Chapter 231 Cultivation World 20
The fifth and sixth lightning tribulations followed one after another, each more powerful than the last.

When the ninth lightning tribulation descended, Si Lingle was already exhausted.

Si Lingle used two defensive magical treasures to resist the lightning tribulation.

The two defensive magical treasures were instantly shattered by the lightning tribulation. The lightning struck Si Lingle, causing her excruciating pain, but she withstood the attack with her tenacious willpower.

After successfully surviving the lightning tribulation, the churning dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and the raging winds gradually subsided.

The space, which had been ravaged by lightning and riddled with holes, slowly returned to calm.

A seven-colored ray of light descended from the sky, like a gorgeous ribbon, gently enveloping Si Lingle's body.

The rosy glow seemed to contain the purest energy in the world, seeping into Si Lingle's body and repairing the injuries she suffered during the lightning tribulation, gradually stabilizing and strengthening her aura.

Si Lingle stood quietly in the glow of the sunset, her eyes slightly closed, feeling the surging power within her.

Si Lingle could clearly feel that her understanding of swordsmanship had undergone a qualitative leap at this moment. The swordsmanship problems that had troubled her before had now dissipated like clouds and mist, and an unprecedented sense of clarity had welled up in her heart.

As time passed, Si Lingle felt the power of the laws of heaven and earth gently descend upon her, a recognition of her breakthrough by heaven and earth.

Si Lingyue returned to her cave to consolidate her cultivation.

After more than three years, Si Lingle's cultivation level stabilized.

After the breakthrough, Si Lingyue continued to immerse herself in seclusion to further improve her four arts.

After ten years of seclusion, Si Lingle finally emerged.

Her cultivation has broken through to the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, and her talisman level has broken through to the seventh level. Her formation, weapon crafting, and alchemy levels are all at the upper-grade sixth level.

She is now sixty years old.

He broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of fifty and had dual spiritual roots, which would place him among the top youngest people to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the Qingxuan Lower Realm.

After Si Lingle emerged from seclusion, she looked at the Star Spirit Fruit Tree. In the ten years since, the Star Spirit Fruit Tree had survived and grown to over fifty centimeters tall.

Si Lingyue contacted her master via telepathy. Her master had already emerged from seclusion and, upon receiving Si Lingyue's message, went to Si Lingyue's cave.

Upon seeing the Star Spirit Fruit Tree, Daoist Yiheng accepted it. As for the one to be handed over to the sect, Daoist Yiheng helped give it to the sect leader.

Si Lingle also received rewards from the sect, including contribution points and spirit stones.

"Thank you, Master." Daoist Yiheng personally delivered the reward to Si Ling Le Cave.

“Disciple, let’s talk,”

Si Lingle nodded.

Then, Daoist Yiheng talked about the major events that have happened in recent years.

Qingxuan discovered many places where the Heavenly Demons were sealed in the lower realm. These sealed places were not only in secret realms, but also in the sea and on land.

Some are even located beneath the ley lines of certain sects.

In some of these sealed lands, the seals are still very strong, while in others the seals have been broken, and in these broken sealed lands, demonic energy has leaked out.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon did not break through the seal and escape, otherwise a battle might have broken out in the Azure Profound Realm.

The major sects have sent formation masters to reinforce the seals on these sealed demon lands and have also arranged for people to guard them to prevent the demons from causing damage.

"Disciple, the Heavenly Palace will open in a little over a hundred years. All cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage will be able to enter, and I will go as well. In these hundred years, you must strive to improve your cultivation."

"Ideally, one should be able to raise their cultivation level to the late Nascent Soul stage or the Great Perfection stage. Of course, it would be even better if they could break through to the Out-of-Body stage."

"Yes, Master. This disciple will cultivate diligently." Si Lingle nodded.

Daoist Yiheng also inquired about Si Lingle's cultivation and the Four Arts.

The two talked for more than an hour before Yiheng Daojun left.

Si Lingle left the sect and used a teleporter to send the Star Spirit Fruit sapling to the Nine-Tailed Cat Demon Clan.

The demon lords were deeply moved and kept praising Si Lingle for being sensible. They even prepared to give her some more gifts, but Si Lingle refused to accept them.

They went straight back to their sect.

A few days later, Si Lingle received a mission from the sect: the sect was recruiting disciples.

She escorted the Foundation Establishment disciples to the mortal realm.

The sect sent a total of six Foundation Establishment disciples.

"Greetings, True Lord Yunhua," the six disciples said in unison.

"Okay." Si Lingle nodded, then went back to her room.

It takes more than a month to travel from the cultivation world to the mortal world.

"True Lord Yunhua is amazing. He has dual spiritual roots and has already formed his Nascent Soul at the age of fifty," Li Huaiwei said.

Zhu Wen: "I would be very happy if I could break through to the Nascent Soul stage before I turn a hundred."

He has dual spiritual roots of earth and fire, and his spiritual root value is quite good. He is currently twenty-one years old and his cultivation level has only reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

Tan Jingzhi watched the five people discussing True Monarch Yunhua, but he had no interest in the topic at all. He went straight back to his room to cultivate.

Tan Jingzhi possesses three spiritual roots. He was selected from the mortal realm to enter the sect, and his spiritual root aptitude is quite good.

After entering the sect, he joined the outer sect and became an outer sect disciple.

He cultivated diligently and broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of twenty-six. Now, at the age of thirty, his cultivation has only reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he passed the sect competition and became an inner disciple of Fafeng, and was accepted as a disciple by Master Siyun.

This Master Siyun took in five disciples; he was the fourth.

He originally thought that having become an apprentice would make his cultivation journey smoother.

However, unexpectedly, this Master Siyun would withhold her disciple's monthly salary.

Tan Jingzhi already had very limited cultivation resources, and having them further deducted by his master made his cultivation resources even scarcer.

The five disciples had nowhere to complain about their master withholding their monthly stipends.

Because of their master, they made them make a vow against their inner demons.

Tan Jingzhi took on the task of testing spiritual roots in the mortal realm for two reasons: first, for the mission reward, and second, to return to his hometown.

After he came to the cultivation world, he never went back.

When he was establishing his foundation, he wanted to go back and visit, but because he had taken a master as his teacher, Tan Jingzhi didn't have the time to go back.

Because I've been constantly worried about cultivation resources.

Tan Jingzhi just wants to cultivate diligently now, so that he can break through his master's oppression once his cultivation level is up.

"Senior Brother Tan, True Monarch Yunhua wants to give us some guidance on cultivation. Would you like to come and listen?" Zhu Wen called out from outside the door.

“Okay.” Tan Jingzhi immediately stopped cultivating and followed Zhu Wen onto the deck.

When the six arrived, Si Ling said with delight, "If you have any questions about cultivation, you can speak up and we can discuss them."

Zhu Wen: "True Lord, I am a sword cultivator. I want to know how I can comprehend my own sword intent."

"Comprehending the essence of swordsmanship is a complex and profound process, involving understanding the nature of the sword, personal mental cultivation, and long-term practice and insight."

"I comprehended the Thunder Sword Intent during my tribulation. Therefore, diligent practice and real combat are very important."

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, True Lord."

Afterwards, Li Huaiwei and the others also raised their questions about cultivation.

Tan Jingzhi listened without asking any questions. After the others had finished asking, Tan Jingzhi suddenly spoke up: "True Lord, how can we obtain more cultivation resources?"

“That means learning the four arts. I don’t have to master them all, but being proficient in one will ensure you won’t lack spirit stones in the future,” Si Ling said happily. “Weapon crafting and alchemy are both quite costly. But talisman drawing requires less investment.”

Talisman paper is not as expensive as materials for alchemy and weapon crafting.

“If you really want to learn, you can start by learning how to draw talismans.” After Si Lingle finished speaking, she took out her talisman-drawing notes and handed them to Tan Jingzhi. “These are my talisman-drawing notes. You can take them and study them.”

Tan Jingzhi was surprised that Si Lingle would give him her tips on drawing talismans, and he felt somewhat apprehensive.

He thought to himself: This Yunhua Zhenjun suddenly gave him some insights; I wonder if he'll be asked to do something in the future.

If Si Lingle knew what Tan Jingzhi was thinking, she would just roll her eyes and think to herself, "He's overthinking it."

Si Lingle looked at the others and said, "If you have any questions about the Four Arts, you can ask me. I have some knowledge in the Four Arts."

"Thank you, True Lord." The group quickly expressed their gratitude.

After exchanging words with the others, Si Lingle went back to her room.

On their journey to the mortal realm, Zhu Wen and his companions' feelings towards Si Lingle evolved from initial envy to respect, and now even to worship.

Under Si Lingle's guidance, the group's magic and swordsmanship skills improved.

The group felt a deep sense of awe, thinking that if they could have such a master, their future path in cultivation would surely be smooth sailing.

Lian Tanjingzhi went from disliking him at the beginning to respecting him now.

He also made some changes regarding the high-ranking cultivators of the sect.

He originally thought that most of the high-level cultivators in the sect were like his master, selfish and only thinking of themselves. He never expected that there would be such good cultivators.

Upon arriving in the mortal realm, the six of them split up to test their spiritual roots in various mortal cities.

Si Lingle was waiting for several people on the hearse.

After the spiritual root test is completed, she will pilot the spirit ship to pick up the person.

After a seven-day wait, the spiritual root test was over.

In the two mortal kingdoms, there are a total of thirty-two children with spiritual roots: two with single spiritual roots, five with double spiritual roots, six with triple spiritual roots, and nineteen with mixed spiritual roots.

Once these children with spiritual roots are picked up, they will return to the sect.

These children were all very surprised as they rode on a funeral boat for the first time.

They were chattering and discussing it.

At this moment, Si Lingle came out and said, "Settle the rooms first. Starting tomorrow, the six of you will take half an hour each to tell these children about the cultivation world."

She had just arrived in this world of cultivation and knew nothing about it.

She herself possesses something like the Heavenly Eye, while these children are merely mortals who have just entered the world of cultivation; they probably know nothing about it.

If someone were to explain to them that they had passed the assessment and entered the sect, they wouldn't be completely ignorant.

"It is the True Lord." The group bowed and replied.

After making the arrangements, Si Lingle returned to her room.

Tan Jingzhi and the others made arrangements for these disciples.

On the way back, I told these children some common knowledge about the cultivation world every day.

*
In the vast and boundless spiritual sky, a spirit ship was sailing steadily, its body radiating a soft light, like a star twinkling in the night sky.

Suddenly, a dark shadow rose from the distant horizon, rapidly pressing towards the spirit ship like a dark cloud.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be a group of flying demonic beasts. They had sharp claws, and their sharp teeth gleamed coldly in the sunlight. The flapping of their wings created a whistling sound.

Leading the group was a gigantic eagle-like monster with eyes like burning flames, radiating ferocity and greed.

The monsters let out piercing cries, like sharp horns, shattering the tranquility of the spiritual realm.

Immediately afterwards, they rushed towards the spirit ship in a fan shape, like a well-trained army, and the powerful airflow made the spirit ship shake violently.

"It's a Crimson Flame Eagle at the Golden Core stage!" Zhu Wen exclaimed nervously.

This number is too much!
Si Lingyue had already come out, and her clear, cold voice rang out: "All new disciples, return to your rooms."

"The six of you will each guard a part of the spirit ship," Si Ling said. "If any Crimson Flame Eagles break through and attack the spirit ship, the six of you will surround and kill them."

"It is the True Lord."

After Si Lingle finished speaking, she held the Qingchu Sword and rushed towards the group of monsters like lightning.

Si Lingle flashed and arrived in front of the eagle-shaped monster.

Seeing that someone dared to challenge him, the eagle-like monster angrily opened its giant claws and reached out to grab Si Lingle.

Si Lingle remained calm and composed. She lightly touched the air with her toes, her body flashing like a ghost as she dodged the attack. At the same time, the longsword in her hand drew a graceful arc, piercing towards the throat of the eagle-like monster like a shooting star.

Sensing danger, the eagle-like monster hurriedly twisted its body to try and dodge. However, Si Lingle's sword was too fast, and the tip of the sword still cut through its feathers, drawing a spurt of blood.

The eagle-like monster let out an angry roar, flapped its wings forcefully, and a powerful gust of air swept towards Si Lingle.

Si Lingle channeled her spiritual power, holding her longsword horizontally in front of her to form a shield that blocked the airflow.

Then, taking advantage of the lull in the eagle-like monster's attack, Si Lingle launched another attack.

The Qingchu Sword in Si Lingle's hand seemed to come alive, flying up and down under her control like a silver lightning bolt.

Sharp sword energies shot out from the sword, heading towards the eagle-shaped monster.

The eagle-like monster tried to dodge, but the sword energy followed relentlessly, striking its body repeatedly. Wounds appeared all over its body, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Seeing this, the other flying monsters nearby gathered around, wanting to support the eagle-shaped monster.

Si Lingle sneered, her figure weaving freely through the horde of demonic beasts. Her swordplay was as fluid as flowing water, each swing slaying a demonic beast. The beasts' blood splattered in the air, staining the spiritual realm crimson.

On the spirit boat, Zhu Wen and the others exclaimed in admiration: "Yunhua Zhenjun is so powerful!"

Zhu Wen, a sword cultivator, even took out a recording stone to document Si Lingle's battle with the demonic beast.

Under Si Lingle's fierce attack, the eagle-shaped monster could not withstand it, let out a desperate scream, and fell from the sky.

Seeing that their leader was dead, the other monsters lost their will to fight and fled the battlefield.

Si Lingle sheathed her longsword, took out a talisman and threw it out. The fleeing demonic beast was struck by Si Lingle's lightning talisman.

Si Lingle made a hand seal, and the demonic beasts that had been struck by the lightning talisman were killed by Si Lingle's hand seal.

After killing the monsters, Si Lingle collected their corpses and returned to the spirit ship.

Back on the spirit ship, the six people on board, including Zhu Wen, looked at her with admiration, but Si Lingle just smiled slightly, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial interlude.

The spirit ship once again sped smoothly into the distance, and the spirit sky, stained red with blood, gradually returned to calm.

Si Lingle took out the demonic beast and had the six people dissect it.

Si Lingle had them roast the monster meat and then distribute it to the new disciples.

As for the materials from the monsters, Si Lingle gave them to Zhu Wen and the other six.

Upon returning to the sect, Si Lingle submitted the mission and received the rewards.

After a month, Si Lingyue left the sect to gain experience.

After submitting his mission, Tan Jingzhi also left the sect to gain experience.

If he wants to improve himself, he must go out and gain experience so that he can obtain more cultivation resources. Only then can he use the resources he obtains for his own benefit, instead of handing them over to that selfish and self-serving master.
