I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

The so-called Kunpeng Eye is not the eye of a Kunpeng, but rather, similar to a Demon Core Essence or a Buddhist Relic, it is something accumulated from the innate power of a Kunpeng, nurtured within its body.

Before Jiang Yuebai could inspect the Kunpeng Eye in her hand, the azure pearl transformed into a stream of water, rushing into her dantian, and merged with her Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, the Five Elements Lotus Platform.

The water stream enveloped the Five Elements Lotus Platform, slowly seeping into it, quickly repairing tiny cracks on it. The originally glass-like texture became increasingly translucent.

The lotus platform shimmered with waves, like a lotus flower made of spring water, unstained by any dust.

Simultaneously, dramatic changes occurred within the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven.

The vast void became a deep sea, the deep sea rose into vapor, and the vapor formed into clouds.

The boundless expanse of mist and waves, the green sea and blue sky, with numerous lotus-shaped islands scattered like stars, vibrant and full of life, made the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven resemble a small world more than before.

A massive shadow slowly sank into the deep sea, and the fragments of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, originally floating in the void of the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, trembled, gradually transforming into cyan smoke, merging with the Cave Heaven.

The entire lotus platform suddenly seemed to come ’alive’, autonomously absorbing the spiritual energy within and outside the Cave Heaven, drawing in the Yin and Yang Qi of the heavens and earth, and converting it into Chaos Qi.

The Chaos Qi carried the coolness of water and dispersed from the lotus platform, flowing along her spine into her body, nourishing her entire being, including her Divine Soul.

The entire process was slow, yet continuous.

In other words, even if she didn’t cultivate or ’consume’ anything, the lotus platform fused with the Kunpeng Eye would independently absorb the nature’s spiritual energy and Yin-Yang Qi, converting it into Chaos Qi to aid her cultivation.

The process was just a bit slow, and ’consuming’ something would surely speed up the conversion.

The changes brought by the Kunpeng Eye were not limited to this, but Jiang Yuebai didn’t have the time to fully comprehend them for now.

She withdrew her divine thought from the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, stood up, and asked, "How long have I been inside?"

"About half a day," Lu Nanzhi replied solemnly.

Jiang Yuebai looked at the empty sacrificial platform, realizing that the Time Power surrounding it had dissipated, only then noticing that the stone sacrificial platform was engraved with Ancient Demon Text, Cloud Seal Characters, Demon Text, and Witch Rune on its four sides.

Above the platform was the Yin Yang Double Fish, with the original two Kunpeng Eyes corresponding to the fish’s eyes.

"Anan, help dismantle this sacrificial platform, I want to take it with me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Nanzhi immediately acted, slashing toward the bottom of the sacrificial platform, which was instantly severed without its protection, and Jiang Yuebai enveloped it with her divine sense and drew it into the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven.

"Little Bai, those people outside, none of them can be left alive."

Lu Nanzhi looked at Jiang Yuebai and said seriously.

Jiang Yuebai’s expression grew solemn. She knew well that having taken the Kunpeng Eye, it would definitely arouse greed. Once the news leaked, trouble would be endless. Even the Heavenly Interence Sect might not be able to protect her forever.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, the Divinity Transformation Uncles and Refining Void Great Powers within the Heavenly Interence Sect, who weren’t familiar with her, might also want to ’borrow’ the Kunpeng Eye.

After all, with the precedent of the Immortal Monarch Chongmin, many would be willing to take risks following the same Water Path, just to attain Mahayana.

"Well, I have my plans."

The two exchanged glances, ready to face the people outside.

Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi advanced to the edge of the Great Array, their figures emerging from the dense mist.

Upon seeing them, the four cultivators waiting outside immediately stood up, their eyes filled with inquiry directed at Jiang Yuebai.

"Daoist friend, have you obtained the Kunpeng Eye?" the young Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Xiong Family, Xiong Tianlai, impatiently inquired.

Within the Inner Hall, undercurrents surged; a hint of murderous intent was hidden in everyone’s eyes, and the two from the Heavenly Star Sect surreptitiously grasped their Storage Magic Treasures, ready to act at any moment.

Jiang Yuebai pondered for a moment. To say they wouldn’t snatch the treasure earlier meant that nothing was yet decided, but now, it seemed that none of them could hold back any longer.

"I have obtained it, but I’m not sure if it’s genuinely the Kunpeng Eye. Why don’t you take a look for me?"

Saying this, she retrieved some items from her sleeve and suddenly hurled them at the group.

Everyone looked up, and below the pitch-black dome of the Inner Hall were numerous half-black, half-white spheres with lightning streaks, dense and numbering in the hundreds.

Everyone: !!!

They hadn’t even attacked Jiang Yuebai, yet she had struck first?!!

Shen Mingjing was astounded, never expecting a righteous Dao cultivator like Jiang Yuebai to be so decisive and ruthless, quite resembling a demon cultivator.

Boom boom boom!

Hundreds of Yin Yang Thunder Pearls exploded, the black and white lightning surging like a tide, engulfing every corner of the Inner Hall.

Jian Palace Thunder and Water Thunder continuously collided—most Five Elements Magical Techniques of Nascent Soul cultivators were unaffected, but their ability to resist Yin Yang Power was very limited.

With one move, Jiang Yuebai unleashed a deadly strike.

Yet, such a powerful wave of Yin Yang Thunder failed to cause any damage to the walls surrounding the Inner Hall, as the glazed walls transformed into water-like streams, swirling and absorbing the black and white thunder tide.

As the thunder tide gradually dissipated, the scars on the glazed walls slowly returned to their original state.

Within the Inner Hall, before Shen Mingjing, the Qilin Scales were covered in cracks, large pieces falling off, his brow furrowed with lingering fear.

The two cultivators from the Xiong Family were half-kneeling back to back on the ground, their bodies entwined in black and white electric threads, groaning painfully with blood at the corners of their lips, surrounded by fragments of several Magic Treasures.

If not for their combined effort, they might have met their end.

Compared to them, the pair from the Heavenly Star Sect had fared worse. The Mid-Stage Nascent Soul male cultivator, though outwardly formidable, was inwardly weak; he lay on the ground, his body burnt and motionless.

The other Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, a middle-aged male with a mustache, was also half-kneeling, surrounded by four streams of radiating talisman light, three of which had shattered, with only one holding back the remaining thunder aura.

"Everyone, let’s join forces and eliminate these two!"

The shout came from Cui Sheng of the Heavenly Star Sect, and ghostly white flames surged violently from his body, transforming into several venomous snakes that swiftly slithered towards Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi.

Seeing this, Lu Nanzhi unsheathed her long sword, slashing through the air, and more than a dozen piercing sword auras, akin to ice pillars, suddenly gathered, breaking through the air with a strange whistle.

Bang bang bang!

Frigid ice and blazing fire collided and exploded wildly, evenly matched.

Shen Mingjing silently retreated, his hand hidden behind him, pressed against the wall, doing something unknown.

The two from the Xiong Family exchanged glances, also gritting their teeth as they rose from the ground, joining the fray.

With Jiang Yuebai having made up her mind to leave no witnesses, it was an all-or-nothing confrontation where no one would be spared.

A great battle was on the brink of eruption!

The Candle Dragon Spear flew out from behind Jiang Yuebai, caught in her hand; she split a portion of her divine sense to keep an eye on Shen Mingjing, attempting to draw the three into an array for the kill, as directly wielding her domain consumed too much energy.

However, the three cunningly didn’t fall into the trap, remaining at a distance and unleashing a myriad of lethal moves.

Lu Nanzhi, surrounded by surging water mist, wielded a sword imbued with arcs of lightning, overpowering the Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator Cui Sheng from the Heavenly Star Sect.

Jiang Yuebai’s Candle Dragon Spear traced an arc of gun shadows, fiercely clashing with the fierce tiger illusion conjured by the two Xiong Family cultivators.

Within the hall, fierce winds swept by, sparks flying everywhere.

Just then, three men burst out from the walls of the Inner Hall. Witnessing the intense battle within, Moh Baichun, at the forefront, unabashedly shouted.

"The traitors of the Xiong Family and Heavenly Star Sect dare to bully members of the Zhuge Family!"

With those words, Moh Baichun glanced at Zhuge Ziqian beside him, and simultaneously, they controlled the humanoid armors behind them to combine, forming a gigantic armor, standing three zhang tall, wielding a heavy sword.

The armor sprinted with thunderous strides, swinging its colossal sword like a mighty pillar toward the heavens, aiming to cleave mountains and rivers!

Following behind, Zhuge Ziyin was equally unrelenting, his brows tightly knit, as two threads of divine thought coiled into divine sense silk, aggressively storming into Xiong Wanjun’s body.

The attack Xiong Wanjun had gathered with all his strength faltered in mid-air, and the fierce tiger illusion above Jiang Yuebai’s head dissipated.

Jiang Yuebai’s gaze sharpened, her spear thrust forward.

Puff!

The immobilized Xiong Wanjun’s dantian, along with his Nascent Soul, was pierced through with one swift strike, dying on the spot.
