Chapter 386 I Established a Sect in the Cultivation World (15)
Zhao Sizhe and Cheng Gan exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Jue instantly filled the floor of the council hall with all sorts of things.
There were more than a dozen storage bags and storage rings that shimmered with different lights, as well as dozens of magical treasures that shimmered with spiritual light and had different shapes.
"These are all the belongings of those Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators."
Zhou Jue pointed at the pile of things and looked at Zhao Sizhe and the head of the weapon-refining hall.
"The General Affairs Hall is responsible for inventorying and classifying materials. Useful cultivation techniques and classic texts are sorted out, spirit stones are put into storage, and the remaining materials are handed over to the Weapon Refining Hall."
She paused, then added, "You can disassemble and study their magical artifacts to see the crafting philosophy of this world, taking the essence and discarding the dross."
"Yes!" The head of the weapon refining hall was practically glued to the pile of magical treasures, rubbing his hands together as if he had seen a feast.
After making these arrangements, Zhou Jue's expression became serious.
She looked at Cheng Gan and Zhao Sizhe: "You both witnessed Jing Bai's tribulation this time."
Cheng Gan nodded, still looking somewhat frightened: "The commotion was indeed too great. If it weren't for the sect leader, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"The laws of heaven and earth in this world are more complete and stricter than those in our world," Zhou Jue said slowly. "The power of the heavenly tribulation is also far beyond imagination."
“I set up a ‘Nine Revolutions Lightning-Attracting Array’ on the highest solitary peak, three hundred miles east of the sect.”
Her gaze swept over everyone present.
"This formation can draw upon the divine lightning of the Nine Heavens to temper the physical body. Once activated, the formation can withstand the attacks of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it will not hinder the descent of the tribulation lightning."
"From now on, if anyone in the sect breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage and triggers a heavenly tribulation, they must go to that mountain peak."
"Remember, you must not undergo tribulation within the sect."
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, engraving the command in their hearts.
After explaining these things, Zhou Jue stood up and prepared to leave.
"The sect has just been established, and everything needs to be rebuilt. The rest is up to you."
She looked around at every face in the hall and saw determination and longing in their eyes.
"I need to go out again to find more resources for the sect and also to explore the true nature of this world."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"I hope that when I come back next time, I will see all of you have reached the Golden Core stage."
"Jing Bai should stay in the sect to consolidate his cultivation and guard the sect."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
"roar!"
A low growl, filled with grievance and dissatisfaction, came from behind her.
Zhou Jue turned around and saw that Jing Bai, which had been so majestic just moments before, was now using its huge head to nudge her back repeatedly, making "woo-woo" sounds in its throat.
The message conveyed was filled with anxiety.
"Master, I want to go too!"
"I want to follow my master too!"
Zhou Jue sighed and reached out to pat its fluffy head.
"You need to consolidate your cultivation, and besides, you're too much of a target if you follow me."
She explained, "With your size, you're too conspicuous wherever you go, it's inconvenient."
Jingbai stopped what it was doing, tilted its big head, and seemed to be thinking about its master's words.
Just when Zhou Jue thought it had given up, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth from Jingbai's enormous body.
"Um?"
The bright light caused everyone in the hall to instinctively close their eyes.
The light came quickly and went quickly.
When everyone opened their eyes again, they were all stunned.
The imposing eighth-tier white tiger that had been standing there disappeared, replaced by a girl standing next to Zhou Jue.
She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a simple white robe, with long silver hair that reached her waist, and two fluffy, slightly trembling white animal ears standing up in her hair.
Her eyes were pure gold vertical pupils, her skin was fair, and her features were delicate, yet she carried a kind of innocence and wildness that had not yet faded, belonging to a wild beast.
The girl moved her hands and feet uncomfortably, then shook her head, causing her animal ears to twitch as well.
She raised her head, looked at Zhou Jue with her golden vertical pupils, and asked in a clear voice, though with a hint of awkwardness.
"Master, how about this?"
"..."
The entire council hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Zhao Sizhe's glasses slipped down to the bridge of his nose, and he forgot to adjust them.
Cheng Gan unconsciously tightened his grip on the sword hilt.
Li Ming and several other alchemists gaped wide, as if they could fit an egg inside.
Transform!
An eighth-tier demon has taken human form!
For many of them, this was the first time they had ever witnessed a scene they had only heard of in legends.
The girl-like Jingbai seemed oblivious to everyone's stunned expressions. She curiously examined her hands, then scratched her head, her tone revealing a hint of animalistic frankness and self-righteousness.
"You can take human form at the eighth rank."
She muttered, "But I still think the original form is more imposing and easier to fight, so I didn't change it just now."
She took two steps, stumbled, and frowned her beautiful brows.
"Walking like a human is really awkward."
Seeing her like this, Zhou Jue finally stopped refusing.
It's definitely much more convenient to have a silver-haired girl who looks like she's at the Nascent Soul stage with you than to have a flamboyant eighth-tier white tiger with you.
She nodded: "Let's go together then, but remember to keep your ears covered."
Jing's platinum eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly withdrew her ears. She happily circled around Zhou Jue, and the hem of her robe seemed to have an invisible tail swaying merrily behind her.
Zhou Jue took one last look at Zhao Sizhe and Cheng Gan.
"I'm entrusting the sect to you."
The two of them came to their senses and immediately bowed in greeting.
"Farewell to the sect master!"
Zhou Jue said no more. With Jing Bai in human form, the two of them vanished from the main hall in a flash, silently leaving the range of the mountain-protecting formation.
...
At the summit of the mountains, clouds and mist swirl around.
Zhou Jue stopped and looked at Jing Bai, who was still curiously examining his body.
"Alright, Jingbai."
She asked, "As a native beast, can you give me some advice on where to go next?"
Upon hearing the term "local beast," Jing Bai immediately puffed out his chest, abandoned his curious child-like demeanor, and revealed a hint of smugness on his face, pondering for a moment.
"Owner!"
Her eyes lit up, and she gave a sly smile as she moved closer to Zhou Jue.
"I heard something very interesting in the memories of the cultivators I absorbed before!"
"oh?"
"Three months later, in a celestial city called 'City in the Clouds,' a once-in-a-century 'Tongtian Treasure Gathering' will be held."
Jingbai counted on her fingers, doing the calculations somewhat clumsily.
"It is said that the Treasure Gathering will not only feature various rare and precious materials and pills, but even... old monsters at the Nascent Soul stage will appear!"
"Most importantly, the rumored final treasure is a Dao artifact!"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Zhou Jue, her golden eyes sparkling with excitement.
"I've calculated the time. If we set off now, it will take about a month to arrive, just in time for the Bao Fair to open!"
