Free Web NovelChapter 580: Chapter 528: The War
The vast star river, the Cloud-Breaking Charge dragging a long tail, like a meteor, rushed towards the depths of the star river.
Inside the Cloud-Breaking Charge, Jiang Yuebai sat obediently beside Zhao Fuyi, nervously watching Bai Jiuyou.
Bai Jiuyou also behaved obediently, letting Zhao Fuyi’s hand press on her head, letting the Divine Sense probe into the Sea of Consciousness, observing her Primordial Spirit with the Ice Armor Beetle King Jade Dust as the core.
With some time passing, Bai Jiuyou winked mischievously at Jiang Yuebai, but Jiang Yuebai shook her head, telling Bai Jiuyou to behave.
Bai Jiuyou rolled her eyes, and Jiang Yuebai frowned.
Previously, the Supreme Elder Wenn Miao had already examined once, saying that Bai Jiuyou’s Primordial Spirit had no issues and was like a normal Refining Void Cultivator’s Outer Body Incarnation, everything was within a controllable range.
However, the drawback of an Outer Body Incarnation is that if Bai Jiuyou meets with any mishaps, she would also suffer Divine Soul damage, in a worst-case scenario, it could lead to the rupture of the Divine Infant, causing Cultivation regression.
Since Uncle Fuyi wasn’t present before, she wasn’t examined, but now as they head together to the Heavenly Spear Realm under the Ziwei Star Alliance, being idle, Uncle Fuyi might as well check again.
After probing for a full half-hour, Zhao Fuyi retracted her hand, and Bai Jiuyou hurriedly rubbed her hair, which felt slightly hot atop her head.
"How is it?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Zhao Fuyi thought for a moment before stating, "No major issues, your Divine Thought is well fused with the Insect King, with no presence of any other souls, nothing to worry about."
Jiang Yuebai asked puzzled, "Then why did you examine for so long?"
Zhao Fuyi explained, "I was inspired by the method of formation of that Primordial Spirit, suddenly gaining some insights, so I looked a bit longer. Your Outer Body Incarnation’s Primordial Spirit, although formed by accident, has traces to follow. If the Ice Armor Beetle King in it can be replaced with something else..."
Zhao Fuyi paused, falling into thought; the expressions and movements of the two individuals of different sizes in front were identical as they craned their necks to look at her.
Zhao Fuyi returned to her senses, "Sorry, I suddenly thought of a method. Let me verify it first, if feasible, perhaps it could allow cultivators below Refining Void to form an Outer Body Incarnation with this method."
Jiang Yuebai nodded eagerly, when it comes to talismans and array knowledge, Uncle Fuyi is undoubtedly an expert.
Zhao Fuyi glanced at Jiang Yuebai, observing her upright and meticulous sitting manner, feeling somewhat conflicted inside. She actually quite liked Jiang Yuebai’s relaxed and natural demeanor in front of Lii Jiuchuan.
However, when interacting with her own disciples, it usually held this serious and tense atmosphere, except for the single-minded Muh Wushuang and the often-crying Hee Wangchen.
Until now, she still doesn’t know how to be a master like Lii Jiuchuan.
"Ahem~" Zhao Fuyi coughed lightly, "Do you know the Ziwei Star Alliance is currently at war with the Demon Clan?"
"Huh?" Jiang Yuebai turned her head in shock, and locked eyes with Bai Jiuyou, wide-eyed; this was indeed news to her.
Zhao Fuyi spoke slowly, "Outside the North Pole are three major Star Alliances: Ziwei, Taiwei, and Tianshi, governing one-hundred and forty Constant Realms, with countless smaller realms that arise and perish unceasingly. Southeast of the North Pole, there is a Demon Abyss leading to the Demon Realm, difficult to seal and destroy."
"The Tianshi Star Alliance lies at the furthest end of the Demon Abyss, Ziwei Star Alliance in the middle, and Taiwei Star Alliance faces the Demon Abyss directly. The realms under Taiwei Star Alliance form a defense line, resisting the Demon Clan for nearly ten thousand years with no intermittent battles, recently, the Taiwei Star Alliance defense line was breached."
"Thirty-four realms under the Taiwei Star Alliance have all become battlegrounds for the Human and Demon Clans, and Ziwei Star Alliance’s various realms have experienced invasions to different extents, including the Heavenly Spear Realm that you’re heading to, and I am invited to assist in defending it against the Demon Clan."
"Several Divinity Transformation Elders and Refining Void seniors from our Heavenly Interence Sect are in the realms under Taiwei Star Alliance. The war between the Human and Demon Clans involves the fortunes of the Human Clan, being a struggle for Heaven and Earth Source Power. The strength of the Human Clan allows more Human cultivators to ascend to the Immortal Realm."
"Moreover, if this time goes smoothly, Heavenly Interence Sect can establish a sect in the realms under the Ziwei Star Alliance, which is the direction countless predecessors of Heavenly Interence Sect have strived for, giving you disciples from Heavenly Interence Sect a home and protection once you reach the Upper Realm."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jiuyou questioned with puzzlement, "Why didn’t the founder of Heavenly Interence Sect establish a sect in the Upper Realm despite being so powerful?"
Jiang Yuebai also had this question but Bai Jiuyou spoke first.
Zhao Fuyi contemplated slightly before speaking, "The specific reason is unknown, but I think, perhaps because the Earth Spiritual Realm is relatively small and establishing a sect is manageable, while the Upper Realm is vast and boundless, lacking enough manpower and planning makes establishing a sect difficult."
"The founder was exceptionally gifted, solely pursuing the Great Dao, unwilling to be entangled by mundane matters, coupled with no one able to keep pace at that time, there was no need to establish a sect. Just like you now, if you were to select a realm in the Upper Realm to establish a mountain gate for Heavenly Interence Sect, would you be willing?"
Jiang Yuebai replied feebly, "I don’t even have time for my own matters, but it’s not that I’m unwilling, it’s just... I’m not very adept at these."
Zhao Fuyi, seeing through but not revealing, chuckled, "Rest assured, these are not concerns for you; your primary task now is cultivation and enhancing your Cultivation. Once reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage, enhancing Cultivation will not just be diligent Internal Energy Circulation."
"By then, you’ll have the leisure to do other things; you need both worldly engagements and transcendence, finding your path amidst human experiences, laying the foundation for future Dao Fruit attainment. However, as a disciple of Heavenly Interence Sect, you are needed to assist when necessary."
Jiang Yuebai nodded eagerly, "No problem, just don’t let me handle sect trivialities; I’m good at arson and murder."
Bai Jiuyou also nodded, "Yeah, we are familiar with arson and murder!"
Zhao Fuyi laughed, "Go get busy, I’ll keep an eye on the Cloud-Breaking Charge, I will call you... both when we arrive."
Jiang Yuebai and Bai Jiuyou moved aside, now while the Cloud-Breaking Charge is in motion, she couldn’t directly open the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven to put Bai Jiuyou back, only to let her Divine Sense enter within.
Being idle as well, Jiang Yuebai handed over the Jade Scroll given by Yun Shang to Bai Jiuyou.
"Inside are methods for nurturing and breeding those Spiritual Beasts in our Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, as well as several methods for rapidly enhancing their cultivation abilities. Take a good look and later cultivate the strange insects inside the Cave Heaven well."
"Also, don’t let the two Dragonfly Little Demons always do miscellaneous tasks, arm them. And that Thunder Beast, infuse it with some Yin Yang Thunder to see if it can quickly boost its strength, at least having Golden Core Stage strength would be enough to throw into battle..."
Jiang Yuebai nagged incessantly, Bai Jiuyou’s small face wrinkled into a bunch, helpless in her dependent situation.
Bai Jiuyou lay beside, curling her feet, studying the Spiritual Beast nurturing method, while Jiang Yuebai took out the Jade Scroll given by Second Junior Brother Shi Xiaowu, continuing her in-depth study of the Great Derivation Scripture and Great Derivation Calculation Scripture.
She recently discovered that as the cultivation Techniques become more advanced, the converted formulae become simpler, and the simpler something is, the harder it is to alter or enhance.
Forcing ’borrow strengths to complement weaknesses’ results only in lower-grade Techniques.
The Chaos Nirvana Skill and Dragon God Transformation are Techniques she couldn’t alter, but when she barely converted them into formulae, she found they indeed lacked a part, not being the perfect Great Derivation Numbers.
Unfortunately, Bai Jiuyou doesn’t have the memory of Zhur Jiuyou, lacking the Refining God Method, and unsure if within this lifetime a substitute may be found.
Recently, as her Chaos Nirvana Skill test of ’Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation’ steadily advanced, the Chaos Qi within Lotus Platform Cave Heaven dwindled, and she too felt that her Divine Infant was somewhat unable to keep up with her body’s comprehensive progression.
It’s like a child’s soul piloting a giant’s body, growing wearier as cultivation progresses.
Jiang Yuebai placed the search for the Refining God Cultivation Technique at the top of her cultivation plan, afterward splitting three clones, utilizing the remaining Dragon Bones Bai Jiuyou desperately safeguarded last time, constructing Dragon Bone Puppets and Fiery Flame Crossbows.
Encountering the Demon Clan at the Heavenly Spear Realm is inevitable, these puppets are sure to display great might.
In the near distance, Zhao Fuyi observed the room of Jiang Yuebai, bustling yet orderly, even her normally placid heart felt a ripple.
Initially pondering to sit quietly and meditate on the Dao, she found it hard now to remain at ease, helplessly taking out the Array Map she acquired some time ago, beginning to study it.
Next time, I should not travel with this girl; it’s sheer exhaustion on the heart!
