I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 165 - 139: (Revised) Sky-Breaking Flash
The night was deep, with fierce winds howling.
Jiang Yuebai and Ge Yuchan, both dressed in black, like twin sisters, leapt out from the ruins of the cave.
Roar!!
The roar of the Evil Corpse broke the night’s silence, sending chills down one’s spine.
Ge Yuchan checked the surroundings for safety, while Jiang Yuebai resealed the cave entrance with Cold Ice Thorns and pressed down on a Mysterious Array Plate.
After securing her Eight Arrays Plate, Jiang Yuebai saw Ge Yuchan, like a cat walking in the night, silently leap to her side, lower her body, and hand over three talismans.
"These Turtle Breath Talismans are drawn by me, they can avoid most spells and Divine Sense detection. I can only give you three, each lasts for half an hour, be careful."
Jiang Yuebai graciously accepted the talismanic paper, noting the special runes on it, unlike anything she had seen before, likely one of Ge Yuchan’s hidden aces.
"The name of this talisman is really inauspicious, better change it soon."
Jiang Yuebai took out three Cloud Lark Puppets and a Movie Viewing Mirror, and also three Spiritual Turtle Armor Talismans for Ge Yuchan.
After explaining their usage, Jiang Yuebai asked, "You often venture into the Secret Realm, do you know what these Evil Corpses fear?"
Ge Yuchan pondered for a moment, "The Evil Corpses I encountered before couldn’t move if their spines were broken. Generally, fire can counter Evil, but the Evil Corpses here aren’t afraid of fire. I’ve seen the Liuyun Sect’s Spiritual Water restrain them, and maybe... you can try ice and thunder."
"Thank you."
The two said no more, each heading in opposite directions, disappearing into the night.
The canyon was high, Jiang Yuebai, clad in Black Feather, flew upwards with great effort, her arms sore before reaching the canyon’s height.
A scorching gale suddenly struck, causing Jiang Yuebai to tumble in mid-air, falling with nothing to hold onto, before managing to stabilize herself after much struggle.
"A fledgling eagle must crash a few times when learning to fly."
Strong turbulence swept across the canyon’s sky, with vortexes of wind everywhere, ready to suck in the careless.
"That’s probably why those entering the Secret Realm never bring Flying Spiritual Beasts."
Jiang Yuebai, in black attire and Black Feather, with a Faceless Mask concealing her face and simulating the aura of a beast, felt safe from being detected at this time, as there were no traces of Feather Clan Extraordinary People within her sight.
Initially flying slowly, once adapted, she attempted to accelerate, maneuvering carefully along the canyon’s top, avoiding the vortexes.
"These wings seem to be able to absorb a large amount of Spiritual Energy."
Jiang Yuebai frowned and tried, feeling her body growing lighter and her flying speed increasing as Spiritual Energy flowed in.
After six breaths, with a tenth of her Dantian Spiritual Energy injected, the Black Feather reached a certain limit, suddenly draining nearly a third of her Dantian’s Spiritual Energy.
Jiang Yuebai vanished on the spot, instantly reappearing a mile away.
Steadying herself, Jiang Yuebai glanced back, her eyes gradually brightening.
"Though activating it takes time and consumes Spiritual Energy like a Talisman Treasure, it’s suitable for escape. Let’s try it with Five Elements Essence Qi." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Jiang Yuebai hurried to the forward camp, trying various methods along the way.
After several collisions with the canyon wall, getting dizzy each time, she happily discovered converting Five Elements Essence Qi into Wind Element Essence Qi with her Wind Attribute Divine Sense allowed her to teleport ten miles in three breaths, with herself controlling the direction.
However, doing so caused some damage to the Black Feather Wings, with its frame struggling to withstand such violent and large infusions of Essence Qi.
In other words, in extreme conditions, the wings could be used about twenty times.
"When it comes to life and death, there’s no choice but to use it however many times possible."
Jiang Yuebai named this method ’Sky-Breaking Flash’, and after this uproar, she could vaguely see the towering cliffs ahead and the Great Array Barrier connecting heaven and earth.
On their way here, it took over three days to circle out of the canyon, but now her flight back only took a little over two hours.
Getting too close, to avoid detection, Jiang Yuebai pasted one of Ge Yuchan’s Turtle Breath Talismans on herself and held two Mid-Grade Spiritual Stones in hand to recover her Spiritual Energy.
Carefully inching closer, Jiang Yuebai landed close to the forward camp, hiding behind a huge rock and peering across a canyon path.
There wasn’t such a large Great Array Barrier before; it must have been set up later.
As far as the eye could see, there were Feather Clan Extraordinary People everywhere, armed with long weapons, guarding various spots.
Many Extraordinary People were also busy moving boxes, but being too far, it was too blurry to discern.
Jiang Yuebai released three Cloud Lark Puppets, then pulled out the Movie Viewing Mirror behind a rock.
The Cloud Lark Puppets transformed into the appearance of Red-tailed Sparrows in the Secret Realm, perching on rocks at the edge of the Great Array Barrier.
Two male Extraordinary People carrying boxes paused to wipe their sweat.
"With these Explosive Fire Bombs, when those cultivators retreat back to the canyon, we just need to drop them from above, and they’ll be utterly annihilated!"
"If news of the incidents within the Secret Realm spreads, other Sects won’t let the Sun Erosion Sect off easily. The Young Master is wise, hoping one day all Extraordinary People will no longer suffer slavery, as he promises."
"What are you two chatting about? Get a move on, careful not to hinder the master’s major plans!"
A male cultivator in black, wearing a ghostly face mask, approached, prompting the two Extraordinary People to glare discreetly and continue fetching boxes inside.
The black-clad male cultivator was Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, carrying no insignia. Apart from the Extraordinary People in the forward camp, over twenty such Foundation Establishment cultivators were seen in places reachable by the Cloud Lark Puppet’s vision.
Jiang Yuebai found it strange; one or two Three Elements Sect members sneaking in could be accidental. Such a large number at once seemed odd.
Wait!
Jiang Yuebai suddenly recalled Yun Shang mentioning several months ago that many Foundation Establishment cultivators from all Sects perished in the Secret Realm over these past four months. Could they be infiltrating in batches gradually?
"Who’s there!"
A stern shout, and a Blood Light Needle suddenly struck down one of the Cloud Lark Puppets by surprise.
The black-clad male cultivator, armed with a Seven Evils Banner, charged out of the Great Array Barrier. Jiang Yuebai immediately controlled the remaining Cloud Lark Puppets, detonating them at point-blank range.
Boom boom!
The black-clad cultivator fell from the air, the explosion’s aftershock impacting the Great Array Barrier, which instantly locked onto Jiang Yuebai based on the Divine Sense fluctuations from the puppets.
Colors of light converged from all directions, concentrated at a single point, and shot towards Jiang Yuebai’s location.
Jiang Yuebai immediately threw out an Earth Escape Talisman.
A deafening explosion ensued, in a storm of dust and debris scattering wildly.
Jiang Yuebai brushed off the dust from herself, finding the place where she had just hidden half gone, turned into rubble within the array light, causing her scalp to tighten.
This array’s power was far beyond what a Foundation Establishment cultivator could withstand. Combined with the Feather Clan Extraordinary People’s Explosive Fire Bombs, escaping from here was nigh impossible.
However, when the array activated earlier, she seemed to have seen...
"Over there!"
A group of Feather Clan Extraordinary People, accompanied by a group of Yin Ghosts shrouded in black mist, charged. Jiang Yuebai took a deep look at the distant cliff, unfolded her wings, and fled.
Twice fully activating Sky-Breaking Flash, she instantly escaped twenty miles away.
Jiang Yuebai raced back to their hideout, seeing from afar several hundred Evil Corpses moving in the collapsed canyon area, her heart tightened.
Flying above the Evil Corpses, Jiang Yuebai, although physically powerful and mighty, found they couldn’t use any spells, only possessing Fire Evil Power.
Some beast-type Evil Corpses spotted Jiang Yuebai, leaping from the ruins trying to grab her, raging furiously when they couldn’t reach her.
Roar!!
Jiang Yuebai formed seals with both hands, along with two leaf hands in her Sea of Consciousness.
Cloud Thunder Break!
Four consecutive shots!
Torrential Rain Golden Needles, with roaring thunder, surged electricity, a vast silver sea, blindingly dazzling.
Jiang Yuebai landed atop the ruins, her Black Feather Wings folded, coldly watching as hundreds of Evil Corpses howled miserably in the thunder tides, vanishing, leaving the world silent and clear.
"Indeed, thunder is still effective!"
Not daring to delay, Jiang Yuebai hurriedly found their hideout, discovering the Cold Ice Thorns destroyed, the cave empty.
