I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 423: Chapter 382: Fusion into One

Jiang Yuebai found herself in an ethereal state, that single drop of Emperor’s Liquid resembled the Qi Elixir vortex during her Core Formation, pulling all her Divine Soul and Divine Thought into it with immense suction.

It was also like a drop of sweet dew, spreading across every leaf and root of the Cloud Mushroom Grass, melding her entity and Divine Soul seamlessly, akin to the blood and flesh of a body, becoming one.

Grass and Wood Demons, born of Spiritual Wisdom, have nature but no fate.

Nature refers to mind and thought.

Fate refers to body and life.

The greatest effect of Emperor’s Liquid on grass and wood is to grant them a ’flesh and blood body’ like humans, allowing grass and wood to possess both nature and fate, and truly set foot on the path of cultivation.

Without Emperor’s Liquid, Grass and Wood Demons might take a hundred years to cultivate a fated body.

The moon in Jiang Yuebai’s heart approached perfection in the radiance of Emperor’s Liquid, the fourth pair of leaves on her body quickly matured, and a fifth pair emerged.

The entire Cloud Mushroom Grass emitted the brilliance of a bright moon, the Divine Soul and the entity fused, and a round Moonlight Elixir Pill slowly formed at the center of her entity.

This is akin to the Golden Core of the Human Clan, a Divine Elixir for the Demon Clan.

The Female Phoenix and Male Phoenix excitedly flapped their wings, witnessing the birth of another emerging talent of the Demon Clan.

The moment the Divine Elixir fully congealed, rumbling thunder sounds came from the sky.

A shadow of a lock, formed by a Tree Vine, flashed across the Cloud Mushroom Grass, causing the yet-to-gather Heavenly Tribulation to dissipate without a trace.

This was the lock the Divine Tree once mentioned, preventing her from completely turning into a demon unless she willingly opened it to undergo tribulation, forsaking all as a member of the Human Clan to fully transform into a demon.

Jiang Yuebai’s Divine Thought once again entered the domain of the Divine Tree, seeing a Divine Tree Spirit somewhat resembling the Supreme Elder.

The elder stretched lazily, yawning, ”I have fulfilled all my promises to you. Have you prepared to serve by my side for sixty years?”

Jiang Yuebai transformed into her human form, ”Can I go home once? For such a big matter, I must inform my Master and Grandmaster in person. Moreover, I have yet to return to my original form to verify if the transformation is truly perfect, and my friend is still in the Demon Clan, I need to send him back...”

Phew—

The Divine Tree fell asleep again.

Jiang Yuebai felt so weary; staying by such a tree for sixty years, what could she learn? How many questions could she ask in a year?

Jiang Yuebai sat beside the Divine Tree, leaning close to its ear, and shouted, ”Would you let me return to my original form first?”

”Huh? What did you say?” the Divine Tree was startled awake, ”Original form? What original form?”

Here we go again, Jiang Yuebai sighed.

”If you keep this up, I might just go back home.”

The Divine Tree stretched its limbs and yawned, ”Alright, alright, I’ll let you return to your original form. Also, take this.”

The Divine Tree pulled out a strand of hair from its head, transforming into a tree branch covered in tender leaves.

”As a follower of the Divine Tree, you may ask for one request or item. I’ve seen your original form; you’re following Lu Xingyun’s Great Derivation Path, right?”

Jiang Yuebai asked in surprise, ”You recognize the founder of our Heavenly Interence Sect?”

”Having lived so long, few people remain in my memory, but she is one. During the time of the Heavenly Calamity, when the Human Clan sought to annihilate the Demon Clan, she argued that everything exists for a reason, destroying demons equals destroying humans. She single-handedly turned the tide, protecting tens of thousands of Demon Clan members back to the Western Demon Realm, and the Demon Clan owes her a debt of gratitude.”

”Over the years, for all descendants of the Heavenly Interence Sect who arrive at the Demon Realm, I have instructed each clan to treat them kindly and present them with gifts upon departure. You are the second I’ve seen walking her path.”

”The second? Who was the first?”

Jiang Yuebai curiously asked, knowing her Master had never been to the Demon Realm, and the Great Derivation Scripture couldn’t be cultivated, how did the Divine Tree discern that she was following the founder’s path?

The Divine Tree rubbed its eyes sleepily, handing the branch to Jiang Yuebai.

”She was also a female cultivator, traveling everywhere, stayed in the Demon Realm for two years, but I can’t recall her name. But she was a normal human cultivator, with Cultivation Techniques and Lifebound Magic Treasure the same as yours, also using a spear. Before leaving, I also gave her a branch. Counting this one, I’ve only given out six branches in my lifetime.”

”Wuwei Mountain Man?”

”Forgot...forgot, put the branch into your Lifebound Magic Treasure...can...phew...”

The Divine Tree once again drifted into slumber, Jiang Yuebai accepted the Divine Tree’s branch, with little hope of gaining more answers.

Jiang Yuebai recalled in the collections after Wuwei Mountain Man achieved Core Formation mentioning her travels to the Extraordinary People Country and Demon Realm.

The key question is, why did the Divine Tree think she and Wuwei Mountain Man followed the ancestor Lu Xingyun’s Great Derivation Path?

Jiang Yuebai thought, the Divine Tree probably wouldn’t make a mistake, meaning that the Five Elements Returning to Truth Skill is also a part of Lu Xingyun’s legacy. But why didn’t Lu Xingyun place it in the Sect?

All tangled up, Jiang Yuebai felt a headache!

After scratching her head for a while, Jiang Yuebai decided to stop thinking about it, once she reached the Upper Realm, and found Wuwei Mountain Man to ask questions, everything would become clear.

In the coming days, she indeed must stay for sixty years in the Demon Clan, which is the ’cost’ of obtaining all these benefits.

Jiang Yuebai understood very well that the sixty years of cultivation in the Demon Realm would give her a different sentiment towards the Demon Clan.

In the future, even if she doesn’t become one of the protectors of the Demon Clan, it would be difficult for her to freely mistreat the Demon Clan like other humans, or even pursue them to extermination.

As for the so-called ’human bearing demon fate,’ whether it would lead her to other unexpected events, Jiang Yuebai could not know at this moment.

Jiang Yuebai stood up, all preparations were complete, now it was time to return to her original form, otherwise, she always felt uneasy.

Just as she was about to wake the Divine Tree, the scene before her flickered, and her Divine Thought was expelled from the Divine Tree’s spiritual realm, returning to the Phoenix Nest.

The Male Phoenix flew back from beneath the Divine Tree, gripping a piece of round wood, dropping it next to the Cloud Mushroom Grass at the center of the Phoenix Nest. The round wood split open, revealing Jiang Yuebai’s sleeping body inside.

When she first entered the realm of the Divine Tree to cultivate, she thought it over and decided to place her body beneath the Divine Tree.

Whether it was to the Divine Tree or the Phoenix, her human body held little value, even with her Five Spirits Body, how could it compare to an ancient Divine Tree and an ancient Phoenix?

On the contrary, at Tian Nanxing, even with a contract, Jiang Yuebai remained uneasy, especially after understanding the habits of the Orchid Herb Clan.

So, she asked the Female Phoenix for help, to transfer her body.

Now it appears, her choice was right; just look at the Male Phoenix, full of disdain, vigorously rubbing its claws on the tree branch, as if she were something filthy.

The Moonlight Flowing Cup had passed, with the demons bathing in the moonlight for cultivation.

Jiang Yuebai’s demon body leaves carried the glow of a full moon, extended a White Vine to attach onto her body, the White Vine rooted slowly from the chest, the entire Cloud Mushroom Grass gradually sunk into the body.

Jiang Yuebai’s sleeping body was reinvigorated with life, her black hair gradually lost its color, resembling countless strands of extremely fine White Vine, blooming into small white flowers.

Flower petals fluttered down, reflecting with the stars.

The Divine Tree Branch took root in Jiang Yuebai’s Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, as the sky turned pale, the light of the Golden Crow broke free from beneath the horizon, a streak of Golden Light also tore through the darkness within the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven.

Sudden gusts of wind arose, leaves fluttered, the entire demon realm’s Spiritual Energy was swept into a violent storm, injecting into Jiang Yuebai’s Dantian.

The Male Phoenix and Female Phoenix braced against the gale, protecting the Phoenix Egg, gazing in shock and fear at the white-haired maiden at the center of the nest, as if she was about to disappear, becoming one with the world.

At this moment, Jiang Yuebai was unaware of the changes outside, she felt as though transformed into a small tree, in the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, using her increasingly robust canopy to hold up the dark firmament, letting the light of the Golden Crow shine on the earth.

The cycle of day and night, the change of the seasons, grass and wood taking root, mountains and rivers gradually took shape...
