Chapter 70: "With your Golden Core, the beauties of the world are yours to choose!"
Chapter 70: "With your Golden Core, the beauties of the world are yours to choose!"
This was the first time he and the Scholar had worked together.
The synergy between a Sword Cultivator and a Spellcaster was even better than he had imagined.
The Scholar's flying sword speed, far surpassing that of a typical Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, combined with his current advanced attack methods, made them nearly invincible in this environment rich in Spirit Energy.
Naturally, these cultivators didn't want to just sit back and take the beating. But how could they fight back?
They couldn't even catch a glimpse of the green light that kept darting through the air. And if they did manage to catch a glimpse, they would see a young man in a green robe, playing with several palm-sized lightning orbs, standing before them with a smile.
Area bombardment.
Precision grass-cutting.
With just these two techniques, they had dealt a devastating blow to the nearly ten thousand Demon Clan cultivators present.
In less than half a shichen, the plains outside Fufeng City gradually quieted down. The black mist, which had been pushed back, now returned, once again reducing visibility to what it had been before.
"Huff!"
Chen Qiu exhaled lightly, stepping down from his flying sword. Through the black mist, he could vaguely see the scorched earth and several corpses not far away, a faint smile appearing on his face as he spoke softly.
"Our teamwork was great."
"Mhm."
The Scholar nodded, a bit sullen. He acknowledged that the result was indeed impressive, but it didn't align with his ideals for Sword Cultivators. He felt it was a disgrace to the principles of Sword Cultivation.
"Can you recover your cultivation?"
Chen Qiu turned to the Scholar and asked softly.
"It's very difficult."
The Scholar shook his head. "Thanks to the Heavenly Dao Treasure Jade you gave me last time, the toxins in my body have been largely suppressed. But it's incredibly hard to completely eliminate them. At least, I currently don't know of any kind of pill that can thoroughly purge these toxins."
"Mhm."
Chen Qiu nodded, not saying more. But he already had an idea in mind.
He had obtained many treasures suitable for Sword Cultivators in the Mock Heaven Sect, such as the one that increased his understanding of Sword Techniques just by touching the 'Sword Bone'. He planned to thoroughly research the Mock Heaven Sect once this matter was resolved.
He also wanted to find out what the Heavenly Dao's blessing was after a sect made it onto the rankings.
After that, he could consider recruiting the Scholar into the Mock Heaven Sect.
For now, a Spellcaster and Sword Cultivator made a great pair, especially one who specialized in flying sword speed. But this combination could only be effective in an environment with abundant Spirit Energy. Once they left this place, the Scholar wouldn't be able to use Spirit Energy as freely as he did now.
When the opportunity arose, he would try to help the Scholar recover his cultivation. Even if it was too difficult to restore his cultivation, he could at least help him advance to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. That way, even outside this environment, he could still use more Spirit Energy and control his flying sword for longer durations.
Chen Qiu didn't say more.
Instead, he glanced at the Fufeng City cultivators standing nearby, their eyes wide with shock. Then he looked towards the Demon Cultivator corpses deep within the black mist and said with a light laugh, "I'll stand guard here. You guys go and search the bodies."
"Collect the spoils of war."
Within a thousand li, the black mist enveloped everything.
The small-scale changes in the Heavenly Dao's "Worldly Strife" version, which occurred before the major update, had already spread along with the news of Fufeng City's fall. While not everyone in the nation knew about it, those with a certain level of influence were all aware of this incident.
By now, many influential forces had dispatched people to guard the edge of the black mist.
Patiently, he waited for the black mist to dissipate.
"Don't be sad."
The Sect Master of Heavenward Sect sat helplessly on Zhao Yishi's shoulder, turning his head to look at Zhao Yishi's enormous and hazy pupils. With a sigh, he felt a twinge of guilt and said, "If only you had told me earlier that your new friends were also in Fufeng City. You informed me too late."
"By the time you mentioned it, it was already too late to go back."
"I could only rescue you and the other disciples of Heavenward Sect."
"Of course, don't be too upset. Perhaps they are lucky and will come out alive."
Indeed, he knew that these words were a lie, but he had no choice but to say them. He couldn't very well tell Zhao Yishi that his friends were definitely doomed.
What if the only hope of the sect developed depression and spoke up? That would be pure nonsense.
After all, an equal number of Demon Clan cultivators had arrived, and if he had been a moment slower, there would have been one more Demon Clan cultivator of the same cultivation level as him.
It was no exaggeration to say that a Demon Clan cultivator of the same level could easily overpower him like squashing a little chicken.
Don't joke around; the cultivators in the Heavenly Dao Prison had their cultivation levels completely fixed. After hundreds of years of doing nothing but dedicatedly cultivating various spells, even the most basic spell, like the Ground Penetration Technique, was probably already at the Great Perfection Realm.
They would crush him in every aspect, and the idea of him defeating them was laughable.
His only advantage might be that the cultivators in the Heavenly Dao Prison had very few external resources like talismans and pills. After all, this wasn't the first time the Heavenly Dao Prison had appeared, and every time someone emerged from it, they were in the same state.
Over a hundred years, these external resources had been almost completely depleted.
Only Spirit Treasures, when used sparingly, wouldn't shatter.
"Oh."
Zhao Yishi stood in place like a towering mountain, looking down at the ground and whispering to the young couple below, "I'm not worried about them. I'm just thinking, Sect Master, do you think I can find my own Dao companion in this lifetime?"
"Hmm?"
The Sect Master of Heavenward Sect subconsciously looked down at Zhao Yishi's crotch and his mouth twitched slightly. He patted the sturdy shoulder next to him gently and said, "A cultivator of the Dao should stay away from women."
"But I want to have sex."
"That's vulgar, remember the Heavenward Sect's principles: stay away from desires and maintain Six Sense Purity."
"I still want to."
"Don't think about it for now. Once you become a Golden Core Cultivator, all the beauties in the world will be at your disposal."
"You said the same when I was at the Qi Condensation Stage, and you promised that once I break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, I'd have whatever I wanted."
"Foundation Establishment is just a small hurdle. Trust me, once you become a Golden Core Cultivator, all the beauties in the world will be yours for the taking!"
"Oh, have you reached the Golden Core stage, Sect Master?"
"Yes, I have."
"So, have you had your pick of all the beauties in the world?"
"This old master is not interested."
"Is it because you can't?"
"..."
The Sect Master of Heavenward Sect remained silent for a long time. Who had suggested betting everything on cultivating Zhao Yishi?
Now, he was also in a difficult situation.
Even a fool would know that as long as Zhao Yishi was cultivated, he would become one of the top Golden Core Cultivators in combat power if he found a suitable cultivation technique or entry that matched his physique and broke through to the Golden Core stage!
But the problem now was...
If he continued to support Zhao Yishi, it would be easy for him to drag down the entire sect.
