Chapter 259 Cultivation World 48
"Fellow Daoist, how about it? Shall we go together to find the 'Sands of Time'?"

After sending away the people and monsters she had bought, Yunhua Silingle stayed in the black market and rented a cave to live in, preparing to train in this far western region.

After staying for more than two months, Si Lingle got to know some independent cultivators.

Today, fellow Daoist Su Lan, a rogue cultivator, came to find her and invited her to go into the ominous fog together to search for the "Sand of Time".

The "Sand of Time" crystal can temporarily freeze the flow of time within a radius of five feet, but after three uses, the holder will age rapidly.

This item is hard to find, and the ominous fog is extremely dangerous, so a single "Sand of Time" can sell for five hundred high-grade spirit stones.

"Okay, when do you leave?"

"Four days later."

"it is good."

After Su Lan left, Si Ling Le went to prepare some things.

Four days later, we set off.

Including Si Lingyue, there are six people in total.

The "Big Beard" Taoist name is Hu Lu (late stage of Out-of-Body stage). He has a messy but weathered beard and is skilled in mechanical arts.

Lingfeng (early stage of body separation) is a lithe woman who moves like the wind. She has a unique understanding of poisons, with a dense array of poison gourds hanging from her waist and a bow and arrows on her back.

Tieshan (Great Perfection of Out-of-Body Experience) is as his name suggests. He is tall and strong, with immense strength. He carries a huge axe, as if he can cleave through all obstacles in the world.
Xingjue (early stage of Nascent Soul), he is a mysterious old man with white hair and deep eyes. He understands divination and astrology and can foresee some of the good or bad fortune ahead.
As for Su Lan (mid-stage Nascent Soul stage), she is a sound cultivator who uses a flute as her weapon.

Si Lingle's cultivation level is hidden at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. She is a rogue cultivator and uses an umbrella-shaped weapon.

The group of six cautiously stepped into the ominous fog that was filled with a strange aura.

The fog was as thick as ink, seemingly alive, constantly writhing and tangling, obscuring everyone's vision, and every step forward was fraught with unknown danger.

The six of them were on edge, fully aware of the preciousness of the "Sands of Time" and the difficulty of this journey.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from the depths of the thick fog. The sound was muffled and heavy, making the hearts of the six people tighten.

"Everyone be careful, an unknown monster is approaching," Su Lan whispered, holding her flute and preparing for battle.

Tieshan raised his axe high, his eyes revealing fearless fighting spirit; Lingfeng quickly pulled out several poison needles from her waist, vigilantly observing her surroundings; Hu Lu frantically fiddled with the mechanisms beside her, preparing to launch a defense at any moment; Xingjue closed his eyes tightly, silently divining the situation; Si Lingle held the Qiankun Umbrella, ready for battle.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow burst out of the mist. It was a massive mist beast with scales that shimmered with an eerie light. It opened its blood-red maw and pounced on the group.

Tieshan roared and charged forward, brandishing his axe, engaging the mist beast in a direct confrontation. Si Lingle seized the opportunity, circled around to the side of the mist beast, and swung her umbrella at its leg, blood splattering wherever the umbrella passed.

Su Lan played her flute, unleashing a sonic attack that struck the Mist Beast's consciousness.

Lingfeng seized the opportunity and shot out a poisoned needle. The needle accurately pierced the body of the mist beast, but it did not seem to have much effect. The mist beast became even more furious and rolled around wildly, stirring up the surrounding mist and making the situation even more chaotic.

Just then, Hu Lu pressed a mechanism, and a huge iron cage descended from the sky, firmly trapping the mist beast. The mist beast struggled and roared inside the cage, but it couldn't break free. Taking advantage of the opportunity, everyone rushed forward and defeated the dangerous mist beast.

After a brief rest, they continued deeper into the ominous fog. As they progressed, they encountered increasing dangers, including hidden traps and even more mysterious beasts.

Every time a crisis arises, everyone works together and uses their individual abilities to turn danger into safety.

More than two months passed, and finally, in a secluded valley shrouded in thick fog, Si Lingle's keen eyes caught a glimpse of a strange light.

They approached cautiously and discovered that the light was coming from the "Sands of Time".

However, just as they were about to approach and collect the "Sands of Time," a powerful force suddenly surged from the valley, forming a barrier that prevented them from advancing.

Xingjue carefully observed the trend of the light, silently calculating a way to break it.

Hu Lu quickly assembled the mechanism, attempting to break through the barrier.

The others stood guard vigilantly, preventing any new dangers from arising.

Si Lingle did not reveal that she knew how to form formations, but instead stood guard and kept watch from the side.

After much effort, Xingjue finally found a way to break through the barrier.

It took three days to break through the barrier.

With the barrier broken, they reached out to grab the Sands of Time with great joy, but an unexpected event suddenly occurred.

The ground began to shake violently, as if an ancient behemoth was awakening underground.

The cracks spread rapidly like a ferocious maw, devouring everything around them.

Immediately afterwards, scalding magma erupted from the crack, and the intense heat instantly made the surrounding air unbearably hot.

A group of Netherfire Beasts, their eyes gleaming with greed and ferocity, leaped out of the lava, baring their fangs and claws.

The three largest Netherfire Beasts launched the first attack. They condensed magma fireballs in their front claws, which suddenly split into hundreds of fire meteors when they were thirty feet away from their target, blocking all of Si Lingle and his companions' escape routes.

The nine-headed Netherfire Beasts formed a ring around them, with five of them suddenly stabbing their burning tails into the rock wall, instantly triggering dozens of magma fountains to erupt from the ground.

The most terrifying of all was the two-headed Netherfire Beast at the Nascent Soul stage, whose ghostly blue flames spewed from its left head could corrode spiritual energy shields, while the roars from its right head pierced straight to the soul.

Si Lingle and his six companions quickly spread out in a fan shape. Tie Shan was the first to attack. He roared and charged towards the Netherfire Beast like a tiger descending a mountain. He raised his giant axe high and brought it down on the Netherfire Beast's head with immense force.

The Netherfire Beast reacted swiftly, dodging to the side with agility, causing its giant axe to miss and sending countless sparks flying.

Immediately afterward, the Netherfire Beast opened its gaping maw and spewed out a blazing pillar of Netherfire that swept towards Tieshan. Tieshan hurriedly dodged to the side, the scorching flames grazing his body and scorching the hem of his clothes.

At this moment, Lingfeng quickly drew her bow and shot arrows, one after another, arrows carrying a sharp gust of wind, towards the Netherfire Beast.

The Netherfire Beast swung its front paws, knocking most of the arrows away, but a few still struck its body, sending sparks flying.

The arrows were poisoned, and the Netherfire Beast, poisoned, began to sway unsteadily.

At the same time, Xing Jue, who was skilled in magic, chanted incantations and quickly formed hand seals, sending a golden blade flying towards the Netherfire Beast.

The golden blade struck the Netherfire Beast's body, causing it to bleed profusely.

Enraged, the Netherfire Beast roared furiously, and the Netherfire around its body intensified. It charged towards Si Lingle with lightning speed.

Si Lingle's eyes were firm, and the Qiankun Umbrella in her hand gleamed with a cold light. With a flash, she skillfully dodged the attack of the Netherfire Beast. At the same time, she stabbed back, cutting a deep wound on the Netherfire Beast's body, and blood splattered everywhere.

Just then, Hu Lu activated his mechanical technique, sending countless long needles piercing the Netherfire Beast. The Netherfire Beast cried out in pain.

The Netherfire Beast did not yield. It roared angrily, and the Netherfire on its body suddenly erupted, forming a powerful shockwave that forced the six people back several steps.

Then, it unleashed an even hotter and wider stream of ghostly fire, instantly engulfing the six people in a sea of ​​flames.

The six remained calm. Tieshan charged forward again to draw the attention of the Netherfire Beast, while Lingfeng and Xingjue launched attacks from different directions.

Su Lan then unleashed her sonic attack from the rear.

Si Lingle seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the attacks on the Netherfire Beast, leaped high into the air, gathering powerful energy in her Qiankun Umbrella, and shot it towards the Netherfire Beast.

The spirit bullet accurately struck the Netherfire Beast's heart, causing it to let out a desperate roar as its body trembled violently.

The ghostly flames on its body gradually died down, and its massive body slowly collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.

But before they could catch their breath, the remaining Netherfire Beasts attacked again.

The six men launched another counterattack.

Several hours later, all the Netherfire Beasts were killed, and the "Sands of Time" were obtained.

After obtaining the "Sand of Time," Su Lan and her group of five prepared to leave the ominous fog and return to the black market.

Si Lingle, on the other hand, planned to continue her training and exploration within the ominous fog. After separating from the five people, Si Lingle headed north alone.

On the night she entered the ominous fog, she used her Heavenly Eye to explore it.

The Sky Eye also found five places with "Sands of Time," and these places are inhabited by ferocious beasts.

Five days later, Si Lingle arrived at the first location, where the ferocious beast guarding it was an ice crocodile at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The ice crocodile burst from the water, its scales reflecting a blinding cold light. Its mid-stage Nascent Soul stage power froze all the vegetation within a hundred miles into ice shards.

Si Lingle stood in mid-air, her fingertips lightly stroking her natal spirit sword "Qingchu," and the purple lightning snakes wrapped around the sword suddenly swelled up.

The ice crocodile attacked first, spewing out Xuanming cold air powerful enough to freeze the soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Clang—" The Azure Beginning Sword emitted a clear whistle like a dragon's roar, and the sword energy formed from the divine thunder of the nine heavens poured down like a silver river.

As Si Lingle's robes fluttered, she unleashed her sword techniques.

The Ice Crocodile's indestructible scales cracked inch by inch in the lightning, and the ferocious beast suddenly stood up, transforming into a half-human, half-crocodile form, its sharp claws aimed straight for Si Lingle's dantian.

Si Lingle used spatial teleportation to dodge the ice crocodile's attack, and quickly gathered her lightning sword intent.

A flash of sword light appeared, like lightning slicing through the night sky, and swiftly slashed towards the ice crocodile.

The power of thunder instantly pierced through the ice crocodile's ice armor, turning its massive body into charred remains in an instant.

The ice crocodile let out a piercing scream, but it was too late to avert its doom.

The full-force attack of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator caused the entire icy pool to boil and evaporate. When the thunderclouds dissipated, the charred demon core of the Ice Crocodile landed in Si Lingle's palm. She lowered her head and sighed softly, "What a pity for these refining materials."

She should hold back a bit.

After defeating the Ice Crocodile, Si Lingle looted the treasures of the Ice Crocodile Cave and also collected the "Sands of Time".

Si Lingyue then went to four other places.

More than three months later, Si Lingle finally arrived at the location of the fifth "Sands of Time".

This "Sands of Time" is not guarded by any ferocious beasts, but is surrounded by countless gales.

Si Lingle took out a Celestial-grade defensive artifact and forcibly passed through the gale.

The moment Si Lingle's fingertips touched the "Sand of Time" suspended in the gale, the entire void suddenly distorted.

The "Sands of Time" burst forth with dazzling light, and a silver river that stretched across the heavens and earth suddenly split open beneath its feet—a manifestation of the river of time that even Mahayana cultivators rarely glimpsed.

The passage of time has caused her to experience simultaneously:

The left side of my body is rejuvenating, and my skin is becoming as smooth as a baby's.

The right half of his body was aging rapidly, and the cuffs of his Taoist robe had turned to ashes.

A star map he had never seen before appeared in his mind.

"I see." Si Lingle suddenly laughed, and the Qingchu Sword was automatically drawn from its sheath.

Where the sword's edge swept across, lightning traced profound Dao patterns in the river of time.

Those scattered fragments of time suddenly reassembled, forming 360 miniature realms around Si Lingle.

Each realm exhibits a different flow of time:
In a certain realm, a tender sprout can grow into a towering tree in just three breaths;
In adjacent regions, the flapping motion of birds' wings is stretched to a century;
The nearest boundary was completely still, even the light was frozen into golden threads;
Time flies, and more than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, as the sand completely merged into the Purple Mansion, the instant Si Lingle opened her eyes, the entire river of time suddenly reversed and flowed backward.

She stood in the gale-force layer of the real world, and with a gentle slash of her Qingchu Sword, an independent space-time was instantly formed within a radius of ten zhang, where the snow fell a hundred times slower than outside.

Si Lingle comprehended her spatial-temporal supernatural powers.

Spacetime Domain: Controlling the flow of time or sealing off space can compress time within the domain to one-thousandth.

Si Lingle believes that her ability to comprehend spacetime is due to her devouring the No Thought Fruit in the outer battlefield and mastering the supernatural power of spacetime.

That's why she now has the opportunity to comprehend the supernatural powers of the space-time domain.

The spacetime power she previously possessed allowed her to reverse time, but this reversal would consume a hundred years of her lifespan and burden her with countless karmic consequences.

Therefore, she never used it.

The time domain I now control will not consume my lifespan when I use it.

Si Lingle went to find the ferocious beast and used the space-time domain, which worked very well, but consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

It consumed one-fifth of her spiritual power.

Of course, the longer it lasts, the more spiritual energy is consumed, which is when the power of space and time is suitable for team battles.

When alone, unless in a very urgent situation, Si Lingle thinks it's best not to use it lightly.

Si Lingle left the ominous fog, went to the black market, bought a few "Sands of Time", and then returned to her sect.

Over the years, Master Changming has managed things quite well.

Over the past ten years, the sect has recruited many new disciples, and now the sect has more than four hundred members.

After Si Lingle returned, he gave several lectures, and two of his disciples even achieved sudden enlightenment and breakthroughs.

These two disciples who had suddenly attained enlightenment were taken in as disciples by the Golden Core Master.

However, there are still too few high-level cultivators in the sect.

Changming Zhenjun suggested to Si Lingle that she find some small sects, merge with them, and strengthen the Hundred Battles Sect.

Si Lingle thought it was feasible.

Changming sent Si Lingle to the Ancient Dao Sect first, whose leader was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

The sect only has about thirty people, and the one with the highest cultivation level is the sect leader.

This sect isn't far from the Hundred Battles Sect; it only takes three days to get there.

Si Lingle went to the Heavenly Dao Sect and had a two-day discussion with the sect leader, Zhiheng. He agreed to submit to the Hundred Battles Sect.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sect Leader Zhiheng decided that rather than being conquered and swallowed up by the Taiming Sect, it would be better to actively join the Hundred Battles Sect, which would allow the sect's disciples to enjoy the same treatment as the Hundred Battles Sect disciples.

After being swallowed up by the Taiming Sect, the disciples will likely all become menial laborers or slaves.

The next day, Si Lingle uprooted the main peak of the Ancient Path Sect and transported it back to Baizhan.

From now on, it will be called Ancient Path Peak, and True Man Zhiheng will be the peak master of Ancient Path Peak.

The disciples of the Ancient Path Sect were initially worried that they would be bullied by the inner disciples of the Hundred Battles Sect, but they found that the cultivation atmosphere in the Hundred Battles Sect was very good.

Moreover, their cultivation resources have increased several times over compared to before, which makes them extremely happy.

He practiced diligently.

Moreover, there are also Nascent Soul True Monarchs who have left their physical bodies and Nascent Soul True Monarchs giving lectures and teachings.

They had never seen such a kind and approachable high-ranking monk before.

Within a few days, the disciples of the Ancient Path Sect and the disciples of the Hundred Battles Sect had become one.

Si Lingle continued to look for other minor sects to see if she could reach an agreement on some sect mergers.
