Ji Xiaoxiao fought the corpse demons of the Wind God Gobi for seven days and seven nights until she was almost exhausted and had no choice but to find a safe place to rest.
After rapidly recovering her spiritual power and resting overnight under the open sky, Ji Xiaoxiao threw herself back into the exhilarating task of slaying the corpse demons.
Amidst the fighting and killing, time passed by in the blink of an eye, and a month had gone by.
Over the past month, the Corpse Demon has witnessed firsthand the ruthlessness, cruelty, and recklessness of Ji Xiaoxiao, the fearless and suicidal warrior, through the bloody experiences of countless companions.
As the saying goes, the poor fear the ruthless, the ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless. While the corpse demons' minds may seem elusive, they are simple-minded and their intuition is remarkably accurate. Ji Xiaoxiao is not to be trifled with; they'd be rushing to their deaths if they weren't out of their minds.
The next morning, Ji Xiaoxiao made a big commotion, but after waiting and waiting, not a single corpse demon came to visit. Ji Xiaoxiao was also tired of the corpse demons' monotonous attack methods. Let them come or not, it just saved her time to seize the Morning Sun Flower.
The morning glory grows deep in the Gobi Desert—a place where the sky is never seen, a place considered the most dangerous in the Gobi. There, the air is thick with the stench of death, and sandstorms rage year-round, obscuring the sun, clouds, and blue sky; hence the name "the place where the sky is never seen."
Ji Xiaoxiao slowly made her way towards the unseen sky. Along the way, the corpse demons avoided her like the plague. As soon as they saw her, they were like mice seeing a cat, and all the corpse demons ran away as fast as they could.
For some unknown reason, flying was prohibited in the Fengshen Gobi Desert. Helpless, Ji Xiaoxiao walked for half a month, braving the fierce winds and yellow sand, and finally arrived at the place where the sky was nowhere to be seen.
The outermost layer, obscuring the sky, is an indestructible tornado. With no other entrance, one can only grit one's teeth and bravely traverse through the tornado.
Cultivating immortality is defying the heavens. Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at the tornado indifferently, took a step, and headed straight for the tornado.
The wind spun rapidly, sharp as a knife. With each step Ji Xiaoxiao took, countless wounds appeared on her body, bleeding profusely. In no time, Ji Xiaoxiao was covered in blood.
A second felt like an eternity. After an unknown amount of time, Ji Xiaoxiao lay on a desolate sand dune, the roar of the tornado still echoing in her ears.
Sunrise and sunset, another day has passed.
Ji Xiaoxiao opened her heavy eyelids, her bright eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. Her slightly sallow face had her brows furrowed slightly, clearly indicating her lack of understanding of the current situation.
"Where am I? How did I get here?"
After a while, Ji Xiaoxiao belatedly realized that she had successfully passed through the tornado.
She sat cross-legged, absorbing spiritual energy to quickly repair her body's damage. As the moon rose above the willow branches, Ji Xiaoxiao slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, stood up cleanly, and casually brushed the yellow sand off her body. During this process, her clothes shifted, revealing her skin; the deep and shallow wounds on Ji Xiaoxiao's body had all stopped bleeding and scabbed over.
Looking around, the sky was dark and gloomy, and the thick, oppressive aura of death seemed almost tangible. Being in it felt like being overwhelmed by a raging river, making it hard to breathe.
The original owner aspired to become a great demon, and the corpse energy of Bujiantian was beneficial to Ji Xiaoxiao's cultivation. Currently, besides Ji Xiaoxiao, there are no other living beings in Bujiantian. The matter of seizing the Morning Sun Flower is temporarily put aside. Following the method of circulating spiritual energy through her meridians in the Demon Cultivation Chapter of the Dao Tian, Ji Xiaoxiao focused intently on absorbing the corpse energy to stabilize her Golden Core Great Perfection realm, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage at any time.
Two months later, the unseen corpse energy formed a whirlwind, which, visible to the naked eye, surged from the top of Ji Xiaoxiao's head into her eight extraordinary meridians.
With a snap, the golden core shattered, and the nascent soul was formed.
Her tightly closed eyes snapped open, and her sharp aura shook away the corpse energy surrounding Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao slapped the yellow sand with her palm, and the sand dunes in the distance exploded like fireworks. The sand flying all over the sky flew and circled in an extremely orderly trajectory, and gradually, a complex formation was formed.
"Heavenly Demon Formation, activate."
Ji Xiaoxiao shouted, and the Heavenly Demon Formation was activated. With a flash of red light, all the corpse demons lurking beneath the sand dunes were annihilated.
Looking at her slender, jade-like hands in disbelief, Ji Xiaoxiao smiled contentedly.
She dusted herself off, stood up, and looked at the severed limbs on the ground. Ji Xiaoxiao remained calm and walked forward without any burden, stepping on them.
Although she wondered why the corpse demons didn't swarm her while she was trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Ji Xiaoxiao shrugged. There are countless mysteries in the world; how could she possibly investigate them all? Besides, Ji Xiaoxiao wasn't the type to pry into everything. If she didn't know, she didn't know. Did she think she was missing flesh and blood, or was in debt because she didn't know?
Ji Xiaoxiao wandered around in the dark, stopping and starting, when a delicate flower swaying in the wind caught her eye.
Walking quickly over, Ji Xiaoxiao recalled the description of the morning glory in the original owner's memory and confirmed that the beautiful flower in front of her was the famous morning glory.
Ji Xiaoxiao reached out and plucked a morning glory, but before her smile could even fully bloom, the yellow sand suddenly began to steam, forming small mounds. The sand slid away, revealing the true form of the corpse demon.
The ghouls sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and within seconds, the sky was filled with them in dense swarms.
Ji Xiaoxiao had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and was itching to get her hands dirty. Now that a "punching bag" had personally delivered itself to her door, Ji Xiaoxiao accepted it without hesitation. No matter how many corpse demons came, Ji Xiaoxiao would take them all.
...
Half a month later, Ji Xiaoxiao, covered in injuries, left the Fengshen Gobi Desert.
After finding a cave to recover from her injuries, Ji Xiaoxiao took a moment to carefully calculate the time: a month in a coma, a month of fighting and killing, half a month of traveling, a month of attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and half a month of fighting and retreating. There were only half a month left before Mingyuehui stole the Soul-Connecting Netherworld Water from Yin Soul Mountain.
Once you leave the Wind God Gobi Desert, you can fly. Ji Xiaoxiao is traveling at full speed and should be able to return to Yinhun Mountain in about ten days, so there's no need to rush.
