I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 329 Core Formation Part 3 (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Songjiang City, the Shen family.

"Mother, I want to go with you."

With red eyes, Shen Puning grabbed Shen Hongxiu's sleeve. Seeing that her mother was unmoved, she turned her pitiful gaze to her three older sisters and her father.

Shen Hongxiu said firmly, "How old are you to still be crying like this? Stand up straight for me!"

Shen Puning sobbed and let go of his hand to stand up straight.

Shen Hongxiu said earnestly, "It's not that I don't want you to go, but the Immortal Alliance's ship can go directly to the Eastern Continent. There are so many people in our Shen family, the nine Immortal Sects won't arrange a special ship for us. Our Shen family has its own merchant ships, but we are going to the Southern Wilderness, not the Eastern Continent."

"The Southern Wilderness is a desolate and dangerous place, fraught with peril. Your cultivation level is too low. Why don't you stay in the Eastern Continent with your master and the people of the Cangling Sect for now? When you reach the peak of the Golden Core stage, come to the Southern Wilderness to reunite with us. We will be waiting for you there, okay?"

Shen Puning's three older sisters also tried to comfort her. Shen Puning knew that they were doing it for her own good, but this separation might last for decades or even a century. How could she not be sad?

Shen Hongxiu and the others also had tears in their eyes.

Shen Puning finally nodded, and Shen Hongxiu solemnly placed a storage ring in her hand, telling her to take good care of herself.

……

Cangling Sect.

Shang Shixu had no relatives left in this place, so he left with Longri Zhenjun without any objection.

When asked about Zhao Cangyun and the others, Shang Shixu learned that they were among the first to leave, so he had nothing to worry about. He spent his days running around with Longri Zhenjun, collecting the resources to be taken away.

As for Huiyuan, he was at a loss for words when faced with Xin Wushuang's questioning.

"We cultivators can escape, but what about the mortals?"

Huiyuan Zhenjun scratched his head in frustration. He, who was usually eloquent and could distinguish all kinds of principles, was speechless. He couldn't bear to let Xin Wushuang's pure heart be tainted.

This evacuation has kept not only ordinary people in the dark, but also all the rogue cultivators in the Northern Xuan region completely unaware that the Northern Xuan region has reached its end.

The Immortal Alliance has ordered a news blackout, and only high-ranking members and elite disciples within the major sects currently know the inside story.

If Bei Xuan can hold out long enough, the lower-level disciples of the sect will still have a chance to wait for the merchant ship to leave.

If those rogue cultivators are perceptive enough, they will find their own way to leave Beixuan. The rest will eventually perish along with Beixuan.

If even cultivators are like this, what about mortals whose lifespan is only a few decades and whose lives are as insignificant as grass?
Blood seeped from Xin Wushuang's tightly clenched fist. Her expression was cold and stern. She slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I understand, Master. Please give me one day. I want to go back and see it one more time, just one more time, the last time..."

Huiyuan sighed silently and patted Xin Wushuang on the shoulder.

……

At the foot of Xuan Ying Sword Sect Mountain lies the anti-demon base camp.

Ignoring the guards' attempts to stop him, Liu Taozhi barged into Jiang Yurong's tent where she was resting.

“Master, I won’t leave. I want to stay with you until the very end.”

As soon as Liu Taozhi spoke, Jiang Yurong frowned and her aura grew even colder.

She loosened her legs from sitting cross-legged and sat upright on the edge of the soft couch. "Do you know why people always say you'll never be as good as your senior sister?"

Liu Tao shook her head in silence.

"It's because you're indecisive!"

"But Master..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yurong interrupted Liu Taozhi. Liu Taozhi bit her lip, feeling that her master had changed recently. If it were before, her master would definitely have made the entire Xuan Ying Sword Sect united and stay in Bei Xuan until the very last moment.

Desertion in the face of battle is the thing that Master cannot tolerate the most.

But this time, Master actually ordered everyone in the Xuan Ying Sword Sect to leave, in order of cultivation level from low to high, with the disciples of lower cultivation level leaving first and the disciples of higher cultivation level leaving last.

Liu Taozhi had seen the list. She, along with two Nascent Soul Sword Lords and Luo Qingsi and several other Golden Core stage sword cultivators, were also in the first batch to leave. This batch would bring with them the important inherited sword manual of the Xuan Ying Sword Sect.

However, neither Master's own name nor Master Luo Qingsi's name were on the list.

Jiang Yurong felt a surge of anger when she saw Liu Taozhi's tearful expression, but she managed to suppress it.

"If your senior sister were here, she wouldn't rush up to me and say she wouldn't leave. She always knows what's important and what's urgent, she can see the situation clearly and knows what the best course of action is."

"Yaoyao, there is still much for you to learn, but I don't have that much time left for you to learn. From this moment on, no matter how you overcome it, you must have the mindset and ability to stand on your own."

“After leaving Beixuan, you will no longer have my protection, nor will you have the Xuan Ying Sword Sect to back you up. I don’t expect you to have the energy to take care of others. As long as you can survive in Dongzhou and uphold your sword heart, you will not have failed my teachings!” “Master…” Liu Tao’s heart was filled with reluctance.

Jiang Yurong closed her eyes and waved her hand, "Go and prepare. Get to Nanguan Ferry as soon as possible. You don't have much time left."

Liu Taozhi suppressed her tears, took two steps back, knelt down, and solemnly kowtowed three times to Jiang Yurong. She then stood up, wiped away her tears, and left without looking back.

……

At Nanguan Ferry, massive merchant ships lined up in the thin morning light, like lurking giants.

Cultivators came and went in an endless stream, the city was noisy, but the sea was unusually calm.

The fierce winds that had persisted for more than thirty years suddenly ceased, and the boundless sea revealed an unprecedented gentleness.

The path to leaving Beixuan has begun!

The cultivators who had gathered at Nanguan Ferry to wait for their departure all looked up to the north, where a chilling pressure was brewing beneath the still, dark sky.

Boom!

A muffled thunderclap exploded from the depths of the North Sea.

On the city wall of Yunzhan Pass, the flame of the Soul Lamp in Danxi's palm suddenly blazed brightly.

In the deepest part of the North Sea, the rolling darkness was torn apart, and a purple electric python, wrapped in filthy demonic energy, burst out of the abyss, instantly connecting heaven and earth.

Danxi's pupils contracted. "Golden Core Tribulation? She actually formed her core deep within the demonic tide?"

Tribulation lightning is both an obstacle and a gift from the Heavenly Dao.

Three bolts of lightning, low-grade golden elixir.

Six Paths of Thunder, Mid-Grade Golden Core.

Nine bolts of lightning, a superior-grade golden elixir.

As for the Heavenly Grade Golden Elixir... Danxi has never seen it before, but she's heard it involves eighteen tribulation lightning strikes.

The tribulation lightning became increasingly dangerous as it progressed. She had survived nine tribulations back then, barely clinging to life.

If it weren't for Jiang Yurong, who had reached the Core Formation stage before her, protecting her, even a small sea monster could have taken her life.

Calamity clouds swept across a thousand miles of sea, and lightning illuminated the entire demonic tide. Countless distorted faces emerged from the waves of filthy blood and rotting flesh, emitting ear-piercing screams.

Like a surging tide, it swept towards the shores of Beihai.

"Good disciple, today your master will fight alongside you! You just focus on forming your core, the rest..."

Danxi rose into the air, her red robes fluttering in the gale, her silver whip slicing streaks of fire through the sky.

"Leave it to your master!"

……

At the heart of the demonic tide, the nightmare demon's body was pierced by tribulation lightning, writhing in agony.

The Jiang Yi stuck in its throat could neither be spat out nor swallowed, so it could only twist its body to hide deeper into the demonic tide.

Inside the nightmare demon's body, Jiang Yi was completely engulfed by lightning.

The first bolt of tribulation lightning fell like a spear of heavenly punishment, but it was blocked by an invisible force above her head, rippling out like waves in the lightning and fire.

The fine lightning flashes entered her translucent dantian, and the ninth golden pattern completely solidified!
At the same time, inside Youxian Ferry.

In the Sword Washing Pool, the Gang Sha Thunder Crystal exploded, and Hua Gu transformed into a frost-covered white crane, battling against thousands of electric snakes.

Inside the Forging Cave, flames surged like a furnace, and the golden unicorn phantom surrounding Hong Li emitted a clear whistle.

Starlight poured down on Sword Tomb Mountain, and the mountain-suppressing stone and the broken gold stone body cracked and regenerated, endlessly repeating the cycle.

Beneath the Azure Wood Cauldron, the Zhaoming Sword resonated with a long, resounding sound, and the cauldron spewed forth azure energy of the Yi Wood, enveloping the sword's blade.

The Heart-Piercing Mirror hangs in the Pine Breeze Pavilion, its surface shimmering with eerie colored light.

The Five Elements Grand Array shone brightly into the sky, and the calamities of the demons became intertwined with Jiang Yi's life!

　That's it for today. I'll write the rest tomorrow; I don't feel like writing today.

　　As usual, I'm asking for your monthly votes. See you tomorrow!
