I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 606 Demonic Tide (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The three of them, using tea instead of wine, tentatively agreed to a cooperation.

After setting down his teacup, Shen Xingxian hesitated for a moment before asking, "Please forgive my impertinence, but besides the mining golems, may I ask you, fellow Daoist, how to make these demonic beasts obey commands and perform some simple tasks?"

Shen Xingxian had learned some things about demon spirits from Xia Wanwan, and he could distinguish between demon spirits and demon beasts.

At this moment, those working on Jiangyi Island, digging foundations, paving roads, driving piles, and laying bricks, are all demon spirits, but those responsible for simple tasks such as transporting building materials, clearing debris, and compacting the foundation are all demon beasts.

There are also many demonic beasts on the island of Ziyang Sect, which have not yet been completely eradicated. They are all surrounded on the west side of the island, and perhaps he can make use of them.

Jiang Yi understood Shen Xingxian's thoughts, but...

“If you can’t learn it, you have to let Xia Wanwan do it. I’ll teach you if she does.”

Jiang Yi was unaware that Shen Xingxian and Xia Wanwan had broken up. Xia Wanwan had helped her before, so she was willing to tell Xia Wanwan how to control demonic beasts using the Qi Ling Pill and the whistle.

It's this Qi-enhancing pill that I have to buy from her.

These low-level demonic beasts need to take a Spirit Awakening Pill every seven or eight days, otherwise they will turn back into stupid creatures that cannot understand commands.

Anyway, with the Green Wood Cauldron in hand, the Qi-Enhancing Pills are produced automatically in large quantities every day, more than she can consume herself.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingxian's eyes dimmed for a moment, but then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes brightened again.

“Alright, in a few days… I’ll have Wanwan come over to ask for your advice.”

Shen Xingxian blushed as she spoke, and Jiang Yi and Hua Luosha exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.

Little did Shen Xingxian know that he was just looking for an excuse to write to Xia Wanwan, and now wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
At this moment, Shen Xingxian looked at Jiang Yi as if she were his own half-sister, feeling incredibly close to her. If he could bring Wanwan to his side like this, he would definitely kowtow to Jiang Yi.

After the business was settled, Jiang Yi, following her "custom," invited Shen Xingxian to visit the various construction sites on her island for friendly consultations and exchanges. Diplomatic envoy Hua Luosha accompanied them throughout the visit, and they finally signed a valuable cooperation agreement, achieving a win-win situation.

Time was of the essence, so Jiang Yi instructed Zhenshan and Duanjin to lead the puppet mining team to carry out an emergency overseas mission. The mining slaves supported by Qiantian Sect were also taken away, and the Kunlun Pass offshore mining platform was temporarily shut down.

Hua Luosha didn't go with Shen Xingxian this time. She was going on vacation to cultivate diligently on the island for a while, hoping to achieve Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

In fact, Jiang Yi knew that Hua Luosha herself was worried that something might happen to her corpse demon when the demon tide came, so it was safer for her to stay by Jiang Yi's side, so that Jiang Yi could deal with any problems in time.

After Shen Xingxian left, Kunlun Pass enjoyed a brief period of peace.

This calm, however, carries an undercurrent of tension, as if a storm is brewing.

Within a few days, the fish in the nearby waters seemed to have disappeared overnight, and even the low-level sea monsters that could be occasionally sensed in the past vanished without a trace.

The air was heavy, filled with an indescribable chill.

Jiang Yi focused more on forging the remaining Dragon-Locking Nails and preparing the key array artifacts on the island. Hong Li, Tian Xin Xi Bing, and Fu Liu Xi Bing went all out, and the fire in the weapon-forging cave never went out.

At the same time, she also directed Qingxiao to strengthen the monitoring of the underground root system in the waters surrounding the island.

After this tense silence lasted for several days, Jiang Yi received another message from the Mountain and Sea Alliance.

After reading it, Jiang Yi handed the message-carrying flying sword to Hua Luosha.

"Inspector? What's going on here? We haven't even seen a glimpse of the demonic tide, and they're already sending inspectors to check on the progress? That's too bureaucratic."

Jiang Yi laughed and said, "I can guess with my toes that it must be the evil Qian Tian Sect who filed a complaint first, which is why the inspectors came to investigate. These are all rules set when the Mountain and Sea Alliance was established. No one and no grudge can hinder the construction of Zhenmo Pass, otherwise they will be severely punished."

Hua Luosha nodded, "In that case, this message is quite interesting. A patrol should naturally be conducted by surprise, but the higher-ups actually notified you first. This clearly tells you they're coming, so you should hide your tracks in advance. The Mountain and Sea Alliance is still favoring you after all; your charm is truly great~"

"It's not about charm, it's all about interests. In the entire Mountain and Sea Alliance, I'm the only one who dares to take this position. Those idiots from the Qian Tian Sect haven't even figured out the ins and outs. They're all a bunch of lowlifes!"

Hua Luosha seemed to be thinking, "But we still have to do the superficial things. The higher-ups are making things convenient for you, so you can't make things difficult for them. Do you want me to help you deal with those mining slaves...?" Hua Luosha made a throat-slitting gesture.

"No need. There's no shortage of manpower on the entire Boundless Sea front. We can use those Golden Core laborers without a second thought, and we don't even have to pay them. Keeping them to mine is making the most of them and makes up for what the Qian Tian Sect owes us. Besides, if I dare to use them, I'm not afraid of the Qian Tian Sect causing trouble. It's a good opportunity for me to settle this score with them!"

A few days later, to everyone's surprise, the Demon Tide arrived before the Inspector!

The midday sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight should have been at its most intense, but in the blink of an eye, the sky seemed to be suddenly blackened by an invisible giant hand!

It wasn't just dark clouds obscuring the sun, but a deeper, more complete darkness, like thick ink instantly splashed across the entire sky, swallowing up all light.

Daylight instantly turned into eternal night!

Almost at the same moment, the originally gray-blue Boundless Sea rapidly turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and viscous and filthy demonic energy gushed out wildly from the depths of the seabed.

The sudden roar of ten thousand demons erupted from the pitch-black demonic mist, and countless twisted and ferocious shadows rushed out of the mist to take shape. All of them were indescribably terrifying shapes that made people's scalps tingle and their minds tremble at the sight of them.

A dense swarm of demons of all shapes and sizes, like a black tsunami, swept towards Kunlun Pass from all directions with overwhelming force.

"Get into formation!"

Jiang Yi appeared high above the island immediately, without any panic. He frantically drew upon the five elements spiritual energy stored in the sword-nurturing gourd and activated the Five Elements Copper Coin Array with all his might.

Five dazzling beams of light shot into the sky, instantly transforming into a shimmering, five-colored glass shield that enveloped the entire Kunlun Pass.

The glass shield was thick and solid, with the power of the five elements flowing endlessly, exuding an indestructible and majestic aura.

Boom!

The first wave of demonic creatures slammed into the glass shield with a deafening explosion. Violent ripples spread across the shield's surface. Although it remained unmoved, several points dimmed in light, corroded and decayed by demonic energy.

"You heart-wrenching, Flower Maiden!"

Jiang Yi's thoughts stirred again.

At the center of the island, a colossal tower, its entire body crackling with destructive purple lightning arcs, appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, all the runes on the Lightning Tower were lit up, and its tip pointed straight to the sky.

The three busy Flower Maiden clones instantly transformed into streams of light, rapidly converging into one above the Lightning Tower.

The clouds surged and expanded, forming a thick, dark cloud that blotted out the sky, its color as deep as ink, with flashes of lightning within, like a celestial tribulation.

The Lightning Tower frantically drew power from the tribulation clouds, its body blazing with purple light, and then it exploded with a roar!
Tsk! ! !

A purple lightning bolt, indescribably thick, shot out from the top of the tower like a divine spear of punishment that split the heavens and the earth. Its core contained a wisp of primordial true lightning origin. The moment it left the lightning-attracting tower, it exploded and spread like the roots of a giant tree!

The purple thunder tide, centered on Kunlun Pass, rapidly swept across a ten-mile radius of sea.

The churning demonic mist, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, was crushed with a hissing sound. Countless demonic creatures that had just formed on the great array barrier were annihilated in the magnificent purple lightning before they could even scream!

With a single, thunderous strike, it swept across an area of ​​ten miles.

The demonic mist cleared away, and a large portion of the surging demonic tide was wiped out, creating a brief vacuum around Kunlun Pass. This allowed Jiang Yi and the demons to catch their breath and take their positions.

The wind seemed to have stopped, and in the distance, an even more violent and viscous black demonic mist began to surge again.

That was just the first wave of probing, and it wasn't just around Kunlun Pass; every outpost in the entire Seventy-Two Gates of Demon Suppression was simultaneously being attacked by the demonic tide.

　see you tomorrow
