Chapter 81 The Battle for Treasures, Yao Girl Obtains the Treasure
The purple light was extremely fast. Dai Yao barely dodged it, but it still grazed her sleeve, and a burning sensation came over her.
"Hiss—you're serious!" Dai Yao rubbed the scorched corner of her clothes. This little elf looks cute, but she's really ruthless!
The place where the celestial treasure was protected was enshrined by a powerful spiritual barrier that emitted a dazzling light, like a giant light shield that enveloped the treasure.
As soon as Dai Yao got close, she was bounced back by a powerful force, her body feeling as if she had been struck by lightning, and she was in unbearable pain.
"Wow, this restriction is too strong!" Dai Yao couldn't help but complain, rubbing her aching chest, only to find that the other cultivators were also thrown back by the restriction, all covered in dust and looking disheveled.
Good heavens, it seems this treasure isn't so easy to obtain.
Dai Yao was not one to give up easily. She endured the pain and carefully observed the restriction, trying to find a flaw in it.
This restriction appears complex, but it actually contains hidden patterns, just like... just like a complex math problem!
Dai Yao's eyes lit up; solving problems was her forte!
Back in the day, she got a perfect score in the college entrance exam math!
"Hmph, you little brat, watch how I break your defenses!" Dai Yao smiled confidently and began to circulate her spiritual power. Her hands formed hand seals, and mysterious runes danced at her fingertips like musical notes.
She skillfully used her magic, like threading a needle, to bypass the attack range of the restriction and became the first to approach the treasure!
Seeing this, the other cultivators became enraged and launched attacks on her.
"Trying to steal my treasure? No way!" Dai Yao sneered, easily deflecting their attacks by using the surrounding environment and the various bizarre items she had obtained during the trials.
One moment he throws out a fog bomb, leaving everyone dizzy and disoriented; the next he pulls out an "invincible golden bell shield" to block the attack; he even pulls out a "screaming chicken"... The ear-piercing squawking of the chicken stunned all the cultivators present, and even their attacks paused for a second.
Dai Yao seized the opportunity and grabbed the treasure. It felt warm to the touch and was full of spiritual energy. It was obviously a good thing!
Seeing this, the other cultivators became even more envious and launched even more ferocious attacks.
Dai Yao remained completely calm. She put the treasure into her pocket, and then... she took out a talisman.
"Bye-bye!" Dai Yao tossed the talisman into the air, and it instantly transformed into a golden light, enveloping her.
With a flash of golden light, Dai Yao's figure disappeared, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Where is he?!" Ling Feng rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
A faint voice echoed in the air: "Trying to capture me? You'd better cultivate for a few hundred more years!" Suddenly, the space rippled, and a petite figure appeared before them…
A flash of purple light appeared, and instead of Dai Yao, a palm-sized, entirely purple elf appeared. It had fluffy ears and a tail, and a pair of big, bright eyes that darted around, looking quite mischievous.
"Want to take my treasure? You'll have to get past me first!" The clear, childlike voice carried an undeniable authority; it was none other than the guardian spirit of the celestial treasure—Zi You.
With a wave of her hand, Zi You sent countless purple orbs raining down on Dai Yao.
Dai Yao quickly dodged, complaining, "Damn, this little guy looks cute, but he's ruthless!" Zi You was extremely fast, her figure changing unpredictably, sometimes turning into a butterfly, sometimes into a flower, and sometimes into a miniature tiger. Her attack methods were also endless, making it impossible to defend against.
While dodging Zi You's attacks, Dai Yao observed its movements.
She discovered that although Zi You's attacks seemed chaotic, they actually had a certain rhythm, like a strange piece of music.
"That's interesting!" Dai Yao smiled. She loved tackling these kinds of patterned puzzles!
Back in the day, she was the queen of square dancing!
Dai Yao began to dance in rhythm with Zi You's attacks. Her movements were light and agile, like a butterfly in flight, and she perfectly dodged all of Zi You's attacks.
The surrounding cultivators were stunned. This was not dodging an attack at all; it was clearly a spectacular dance performance!
"This woman's got something!" the movie star thought to himself, narrowing his eyes.
He didn't want Dai Yao to keep the treasure for herself, so he joined forces with Xinghua and others to launch another attack.
Dai Yao was surrounded and attacked, but she did not panic.
She first feigned weakness, pretending to be outmatched, to lure them closer.
"Oh dear, I'm so scared~" Dai Yao said in a coquettish voice, deliberately making a frightened expression, which made the surrounding cultivators feel a chill.
Just as the movie stars and others approached, Dai Yao suddenly erupted!
The talismans in her hand flew out like a shower of flowers, explosions rose and fell, and the powerful shockwaves sent the movie stars and others flying, leaving them covered in dust and looking disheveled.
They never expected that Dai Yao had been hiding her true strength; her skill in pretending to be weak while actually being strong was simply superb!
"Is that all? You dare to try and steal my treasure?" Dai Yao clapped her hands, looking disdainful.
She reached for the treasure, only to find Zi You staring at her with wide, wary eyes.
"Little one, don't worry, I won't hurt you." Dai Yao smiled at Zi You and reached out to pat its little head.
However, at that moment, Ling Feng suddenly shouted, "Yao Yao, watch out!" He rushed towards Dai Yao...
Ling Feng shouted "Yao Yao, be careful!" and charged over with the force of a tiger descending a mountain. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that Dai Yao was in dire straits.
Dai Yao thought to herself: "Brother, do I look like I really need your help to save me?"
Ling Feng's sudden action not only failed to help, but also disrupted Dai Yao's rhythm.
She had already figured out Zi You's attack pattern and was preparing to seize the opportunity to take the treasure, but Ling Feng's interference caused Zi You to lose her temper again!
The purple orbs of light exploded like popcorn, instantly engulfing Dai Yao and Ling Feng in the purple light.
While dodging, Dai Yao complained, "Ling Feng, are you here to help or to cause trouble? I finally figured out the pattern!" Ling Feng looked embarrassed and scratched his head, "Hehe, Yao Yao, I was just worried about you..."
Dai Yao rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention, and focused on dealing with Zi You.
Although this little thing looks cute, its strength should not be underestimated, especially when it is provoked, its attack power doubles.
Dai Yao had to use all her skills to barely withstand its attack.
Just then, Dai Yao keenly sensed a fluctuation in luck. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly. The opportunity had arrived!
Taking advantage of the moment when Zi You took a breath, she flashed and appeared in front of the treasure like a ghost.
Zi You was shocked and tried to stop it, but it was too late.
Dai Yao grabbed the treasure, and a powerful force instantly surged into her body.
The treasure emitted a dazzling light, enveloping Dai Yao, making her appear like a celestial maiden descended to earth, breathtakingly beautiful.
The surrounding cultivators were stunned, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Xinghua and Yingxing, in particular, were filled with regret. If they had known Dai Yao was so powerful, they shouldn't have gone against her.
In the distance, a mysterious figure watched all this, a relieved smile on his lips: "Yao'er, you really didn't disappoint me..." Dai Yao seemed to feel his gaze, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and the corners of her mouth also turned up slightly.
As the light faded, Dai Yao reappeared before everyone, holding in her hand the celestial treasure radiating a faint purple light.
Dai Yao weighed the treasure in her hand, her tone casual and relaxed: "Done! Job done!" She turned to Ling Feng, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Thanks, but don't be so enthusiastic next time." Ling Feng shuddered under her gaze and weakly replied, "...You're welcome." Dai Yao turned to leave, but suddenly stopped. She looked up into the distance and whispered, "I'll be back soon..." Holding the celestial treasure, Dai Yao hummed a little tune as she flew on her sword, looking incredibly dashing.
She could almost see herself returning to the Demon Palace, leveling up, defeating monsters, and reaching the pinnacle of life.
"My goodness, this treasure is so heavy!" Dai Yao weighed the object in her hand and complained, "I wonder what it's made of; it's even heavier than my Dragon Slayer Sword!"
Upon returning to the Demon Palace, Dai Yao immediately went to find her best friend, Miao Wan.
"Wanwan! Look! I got a treasure!" Dai Yao presented the magical artifact to Miao Wan like a precious gift.
Miao Wan carefully examined the treasure that emitted a faint purple light, exclaiming in amazement, "Yao Yao, you are truly amazing! This is the legendary Purple Cloud Spirit Jade!"
"Purple Cloud Spirit Jade? Is it very powerful?" Dai Yao looked completely bewildered; she really didn't know much about these treasures from the world of immortals and heroes.
Miao Wan explained, "The Purple Cloud Spirit Jade contains extremely powerful spiritual energy, which can help cultivators quickly improve their cultivation level, and can even..." Miao Wan suddenly lowered her voice, "...and can even change a person's physique, granting them special abilities!"
Dai Yao's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Change your physique? Special abilities? For example?"
"For example..." Miao Wan smiled mysteriously, "For example, it could give you the ability to foresee the future!"
Dai Yao gasped. Could she foresee the future?
This is too outrageous!
Just as she was getting excited, suddenly, the Purple Cloud Jade shone brightly, and a powerful force enveloped Dai Yao and Miao Wan.
When the light faded, Dai Yao discovered that she and Miao Wan had switched bodies!
Looking at her own petite figure and then at Miao Wan's tall and voluptuous body, Dai Yao was on the verge of tears: "Wanwan, we've... gone too far!"
Miao Wan was also completely bewildered: "Yao Yao, what do we do now?"
Just then, a majestic voice suddenly rang out from the Demon Palace: "Who is using the Purple Cloud Spirit Jade?"
Dai Yao and Miao Wan exchanged a glance, secretly realizing that the voice belonged to the Demon Lord!
Now we are in big trouble!
Dai Yao (inside Miao Wan's body) forced a smile and said, "Demon Lord, it's me..."
The Demon Lord slowly appeared at the entrance of the hall. His eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw through the deception: "Miao Wan? Your aura... is wrong!" He approached step by step, his tone icy, "Speak! What exactly happened?"
Dai Yao (inside Miao Wan's body) was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She glanced at Miao Wan (inside Dai Yao's body) beside her, took a deep breath, and said, "Demon Lord, please let me explain..."
"An explanation?" The Demon Lord sneered. "I'd like to see what you have to say!" He suddenly attacked, a powerful pressure locking onto Dai Yao. "The power of the Purple Cloud Jade is not something you can control! Speak! What exactly do you want!"
Dai Yao felt like a rabbit being watched by a giant python, unable to move.
Just at this critical moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Demon Lord, wait!"
