I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 119 - 101: In the Spotlight

In the plaza of Heavenly Chief Peak, the ground was as smooth as a mirror, and in mid-air, a mirage illusion revealed a miniature world of overlapping mountains and flowing waters.

There were tiny black dots scattered everywhere; the surrounding cultivators only needed to focus their divine sense on one spot, and the scene there would magnify, allowing them to see the figures clearly, though they couldn’t hear what was being said.

Not even a quarter of an hour had passed when disciples of the Heavenly Interence Sect began to fly out from the mirror surface in succession, crashing heavily to the side.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Interence Sect looked displeased, while Shu Zhongshan and the Golden Core Masters and Foundation Establishment Disciples of the Guiyuan Sword Sect were in high spirits.

Shi Zhongshan downed a cup of Immortal Tea in one gulp, wiped the moisture from the corner of his mouth, and smiled, "This time our Guiyuan Sword Sect disciples are having a small competition with the Heavenly Interence Sect, which might seem a little unfair to their disciples, so I brought thirty Foundation Establishment Elixirs and some special Magic Swords from our sect as additional prizes. And there’s this item, as the top reward."

Shi Zhongshan flipped his hand to reveal a dragon eye-sized silver bead with a metallic sheen.

The surrounding cultivators’ eyes brightened slightly.

"Is this... a Sword Pill?" True Monarch Fuyi asked from the side.

Shi Zhongshan nodded, "Indeed, this Sword Pill was refined by a Golden Core Cultivator of our sect upon death, merging their Lifebound Sword Intent into it. It’s equivalent to a Talisman Treasure and contains a tenth of a Golden Core Cultivator’s power. When fully unleashed, it’s more than enough to slay a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"Cultivators who have not comprehended Sword Intent can also nurture their own Sword Qi through this Sword Pill, and comprehend the Sword Intent within it. The Sword Intent it contains is the Wind Chasing Sword Intent, created by Sword Venerable Zhufeng. That young Zhuo Qingfeng has long coveted it, and if not for this Sword Pill, his proud nature would not have brought him to participate in your sect’s small competition."

Wenn Miao flashed to Shi Zhongshan’s side, picked up the Sword Pill, and teased, "Didn’t Sword Venerable Zhufeng change his name to Chasing Cloud Sword Venerable tens of thousands of years ago? Why does your sect still practice Wind Chasing Sword Intent and not Chasing Cloud Sword Intent?"

Mentioning this, the people of Guiyuan Sword Sect felt embarrassed.

It was said that Sword Venerable Zhufeng admired Lu Xingyun and was willing to be her servant out of true feelings, but for Guiyuan Sword Sect, this was an indelible blot on their history.

Thus, they never admitted to the Chasing Cloud Sword Venerable; Guiyuan Sword Sect has always only had the Wind Chasing Sword Venerable.

Shi Zhongshan coughed twice, "True Venerable Luyi jests."

At this moment, two Sword Sect cultivators fell out onto the plaza, their clothes in tatters and half of their bodies charred, in a very pitiful state.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Interence Sect immediately let out a long breath, laughingly asking, "What happened, who did you encounter to get beaten so badly?"

"Look, isn’t that Zhuo Qingfeng?"

The crowd turned to see Zhuo Qingfeng confronting three disciples of the Heavenly Interence Sect. Shi Zhongshan straightened his back, "That kid has never known restraint in his strikes. If he harms your disciples, I ask for your understanding."

Wenn Miao didn’t listen to him but instead stared at Jiang Yuebai in the field, muttering, "It’s actually her. Jiuchuan even asked me to look out for her. So unlucky to run into Zhuo Qingfeng so quickly."

For a moment, because of Zhuo Qingfeng, all eyes were fixed on him.

Mirror World.

Zhuo Qingfeng’s expression was indifferent, arms folded with the sword, walking slowly forward.

Qii Dabao and Xue Bei, upon seeing Zhuo Qingfeng, turned pale and instinctively ran the other way. Jiang Yuebai also clenched her Earth Escape Talisman, fully alert.

Zhuo Qingfeng stood still, his eyes slightly raised, his sharpness apparent.

A sword whistled a dragon’s roar, the wind and clouds gathered, and without drawing the sword or raising a hand, a tornado rose from the ground, like a gathering of countless sharp blades, pulverizing everything in its path into powder, and roared forward.

Jiang Yuebai used Earth Escape to dodge, Qii Dabao turned pale with fright, unable to even scream before disappearing into the sword tornado along with Xue Bei.

Zhuo Qingfeng’s gaze shifted to land on Jiang Yuebai.

A gentle breeze rippled, the grass surged, seemingly calm but with hidden killing intent.

Jiang Yuebai felt an invisible aura, sealing the space within ten feet around her. No matter which direction she ran, the surrounding breezes would immediately turn into blades to take her life.

This aura was identical to the Sword Intent she exhibited when using Thunderbolt Charge.

Jiang Yuebai raised her hand, and the Thunder Shock Spear flew out from her sleeve, gripped firmly in her hand.

Crackle!

Electricity danced on the spear like a silver snake, slashing through the sky, piercing the invisible aura and crashing into it from afar.

The wind roared sharply, thunder clapped.

The world turned gloomy, the atmosphere oppressive, as a fierce wind raged between the two, tearing leaves into the sky in a wild dance.

Zhuo Qingfeng’s expression changed abruptly; his eyes widened, staring intently at Jiang Yuebai.

In his vision, a girl as bright as the moon stood firm with a spear, but in his divine sense, there was no girl, only streaks of terrifying lightning, grasping and roaring.

Zhuo Qingfeng released his arms, grasped the sword in his hands, and frowned, entirely on alert.

"To think there is such talent hidden in the Heavenly Interence Sect, give me your name."

Meanwhile, the plaza surroundings were silent, some people gaping in shock, some holding tea without drinking, their eyes trembling, all staring fixedly at the girl standing opposite Zhuo Qingfeng.

Though the two stood facing each other without moving, Golden Core Masters and Nascent Soul True Monarchs could clearly see the Gale Sword Intent and Thunderbolt Martial Momentum enveloping them respectively.

Opposing fiercely, clashing intensely, even the wind was shredded between them, leaving it completely still.

Sword Intent and Martial Momentum, though they can be comprehended at the Qi Cultivation Stage, are only mastered by those who are extraordinarily gifted, highly perceptive, and somewhat fortunate — truly one in ten thousand throughout history.

Zhuo Qingfeng needs no introduction, with a Spirit Root identical to Sword Venerable Zhufeng, following the same cultivation path step by step, and a priority focus of Guiyuan Sword Sect since childhood. Comprehending Sword Intent was only logical.

Martial Momentum and Sword Intent are of the same nature; almost no one in the Heavenly Interence Sect has ever grasped Martial Momentum, except Ling Guanghan who once comprehended Frost Cold Sword Intent during the Qi Cultivation Stage, and since then there has been no one else.

At this moment, not only the Guiyuan Sword Sect was shocked, but the Heavenly Interence Sect was equally astonished.

Wenn Miao and Wenn Ci exchanged a glance, Gongsun Zhu, Hong Tao, Yuu Qiuqi, and others were unable to recover for a long time, as if they had never known this twelve-year-old girl.

Especially Gongsun Zhu and Hong Tao, they knew she was skilled, but only in farming and expert in puppetry, without knowing her cultivation and martial arts were equally astounding.

"Who is she?" Shi Zhongshan pointed to the illusion on the plaza, asking, "I’ve familiarized myself with the Qi Cultivation newcomers of the Heavenly Interence Sect, but there’s no trace of her. Is it possible your sect deliberately kept this card hidden?"

"Cough cough." Wen Ci coughed lightly, how many more surprises this child would bring her, she had indeed underestimated her.

Wenn Miao snapped back, casually saying, "Ah? We don’t know either, just a nobody, Fuyi, do you recognize her?"

True Monarch Fuyi frowned, looking at Jiang Yuebai in the field, diligently searching his memory, to no avail, "Seems familiar, but I can’t remember."

"And you?" Wenn Miao asked the others.

The other True Monarchs all shook their heads, denying recognition. Lingjun and Ancient Spring, among other Golden Core Masters who once taught Jiang Yuebai, all covered their faces in shame, thinking her a naive girl, never realizing she was a peerless genius!

Wenn Miao shrugged, "See, just a nobody, True Monarch Zhong Shan, no need to panic."

Wenn Miao grabbed a wine jug, took a sip to calm her nerves, cursing internally, damn you, Lii Jiuchuan, for keeping such a treasure from me, and asking me to look out? I’ll look out for my ass!

The internal and external atmosphere was tense.

Jiang Yuebai stood firm with the spear, her hair flying in the wind.

"I am Jiang Yuebai!"

The dormant dragon startled from its sleep, roared, shaking the mountains!
