Chapter 248 Cultivation World 37
More than two months later, Si Lingle and Jin You arrived at the Rakshasa Mountains and found the Bai family's treasure trove.

Jin You used the key to open the treasure vault, and the two entered the vault.

This treasure vault contains a great many magic crystals, spirit stones, magical artifacts, and magical treasures.

Jin You gave all the things that human cultivators could use to Si Lingle, since Si Lingle couldn't use them anyway.

After looting the entire treasure vault, the two left the Demon Realm.

Less than half a month after they left, demons arrived at the Rakshasa Mountains, but found only an empty treasure vault.

After the demons returned, they issued a kill order to hunt down Jin You and Si Ling Le.

However, Si Lingle and Jin You have already gone to the desolate sea for training.

The two spent over fifty years training in the desolate sea before finally parting ways.

Si Lingle returned to the Chaos Star Palace and went into seclusion. She secluded herself for several decades and her cultivation broke through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

After the breakthrough, Si Lingle began to refine the space-time traversal array.

Si Ling Le failed in her first attempt at refining, but fortunately she still had enough materials, so she continued to refine it.

The second refining was successful.

After successfully refining it, Si Lingle used the communication jade to contact Zizhen and the other six.

However, when he sent the message, he only received responses from Xiang Chen of the Divine Blade Sect, Zi Hui of the Azure Profound Sect, and Zi Zhen, Dao Hui, and Xin Rui of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Lu Yang of the Qingxuan Sect died thirteen years ago during a training exercise. It was because Lu Yang stopped the Mahayana beast that Zi Hui was able to escape alive, but she was also seriously injured.

For more than a decade, she has been in seclusion recuperating from her injuries.

As for Su Jin, a rogue cultivator, her cultivation level kept declining after being sexually exploited by demonic cultivators, and she eventually died of illness.

Zizhen, Daohui, and Xinrui from the Heavenly Sword Sect were the three strongest members. They didn't go to any overly dangerous places for training, but instead focused on steady and methodical progress.

Therefore, all three of them have made progress in their cultivation over the years.

After receiving the telepathic message, the group headed to Si Lingle's location—the Chaos Star Palace.

None of them expected that Si Lingle would join the world's largest sect, and they didn't know how she joined.

While the others were arriving, Si Lingle went to see Li Chuan and Zhao San, giving them guidance on their cultivation and leaving them some things.

She was grateful to the two for helping her enter the Chaos Star Palace, where she learned a lot.

At the same time, she left some things behind and asked Zhao San to give them to Jin You. Jin You went into seclusion, so Si Ling Le was unable to see Jin You before she left.

It took about an hour for the group to arrive one after another.

"Fellow Daoist Nan, I didn't expect you to have joined the Chaos Star Palace." Xiang Chen asked, "How did you join?"

Si Lingle briefly explained the matter of joining.

"I didn't expect that I could join by using spirit stones." Xiang Chen thought to himself: If only I had known that I could join the number one sect in this way.

He also joined in, and began his secluded cultivation in this Chaotic Star Palace. His cultivation level was likely to improve, rather than he would be injured during the training and spend decades recovering in seclusion.

After chatting, the group gave Si Lingle some gifts as payment for her return trip.

Several people stood on the formation, and Si Lingle activated the formation.

The moment Si Lingle stepped into the teleportation array, the array patterns suddenly trembled violently, and blood-red light seeped out from the originally stable flow of runes, as if some ancient restriction had been accidentally triggered.

Si Lingle instinctively activated her Out-of-Body stage divine sense to protect herself, but felt as if the void around her was being torn apart, and the scene before her eyes distorted into chaotic blocks of color—this was not the dizziness of ordinary spatial teleportation.

Instead, it was the excruciating pain of the laws of spacetime being torn apart by external forces. When her vision returned, she found herself in a strange and eerie place.

Beneath his feet was a copper-colored, rusted ground, etched with decaying copper patterns of reincarnation, but above him was a star-studded night sky. To his left, mountains were surrounded by purple thunderclouds, and to his right, a scarlet sandstorm raged across the wasteland. The space was like a pieced-together, shattered canvas.

Upon landing, Si Lingle discovered that the flow of spiritual energy within her body was sluggish, as if seventy percent of her cultivation had been sealed off by an invisible force.

Even more bizarrely, a strange memory was forcibly instilled into her consciousness—she became a farmer's daughter, her mother was seriously ill and bedridden, and her younger sister was curled up in a corner of a drafty thatched hut, sobbing.

If it weren't for the faint light emanating from the Reincarnation Realm artifact in her sea of ​​consciousness, she would have almost fallen into the illusion of this fabricated life.

Si Lingle tentatively took a step, and the red copper ground beneath her feet suddenly collapsed into a swamp. The surrounding scenery shattered and reformed like a mirror: one moment it was a phantom of a celestial palace floating in the ruins of an ancient battlefield, and the next it became a frozen polar region, where the cold wind carried vortexes of spiritual energy that cut into the skin.

A withered leaf drifted down onto my shoulder and instantly transformed into a sharp blade upon touching my clothes. Had it not been for my protective qi, it would have pierced through the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

A low hum came from afar, and an ancient tree rose from the lava, its branches burning with eerie blue flames, while its leaves were covered with frost.

A white jade coffin was embedded in the center of the tree trunk. The runes engraved on the coffin lid resonated with the Samsara Mirror in her hand, releasing a suction force that devoured divine consciousness.

When Si Lingle severed the connection with her sword intent, the coffin exploded with a bang, and the scattered bones transformed into hundreds of blood-red demonic butterflies. With each flap of their wings, phosphorus powder was scattered, and the grass and trees that touched the ground grew wildly and withered instantly.

Si Lingle sat cross-legged, a phantom image of her primordial spirit in the Out-of-Body stage appearing between her brows, her divine sense spreading out like a spider web.

Si Lingle discovered that the source of spiritual energy in this place was hidden three hundred feet underground, but each spiritual energy vein was wrapped with "causal threads", and if it was forcibly extracted, it would cause a backlash.

Si Lingle took out a bronze compass. The pointer spun wildly before suddenly stopping, pointing to the phantom of an old man in the battlefield illusion. The man was outlining sealing array patterns with his fingertips, and the trajectory of the array was vaguely consistent with the damaged runes of the teleportation array.

As she approached the illusory battlefield, a low murmur echoed in her ear: "Those who reincarnate will ultimately become sacrifices..." In an instant, a blood-red array appeared beneath her feet.

Si Lingle sneered, unleashing the Reincarnation Mirror. Its mirror-like light cleaved through the illusion like a sharp blade, revealing a passageway leading to a massive crimson bronze gate. The demonic beast skull embedded in the gate opened its empty eye sockets, spewing purple mist that condensed into characters:
"Those who communicate with the netherworld will see their own death; those who defy fate will suffer the tragedy of the Dao."

This means that those who understand the ways of the underworld can foresee their own death, while those who defy the laws of nature will suffer the calamities brought by the heavens.

With a resolute expression, Si Lingle fearlessly opened the massive bronze door.

The moment Si Lingle stepped through the giant bronze gate, the purple mist spewed from the monster skull on the gate suddenly turned into a viscous liquid, dragging her into a chaotic space without heaven or earth.

Gravity is reversed here; broken meteorites float overhead, and crimson magma hangs in the void like serpentine chains, weaving into an inverted lava net.

Si Lingle's brow gleamed with the silver light of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he discovered that the laws of this place were incomplete—his divine sense was compressed to a distance of ten feet around him, and his spiritual energy flowed as if trapped in a quagmire, as if his origin had been polluted by some kind of Netherworld energy.

Nine massive bronze pillars emerged from the ground, their surfaces covered with distorted facial reliefs.

Each face is a shadow of an enemy Si Lingle once slain, a mortal she once protected, or even the remnants of her deceased parents, emitting a cacophony of curses and sobs that attack the soul.

The bronze arrow of reincarnation shot out from the relief pupil. The arrow split into a hundred phantoms as soon as it touched space and time. When Si Lingle cut the arrow with her sword technique, she found that each arrow carried the causal line that she had severed. The backlash almost tore her sea of ​​consciousness apart.

At the center of the formation, an ancient bronze lamp rose, its flame displaying both black and blue hues. As the wick ignited, Si Lingle was forcibly drawn into a triple-layered illusion:
First stage: She was gathering herbs in a mountain village as a mortal, and witnessed the village being burned by heavenly fire, but she was unable to use her spiritual power;
The second layer: Her parents were attacked by vengeful ghosts, and she was powerless to help;
The third aspect: a phantom image of being struck by heavenly lightning and having one's soul scattered when breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending stage in the future.

As the three realms overlapped, the Samsara Realm artifact in her hand trembled violently.

Si Lingle knew it was all an illusion. After she forcibly severed the connection between the illusion and the illusion, a skeletal puppet made of Netherworld Amethyst condensed in the void.

The puppet's chest cavity contained a miniature model of a giant bronze door, with viscous black blood seeping from every crack in the door. It was actually a materialized product of the fusion of concentrated Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and the essence of the secret realm.

The puppet let out a hoarse growl: "Fight!"

Si Lingle fought the puppet for half an hour.

When the puppet was defeated and exploded, the space collapsed, revealing a dark blue vortex that exposed the core of the secret realm: an altar carved from ice and fire jade that had been around for millions of years. A pulsating glass heart floated on the altar, and the words flowing through its veins were the same words on the giant bronze gate: "The Tragedy of the Defenders of Fate."

The moment Si Lingle touched Liuli's heart, she received a message that transcended time and space: This secret realm is actually the Daoist temple formed after the fall of the ancient great power "Crimson Sky Venerable". He attempted to tamper with the cycle of life and death to break through the Tribulation Transcending stage, but was instead devoured by the laws of Heaven.

Sealed within his heart is the "secret of heaven" intercepted by the Venerable One. Obtaining it allows one to glimpse the opportunity to transcend tribulations and break through realms, but it also taints one with the eternal curse on the Copper of Reincarnation.

Si Lingle stared at the crimson pupils reflected on the surface of her heart, and sneered to herself, "Now that I have witnessed my own death, what fear is there of incurring the wrath of the Dao?"

The radiance of the Samsara Realm surged, incorporating the heart into the mirror world.

The entire secret realm trembled, the magma chains broke, and cracks spread across the void—clearly, Si Lingle's choice had triggered a higher-level backlash of laws.

Si Lingle used her spatial powers to escape from this place.

After leaving the secret realm, Si Lingle confirmed that she was in Flying Dragon Mountain, which was under the jurisdiction of the Qingxuan Sect.

Si Lingle took out a teleporter and teleported back to the outside of the Heavenly Dao Sect market.

Afterwards, he returned to his sect.

Upon returning to the sect, Master had already returned from his training.

However, he is currently in seclusion.

As for the six disciples, Ruochen and Yujin are in seclusion, while the remaining four disciples have gone on training trips.

After sending them a telepathic message, Si Lingle went into seclusion.

Si Lingle is preparing to refine the "Breath of Heavenly Secrets" within the Glazed Heart.

Si Lingyue activated the Nine Netherworld Flame, which enveloped the Crystal Heart.

Flames, like chains, pierced through the heart, stripping away the Heavenly Dao imprint from the very source of Heavenly Secrets.

After a hundred years of refinement, the Heavenly Secrets Origin materialized into a three-headed demonic dragon, each head controlling the causal lines of the "past," "present," and "future," launching an attack on Si Lingle's consciousness.

Si Lingle's primordial spirit surged with silver light, and her sword intent transformed into threads to sever the demonic dragon's neck. The stardust gushing from the severed point was absorbed entirely by her Reincarnation Realm cultivation.

At the crucial moment of refining, black blood seeped from Si Lingle's seven orifices, and her skin cracked like porcelain—a sign that the Heavenly Secret Source was eroding her physical body. She forcibly reversed her meridians, channeling the fire poison into the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of her feet, instantly melting a charred pit into the ground.

The spirit of the Reincarnation Mirror manifested, and bronze chains extended from the mirror, piercing through Si Lingle's chest and her glass heart, forming a symbiotic restriction that "locked the secrets of heaven with her own body." With each tightening of a chain, a crack appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness, but the violent aura of the origin of the secrets of heaven also diminished.

As the final Heavenly Secret Imprint dissolved, the Crystal Heart shattered, its fragments merging into Si Lingle's heart meridian.

Before the fragments merged into her heart, Si Lingle heard the maniacal laughter of the remnant soul of the Crimson Sky Venerable: "Defiant of fate, let's see who goes mad first, you or the Heavenly Dao!"

A starlight aura erupted around Si Lingle, and a fragmented phantom of the "Celestial Secrets Record" appeared above her head, the characters in the record transforming into streams of light that flowed into her brow. Si Lingle's soul underwent a transformation amidst excruciating pain, her pupils turning a vibrant azure, glimpsing fragments of the future three breaths ahead.

First Breath: The Tribulation of Cause and Effect.

She saw a woman standing under the lightning of the heavenly tribulation, holding a broken mirror of reincarnation, with thousands of cultivator corpses scattered on the ground.

Second breath: Signs of falling into demonic possession.

The scene shifts to her kneeling on the Cold Abyss Altar, her chest covered in Netherworld Purple Patterns, the Reincarnation Realm artifact spirit transforming into black mist that erodes her primordial spirit.

A low warning came from afar: "Those who tamper with the secrets of heaven will ultimately become the abandoned children of the heavenly way." This was the manifestation of the backlash from the heavenly way, foreshadowing that if she could not suppress the lingering obsession of the Crimson Heaven Venerable within her Glazed Heart, she would fall into the demonic path and become a "cursed demoness" to be hunted down by the cultivation world.

The third breath: the pain of losing a loved one.

In her final moments, her six disciples appeared, wielding their natal weapons to defend against the group of cultivators. Their bodies exploded into a bloody mist, and before dying, they cried out, "Master, run!"

After successfully refining, Si Lingle's spiritual power condensed into liquid starlight, and the barrier of the Nascent Soul stage collapsed on its own, allowing her to break through to the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation stage.

Si Lingle can now use the secrets of heaven to deduce the weaknesses in her opponent's techniques, and her sword energy contains the power of cause and effect to strangle her.

The "Imprisonment Seal" left behind by Venerable Chixiao appeared between his brows. This mark would trigger a more intense backlash from the Heavenly Dao as his cultivation level increased. A crack also appeared on the surface of the Reincarnation Realm, indicating that the artifact spirit might go out of control.

Then Si Lingle flew out of the cave to fight against the lightning tribulation!
It's unclear whether it's because he refined the "Breath of Heavenly Secrets," but this tribulation lightning was several times more powerful than the previous ones.

With her sword intent and magical treasures, Si Lingle successfully survived the tribulation. After surviving the tribulation, Si Lingle went into seclusion to stabilize her cultivation.

After five years of seclusion, his cultivation level stabilized at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

After her breakthrough, Si Lingle used what she had obtained in the Ancient Wilderness World to begin crafting various magical artifacts and weapons.

As for the glimpse of three breaths into the future, whether the first glimpse is good or bad remains to be seen.

The second scene foreshadows that she might become possessed by a demon, but she doesn't care about that.

However, in the third scene, six disciples died protecting her, which Si Lingle couldn't accept.

Her disciples were all good children; they shouldn't have died for her.

Si Lingle began researching new types of weapons.

This weapon incorporates some principles from the interstellar era, and Si Lingle spent two years refining it before successfully completing it.

After successfully refining it, Si Lingle went to the Jingyuan Mountains and found a Void Refinement stage demon beast.

Si Lingle took out a top-grade magic weapon that resembled an energy cannon and fired it at the Void Refinement stage demon beast.

This shell has a guided attack capability; once the missile locks onto the target and maintains tracking, it will enter guided attack mode.

In this mode, the shell will autonomously adjust its course, speed, and attitude according to the target's position and movement to ensure accurate hit on the target.

"Boom!" The cannonball struck the Void Refinement stage demon beast, killing it instantly.

That spirit cannon is incredibly powerful!
Having confirmed the power of the spirit cannon, Si Lingle returned to her sect and went to refine some more.

She crafted some low-powered spirit cannons, suitable for use by a few disciples.

Several years passed in this way, and all six disciples returned to the sect.

Si Lingle suppressed her cultivation level and fought with six disciples; they had made great progress.

Their ranking in the four arts has also improved considerably.

After checking their cultivation, Si Lingle gave them the spirit energy cannon.

With a solemn expression, he said, "In the future, no matter what happens to your master, don't worry about it. Your best reward to your master is to cultivate diligently and ascend to immortality."

Xuanjing: "Master, did you see something?" Otherwise, why would you say such a thing for no reason?

“I have indeed glimpsed some things in the future, so for your own good, you must not intervene in anything that happens to me in the future.” Si Lingle looked at the six people and said, “Now, swear an oath to the Demonic Heart.”

Yunya refused, saying, "Master, I was originally a useless spiritual root. If I hadn't met you, how could I have achieved my current cultivation level? If something were to happen to you in the future, how could I stand idly by?"

The others also refused, saying that if they watched their master get into trouble and stood by and did nothing, they would be unworthy of being disciples.

“Your help is just sending yourselves to your deaths,” Si Lingle said coldly. “If you don’t swear an oath against your inner demons, I will expel you from the sect today.”

The six people were immediately speechless.

Finally, they all made a vow to their inner demons. After the six of them made their vows, Si Lingle was satisfied.

Thank you for the monthly pass, Yinshi.
