Just then.
When no one was paying attention to him, Liu Yingjie forcefully crushed a communication talisman.
He immediately spread the word that Bai Ying had five Dao Source Fruits.
Bai Ying didn't kill the other sect members because she placed a restriction on them all before they left, preventing them from talking about what happened that day.
Bai Ying understood better than anyone the saying, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
She had no interest in dealing with the endless stream of people trying to steal the treasure.
She just didn't expect that, since she hadn't placed any restrictions on the people of the Xuantian Sect, they would tell Liu Yingjie and the others about her obtaining the Dao Source Fruit.
The people from Xuantian Sect meant no harm, but they revealed far too much when they boasted about how Bai Ying had hunted down those seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
After all, witnessing a young female cultivator fight seven Nascent Soul cultivators alone is a breathtaking scene that would stir the heart of anyone.
The smug boasting of the Xuantian Sect disciples still lingered in Liu Yingjie's mind:
"You didn't see it, but that White Fairy broke the killing formation set up by those seven Nascent Soul cultivators with a mere wave of her hand, turning it into a killing formation under her control. Those seven Nascent Soul cultivators didn't even have a chance to react..."
"Her dragon scale was truly terrifying; when it was unleashed, the heavens and earth changed color!"
"And that lotus seal, it's said to be able to block all attacks, it's truly too powerful..."
They spoke with great enthusiasm, but as Liu Yingjie listened to their endless chatter, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and he memorized every single word.
"Five Dao Source Fruits... a top-tier magic weapon... and she's young and beautiful..."
These words echoed in his mind, eventually transforming into a sinister smile.
After those people left, he quietly retreated and crushed the communication talisman hidden in his sleeve.
The moment the talisman ignited, a hoarse voice, like the hiss of a venomous snake, echoed in his mind:
"What is it?"
Liu Yingjie lowered his voice, his tone laced with obsequiousness and greed: "Elder Mo, this disciple has discovered a large fish..."
Liu Yingjie's call was to Mo Qianjiu of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
No one knew that he had actually been colluding with the Wan Du Men (a group of people known for their numerous poisons).
He embellished the words of the Xuantian Sect disciple, especially emphasizing Bai Ying's appearance and age, and added at the end:
"Such a top-grade cultivation furnace is probably one of a kind in the entire cultivation world."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication talisman, followed by a chilling "hehehe" laugh, like poisonous insects crawling on bones:
"Very well, very well... I was just worried about leaving empty-handed this time, but I didn't expect someone to take all the benefits!"
Mo Qianjiu's voice suddenly turned cold:
"This little girl is really amazing, but so what? Can she even handle a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage? Her magical artifacts are perfect for my sect's Supreme Elder."
And she... is mine!
Mo Qianjiu smiled. If what Liu Yingjie said was true, he would go and invite the Supreme Elder of their sect, who had been in seclusion for two thousand years.
The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect wants Bai Ying, along with her and her belongings!
—
At the same time, it was as if a spiritual volcano had been detonated within Bai Ying's body, and a violent torrent of energy instantly swept through her limbs and bones.
Her meridians groaned under the strain of the spiritual energy, and every inch of her flesh felt as if it were being roasted over a real fire.
Yet, amidst this excruciating pain, the meridians are being reshaped and expanded at an astonishing speed, much like a dried-up riverbed welcoming a raging flood.
Inside the dantian, the nascent soul, which had been cultivating with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes.
A dazzling light burst forth from those bright eyes, and her petite body was lifted up by a surging wave of spiritual energy. The ribbons of spiritual energy surrounding her danced wildly, forming a miniature spiritual energy storm around the nascent soul.
Even more mysteriously, the Daoist essence contained within the Dao Source Fruit transformed into specks of golden light, flowing like fireflies in Bai Ying's sea of consciousness, creating a wondrous resonance with her divine sense.
"Hmm..."
Bai Ying let out a muffled groan, and a lustrous jade-like light gradually shone around her. At first, the light was as hazy as a thin veil, but then it grew stronger and stronger, eventually condensing into a cocoon of light around her. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred feet was drawn in, transforming into a visible vortex of spiritual energy that converged towards her, forming layers upon layers of spiritual energy tides outside the cocoon of light.
Her aura was undergoing a qualitative change every moment. The originally restrained spiritual energy fluctuations began to carry a mysterious rhythm, as if they had formed a subtle connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. The figure in the cocoon of light appeared and disappeared, and a golden Dao pattern could be vaguely seen slowly taking shape between her brows.
Golden light emanated from beneath Bai Ying's fair skin. Her nascent soul trembled violently within her dantian, and her originally youthful face gradually revealed some of the original's divine essence. Even more strangely, wisps of Daoist energy overflowed from between the nascent soul's brows, creating a profound resonance with her mutated sea of consciousness.
"Click."
She felt as if shackles were breaking within her. Bai Ying's hand seals shifted, her body radiating a surge of spiritual light, her long black hair moving without wind. Spiritual energy from within a hundred miles surged forth, forming a massive vortex above her head. The vegetation in the valley withered at a visible rate, all life force forcibly drained away.
"Not enough..."
She suddenly opened her eyes and took out two more Dao Source Fruits, swallowing them simultaneously. This time, fine beads of blood seeped from every pore of her body, but were instantly vaporized into a blood-red mist. The nascent soul suddenly opened its eyes and simultaneously formed a hand seal with her main body.
"break!"
With a clear shout, the world suddenly changed color. A dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky, stirring up the clouds. At this moment, Bai Ying's sea of consciousness underwent a qualitative change, her divine sense spreading outwards like a tide, taking control of every movement within a hundred miles.
As the last trace of spiritual energy subsided, she slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Her eyes, opening and closing, seemed to conjure images of stars fading and disappearing. Every gesture she made was in harmony with the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Nascent Soul stage achieved!
Bai Ying felt excited as she experienced the power of her Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
She was even more excited than when she first broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in her previous life.
After all, in this life, the superior cultivation method she practiced greatly increased her cultivation level by countless times, and now she can finally feel the sensation of the Nascent Soul stage again.
She closed her eyes and looked inward, a knowing smile appearing on her lips. The power flowing through this body was many times stronger than that of her previous life.
"finally......"
She stood up. The dark cave at the entrance to the ruins still exuded a suffocating pressure, but at this moment, it was no longer an insurmountable barrier in her eyes.
Just as she was about to take a step, a chilling laugh suddenly came from behind her.
Hehehehe...
The laughter, like poisonous insects gnawing at bones, was particularly jarring in the silent valley. Bai Ying paused slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
