I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 257: Chapter 224: Group Taunt

The sky was clear blue, with not a single cloud tainting its purity.

Kongfang City had set up five major battle zones in the north, south, east, west, and center squares for Foundation Establishment cultivators’ preliminary selection. In the northern Immortal Traveling Mountain, three Great Arrays were laid for Golden Core cultivators’ preliminary selection.

The entire preliminary selection process lasted five days.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, no matter which area they were in, winning ten matches a day would earn them one jade token, collecting three jade tokens would allow them to exchange for a Breaking Boundary Pearl to enter the Secret Realm Maze.

There were 365 Breaking Boundary Pearls for the Foundation Establishment Stage and 81 for the Golden Core Stage.

In the city, there were at least ten thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators and over three hundred Golden Core cultivators, many of whom had arrived years in advance from various corners of the Earth Spiritual Realm.

They not only sought fame in the Wind and Cloud Meeting but also aimed at the Secret Realm Maze, a colossal treasure trove.

Opening once every fifty years, for some, catching it at the peak of their cultivation prowess was extraordinarily challenging.

Due to the Wind and Cloud Meeting being linked to the administrative affairs of the Earth Spiritual Realm for the next fifty years, there were additional rules for exchanging Breaking Boundary Pearls.

Noble Families, Sects, and Loose Cultivators, each had hundreds for the Foundation Establishment and twenty for the Golden Core. The remaining were fought for based on alliances.

Taking the Foundation Establishment Stage as an example, regardless of how many Sect disciples vied for the Breaking Boundary Pearls, in the end, only one hundred plus sixty-five could be contested, while the remaining two hundred had to be exchanged by Noble Families and Loose Cultivators.

Breaking Boundary Pearls were limited, first come, first served. Once fully exchanged, even if one had three jade tokens, it would be useless.

Foundation Establishment cultivators only had two chances to challenge every day, once determined to participate, deaths and injuries were disregarded, losing twice meant no further challenges for that day.

After the first loss, previous consecutive wins were not erased, it could accumulate to the second attempt, winning a total of ten matches meant passing for the day.

Competition was fierce and time was pressing. As soon as the five battle zones opened, cultivators from all sides flocked in, creating a bustling crowd.

Jiang Yuebai packed up early and stepped out, intending to call Lu Nanzhi along, but she had already left, leaving only a note for her.

[I intend to represent the Lu Family in the battle, I won’t be returning for the next few days, you and Jingshan take care, watch out for Lu Qixiu and Lu Qiyuan brothers]

”Is even the right to represent the Heavenly Ordinance Sect in the Wind and Cloud Meeting stripped away?”

Jiang Yuebai sighed, Anan was not someone to be controlled, perhaps she had her plans.

”I should make haste too.”

Jiang Yuebai donned a black outfit, tightened the leather wristbands.

Kept everything on her hidden, wrapped her face with black cloth used for making sacks.

This sack cloth was dug out from Xie Jingshan’s home storage, capable of blocking Divine Sense detection.

Her hair was tied up on top of her head, set with a jade hairpin, Jiang Yuebai’s brows and eyes were sharp, exuding a decisive heroic aura in her every movement.

Holding her conference card, Jiang Yuebai arrived at the nearest and largest battlefield in the city.

On the grand square accommodating thousands, heads were crowded together, the scene was unprecedented, such a vast sea of people, endless to the eye.

The surrounding pavilions were also packed with spectators, Jiang Yuebai heard the rumbling of Magical Techniques, clanging clashes of weapons, along with sudden bursts of cheers, noisy and lively.

Jiang Yuebai couldn’t squeeze in, in a hurry, she performed ’Cloud Stepping’, stepping directly on air, followed by Sky-Breaking Flash, instantly appearing at the center of the battlefield.

With leverage from below, Jiang Yuebai landed lightly.

”Who stepped on my head!!”

Amazingly, no one was around her, only a male cultivator in mid-Stage Foundation Establishment was kneeling with blood at the corner of his mouth, a yard away.

Had she directly entered the ring?

Jiang Yuebai saw around were rings ten yards square, swords and flames flying, all engaged in fierce slaughter, the aftermath of battles was enveloped by bubble-thin barriers, unaffected by surrounding people.

Once a cultivator entered a ring, their conference token would link with the array, knocking someone off the ring would leave a light mark on the token.

Being knocked off would leave a crack, after two cracks the token would shatter, no longer allowed on the ring, requiring a new token the next day.

Jiang Yuebai recalled her research on the Wind and Cloud Meeting’s preliminary selection rules, her eyes moved.

”Oh dear, fellow cultivator, why such a grand gesture, I’m too young to bear it, please rise quickly.”

The male cultivator in mid-Stage Foundation Establishment had just suppressed the blood in his chest, ready to stand and fight, but upon hearing Jiang Yuebai’s words, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What do you mean a grand gesture?

The male cultivator stood up, pointed his long sword, and angrily asked, ”Who are you, state your name.”

Jiang Yuebai akimbo, head held high, ”No need for you to know my name, just remember that the lady will be the one who beats you till you find your teeth everywhere!”

”Outrageous!”

The male cultivator’s momentum surged as he raised his long sword.

”Wait!” Jiang Yuebai dodged backwards, urgently stopping him, ”You seem quite injured, and I’m not ready either, take another rest, I’m not in a hurry.”

The male cultivator was taken aback but didn’t rush to act, instead cautiously recovering.

”Are you two going to fight or not? If not, get off, stop wasting everyone’s time.”

Below the ring, a burly man urged, Jiang Yuebai glanced over.

”Are you in such a hurry to grab a hot piece of shit to eat?”

Jiang Yuebai spat out the words, the air around the ring momentarily froze, the burly man’s eyes widened, it took him a while to react.

”Do you have the guts to say it again!”

Jiang Yuebai glanced at him disdainfully, lifted her foot and patted her boot, ”Just now, using your head for leverage, my shoe got dirty. Looking at your big and burly appearance, and the two axes you’re carrying, are you a bandit or a cultivator?”

”You!!” The burly man was burning with anger, ready to draw his blade.

Jiang Yuebai ignored him, instead pointing to people below one by one.

”What are you laughing at, with those feathers on your head? Are you pretending to be a bird or a beast?”

”And you, why is the dog laughing? It’s annoying!”

”You, you, and you, standing all crooked. How weak can you be? I could crush your heads with one punch.”

The whole place fell silent, only Jiang Yuebai’s voice echoed, taunting and insulting them one after another, every word piercing, directly sparking collective outrage.

The male cultivator on the stage looked bewildered, unsure what Jiang Yuebai was doing, though he had a very bad premonition.

”You bitch, you’re asking for death!!”

Jiang Yuebai’s disdainful gaze swept over the crowd below, who wished to tear her apart.

”If you have the guts, all of you come at me! The preliminary rules don’t specify one-on-one on stage. I’m just saying, I could spit and drown you all out.”

”Also, I’m not targeting anyone specifically. I just want to say, you’re all useless!”

As soon as the words fell, the air froze, like the buildup of energy before an explosion, suddenly reaching a peak.

Boom!

The wrath of thunder erupted across the venue, as the burly man furiously drew his starving blade.

”I’ll chop you to pieces!”

”Fellow cultivators, kill her!!”

Heavy shadows leaped from around the stage, eyes ablaze with fury, unleashing magic artifacts and talismans to attack Jiang Yuebai.

The male cultivator on stage was terrified and unable to defend himself in time, trampled by the crowd.

Facing the overwhelming assault, a glimmer sparked in Jiang Yuebai’s eyes, and she smirked.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ten-by-ten meter stage blazed brightly with incessant roars, while cultivators below widened their eyes, watching Jiang Yuebai move like a shadow in the chaotic stage, unfazed by spells and talismans.

A punch shattered bones.

”One!”

A flying kick hit the groin.

”Two!”

An elbow struck the face.

”Three!”

A knee struck the chin.

”Four!”

A Divine Dragon swung its tail.

”Five, six, seven!”

Tailang Whip!

Snap!

The crisp sound of the whip echoed repeatedly.

Fiery waves surged wildly.

In just a few breaths, amid groans and cries of pain with the sound of bones breaking, finishing with fiery waves, over twenty cultivators flew off the stage like blossoms, crashing into the crowd.

Only a few managed to stand on stage with protective magical artifacts.

Jiang Yuebai retracted the Tailang Whip, her clothes fluttering in the wind, smiling as she did.

”Eight, nine, ten, done!”

Everyone gaped as they saw ten light marks glow on the Conference Card at Jiang Yuebai’s waist, dazzlingly bright.

Only now did people on and off the stage realize they fell for her trap!

In the chaos, they had no time to use techniques and were surprised by Jiang Yuebai’s powerful attacks.

Thinking they’ve struggled through several rounds while Jiang Yuebai scored ten consecutive wins in less than time for a cup of tea...

Mentality, shattered!

Jiang Yuebai raised an eyebrow, her smile lively, ”Thank you all for your righteous assistance today, I’ll be leaving first.”

With a Sky-Breaking Flash, Jiang Yuebai instantly left the stage, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Leaving behind bewildered, furious, enraged people with nowhere to vent, roaring and shouting on the stage.

”Ahhhh, I’ll offer ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones to find out who she is, I’ll hack her to pieces!!!”

While the stage seethed with anger, the clever ones below already darted their eyes, sneakily moving to other distant stages.
