I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 32 - 23: (Cultivating) Array Master

Jiang Yuebai flexed her fingers, and the ice shell fell off. She furrowed her brows, recalling the process of casting the spell, and tried again.

Water Spirit Energy was drawn from the Dantian and cast using the Grass and Wood Technique hand technique; the Spiritual Energy trembled, and failed.

Unwilling to concede defeat, Jiang Yuebai continued to try, the hand technique was performed halfway, and failed again.

She tried several more times, and without exception, all failed.

But just earlier, she had clearly succeeded. That Grass and Wood Technique was much stronger than before, and the seedlings under her feet not only revived but also grew taller than the others.

Water nurtures wood; it must be that the Water Spirit Energy enhanced the Grass and Wood Technique, which she understood.

What puzzled her was the ice left on her hands. She remembered that Lu Nanzhi of the Inner Sect seemed to always want to know how water transforms into ice. Did she just happen to succeed accidentally?

At this moment, a flash of cold light passed before her eyes, and the seedlings she had just nourished were frozen again, with the frost rapidly spreading around from the most robust one in the center.

"Damn bug!"

Jiang Yuebai gritted her teeth, maneuvered her hand technique, and shattered the ice shell on the seedlings with sharpness.

Failing to find the trace of the Ice Armor Beetle, Jiang Yuebai trembled all over, locked by a deep cold.

The sound of wind breaking was heard, crystalline blue ice spikes attacked, and the sharpness shattered Jiang Yuebai’s consciousness.

Ugh!

Jiang Yuebai groaned softly, sat down on the ground, her face pale with veins popping out, and nosebleed poured out, unable to endure the stabbing pain in her mind.

"What kind of bug is this, how can it shoot ice spikes?"

After catching her breath, Jiang Yuebai got up and looked for Tao Fengnian, intending to seek help, but saw her grandfather immersed in the busy work at the medicine field afar, thus suppressed the thought.

The ice was still spreading before her, and the Glazed Bottle containing Fiery Sun Water was already empty; something must be done, or all grandpa’s Spiritual Grain seedlings would be ruined.

With a heart to share Tao Fengnian’s burden, Jiang Yuebai resolutely wiped the blood from her nose and approached the seedlings again.

She concentrated fully, carefully searching, when she suddenly noticed a special Ice Armor Beetle hidden in the crevice between the leaves and stem.

The hard shell was crystal clear, and a faint green light flickered within, exuding swirling cold fog, sounding like ice crystals clashing.

Was this the Ice Armor Beetle King recorded in "Marvels Record"?

Yet it seemed somewhat different, as the Ice Armor Beetle King didn’t possess that group of faint green light within its body.

Whoosh whoosh!

The cold fog around the Ice Armor Beetle King surged, and two ice arrows shot out electrically.

With the crisis at hand, Jiang Yuebai instinctively maneuvered sharpness, using the Wood Cutting Blade Method to counter.

Clang!

The sharpness that had slain countless Ice Armor Beetles struck the backbone of the Insect King, shaking the cold fog and sparking fire.

The Ice Armor Beetle King trembled all over, a crack appeared on its shell, revealing many pits corroded by the Fiery Sun Water.

Jiang Yuebai’s spirit lifted, dodging the ice arrows, whirling agilely like a bee.

The Wood Cutting Blade frenziedly chopped around the Ice Armor Beetle King, aiming at its injured places, thick ice armor sparks flew, with cracks gradually multiplying.

Jiang Yuebai’s gaze was fierce, her whole body full of agitated Spiritual Energy, consciousness and Spiritual Energy gathered at one point, mercilessly slashing at the Ice Armor Beetle King’s neck.

Bang!

A slash through the air, the Ice Armor Beetle King turned into a white mist and disappeared without a trace.

Just about to pursue, Jiang Yuebai’s mind exploded.

[Congratulations, your Divine Sense has begun, Sea of Consciousness is wide open]

Like heaven and earth opening for the first time, splitting into two, Pure Qi rising, Muddy Qi descending.

Jiang Yuebai ’saw’ darkness and void filled with lightning and thunder, violent winds swept around, surrounding blue energy and residual cold from the Insect King were all sucked into the newly opened Sea of Consciousness.

In a moment like ten thousand years, when Jiang Yuebai’s consciousness returned to her body, the surrounding seedlings were all withered, a pea-sized ice blue beetle spread its wings and soared skyward.

No time to check the status of the newborn Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Yuebai intuitively screamed, she must catch this bug.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Jiang Yuebai drew the True Wood Cutting Blade from her waist, aiming vigorously at the Ice Armor Beetle King and slashed.

The Insect King was agile, dodged the sword aura, and flew further away.

Jiang Yuebai looked up in frustration, just then, the heavens and earth shook.

Several beams of light centered around the Heavenly Gang Peak, soared from various peaks, tearing through clouds, and spread a massive golden array plate under the sky, rotating slowly.

Like a heavy hammer striking her head, Jiang Yuebai suddenly kneeled on the ground, fleeing Ice Armor Beetle King also fell like a meteor, landing straight before her, struggling to fly.

Jiang Yuebai was overjoyed, hurriedly used the Glazed Bottle which housed Fiery Sun Water to trap the Ice Armor Beetle King, and corked it. The Fiery Sun Water aura intimidated the Ice Armor Beetle King, preventing it from moving.

Finished with that, Jiang Yuebai took off her Conical Hat, shook off the wind and snow from her body, bringing traces of wiped blood beneath her nose, looking around.

The night was deep, snowflakes flew in reverse.

Mixed with ice blue beetles, speckled and fluttering towards the sky, forming a majestic spectacle.

The world was bright and clear, the moon shadow hazy, countless profound runes formed array plates that rotated slowly, dotted with stars spanning the sky.

A female cultivator in plain clothes stood hands behind back, star light swirling around her freely, full of Spirituality.

The female cultivator to the array plate was like Mayfly to Kunpeng.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes were drawn to the female cultivator, unable to look away an inch, her face unclear, only seeing her effortlessly waving her hand sweeping away.

A bright beam from the mountain crest suddenly cascaded down.

The array plate shattered, myriad stars fell, only she remained unmoved!

Black hair flared, clothes fluttered high.

The shock of this instant widened Jiang Yuebai’s eyes to the utmost, what she saw was dazzlingly bright.

She saw the daylight tear through darkness, saw ice and snow melt, saw the earth rejuvenate, saw all the mists vanish.

A snow disaster almost claimed everyone’s life, resolved with a mere wave of her hand!

The morning sunlight shone upon her face, melting all the snow on her.

Still standing in place, Jiang Yuebai looked up, yet the female cultivator was nowhere to be found, only the blazing fire within her heart remained unquenchable.

She wanted this earth-shaking power!

Never had she desired so strongly for strength and to become such a person.

A shadow covered her, carrying Tao Fengnian’s aura, Jiang Yuebai trembled as she asked, "Grandpa, who is she?"

"Heavenly Gang Peak’s head, True Monarch Fuyi Zhao Fuyi. She is an Array Master, currently the Heavenly Interence Sect’s strongest at the Nascent Soul Stage, renowned throughout the Earth Spiritual Realm. A hundred years ago in the Netherworld Sea turmoil, she guarded the pass alone, slew thousands of ghosts at Wentian Island, and made her name in one battle."

Jiang Yuebai withdrew her gaze from the sky, her eyes gradually firmed, having a definite goal for the first time.

"Grandpa, I want to become an Array Master!"
