I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

In the quiet room of the cabin, Jiang Yuebai spent an entire month to completely sacrificially refine all five items given to her by True Monarch Cang Huo.

Speaking of these five items, True Monarch Cang Huo took two years to refine them before completing them. Before she left the sect, she went to retrieve them with great anticipation, only to see a row of gourds of different colors.

True Monarch Cang Huo hadn’t even given them names, simply calling them the Golden Gourd, Wooden Gourd, Water Gourd...

He said these five gourds were all from the same vine, each corresponding to one of the Five Elements, and that he obtained them after a near-death experience in the Extreme South Chaos Land.

He also mentioned that they were called Ruyi Treasure Gourds, capable of storing nature’s spiritual energy and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to nurture Five Elements Treasures, provided she placed her growth-capable magic treasures inside them to nurture and enhance them with Five Elements Essence Qi.

By injecting the spiritual nature of Five Elements Spiritual Objects into them, the gourds could potentially become spiritual artifacts through a process of Heavenly Tribulation purification that would crack them open.

While Five Elements Essence Qi was easily obtainable, the spiritual nature of Five Elements Spiritual Objects was rare, making them largely impractical to True Monarch Cang Huo, resulting in them being left for Jiang Yuebai at this time.

True Monarch Cang Huo had also inscribed five arrays onto the gourds, with True Monarch Fuyi acting as the main scribe. It took two years due to waiting for True Monarch Fuyi to exit seclusion.

This array was derived from True Monarch Fuyi’s observation of the mountains and terrains in the Land of Azure Flame, reflecting on the ’Pseudo Heaven and Earth Five Elements Great Array’ used in ancient times to jointly seal the Ghost Clan.

By using the method of arraying Dao cultivators to refine their array lifebound magic treasures, the arrays were inscribed onto the gourds and gradually refined into the magic treasures, which made the magic treasures become array devices, enabling the deployment of a great array with a wave of one’s hand.

Now all five gourds stood on her Five Elements Dao Platform. As they were related to the great array of the Land of Azure Flame, Jiang Yuebai placed the water attribute Condensing Light Mirror and the wood attribute Green Jade Bamboo Flute into the Water Gourd and Wooden Gourd respectively. The magic treasures inside the gourds could be taken out at any time for use without affecting anything.

Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment and then took out the Fire Gourd.

"Little Green, come out for a bit."

A beam of white light shot out from the center of her brows, transforming into a Pure White Palace Lamp, with the surrounding phosphorescent flames growing from two clusters to three, each being a gray Netherworld Yin Fire, a dark red Earth Evil Fire, and the recently absorbed white Primordial Turtle Pill Fire.

[What’s up]

Jiang Yuebai rubbed her nose, "Come closer, let me tell you."

Little Green swayed in front of Jiang Yuebai, and she clasped the Fire Gourd, sucking Little Green inside before it could react.

Before Little Green could struggle, Jiang Yuebai quickly sealed the gourd’s opening.

The Fire Gourd shook violently in mid-air.

"What are you saying? I can’t hear you. Just stay inside. This gourd will allow you to transform and become a spiritual artifact, and then you will be able to truly dominate all directions."

The Fire Gourd stopped shaking, and Jiang Yuebai stored it in her Dantian. Now, only the Golden Gourd and Earth Gourd still needed two magic treasures, and for the Golden Gourd, she wanted to find a set of magic treasures similar to the Green Cicada Flying Coin, while the Earth Gourd ideally needed a magic treasure specializing in defense.

After completing the sacrificial refining of the gourds, Jiang Yuebai wrote a letter to the Supreme Elder explaining her departure from the sect, planning to find a Hongyan Building in the North Sea to send it.

By then, with the mountains high and the Emperor far, the Supreme Elder couldn’t come to drag her back.

Having finished her tasks, Jiang Yuebai withdrew the protection array, leaving the quiet room empty as Tang Weimian was not there.

This quiet room was shared between her and Tang Weimian, with a protection array dividing them in the middle, allowing separate activities without disturbances.

The high-pitched call of seagulls came from outside, along with some battle-like rumbling, distant and faint.

Jiang Yuebai stretched and walked out of the quiet room.

Looking out, the vast blue sea stretched endlessly, the waves crashing, spray flying, the salty and damp air rushing to her face.

"When did we enter the sea, I didn’t even know."

The floating boat consumed a significant amount of spirit stones while flying through the air, so after entering the sea it sailed normally on the water, only activating the protection array on the ship.

Jiang Yuebai circled around the cabin and came to the front deck, where she saw many Array Dao Disciples gathered by the railing, their eyes fixed intently ahead, the sounds of battle coming from that direction.

Seeing Hee Wangchen amongst the crowd, Jiang Yuebai proceeded to ask, "What’s happening?"

Hee Wangchen glanced back at Jiang Yuebai, looking crestfallen, "A large group of Dragon Tiger Sharks was found ten miles away. The senior brother took Senior Sister Tang to kill them, but he dislikes my low cultivation and left me out, how infuriating!"

"If he didn’t take you, couldn’t you have gone by yourself?"

With that said, white feathers scattered from Jiang Yuebai, and she mounted an Immortal Crane to soar into the azure sea and sky.

The Immortal Crane skimmed the water, spraying cool waves into the air. Observing the expansive sky and the surging sea, a sense of grandeur rose in Jiang Yuebai’s heart.

In the blink of an eye, the wind and clouds above became volatile. Black clouds hung low ahead, with flashes of lightning flickering threateningly within the cloud layers.

Jiang Yuebai saw Li Shen Zhi cloaked in no fewer than five layers of protective Gang Qi, standing at the edge of the stormy deep sea, facing the raging waves, watching Tang Weimian battling alone in the sea.

Many Dragon Tiger Shark carcasses were floating on the sea surface, their bodies massive, with tiger heads, dragon tails, and shark fins, and mouths filled with sharp teeth, looking extremely menacing.

Tang Weimian furrowed her brows, drenched all over, standing on the sea and manipulating three one-person-tall array flags to support a fiery red great array barrier, unleashing meteor fire rains onto the sea, bombarding it fiercely.

Boom boom boom!

In the intense rumbling, the Dragon Tiger Shard faced a bloody onslaught, the scent of blood inciting the shark school to swirl up sea whirlpools around Tang Weimian, launching water arrows from all directions.

The shark school gathered more and more, each Dragon Tiger Shark possessing the might of an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Under the tempestuous assault of water arrows, Tang Weimian failed to notice once, and the array flag behind her was shot through at the waist by a water arrow, causing the entire great array to sway precariously.

Roar!

The Dragon Tiger Sharks collectively let out a deafening tiger roar, their sonic waves shattering the great array as Tang Weimian’s eyes widened, hastily taking out new array flags to repair it.

Simultaneously, all the tiger sharks turned around, swinging dragon tails behind them, stirring up colossal spray with tremendous force, aiming mercilessly at Tang Weimian.

Finally, Li Shen Zhi, who had been observing from the side, took action, flicking out large black and white chess pieces that landed around Tang Weimian to form an array in an instant.

The array forms invisibly, and aside from slight tremors, it seemed as though nothing changed on the sea surface. However, in the next moment, Jiang Yuebai watching from afar widened her eyes.

Sword Qi, blade gang, ripped through the air, severing dozens of dragon tails mid-air, and blood sprayed everywhere.

Li Shen Zhi’s invisible array, within an instant, exterminated all the surrounding Dragon Tiger Sharks.

In comparison to Tang Weimian’s earlier powerful meteor fire rain, Li Shen Zhi’s attack held no form or shape, yet it subtly imposed a stronger sense of pressure on Jiang Yuebai.

Moreover, Tang Weimian required various arraying devices for arraying. Even with pre-drawn array plates, it took several moments of initiation by divine sense for the array to form.

Once the formation was set, the great array barrier was clearly identifiable, making it easy for people to detect and guard against.

Conversely, Li Shen Zhi could form an array with a wave of his lifebound magic treasure, the array forming silently and unassailably.

Despite Tang Weimian approaching Peak Foundation Establishment, there was a world of difference compared to Li Shen Zhi, a cultivator at Early-Stage Golden Core.

Recently, Jiang Yuebai had been pondering the differences between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, laying the groundwork for her eventual Core Formation.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai stepped forward.

"Master Li, may I ask you to share some techniques with me?"
