Several days later.
Northern Territory, Spiritual dicine Garden.
The ng sisters, along with Lady Dierei and Song Ningjing, were jointly attacking a prohibition.
These four Early Stage of Core Formation female cultivators were now getting along even more harmoniously, sharing a bond akin to sworn sisters.
Clang!
Accompanied by Song Ningjing’s final sword strike, the Autumn Water Sword transford into a piercing sword light, cleaving down upon the golden prohibition.
Crash!
Countless golden fragnts exploded outward, and the prohibition that previously enveloped the area vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Sister Song’s swordsmanship has improved again," said Lady Dierei with a beaming smile after witnessing the scene.
"You flatter ..." Song Ningjing knew this lady’s relationship with the Wind-rider was extraordinary and didn’t dare to be negligent.
The ng sisters, on the other hand, were preoccupied with the Spirit Grass. As soon as the prohibition dispersed, they eagerly flew in: "This place is just a corner of the Spiritual dicine Garden in the Northern Territory. There are more than a dozen Jiedan Cultivators who entered this prohibition with us. To avoid any lengthy complications, we should hurry up and collect the Spirit Grass..."
Behind the prohibition, a chill hit them—it was an ice crystal waterfall!
"Hundred-year Cold Spring?"
Song Ningjing’s eyes lit up upon seeing the waterfall flowing in the snowy landscape: "This spring is not made of ice, but its coldness surpasses that of thousand-year ice... It’s perfect for refining Flying Swords!"
The ng sisters were also elated: "This environnt is highly suitable for ’Nine Intense Dragon Capturing Grass’ to grow. It must be here..."
Before, they had scoured several locations and, though they had acquired so thousand-year-old spiritual grass, they had yet to find the coveted ’Nine Intense Dragon Capturing Grass.’
The four won imdiately expanded their Divine Sense inch by inch, searching the area for miles around.
"It’s here!"
It didn’t take long before ng Xingyu exclaid with joy, flying into the waterfall.
Inside the waterfall, there was a cave.
Deep in the cave, beside a pool of cold spring, grew several strange chi-red Spirit Grasses.
Their roots were thick, with nine red lines on them, resembling dragon shapes—it was indeed ’Nine Intense Dragon Capturing Grass’!
"Hehe, congratulations to you both, your cultivation technique can finally make great strides..." Lady Dierei congratulated them with a giggling smile.
She had known the ng sisters for many years and was aware that these sisters practiced a unique and profound cultivation technique that was helpful in forming the True Core. However, after Core Formation, their progress beca much more difficult, and they couldn’t switch techniques; they had to stick to their path to the end.
"This Spirit Grass should be about a thousand years old; that should be sufficient..." Song Ningjing assessed and nodded, "As per our previous agreent, Dierei and I will not partake..."
"Thank you, sisters," said ng Xingtong, overjoyed. She took out a Jade Box, harvested the Nine Intense Dragon Capturing Grass, and carefully stored it in her storage bag before breathing a sigh of relief.
However, as the four won flew out of the waterfall, Song Ningjing’s expression suddenly changed. The Autumn Water Sword transford into a streak of light, slashing at a certain spot in the void.
"Hmm? Quite clever..." A cold snort ca from mid-air as a young man with red eyebrows and hair appeared.
He stood with his hands behind his back, flicking his finger carelessly.
A Fire Dragon erged, its imposing presence astounding, as if it could scorch heaven and earth.
With a re swipe of its claw, it shattered the streak of sword light. Imnse mana filled all directions, bringing a powerful sense of oppression.
"Golden Core Late Stage?" Song Ningjing cried out in alarm.
"It’s Yan Yanzi!" Seeing the young man, the ng sisters’ hearts sank into the Abyss as they inwardly bemoaned:
’Why isn’t this person making waves in the Central Domain instead of competing with us in the Northern Territory?’
’Thankfully, Yan Yanzi is a figure of the Righteous Path. If we hand over all the Spirit Grass, he should not be driven to kill us to death... There is also so relationship between my ng Family ancestors and Burning Sky Valley.’
To the average cultivator, the difference between the Righteous and Demonic paths is that the Righteous generally only want money, while the Demonic not only want money but also life!
Yan Yanzi crushed the sword light in his hand but was truly irate inside.
This ti, the Righteous Five had taken a hard fall, outnumbered five to three and still being counter-killed by Hun Yuanzi.
Word would spread across the Cultivation World that this generation’s Righteous newstars weren’t up to par, nailing them to the pillar of sha!
But alas... if you can’t beat them, you can’t beat them!
Especially Yu Zhenzi, who had cultivated the ’Soul-destroying Demon Flas’, a nesis to the Vast Energy Divine Skills, and was recognized as the top Core Formation cultivator.
The three remaining mbers of the Righteous Five could only barely maintain a balance, earning the last opportunity to harvest a Divine Infant Fruit.
Originally, things were supposed to go that way...
But then, Zhengqizi gathered them to heal their wounds and received a shocking piece of news.
’The Wind-rider’ was a Nascent Soul Sword Lord!
Not only that, but with a single person and a sword, he had slain all the elite Demon Path cultivators!
Even the four Divine Infant Fruits had been completely gathered by him.
At that mont, Zhengqizi decided not to compete for the last Divine Infant Fruit but to avoid the sharp edge instead!
Although it seed like ’The Wind-rider’ was slaying Demon Path cultivators and siding with the Righteous, when it ca to the Divine Infant Fruit, even brothers from the sa sect might turn against each other with drawn blades!
Considering that the other party dared to kill several Demon Path Nascent Soul Seeds without hesitation, it was clear that he wouldn’t show much face to the Righteous Path.
Even Yan Yanzi himself, if any Righteous cultivator dared to oppose him, would definitely resort to killing without hesitation!
Therefore, the Righteous Three directly went their separate ways, not vying for the Divine Infant Fruit but could only scavenge other spiritual resources in the Central Domain.
The result... an even more speechless scene occurred!
That "Skywind" had none of the deanor befitting a Nascent Soul elder and even competed with them for Third Rank Spirit Grass!
Simply inhumane!
Had it been outside the blessed land, such bullying from the strong against the weak would have long been besieged by the Righteous and Demonic Nascent Souls!
But alas...
The Righteous Three could only admit defeat, heading to the Four Domains to collect spiritual resources, which was a barely adequate consolation.
However, this plan also did not go smoothly!
Yan Yanzi had just received news today that the powerful Body Cultivator who had previously snatched the Divine Infant Fruit was also frantically sweeping up all sorts of spiritual resources, especially Spirit Grass!
By now, he had already clashed with Zhengqi Zi and Vajra Zi, and even the two Righteous Five working together couldn’t take him down but instead suffered a minor loss...
With a dejected look, Yan Yanzi chose the Northern Territory naturally because many Cultivation Techniques and Elixirs in Burning Sky Valley were too violent, requiring cold-natured Spirit Grass for balance.
Given his current mood, encountering any obstructing Cultivators, he might just kill them on a whim to vent his frustration.
But at that mont, his Divine Sense noticed sothing peculiar about the ng sisters, the original Fire Dragon pausing in its tracks.
"This seems to be the ng sisters from the intelligence reports... the ones who entered the Linglang Blessed Land with that Nascent Soul monster..."
"Although there’s an eighty percent chance that the ’Skywind’ is already dead, rely a disguise... but such a Nascent Soul monster is capricious, and if I tamper with his harem... he might pursue to kill within the secret realm..."
Even outside, Yan Yanzi might not dare to fully offend a Nascent Soul elder.
Unless he stayed inside his Sect for the rest of his life and went out only after Nascent Soul Formation!
In the history of Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World, similar incidents had happened.
A Nascent Soul True Monarch, a Loose Cultivator, did not fear the tread barefoot, and even the Righteous and Demonic paths dared not provoke.
After all, the escape abilities of a Nascent Soul True Monarch are formidable; even if they cannot win, they can still exact furious revenge on their enemy’s Sect mbers and Disciples.
Therefore, it was very much supported by both Righteous and Demonic paths for those Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators to establish powers and families in their own right.
This was akin to holding each other’s weakness, an understanding with a baseline.
But now, this ’Skywind’ was capricious and could very well not even be a Cultivator from the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World, requiring extra caution!
"Forget it... it turns out to be you all; I’ve disturbed you, farewell!"
Yan Yanzi forced a slight smile and then turned into a streak of firelight, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"Eh? Who would have thought that Yan Yanzi really is a model for the Righteous Path... I thought he would at least snatch our Spirit Grass."
Madam Butterfly patted her ample bosom, feeling sowhat relieved as though having survived a calamity.
The ng sisters exchanged looks, both confused: "The Yan Yanzi from the reports was as fiery as flas, not soone who seed so easy to talk to..."
They did not have information networks on the level of the Righteous Five.
Moreover, these four Early Stage of Core Formation female Cultivators were at the bottom of the food chain in Linglang Blessed Land.
Occasionally encountering Jiedan Cultivators, they either fought directly or avoided them from afar, seldom interacting.
Focused on searching for spiritual resources in the Northern Territory, they were oblivious to the events at Divine Infant Cliff, which was understandable.
...
In the blink of an eye, the ti when Linglang Blessed Land was about to close ca.
In a certain Cave Mansion within the secret realm.
Fang Xing and his original self sat opposite to each other, sharing a smile.
"This ti, the harvest has indeed been quite ample..."
Fang Xing sighed.
The most important Nascent Soul Spiritual Object of this trip, he alone snatched a total of five!
Of course, one was taken by his original self in the guise of an unknown powerful Body Cultivator, unknown to others.
But even the four known to others were an impressive number.
One could imagine the frenzy that the Righteous and Demonic paths would be in afterward.
"The safest now would be to teleport back to Blue Star... let them search for air..."
Fang Xing revealed a hint of a smile, then a trace of hesitation.
Because according to the teleportation pattern of the Gate of All Heavens he had figured out, after leaving, he should be teleported back to the original place.
Thus, if both his original self and Cultivation Avatar went to Blue Star, when Linglang Blessed Land ended, and he was teleported back, he would still be inside the blessed land!
’But Linglang Blessed Land opens once every five hundred years, and once it closes, the Cultivators inside are in great danger...’
’At least, there is no precedent in the Cultivation World for soone who has stayed for five hundred years and survived...’
Five hundred years of ti, with the resources of Linglang Blessed Land, could even be enough to make a shot at Nascent Soul.
The Righteous and Demonic paths set up resource points here but never stationed Cultivators to guard them, which must have a reason.
Fang Xing felt he could not take the risk.
Otherwise, if he was locked within Linglang Blessed Land, then he would be completely cut off from the vast Cultivation World.
"Therefore, the safest would be for the original self to take all the gains back to Blue Star first, while the Cultivation Avatar stays here. After being teleported out of Linglang Blessed Land, then adapt to the situation..."
Fang Xing imdiately grabbed the storage bag filled with a large amount of gains.
After a brief mont of contemplation, with a flick of his wrist.
An ancient-looking seven-stringed zither erged, its end slightly charred.
"The Spiritual Treasure—Jiao Wei Zither, if it could be refined, the Cultivation Avatar would have two Spiritual Treasures, further increasing combat power... alas..."
The Cultivation Avatar sent a stream of Nascent Soul Power into the Jiao Wei Zither, imdiately feeling a sense of resistance.
This was the spirituality of the ’Jiao Wei Zither’ resisting his refining efforts!
This sensation, unlike the ease of previously refining the ’Green Sun Demon Lamp,’ was significantly different.
