Chapter 246: Chapter 244: So That’s It, From Now On, What’s Yours Is Mine

Celeste Grant wasn’t surprised that Jocelyn Grant had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage. After all, she was the heroine of the book, so this was just the kind of treatment a heroine should receive. ’I’m not jealous. Really, I’m not.’

’I was just curious. I had already claimed all the nature’s spiritual energy here for myself, and Javier Sinclair had sealed the Underground Spirit Vein. So how on earth did Jocelyn Grant manage to break through?’

’Could it be that she obtained some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure at the critical moment? That seems to be the only possibility.’

At this thought, she lifted her gaze toward Jocelyn Grant, stared at her, and said, "Jocelyn Grant, did you use the treasure I left underground?"

She had just said it offhandedly, but her words immediately infuriated Jocelyn Grant.

Hearing Celeste Grant claim she was the one who had put the treasure there, Jocelyn Grant’s face flushed red with anger. She snapped furiously, "Celeste Grant, have you no shame? The Earth Heart Flower is a Spiritual Treasure nurtured by heaven and earth! It’s ownerless! Since when was it something you put underground?"

Celeste Grant couldn’t help but retort internally, ’Well, of course she’d run into such bullshit luck.’

’I was just bluffing, but I can’t believe I actually guessed right.’

’To think that an Earth Heart Flower, a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine, was growing right under this mine all this time without anyone discovering it.’

’If used in Alchemy, a single Earth Heart Flower combined with a few other Spiritual Medicines could produce more than ten Eighth-grade Elixir Pills. In the current Cultivation World, anything above an Eighth-grade Elixir is considered a top-grade elixir.’

’So the Earth Heart Flower, a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine, truly is a treasure. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it priceless. And Jocelyn Grant just ate it so casually. What a complete waste of a precious gift.’

At this thought, Celeste Grant shook her head slightly. "A Spiritual Medicine growing underground in my family’s mine... I hadn’t even had the chance to harvest it, and in the end, it went to fatten up a pig."

A pig?

’Celeste Grant is calling me a pig.’

"You’re calling me a pig? Celeste Grant, you dare call me a pig?"

Jocelyn Grant pointed at herself.

Celeste Grant wore an expression that said, ’You admitted it yourself.’ "See? You even admit it yourself. So what’s the issue with me calling you a pig?"

Jocelyn Grant’s hands trembled.

"You’ve gone too far!"

Jocelyn was so furious her chest ached. ’I want to tear that vicious face of hers to shreds!’

With this thought, she continued angrily, "Celeste Grant, how can you be so shameless? I found the Earth Heart Flower because I have good luck! What does that have to do with you? Why don’t you just claim all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures buried beneath the Cultivation World are yours? Can you even afford to make such a claim?"

Celeste Grant couldn’t care less whether she was angry or not. At that moment, Celeste placed a finger on her chin, pretending to be deep in thought, before her expression shifted to one of sudden realization.

"Oh, I see."

"Of course I can afford to make that claim. Definitely."

She gave a small smile and nodded, her face a picture of understanding.

"Thank you for the reminder! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that... Yes, yes, fellow cultivator, I understand now. From now on, any fortuitous opportunity or treasure that you, Jocelyn Grant, find in the Cultivation World was placed there by me ahead of time. Therefore, you have the right to find it, and I have the right to take it back. What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine. I am now thoroughly enlightened."

The moment she said this...

...Jocelyn Grant’s composure shattered instantly.

She couldn’t stop a curse from escaping her lips.

"Enlightened my ass! Are you insane? Impossible! Don’t even think about it! My things and my opportunities are mine! Even if I throw them away, you can’t have them." ’If it ever came to that, I’d rather destroy it than let Celeste Grant get her hands on it.’

Jocelyn Grant was so furious she felt like she was having a heart attack. ’How can this bitch be so infuriating!’

’And to make matters worse, I can’t even win a shouting match against her.’ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"How can someone as shameless as you exist in this world? No wonder you’ve stooped to consorting with Demon Cultivators. Celeste Grant, you are so vicious your heart deserves to be cut out!"

"Heh, listen to you. What’s wrong with being a little shameless?" Celeste Grant said with a laugh. "Earning your condemnation is an honor for a villain like me. This is my moment to shine; I should be proud. Wow, how am I so incredible? I’m starting to kind of admire myself."

Staring at the outrageously arrogant Celeste Grant before her, Jocelyn Grant felt nothing but humiliation. ’This bitch isn’t ashamed at all—she’s actually proud of it! Does she have no decency?’

"I’ve broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage now. Celeste Grant, do you really think I can’t kill you?"

’My mother is a noble from the Upper Realm, and I now possess spiritual blood. From now on, my Cultivation will be smooth sailing, without any obstacles.’

’What do you have to compete with me, Celeste Grant?’

’You deserve to be trampled under my foot. You were before, and you will be in the future.’

At this very moment, a raging fire burned in Jocelyn Grant’s eyes. All she wanted was to kill Celeste Grant and be done with it; she could think of nothing else.

Celeste Grant, on the other hand, just smiled faintly. "What a coincidence. Who here isn’t at the Nascent Soul Stage? Besides, you’re at best an Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. As it happens, I’m just a tiny bit ahead of you. My current Cultivation is at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul. So, Jocelyn Grant, tell me, are you mad?"

How could she not be?

She was about to lose her mind with rage.

’Why?’

’Damn it!’

She had struggled so hard to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, thinking she could finally dominate Celeste Grant and crush her underfoot. But somehow, Celeste Grant had also broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, and her realm was even higher. How could the proud and arrogant Jocelyn Grant possibly endure this?

Worst of all, Celeste Grant had chosen to break through in the exact same place, right on top of her. Because of that, she had nearly failed at the last second.

The thought filled her with fury.

"Celeste Grant, you did this on purpose! You chose to break through at this exact time to steal my Spiritual Energy and ruin my advancement! Too bad for you, your little scheme failed. I still broke through! You wanted to damage my Dao heart and make it impossible for my Cultivation to advance, but I won’t let you succeed!"

Hearing her accusations, Celeste Grant made no move to deny them. "My, how well you know me."

"You’re courting death!"

Jocelyn Grant’s hands spun in a circle before coming together. The Cultivation in her body condensed, and she thrust a palm strike toward Celeste Grant. The attack was immensely powerful. Even from a distance, Celeste Grant could feel an overwhelming force, like mountains toppling and seas overturning, as the pressure rushed straight toward her.

Seeing this, Celeste Grant remained perfectly calm.

"Then let’s see about that. If one of us has to die today, it’ll be you. Time to see what you’ve really got, Dogcelyn."

Celeste Grant’s sword had an Ice Attribute.

She herself possessed a Mutated Water Spirit Root and a Wood Spirit Root, and the Magic she practiced was tailored to them. So even though she didn’t have an Ice Spirit Root and didn’t practice Ice Magic, the sword was still a perfect fit for her. After all, water can become ice.

Condensing her Cultivation, Celeste Grant performed an elegant flourish with her sword. Water flowed around her body and coiled around the blade. The sword slashed out at an angle, leaving a trail of afterimages in its wake.

In that instant, Ice Attribute Sword Qi, infused with her formidable Cultivation, slashed straight toward Jocelyn Grant.
