I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 847: Chapter 789: Escape (Yue Ticket Requested)

Heavenly Spear Realm, beneath Taixuan Mountain.

Shen Mingjing, who was fishing by the riverbank, raised his eyebrows after hearing Heiya’s report and turned to look at Heiya.

Back in Qingyun Realm, the only demon he had infiltrated was his trusted subordinate Heiya, who left early as instructed, thus avoiding disaster.

”Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi defected from the Heavenly Interence Sect? Is the information accurate?”

Heiya nodded, ”Our spy was present at that moment and witnessed it with his own eyes; it is absolutely true! Lord True Monarch, do you need us to continue investigating?”

Shen Mingjing turned his head, watching the calm river surface gradually ripple, as the original fish had been scared away by Heiya’s voice.

”This Qingyun Conference is not quite the same as before. Those Mahayana Immortal Monarchs are secretly manipulating the arena competitions, clearly selecting people for something. As for what they are selecting for, it’s obvious.”

”Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi are both among the top three in the Nascent Soul Stage, and now this happens, huh~ Who do they look down on? Just keep investigating; no need to meddle in other matters.”

”Yes!”

Heiya bowed and withdrew.

”Wait!”

Shen Mingjing raised his hand, pinching the bridge of his nose thoughtfully, and after a moment, he lowered his hand and laughed.

”It would be more interesting to counter with a plan. Take my token, send someone to find Lu Nanzhi, and invite her to the Heavenly Spear Realm. Tell her that what I previously discussed with her still stands.”

Heiya caught the token thrown by Shen Mingjing and transformed into a wisp of black smoke to disappear.

”Last time, she refused me outright; this time, she’ll have to obediently join me on a visit to the Demon Realm!”

Shen Mingjing retrieved his fishing rod, re-baited it, and cast it quietly, waiting for an unknown big fish to take the bait.

Taiwei Star Alliance, Three Platforms Realm.

Jiang Yuebai switched to a Puppet Avatar and entered this realm under the alias of Chenzhou Wanderer, finding a small workshop behind the battlefield to temporarily rest.

Fortunately, she had previously sought to legitimize Chenzhou Wanderer’s identity by contacting Xie Jingshan’s grandfather, True Venerable Tianbao. Through unknown connections, he indeed managed to get her a genuine identity token from the Taiwei Star Alliance.

Now, the existence of Jiang Chenzhou as a person in the Upper Realm is real, being the orphan of the Jiang Family from Three Platforms Realm, who were all killed over a hundred years ago.

True Venerable Tianbao is reliable; he even organized family records and member achievements, carefully crafting her story of survival and subsequent wandering from Three Platforms Realm.

Therefore, she entered Three Platforms Realm smoothly; upon hearing she was the Jiang Family orphan, everyone showed great respect.

They let her cut in line, personally verified her identity token, simplified all the procedures, and welcomed her return to her homeland, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

Previously, the Taiwei Star Alliance had completely lost ground; later, Immortal Monarch Wu Wei promptly returned to oversee, recapturing thirty percent of the lost territory in half a year. The southernmost defensive line of Three Platforms Realm is one of them.

In the workshop inn, Jiang Yuebai, dressed in red with black hair, put down the Night Ban Blade, secured every corner of the guest room, and sat beside the bed, taking a deep breath.

”I don’t know how Anan is doing; it’s been a period without entering dreams, and Thorn can’t contact her, alas...”

Back then, using the Michen Seal and Space Power for ultra-long distance teleportation, she, alongside two White Vine Avatars disguising as herself and Anan, confused their enemies and escaped those two Refining Void bastards.

Initially, they were together, but later, as their features were too distinct, they became difficult to conceal.

The Star Alliance issued a bounty, and various Transmission Arrays were scrutinized, with one almost exposing them, nearly caught by those two bastards.

Luckily, Anan had an unused Life-Saving Secret Technique left by Immortal Monarch Chongmin, though unfortunately only severely injuring the Fang Family bastard without killing him.

After that, to avoid the Star Alliance’s pursuit and divert attention, they had to split up.

Fortunately, Lu Nanzhi had another identity from back when she was in the Shaking Light Realm; she first escaped using the Cloud-Breaking Charge, while Jiang Yuebai remained disguised as Lu Nanzhi to mislead while preparing her transition to Chenzhou Wanderer.

After numerous twists and turns, it took over half a year to arrive here, near the battlefield amidst a mix of people, setting up a deception; if that bastard chased her, she’d disguise herself as a Demon Clan member and plunge into their rear lines, letting them fend off the persecution.

At this moment, her true self is in the Lotus Platform Small World, which she placed inside the Puppet Avatar, protected by layers of mechanisms, very safely.

She left hastily, not even bringing Bai Jiuyou, potentially leaving her as a wandering little orphan for a prolonged period.

However, that’s fine; she and Bai Jiuyou can sense each other. Her master knows this, confirming her safety through Bai Jiuyou.

Jiang Yuebai lay exhausted on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, her eyes dim.

”Now the two of us have escaped, the Heavenly Interence Sect has Shen Huaxi; they will surely get out of this unscathed. But what about Anan and me? What comes next?”

Jiang Yuebai lay for a moment, then suddenly sat up.

”Why, Immortal Monarch Fatian is crazy! What did I ever do to him, to be targeted like this?”

No matter how hard she tried, Jiang Yuebai couldn’t comprehend why it all started. When she thought about it too long, her head began to throb painfully.

She was always cautious and observant, so she couldn’t have offended Immortal Monarch Fatian with words; it must be something else.

”Forget it, damn it, I won’t rack my brain over this. At worst, I’ll be a loose cultivator, wandering for a while. When Senior Wuwei successfully steps into Mahayana, I’ll find her, ask her to take me in, and then I’ll investigate from scratch!”

”And the Fang Family, the Xiong Family, the scums of Heavenly Star Sect, I won’t let a single one off. Let’s see who laughs last!”

Jiang Yuebai composed herself, got up, and stretched. This puppet body was vivid and lifelike; as long as the skin wasn’t cut open, it was just like a normal person’s.

And it was the mature form she liked, delightful!

The puppet was also equipped with various runes and talisman arrays to hide its aura and isolate it from probing, so even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator wouldn’t see through her puppet body.

Jiang Yuebai took out the Fixed Star Disc she had previously obtained from the Iron Palm Master. The marked location was in a direction completely opposite to the Taiwei Star Alliance.

Initially, she planned to head there, but she worried that those bastards from the Fang Family knew the location of the Iron Palm Master’s cave, or that other members of the Fang Family were stationed there, and going there would be walking into a trap.

So she changed her mind and headed toward the frontline battlefield instead.

Jiang Yuebai planned to train in the Three Platforms Realm for a few years, waiting until she’d fully tamed the Heaven Suppressing Seal and Unrestrained Brush, and mastered the first move of ”Burning Thirteen Spears” and Water Strike Three Thousand, before venturing to the Iron Palm Master’s abode.

If all went well, she’d play a game of what lies unseen under the lamp, and cultivate in seclusion there until reaching Divinity Transformation!

After making her plan, Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath and refocused her attention on the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven’s core.

At this moment, there was a little turtle on her forehead and a big turtle on the back of her snow-white long dress, all sitting under the old Rong tree filled with turtle leaves.

Beside her was Jixiang, painted with a black eye circle, and Little Green, hanging from the tree, every lantern covered with Turtle Seals.

Little Green was still asleep, painted with turtle upon turtle, leaving no clean space on the lanterns.

The Dream Demon Thorn lay on the ground, hugging its belly and laughing uncontrollably; its black body was the only one unafraid of Unrestrained Brush’s doodles.

Jixiang covered its mouth, its small black-bean eyes brimming with tears, gazing pitifully at Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai rubbed Jixiang’s head, ”I know you’re anxious, but don’t be in a hurry. Once I handle the Unrestrained Brush, I’ll fix your teeth immediately. This time it’s true, no lies.”

Jixiang flopped to the ground, tears streaming down its face.

Jiang Yuebai didn’t concern herself with it and lowered her gaze to the Heaven Suppressing Seal in the grass. Since entering the Lotus Platform Small World, except for once being kicked away by Bai Jiuyou, it had taken root there without moving.

After nearly a year of negotiations, the Heaven Suppressing Seal finally conceded, agreeing to submit to Jiang Yuebai under the condition that it resides in her Dantian, siphoning her Chaos Qi.

Siphon away then, as she could now absorb ambient energy and convert it into Chaos Qi, some could flow in from the spine and out through the spine, with a little leaking into the Dantian.

Except for that spine, her whole being was a mass of energy, so whether using a Dantian for cultivation had little impact on her.

The Heaven Suppressing Seal thought it could take advantage of her, but it had another thing coming!

For now, after her Divinity Transformation, she’ll be able to convert more Chaos Qi, then giving it a bit more wouldn’t matter. Ultimately, it would all become a ’treasure’ for her to put to work!

Jiang Yuebai gathered a ball of Chaos Qi, placing it before the mouth of the turtle and snake statue on the Heaven Suppressing Seal, while her other hand performed a special spell.

”I agreed to your terms, gave you Chaos Qi, so now don’t resist. Let me leave a Divine Sense Mark upon you. Rest assured, with me, you’ll live high on the hog and none stop roaring!”

The turtle and snake opened their mouths and consumed the Chaos Qi in one gulp, as Jiang Yuebai completed the hand technique.

After seven days of sacrificial refining, Jiang Yuebai finally felt a faint mind connection with the Heaven Suppressing Seal.

With the turtle seal on her forehead, Jiang Yuebai stood up from beneath the tree, her lips curling upward as the wind brushed her white hair, revealing the unsightly large black turtle beneath.

Jiang Yuebai waved, the Heaven Suppressing Seal light as a feather, landing in her palm.

”Worthless pen, now let’s see where you can run!”
