Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Vest
During this time, Yun Miao used his disciple token to send a message to the sect, requesting support. The moment the distress signal was confirmed to have been sent, the three, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Miao came to her senses and was stunned again. She grew up in an orphanage and had long been accustomed to solving problems on her own instead of bothering others.
This was the first time she had ever been so certain that if she asked for help, there would be a response. They would come, they would definitely come.
At that moment, many figures flashed through Yun Miao's mind. However, before she could think about this problem carefully, the ground beneath their feet began to shake, making waves of broken wails.
The three of them were startled and stopped to look at Luohua Town behind them. The shaking there was even bigger and more violent. Since they had not run far, they could clearly hear the panicked screams coming from Luohua Town.
The branches emerged from deep underground and grew wildly in the open space behind Luohua Town. Under the sunlight, they quickly grew into a towering tree a hundred meters high!
Although this hundred-meter-tall pagoda tree is insignificant compared to the original thousand-meter-tall pagoda tree, it is still a terrifying behemoth for the residents of Luohua Town.
Yun Miao was startled. He first looked at the dead tree without any leaves, then looked up at the sky.
Did Futu regret it? That's impossible. He had clearly sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao. If he regretted it, the thunder from heaven should have struck him.
Xinyi looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar tree and unconsciously floated in that direction.
Huo Xin gritted his teeth and struggled for a moment: "I'll go over and take a look."
"Boss..."
Tan Xiaobai subconsciously wanted to ask Yun Miao on his back.
Yun Miao jumped down from behind him. This simple action alone made her internal injuries worse, but she just wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth without any care and ran towards Luohua Town.
"Let's follow!"
"Boss, wait for me, you're already so badly injured, why don't you take the pills?"
Tan Xiaobai hurriedly chased after him and stuffed a pill into Yun Miao's mouth.
The medicine turned into a cool stream that quickly penetrated into Yun Miao's internal organs, filling up her blood and blue bars.
She immediately realized that this was the sixth-grade Dead Tree Resurrection Pill that she had used to save Tan Xiaobai's life.
Yun Miao frowned and handed over his Dead Tree Spring Pill to Tan Xiaobai to eat.
Tan Xiaobai raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat and blood from his face. He grimaced in pain and waved his hands, "I'm fine. I can hold on for a while. Just take some rejuvenation pills."
Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of lightning under his feet, and he instantly surpassed Yun Miao and ran a long distance away.
A strong wind blew, and the petals fell like drizzle.
The shaking of the earth had stopped at some point, and Yun Miao looked up belatedly, only to see that the originally bare pagoda tree had blossomed. Clusters of pure white pagoda flowers bent the branches, sparkling with golden light in the sunlight.
The story of the pear blossom demon who massacred the town out of hatred that Huo Xin had told her before suddenly emerged in her mind. However, before she could think about it, the pagoda tree seemed to have consumed all its vitality after blooming, and all the pagoda flowers quickly withered.
They looked like clusters of white Epiphyllums falling from the branches, scattering into large patches of white in the air, or like countless pale paper money floating between heaven and earth, covering the entire Luohua Town, and finally slowly melting away in the sunlight.
Then the entire tree began to shrivel and decay. A strong wind blew, and it completely turned into dust and returned to the world. Only a whisper remained: "Xinyi, I know it's you..."
The enormous pagoda tree vanished just as quickly as it appeared, leaving behind only a faint floral fragrance that permeated the air. It instantly calmed the hearts of those who caught its scent, and all distracting thoughts vanished, leaving only a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The ghost-back spiders that had escaped the secret realm also fell into a deep sleep within the scent.
At the same time, the ice and snow around seemed to melt and spring returned to the earth.
All the grass and trees within sight blossomed and bore fruit instantly, the crops in the fields ripened immediately, the lively swaying golden waves of wheat disappeared, replaced by heavy ears of wheat hanging low to the ground.
The scars and illnesses of everyone in Luohua Town, as well as the wounds on Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai, were all healed at the same time. Birds sang happily and fish jumped out of the water lively.
Everywhere you look, there are willow trees swaying in the wind, brooks gurgling, birds singing, and flowers blooming. It is not a fairyland, but it is better than a fairyland.
The people in Luohua Town gradually stopped their panicked escape and looked up in confusion in the direction where the giant tree disappeared.
Yun Miao also stopped and slowly walked towards the female cultivator in white who was looking up at the distance.
"Xinyi, you..."
The white-robed female cultivator turned her head and looked at Yun Miao with a smile. "His core is the core of the secret realm. Although the secret realm has collapsed, it has not completely disappeared. If you drop your blood on the damaged core, you will directly claim it as your master and obtain the remaining fragments of the secret realm. As we agreed before, everything in the secret realm now belongs to you."
Her translucent figure slowly dissipated, and the tiny glimmers of light drifted towards the vast sky and earth.
"That Buddha Fruit has been nurtured for so many years, and it contains extraordinary power. Combined with the damaged core, it should be able to create a very good external incarnation. It should be at least at the Spiritual Transformation stage. You are really amazing to have such an adventure at such a young age."
"The coffin he built for me should still be in the secret realm. If possible, I hope you can find a place to bury him and me together. After all, we agreed... to live and die together, and I don't want to break my promise."
In just a few words, the soul of the female cultivator in white had faded into a faint silhouette, but she was still smiling, running towards the ending she had chosen with a free and easy smile.
"But if you don't like it, then just burn me and what's left of him. Anyway... we're all dead."
Yun Miao watched her figure disappear in silence, then looked up at the sky without saying a word.
She did not fulfill her oath to Futu and send Xinyi back into reincarnation, but it didn't matter. It was not her malicious breach of contract, so heaven did not punish her.
It’s a pity that with the death of Futu and Xinyi, the causal connection between her and them also disappeared.
*
When the secret realm was in danger of collapsing, the demon cultivators jumped into other cracks. Although they managed to escape, they were still far away from where Yun Miao and the other two were.
Poison Lady, Hua Xiugui and other demon cultivators were all covered in dust and in very bad condition. They knew that Yun Miao and the other two would definitely contact Xuantian Sect as soon as they escaped, so they had to evacuate quickly.
But seeing that the mission goal was within reach, they were unwilling to leave just like that. So they gritted their teeth and decided to try one last time.
They just couldn't believe that a group of demon cultivators who were at least in the Golden Core Stage and at most in the Refining Void Stage couldn't deal with three little brats with low cultivation base!
Even if evil cannot prevail over good, you can't just say that!
As their spiritual sense spread, the demon cultivators quickly found Yun Miao's trace.
Yun Miao felt as if someone was staring at her from behind. She turned around as if she had noticed something and saw a figure flying towards her rapidly.
The figure was moving so fast that an afterimage almost appeared. Yun Miao couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but she still guessed his identity in an instant. It was the group of lingering demonic cultivators!
Can't avoid it!
Yun Miao's pupils constricted, and in that split second, she quickly mobilized her spiritual power and threw the immortal shell out of the storage bag.
The fat and heavy meat ball flew high and far after Yun Miao threw it with all his strength. Hua Xiugui, who was about to grab Yun Miao, saw this and turned around and rushed in that direction quickly.
And just the next second after Hua Xiugui grabbed Xian Tu, a terrifying sword energy accompanied by an angry roar quickly slashed towards him.
"Demon cultivator, die!"
This time it was Hua Xiugui's turn to have his pupils constricted. Locked in by the terrifying pressure, he couldn't move at all. Death was a foregone conclusion!
Suddenly! Yan Wuguang appeared in front of him, pushed forward with both hands, and quickly built a series of hard and thick ice walls to block in front of him.
The sword energy, with a powerful momentum that could cut through mountains and seas, chopped the ice walls into pieces of ice all the way, but its power was also reduced layer by layer by the ice walls, and finally only one tenth of its power fell on Yan Wuguang.
But even so, he and the flower-embroidered ghost behind him, who were suspended in the air, flew backwards for dozens of miles in an instant, and finally fell heavily into a barren mountain forest, causing a cloud of dust to fly.
Hua Xiugui spat out blood, "It's the Xuantian Sect's leader! Young Master, what should we do now?"
Yan Wuguang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of excitement: "I will stop him, you take the Immortal Tu and leave."
Hua Xiugui was waiting for these words and immediately evacuated with Xian Tui.
Sect Leader Chang appeared above the forest in a flash, and swung a sword towards Hua Xiugui, but it was blocked by Yan Wuguang again.
Seeing this, Sect Leader Chang drew his sword and charged forward, his moves fierce and his expression stern. "Young Master, you are in the Void Refining Stage? Who are you to Yan Hai?"
Although his attack was powerful, he consciously avoided the direction of Luohua Town and forced Yan Wuguang further away to prevent the ferocious demon cultivator from jumping over the wall and directly exploding. At the same time, he also released his own pressure to cover the battlefield to prevent Yan Wuguang's pressure from affecting Luohua Town.
The fights between high-level cultivators are always earth-shattering, splitting mountains and breaking seas. At such times, if mortals and low-level cultivators are even slightly affected by the aftermath of their fights, they will lose their lives instantly.
This is also the reason why the founder of Xuantian Sect set the sect rules, not allowing disciples to get too close to mortals, and the reason why the cultivation world regards the lives of mortals and low-level cultivators as worthless.
Yan Wuguang was beaten back step by step, spitting blood, but he smiled happily: "He said he is my father, but I want to be his father more."
The murderous intent in Sect Leader Chang's eyes surged: "I was wondering why you looked so unpleasant to me. Turns out you're Yan Hai's son. You deserve to die!"
The sword flashed, blood splattered, and Yan Wuguang's left arm was cut off and fell to the ground in an instant. However, he laughed heartily as if he was extremely happy: "Heroes think alike. I also think I deserve to die!"
The murderous intent in Master Chang's eyes froze, and a hint of disgust appeared. I thought that the big beast Yan Hai gave birth to a little beast, but this one looked like a crazy fool.
Although he felt disgusted, Sect Leader Chang's attacks became more and more fierce as the distance between them and Luohua Town increased.
On the other side, Huo Xin and Tan Xiaobai rushed towards Yun Miao as soon as they discovered the demon cultivator.
"Yun Miao, are you okay?"
"Boss, they didn't hurt you, did they?"
Yun Miao shook his head and looked off into the distance. The fight between the Mahayana and Qi Refining stages was fierce, sending dust flying and shaking the mountaintops. Large swaths of towering ancient trees fell, and birds flew away in panic.
Even standing so far away, she could still vaguely feel the terrifying pressure and aftermath.
But she also realized that her master was temporarily entangled by Yan Wuguang, the fearless guy.
If Hua Xiugui and the others ran away, the immortal transformation that she had worked so hard to obtain would be completely lost.
Although she didn't like the greasy fat and didn't know what it was used for, no way... no one could take away the player's loot!
Yun Miao quickly thought of what Xinyi said before she disappeared.
"...I should be able to create a very good avatar. Probably to the Spiritual Transformation Stage..."
She had an idea at first, but then she remembered that she had no idea how to fuse the pagoda fruit and the corpse puppet core together.
Just as she was frowning anxiously, a system prompt suddenly appeared before her eyes: [Players can use the power of karma to fuse the Buddha Fruit, the Corpse Puppet Core, and their own blood to create an external incarnation unique to the player.]
Harnessing the power of cause and effect? How?
Yun Miao called up the system panel and tried to select the skill Fate Weaving. Then, in a flash, she was back in that dark space. Three colors of causal lines crisscrossed before her.
She lowered her head and thought carefully: Holographic games are essentially a dream that the holographic helmet allows players to have. Players can communicate with the game through brain waves. All she needs to do now is...
Yun Miao closed his eyes and tried his best to make his thoughts clear.
In the dark space, the pure white pagoda fruit, the broken corpse puppet core and a ball of blood floated in the air out of thin air. Countless causal lines penetrated into the body of the girl in green, and then a blurry figure was slowly pulled out from it.
The three objects floating in the air quickly sank into the human figure, a dazzling light burst out, and the illusory human figure turned into a solid entity.
As a result, ninety percent of the causal lines turned into a dull gray, leaving only a few causal lines flashing faintly in the darkness.
When Yun Miao opened her eyes, she saw a woman who looked almost identical to her current self, but taller and with more mature features. This was her real-life appearance.
[Avatar, Realm: Peak of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, HP: 9,000,000 points]
The peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage!
Yun Miao's breathing quickened. She was very satisfied with the level of her clone, but she was not very satisfied with its appearance.
She had previously heard on a gaming forum that many sects in the game "Asking the Way of the Three Thousand Worlds" had age requirements for recruiting disciples. Since this was her first time playing a holographic game and she wanted a more engaging experience, she used her real name and face, and only adjusted her age to fifteen.
But now that the novelty has worn off, fickle players have other ideas.
Judging from the previous situation, no matter how long she stayed in this causal space, it would only be a moment for the outside world. Why not just take some time to pinch her face, and then...
*
In the dark causal space, a white and slender hand grasped the black causal thread that was the enemy of Hua Xiugui. As the causal power was extracted, the causal thread immediately turned into a dull gray.
At the same time, deep within the icy river, a massive jade scorpion, like an arrow shot from a bow, broke through the water and fled into the distance. Its back was shielded by a circular cyan barrier. No matter how fast it swam underwater, the cold, dirty water outside could not penetrate the barrier and flood in.
The five remaining demon cultivators sat breathlessly, their hearts still trembling as they sat on the Jade Scorpion, occasionally glancing back to see if they were being pursued. They had to quickly follow the crisscrossing network of waterways to escape the Xuantian Sect's pursuit. Otherwise, if they were caught up by the Xuantian Sect, they would surely perish!
Hua Xiugui took the elixir and meditated to heal his wound, but found it had no effect. The lightning energy from the spell lingered in his wound, causing persistent damage. Even the medicine had little effect. Not only did the wound not heal, it even widened!
He looked at Poison Lady and asked if she had any solution.
The Poison Lady sat cross-legged on top of the Jade Scorpion's head. Even though she was covered in wounds, she was still smiling and had the mind to admire her dark purple nails.
"No."
Hua Xiugui: "Your medical skills are so great, how could there be no solution?"
Poison Lady: "Everyone knows that Poison Lady only knows how to use poison, not medicine."
Hua Xiugui's face turned cold: "You can lie to others with these words, but don't try to lie to us. Everyone knows that you were..."
Before he could finish his words, the Jade Scorpion's poisonous tail stinger had already pierced his head. He immediately rolled on the Jade Scorpion's back, away from his previous position, and glared at the Poison Lady: "Are you crazy?!"
Poison Lady's expression finally turned cold, and her tiny eyes fixed on Hua Xiugui: "You were seeking death yourself, I was only helping you."
The other three demon cultivators were so frightened that they dared not move, but they were afraid to let the situation develop further. One of them bit the bullet and tried to smooth things over.
Hua Xiugui shut his mouth and stopped talking, but after a while, he became angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but say, "If you ask me, all this is to blame on those three damned little ghosts. I told you to kill them, but you refused!"
Poison Lady: "Killing them will only attract the Xuantian Sect's people faster. Our mission is to obtain the Immortal Shedding, not to kill people. Now that we have obtained the Immortal Shedding, as long as we bring it back to the sect, our mission will be completed and everyone will be happy."
Hua Xiugui growled, "But the young master has fallen into the hands of the Xuantian Sect. He is dead!"
Poison Lady sneered, "Just now, when the Young Master was protecting you, you ran away without even looking back. Now you're feeling sorry for the Young Master. And don't forget, we're also on the run from the Xuantian Sect. We don't know if we can even get out of Yunzhou alive."
Hua Xiugui was silent for a moment. "Don't worry about that. You all know how precious the high-level Breath-Suppressing Talisman that the Young Master gave me earlier is. We're so deep underwater now. Even if the Xuantian Sect's leader is a peak Mahayana cultivator, he wouldn't be able to find us right away."
"Furthermore, this high-level Breath-Suppressing Talisman will be effective for two hours. If this Jade Scorpion is as fast as you say, two hours is more than enough for us to escape from Yunzhou."
"Really? Is this talisman so powerful?"
An unfamiliar female voice suddenly interrupted. Her voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder exploding in the ears of several demon cultivators.
When Hua Xiugui realized that the voice was right behind him, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end and his back felt cold. He subconsciously wanted to move away from where he was, but a hand was already one step ahead of him and pierced his heart cleanly and neatly.
Time seemed to slow down. Hua Xiugui's neck seemed to be rusted as he turned his head little by little, and saw a white figure behind him that shouldn't have existed.
She was a woman dressed in pure white, wearing a plain white long dress without any jewelry. Her white hair was draped behind her, like brocade woven by moonlight. Her skin was whiter than snow, and the soles of her boots were spotless. She looked like a jade statue of a goddess that was not stained by dust.
She was so close to Hua Xiugui that her white and slender hands deeply penetrated into his back. The sharp water spiritual power was like thousands of cold needles exploding in his heart, destroying it to pieces. Her other hand was holding a high-level breath-suppressing talisman that she had just peeled off from the back of the green jade scorpion.
No one knew when she came, nor when she took off the breath-suppressing talisman.
Everyone just saw her stuffing the talisman into her sleeve as if it was a matter of course, and curling her lips at them who were facing a formidable enemy.
"I like this talisman, and now it belongs to me."
She was smiling, but her dark eyes were filled with a strange purple, like a terrifying whirlpool that could swallow people.
Only then did everyone realize that her eyes were not the usual black, but a strange dark purple. So the goddess who was not tainted by the dust of the world instantly turned into a cold and ruthless demon.
At that moment, Hua Xiugui's mind seemed to be blank, and countless questions seemed to be swirling around.
Who is this woman?
After all, he was at the Spirit Transformation Stage, but he didn't feel anything when someone suddenly approached him. This woman had such a powerful skill in concealing her breath.
Judging from the aura she was exuding... she seemed slightly stronger than him, but she should still be at the Spiritual Transformation stage. Was this an elder from the Xuantian Sect sent to hunt them down?
No, that's not right. Under the influence of a high-level Breath-Suppressing Talisman, even a cultivator at the Mahayana stage, using all their spiritual sense to search, would find it difficult to find their traces immediately, let alone a cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation stage? This isn't normal!
Since her breath-hiding skills were so powerful that she could silently touch the Jade Scorpion's back without alerting anyone, it seemed normal that she knew how to change the strength of her breath.
She must be not just in the Spirit Transformation Stage, but in the stronger Void Refinement Stage, or even the Mahayana Stage!
At this moment, the Poison Lady suddenly opened her mouth and sprayed a puff of poisonous smoke towards the face of the white-clothed woman, and at the same time, the jade scorpion's tail stinger pierced the white-clothed woman's back.
【run! 】
The green barrier on the back of the jade scorpion disappeared, and river water with a faint fishy smell rushed in. Poison Lady and others dived into the water and swam forward quickly without looking back.
Just as the white-robed female cultivator pulled back her hand to defend herself, Hua Xiugui, clutching her heart with a look of pain, dove into the water, instantly staining the waters red with blood. He forced himself to take a deep breath, pulled out a pitch-black pill imbued with demonic energy, and swallowed it. His broken heart healed instantly at a visible speed, followed by his broken ribs and the flesh on his chest.
Hua Xiugui felt a pang of pain. Pills containing demonic energy were rare, and those that could be used for healing were even rarer. This was a life-saving pill he had spent most of his fortune on at an auction, but he hadn't expected to use it so soon.
Fortunately, you get what you pay for. In just a few breaths, all the injuries on Hua Xiugui's body were healed. Unfortunately, there was no tattoo on the repaired skin, especially the blank space on his left chest, which greatly destroyed the integrity of the blue tattoo. It looked like alopecia areata and was very ugly.
Hua Xiugui used her spiritual sense to communicate with the others, trying to come up with a plan: "Does anyone know who that woman is? How come I didn't know when such a person emerged from the Xuantian Sect? Does she have any weaknesses?"
