Chapter 276 Attracting Butterflies
Feng Zhiyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately told the matter and mentioned the Qintian Secret Realm again.
Sure enough, everyone fell into deep thought. How could they catch the butterfly without losing the Qintian Secret Realm?
It seems...it's not unacceptable.
Xi Lingyi, Mo Huaizun and other leaders looked at each other and immediately agreed.
Guli rarely appears in such occasions. He usually crawls in the dark and hides. Su Yueyan is alone among the saints.
The evil sect agreed to this with the other Mahayana cultivators present.
Some people were unwilling to see the number of Star Butterflies they received decrease, and they felt resentful, but they were suppressed and had no way to stop it.
……
After this, after a while, the Fallen Star Butterfly finally appeared as everyone expected.
A silver butterfly of light was born from under the Chaos Cliff, and then flew out in a mighty force. The gentle and peaceful aura of resurrection spread throughout this world, and even the restless and raging flying sand hurricane suddenly subsided.
The night sky next door to the chaos became clear.
Everyone was overjoyed and left the barrier or formation.
They release their spiritual power to attract butterflies.
For a moment, the sky and the ground were all filled with colorful spiritual light beams, extremely powerful, and each one was like a peacock spreading its tail, madly seducing the falling star butterflies.
This was the first time anyone had participated in this kind of activity, and no one had much experience. They only knew that according to legend, the stronger the spiritual power, the more peaceful and kind a person is, and the more butterflies there would be.
The star butterflies in the sky suddenly became like mice entering a rice warehouse. They stopped their movement to burrow into the ground, and flew around in the sky at a loss for a while. Finally, they flew hesitantly towards the person who attracted them.
It didn't matter that they went there, as everyone soon discovered that there was a huge gap in the number of star butterflies attracted by each person.
Except for those in the fusion stage, most of them gathered around the chief true disciples, with at least five hundred of them. Gu Fusheng, Ping Lanxue, Xie Chao and Yu Zhiqing attracted more, more than eight hundred, because their spiritual power was more fresh and gentle.
The disciples below decrease in order according to their cultivation level, but their distribution is similar at the same level.
The evil side was extremely pitiful. Due to the evil aura they had, they were not very popular with butterflies. No butterflies came to them at all. Only more than 400 butterflies inexplicably surrounded the three saint ladies.
This is not possible!
Some people tried to catch it eagerly, but ended up scaring the star butterfly away.
In anger, the sword energy burst out, and then he was surprised to find dozens of butterflies flying towards him happily.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and tentatively released their sword illusions. Sure enough, the star butterflies in the sky that had originally had difficulty choosing all flew over without hesitation.
What is there not to understand about this!
If you don’t have enough spiritual power, try your realm!
In an instant, various weapon realms burst out one after another.
The fallen star butterfly quickly found its home.
After stabilization, there were no more star butterflies in the sky.
Looking again, looking at both the good and evil paths, the majority are the true disciples and the holy sons and daughters.
Moreover, the ones with the most people were actually the Second Saint Son and Gu Fusheng!
They are equally matched, more than two thousand, because they are at the highest level.
The Second Holy Son is the same as Gu Fusheng.
Someone was shocked and said, "Xi Lingyi was only at the high level of the magic realm last time in Nixiao City, but now he has become a powerful figure! His realm and momentum are almost the same as Yi Chi who was once so powerful!"
"It seems that I gained a huge benefit in the Tianque Trial!"
Silver butterflies of light gathered around the two of them in layers, extremely beautiful and dazzling, and extremely glorious.
The people who were miserably in the control group looked at the kittens around them with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
but--
"By the way, what's going on with Yi Chi?"
Everyone looked over and then: "???"
Just one, lying on her finger.
……
Yi Chi did not release any spiritual power or realm at all. She just sat there calmly, supporting her chin with her hand and looking at the uninvited Fallen Star Butterfly on her right index finger.
No one understood her intention.
It is obviously nonsense to say that she is weak and cannot attract spirit butterflies. Based on her original sword power, even if she is a clone, the number of butterflies she can attract must be comparable to Gu Fusheng and Ershengzi.
Everyone is trying their best to attract butterflies, but she is the only one who is different and does nothing?
Gu Fusheng actually noticed something strange about Yi Chi from the beginning, because among the peers present, except for the Second Saint Son opposite her, she only regarded her as an opponent.
The fact that her Yan Mingdeng was ruthlessly crushed by Qi Ye Chonghua during the disciple-taking assessment has always been an indelible memory in her heart.
Is she as calm as a chrysanthemum? She has no desires? She doesn't care?
No, she was willing to be overshadowed by Xiao Buyi's reputation in the past only because she knew that she was no weaker than him, so she did not value those false reputations.
But Yi Chi's appearance made her see her opponent.
She tasted defeat.
Winning it back, winning it back fairly and openly, is her obsession.
However, in this battle of the Fallen Star Butterfly, when she was giving it her all, the person she cared about didn't make a move at all. Is this something to be happy about?
She only felt the anger of being despised.
Gu Fusheng's usually calm eyes were tinged with anger. She stared at Yi Chi and asked coldly, "Why don't you attract butterflies?"
The Second Saint frowned and smiled wickedly: "Could it be that because you are just a clone now, you are afraid of falling from the altar after losing, so you just give up?"
Yi Chi glanced at him when he heard that. It was a look that looked at a moron. "Don't you use your brain when you speak?"
Who would give up huge benefits just because of fear of losing?
The Second Saint's face darkened. Of course he knew that he was just simply mocking her, so what?
"Then why don't you attract butterflies?"
Everyone looked at him in confusion and wonder. The Jueya disciples around Yi Chi were surrounded by star butterflies, especially Yu Zhiqing, who was almost catching up with Gu Fusheng, but she was so indifferent?
Various speculations flashed through their minds, such as some injuries on the body, or being controlled by Yinming Xiezun, but they didn't expect -
"Because there is no need." Yi Chi looked at these people chasing her relentlessly and explained nonchalantly.
What she lacks now is only the realm of cultivation. This body is a congenital spiritual body. Her spiritual sea and soul body have already reached their limits, and will also be steadily expanded and improved with her cultivation.
Star Butterfly cannot increase her ceiling.
Because she herself is the upper limit.
What's the point of using it? To improve that little bit of cultivation?
There is no need for that, let’s just return to the land.
As Yi Chi spoke, he shook off the star butterfly on his fingertips.
The star butterflies circled around, reluctant to leave, but Yi Chi did not reach out again.
The interaction between one person and one stack is completely different from other people's efforts to attract star butterflies, which are still hesitant and unstable and often fly away.
Or even the complete opposite.
Everyone was stunned by Yi Chi's words. No need? Was she kidding?
They all sneered, thinking that Yi Chi was really arrogant to no end. After all, he was young and was probably blinded by the glory. He stopped striving for progress and became complacent.
Just pretend, who can pretend better than her?
When others are making progress, she is degenerating. Isn't this just waiting for others to surpass her and then beat her? For example, Gu Fusheng, the current number one in the righteous path, has already caught up with her in realm.
After today, Gu Fusheng and the others who have absorbed the Star Butterfly will definitely be better than before, and Yi Chi probably has no idea where he ended up.
Everyone speculated and laughed in their hearts, but no one said anything. It was just as good that she didn't attract butterflies, as it reduced the chance of a strong opponent taking part in the spoils.
Disappointment flashed across Gu Fusheng's eyes. He turned his eyes away from her and stopped looking at her. His nerves, which had been as if facing a great enemy, relaxed.
Such a frivolous and arrogant character is no different from Xiao Buyi. After today, Yi Chi is just her defeated general and is not worth her attention.
Some people also glanced at the indifferent Mo Huaizun and other masters of Yi Chi. No way, they don’t even educate or persuade them. You seem to be doting on them, but you are actually trying to flatter them?
Chu Yi and a few others who knew the situation thought that Yi Chi really didn't need these.
But she is the only one who can give up without any regrets.
Only Song Yueqing, Yi Yuan, Fang Chihong and other Jueya disciples anxiously explained to Yi Chi the great role of the star butterfly and asked her to attract the butterfly quickly.
In fact, if Yi Chi really listened to the advice, the people around her would be the first to suffer a significant decrease in the number of Star Butterflies.
Everyone admired the sect's friendship. They were a little afraid that Yi Chi would agree, but they found that the latter shook his head and refused decisively.
Completely relieved.
Everyone stopped paying attention to her, their greedy eyes were fixed on the star butterflies beside them, and someone was about to absorb them.
But Feng Zhiyi spoke up, "We agreed to return half of the Fallen Star Butterflies to Chaos Gobi. Now is the time."
Everyone: "..."
It's harsh, really harsh.
Can I not pay it back? Can I pay it back tomorrow? Can I let someone else pay it back?
It's one thing to agree to something in advance, but asking them to give up half of the thing before they even get it warm in their hands, isn't that a crime to kill them?
Taking away someone’s opportunity is like killing their parents!
Their eyes flickered obscurely, full of reluctance.
Especially those cultivators who have few star butterflies around them.
There was an eerie silence, and no one moved.
Finally, some of the smaller sects below said bitterly, "Sword Immortal, it's not that we want to shirk our responsibilities, but it's just that our aptitude is not good, and each of us has less than 50 swords."
"We have come all the way here just for this great opportunity to improve our qualifications and change our fate. Now that half of our talent is gone, isn't that fatal?"
"Besides this Psylocke that anyone can attract, what other treasures will be available to us in the future?"
"In the past, Jialan City also lived in poverty with no one paying attention to it and no one helping it. I believe that the Sword Immortal will understand our predicament."
They spoke bitterly with tears and snot. Being from the lower class of a sect or the lower class of cultivators like independent cultivators with scarce resources, they spoke the sad truth, which resonated with those around them.
Feng Zhiyi really understood that feeling. His expression paused slightly and he fell silent for a moment.
But another group of people are not happy about this, such as large sects or high-level monks.
What does that mean? Are you putting all the responsibility for contribution on them?
I can't stand it any longer.
"Hey, you are weak so you are right? With just those few star butterflies, even if half of them are gone, we still don't have as much as a fraction of them. I really don't know what's the point of holding on to them."
"It's a waste to give it to you guys. It's better to return it to benefit Gobi. At least everyone can remember the secret realm and can enter and exit normally thanks to you!"
The two parties with huge disparities in status started arguing, and neither was willing to give up. This also wavered those who originally wanted to keep their promises, because what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.
In the end, only a small number of people and sects agreed, including medium, small, and large sects.
Although some sects felt pained, they still said: "Having so much is already a huge gain. Our sect is not far from the chaotic Gobi Desert. If the Gobi Desert is safe, we don't need to move the sect site."
“Oh, although I’m reluctant, I still need to leave a way out for myself. Killing them all is not the purpose of our sect. Isn’t there still half left? Haha, my heart still hurts!”
……
Naturally, all the eight major forces agreed. After all, they were the ones who agreed to it in the first place. Moreover, compared to the Fallen Star Butterfly, the Qintian Secret Realm was actually more promising for their outstanding disciples.
It's a very simple truth. The worse the aptitude, the more room there is for improvement. Disciples of a sect like theirs grew up surrounded by resources.
Once they agree, a large number of Fallen Star Butterflies can be divided immediately. The number is astonishing. Together with the evil cultivators, it will be enough for half.
The forces below are secretly delighted. Wouldn't it be possible for them to evade responsibility this way?
but……
Obviously, there is no such good thing, because the evil cultivator directly tore up the agreement.
They sneered evilly: "Once things are in our hands, there is no reason to give them back, hahahaha!"
"You righteous people want to stop the chaos in the desert from getting worse, so do it yourself. We won't accompany you."
They just took advantage of the fact that the righteous path always wanted to "save" people. They just deliberately agreed to Feng Zhiyi's request, and then went back on their word after getting the benefits.
Not only did it gather a large number of Star Butterflies and force the righteous to make concessions, but it also managed to preserve the secret realm in the end. It was like killing three birds with one stone!
The righteous side immediately reacted and said angrily: "You actually went back on your word! Don't forget that you all swore the Heavenly Dao Oath when you were in the Mahayana stage!"
"It's so funny! You're talking about the Heavenly Oath with the evil cultivator? We've had so many things that deserve to be struck by lightning, but now we're all still living in peace. Only you righteous people are afraid of this!"
"How stupid! Oh, the Zhiyi Sword Immortal isn't that smart either. He's so easy to fool, hahahaha."
Everyone gritted their teeth in anger. Damn it! Who could have thought that the evil Mahayana cultivator would go back on his word in front of so many people? He even ignored the Heavenly Dao Oath!
It turns out that the evil cultivators are a bunch of trash with no credibility or bottom line!
The disciples of the Demonic Sect smiled without surprise: They said they had thought of this a long time ago, does anyone believe them?
Unfortunately, none of the big guys said anything, and Moon on the Rising Moon didn’t say anything either. They had no right to speak under his cold aura.
People like the sect leader are obviously wise and intelligent, and he must have his own plans!
