Youyou didn't know if her invincibility skill came with a healing bonus. The celestial maidens were amazed to find that although they had been trapped inside the giant Kun phantom for eight days, after some time to recuperate, most of their injuries had healed, and even their cultivation had stabilized without regressing. Although they hadn't returned to their previous state, the healing process was much faster than if they had been treated with pills.
All the celestial maidens wore expressions of surprise and delight, except for You You…
For eight whole days, she maintained the sword-gripping posture without moving, and her hand had inevitably become numb... numb... numb!
○|￣|_
Eight days later, the giant Kun shadow slowly disappeared, and You You finally relaxed and collapsed to the ground. As expected, her skill was as terrible as ever! In the end, Feng Rong had to carry her out, and it took a long time for her stiff limbs to recover.
Long before the celestial maidens emerged, the disciples from various sects outside had already taken control of the entire Mingxin Sect. Most of the Mingxin Sect's disciples were present, clearly unaware of Qiu Yue's plot beforehand. In fact, many Mingxin Sect disciples had also been trapped within the formation earlier.
Qiu Yue and several elders had vanished without a trace, and even the Heavenly Maiden Qin Yan was nowhere to be found. No one knew when or how they disappeared. The entire Mingxin Sect was now left with only two Nascent Soul elders who could actually take charge.
They seemed to know something beforehand, but no matter how they were interrogated, they didn't reveal any information. Some even tried to commit suicide on the spot.
The various factions were at a loss for what to do.
"Since the celestial maiden has disappeared, do you think that the celestial maiden Qin Yan might also know about it and be involved?" one of the celestial maidens speculated, after all, Qiu Yue's goal was to save Qin Yan.
"Impossible!" Before she could finish speaking, Qin Hong beside her immediately retorted anxiously, "She...she knew her time was coming decades ago and made arrangements in advance. Moreover, she fell into a deep sleep several years ago. How could she have planned all this? This must have been Qiu Yue's doing. Qin Yan...she would never be that kind of person! I know her, you must believe me!"
"Even so..." The celestial maidens were also aware of the relationship between Qin Hong and Qin Yan, so they did not dare to continue speculating. Instead, they pondered Qiu Yue's purpose. "Qiu Yue is so crazy, does he have other schemes? Now that we cannot find his whereabouts, he is always a hidden danger."
“That’s right!” The other celestial maidens nodded in agreement. “The fact that he could attack so many celestial maidens without hesitation shows that he is vicious and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. If he can do this once, it is possible that he will do it again in the future.”
"Yes, now that we are in the open while he is in the shadows, it's probably even more difficult to guard against him!"
The celestial maidens discussed the matter back and forth, but could not come up with a concrete solution. So they could only turn to the person at the head of the table who was rubbing his arm and ask, "Celestial Maiden You, what do you think we should do about this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the celestial maidens in the hall turned around in unison, as if they had been awakened, and all looked at You You.
"Indeed, we were able to turn the tide thanks to You Tiannv; she must have some brilliant ideas!"
"During the competition, no one could see through that formation except for You Tiannu. She must have a way to deal with it, right?"
"Please speak freely, Heavenly Maiden, we will listen to you!"
"This matter concerns the entire Immortal Realm. If it is You Tiannu, our sect will definitely cooperate."
"Me too!"
"And me..."
The celestial maidens all nodded, showing great favor to her and completely following her lead.
You You froze for a moment, glancing at the assembled celestial maidens. She felt as if a great responsibility had been bestowed upon her by heaven. It had to be said that although this trip was dangerous, her ultimate goal of participating in the sect competition to become famous throughout the world had unexpectedly been achieved. However, she hadn't relied on her disciples; she had done it herself, gaining considerable notoriety.
After they return, no one will be unaware of their True Transformation Sect.
But... she didn't know where Qiu Yue had run off to! Watching her was useless, wasn't it?
You You's lips twitched, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Um... there's something else I think I should let everyone know beforehand. Qiu Yue may have done more than just this one bad thing..."
After thinking for a moment, she told everyone in detail about the vengeful spirits on Yuyu Island, the Demon Cave, and that small town.
“I couldn’t understand it before. These three things are clearly connected in some way, but I couldn’t guess what the person behind them was trying to do,” You You said in a deep voice. “But this incident has made me realize that if the person behind this is Qiu Yue, then the reason is very simple: he is conducting experiments step by step!”
"An experiment?!" Everyone was shocked, still reeling from what she had just said.
“That’s right, he’s conducting experiments on how to make Qin Yan immortal,” You You continued. “That town has existed the longest, so it should be the place where the experiments were first conducted.” That’s why there are so many high-level formations in the sacrificial cave, and the Earth-Shaking Cauldron might not have just happened to be there; perhaps Qiu Yue placed it there.
"It's possible that Qiu Yue later discovered that male cultivators' vitality was not as strong as female cultivators', and therefore had no effect on Qin Yan. So, the method of 'replenishing the life force' of female cultivators in the Demon Cave came about. I don't know whether Qiu Yue initially cooperated directly with the Demon Cave. But this method of replenishing life force must have originated from him."
The women of Xianze are of noble birth, and there would be no way they would engage in the practice of female cultivators absorbing male essence. The existence of this demonic cave is illogical. Moreover, Qiu Yue must have made other arrangements, otherwise there wouldn't be so many wronged souls on Yuyu Island.
"With so many people dying unjustly, there are also more vengeful spirits. It's impossible for the various sects not to notice, so he set up that secret realm to imprison those vengeful spirits!" That secret realm was originally separate from the Immortal Marsh. If it hadn't suddenly appeared in the world, no one would have known about it.
"As for why he released that secret realm, I guess there are two possible reasons! First, he may have encountered some problem and is no longer able to control that secret realm; second, he discovered that the woman's life force could not achieve his goal or was insufficient to revive Qin Yan, so he set his sights on the celestial maiden."
Qiu Yue couldn't have attacked the celestial maidens based solely on guesswork. He must have conducted experiments beforehand, concluding that the maidens had the potential for survival. Only then would he have used this Immortal Clan Competition to achieve his goals. In other words, prior to this, other celestial maidens must have already become Qiu Yue's experimental subjects.
You You even suspected that Ling Qi's discovery of those missing celestial maidens was related to Qiu Yue.
The celestial maidens naturally realized this as well, and their faces darkened. Some even couldn't help but curse aloud.
"Qiu Yue... he's absolutely insane!"
"We must find such a wicked person quickly, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will ensue!"
"Since all the celestial maidens are here, why don't we join forces and spread the word to all the immortal disciples in the world, so that we can find this villain as soon as possible?"
"Regardless of whether Qin Yan Tian Nu was involved or not, we must find her as soon as possible."
"Yes, I refuse to believe that with so many immortal sects working together, we still can't find the person."
