I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

"Go ahead and speak freely."

Jiang Yuebai bolstered her courage and said straightforwardly, "To be honest with you, Immortal Monarch, I hail from the Heavenly Interence Sect of the Earth Spiritual Realm..."

"The Heavenly Interence Sect of Lu Xingyun?"

Jiang Yuebai’s words were interrupted by Immortal Monarch Chongmin, who looked puzzled, "Does the Immortal Monarch know our forefather?"

Immortal Monarch Chongmin shook her head, "I’m not a cultivator of the same era as her. I’ve only heard some tales about her. Please, continue."

Jiang Yuebai looked slightly awkward, "The development of the Heavenly Interence Sect in the Earth Spiritual Realm has reached a bottleneck. We have accumulated tens of thousands of years, and only now do we have the capability to establish a sect in the Upper Realm. Currently, there’s a great opportunity in the Nine Rivers Realm..."

Jiang Yuebai straightforwardly explained the merger of the Yuquan Sect and the Heavenly Interence Sect to Immortal Monarch Chongmin, and mentioned the threats of the Heavenly Star Sect, the Xiong Family, and the Fang Family.

After she finished speaking, Immortal Monarch Chongmin suddenly adopted a serious expression and said, "I know what you want, but forgive me, I cannot grant it. You must know that once a cultivator steps into the Void Refinement Realm, they are shackled by the Heavenly Dao."

"Upon reaching the Mahayana Realm, although they can grasp the power of the Origin Dao, they cannot act recklessly or interfere with the fate of beings in a realm. I cannot pacify the Seven Stars River for the Heavenly Interence Sect. At most, I can set up a Mountain Protection Array for the Heavenly Interence Sect in Yunping Mountain."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuebai was overjoyed inside, thinking that in negotiations, one should always set the price high initially to ultimately land on a deal that satisfies oneself.

She certainly didn’t expect Immortal Monarch Chongmin to directly eliminate the Heavenly Star Sect and Xiong Family, but having a Mahayana Immortal Monarch personally lay a Mountain Protection Array would declare to the entire Nine Rivers Realm that the Heavenly Interence Sect is under the protection of a Mahayana Immortal Monarch.

Whoever dared to come, they’d be dead!

This was more than enough, completely enough!

Immortal Monarch Chongmin observed Jiang Yuebai, seeing through her thoughts but saying nothing, understanding that resolving her concerns would allow her to focus on her cultivation in the Immortal Palace.

Cultivation can be monotonous, and she wondered whether with her youthful vitality and vibrant temperament, Jiang Yuebai could endure long periods of secluded cultivation in one place.

"If you have any other conditions, speak them all at once."

"Yes, yes, Immortal Monarch, have you noticed my dear friend? Her name is Lu Nanzhi. Though she practices the Demon Dao, it was out of necessity. Compared to me, her understanding of the Water Path is deeper. If possible, I’d like to ask the Immortal Monarch to allow her to cultivate in the Immortal Palace with me."

Lu Nanzhi was born with an Innate Water Spirit Body, and before establishing the foundation of her Dao in Divinity Transformation, staying by Immortal Monarch Chongmin’s side would benefit her greatly.

Moreover, because Lu Nanzhi had previously been hunted in the Shaking Light Realm for lacking a backing, Jiang Yuebai felt obliged to find her a protector now that the opportunity arose.

Immortal Monarch Chongmin slightly recalled, remembering the female demon cultivator she’d seen at the entrance of the Divine Palace when she entered. She had taken the Water Spirit of the Xuanming True Water from the gate, with an Innate Water Spirit Body—certainly a good candidate for water cultivation.

Human cultivators of the Demon Dao naturally differ from true Demon Clan members. If Lu Nanzhi could maintain her human mindset without losing it, Immortal Monarch Chongmin, with her water-like nature, could accept it.

Thinking of this, Immortal Monarch Chongmin nodded, "If she wishes, she can join you in the Immortal Palace. However, let it be clear, I’m traditionally strict. If you and she do not meet my requirements, I will show no mercy."

Overjoyed, Jiang Yuebai nodded eagerly, "Rest assured, Immortal Monarch, since childhood, we’ve been the most hardworking disciples in the Heavenly Interence Sect, and we will definitely satisfy you."

"By the way, Immortal Monarch, could you possibly tell me your bottom line, so I can take note..."

Jiang Yuebai looked sincere, her big, clear eyes, unwilling to accidentally cross any lines like Wen Su, only to be obliterated at the whim of Immortal Monarch Chongmin. That was too terrifying.

This request stumped Immortal Monarch Chongmin for a moment. Bottom lines, how to put it... who asks that directly?!

Seeing Immortal Monarch Chongmin’s expression shift, Jiang Yuebai immediately changed the topic, "I have just two more things."

Immortal Monarch Chongmin slightly furrowed her brows; after all that, there were still two more things?

"Well... you know, Immortal Monarch, my strength is relatively weak..."

Immortal Monarch Chongmin raised an eyebrow, weak strength?

If he hadn’t arrived earlier, Wen Su, at the peak of Divinity Transformation, would have been impaled by her Little Nascent Soul’s spear—calling that weak?

"... I absolutely can’t let the matter of obtaining the Kunpeng Eye be leaked. So might I say to the outside world that the Kunpeng Eye was taken by you, Immortal Monarch?"

Immortal Monarch Chongmin faintly agreed, understanding that this was indeed trivial and ensured Jiang Yuebai’s safety.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes glinted with delight. Glancing at the broken Iron Mouth Direct Decision Flag, she twisted the hem of her robe, "And that flag, given to me by Immortal Monarch Fatian as the most precious gift, was... damaged by you. Could you possibly repair it for me?"

Joking aside, her crucial trump card was wasted just like that. It needed replacement before she could move past it!

Mentioning Immortal Monarch Fatian made Chongmin’s brow twitch slightly, recalling some unpleasant matters, her eyes and demeanor reflecting an added degree of pride.

"What good is Fatian’s junk? I’ll give you another life-saving item as a meet-and-greet gift!"

With that, Immortal Monarch Chongmin raised her hand, and streams of water appeared from thin air, converging from all directions into her palm, like silk ribbons.

The origin power of the Great Dao of Water infused into it, transforming that handful of clear springs into a winged Luo Fish.

With a wave of Immortal Monarch Chongmin’s hand, the Luo Fish dove into Jiang Yuebai’s body, entering her Dantian, dancing joyfully around her Nascent Soul, radiating a refreshing, chilly breath. She felt clear-headed, with an enhanced, acute perception of the surrounding moisture.

Immortal Monarch Chongmin said confidently, "This fish contains one-tenth of my power. I can also sense your location through it. If you’re in trouble, I can come to your aid promptly to ensure your safety."

Jiang Yuebai placed a hand on her Dantian, understanding that before a Mahayana Immortal Monarch, there were no secrets she could hide. Surviving was most important; everything else could be endured.

"Alright, the power of the Secret Realm is nearly exhausted. Leave with me, and after the Dragon Group Gathering ends, come to the Immortal Palace."

"Wait!" Jiang Yuebai hastily called out, "I... still have the last two matters."

Immortal Monarch Chongmin’s eye twitched slightly; even more?

Jiang Yuebai chuckled mischievously, "The Heavenly Interence Sect has just settled in this realm, and there are many trivial matters to handle. Additionally, I need to return to the Earth Spiritual Realm to escort disciples from the Earth Spiritual Realm’s Heavenly Interence Sect to this realm for cultivation. I hope the Immortal Monarch grants me some time."

"Furthermore, could you speak to the Star Alliance, allowing me to bring more people to the Nine Rivers Realm? I have quite a few friends in the Earth Spiritual Realm."

"See, I’m leading my family to settle in the Nine Rivers Realm, which will become my home. I’ll surely remain here and always think of the Nine Rivers Realm, and of your kindness, Immortal Monarch."

Chongmin couldn’t help but smile. Jiang Yuebai’s personality indeed differed greatly from Wen Su’s. Future cultivation might be less tedious.

"Alright!"

"Thank you, Immortal Monarch. You are truly the most accommodating and magnanimous Immortal Monarch I’ve ever met. Immortal Monarch Fatian can’t compare to you at all!"

"..."
