I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

Amidst much speculation, the main hall of the Changming Sect was also crowded with people. The dragons brought back by Mingxuan and his companions sensed the aura of the Nascent Soul stage and stepped into the hall. The young prince puffed out his cheeks and shouted, "It's been over twenty days and it's still not over! Is the Nascent Soul trial so difficult for you human cultivators?"

For dragons, reaching the Nascent Soul stage at a certain age naturally leads to a breakthrough, without any trials or inquiries.

Elder Zhao glanced at the little dragon cub, put on a polite smile, and patiently explained, "Generally speaking, it won't exceed ten days."

"But something might have happened to Xiao Qiao that we don't know about."

In the cultivation world, it takes at least three days and at most ten days.

The trial lasted nearly thirty days, something never before seen.

"You mean that the tribulation lightning was Ye Qiao's?" The little prince was stunned for a moment. "She was that fast?" He clearly remembered that she was only in the early Nascent Soul stage when he met her before.

Then he thought about how most of the spiritual energy in his South China Sea had been absorbed, and realized it was quite normal.

Those who were touched by the energy broke through a cultivation level, but Ye Qiao, the protagonist, despite having the lowest cultivation level among the five, showed no fluctuation under the immense spiritual energy. It was as if all that spiritual energy had flowed into a vast ocean.

"Then the matter is very simple." The young prince calmed down and quickly said, "The mistake couldn't have been made by Ye Qiao; there must be something wrong with this Nascent Soul Trial."

Ye Qiao usually doesn't make this kind of mistake; either there's a problem with the trial, or she's planning to cause some trouble again.

I just hope Ye Qiao doesn't mess things up this time.

Otherwise, if they don't come out in thirty days, it will be considered a failure.

……

Ye Qiao, unaware of the uproar her tribulation would cause in the cultivation world, was currently trying to outwit and outmaneuver the trial before her.

A thousand years ago, the ratio of demonic cultivators to human cultivators was roughly equal, with an exceptionally large number of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

To deal with a race like the Spirit Race that has no ability to resist, you don't need too many Nascent Soul cultivators; two people can slaughter an entire race.

If Ye Qiao had been even a moment later, she might have been caught up and killed again.

Relying on her complete knowledge of what was to come, Ye Qiao easily shook off the pursuing demons by taking many detours.

Ye Qiao led the Spirit Clan to escape in advance, constantly releasing smoke bombs along the way to confuse them, so the Demon Clan army that arrived missed them all.

What about people?

The two Nascent Soul cultivators who arrived were filled with questions.

Ye Qiao thoroughly studied the Spirit Clan's library, and found that the Half-Moon Clan's books contained techniques for concealing one's aura.

To avoid the fate of the Spirit Race being slaughtered, the first thing to do is to hide well. The Spirit Race has the strongest magical skills, but they have no ability to resist.

If they hadn't been so stubborn as to choose to die to protect the saintess, they might not have been wiped out.

The moment the spell was completed, he merged with heaven and earth.

Ye Qiao was surprised that the little saintess would come out to help her, but after thinking it over, she realized that the saintess was her main target in this trial, so it was better to keep her by her side.

Aside from swords, she rarely used other magical weapons. Her knowledge of bows and arrows was limited to the Moon Arrow, which required drawing the bow and aiming. The Crescent Crossbow could be fired instantly, and its speed was light and fast. At the moment, Ye Qiao really didn't have any free hands, so she returned it to the Little Saintess.

"The Nascent Soul stage cultivators from a thousand years ago were incredibly powerful," Mu Li reminded him in his mind. "If you don't hurry, the trial time is about to begin."

Ye Qiao knew, of course, that the Nascent Soul cultivators a thousand years ago were very powerful. After all, when she became that Holy Maiden, she was caught and killed by those two Nascent Soul cultivators more than ten times when she tried to escape.

She silently calculated the time it would take for them to catch up, repeatedly summoning the Flying Immortal Sword to establish contact with them. At the same time, the little saintess held a crescent crossbow in her hand, shooting arrows in an attempt to interfere with the two demons who were relentlessly pursuing her.

The crossbow fired several arrows in succession, but the arrows, imbued with spiritual energy, failed to even touch the hem of their clothes.

Several arrows grazed past their clothes, and the two Nascent Soul cultivators' voices turned cold: "Halt."

Two powerful attacks swept over Ye Qiao, immobilizing her. She then performed a graceful backflip, pulling the little saintess away from the attack.

Each member of the Half-Moon Clan possessed a forbidden technique that perfectly concealed their cultivation level and aura. Not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators, even powerful beings at the Nascent Soul stage or higher could not see through it.

This easily gives the demons the feeling that this mysterious spirit race is extremely unfathomable.

After realizing they couldn't see through Ye Qiao's cultivation level, the two Nascent Soul cultivators tensed up slightly.

I'm not afraid of those with high cultivation levels, I'm afraid of those who can't see through things.

Ye Qiao's divine sense, far surpassing that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, allowed her to easily hear their conversation.

What is the strength of the Half-Moon Clan?

"The Demon Lord says there is nothing to fear."

How come neither of these two spirit race members could see through their cultivation levels?

"I've heard that their clan possesses many magical techniques, but their strength is unknown." They dared to come entirely because the Demon Lord had given them information, telling them that the two of them could easily slaughter the ancient spirit race here.

The Spirit Clan lives in seclusion, making it extremely difficult to find them. If the Demon Lord's prediction is wrong, wouldn't they be just coming here to their deaths?

"Are you sure they're both Nascent Soul cultivators? If they were, why would they actually obey and stop?"

"It is precisely because of uncertainty that we dare not act rashly."

Their cultivation levels were completely impenetrable.

If these people are stronger than me, wouldn't that be no different from courting death?

They can fool them for a while by using opportunistic methods.

The young saintess was too timid to look around, so only Ye Qiao was allowed to approach.

Since they were all at the Nascent Soul stage, Ye Qiao wasn't afraid of them at all, and greeted them with a bright smile: "Hi."

She had barely finished greeting them when she swiftly scooped up the nearest little saintess, dodging the man's sudden attack.

The dodging speed is quite fast.

But Ye Qiao never made a move, which made them somewhat wary.

Either they're too strong, or they're just all show and no substance; otherwise, why would they choose to dodge at all costs?

"If those two demons had used their brains even a little and seen through her cleverness, they would have been killed again." An old man said in a slightly strange tone.

"She must have a plan."

Her hundred elaborate suicide attempts were clearly not in vain. She was constantly trying to merge and communicate with her sword spirit.

With the mustard seed bag locked, it shouldn't be possible to summon it under the influence of the natal spirit sword.

But Ye Qiao has a sword called the Flying Immortal Sword, whose attribute is light, an invisible light. Whether or not he can use it, and how strong he can unleash it, does not depend on the sword itself, but on Ye Qiao.

If the sword master is powerful enough, the Flying Immortal Sword itself will not be restricted by the restrictions in the trial.

The trial scenario is equivalent to a real illusion, or a large-scale illusionary realm. Such overlapping realms can easily cause people to confuse reality with illusion.

But illusions can be broken.

After she defeats the demons here, she can also clear the level by breaking through the illusion with her sword.

To use the Flying Immortal Sword without regard to the domain restrictions, one needs to reach a state of perfect harmony with the sword.

Meng Liuguo said that she couldn't use it simply because her compatibility with the spirit sword wasn't high enough.

However, the one with whom she spent the longest time getting to know each other, Bujianjun, was incompatible with her Dao.

The Flying Immortal Sword is the only spirit sword without any restrictions.

Its strength depends on itself.

The man in black launched an attack to test Ye Qiao's strength, and found that she was indeed not weak, as she could react so quickly.

but--

It's obvious that the little saintess's strength is far below the standard of the Nascent Soul stage.

So weak that a light pinch would kill them.

"You're just a Nascent Soul cultivator. What do you have to fight the two of us with?" He scoffed and casually swung his hand, easily snapping the Xuan Sword in two with a crisp sound as it hit the ground.

This practice of breaking a sword is quite humiliating.

Ye Qiao had no sense of shame, but without the Xuan Sword, it would take some time to summon the Flying Immortal Sword, which would be difficult during a fight.

The previously silent little saintess suddenly grabbed Ye Qiao's wrist upon seeing this scene, knowing what a broken sword meant to a sword cultivator.

The girl lowered her eyes and made a mark on her wrist.

Ye Qiao paused. Having experienced so much rebirth, she knew for certain that this was a blessing from the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan.

The Spirit Race has a natural affinity, and their blessings carry a certain luck bonus. Ye Qiao's luck has never been particularly good, so she was somewhat excited. Was this going to change her luck?

If there is a blessing from the saintess, the summoning speed will be much faster.

Whether she can achieve perfect harmony with the Flying Immortal Sword is just a matter of time. Ye Qiao was killed several times during her previous rebirths because she didn't have enough time to successfully summon the spirit sword. This time, she is fully prepared and can summon the Flying Immortal Sword before she is killed.

But the premise of having enough time is that she has to risk her life to delay it, and the little saintess's blessing came at just the right time.

This immediately shortened the time required to summon the spirit sword.

The judge raised an eyebrow. "Did she figure something out? Repeating it over a hundred times just to trick the Spirit Clan into giving her blessing?" The little saintess in the trial was the judge of this trial, and her blessing was real and effective. It was hard not to suspect that Ye Qiao was deliberately trying to trick the blessing.

"Who knows?"

They get a stomachache just looking at this guy; he's been exploiting bugs during the trial because he's immortal.

Even the most immoral Xie Chuxue had never done anything so heinous.

The Spirit Race's blessing amplifies luck, making them an exceptionally fortunate race. However, they were almost wiped out by the Demon Race a thousand years ago, so it's no wonder that Heaven is cracking down on the Demon Race.

"I think she might just be doing this purely for revenge."

Ye Qiao's series of outrageous actions were simply because she harbored resentment towards the demons who had repeatedly killed her more than a dozen times.

Those who cultivate the Tao should have a broad mind; it's just a trial, and no one will fight to the death.

But this time they clearly hit a brick wall.

There are indeed people in the world who, after dying several times in the trials, will strive to kill all the demons here.

Some people pondered, "This is a perspective I've never considered before."

"The blessing of the Half-Moon Clan's Holy Maiden, she certainly knows how to win the favor of the Spirit Clan."

"Take Xie Chuxue, for example. He just kidnapped someone's child and the saintess and ran away. Who would bless him?"

The Eldar have always been a very gentle race.

But to date, not a single deity has received their blessing.

Some people clicked their tongues and said, "Why would these demons offend Ye Qiao for no reason?"

In the end, Ye Qiao held a grudge against them all, and was willing to reincarnate hundreds of times to kill them all.

One of them glanced at the gloating old man, wondering who had initially called Ye Qiao stupid.
