However, using it requires transmitting some of the purple light through the arm to the body, which has a significant impact on the user, making it inconvenient to study.

The girl moved around a bit, and her brand-new arms functioned naturally as usual.

It even feels like it's more useful than my original arm.

This feeling compelled her to transform her entire body into a dark purple hue.

Xi Heng shook her head. She still considered herself a human and a cultivator, and didn't want to actually become some kind of monster—even if it was just an avatar.

"Speaking of which, can the arms cover it up?" she wondered.

She might have to return to the cultivators' capital afterward, and it wouldn't be good if she were discovered by others.

With this thought, the arm transformed into human skin, which adhered to the purplish-black texture.

It resembles skin covering muscle, and its shape is quite natural.

However, this fair and tender human skin was somewhat different from the gray porcelain skin found elsewhere.

Xi Heng sent some more death energy, turning the newly formed skin into gray porcelain, before restoring it to its normal appearance before the battle.

Out of boredom, she sensed her internal state and then casually opened her personal interface in the Heavenly Realm.

"I have over 300,000 Light Runes... It's not too slow to farm them." Xi Heng muttered to himself, "After three more similar battles, I can buy the first type of main material for advancement."

As time went by, she could only imagine the realm of Dao Integration.

With the Jingtian Pill to replenish her cultivation, given her aptitude, she might only need one or two hundred years to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

By then, the promotion application materials should be almost ready...

Time flows by like a river in the blink of an eye.

Three days later, seeing that the Black Tide still made no move, Xi Heng turned his attention back to cultivating his main body.

This incarnation will remain here until it returns later.

Time passed, and another six months slipped by in the blink of an eye.

In the second year after Xi Heng arrived in Jing Tian Realm, the Black Tide here finally started to move again, carrying many strange creatures in another direction.

Xi Heng then turned his attention back to the present, wondering why it would take so long to retrieve a mere trophy...

Does obtaining that finger require overcoming numerous trials?

She did not go in with them and was unaware of what was happening below.

In the end, they left with the black tide and continued to travel slowly southwards to where the cultivators were.

After that, they traveled with the monstrous Black Tide for another six months.

During this period, there were no further confrontations with other strange factions. The only time they encountered the dark mud was once more, but since there was no conflict, they simply passed by without engaging in battle.

In this region, it seems there are only two strange factions: 'Shan' and 'Fu'. Xi Heng has been traveling with the Black Tide for so long, but he has never seen any others.

Although I don't know how many kinds of strange things there are in the world... maybe there are only these two.

In addition, every month or two, the Black Tide can be seen attacking the human capital.

The defenders were all a coalition of cultivators, but none of them could match the Black Tide.

They could only resist for a few days at most, after which they would either be destroyed or scatter and flee.

Many times, Xi Heng didn't even notice that some skirmishes had already ended.

She naturally wouldn't show herself in battles against human cultivators. For the past six months, she has focused her attention on her main body, only glancing at her avatar occasionally.

His main body was also fully occupied, spending most of his time cultivating, spending only a few days with Yin Wanluan, or completing tasks to earn some Time Stones to aid his cultivation.

Even after all this time, the area occupied by the Black Tide's relentless advance is still only a tiny fraction of the entire Scripture Realm.

At this pace, even without any obstacles, allowing the strange army to advance freely, it would take two or three hundred years before a real change in the situation could be seen in the Heavenly Realm.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, two or three hundred years is not a long time.

But for Xi Heng, who still maintains a mortal mindset, it is a very long time.

Having followed the Black Tide for so long without ever having a second adventure and seeing no opportunity to continue fighting monsters, she lost the will to stay.

One night, the girl approached the edge of the Kuroshio Tide and then silently left the area.

They walked for tens of thousands of meters and came to a mountaintop where they sat down.

As the trail of the black tide receded from view, Xi Heng opened the map software and marked the sealed rift he had encountered when he first arrived in the Northern Continent.

Then, using the spirit fire, he donned a white robe and headed north.

The weather was freezing cold, and snowflakes were falling in all directions.

When you are inside the Kuroshio Current, there is no snow, and the scenery around you is only light black and dark black.

The plains are not covered in snow, but the mountain peaks stand in clusters.

There was no sign of the starlight and moonlight at night, nor of the usual lingering clouds and rising sun.

After leaving the eerie group, she regained her sense of being human, and slowly walked down the mountain, appreciating the changing of the day and night.

Between day and night, one often encounters some stray, sporadic monsters.

Because he already possessed the same aura as demons and monsters, Xi Heng was not affected by their hostility, and it would be no problem for him to brush past them.

She has also restored her original appearance as a cultivator, but this appearance is just a magical disguise. Her true form is still the Lord of the Death Realm, and her essence remains unchanged.

Even with his spatial magic, which made each step of Xi Heng's movement equivalent to a hundred steps for others, Xi Heng's pace still appeared extremely slow on the map.

"At this rate, it will take another year or two to reach our destination..."

Then I opened the Jingtian Realm Shop and selected the Flying Boat category.

Hundreds of unique flying boat images appear before your eyes. Clicking on the details allows you to use your spiritual light to construct a complete model of your spiritual light system, complete with a personal introduction.

It looked quite interesting, so she stopped and slowly began to choose.

I also looked at user reviews, expert evaluations, and so on.

They finally selected a small flying boat that seemed suitable and purchased it for 1,800 light tokens.

Suddenly, the store interface transformed into a ball of white light, covering the summoned aura model.

After a few flashes of light, the exquisite flying boat took shape.

Its surface is covered with gilded cloud patterns, and the whole thing is shaped like a fish. It can be open or closed, and there is a room inside that can be lived in, with all kinds of daily facilities in good condition.

"It's quite pleasing to the eye," the girl murmured, looking at the object. "However, to prevent attacks along the way, it needs to be imbued with some eerie aura."

He raised his left hand, and faint purple sparks flickered at his fingertips.

Footsteps approached, finger pointed.

The moment they made contact, a purple electric current spread throughout the boat.

The faint 'transformation' instantly eroded the surface of the boat, covering the magnificent gilded cloud patterns with layers of purple-black vortexes and perforated patterns. In just a moment, the boat was transformed from a finely crafted work of art into a bizarre object that would frighten ordinary people.

Xi Heng sensed the aura emanating from it for a while, and only after confirming that it was no different from the monster did he nod. He then ordered the flying boat to transform into stairs and climb up.

Although the exterior had been invaded by the demons, the interior room remained unchanged—she had no desire to live in a flesh and blood room filled with meridians and various organs.

"Perhaps it is indeed as that purplish-black humanoid said, following 'Shan' is a good choice."

If I were to join the side filled with dark green mud, my physical form would likely also turn into mud, and if I were to use 'Fu' to alter the flying boat, the entire boat would probably decay into ashes in just a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of oversized bat wings transformed, and the flying boat floated up as if it were alive, flapping its wings.

Once it reaches an altitude of over 1,000 meters, it activates its power and accelerates its voyage.

Xi Heng also used his spatial techniques to increase his speed by several levels.

The flying boats in the Celestial Realm are already several times faster than creations in other realms.

Now, with these additional steps, she has reached the fastest speed she has ever experienced.

The surrounding scenery kept receding as the boat flashed past at a speed hundreds of times faster than an arrow.

If an ordinary person were here, they would probably only see a white streak suddenly appearing on the horizon, without knowing why it happened.

"If we also utilize the power of time from my own body, this speed can increase several times over." Xi Heng, inside the flying boat, imagined, "No, if we could use this method to continuously accelerate in the almost unobstructed void..."

Perhaps it could reach one-thousandth the speed of light? One-hundredth?

She suddenly had a feeling that she was now very strong—even though she was already very strong to begin with.

Open the map and zoom in slightly, and you'll see her portrait is moving north, a clear sign of movement.

It took her a year and a half to travel through the seal rift to the south.

Now, thanks to the speed of the flying boat, it only takes half a month to return.

……

Slowly, a white line stretches to the far north.

A dozen days later, Xi Heng transferred his consciousness back from his physical body.

It is clear that the avatar has arrived at the target location.

The airship descended slowly according to its automatic driving program, flapping its wings, and came to rest on a snowy plain.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a light snow was falling.

The white-haired girl stepped out of the airship, extending one hand outward, letting the cold air blow over her.

“It’s much warmer than when I first came here,” she muttered to herself as she walked down the flying boat steps, seeing a towering peak standing in the distance.

That was the place where I first arrived in Beizhou.

A year and a half later, the Blue Ice Mountain was covered in snow and no longer looked special.

Xi Heng approached through the thick snow, his figure flashing as he reached the mountainside once more.

The mountainside was already the previous peak, but due to the seal cast by the white-robed cultivator, a new peak made of solid ice was added to the mountain.

She waved her hand to clear the snow covering the mountain peaks, beneath which lay pale blue, solid ice.

"We need to break through this layer of ice to get down..."

Upon arriving here, Xi Heng faintly heard mournful sounds coming from afar below—it sounded like the wind, but there shouldn't be any wind at such a deep underground location.

"I hope there's another finger hidden below." The girl pulled out a blade of resentment and stabbed it into the surface of the solid ice.

Clang——

The sword was deflected, but the ice remained unharmed.

She blinked, then switched to burning it directly with resentful fire.

The flames roared and burned for a few minutes before she withdrew them, but the ice remained unresponsive.

Clearly, the person who created the ice seal was far more powerful in terms of cultivation and magical abilities than she was.

As a result, his usual methods were ineffective in breaking through the ice.

“Then let’s use something unconventional…” Xi Heng’s left fingertip flashed with purple light as he touched the surface of the ice.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 357, Strange and Wonderful Things

A purple light flashed, which Xi Heng transmitted to the surface of the ice in front of him with his fingertips.

Upon contact, the light penetrates the ice, ignoring all obstacles and creating cracks between the ice layers.

The girl gently tugged with her left hand, and layers of flesh immediately squeezed out from inside the ice. The frigid ice, imbued with spiritual power, transformed into bizarre chunks of flesh under the catalysis of the dark purple color, and began to writhe and spread outwards.

Flesh and blood are like a curse, polluting the cold inside and out.

In just a few seconds, it spread a meter wide in front of Xi Heng.

The flesh and blood formed from solid ice seemed to pulsate outwards as if it were alive, first spurting out streams of black blood, then squeezing out black fat and oily substances.

Before long, flesh and blood eroded a hole in the solid ice.

As the purple light spread, the opening of the cave expanded and grew larger.

Once it was ready to enter, Xi Heng was about to endure the unbearable mess of fresh flesh, veins, organs, and eyes when a blue light suddenly appeared between the ice layers.

A burst of spiritual power, even higher than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, suddenly halted the spread of flesh and blood.

Xi Heng frowned slightly. Although she understood that the protection left behind by the great cultivator was not just a single layer of solid ice, she knew that it was far more than just a layer of solid ice.
