The Jingjue Queen's face was still covered by a black veil.
It seemed to be welded to her face; despite what Zhang Tian had said, she still wore it.
Seeing the Jingjue Queen approach, everyone turned their heads to look.
Back then, Shirley Yang had even met the Jingjue Queen, but she hadn't expected the curse to remain unbroken.
Only by obtaining the Muchen Bead was the curse finally lifted.
"Boss, that woman is here," Fatty whispered, nudging Zhang Tian with his elbow.
"You cannot go up the mountain."
The Jingjue Queen's hollow voice echoed.
Her gaze was fixed directly on Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian furrowed his brow slightly.
"Why?"
He asked.
"Your strength is insufficient, and if you rashly ascend the mountain, you will die!"
"She is very dangerous."
The Jingjue Queen spoke, her face turned towards Zhang Tian.
Even though her eyes were covered by the black cloth, Zhang Tian could sense her seriousness.
"Hey, little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say anything. What do you mean 'will die'? You're underestimating my boss too much."
"At most, we'll just lose an arm or a leg."
Seeing the Jingjue Queen immediately speak of death, Fatty was displeased.
Wasn't this clearly cursing their boss?
"What do you know?"
Zhang Tian's gaze fell upon the Jingjue Queen. If she knew something, Zhang Tian would truly need her help.
The Jingjue Queen nodded slightly.
Shirley Yang was surprised. According to the ancient texts of Jingjue City, the Jingjue Queen was an extremely indifferent woman.
Moreover, her demeanor was typically regal.
But why did she seem so normal now?
She even appeared approachable.
Were these all illusions?
Shirley Yang pondered, remaining silent and observing from the side.
The Jingjue Queen then spoke again.
"Her strength had already surpassed the Core Breaking stage in the past; ordinary people are no match for her."
The Jingjue Queen stated.
This was an unprecedented revelation from the Jingjue Queen, something Zhang Tian had never heard her utter before.
It was evident how deeply hidden this secret was.
"Above the Core Breaking stage!"
Zhang Tian was somewhat surprised.
Hu Bayi and the others also looked towards the Jingjue Queen.
In their understanding, the Core Breaking stage was already incredibly powerful.
There was no one stronger than that realm.
Yet, now there was a level above the Core Breaking stage.
"What is above the Core Breaking stage?"
Zhang Tian asked in a deep voice.
He was currently only at the Inner Core stage.
If he were to directly face a powerful entity above the Core Breaking stage, Zhang Tian could imagine his fate.
Death would be the least of his worries; reincarnation would be a fortunate outcome.
No wonder the Jingjue Queen was so serious. If Zhang Tian knew this, he would be equally serious.
It truly was the fearless nature of the ignorant.
Recalling his own reckless actions before, Zhang Tian felt ashamed of himself.
"Ancient God!"
The Jingjue Queen declared.
Ancient God?
This was the first time Zhang Tian had heard this term.
He had always heard talk of "Upper Immortals," but unexpectedly, the realm above that was "Ancient God."
"Is there anything above Ancient God?"
Zhang Tian intended to get all the information in one go.
The Jingjue Queen slowly shook her head.
She clearly didn't know if there was anything else.
"I only know this: she is the only Ancient God in the world."
After the Jingjue Queen finished speaking, Zhang Tian understood the immense danger involved.
The only one in the world; it would be a miracle to defeat her.
Even with Zhang Qilin, no, even with a hundred of them, it wouldn't be enough.
Just the leap from Grandmaster to Heavenly Extremity had increased Zhang Tian's strength by dozens of times.
Let alone the distant Ancient God.
"But we have already entered Kunlun territory. It won't be easy to leave, will it?"
Shirley Yang interjected from the side.
Her clear voice drew the Jingjue Queen's attention.
Upon seeing Shirley Yang, the Jingjue Queen was taken aback.
She remembered the Prophet clan.
If it weren't for the people of this clan, she would likely still be trapped in that snake's eye.
"There is a powerful formation here. It will be very difficult for you to leave."
"However, it's not impossible. If the level of your formation skills is high enough, there's a chance."
The Jingjue Queen looked at Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian found it somewhat strange that the Jingjue Queen was willing to say so much now.
Furthermore, her words seemed more numerous than before. In the past, she would have been like Zhang Qilin, saying only two words at most.
But now, she was speaking in a continuous stream.
This made Zhang Tian inevitably feel some doubt.
"Why are you willing to say so much?"
Zhang Tian looked at the Jingjue Queen curiously.
"If you die here, the Jade Eye will surely be damaged, and in that case, my life will also be in great danger."
"Therefore, I have stepped forward."
The Jingjue Queen explained, but Zhang Tian knew there had to be another reason.
Given the Jingjue Queen's personality, if there were truly danger, the probability of her packing her bags and fleeing would be higher than her stepping forward to face it together.
Therefore, the Jingjue Queen's words were not very convincing to Zhang Tian.
"Then Boss, we're on the same side, aren't we?"
Fatty's eyes lit up. This explanation was clearly convincing to him.
"Do you have a way for us to break through Kunlun Mountain?"
Zhang Tian looked at Zhang Qilin and asked.
If it was for Zhang Qilin, Zhang Tian was still willing to take a risk.
The Jingjue Queen observed the group in silence for a long time.
"If it's you, it's not impossible."
The Jingjue Queen's voice drifted out faintly.
Everyone exchanged glances, some excitement building.
Wu Tianzhen was so excited he almost jumped.
"Fatty, did you hear that? We have a chance to defeat an Ancient God!"
Wu Tianzhen's heart was filled with excitement.
If he were to tell his grandfather, the ancestors of the Wu family would surely be showered with blessings.
"Tianzhen, we can definitely do it."
Wang Banyue also spoke excitedly.
"What method?"
Zhang Tian asked.
Perhaps only the Jingjue Queen could help them now.
Zhang Tian had not expected that among the group, the Jingjue Queen would ultimately play such a crucial role.
Indeed, the Jingjue Queen was the chosen one.
"Use her!"
The Jingjue Queen looked at Shirley Yang.
Shirley Yang appeared bewildered.
Her? Among them, although her cultivation might be slightly higher than Wang Banyue's, she was certainly not as powerful as Zhang Tian and the others.
Did she possess some other hidden attribute?
Shirley Yang looked at the Jingjue Queen in confusion.
"Your Majesty, how can I be of assistance?"
Shirley Yang asked urgently.
"The Prophet clan can predict future events. Their prophecies are not affected by external interference, nor by human influence."
"Even the most powerful individuals cannot interfere with her prophecies."
"Therefore, you only need to predict what will happen in the future, and there might be a chance for success."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that you awaken the bloodline of the Prophet clan within you."
As the Jingjue Queen spoke, Zhang Tian was startled.
He had previously brought Shirley Yang into the team precisely because she was a prophet.
But later, Shirley Yang had not predicted anything, so Zhang Tian had forgotten about it.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Shirley Yang was also a powerful asset.
Indeed, no one in this protagonist group was ordinary!
However, what was this talk of bloodline awakening that the Jingjue Queen mentioned?!
Zhang Tian had never heard of such terms before.
