’s eyes lit up, and she secretly mused, ’Could Grandpa Hou’s hometown be in the Demon Forest?’

At this moment, Xu Leng said, ”If I have the chance, I’d like to visit and maybe contract a Transformed Spirit Beast.”

Her bold words received only a faint smile of indifference from Zhuang Shan.

Returning to the main topic, he continued, ”The Four Seas Divine Land is called Four Seas because in the region governed by the Divine Clan, there is an endless sea of stars. The Four Seas Divine Land is thus named for being divided among the four directions: east, south, west, and north. At present, we are headed to the East Divine Land.”

Through Zhuang Shan’s narration, a complete map of the Divine Demon Continent gradually formed in Mu Qingge’s mind.

Prior to her arrival, she couldn’t have imagined that the Divine Lands existed amidst a sea of stars, where the sea referred to stars, not water.

”The East Divine Land is vast—as are all Four Seas Divine Land—and any one of them is likely hundreds, thousands of times the size of the Lower Realm you were in before. Within the Divine Land, there are two types of people. One is called the Divine, referring to us—those born with Divine Status capable of cultivation. The other is called mortals, born in the Divine Land but without Divine Status, unable to cultivate and doing mundane work. In the East Divine Land, there are four Divine Emperors, all highly esteemed individuals representing the highest status, power, and strength in our East Divine Land.”

’Divine Emperor!’ The term immediately brought to Mu Qingge’s mind the woman who sealed Si Mo’s memories.

She too was a Divine Emperor, apparently called Phoenix Heaven God Emperor.

However, Mu Qingge forgot to ask which Divine Land that woman was making waves in.

”Okay, you now have a general understanding of the Divine Land, so I will focus on discussing the East Divine Land next. Listen carefully.” Zhuang Shan said seriously.

He continued, ”Entering the East Divine Land, it doesn’t matter where you came from before. You now have the identity of the East Divine Land. If you leave the East Divine Land, you represent the East Divine Land, so pay attention to your words and deeds. The Four Seas Divine Land can only be traversed using air vessels. Of course, if one day you break through to the Saint Realm, you can directly tear through space and teleport to another Divine Land. As I mentioned, there are four Divine Emperors in the East Divine Land, and I and Feng Xing are disciples under the first of the four Divine Emperors, the Huan Yue God Emperor. The other three Divine Emperors are Zhuoyu Divine Emperor, Wei Yi Divine Emperor, and Zhongtian Divine Emperor. Every year, the four Divine Emperors send disciples to the Ascension Platform, and this year happens to be our turn.”

Ah, so that’s it!

Mu Qingge gradually understood.

Zhuang Shan continued, ”After entering the East Divine Land, you won’t immediately come into contact with the external world. We will take you to a place called the Little Heaven Domain—a special place for those who ascend from the Lower Realm. You will cultivate there, transforming your spiritual power into divine power, and stabilize your realm before leaving the Little Heaven Domain. Then, you will take this token and report to the Huan Yue Domain.”

Saying this, he took out two exquisite and small tokens and handed them to Mu Qingge and Xu Leng respectively.

”The realms on the Divine Demon Continent are divided into Spirit Void Realm, Spirit Cave Realm, and Saint Realm, each with nine layers. You will gradually comprehend this. Well, I’ve said most of what I need to say. From now on, the two of you are senior and junior disciples, so you can communicate well and develop a good relationship. Feng Xing and I will go to the cabin first. If you have anything, feel free to find us.” Zhuang Shan finished speaking, turned with Feng Xing, and disappeared from Mu Qingge and Xu Leng’s sight.

The two stood on the deck, left with only awkwardness.

Mu Qingge twitched the corner of her mouth and awkwardly raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose. She knew Zhuang Shan meant well, hoping they’d support each other because everything in the Divine Land was foreign to them.

However, she didn’t believe Xu Leng would appreciate this kind of closeness.

Sure enough, before Mu Qingge could speak, Xu Leng’s face showed a hint of disdain and disgust as she sneered, ”Smelly man, stay away from me.” Then, without turning, she walked into the distance, completely dismissive of Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge stood in place, blinking, and internally mused, ’Am I being rejected?’
