I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 421 Gathering of Heroes (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the central square of the thirteen cultivator cities in the Kunwu Mountains, a huge blue light flowed across the sky, projecting the fierce battle in the Azure Nether Forest in real time.

The screen transitions between various battlefields, focusing on the recognized top contenders in this Golden Core stage ranking competition.

Lei Wanting of the Primordial Sword Sect was like a ferocious humanoid beast, his body wrapped in dazzling lightning. Every time his greatsword slashed down, it brought with it a burst of lightning, blasting a giant ape beast the size of a small mountain, along with the ancient tree it was in, into charred and pulverized pieces.

"Primordial Thunder Madman! This power is too domineering!"

Shi Han of Guiyi Sword Pavilion of Lingxu Sword Sect remained silent as a mountain. He pushed his younger brother Shi Zhen aside, and the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword on his back rolled over like a city wall, forcibly pressing the three attacking demonic beasts into the ground.

"Shi Han of Lingxu Sword Sect is ridiculously strong in both defense and strength. He went to Taichu Sword Sect as an exchange disciple before, and I heard that he fought Lei Wanting to a draw several times, with neither side gaining the upper hand."

On the edge of the gloomy swamp, Shen Qingming of the Qingwei Sword Sect protected her junior sisters behind her. Her white figure moved swiftly, and with each swing of her long sword, large swathes of ice crystals spread rapidly.

The scene also features his junior sister, Bai Lu, whose sword energy brings withered trees back to life, cleverly trapping several demonic beasts in the cage of the Green Vine Sword Intent.

"As expected of Bai Lu, the esteemed disciple of Ice Soul Fairy and Sword Master Tinglan. I heard that Sword Master Tinglan also took on a junior disciple named Liu Taozhi. Why haven't we seen her make a move?"

In a narrow valley, the rogue cultivator Jing Qisha's one eye flashed with a fierce light, and the broken longsword in his hand emitted a mournful howl. The invisible vengeful spirit sword energy forced the two sword cultivators who were trying to surround him to the point of mental collapse.

"The Soul-Slaying Sword! That fiend has actually come too!"

Among the rogue sword cultivators, there were three formidable figures. Another rogue cultivator, Kuang Zhou, dressed in a straw raincoat and bamboo hat, effortlessly deflected the cunning attack with a casual slash of his short sword, much to the admiration of the onlookers.

"This person is not to be underestimated; he has reached a state of returning to simplicity and authenticity."

Every scene on the sky was filled with the tremors of the earth, accompanied by the destruction of trees, and the battle scenes were extremely intense.

Countless sword cultivators are engaged in bloody battles with ferocious demonic beasts, and sword cultivators from various sects are frequently taking action to eliminate potential powerful opponents in advance. The forest is a battlefield of life and death, which is thrilling to watch.

Suddenly, the scene shifted without warning, and the bustling square fell silent for a moment.

On the sky, there was no longer the carnage of battle, but a cluster of white clouds drifting leisurely among the ancient trees.

Above the clouds, a woman dressed in a blue sword robe leaned back, two swords tucked into her back. She didn't even sit up straight, just lazily lounging around, occasionally glancing casually at her surroundings. When attacked by demonic beasts, she would avoid them if possible.

"This...who is this?"

"Is the Azure Forest a training ground, and she's treating it like a picnic?"

"Traveling on clouds? What kind of operation is that?!"

"Is that cloud a spirit pet? Good heavens, everyone else is fighting desperately to get somewhere, and she's using a spirit pet for transportation? She's so lazy!"

"Wait, isn't she the legendary 'Senior Sister' of the Lingxu Sword Sect? Her name is Jiang something... Jiang Heying?"

"That's her! She caused quite a stir a few years ago, and it's said that she defeated all the elite Golden Core stage cultivators from the nine sword pavilions of the Lingxu Sword Sect!"

"This is lazy? You're kidding me!"

"Exactly, looking at her, how does she resemble a sword master? A dignified sword cultivator actually keeps a spirit pet?"

In a corner of Qing Shi City Square, the Bei Xuan group, who were tense due to the fierce battle, instantly relaxed when they saw the familiar person on the sky and that signature lazy posture.

Chu Qianji, Cang Qingyue, and the others couldn't help but smile, exchanging knowing glances and laughing silently.

Standing to the side, Xu Manxiu recalled the various scenes of being dominated by his senior sister in the Xuan Ying Sword Sect, and listened to the chorus of doubts around him, and gently shook his head.

On the distant pavilion, True Lord Huiyuan and True Lord Longri and the others exchanged smiles, looking at Jiang Yi on the light screen with the loving gaze one would give to their own child.

Everyone remained silent amidst the surrounding doubts, simply straightening their backs slightly, waiting to see Jiang Yi deliver a stunning blow.
At that time, the atmosphere inside the main hall of the Qingwei Sword Sect was solemn and dignified, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

On the main seat in the main hall, three Star Lords at the Void Refinement stage sat side by side, their invisible pressure enveloping the entire area.

To the left sat Dao Yuan Xingjun of the Lingxu Sword Sect. He had white hair and a youthful face, and wore a loose blue Daoist robe. He leaned casually against the armrest, as if he were not in a serious meeting, but listening to a story in a small mountain inn.

In the center is Cangyi Xingjun of the Qingwei Sword Sect. She is a female cultivator with a cold and noble temperament, like a snow lotus on a high mountain. Her back is straight, her hands are folded on her knees, her expression is calm and undisturbed, and her eyes are so deep that they seem to be able to see through everything.

To the right sat Yuan Shu Xingjun of the Taichu Sword Sect. He was tall and imposing, with a face as if carved by a knife and axe, and eyes as sharp as lightning. Even when he was sitting still, he exuded a majestic and domineering aura that looked down on the world.

Seated on either side of the main hall were Nascent Soul cultivators representing the leading sects of the eight major states, and two representatives specially invited from the Southern Wilderness and the Western Spirit.

Representing the Southern Wilderness was a burly giant with bronze skin, clad in heavy armor with black iron beast patterns. His bare arms were covered with blood-red totems. His eyes were like torches, and although he deliberately concealed his aura, his fierce martial will was still as terrifying as a lurking beast. He was said to be the number one warrior under the current barbarian king of the Southern Wilderness, named 'Yan Kui'.

Seated in the seats of Xilingzhou was a dignified young monk with a vermilion dot between his eyebrows like red jade. His snow-white kasaya was shimmering with golden Sanskrit inscriptions. He held a gilded vajra, and his lowered eyes exuded both compassion and majesty. He was known as the 'Venerable Pure Karma'.

In addition, there are Jiang Yunye, representing Beixuan, Fairy Suhua, Jue Mingzi, and Youying.

There should have been another Xia Changying, but he is now sitting in the seat representing Lizhou, with a reserved smile on his face and his eyes subtly scanning the crowd.

Seeing that Xia Changying's cultivation had improved significantly recently and his aura had become increasingly domineering, Jiang Yunye barely managed to suppress his glare, inwardly cursing him countless times as an ungrateful wretch.

A huge light screen also floats in the center of the main hall, clearly projecting the real-time scene of the Azure Forest.

At that moment, the image froze on Jiang Yi.

Seeing this, Fairy Suhua frowned even more. She turned her head and leaned close to Jiang Yunye beside her, whispering in a voice transmission that only the two of them could hear.

"Yunye, has this child been like this all these years at the Lingxu Sword Sect?"

Jiang Yunye's expression remained unchanged, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible pride, feeling that his grand-disciple had quite the same style as him. "Well, this kid is just good at doing things in a way that's comfortable. Saving effort is also a skill."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Suhua was almost speechless with anger. "Nonsense! What kind of occasion is this? How can she be allowed to be so lazy? I will have to discipline this child myself. If she stays in your Liuyun Pavilion and has you as her role model, she will probably be completely ruined!"

"Huh? What did I do?" Jiang Yunye was indignant, his mustache twitching as he prepared to retort telepathically.

Before he could finish speaking, Jue Mingzi and You Ying, who were sitting on his other side, glanced at him almost simultaneously.

Upon receiving the signal, Jiang Yunye remembered today's topic and their respective positions, his momentum immediately deflated, and he mumbled something, swallowing back what he was about to say.

Just then, the Qingwei Sword Sect's Cangyi Star Lord, seated in the center of the main seat, spoke. Her voice was clear and melodious, like an icy spring, and it resonated throughout every corner of the hall, instantly silencing all the whispers.

"Fellow Daoists, you must have all heard about the events in Beixuan. The demonic tide devoured the land, and hundreds of millions of lives in Beixuan were wiped out. This kind of change has affected the whole world and is by no means a calamity limited to Beixuan alone."

She paused slightly, her gaze slowly sweeping across the entire room.

All the Nascent Soul cultivators, including the few on Jiang Yunye's side, straightened their backs instantly, their expressions varying—some solemn, some inquisitive, and some indifferent.

"The reason I have gathered you all here today is to discuss how our various continents in the Mountain and Sea Realm should respond to this calamity."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless eyes focused on Jiang Yunye and his group.

Dao Yuan Xingjun of Lingxu Sword Sect raised his hand and gestured, "Yun Ye, tell me more about what you found out in Bei Xuan."

Jiang Yunye stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and took out the recording stone that he and Su Hua had made when they went to Beixuan. He then began to recount the whole story.

Today, in addition to making everyone present pay attention to the matter of the demonic tide, we must also find a way out for the cultivators of Beixuan, so that Dongzhou can truly accept them and that Beixuan's way of controlling demons can continue in Dongzhou.

　See you tomorrow~
