I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 341 Promotion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The sun rises and sets over the sea, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.

As dusk fell, the setting sun bathed the entire deserted island in a golden glow. Jiang Yi sat cross-legged on the trunk of an ancient tree on the island, a Qinghui zither gleaming with a lustrous white light on his lap. The seven strings resonated with the clang of war emanating from Jiang Yi's fingertips.

The sound waves shattered the void, and thirty-six sword energies burst forth from the Hidden Scale Sword within the zither's belly. Each one was imbued with the sharpness to cleave stars and sever the moon. Before the sword energies even arrived, the entire forest was already subdued by the invisible sound field.

The bamboo swordsman Zhaoming merged with the Yaoling sword in his hand, the sword resonating incessantly, his fighting spirit soaring.

The sword's edge left trails of fire as it passed, and the golden bamboo leaves that had been drifting around it all burst into crimson phoenix fire, transforming into a sky full of fiery meteors to meet the sound of the zither and the sword energy.

boom! boom! boom!
Each collision was like a mountain crashing, the shockwaves snapping the surrounding trees in half.

Zhaoming stepped out with the Dipper, and the Eight Trigrams Formation appeared beneath his feet. He actually walked out of the Nine Palaces Mysterious Steps amidst the encirclement of the sound swords. The phantom of the fire phoenix overlapped with his figure, and each spin brought forth a blazing wave of fire.

During this time, Zhaoming learned not only numerous sword techniques from Jiang Yi, but also the movement techniques from the Heavenly Gang Subduing Demon Sword Manual.

Zhao Ming blocked the thirty-six sword energies, but these were only the sword energies that Jiang Yi had made public. The Qin Xin Jue also contained the Shadowless Technique, and hidden beneath the thirty-six sword energies were even more Shadowless Sword energies.

Zhaoming was extremely perceptive and immediately stood still, sword in hand.

Black jade!

Zhaoming's body instantly turned into jade, and the invisible and shadowless Heavenly Gang Sword Qi slashed at his glass-like body, sparking thousands of sparks.

Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword Formation!

The entire deserted island trembled violently, the ground surged like boiling water, and countless green-gold bamboos broke through the soil. The bamboo joints were like swords, their sharpness fully revealed, and in the blink of an eye, the area within a hundred feet was transformed into a desolate bamboo forest!

Jiang Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open inch by inch. Nine of the thickest jade bamboos rose from the ground, their bamboo bodies as white as jade, with flowing sword patterns. In an instant, they transformed into nine figures that were exactly the same as Zhao Ming.

Swish!
Nine swords were drawn simultaneously, their light flashing like lightning, their sword energy weaving into a net that blocked all directions!
Jiang Yiqin's music stopped abruptly, and she immediately activated the "Xuanhuang Scripture." The yellow energy of the earth veins rose like a dragon, condensing into a thick earthen shield around her.

The sword energy collided with the yellow energy, creating shockwaves visible to the naked eye. The entire bamboo forest trembled violently, and bamboo leaves, sharp as blades, flew everywhere.

As the Nine Swords gathered their power once more, Jiang Yi's lips curled into a slight smile, and with a flick of her finger, a round, earth-yellow bead quietly fell to the ground.

The Earthly Fiend Yellow Spring Pearl!
The entire bamboo forest collapsed instantly, and endless yellow sand surged out, swallowing the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword Formation in the blink of an eye.

Nine ferocious sand worms burst forth from the sand, each as thick as a dragon, with menacing scales and fangs. They roared as they crashed into the remnants of the bamboo forest, shattering bamboo sections and dissipating sword energy wherever they went.

The swordsman Zhaoming staggered and sank into the quicksand, which gnawed at his body and power like a leech.

Jiang Yi stood holding her zither, and thirteen golden needles and red threads shot out from her sleeves, weaving a net around the bamboo swordsman.

Enraged by this, Yao Ling Sword broke free from Zhao Ming and transformed into a nine-layered phoenix shadow, attacking Jiang Yi like a barrage of bullets.

Return to dust!

Jiang Yi raised her hand, and the red thread, pulling Zhaoming, transformed into the Returning Dust Whip in mid-air and fell into her hand. A streak of light, with the force of piercing the sun, smashed through the nine layers of phoenix shadows and slammed into the Yaoling Sword.

boom!
The Yaoling Sword flew backward and crashed into the sea. The aftershocks split the seawater in two, revealing a near-shore trench that failed to close for a long time.

As the setting sun sank into the sea, the crimson flames and afterglow reflected each other on the water. Jiang Yi waved his sleeve, and the yellow sand that filled the sky swirled back, reforming into the Earthly Fiend Yellow Spring Pearl.

The deserted island returned to silence, with only the lingering sword energy and dust still slowly dissipating in the air.

Jiang Yi looked at the Earthly Fiend Yellow Spring Pearl and the thirteen golden needles and red threads hanging in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

"These two are the most powerful magic weapons I have now. The Earthly Fiend Yellow Spring Pearl can cause large-scale damage and break spells, while the Red Silk Calamity is a powerful tool for sneak attacks and control."

"The Qinghui Qin's sound waves are several times more powerful than the Fusheng Qin's. I also consumed one of the Seven Emotions Pills that Hongli had previously refined, and my comprehension of the Seven Emotions Melody has reached the advanced level. My divine sense has transformed into thirty-six swords, and I have basically mastered the sword intent of the Tiangang Subduing Demon Sword. Combined with the Bright Mirror Heart Flame, I am confident that I can face off against a late-stage Golden Core cultivator head-on in terms of attack."

"In the Xuanhuang Scripture, Xuan Qi transforms into escape and Huang Qi transforms into a shield. When one reaches the Golden Core stage, Xuan Qi can escape without leaving a trace, and Huang Qi can petrify the body, allowing one to withstand magical attacks and maximize defensive capabilities. When one cultivates the Qingdi Longevity Scripture to the Golden Core stage, one's resistance to toxins, healing and purification abilities, as well as the ability to conceal oneself in plants and trees and to escape through wood, are all enhanced."

"It also has the healing ability of 'limb regeneration' and a control spell called 'Azure Origin Binding Life', which can transform the wood-type true essence in the body into vines, or stimulate and control nearby vine plants to bind enemies and quickly absorb their blood and true essence to nourish oneself and teammates."

"After mastering mana in the late Golden Core stage, this spell can be upgraded to a super-level spell. As long as there is a vine within a hundred feet of the caster, it can be instantly transformed into a vine domain. All the vines can be controlled at will. Not only can they bind and suck blood, but they can also be transformed into spikes and vine barriers. As long as the caster has enough true essence and divine sense, they can almost live within the domain."

When Jiang Yi thought of vines, he thought of the tender branch of the immortal vine in Youxian Ferry. It was the 'child' of the sect-protecting immortal vine. If it was properly nurtured, it would definitely become a terrifying existence in the future when combined with Qingyuan Binding Life.

Jiang Yi doesn't plan to practice Kun Di's fist technique; he'll leave it to Zhen Shan to learn. Duan Jin is currently focusing on puppetry and learning whip techniques.

The "Kun Yuan Creation Technique" combines with the Breath of Earth, possessing the ability to turn soil into soldiers and create all things. Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a cultivation technique, but rather a method specifically designed to cultivate the Breath of Earth. Combining it with the Xuanhuang Scripture to cultivate the Xuanhuang Qi will yield twice the results with half the effort.

The Breath Soil enhanced the spiritual soil in the Immortal Crossing, greatly shortening the maturation time of spiritual herbs. She did not incorporate the Breath Soil into her body for the time being. As long as she used the Kunyuan Creation Technique to transfer the Xuanhuang Qi she had cultivated into the spiritual fields of the Immortal Crossing every few days, the Breath Soil could be nourished.

When the time is right, she can activate the infinitely multiplying power of this grain of earth, take a portion of it and put it into her dantian, and casually create 'ceasefire'.

With a wave of the hand, the earth scatters and transforms into thousands of troops upon landing. Damaged terracotta warriors can absorb the earth's energy and regenerate on their own.

Jiang Yi estimated that this would be possible at least at the Nascent Soul stage. For now, it would be fine to use the Breath Soil to cultivate spiritual herbs. The tender branches of the Immortal Vine also liked the aura of the Breath Soil and would grow quickly.

"Let's go, Zhaoming Yaoling, let's go back."

Just as Jiang Yi had returned Zhaoming and Yaoling to Youxian Ferry, he suddenly sensed a message from Hua Gu.

Because she lacked cultivation techniques for the Golden Core stage, Hua Gu could not continue her cultivation, so she took the initiative to take on patrol duties. Every day, she would split into two groups, carrying crow puppet shadow sentries, to guard around the island and hunt down some low-level sea monsters.

At this moment, Hua Gu said that there were sounds of fighting coming from the direction of Bei Xuan, and someone was being chased and was rapidly approaching this direction.

Jiang Yi rushed to the location where Hua Gu was. After using the "One Leaf Obscuring the Eyes" technique to conceal her figure, she approached to investigate and discovered that the person being chased was actually an acquaintance.
