As the eldest disciple, Xie Ji'an was the first to ascend. Looking at the swirling clouds and smoke of the Xunhui Sect, his eyes were filled with reluctance, but when he thought of his junior sister's long-cherished wish, his gaze returned to calm.
Junior sister has done so much for them, it's time for them to reciprocate.
Following them were Song Yanzhuo, Shangguan Fu, Zhuo Ziyu, and Gu Xingchuan.
Then came Yun Huai. He was still worried about Ji Su, so he went to the lower realm to see his only disciple before heading to the upper realm.
At the moment of their ascension, they all had only one thought in their minds: to establish an invincible sect for their junior sister before she ascended.
Thirty years later, as she watched the South Pavilion shine brightly once again, tears welled up in Le Luoxi's eyes.
"Thirty years have passed, and I finally don't have to wait anymore."
She closed her eyes peacefully, and the next moment, she was enveloped in a radiant light. Over the past thirty years, all her fellow disciples had ascended to immortality, but she had not.
She was really worried about her junior sister, but now everything is alright.
Even if they are not together in the upper realm, she will still find her.
July's heart pounded with excitement, her hands trembled—damn it, she had finally ascended!
I wonder how my cheap master and senior brothers and sisters are doing... Never mind, I won't think about it too much. I'll find a way to find them when I get to the Upper Realm.
The world underwent a tremendous change, spiritual energy gathered, and a lightning tribulation suddenly appeared. Qiyue looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox and patted its head: "Little guy, cultivate well. I'll be waiting for you in the Upper Realm."
As soon as she finished speaking, and the lightning tribulation passed, Qiyue was teleported to a certain place.
The narrow passage, the dim lighting, and the surrounding stone walls and earthen blocks suggested it was a cave.
Qi Yue narrowed her eyes, searching her memory for the origin of this cave, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find anything at all. With a slight frown, she was about to walk inside.
Footsteps came from behind, unusually hurried.
She looked back warily and saw a man with sunken cheeks, a sallow complexion, and a thin, bony frame who looked severely malnourished. The man looked at Qiyue with a panicked expression and lowered his voice.
"You're new here, aren't you? Stop dawdling and get moving, or you'll get beaten up again when the Li family comes."
"Beaten up? The Li family?" Qiyue looked confused.
The original work never mentioned this so-called Li family.
The man saw Qiyue's bewildered expression and was also surprised, but he quickly understood. Here, amnesia, madness, or death were all common occurrences, and he was already used to it.
"Sigh." Shaking his head and letting out a long sigh, the man glanced at Qiyue with pity, then bent over and walked forward, something in his hand making a sound as it collided with the rocks in the cave.
Qiyue frowned and looked over, only then noticing that the man was also dragging a pickaxe.
There were some people behind them.
Her intuition told her that something was wrong and she should retreat immediately.
The moment she could summon her spiritual energy, her eyes widened in shock.
"Holy crap! Where the hell did my spiritual power go?!" She clutched her head and couldn't help but scream.
A similarly emaciated man looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and said expressionlessly, "Don't waste your energy. The entire crystal mine has been covered by an array. Here, everyone's spiritual power and meridians are sealed indefinitely. Apart from having a longer lifespan, you don't need to eat and are no different from ordinary people."
"???" Qi Yue's pupils dilated in shock.
So, she was teleported to the black mine???
Holy crap! This can't be fair!?
Who else gets teleported to a black mine immediately after ascension? She's probably the first person to do that...
The joy of ascension was blown away by bad luck, and Qiyue's mood was extremely complicated, mainly because of this damn formation.
How is she going to get out...?
Just then, a shadow fell in front of Qiyue, and a gloomy voice came from above him: "I've never seen you before. Who are you?"
Qi Yue's eyes flashed, and she looked up with an innocent and harmless expression, sensing the spiritual energy on the person in front of her. A calculating glint flashed in her eyes. It seemed that not everyone's spiritual power and meridians were sealed. At least this kid in front of her was not.
Does this prove that this kid possesses a treasure capable of countering this formation?
Li Yang looked at the girl in front of him, a flash of amazement crossing his eyes. But as he looked at her extraordinary temperament, his gaze slowly turned lewd.
He kicked the person dawdling beside him, yelling, "Damn it! Hurry up! If you dawdle any longer, I'll kill you!"
The man was kicked and fell face-first onto the cave floor, hitting his head and bleeding profusely from his face. He didn't dare to utter a sound, but quickly got up and ran forward.
Those behind them, seeing this, flashed resentment and fear across their faces and sped away.
Only Qiyue and Li Yang remained in the same spot.
Seeing that everyone had left, Li Yang's true nature was revealed. He put his hand on Qi Yue's shoulder, and Qi Yue looked at him with a smile. Her hand then casually went to Li Yang's waist, and a talisman and a bomb appeared silently in her hand and were placed on his belt.
Then, he kicked Li Yang's brother hard.
"Aaaaaah!!!" Li Yang suddenly let out a scream, clutching his crotch and collapsing to the ground. The scream echoed throughout the cave, and the people trapped inside couldn't help but shudder at the sound.
The sound of the cave was also heard, but the Li family members outside did not pay any attention to it, after all, there were countless people who were beaten and screamed every day in this crystal mine.
Why would they care?
How could they have imagined that those useless people with sealed spiritual meridians would pose a threat to them?
It wasn't until an explosion rang out that the Li family disciples stopped smiling and headed into the cave.
At the same time, Qiyue looked at Li Yang, who was lying motionless on the ground, and slit his throat with a knife. She then took out a token from his body. The special token was engraved with a strange array. As soon as she touched it, Qiyue felt her spiritual power return. She smiled wickedly and disappeared.
Before long, the Li family members arrived at the spot where Qiyue had been. Seeing Li Yang lying dead on the ground, one of the women among the members broke down in tears.
"Brother!!!"
It was Li Yan. Looking at Li Yang's tragic death, Li Yan's eyes were red from crying, her hands were clenched tightly, and her beautiful face was contorted to the extreme.
"Seal off the crystal mine! Find the person who killed my brother!!!"
"Yes, Miss!" The Li family members dared not hesitate and drew their swords to go forward.
At the same time, Qiyue rushed forward and encountered the two people she had spoken to before. The two people were like puppets, expressionless, repeating the same actions of digging, looking, looking down, and shoveling.
However, the two of them couldn't see Qiyue.
Looking around, everyone else was repeating the same actions as the two of them.
Until they unearthed a spirit crystal.
The woman's angry roar flashed through her mind, and Qiyue looked at the spirit crystals that had been dug out with a greedy expression.
