Shi Xuan stood up from the ground, his small face covered in soot, cupped his hands and spun around halfway, showering the ground with compliments without asking for spirit stones: "Thank you, sect leaders! You seniors are indeed worthy of being sect leaders of great sects, each of you possesses extraordinary bearing, inspiring awe in all of us!"
Shi Mingxiu was already immune to it. Her sweet words were always delivered in bulk, and he was used to being attacked by them. Moreover, she would say even more when receiving gifts.
The other four sect leaders, however, had never witnessed such talent before, and were immediately embarrassed by Shi Xuan's praise. Good heavens, where did they find this disciple? Not only is his talent and strength formidable, but his personality is also so endearing; he even knows how to please his elders. Truly a fine disciple of Qian Yuan!
Shi Xuan's condition improved at a visible speed, turning from charcoal black to brown. Lin Daozi cast a cleansing spell on her, making her even fairer, which amazed the sect leaders.
"Are you using the power of heavenly lightning to cultivate as you travel back and forth through it?"
Although everyone had already confirmed this, Feng Hanmo still asked a question: She was really special. If everyone could be like that, wouldn't the tribulation become an opportunity?
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Sect Master Feng, because my spiritual roots are complex, including a lightning spiritual root, I have some affinity for lightning and can use it to cultivate."
The sect leaders nodded. No wonder, cultivators with lightning spiritual roots find it very easy to transcend tribulations... but it's strange that she actually has a lightning spiritual root.
Wasn't Fan Hongde's daughter supposed to be a useless person with five spiritual roots? How come when it's Shi Xuan, she doesn't seem useless at all?
Feng Hanmo tentatively asked again, "How is your spiritual root...?"
Everyone was well aware of her situation and despised Fan Hongde's actions. They wondered how she was doing now that her spiritual roots had been replaced.
"It's nothing serious," Shi Xuan said casually. "There was a minor problem, but I've refined some pills to control it, and now I'm not much different from an ordinary person."
No, no, no, the sect leaders pursed their lips in unison, thinking to themselves that you are quite different from ordinary people. There is no "ordinary person" who can single-handedly win all the championships in the Six Sects Grand Competition...

At this moment, Fan Mingzhu, trapped in the Abyss of Demons, is experiencing the most perilous moment of her life.
The abyss was shrouded in darkness, as if one had fallen into an eternal night. A terrible, sticky, and foul stench permeated the air, refusing to dissipate.
In all her life, Fan Mingzhu had never been so embarrassed.
Back when she was still in the Divine Cauldron Sect, she bathed and perfumed herself every day, and dressed herself up beautifully every day. Why is she like this now!
At this moment, she really regretted it. She originally had a very comfortable life. She was originally a rich young lady. As the daughter of the sect leader of the Divine Cauldron Sect, everything she wanted would be given to her.
So what if my cultivation level isn't high? It's still better than being trapped in this hopeless situation!
At this moment, the Heavenly Army was also very hesitant.
He was right next to Fan Mingzhu, but she didn't notice. He hesitated whether to take advantage of Fan Mingzhu's physical and mental weakness now.
Tianjun's initial reason for finding Fan Mingzhu was to possess her body. He had been in a wandering state for too many years, and if he couldn't find a suitable body in a few more years, he would lose the strength to possess another body.
The demonic seed he sent Fan Mingzhu to find, and the demonic arts he taught her, were all preparations for his future.
The demonic seed that entered his body primarily served as his source of power.
However, not only is Fan Mingzhu weak now, but he is also in a weak state. The demon seed used almost all its power to teleport them out. Now, even if he manages to successfully possess someone, he probably won't be able to cope with the situation in this demon abyss.
Tianjun sighed inwardly. It seemed he would have to give up such a good opportunity for the time being.
He comforted himself, thinking that there would be many more opportunities for Fan Mingzhu to encounter danger in the future, and he would deal with it then.
Fan Mingzhu had no sense of having escaped this calamity. She deeply resented the environment and only cared about complaining about her current situation.
Tianjun said in a deep voice, "You should focus on your cultivation. Although the environment is poor, the demonic energy is abundant. It is a sacred place for demonic cultivators to cultivate, and it is a rare opportunity."
"But it's so gloomy here, you can't see anything, and it stinks so badly, it's unbearable!"
“There is no other way,” Tianjun’s voice sounded colder than usual: “You can only get out of this abyss by becoming strong here.”
He paused and then said, "I need to remind you that magical beasts appear here every now and then. If you're not strong enough, you'll just end up in their bellies and become their food."
Fan Mingzhu felt even more upset.
What kind of bullshit world is this! Why is the way of heaven so unfair! Thinking of how Shi Xuan has already won several championships in the Six Sects Grand Competition and is being admired by thousands, while she is trapped in this dark and hopeless abyss and cannot get out.
How could this not be moving?
The lack of sunlight made her feel depressed, and under Tianjun's urging, Fan Mingzhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and begin her cultivation.
The demonic energy here was too concentrated. When it first entered my body, it caused a wave of pain and dizziness, along with an instinctive nausea that made me want to vomit.
When she first started cultivating, there was very little demonic energy outside. With the small amount of demonic energy provided by the demonic seed and the absorption of human life force, she did not feel so uncomfortable.
But at this moment, amidst the sticky demonic energy, she suddenly felt an intense aversion to it. The thought of these foul-smelling substances entering her body was unbearable...
"You'd better concentrate. You never know when a monster might appear," Tianjun reminded her, noticing her distracted state.
Fan Mingzhu wanted to cry. She felt like the whole world was against her. Not only had her world collapsed, but even Tianjun was more indifferent than before.
Suddenly she missed her father terribly. When her father was around, she had never suffered such injustice!
But now... she doesn't know if she'll ever have the chance to see her father again...
Just then, two black, hound-like beasts suddenly approached and charged at Fan Mingzhu.
Fan Mingzhu was shocked. The fighting techniques that Tianjun had taught her regarding demonic possession were completely ineffective against these monsters, which were originally full of demonic energy.
The spells he learned before are now unusable because he has become a demonic cultivator.
Now, facing the two magical beasts, she seemed helpless.
Fortunately, the two magical beasts were not high level, and at the most critical moment, the Heavenly Army came to her aid, allowing her to escape a calamity.
Tianjun's only thought was that he didn't want his body to die here.
After this monster attack, Fan Mingzhu finally realized that no matter what, staying alive was the most important thing.
So he gritted his teeth and put aside his desire for external things, focusing all his energy on cultivation.
As it turns out, when a person is in a harsh environment, they gradually adapt after a period of time and forget who they used to be...
