I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 251 Clash of Prodigies (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Early morning, outside Flint City.

The golden desert shimmered under the rising sun, and the various ships hovered in the air like giant beasts, casting dappled shadows.

Qi Refining cultivators crowded the city walls, while Foundation Establishment cultivators floated in the air atop their magical artifacts, the crowd as numerous as ants.

In addition, Golden Core cultivators from various sects who had not appeared during the previous arena battles also appeared in twos and threes in the clouds above the Foundation Establishment cultivators, their auras concealed by spiritual light, so as not to attract attention.

Luo Heng, a True Person of the Cangling Sect, and Yu Wei and Xuan Zhi stood together, but they were absent-minded, constantly squinting and scanning the surrounding crowd, trying to find something.

The eight chosen prodigies from each sect stood atop the sand dunes outside the city, their robes fluttering in the wind.

Liu Taozhi, dressed in white as snow and carrying a long sword, today feigned a cold and unsmiling demeanor, somewhat resembling her master Jiang Yurong.

Yan Kongqing of the Liujing Sect stood tall and imposing, dressed in blue, with a compass slowly rotating in his palm.

Mo Liao, the leader of the Mo Family Fortress, was dressed in black and expressionless. The mechanical puppet behind him was like a twin of him, its metal mechanism gleaming coldly.

Zhu Mingzong and Xia Wanwan were dressed in a short, golden brown outfit, with a weapon-forging hammer hanging at their waist. They were looking down and teasing the shrunken Flame Spider in their hands.

Jin Jiuying of Chonggu had her face covered by a black veil, and the silver bell in her hand trembled lightly in the wind.

The demon-faced woman from the Demonic Pavilion was dressed in a black cloak, revealing only her pair of embroidered mandarin duck shoes. Her puppet husband stood quietly beside her.

Bai Shengjie of the Yuqing Sect was covered in the fragrance of medicine, with a smile always on his face. A small white ape perched on his shoulder, baring its teeth and holding a jade pestle.

Everyone else stood ramrod straight, full of vigor and vitality, except for…

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged on the sand, yawning as if she hadn't woken up yet. Hua Gu spread out her body and hung above her head to shade her from the sun and cool her down.

The people next to her all looked over, their faces taut from the scorching sun. Seeing Jiang Yi looking cool and comfortable, they all felt very unhappy.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from yawning, and said, "I'm too weak to stand, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Xia Wanwan rolled her eyes, thinking that she had better have real skills, otherwise she would be beaten to death sooner or later for pretending like this!
Upon hearing this, Liu Taozhi, who was standing quite far away, thought to herself that her senior sister's spiritual root had been shattered and her body must not have recovered yet. She used to be such a strong person who never backed down in the face of the demonic tide, but now she was tired even just standing.

My senior sister is so pitiful—

Mingzhuang from Chimeizhai chuckled softly, turning to look at her corpse puppet husband. The corpse puppet immediately took out a red oiled paper umbrella, opened it, and shaded Mingzhuang from the sun. Mingzhuang said shyly, "Thank you, husband."

Seeing this, Xia Wanwan said sarcastically, "You've been controlling all of this yourself. What are you pretending to be, a loving couple?"

clang--

A clear, melodious bell rang out from above, and the Jade Pot True Lord of the Jade Purity Sect descended slowly from the glazed platform, his steps graceful and elegant.

"Gentlemen, the first Inquiry Meeting was held in a hurry, so we will not follow many rules. Today, I will preside over this meeting."

With a light flick of his wide sleeves, Jade Pot True Lord sent eight pills soaring into the sky.

“Each of you choose one pill, and draw lots to determine the order.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the people present each used their unique abilities to take away a pill.

Jiang Yi slowly stood up, lightly forming a hand seal with her fingertips. A purification spell swept across her red robe like ripples on water, and fine sand grains fell down.

She lazily reached out and took the last cyan pill. As soon as the pill touched her, it transformed into a refreshing medicinal power that traveled through her meridians and throughout her body, instantly dispelling all fatigue and leaving her feeling refreshed.

Looking around, the other seven prodigies were also radiant and full of fighting spirit.

A number appeared above each person's head.

A gentle breeze stirred up the yellow sand, which transformed into several large characters in mid-air. Even the Qi Refining cultivators far away on the battlements of Flint City could see them clearly with their naked eyes.

Liu Taozhi of Xuanying Sword Sect versus Mingzhuang of Chimeizhai.

Liu Jingzong Yan Kongqing versus Zhu Mingzong Xia Wanwan.

Bai Shengjie of the Yuqing Sect versus Jin Jiuying of the Insect Valley.

Jiang Heying of Cangling Sect versus Mo Liao of Mo Family Fortress.

As soon as the list was announced, the Jade Pot True Lord in mid-air lightly raised his fingertips, and a clear light suddenly flowed from his sleeve, like the rising vapor of a newly opened medicine furnace, instantly filling the entire desert.

"rise."

With a soft shout, the sand trembled.

Four emerald beams of light shot into the sky from the desert, swirling and intertwining in mid-air.

In an instant, the scorching heat and burning winds that stretched for miles were swept away, replaced by a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

The desert split open into four ravines, from which scorching fire surged forth. Guided by the Jade Pot True Lord, the fire scorched the sand sea and, in the blink of an eye, formed four glazed platforms.

Jiang Yi looked down at the soles of her shoes. They looked quite slip-resistant, so everything was fine.

"fall!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Jade Pot True Lord solidified the four glass platforms that were enveloped by the great formation, like four jade-like medicinal fields emerging from the sand. The intense heat was completely contained, leaving only a gentle and spiritual charm like a spring breeze and rain.

"Without further ado, enter the battle formation and let the duel begin!"

Jiang Yi liked this concise and efficient style of doing things without lengthy explanations. When Mo Liao from Mo Family Fort stepped onto the arena first, she followed closely behind with Hua Gu.

In the distance, Shen Puning, Xin Wushuang, Zhao Cangyun, and Feng Wuhen were all crammed onto the luxurious flying boat of the Qitian Imperial Envoy, nervously watching the location of Jiang Yi and Mo Liao.

After all, Jiang Yi's win or loss is of great importance!
Mo Liao is the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator of this generation in Mo Family Fortress. Although he only has the cultivation level of late Foundation Establishment, his mechanical puppet 'Hundred Bones' is extraordinary. It was created by his family over three generations and passed down to him.

Among the group, Chu Qianji, the slovenly puppeteer dressed in an old Taoist robe, spoke up, “This battle is likely to be difficult and protracted. Our Senior Sister Heying is skilled in healing, but the Mo Liao on the other side also doesn’t fight personally.”

"Once his 'Hundred Bones' puppet is fully deployed, it can be freely reassembled and transformed. A single puppet can become a giant puppet, and in a group, small mechanisms can cover the entire arena. His fighting style is versatile. At that time, Mo Liao only needs to hide behind many puppet mechanisms and repair the damaged parts in time."

"Most importantly, the Mo Family Fortress is rich. The consumption of mechanical puppets can be completely replaced by spirit stones. In terms of consumption, I'm afraid our Senior Sister He Ying really can't compare to Mo Liao. After all, this is a desert area with insufficient wood spiritual energy. There is also a gap in cultivation between her and Mo Liao. It's difficult!" Upon hearing this, everyone frowned and looked worried.

Only Zhao Cangyun, Shen Puning, and Xin Wushuang disagreed with Chu Qianji's words. Zhao Cangyun said, "You underestimate my senior sister too much."

Xin Wushuang nodded, and Shen Puning snorted, "Just you wait and see, Ayi will definitely give us a surprise!"

Feng Wuhen scratched his face, "But judging from this, the champion will be decided today. If we consume too much energy in the first round, it may be disadvantageous for the rest of the competition."

"Shut your crow mouth!"

Before Zhao Cangyun could speak, Qi Tian glared at Feng Wuhen. He had bet more than anyone else, and he had to win this game. If Jiang Yi dared to lose, he would... he would cry in front of her!

Not far from them, numerous sword cultivators from the Xuan Ying Sword Sect were flying in the air on their swords, arms crossed, their postures and expressions identical, exuding arrogance.

"Don't worry, senior brothers and sisters. Although we don't have many spirit stones, we've bet them all on the fake one!"

"Very well, I refuse to believe that she can continue to pretend in front of these true geniuses!"

clang--

The bronze bell rang, and the four matches began simultaneously.

On the glass platform, Mo Liao, dressed in black and made entirely of black iron, stood to the side with his 'Hundred Bones' mechanical armor, composed of complex gears and mechanisms, like a silent weapon of death.

Mo Liao raised his eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Jiang Heying, why aren't you sitting down?"

Jiang Yi stretched lazily, "What's the rush?"

"Then I won't be polite!"

Before he finished speaking, he took a step back, his right arm swung violently, and the Hundred Bones Armor suddenly split apart!
Countless mechanical parts scattered like a swarm of bees, rapidly recombining in mid-air to transform into various different mechanisms, overwhelming Jiang Yi like a stampede of thousands of horses!

However, Jiang Yi merely raised her eyes slightly, flipped her hand to take out the Floating Life Zither and placed it on her lap, then sat cross-legged on the ground. Hua Gu quickly transformed into a cloud of mist and wrapped around her right arm.

Fusion: Wind and Thunder Spirit Pact!

In an instant, Jiang Yi's body crackled with electricity, a thunderous roar echoed above his head, and dark clouds rolled in.

Before Mo Liao could complete the assembly of his mechanisms, Jiang Yi plucked the strings with his ten fingers, and the sound of the zither was like the sound of clashing swords splitting the sky, or like the sound of raging waves.

Countless celestial sword energies roared out from the sword-nurturing gourd, like a cascading galaxy, precisely locking onto the scattered mechanical parts under the guidance of the zither music, and fiercely bombarding them.

Mo Liao was caught off guard. He did not expect Jiang Yi to attack so quickly and accurately. Under the bombardment of those Heavenly Gang Sword Qi, the surface of the Xuan Iron parts cracked with spider web-like patterns, but did not completely collapse.

I was initially quite startled by Jiang Yi's sudden unleashed move, but what did I see?
Mo Liao's tense nerves relaxed slightly. After all, the Hundred Bones Armor was forged using the secret methods of the Mo family, and its hardness was comparable to that of the core of a magic weapon. How could it be easily broken?
However, before Mo Liao's relief could take shape, the thunderclouds above Jiang Yi's head suddenly surged violently!
Soul-Chasing Thunder!
Countless lightning bolts poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens, transforming into a dazzling waterfall of lightning that crashed down!
The moment the Soul-Chasing Thunder struck a second time, the entire sea of ​​sand turned a ghastly white. The mechanical parts that had previously only cracked but not broken were quickly frozen and then exploded in the lightning, with fragments of black iron flying everywhere. Mo Liao didn't even have time to retrieve them before he watched helplessly as his family's ancestral Hundred-Bone Mechanical Armor vanished into thin air.

Zheng!
Before the smoke and dust had cleared, the sound of the zither suddenly arose.

The scattered Heavenly Gang Sword Qi suddenly reformed, forming the Three Talents Sword Formation to seal off all of Mo Liao's escape routes. The sword's edge drew lightning from above, crackling and spreading cold air, making his stiff pupils flicker.

Jiang Yi stood up, her red dress fluttering like blood.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you flatter me."

Mo Liao: (ΩДΩ)
The entire audience fell silent, then erupted in a deafening gasp!

"This...this is it?!"

The Xuan Ying sword cultivators' faces turned ashen.

"Mo Liao's body didn't even have time to unfold its full form!"

The monks of Mo Family Castle found it hard to believe.

"Jiang Heying of the Cangling Sect...is terrifyingly powerful!"

"So she really wasn't using her full strength before!"

In mid-air, Chu Qianji and the others watching the battle were dumbfounded, realizing that their understanding of Jiang Yi was still too shallow.

Shen Puning excitedly pumped her fist, "I knew it!"

Zhao Cangyun laughed exaggeratedly, "Big Sister did a great job, hahaha! Since Mo Liao is difficult to deal with after deploying all the mechanical mechanisms, then we just prevent him from deploying them. It's that simple, hahaha!"

Chu Qianji swallowed hard, and like Xiao Jue beside him, he silently hugged the storage bag containing the puppet armor, thinking that he would never fight Jiang Yi again, because he was too brutal!

at the same time.

The Nascent Soul cultivators, who couldn't show themselves due to their status but were secretly watching the duel between the prodigies, had different expressions.

Tian Shou Zhenjun pursed his lips, suppressing the gloating corners of his mouth. He thought to himself that this time, his Lian Zheng was not the most humiliated. At least Lian Zheng had lasted for dozens of moves. This Mo Liao was even more miserable, being defeated in one move. Hahaha, cough.

Don't laugh, have some tea, I'll visit Mojiabao in a few days.

Jade Pot True Lord smiled at Danxi and said, "Your disciple is truly extraordinary. He is skilled in the art of playing the zither, the art of controlling demons, and he also knows the art of swordsmanship and sword formations. It seems that he has learned a wide variety of skills, but he has coordinated them all very well. He ended the battle with a single strike."

"It also preserves our combat strength for subsequent battles, and the time saved is perfect for observing other opponents. They are clear-headed and shrewd. It's been a while since I've seen such a well-rounded junior."

As Jade Pot True Monarch spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yurong out of the corner of his eye. The last junior to give her such a pleasant surprise was Jiang Fengying, what a pity...

Xia Yangming nodded repeatedly, praising her while also expressing some concern for Xia Wanwan of his Xia family.

Danxi caught a glimpse of Jiang Yurong's ashen face out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but say smugly, "Thanks to the little girl's parents, they have such a self-disciplined, ambitious, and quick-witted child. She can learn anything and I don't have to worry about her too much. I'm just lucky to have gotten her."

Jiang Yurong: …………
