Chapter 345: Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect, the Number One Beauty of the Eastern Wasteland, Fallen

"Even at such a vast distance, my Luck still provided a warning."

"Clearly, if this Spirit Severing Demon truly escapes, it will affect more than just the Eastern Wasteland Continent."

"It might even affect the entire Immortal Cultivation World."

"That is why my Luck gave a warning in advance; that group of Demon Cultivators must be stopped."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He now considered himself to have learned the true power of the Luck Gu.

The Luck Gu, which gathers boundless Luck, can not only help him find all kinds of opportunities and various Treasures.

More importantly, it can also predict danger in advance, allowing him to take precautions against it.

This point is actually quite important.

Because many dangers appear without one's knowledge.

In this way, he can ensure his own safety to the greatest extent.

Boom~~

At this moment, the Luck Gu suddenly stirred.

A golden ball of Luck light instantly submerged into the depths of his sea of consciousness, transmitting a massive amount of information.

"Hmm, this is a Luck light ball, containing information about an opportunity."

"No way, is this for real? That valley sealed with the Spirit Severing Demon has something I need?"

"This is Taiyi Refined Gold? The legendary Taiyi Refined Gold that fell from the Immortal World?!"

Zhou Sui was startled.

He obtained information about this opportunity from the Luck Gu; it was a piece of special Mineral, Taiyi Refined Gold.

This kind of Mineral is indestructible.

Even if a Spirit Severing Venerable were to strike personally, they could not damage it in the slightest.

Even the most formidable Artifact Refiner in the Immortal Cultivation World could not melt this piece of Mineral.

It is simply immune to fire, lightning, water, and in short, immune to all methods.

Thus, this piece of Taiyi Refined Gold has remained in that valley, serving as a stone tablet, or even an Array eye.

Over ten thousand years, no one has been able to take it away.

"In that case, this trip is truly unavoidable."

"My Execution Immortal Sword Formula has already accumulated too much killing intent from all living beings."

"If I cannot find a carrier for it, this killing intent will erupt completely, causing massive damage."

"Without a doubt, this piece of Taiyi Refined Gold is the best carrier."

"Perhaps I can use this Mineral to refine a natal Flying Sword."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

He felt that this operation was killing two birds with one stone; not only could he eliminate the calamity of the Spirit Severing Demon, but he could also obtain the Taiyi Refined Gold, which could be described as having many benefits.

Previously, he had wanted to use the Object Seeking Gu to find similar Minerals.

But because the grade of this Mineral was too high, the Object Seeking Gu was unable to find it.

Yet he had not expected to use the power of the Luck Gu to obtain the whereabouts of this Mineral.

It could be considered an unintentional success.

"Interesting."

"It seems this Immortal Cultivation World is quite special."

"To think there are so many items from the Immortal World."

"Could it be that this Immortal Cultivation World has some special qualities?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He had already vaguely sensed the extraordinary nature of this world; the Evergreen Vine, the Taiyi Refined Gold, and numerous special techniques were not things that an ordinary Immortal Cultivation World could nurture.

This already surpassed the level of the world itself.

Even the Spirit World might not be able to find similar items.

Although he did not have many clues right now, he believed that as his cultivation level improved, he would sooner or later find the secret of this world.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Zhou Sui's figure flashed, and he immediately arrived at the Cave Abode where Xia Shuiyang resided.

At this very moment, Xia Shuiyang was cultivating, sitting cross-legged on a thousand-year Cold Ice Bed, circulating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, with massive cold Qi permeating the surroundings.

One could see that the aura on her body was becoming increasingly pure, her entire body as refined as jade.

Clearly, after long-term cultivation with Zhou Sui, the purity of her Jade Maiden Heart Sutra had become even higher.

Her whole person seemed to have been transformed into a Jade Maiden Body.

"Husband, why have you suddenly come to find me?"

"Could it be that you aren't going to find the other sisters?"

Seeing Zhou Sui, Xia Shuiyang's beautiful eyes were filled with joy; she had not expected her husband to come and find her.

"I didn't come to find you, it's just your turn."

Zhou Sui hugged her slender waist and teased her.

"Pah, you shameless man."

"Spit it out if you have something to say; I knew you didn't have any good intentions coming to see me."

Xia Shuiyang wished she could bite this bastard of a man; he just didn't know how to say sweet nothings to coax her.

He was always deliberately trying to annoy her.

"It's like this, do you know of a place called Demon Sealing Valley?"

Zhou Sui asked immediately.

This was intelligence he had obtained from the Precognition of his Luck Gu; that Spirit Severing Venerable Monster Beast seemed to be sealed within Demon Sealing Valley.

Unfortunately, he did not have a particularly deep understanding of the Eastern Wasteland Continent.

Even though he had previously dispatched a clone to the Eastern Wasteland Continent, how could that compare to a native Cultivator like Xia Shuiyang?

Therefore, he found Xia Shuiyang at the first opportunity to ask about the relevant matters.

"Demon Sealing Valley? That place is quite famous."

"It is right near my Hehuan Sect."

"It is rumored that a Spirit Severing Venerable Monster Beast is sealed in this place."

"And my Hehuan Sect is stationed in this area precisely to guard this Spirit Severing Venerable Monster Beast."

"To prevent this Spirit Severing Venerable Monster Beast from breaking the seal and escaping, thereby causing a great catastrophe."

"Could it be that something has happened at Demon Sealing Valley?"

Hearing this, Xia Shuiyang was startled.

One must know that the Spirit Severing Venerable sects of the Eastern Wasteland Continent basically all guard a Spirit Severing Venerable Monster Beast, and the Hehuan Sect is no exception.

If any accident were to truly occur, then the Hehuan Sect would certainly suffer heavy losses.

Even being wiped out would not be an impossibility.

"That's right."

Zhou Sui immediately told Xia Shuiyang about the things he had foreseen, indicating that Demon Sealing Valley might face a major problem.

"So that's how it is."

"Husband, are you planning to go and stop that group of Fourth-tier Demon Cultivators to prevent that Monster Beast from escaping?"

"I happen to have a map of the Eastern Wasteland Continent."

"According to this map, Husband can know every part of the Eastern Wasteland Continent very clearly."

Xia Shuiyang immediately understood Zhou Sui's thoughts.

She took out the map of the Eastern Wasteland Continent from her person.

It is naturally impossible for ordinary Cultivators to obtain a map of the Eastern Wasteland Continent.

But as the Senior Sister of the Hehuan Sect, obtaining such a thing was as easy as turning over one's hand.

"Don't you want to return to the Hehuan Sect?"

Zhou Sui asked.

He knew that Xia Shuiyang had not returned to the Hehuan Sect for a very long time.

"Forget it."

"Even if I go back to the Hehuan Sect, it doesn't have much meaning; it's better to stay on Xuanhuang Island."

"Staying here, my cultivation speed is actually faster, and I have hope of ascending to Spirit Severing Venerable in the future."

"But if I go back to the Hehuan Sect, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity."

"And more importantly, now I no longer want to become the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect."

"Your concubine now only wants to be Husband's little darling wife and bear children for Husband."

Xia Shuiyang blinked her pair of pure, large eyes, looking just like an eighteen-year-old girl in the prime of her youth; her large eyes were very pure and innocent, as if she were untainted by the world.

Who would know that she was actually a young woman who had Mastery of everything in private.

"You little demon."

"You really do need to be disciplined."

How could Zhou Sui hold back? Of course, there was no need to hold back.

"Giggle."

Xia Shuiyang giggled, looking very proud, because she had done it on purpose.

Soon, sounds of the Dao spread throughout the Cave Abode.

……

One day later.

Eastern Wasteland Continent, Hehuan Sect region.

Near Hundred Flowers City.

A dense forest.

At this very moment, a group of Hehuan Sect female Cultivators were returning toward Hundred Flowers City.

Due to the appearance of the Boundary Gate, a large number of Monster Beasts had also surged out onto the Eastern Wasteland Continent.

Although, thanks to the suppression by Spirit Severing Venerable, the major sects had not suffered attacks from countless Monster Beasts like the many Nascent Soul Sects in the Canglan Sea.

However, the appearance of a large number of Monster Beasts had caused Human Cultivators to suffer unprecedented heavy losses.

Many Human Cultivators had died miserably at the hands of these Monster Beasts.

It could be said that during this period, the entire Eastern Wasteland Continent had begun to fall into chaos.

News of Monster Beasts slaughtering cities would spread from time to time.

And this group of Hehuan Sect female Cultivators was precisely under orders to exterminate the Monster Beasts near Hundred Flowers City.

To avoid these Monster Beasts crashing into Hundred Flowers City and thereby affecting the business of Hundred Flowers City.

"My god, how could there be such a deep ravine here?"

"And it is permeated with astonishing sword intent?!"

A Hehuan Sect female Cultivator was suddenly startled; she saw a terrifying ravine in the forest that seemed to span a thousand miles, and the sword intent deep within the ravine made her feel as if needles were pricking her back.

As if it would not dissipate for a thousand years.

"It is said that more than a hundred years ago, a great battle between Nascent Soul Cultivators took place in this area."

"A Fourth-tier Sword Cultivator even appeared."

"This mysterious Fourth-tier Sword Cultivator unleashed only a single sword strike and slaughtered the Four Devils of the Li family."

"And this sword strike spanned a thousand miles, leaving behind a terrifying sword intent that would not dissipate for a thousand years."

"To this day, a large number of Sword Cultivators still come to this ravine from time to time to comprehend the supreme sword intent."

Another Golden Core Cultivator recounted the origin of this ravine.

Clearly, this place had already become a famous historical site in this region, and many Cultivators came here by reputation.

After all, the fact that a sword intent that would not dissipate for a thousand years was left here was simply terrifying.

It could be called a holy land for Sword Cultivators.

Even gaining a slight insight is of immense benefit to a Sword Cultivator.

"Senior Sister, I heard that it was also during that time that our Hehuan Sect Great Elder Xia Shuiyang went missing."

"It is said that it also has a great deal to do with that mysterious Sword Cultivator."

"I don't know if this matter is true or false."

Many Hehuan Sect female Cultivators asked curiously.

"As for that, it's all been over a hundred years; no one knows the truth of that matter."

"It is said that because of this, the Sect Master was furious and even took action personally to search for the traces of Elder Xia."

"Unfortunately, to this day, there is no way to find any traces of Elder Xia."

"But Elder Xia's disappearance must have a great deal to do with that mysterious Sword Cultivator."

The Golden Core Cultivator said in a deep voice.

"If that's the case, isn't Elder Xia dead?"

The women were taken aback.

Because Xia Shuiyang is no ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, but the chief disciple of the Hehuan Sect Sect Master, hailed as the next Hehuan Sect Sect Master.

The death of such a seed for the Spirit Severing stage is simply a huge loss for the Hehuan Sect.

"As for that, she is not dead yet."

"Because Elder Xia's Soul Lamp has not been extinguished and is still burning brightly."

"It can only be said that Elder Xia has gone missing, and no one knows where she went."

"Some rumors say that perhaps Elder Xia eloped with that mysterious Sword Cultivator, which is why there has been no sign of her to this day."

The Golden Core Cultivator said mysteriously.

Eloped with a man?!

Hearing this, the eyes of the women suddenly lit up, very excited; what they loved most was hearing this kind of gossip, especially gossip about a Nascent Soul Elder, which was even more fascinating.

Boom~~~

But just at this moment, three fierce birds suddenly flew in from above the sky, their bodies erupting with a terrifying, ferocious aura that swept across a radius of a thousand miles.

Fourth-tier Beast, Golden Flame Demon Eagle!

They were all at the Fourth-tier Low-Grade realm.

But for these Hehuan Sect female Cultivators, they were irresistible natural enemies.

After all, their cultivation was comparable to a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

This group of Hehuan Sect female Cultivators was at most in the Golden Core Realm; how could they be their opponents?

"It's over."

Seeing these three Fourth-tier Golden Flame Demon Eagles, the many Hehuan Sect female Cultivators turned deathly pale, revealing expressions of despair.

They did not expect that they would be so unlucky.

On the way back to Hundred Flowers City, they actually encountered a Fourth-tier Beast.

It was as if the heavens were going to destroy them.

They had the worst luck in eight lifetimes.

"Oh, it seems to be a group of Human female Cultivators, the strongest of which is only at the Third-tier realm."

"Haha, our luck is truly too good; Human female Cultivators have fine skin and tender meat, they are the most delicious food."

"It just so happens that we are tired from our journey; let's eat them all to whet our appetites."

The eyes of the three Golden Flame Demon Eagles revealed a trace of ferocity.

Even if these Hehuan Sect female Cultivators had Mastery of the Charm Technique, that could only be directed at Human Cultivators.

It had no great effect on the Demon Race.

In the eyes of these beasts, it was just like how Humans see pigs; there was no feeling at all.

They simply regarded these Human Cultivators as food.

No matter how beautiful a pig is, it is still just a pig, with no meaning to speak of.

Boom~~

The next second, they had no intention of wasting words with the Hehuan Sect female Cultivators; a giant eagle claw slammed down, forming a massive flame claw shadow.

This single strike alone could cover a hundred miles and destroy the heavens and the earth.

Even a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator would likely be severely injured if they encountered this strike.

Let alone the fact that they were merely Golden Core Cultivators.

"I didn't expect that we would just die like this."

The many Hehuan Sect female Cultivators' faces turned pale to the extreme; they could only close their eyes and wait for death.

Facing this power, which was like a natural disaster, they had no power to resist.

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking in front of the many Hehuan Sect female cultivators, and gently raised a palm.

Thud!

Instantly, this huge flame claw shadow dissipated in an instant, as if it had struck the vast ocean, being nullified into nothingness.

Not even a trace of a shockwave could harm this group of Hehuan Sect female cultivators.

What?!

The many Hehuan Sect female cultivators widened their beautiful eyes, looking at the tall and straight figure before them; every one of them revealed a joyful expression of having escaped death, as they had not expected that there would be another Cultivator to save them.

One by one, they looked at this Cultivator who had appeared so suddenly.

They were shocked to discover that the one who had saved them was actually a male Cultivator, and he was red-lipped and white-toothed, peerlessly handsome.

Especially that pair of Peach Blossom Eyes, which were like stars, capable of absorbing their very Soul.

Even though they were Hehuan Sect female cultivators who were accustomed to seeing handsome men.

They were still afraid that this was their first time seeing such a handsome man.

If it weren't for their fear of the Fourth-tier Beast flying in the sky, they might have already become infatuated.

Of course, the person who appeared in this place was naturally a clone of Zhou Sui.

He had taken the Teleportation Array from Xuanhuang Island and arrived at the Eastern Wasteland Continent once again.

The location of the teleportation was naturally the hidden valley where Xia Shuiyang had been abducted last time.

After all, this place was the closest to the Hehuan Sect.

If he had gone elsewhere, he would not have known when he might reach the Hehuan Sect.

However, when Zhou Sui walked out of the Teleportation Array and wanted to head to the Demon Sealing Valley, he happened to encounter this group of Hehuan Sect female cultivators.

Although he had no friendship with this group of Hehuan Sect female cultivators.

But who told him that his Dao Companion was the Senior Sister of the Hehuan Sect.

More importantly, he was capable of helping, so he did a favor along the way.

Therefore, he made a move to block the attack of those Fourth-tier Beasts.

"Damn it, it's a Human Nascent Soul Cultivator."

"Not an ordinary Human Nascent Soul."

"To be able to block our attack so easily, he is likely at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, equivalent to Tier 4 Upper Grade."

"Flee, we cannot fight him head-on."

The three Fourth-tier Golden Flame Demon Eagles' expressions changed.

As Fourth-tier Beasts, their intelligence was not much different from that of Humans.

And because they had lived for so long, they were likely even more cunning than ordinary Humans, and very skilled at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Now that they had encountered such a terrifying Human Cultivator, they would naturally not foolishly remain where they were.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

In an instant, they rode the demon wind, flapping their wings, and immediately wanted to turn into a streak of golden light to escape from here, not even having the thought of engaging Zhou Sui in battle.

What?!

The many Hehuan Sect female cultivators were instantly stunned; they had not expected such a thing to happen.

Just a moment ago, these three Golden Flame Demon Eagles had been so arrogant.

Upon seeing them, they had immediately dealt lethal blows, with no intention of negotiating with them at all.

But now, upon seeing this mysterious Cultivator, they were actually scared into running away immediately.

Without a doubt, this mysterious Cultivator must be an extremely terrifying Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Otherwise, how could he have scared away these three Golden Flame Demon Eagles?

"Quite clever."

"Unfortunately, it is already too late."

Zhou Sui looked indifferently at the three Golden Flame Demon Eagles; he held a Flying Sword and gently swept it across.

Execution Immortal Sword Formula, second form—Slaughter Sword Light.

This was the killing intent from all living beings, merely the killing intent from his own body.

But even so, such power was not something that Fourth-tier Low-Grade Demon Cultivators could withstand.

Rumble~~

A black sword light struck out, as if tearing the sky in two; its speed was unimaginably fast, and it reached the three Golden Flame Demon Eagles in an instant.

"Oh no."

The three Golden Flame Demon Eagles' expressions changed drastically, every feather on their bodies stood on end, and they immediately activated their defensive technique—Golden Flame Shield.

Their entire bodies were wrapped in a mass of golden flames, forming a huge energy shield.

If many attacks approached this Golden Flame Shield, they would be easily blocked and unable to harm their physical bodies.

Unfortunately, when facing this Slaughter Sword Light, it was of no use at all.

With a puff, this black sword light swept past gently, as if cutting melons and vegetables, easily slicing the Golden Flame Shield open, and then slicing their massive bodies in two just like that.

Even the demon souls within them were the same, destroyed in an instant, as if they had been sliced by a thousand blades.

Immediately, the three huge fierce birds fell from mid-air, split into two halves.

A large amount of golden blood spilled onto the ground as if it were worthless, dyeing the earth golden yellow.

Their carcasses slammed heavily into the ground, creating a huge deep pit, with dust and smoke splashing everywhere.

Their eyes were wide open, truly dying with grievances.

Clearly, they had not expected that they would be so unlucky.

I was merely passing through this place by chance, yet I unexpectedly encountered a Sword Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

With just a single sword strike, he cleaved them to death.

They didn't even have the chance to struggle for a single second.

"No way, he killed three Fourth-tier Golden Flame Monster Hawks with just one sword strike?!"

Seeing this scene, the many female Cultivators of the Hehuan Sect were shocked beyond measure, their hearts churning with turbulent waves.

They felt that even compared to the Yuan Infant Elders of the Hehuan Sect, he was likely far inferior.

The man was suffused with a biting sword Qi, as if he had walked out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Normally, facing such a terrifying Sword Cultivator, they would certainly be scared to death.

Yet, this man was full of charm, making one feel completely secure.

This also meant they were not afraid of the man before them.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives."

"I wonder what your honorable name is, Senior? Our Hehuan Sect will certainly repay you."

At this moment, a Golden Core female Cultivator stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Sui.

"It was merely a small effort."

"We are all of the Human Race, so we should naturally help one another."

"There is no need for gratitude; let us not meet again."

Zhou Sui waved his hand.

With a wave of his large hand, he immediately placed the carcasses of the three Golden Flame Monster Hawks into his own Storage Bag.

After all, these were Fourth-tier Monster Beast carcasses, containing Fourth-tier Monster Cores and many other materials.

They could be considered extremely precious resources, so he naturally could not bear to leave them here.

After saying these words, his figure flashed, turning into a streak of light, and he instantly left this place.

Leaving behind only this group of beautiful and enchanting Hehuan Sect female Cultivators.

"Is this what a Sword Cultivator is? Killing a person every ten steps, not leaving a trace for a thousand miles—he truly is a Peerless Sword Immortal."

One Hehuan Sect female Cultivator's eyes were filled with a look of adoration.

She felt her heart fluttering.

To tell the truth, she had known what it meant to have a heart flutter for a long time, but this was the first time it had actually happened.

"Although our Hehuan Sect is a sect with a Spirit Severing Venerable, when it comes to combat methods, we are still far inferior to Sword Cultivator sects. It was just one sword strike, and he instantly killed three Golden Flame Monster Hawks; it is truly too terrifying."

Another Hehuan Sect female Cultivator sighed endlessly.

She felt her delicate body trembling.

It seemed as if the omnipresent sword intent still permeated the air; this killing intent was enough to pierce the firmament.

Even any living creature would be unable to survive such a terrifying sword strike.

To tell the truth, she had seen quite a few Sword Cultivators.

But she had never seen such a formidable Sword Cultivator; it was simply beyond imagination.

"To think he really acted just to save us, without asking for any reward—such Cultivators have almost gone extinct, haven't they?"

"Isn't that so? When ordinary men see us, which one of them isn't soul-struck with lust? They would likely demand we offer ourselves to them at the first opportunity, but this man was completely indifferent, as if he didn't see us at all."

"If it were this man, I would be willing even to offer myself to him; I would be willing to do it for free, even if it meant being a 'freebie' for him."

"To tell the truth, could it be that Elder Xia saw a Sword Cultivator like this in the past, got bewitched, and then eloped with him, never to return until now?"

"That is very possible. I was previously wondering why a woman would be willing to elope with a wild man, but if all wild men were like this mysterious Sword Cultivator, it wouldn't be hard to understand. Who could resist that?"

The many Hehuan Sect female Cultivators discussed among themselves.

They felt that if that man had stayed a little longer, perhaps they would have completely fallen and let him do whatever he pleased.

Unfortunately, the man did not give them such an opportunity.

Of course, Zhou Sui did not know what these Hehuan Sect members were thinking; he was now using his Evasion Technique, traveling a thousand miles in the blink of an eye, his speed reaching an unbelievable level.

With the map of the Eastern Wasteland Continent given by Xia Shuiyang, he felt as if he were as familiar with this place as his own home.

Even without any guide, he could easily find the specific locations of various places.

"It seems that during this period, the Eastern Wasteland Continent has become quite chaotic."

"Many Monster Beasts can actually be seen everywhere."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

After flying for only a short time, he noticed that the Eastern Wasteland Continent was completely different from before.

When he first arrived at the Eastern Wasteland Continent, there were not many Monster Beasts in this place.

Even if Monster Beasts truly existed, they were in those primeval forests and rarely appeared in human towns.

They hid in the depths of mountain ranges, using the terrain to their advantage to avoid being hunted by Human Cultivators.

But now, they had actually taken the initiative to leave the mountain ranges and started coming to places where humans lived.

They were even competing with humans for territory.

Therefore, there was slaughter everywhere on this land.

News of Monster Beasts slaughtering cities appeared at every turn.

Many Human Cultivators were exhausted from running around trying to exterminate the Monster Beasts.

Although the Eastern Wasteland Continent did indeed have Spirit Severing Venerables, the problem was that they were stretched thin, and there were only a few of them; how could they look after the entire vast and boundless Eastern Wasteland Continent?

So, even knowing that the Monster Beasts were rampant, burning, killing, looting, and destroying human cities everywhere, they could only temporarily endure it.

Unless these Monster Beasts formed large-scale Beast Tides to attack human nations one by one.

Unfortunately, these Monster Beasts were indeed very intelligent.

They are like roving bandits, looting a place and then quickly slipping away.

Even if many Human Cultivators want to catch them, it is not such a simple matter.

This has also caused the Eastern Wasteland Continent to be filled with smoke and fire, with wars and chaos everywhere.

It is even more chaotic than the Canglan Sea.

"Forget it, the Eastern Wasteland Continent doesn't have much to do with me anyway."

"In any case, there are so many Spirit Severing sects here, and many powerful experts; it's not my turn to deal with it."

"The most important thing now is the matter of the Demon Sealing Valley; I absolutely cannot let the Spirit Severing demon escape."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, a glimmer of light appearing in them.

For this operation, he also brought along the Teleportation Gu, Dream Soul Gu, Tribulation Thunder Gu, Array Heart Gu, and other Gu Insects.

After all, this is a Spirit Severing demon; no matter how cautious one is, it is not an exaggeration.

…………

Several more days passed.

Hehuan Sect, the main peak, Hehuan Peak.

This is the place where Hehuan Sect Sect Master Qiu Ruyu resides.

Inside a Cave Abode, a peerless beauty wearing a long white dress sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.

Looking from afar, she is simply a beauty like white jade, with a charming posture, stunning appearance, delicate and slender features, skin like goose fat, lips like cherry blossoms, eyebrows like ink paintings, and eyes like autumn water; she has an indescribable charm and sanctity.

She is simply like a Official Seal Bodhisattva.

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion, she is like a fairy descended from heaven, sacred and inviolable.

Her beautiful face is as pure as a sixteen-year-old girl, having never experienced any worldly affairs.

Her figure is also curvaceous and perfectly shaped, incredibly perfect, as if carved by a master.

There is not a single part that is imperfect.

To be honest, if an outsider were to see this woman, they would absolutely not believe she is the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect.

Instead, they would think she is a saintess from some righteous sect.

Therefore, such beauty is also hailed as the number one beauty in the East Wasteland, with countless suitors.

"The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra has indeed reached a bottleneck."

"The heavens and earth are flawed; it is already very difficult to cultivate to the Spirit Severing Perfection stage and ascend to the Spirit World."

At this moment, Qiu Ruyu opened her beautiful eyes, the depths of her pupils seeming to circulate with countless mysterious Runes, and dense, mysterious Runes also appeared on her fair skin.

Her entire body is like jade, flawless and crystal clear.

This is the special physique she possesses—the White Jade Body.

To be honest, this physique is extremely powerful and can seal all leakage of Qi from within the body.

Furthermore, the more one cultivates, the more formidable the physique becomes.

Do not be deceived by her charming, weak, and powerless appearance.

In fact, she is also a formidable Body Cultivator; her small hands can shatter mountain peaks and tear apart the earth at any time.

In the past, there were Cultivators who underestimated her combat power, only to be slapped into meat paste by her backhand; yet, the blood could not stain her skin—this is the strength of the White Jade Body.

Actually, this is also the credit of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

It is rumored to be a supreme technique from the Spirit World, of an extremely high grade.

It can use the Pure Yin Qi within the body to temper the physique; the deeper the cultivation, the more terrifying the physique.

And Qiu Ruyu is the first female Cultivator in the ten thousand years since the birth of the Hehuan Sect to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to the Spirit Severing stage.

Of course, this is all thanks to her White Jade Body.

This physique allows her to withstand the burning and torment of the Pure Yin Qi, preventing her from being tortured by the Pure Yin Qi and losing her sanity.

There are many rumors in the outside world that she is a natural stone woman.

This is truly ridiculous.

After all, if an ordinary natural stone woman could really cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, then over the past ten thousand years, who knows how many female Cultivators would have succeeded; it wouldn't be just her alone until now.

Only the White Jade Body can bear the torment of the Pure Yin Qi.

Moreover, the more she is tormented, the more powerful her White Jade Body becomes, expelling more impurities from her body.

This is just like real white jade; the more it is handled, the more crystal clear it becomes.

Of course, Qiu Ruyu is happy to see such rumors circulating in the outside world.

In this way, she can better conceal the secret of her physique.

Preventing enemies from discovering her true nature is beneficial and harmless.

However, as of today, Qiu Ruyu finds her cultivation increasingly difficult.

After all, she has ascended to the Spirit Severing stage, and the Pure Yin Qi in her body is dozens of times more intense.

Even her White Jade Body can barely withstand it.

Therefore, she stays in her Cave Abode, suffering the torment of the Pure Yin Qi at every moment.

"Does it really require finding Pure Yang Qi to neutralize it?"

"The problem is, which man can withstand the Pure Yin Qi on my body?"

"I'm afraid that as soon as they get close, they would have their Yang Qi sucked dry and turn into a skeleton."

Qiu Ruyu is helpless.

Because she is simply too powerful; at only sixteen hundred years old, she is already a Spirit Severing Initial Stage Cultivator.

This is a creature on a completely different level from ordinary Cultivators.

For an ordinary male Cultivator to want to Dual Cultivate with her is simply a pipe dream.

Merely approaching her body would result in being eroded by the Pure Yin Qi, instantly plundering the Yang Qi within one's body.

In an instant, one would be reduced to a dried corpse.

Unless it were a Spirit Severing Venerable of the same rank, it would be impossible to withstand the Pure Yin Qi within her body.

The pity is that the number of Spirit Severing Venerables is too small.

There are only four or five in the entire Eastern Wasteland Continent, and that includes her.

Moreover, those Spirit Severing Venerables are basically old and frail, with almost no Yang Qi left in their bodies.

It is impossible for the other party to sacrifice themselves to fulfill her Dao path.

"If only I could ascend to the Spirit World; I would surely find a solution there."

Qiu Ruyu sighed with emotion.

The pity is that ascending to the Spirit World is basically an impossible task.

Ever since the battle in the Ancient Era, when the demons invaded, the Ascension Platform was completely shattered.

Since then, no Spirit Severing Venerable has been able to ascend to the Spirit World.

Of course, if one could raise their cultivation to the realm of Spirit Transformation Completion, reaching the limit that the Immortal Cultivation World can accommodate.

In that case, the entire Immortal Cultivation World would repel you, forcing you to ascend to the Spirit World.

The problem is that the Immortal Cultivation World has long since lacked that many resources.

Even if a Spirit Severing Venerable becomes the hegemon of the Immortal Cultivation World, able to obtain all resources as they please.

But even so, compared to the Ancient Era, this current era is far behind, by an unknown margin.

In terms of cultivation resources alone, the difference is more than a thousandfold.

This has also led to the fact that for Spirit Severing Venerables of this era, reaching the Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage is the limit.

Wanting to cultivate to Spirit Transformation Completion before one's Longevity is exhausted is simply a pipe dream.

Don't look at the fact that she is only sixteen hundred years old now.

But she also has no confidence that she can cultivate to Spirit Transformation Completion before her Longevity is exhausted.

"There is only one way to ascend to the Immortal World now."

"That is to find a Space Node, break through this node, and form a temporary space channel, thereby smuggling oneself into the Spirit World."

"But not every Space Node is safe."

"Once the space channel is unstable, it is very easy to be torn apart by space turbulence, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's Dao."

"However, there is now a second option."

"That is to head to the Ancient Demon World."

"It is said that the Ancient Demon World seems to still have an Ascension Platform, which can be used to ascend to the Spirit World."

"The problem is, the Demon Race's Ascension Platform naturally leads to the Demon Race's base camp; using the Demon Race's Ascension Platform is purely seeking one's own death and is simply not advisable."

Qiu Ruyu pondered how to ascend to the Spirit World, which is also the greatest hope of every Spirit Severing Venerable.

Once one ascends to the Spirit World, not only can one advance further, but it is said that one's Longevity can also double.

A Spirit Severing Venerable staying in the Human World can live at most three thousand years.

But if it were the Spirit World, one could live six thousand years; the difference is a full twofold.

Every Spirit Severing Venerable on the Eastern Wasteland Continent is racking their brains to ascend to the Spirit World.

"However, even if one enters the Ancient Demon World, without using the Ascension Platform, there may still be many Space Nodes."

"In this way, one could utilize the Space Nodes of the Ancient Demon World to ascend to the Spirit World."

"Those old things from the Lishang Demon Palace, Taixu Sect, and Hunyuan Sect are all thinking this way."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Boundary Gate cannot yet accommodate a Spirit Severing Venerable, I fear they would have already set off for the Ancient Demon World."

A glimmer of light appeared in Qiu Ruyu's beautiful eyes.

She was not surprised that these few Spirit Severing old monsters made such a choice.

Because their Longevity is about to be exhausted.

If they do not ascend to the Spirit World, death is almost certain.

Even if they saved the Immortal Cultivation World, what of it? They would still die and their Dao would dissipate all the same.

Therefore, they simply cannot be bothered to care about the life or death of the Immortal Cultivation World; they only want to pursue their own path of longevity.

As for what will become of the Human Race in the Immortal Cultivation World, it has little to do with them.

One can only say that the other humans must fend for themselves.

"Hm?!"

"Damn it, it's the Demon Sealing Valley."

"To think a Demon Cultivator has set their sights on the Demon Sealing Valley."

"Are they trying to release the Spirit Severing demon trapped inside? What vicious Monster Beasts."

Just at this moment, Qiu Ruyu's expression changed, as if she had sensed something.

She was shocked to perceive that the Demon Sealing Valley near the Hehuan Sect had undergone earth-shattering changes; the original Fifth-tier Forbidden Array seemed to be crumbling and falling apart at this moment.

The Spirit Severing demon sealed inside the valley let out an excited roar, and a terrifying demon aura was released, forming a black storm, as if it wanted to take the opportunity to break free from the seal and escape from the valley.

To tell the truth, she knew the severity of this matter immediately.

If the Spirit Severing demon were truly allowed to break free from the seal, then the entire Hehuan Sect would be destroyed in an instant.

No, it is not just the Hehuan Sect.

Even the entire Eastern Wasteland Continent would suffer, with countless casualties, even more tragic than the Demon Race invasion.

Because this is no ordinary demon.

Even in the Ancient Era, it was a notorious demon that required the sacrifice of many human Spirit Severing experts to finally seal it completely; its name is—Qing Shi Mo.

Its combat power is extremely terrifying, and it possesses an undying body.

Ordinary abilities are fundamentally unable to kill it.

Only by using a Seal Array can the threat of the Green Lion Demon be resolved.

Once it escapes, I fear that given the current strength of the Immortal Cultivation World, no one will be able to do anything about it.

Swoosh!

In an instant, Qiu Ruyu's figure flashed, and she immediately flew out from the Cave Abode.

Almost in the blink of an eye, she arrived before Demon Sealing Valley.

She saw that Demon Sealing Valley, which had originally been covered in dense Forbidden Arrays, now had cracks appearing all over the valley; deep within the valley, a massive green lion seemed to be crouching, with a green face and fangs, covered in green fur, its body permeated with a terrifying demonic aura, and its massive frame at least a hundred zhang in size.

Even after being sealed for tens of thousands of years, its demonic might from back then has not diminished.

"I have finally broken free from the seal."

"Damned Humans, today I will slaughter you all."

The Green Lion Demon roared, beside itself with rage.

It had been imprisoned in the valley by a Human Transformation God Cultivator, unable to move for tens of thousands of years.

One can imagine that the hatred deep within its heart is simply monstrous.

Even the waters of the Three Rivers could not wash it clean.

At this very moment, it stood up from the depths of the valley.

The Rune chains that had originally bound its body were now shattering inch by inch, no longer able to suppress the power on its body.

The sky for a radius of one hundred thousand li was covered by black Demon Qi.

It blotted out the sun and sky.

Even sunlight could not penetrate this cloud of Demon Qi; it seemed as if the entire world had dimmed.

A terrifying Demon Domain of a Transformation God covered the area of one hundred thousand li.

It seemed that the dreadful demonic aura was devouring this land inch by inch, intending to erode this place into a Demon Domain.

"You wicked beast, get back in there."

A hint of baleful aura appeared in Qiu Ruyu's beautiful eyes; she waved her hand and immediately took out a massive white hammer from her person, which looked to weigh tens of thousands of kilograms and was even larger than she was.

Yet that fair, small hand was able to hold it lightly, Lift Heavy as Light, as if it were an ordinary weapon.

This feeling created a strong sense of incongruity.

No one expected that as the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, her natal Dharma Treasure would actually be a hammer.

This is a Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure—Prajna Hammer.

And this Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure has terrifying power; it can grow large or small, and a single strike down is like a ten-thousand-zhang mountain crashing down.

If an ordinary Transformation God Cultivator were struck, they would either die or be injured.

It can even reflect the enemy's techniques and other powers back at them, making it a weapon that integrates both offense and defense.

One must know that Qiu Ruyu herself is a terrifying Transformation God Body Cultivator, possessing a White Jade Body and infinite strength.

Possessing this Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure is simply a perfect match, like adding wings to a tiger.
