I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 314 The War Begins (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Jiang Yi's consciousness plummeted into the deep sea, with countless shattered dreams squeezing in from all directions like bubbles.

She 'saw'...

The kneeling man kowtowed repeatedly to the clay statue of a deity, pleading, "Please, Pillow Immortal, let my wife give birth to a child with spiritual roots."

The frail old woman placed the last half bowl of rice on the offering table, saying, "Let me see my sister one more time in my dreams."

The mad scholar slit his wrists with a knife, laughing wildly in the pool of blood, "I swear by my blood that I will serve the Holy Lord for life, and I beg the Holy Lord to grant me a destiny of immortality."

Each dream transformed into thick, black threads, binding Jiang Yi and dragging her deeper into darkness.

In the darkness, tides surged, uttering strange, overlapping murmurs of millions.

"Come back..."

Jiang Yi's physical body trembled slightly, and his fire spirit root erupted with a crimson torrent of lava, mixed with dark demonic energy, which swept over his entire body.

A touch of scarlet tinge appeared between Jiang Yi's brows, as alluring as a cinnabar mole.

The spiritual energy formed by the Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture circulated on its own, transforming into the phantom of peach blossom branches that grew wildly, wrapping around Jiang Yi's body. The pink and white petals and the demonic energy canceled each other out, purifying themselves on their own.

Seeing this, the Flower Maiden's clone, who was guarding nearby, immediately rose up and sent down moon-soul rain, extending a misty hand to gently shake Jiang Yi, trying to wake her up.

Suddenly, crimson flames erupted from Jiang Yi's body, and Hua Gu was thrown into the air and crashed into the wall on the other side of the inn.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Jiang Yi's eyes were sinister as he sat up from the bed, his body wreathed in intertwined black and red demonic flames.

She traced the red mole between her brows with her fingertips, her voice filled with manic laughter, "Can you feel it? The Demon Lord is awakening all the sleeping demon seeds!"

Jiang Yi stood by the bed, her hair dancing wildly in the demonic energy. "Let's welcome the Demon Lord together and slaughter this city, hahaha... uh!"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and she suddenly clutched her throat, her pupils flashing violently between clarity and confusion.

"I'm asleep, not dead. Go back!"

With a loud shout, the red mole between Jiang Yi's eyebrows and the black and red demonic flames around her exploded instantly, sending shockwaves through the air and turning everything in the room into charcoal in an instant.

Hua Gu promptly spread out frost to protect herself, and the protective array inside the room blocked the aftershocks, preventing them from spreading outwards.

Jiang Yi stood in the charred room, her inner clothes were clean and her eyebrows and eyes were pure, without a trace of dirt.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the demon lord known as 'Nightmare' screamed in anguish, "You won't be arrogant for long! The aura of the Demon Lord is drawing ever closer, and the power of my demonic seed is constantly increasing. Let's see how long you can keep me locked up. When that time comes, I will take your filthy body and return to the embrace of the Demon Lord!"

"Ha~"

Jiang Yi slowly raised her eyes and met the demon's gaze deep within her sea of ​​consciousness. Her eyes showed no trace of the panic and fear the demon had hoped for; instead, they held a smile that made the demon panic.

"Thank you, Nightmare. With you here, wouldn't it be much easier for me to find your Demon Lord?"

Nightmare's pupils contracted sharply. Jiang Yi gave her no more chance to speak and imprisoned her again behind the moonlight barrier deep within her sea of ​​consciousness.

"It's alright, Aunt Hua, don't be afraid."

(つд`) I was so scared, waaaaah...

Jiang Yi smiled gently, walked to the window, and pulled Hua Gu's clone into her arms, kneading and comforting it.

Pushing open the charred window, the wind and snow outside the inn had stopped, and the world was solemn. Jiang Yi faintly 'heard' a rumbling sound like muffled thunder coming from the sea.

Downstairs, Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang returned from outside. Jiang Yi stood on the second floor and called out to them, "Puning, Wushuang."

Upon seeing Jiang Yi, Shen Puning had just raised a smile to greet her when she was met with Jiang Yi's extremely serious expression.

"Go and inform everyone, the demonic tide has arrived!"

……

Deep in the North Sea, a deafening roar tore apart the calm surface of the water.

In an instant, the sky turned as black as ink, and amidst the rolling dark clouds, a hideous demonic face appeared, with scarlet lightning flashing within it, as if divine punishment had descended.

"Sure enough, it's here!"

On the city wall of Yunzhan Pass, an old man with snow-white hair suddenly opened his eyes.

As he took a step, golden lotuses bloomed in the void beneath his feet, carrying him across a thousand miles of sea in an instant. He released his mid-stage Nascent Soul power without reservation, and the surrounding seawater instantly sank three zhang!
"Suppress!" The old man pointed his fingers like a sword, and a golden light curtain that stretched across the sky rose from the seabed.

Countless monsters surging from the deep sea crashed into the light screen, emitting shrill screams.

The monsters came in all shapes and sizes. Some resembled giant whales but were covered in bone spurs, some were neither human nor non-human and were covered in pus and blood, and some were as large as mountains and swam in the deep sea.

"You will all die!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the old man unleashed nine golden talismans that transformed into nine hundred-foot-long golden dragons. Their roars shook the heavens, and wherever they passed, all the demons turned to ashes.

However, the demonic tide was endless. Deep in the sea, a pair of scarlet demonic eyes, comparable to the sun and moon, slowly opened, broke through the Nine Dragons' blockade, and continued to surge towards the land.

Five hundred miles away from Yunzhan Pass, two Golden Core cultivators stood in mid-air, gazing at the roaring golden dragon on the horizon.

A person holds an ancient bronze mirror, and where the mirror shines, the seawater boils and evaporates.

The other person carried two flying swords on his back, their sword light intertwining into a net, shredding any monsters that managed to escape into a pulp.

"This demonic tide is more than three times more ferocious than the last one." Master Mirror said with a solemn expression.

The Sword-Bearing Master gazed into the distance. "The two of us will guard this section of the sea and eliminate as many as possible. As for the remaining fish, our disciples in the rear will handle them."

Before the words were even finished, a gigantic wave suddenly erupted on the sea.

A strange fish, the size of a whale and with bony wings on its back, burst out of the water and spewed out dark green poisonous flames from its mouth.

The two Golden Core cultivators changed color simultaneously, dodging to the left and right while launching a coordinated attack against the demon.

At the same time, towering pillars of light appeared simultaneously in ten cities of varying sizes along the coast of Beihai. These pillars of light were as thick as mountains, reaching the stars in the heavens above and connecting with the earth's energy below.

Golden runes flowed between the pillars of light, instantly forming a giant net stretching from east to west, covering a coastline of 100,000 miles.

Ten Directions Heavenly Net Formation!

The moment the great formation took shape, the entire North Sea was dyed gold. Those demons that managed to break through the first two lines of defense crashed into the great formation and instantly melted away like snow meeting the scorching sun.

Standing atop Yunzhan Pass, the cultivators guarding the city were all deeply awestruck by the earth-shaking changes they witnessed.

"This is... the foundation upon which our human race guards the Northern Xuan!"

Suddenly, a roar more terrifying than thunder came from the deep sea. The white-haired Nascent Soul elder was forced back, three of the nine dragons were shattered, and countless demons surged toward the second line of defense like a flood bursting its banks.

Inside Yunzhan Pass.

The bronze bell rang, and all Foundation Establishment cultivators assembled urgently.

Chu Qianji led the Cangling Sect members to the short-range teleportation array set up in the city, giving instructions as they went.

"We were assigned to 'Baishan Island,' a hundred miles away. This island is in the middle of the entire defense line, so the pressure is immense. There are also disciples from the Mohist School and the Liujing Sect on the island, as well as a pharmacist from the Yuqing Sect, making a total of thirty-one people."

On other islands, three Yuqing Sect pharmacists are usually assigned to assist, but on Baishan Island, they are all elites. The Yuqing Sect sent Bai Shengjie, the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator in the sect, who had shown his talent in the Zhu Ming Sect's Dao Asking Conference.

In addition, Liu Jingzong's Yan Kongqing and his junior sister Xiao Qinghuang were also present. Xiao Qinghuang was skilled in the art of cultivating the mind and restoring vitality through music, and could also provide assistance.

Finally, there's Jiang Yi. When collecting information on disciples from various sects at Yunzhan Pass, Chu Qianji added the words "skilled in healing" after her name.

So, all told, they also have three doctors on their side.

Chu Qianji continued, "Although there is the Ten Directions Heavenly Net Formation behind us, we cannot rely entirely on the formation to resist the demonic tide. The formation is our last line of defense. We must conserve our strength and do our best to clean up the demons that have leaked through the first two lines of defense."

Chu Qianji glanced at Jiang Yi and said, "Remember what Senior Sister Jiang said: as long as you don't feel fear when facing demons, you won't be corrupted by demonic thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tian rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't worry, the month we were locked up in the formation wasn't for nothing. No matter how many demons come, I'll slap them all down."

Most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators waiting to be teleported around had faces that were either ashen or deathly pale. A large portion of them were facing demons for the first time. Although they had seen most of the demons' portraits at Cloud Stack Pass this month, how many of them could withstand the erosion of demonic thoughts when they actually faced and came into contact with them?

Chu Qianji scanned the young and impetuous faces before him one by one, and solemnly gave them his instructions.

"If a cultivator around you becomes irreversibly corrupted, whether that person is a fellow disciple, a friend, or even me... I urge you to be decisive and give them a quick death!"

These words caused Qi Tian and the others' smiles to freeze instantly, and their expressions slowly darkened, like dark clouds pressing down on the sky.

Ten men went to the pass and died; how many returned covered in blood?
With no way to return home, I entrust my life and death to the vast universe!
