Chapter 678 The Brain-Dead Cultivation World (8)
"So, did you suffer a loss?" Qi Sinian asked with a gossipy look in his eyes.
"We almost suffered a loss." Xie Junchen's expression was not good.
"What's wrong? Did she try to extort money from you or put you in danger?"
"Both are true!"
"Tell me more," Jin Wanbao said cheekily.
"There's nothing I can't say. It's just that a few days ago I received a message from Wangyou, so I rushed over here. On the way, I heard someone shouting for help, so I went to take a look. When I got there, I found out that it was Gale Eagle chasing Sheng Lian'er and her group."
"Gale Eagle, an adult Gale Eagle's combat power is comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Are you alright?!"
"No, the reason why the Gale Eagle got angry was because Sheng Lian'er threw her eggs into someone else's eggs. That's why it caught those people. But the culprit got away scot-free, while many ordinary disciples were injured. I thought we were all from the same sect, so I couldn't just ignore it and took action."
"and then?"
"Then, of course, I couldn't beat them, so I grabbed Sheng Lian'er and forcibly took the Gale Eagle's egg from her storage bag. The Gale Eagle went even crazier when it saw the egg, so I negotiated with it, saying I would return the egg to it and ask it to let us go."
Unexpectedly, the Gale Eagle kept its promise, but those disciples from Misty Peak were unhappy and started grumbling, so I beat them all up.
"Well done."
"The problem is that I had already finished beating her and was about to leave when Sheng Lian'er rushed over crying, saying that if anyone had a problem, they should come at her, that she didn't do it on purpose, and that I forcibly opened her storage bag and damaged her spiritual sense. She said that as long as I gave her some treasures, she would not hold it against me."
"Holy crap, that's disgusting." Jin Wanbao looked at Xie Junchen with a face full of sympathy.
"That's right, I was so angry that I ran away as fast as I could, afraid that she would try to extort me. Luckily, I recorded everything with a recording device. I just hope they won't try to frame me when I get out!"
"Master Hua, well done! Come on, let's make a few more recordings so that the evidence won't be destroyed." Jin Wanbao was always eager to stir up trouble.
"Keep several copies of the evidence. We'll have the Peak Master of Misty Peak settle your compensation later. After all, you saved the life of a disciple of Misty Peak, so it's only right that you ask for more compensation." Wangyou smiled and made several copies as well.
"That makes sense. It's such a loss. I should have taken everything from her storage bag back then. Although it's not worth much money, a spirit stone is still a spirit stone!" Xie Junchen said with some regret.
"It's okay, we'll extort a big one when we get back."
I slept without any dreams.
The next day, Wangyou stared at the vortex that enveloped the Sword Tomb, feeling that there was something else inside, but she didn't know what it was.
There are even more people here today; it's estimated that most of the cultivators still alive in the secret realm have arrived here.
Wangyou also saw people from the Wanfo Sect. Thinking back to when she was two years old, she couldn't help but smile.
Sheng Lian'er arrived with several people from Misty Peak, but they looked rather disheveled. In comparison, Sheng Lian'er appeared much neater, and most importantly, she had a little chick perched on her shoulder.
"Senior sister, the little chick on Sheng Lian'er's shoulder is actually a phoenix! Those guys on Misty Peak are telling everyone they meet. She's really lucky," Jin Wanbao said with a hint of envy.
"You want one too?"
"Senior sister, what are you talking about? That's a phoenix, a legendary divine beast. Who wouldn't want one?"
"It's just a plucked phoenix, what's there to envy?"
"Even if you don't like me, you can't say that about Zhizhi. Zhizhi will just get upset." An annoying voice came from behind.
"It's just a monstrous phoenix. I'm giving you the honor of calling it a phoenix, but to put it bluntly, it's just a monstrous bird with a trace of phoenix blood. A true divine beast would never form a contract with a human, even if it means self-destruction," Wangyou said, looking at Sheng Lian'er and emphasizing each word.
"Grandmaster, I know you don't like me, but she's innocent. This is too much of a blow to her young heart." Sheng Lian'er sobbed, looking at the disciples of Taiyi Sect with pitiful eyes.
The disciples of Taiyi Sect all took a step back in unison. What bad luck!
"Sheng Lian'er, guess why you're still alive?" Wangyou said with a smile. Putting everything else aside, at least that scraggly phoenix named Zhizhi fell to the ground and didn't dare to get up for a long time.
As they spoke, Xie Junchen, Zhang Qianchen, and the others each drew their weapons, glaring at Sheng Lian'er with unfriendly expressions. For a moment, the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"The Sword Tomb has opened!"
That cry saved the people of the Taiyi Sect.
"Grandmaster, the Sword Tomb is open! Let's go in quickly!"
"Let's wait. The Sword Tomb hasn't been fully opened yet. Going up now would be tantamount to suicide." Wangyou stopped looking at Sheng Lian'er and her group.
Sure enough, those who rushed forward in a hurry were instantly reduced to ashes.
After someone died, no one dared to go up easily anymore. Everyone was waiting to see who would be tempted to go and clear the way for everyone.
"A secret realm within a secret realm, it seems we've stumbled upon a great opportunity. Let's see if everyone's luck is tough enough," Wangyou said after observing for a while.
"There's nothing here, just a cloud of white mist. Senior sister, how did you know?" Qi Sinian stood on tiptoe and looked for a long time, but there was nothing there.
"Didn't I say that I was born with divine eyes?"
"I've never said that before; this is the first time I've heard this."
"It's not too late to know now. Let's start cultivating. It will take at least three more days to fully unlock its potential." After saying that, Wangyou went into the tent first.
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Taiyi Sect who believed in Wangyou were now allowed to return to their respective rest areas, while those who did not believe remained to wait.
However, there weren't many people; just those few idiots from Misty Peak insisted on proving that Wangyou was wrong.
People from other sects, seeing the Taiyi Sect's reaction, were curious and sent people to ask. After Wangyou nodded, they were told the reason.
Although the people who came were skeptical, whether they believed it or not was their business. They had done everything they could and had a clear conscience.
Wangyou's cultivation could no longer be suppressed, so she circulated it for one cycle and was about to break through. However, she felt that even if she broke through now, she wouldn't be thrown out of the secret realm, so she simply broke through peacefully.
She was relieved, but a vortex of spiritual energy gathered above her tent, causing the spiritual energy of the entire camp to rise. Some disciples even cultivated on the spot. Such rich spiritual energy was a rare sight.
Wangyou's breakthrough was undeniable; she smoothly and steadily condensed her golden core without any leakage of spiritual energy.
It took Wangyou three days to break through. During these three days, the cultivation levels of the people in the Taiyi Sect camp all advanced to some extent, and the cultivation levels of other sects who were trying to gain spiritual energy also increased. So it can be said that everyone has made a gain.
As for those who gained nothing, only those fools from Misty Peak remained.
"Senior Sister, shall we go in now?" The Sword Tomb has already been opened, and people from other sects have already gone in.
