Two years later, on the solitary peak behind Wanjianmen.
The air in the early morning was a little chilly. Xiang Sheng sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff. When the last trace of purple air in the east disappeared, her curled eyelashes trembled and she suddenly opened her eyes.
At that moment, the swirling white mist around seemed to be torn apart by an invisible sword, opening up a circle of empty space and making the mist much thinner.
Xiang Sheng was about to stand up when his eyebrows twitched slightly and he waved his sleeve to sweep away the strange scene in the empty field.
The moment she swept away the strange vision, Tang Yin came over on a sword and said with a smile, "Sister Sheng, are you ready?"
The sword light in Xiang Sheng's eyes faded, and the moment he turned around, his dark eyes were already stained with a smile, "The luggage has been packed a long time ago."
Tang Yin smiled sweetly, "Then follow me down the mountain now."
Xiang Sheng hummed softly and waved his sleeve to summon a ball of white light. The light circled around his fingertips and transformed into a three-foot-long flying sword, lifting Xiang Sheng's feet and flying high into the sky.
When Tang Yin saw the flying sword, envy flashed in her eyes. She exclaimed, "I've heard from my senior sister that you obtained a mid-grade magical flying sword. Seeing it today, it's truly extraordinary. I never thought a small sect like the Wanjian Sect would have such an opportunity."
Xiang Sheng jumped onto the hilt of the sword at Tang Yin's feet, then sheathed the flying sword. His breathing seemed unsteady, and he exhaled before saying, "It's also good luck, but it's too strenuous for me to use now."
"You are only at the ninth level of Qi training now. Your true essence is weak and naturally cannot sustain the consumption of magic tools."
Tang Yin smiled as she flew on the sword, "When you advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, your dantian and body will be completely transformed. Then you'll be able to barely unleash 10% of the power of this flying sword. Who knows, by then, even I, your sister, won't be your match."
Xiang Sheng smiled sheepishly and changed the subject: "Is Mom okay?"
"It's very good. When the eldest sister returned to the palace last year, the master was overjoyed and immediately asked the old ancestor for elixirs to help the eldest sister recover. He also said that he wanted to come here in person to thank the Grand Master of Wanjian Sect, but was stopped by the eldest sister."
Xiang Sheng's heart, which had just been lifted, suddenly relaxed. "That's good."
Luo Qingyun's master, Master Chang Yan, is a powerful person in the Nascent Soul stage. Now she is often disturbed by the evil spirit of the demon fetus, and there is no guarantee that she will not reveal any flaws.
"What did you say?" Tang Yin seemed to feel that she didn't hear clearly and asked again.
"nothing."
Xiang Sheng changed the subject lightly and talked about other things with Tang Yin.
In the past two years, Xiang Sheng has been practicing on the isolated peak in the back mountain, waiting for the top-grade magic weapon flying sword to be refined.
Although she had never set foot outside of the Wanjian Sect, she was not completely ignorant of the outside world. Jiang Yi and the other three would often record important events in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty on jade slips.
She has eyes on all the movements of the four sects, and she is actually much more informed than the Wanjian Sect.
Shortly after she destroyed the Demon Palace two years ago, the five major sects followed the method she sent to Fengyue Sect and successively sealed the passage to the underworld in the strange land.
Afterwards, the five major sects joined forces to attack the main hall of the Incense Hall!
However, when a large number of people arrived, they only captured some insignificant minor characters from the demon sect, and did not see any high-level officials such as the guardians of the Demon Palace.
It has long been no secret that there are spies within the five major sects.
Less than half a month after the destruction of the Incense Hall, the Thousand Star Hall suddenly killed dozens of people with thundering means, wiping out all the spies who had fallen into the devil's bewitching ways.
The other four sects were not to be outdone, and the bloodbath continued. Taking advantage of the situation, they jointly issued a killing order for the demon cultivators, offering generous rewards. Even some veteran independent cultivators were tempted to join in.
All the elite disciples from the five major sects spread out and formed a "human network" to cover the entire territory, conducting a carpet search for the hiding places of the demon cultivators. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy!
For a time, the entire Dongzhou cultivation world was swept by a frenzy of killing demons!
The Wanjian Sect also participated in the "human network". Every formal disciple, including Xiang Jianjue, went down the mountain to gather information and search for the traces of the demon cultivators in exchange for the reward of the hunting order.
During this entire year, Xiang Jianjue returned to the sect no more than three times. There were few disciples in the sect, and Ying Changfeng was so busy that he simply asked Luo Qingyun to guide Xiang Sheng.
Xiang Sheng was naturally happy about this and asked Luo Qingyun to agree.
A year later, the hunting order ended. Even within the Thousand Star Palace, once known for its rampant demonic cultivators, not a single demonic cultivator could be found.
There was no danger in the Thousand Star Palace anymore, so Luo Qingyun decided to return to the Thousand Star Palace to practice in seclusion, so as to avoid staying by Xiang Sheng's side and being a burden.
After Luo Qingyun left, Ying Changfeng wanted to arrange for the Great Elder to come to Gufeng to teach, but when he saw Xiang Sheng showing the sword realm of the peak of the rough mastery realm, he immediately gave up the idea and chose to let it go, just like when he faced Xiang Jianjue.
Soon after, Xiang Sheng's cultivation officially reached the perfection of foundation building. With one more step, he would be able to break through to the Jindan stage that millions of cultivators dream of.
With her extremely high spiritual root talent, the bottleneck of Jindan was naturally nothing, and she immediately chose to break through.
But just when the breakthrough was halfway through, the demon fetus that had been quiet for a year suddenly rioted, turning the newly formed golden elixir into a blood pill!
She decisively chose to shatter her own golden elixir. With a loud roar, nearly half of her body was destroyed. If it weren't for the recovery of Yuanquan, her path to cultivation would have been cut off.
But Xiang Sheng didn't regret doing this at all.
At that moment, the murderous aura emanating from the blood pill was astonishing. Just by looking at it, she felt hallucinations and evil thoughts everywhere. If she really swallowed it, she couldn't imagine what she would become.
Furthermore, even though her breakthrough had failed, it wasn't entirely without merit. At least her body had been cleansed, becoming impervious to attack, greatly enhancing her defenses. Furthermore, the shattering of her elixir had also taken away much of the demon fetus's hostility. Previously, Jiang Yi had said the Pure Heart Jade Pendant could last three to five years, but now she felt six years wouldn't be a problem.
