Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 514 - 10: Demonic Sect Enchantress, Overturning the Heavenly Gang
Chapter 514: Chapter 10: Demonic Sect Enchantress, Overturning the Heavenly Gang
Mei Yingxue was working on her desk.
There were many materials on the desk. A large stack on the left contained various calculation data about the current progress of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence, while on the right were the psychological diagnostic reports of the members of the four major teams.
This Earth, which was gradually starting to comprise Spiritual Energy, was quite different from the Cultivation World she originated from.
Take the Foundation Establishment Realm as an example: in the Cultivation World, cultivators start their journey with mortal bodies, not reaching the Marrow Cleansing Stage until the Qi Refining Stage was complete. This process usually required at least sixty years of arduous cultivation, which was also referred to as “a sexagenary cycle of skill” to measure whether the cultivator has reached the threshold of the Dao Entry Realm.
Without spending a sexagenary cycle, even if you cultivate for thirty or forty years, in the eyes of a true cultivator, you are still a commoner—at most, a commoner committed to the path of Dao.
However, on Earth, it wasn’t even a year after the Spiritual Energy Resurgence began, and the top cultivators had already reached the Marrow Cleansing Stage. The speed of advancement was astonishingly fast.
In light of this, Mei Yingxue proposed an academic hypothesis: the flow of time differs between worlds, but the flow rate of Spiritual Energy remains a stable universal constant across all universes.
There’s a saying, “A day in heaven is like a year on Earth,” implying that one day in the Immortal Realm equates to a year in the mortal world. Considering that the speed of Spiritual Energy absorption remains unchanged, this means that if two people were to cultivate in the Immortal Realm and the mortal world respectively at the same time, what the former achieves in a day through Breathing and Energy Refining, the latter would have to cultivate hard for an entire year to attain.
With such disproportionate rates of cultivation, Earth undoubtedly has a huge advantage. For example, consolidating the Dao Foundation at the Hua Mansion stage would require at least 200 years of cultivation in the Cultivation World to hope for forming a top-quality Golden Core, whereas on Earth, it’s estimated to take only 2-3 years.
Sometimes, Mei Yingxue even suspected that Earth might be an Immortal Realm in the making. Once the upper limit of Spiritual Energy Resurgence reaches its peak, perhaps more people from the lower realms will ascend in succession… At least, the fact that both she and Zhao Yuanzhen appeared here indicates that the Earth is not a closed time domain, as its spatial barriers are connected to those of other lower realms.
Of course, even with a high rate of cultivation speed, reaching the Perfection of Foundation Establishment Realm would still take 2-3 years, which means that even Lu Country’s strongest batch of cultivators would need until the end of this year or even next year to catch up with her and Zhao Yuanzhen in terms of cultivation progress.
This presented a potential threat.

Mei Yingxue considered herself to be not utterly vicious, but she wasn’t confident about Zhao Yuanzhen. Born in the Demonic Sect, this woman had a pure mind, indifferent to good and evil, often hurting others without realizing it. Should she discover that she suddenly became the most powerful being in this world, it’s uncertain whether she would cast aside all restraint, causing calamity and disaster to the nation and its people.
Her original plan was to have Yan Yu be responsible for restraining the Demonic Sect Enchantress. If discord arose, she would step in to vanquish the evil herself.
However, she did not expect that the other girls in the Zhenhai Team would also fall for the same man as that Enchantress.
Mei Yingxue never doubted the Enchantress’s propensity for ire and violence. When asked for her opinion, she pointed out that employing a harem strategy would be an excellent approach.
The reason is quite simple: if it’s too easy to obtain, it will not be cherished; if it’s unattainable, it will lead to furious rage.
If the Enchantress could not have Yan Yu, she would be consumed by jealousy and potentially wreak havoc upon the living; yet if she monopolizes him, she might later grow tired of the relationship, making her impossible to control and potentially causing even more trouble.
Letting her have the man she loves while ensuring she’s constantly challenged for his affections would occupy her mind with how to secure and maintain his sole attention, leaving no time or energy to create chaos, right?
A beauty’s favor is the ruin of heroes; reversing the genders, the principle remains the same. She even passed on the String-Pulling Technique to Yan Yu, which clearly showed her deep-rooted feelings. If they could maintain this stable relationship, the Enchantress would be a negligible concern.
With this thought, Mei Yingxue picked up the psychological reports of the Zhenhai Team again and flipped through them for a moment.
One of the girls named Chen Lingyun intrigued her, as the report indicated that Chen harbored thoughts of “having Yan Yu establish a harem,” which is not something a normal female would typically consider.
Does she also know how to deal with the Demonic Sect Enchantress?
Perhaps… it would be worthwhile to meet her.
————————
The task of clearing out the Mysterious Realm was nearing its end, and the puppets on the outskirts had been completely dealt with, with only a few remnants left in the central village.
After several weeks of actual combat experience, everyone felt they had made progress.
Lin Ning’s Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step became even more proficient. Just looking at the technique alone, even Yan Yu couldn’t find a single flaw.
Of course, she had completely mastered the “how to step,” but as for “where to step,” she was still unfamiliar. That aspect purely involved the accumulation of battle experience, so it wasn’t expected for her to master it overnight.
Su Yunjin and Chen Lingyun, playing the roles of “luring” and “controlling” monsters, also improved their skills in this area, which was an enhancement of their inherent abilities.
Xie Ruoxi’s aim had finally become passable. She could hit a stationary target eight out of ten times. Too bad it was hard to completely immobilize the enemy for her in real combat—if they were controlled, wouldn’t my Flying Sword striking them be even quicker?
If one were to speak of who gained the most, it would naturally be the Demonic Sect Enchantress.
Ever since the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, the Enchantress had regained her full power and recaptured the feeling of dueling others with spells. Yin Wind Sword + various spells + White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer, she didn’t even need help from teammates and could take down the Sword-Control puppets with a combination attack. As her pride grew, her attitude towards Yan Yu also began to show a hint of defiance.
For example, after dinner when snacking on sunflower seeds in the room, the Enchantress used to say, “Want some? I’ll share with you,” but it had now become, “Here, eat.”
The change in attitude was so noticeable that even Yan Yu realized something was amiss and began to silently contemplate a strategy.
In the past, the Enchantress had three concerns regarding herself: one was Yan Yu’s non-existent master of great divinatory skills, second was the possibility of Mei Yingxue appearing at any moment to threaten her life, and third was being utterly defeated by Yan Yu in actual combat.
The first point, since Yan Yu never brought it up again, was probably almost forgotten by her.
The second point, as her reputation rose within the Zhenhai Team, she no longer feared a surprise assassination attempt by Mei Yingxue.
The third point, with the progression in the revival of Spiritual Energy allowing her to regain her strength, this cheeky girl probably felt she was now capable and no longer the weak woman at Yan Yu’s mercy.
The current change of attitude was definitely just the beginning of her probing. If I don’t discipline her now, in time she may even expect me to feed her!
To turn a Heavenly Gang upside down, how could that be allowed?
Her arrogant attitude must be severely crushed!
As for how to crush it, Yan Yu didn’t yet have a good idea.
Continuing the lie about the master of great abilities wasn’t an option, as it wouldn’t hold up in the long run and it was best not to pile up more lies that would be hard to smooth over later. Maybe calling Teacher Mei over to give the Enchantress a good thrashing?
That wouldn’t do either. The reason the Enchantress feared Teacher Mei was due to Mei’s ruthless Immortal Sword which she drew to kill upon meeting—merely getting thrashed would only make the Enchantress more certain that Mei wouldn’t kill her, but actually killing her was out of the question, so this plan was unfeasible.
So it seems I have no choice but to find a reason to beat her up myself.
Zhao Yuanzhen was unaware that Yan Yu was harboring such unfriendly thoughts towards her. She was currently nibbling on chicken feet snuck out from the cafeteria when something else came to her mind, and she asked Yan Yu:
“Hey, want some?”
Yan Yu looked up and saw the half-eaten chicken foot in her hand, glossy with translucent strands… His forehead vein throbbed, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his thoughts darkened.
It’s a provocation, isn’t it? Definitely a provocation. You’re really asking for it, aren’t you?
“Keep it for yourself,” he said, giving a genial smile. “Fill up now while you can, eat well.”
“Alright then,” Zhao Yuanzhen stuffed the chicken foot back into her mouth, mumbling unclearly, “Ningning still has a bag of them; I might as well finish them all off.”
