I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 376: Chapter 338: (Revised) Primordial Magnetic Ruler

Central area of Thunder Marsh.

Xie Jingshan swept his sword horizontally, fiery flame sword aura cutting into the darkness, causing explosions and layers of firelight.

More than ten Thunder Beasts hadn’t even reached the two of them before being detonated in the air, sweeping with leftover power, resonating thunderously.

”Are you done yet? These Thunder Beasts are endless to kill!”

Xie Jingshan stared ahead, turned his face slightly, shouting towards Jiang Yuebai not far behind.

They had been in Thunder Marsh for more than ten days, slightly deviating from the original route towards the central area for Jiang Yuebai to mine more magnetic stones.

Today, unexpectedly found a large area of top-grade magnetic stones buried underground, then stopped to excavate.

The roaring wind carried black sand endlessly, Jiang Yuebai’s clothes flapped as she stood under the rolling thunderclouds, controlling the Taihe Umbrella with Feathered Agility with Wind-Powered Force, frantically digging the black iron ore below.

Earth and stone splashed, Primordial Magnetic Ruler suspended above, continuously absorbing shattered magnetic stones.

Crash!

Several bolts of wild thunder struck down above Jiang Yuebai’s head, black light flashed on the Primordial Magnetic Ruler, the thunder bent in the air, all striking on the Primordial Magnetic Ruler.

The Primordial Magnetic Ruler trembled, even devouring the surrounding lightning, converting into Primordial Magnetic Power, accelerating the absorption of the magnetic stones below.

Jiang Yuebai glanced up at the growing lightning in the clouds, furrowing her brows and speeding up.

The central area of Thunder Marsh is extremely strong in both lightning and Primordial Magnetic Power, her Sword Sky Puppet and Mining Puppet can no longer be used; once taken out they’re firmly stuck to the ground, unable to move.

Therefore, at this moment, she had to put away all metal items on her and personally control the Taihe Umbrella to mine.

Even so, once her spiritual energy is released, it’ll be disturbed by Primordial Magnetic Power, making her excavation inefficient.

”Just hold on a bit longer, almost done!”

Xie Jingshan’s black hair wildly danced in the wind, due to Primordial Magnetic Power, his Ten Thousand Jins heavy sword was difficult to lift.

At the depths of Thunder Marsh, golden thunderstorm and black thunderstorm roared like two dragons, clash amidst clouds and rain, contending endlessly, the most terrifying Jian Palace Thunder and Water Thunder in Thunder Marsh.

Crash!

A bucket-thick silver thunder struck fiercely, Xie Jingshan staggered back several steps before steadied himself.

Ahead, black clouds surged, arcs of electricity splashed, gradually forming a three-zhang tall, fierce looking thunder giant spirit.

The giant spirit is imposing, its entire presence reaching late-stage Golden Core.

The giant spirit raised its hand, thunder tearing through space, transforming into a silver gleaming, crackling long spear in its hand, hurling fiercely at Xie Jingshan.

Xie Jingshan’s pupils slightly dilated, his left hand drew, Gale Sword Intent gushed out, forming a cyan shield in front of him.

Boom!

The thunder long spear struck fire flower on the cyan wind shield, sword aura soared from Xie Jingshan, unwavering one step back, left hand continuously directing Gale Sword Intent to stabilize the wind shield, right hand swung sword to slash out Heaven-Burning Sword.

The giant spirit opened its mouth to roar, surrounding lightning quickly gathered towards it, forming a lightning flower of silver light splashing ahead.

Black Dog Huo Dou leaped from the flames, fiercely colliding with the lightning flower.

The expected fierce explosion didn’t occur, Xie Jingshan saw in the roaring wind, firelight intertwined with electric glow, the Huo Dou formed by flames got faintly absorbed into the lightning flower’s center like confronting a Cannibal Flower.

Was the power of his flame sword aura insufficient? Or was there something strange about this giant spirit’s body?

The red glow of flames was controlled, flowing like blood into the lightning flower’s center, as a bloodthirsty grim smile rose on the giant spirit’s face.

Boom!

Firelight and thunder glow collided in the flower center, echoing like sky-breaking thunder, countless dazzling thunder lights pounded like storm at Xie Jingshan.

Xie Jingshan’s brow twitched, grabbed a cyan long sword with his left hand, faced with electric glow like ten thousand arrows to the heart, dual swords slashed together.

Gale Sword Intent and Heaven-Burning Sword Intent rotated and intertwined, wind aided fire power, swiftly cutting out like lightning.

Poof!

Weak penetration sounds came from the wind, the Ten Thousand Thunder Arrows about to strike Xie Jingshan dissipated suddenly between heaven and earth.

Xie Jingshan’s expression cold and stern, slowly lifted his gaze, the giant spirit was wrapped in a large ball formed by cyan Gale Sword Intent, flaming sword aura pierced the giant spirit’s chest quietly exploding within the ball.

”Compete with me in speed? Doesn’t know my Gale Sword Intent is reputed...!!”

Before Xie Jingshan finished his words, three giant spirits again slowly rose amid wild wind and thunder, the one in the middle seemed just exploded, it still knew him, at this moment mocked him with its gaze.

”Damn it!!”

Xie Jingshan raged furiously, wishing to throw his sword and quit.

Just then, Jiang Yuebai rushed out from behind him, waved and cast out the Primordial Magnetic Ruler.

The simple, somewhat worn ruler spun in mid-air killing to face three giant spirits, Primordial Magnetic Power pulled black sand below forming a tornado, three giant spirits retreated frightfully, their black mist and lightning absorbed into the tornado.

In the blink of an eye, the giant spirit bodies scattered, leaving only a few magnetic stones suspended in the air, then smashed one by one by the Primordial Magnetic Ruler absorbing.

Boom!

Raging thunder struck down, hitting the Primordial Magnetic Ruler directly, with silver arcs rippling outward.

Jiang Yuebai glanced back and tossed two Jade Talismans to Xie Jingshan.

”Someone’s coming, let’s retreat first.”

Xie Jingshan returned to his senses, hurriedly activated the Divine Concealment Talisman and Turtle Breath Talisman, making his body vanish from sight.

Jiang Yuebai released the Crane Feather Avatar to run deeper into Thunder Marsh, while his main body, invisible, carried Xie Jingshan flying low and swiftly departed.

Within the time of a cup of tea, a male and female Mid-Stage Golden Core cultivator arrived, inspecting the large pit in the ground and the battle marks nearby.

”The thunder here is quite unusual; surely there is a rare treasure emerging, but sadly, someone got here first.”

”There are footprints heading deeper into Thunder Marsh.”

”It might be a trick, be cautious, let’s pursue and see.”

Jiang Yuebai ran wild with Xie Jingshan day and night without pause, finding a plain depression with sparse thunderclouds and no Thunder Beasts.

After retrieving the Crane Feather Avatar, Jiang Yuebai set up a Great Array for protection and concealing their traces, finally sitting down to take a deep breath.

She took out the Primordial Magnetic Ruler; the once stone-like ruler was now pure black, faintly metallic in shine, with the sand containing Primordial Magnetic Power, no longer purely an Earth Element Spiritual Artifact.

After Core Formation, Jiang Yuebai began to feel that everything in this world is not purely the Five Elements but mixed together.

Suddenly thinking of something, Jiang Yuebai raised the Primordial Magnetic Ruler towards the sky, a silver lightning shot down, striking the ruler directly, with the surging Thunder Elemental Power pouring into Jiang Yuebai’s body, tempering her organs inside out.

Simultaneously, the thunder here felt unusual to her, like fire and water, dominating different attributes, intertwining and contending.

[You guide lightning to strike yourself, tempering your whole body, Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique Organ Realm skill level +66]

[You absorb the lightning, gaining an insight, Five Thunders Righteous Method skill level +22]

[Miss, you have quite the thunder addiction!]

”Jiang Yuebai, are you crazy? Who guides lightning to strike themselves?”

Xie Jingshan simply couldn’t understand this madwoman, yet is her body a Magic Treasure or something? Struck so much but still unscathed?

Jiang Yuebai put away the Primordial Magnetic Ruler, ”You don’t get it; this feeling is... quite thrilling.”

Xie Jingshan: ......

”Recover quickly; I’ll keep watch around.”

Jiang Yuebai sent the Sword Sky Puppet out to patrol; here, the Primordial Magnetic Power wasn’t so strong, and the Sword Sky Puppet could be used.

Xie Jingshan sighed, propped himself up and sat cross-legged in meditation.

After a patrol by the Sword Sky Puppet, besides a few Thunder Beasts wandering the plain, no other cultivators were found.

Jiang Yuebai temporarily relaxed, taking out the Undying Vine Root she had nurtured with her blood for a period.

Transforming her left index finger slowly into a White Vine, Jiang Yuebai cautiously controlled the White Vine to wrap around the blood-colored root stalk in her hand, grafting it onto herself according to the Spirit Plant Grafting Method.

The Undying Vine can sustain the life of those on the verge of death; this trait is extremely rare, and if the graft succeeds, her White Vine will possess such a trait too.

While gently attempting the grafting, Jiang Yuebai split a Divine Thought, taking out the Reincarnation Scripture given by Buddha Venerable Wochen to read.

It mentioned things like the Netherworld, Three Lives Crossing, Reincarnation Platform, Rebirth Pool, and the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Different from the Daoist concept of life and death reincarnation, but intriguing to peruse, serving as a relaxation.

At that time, deep within Thunder Marsh.

The two pursuing Jiang Yuebai cultivators, after losing her trace, stumbled upon a remote area discovering a black lake.

Blood-Colored Array Flags fluttered around, the lake water as black as ink, impenetrable by Divine Sense, giving a thick, chilly feeling.

The pair exchanged a glance, approaching cautiously, feeling the cold aura infiltrate everywhere as they got closer.

”This seems to be Water Thunder condensed into substance.” The female cultivator, knowledgeable, speculated.

The male cultivator’s eyes lit up, ”Let me take some to see.”

”Wait!”

The female cultivator’s warning was too late; the male cultivator had just stepped half a step forward when two black streams surged from the lake, overwhelming him unstoppably.

The male Mid-Stage Golden Core Cultivator had no defense against the condensed Water Thunder and was dragged into the lake in an instant, becoming a pile of bones.

The female cultivator, horrified, turned to flee, unexpectedly crashing into a silhouette.

Blood sprayed, a head rolled, and a bloody Golden Core flew out of the body.

Before dying, the female cultivator only saw atop the abnormally tall ’man’ a pair of pointed black horns.
