After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister of a celestial sect, the cultivation world wen

Ning Yue, with the phoenix on his shoulder, rode the wind and circled twice in mid-air.

A beautiful sword mark trailed behind Huanming, and the phoenix's tail feathers floated in the wind, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

Ning Yue smiled and greeted Yang Fei below.

"Senior brother! I won the phoenix back!"

Yang Fei laughed: "This is incredible, Junior Sister! It's been so many years, I thought this phoenix had died of old age in the Tianxuan Sect."

The Beast Taming Elder was also there, watching Ning Yue clap his hands and sigh repeatedly, occasionally glancing at Yang Fei.

"What a promising talent! Follow your master, and you'll surely become a grandmaster of beast taming!"

Yang Fei: "..."

Ning Yue sent Phoenix down to wander around the Beast Taming Elder twice, leaving him completely disoriented.

Overjoyed, he ran off to find the other elders to come and see.

Yang Fei pointed at the departing figure of the Beast Taming Elder and said to Ning Yue, "He was subtly mocking me."

Ning Yue patted him on the back: "It's okay, I lured him away for you."

Yang Fei shook his head with a sigh, clicking his tongue as he watched the phoenix circling in the sky.

"Wow, junior sister, I knew you were no ordinary person."

"Stop talking nonsense," Ning Yue punched Yang Fei with a look of disgust. "My genius isn't something that happened overnight."

Yang Fei: "..."

"I haven't tried talismans yet, and I haven't learned weapon crafting either..." Ning Yue stroked his chin, pondering, looking very eager to try.

"I'll try it next time."

Yang Fei swallowed hard: "...Let's leave some room for survival, junior sister."

Ning Yue didn't answer, but waved to the air. The phoenix circled and swooped down, landing lightly on Ning Yue's hand.

They seemed to have perfect chemistry.

"If you want to survive, you have to work hard yourself," Ning Yue said, turning around. "I won't leave any room for anyone else."

Her voice was calm and peaceful, without a trace of the pride or arrogance of a genius.

Yang Fei was stunned for a moment, then heard Ning Yue continue.

"Senior brother, hurry up and catch up with me! Don't you feel threatened by how powerful I am?"

Ning Yue's expression was very serious.

Yang Fei nodded blankly and said, "Okay."

Ning Yue smiled and nodded, then, with Phoenix in tow, turned to go back.

Shi Yinghan and Gong Zhi walked over together, quite surprised, both looking at the Glazed Phoenix with expressions of wonder.

Shi Yinghan praised her without hesitation upon meeting her: "As expected of my junior sister, I thought this phoenix could last for a few more terms."

Gong Zhi: "I didn't see Junior Sister make many moves just now, and she succeeded in taking down this tough phoenix so easily?"

Ning Yue tilted his head back smugly: "Isn't that right?"

The phoenix, mimicking its master, proudly raised its chin high.

What a joke! Such an awesome owner is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If we don't leave now, when will we?

"We don't have much to do for the next few days," Shi Yinghan said. "How about we go out for a couple of days to relax?"

Ning Yue was immediately tempted: "Great! When are we going out?"

Gong Zhi tried to stop her, saying, "No, Junior Sister, why don't you try weapon crafting? It's really fun!"

Refining weapons was certainly not as appealing as going out to play, so Ning Yue immediately patted Gong Zhi on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, senior brother, just focus on the competition. I'll save some for you if I find anything delicious."

Gong Zhi: "..."

"You have three days, where would you like to go?" Shi Yinghan asked.

Ning Yue thought for a while.

Although she hadn't explored the upper realm much, she wanted to see what the lower realm was like.

So he suggested, "Senior brother, what fun things are there to do in the lower realm?"

Yang Fei chimed in from the side, "Junior Sister's suggestion is good; the lower realm is fun."

Although Ning Yue was in the lower realm when he first transmigrated, he was captured by Sang Pang shortly afterward.

She really wanted to go down and take a look.

Shi Yinghan nodded: "Of course, go down to the lower realm for a stroll, consider it a relaxation before the team battle."

Ning Yue counted: "Now only Senior Brother, Senior Sister Lu, Jiang Yishen and I have finished competing."

Yang Fei clicked his tongue: "Your senior brother is still here."

Ning Yue: "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten."

"So we're not waiting for them?"

"No more waiting!" Yang Fei said readily. "We can just wait until they finish their competition before coming down."

Gong Zhi silently said, "This is my last day."

Yang Fei pushed Ning Yue backward, saying, "Sorry to put you through this, we'll leave first, hahaha..."

Yang Fei was extremely arrogant. He pushed Ning Yue with one hand and Shi Yinghan with the other, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Gong Zhi stood silently for a few seconds, feeling deeply resentful of the competition's system.

Why did you have to leave weapon crafting for the last day?

Gong Zhi sighed as he walked back.

He wasn't the type of person who was easily influenced before, and he could have focused wholeheartedly on his cultivation.

I never thought I could be affected by something as mundane as going out to play.

As expected, my junior sister is too charming. Being with her makes everything interesting.

While Gong Zhi was in a state of utter desolation, Ning Yue was in a state of great activity.

Yang Fei called Song Yishi over.

Ning Yue: "How about we ride the Crystal Phoenix down to the lower realm and show off a bit?"

Shi Yinghan: "It's better to keep a low profile when going to the lower realms."

Yang Fei nodded: "To prevent the cultivators from the upper realm from becoming too powerful, there are suppressing stones between the lower and upper realms."

"Right there at the boundary marker, cultivators' cultivation levels will be suppressed to the Qi Refining stage after they go to the lower realm."

Ning Yue stroked the phoenix's feathers in surprise.

"Suppressing so much!?"

"That's right," Shi Yinghan nodded, "After all, the difference between mortals and cultivators is too great. The Qi Refining stage is equivalent to a mortal with good physical fitness."

Song Yishi drew his sword and hovered in the air: "Going down would be too conspicuous and we'd get targeted. It's better to go down on a sword."

"Alright..." Ning Yue reluctantly withdrew the phoenix and drew out the Calling Cry.

Five people, five swords, emitted sword light of different colors and flew out of the competition arena—

The place was far from the lower realm, and the group focused on flying on their swords and rarely communicated.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Ning Yue squinted and finally saw a very tall boundary marker not far ahead.

Sure enough, Shi Yinghan, who was beside him, spoke up: "The boundary marker is just ahead. Our cultivation levels will be suppressed soon. Everyone, be careful."

Ning Yue could sense the power of the pressure stone; as soon as he got close, he felt his spiritual power being severely suppressed.

When Ning Yue flew to the boundary marker, he realized that his cultivation level had reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

That's a bit scary.

Ning Yue thought to himself, if he got any closer, would he be unable to fly on his sword?

The group stopped at the boundary marker to rest for a while.

The boundary marker behind us was as large as a small mountain, standing straight and tall.

"This boundary marker is the suppression stone," Shi Yinghan said, pointing behind her. "Its size is so large that it can successfully suppress one's cultivation level."

"Even if someone at the sect leader's level came, it would be the same; they would be completely suppressed to the Qi Refining stage, covering the entire lower realm."

"No wonder, we're so close..." Ning Yue took a step back, looked up, and said, "I was wondering why I felt so much pressure."

Suddenly, her gaze fixed on one spot, lingering there for a long time—

"Hey, senior brother..." Ning Yue suddenly called out, pointing to a spot, "Look, isn't there someone over there!"

Shi Yinghan looked in the direction Ning Yue was pointing—

On the massive rock of the pressure stone, a man with disheveled clothes was lying face down.

The man appeared to be an adult male, with his head buried in his arms.

Even from this distance, you can tell that the fabric of her clothes is very exquisite and luxurious.

Ning Yue squinted, wanting to see more clearly—

The man suddenly raised his face and straightened up without warning.

He spotted Ning Yue in the crowd and looked at her excitedly.

How can I describe that kind of gaze?

Ning Yue subconsciously took a step back: "..."

It's a bit scary.
