The Demon Xiazhuo was filled with disbelief. He murmured, "How could there be Tribulation Qi in my fairy's Sea of Consciousness?"

Passing through layers of negative emotional clouds, an even more eerie layer of gray Tribulation Qi covered the surface.

This is not the work of a celestial Heavenly Demon; it is a product of the great calamity that has occurred.

Those who have read "Investiture of the Gods of the Gods" know that the most terrifying thing in the world of Investiture of the Gods is not the innate magic weapon, nor the Five Elements spiritual light, nor even the great Saint of the sects and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Even Shen Gongbao from the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods, wasn't the most terrifying when he called out, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

The most terrifying thing in the entire Investiture of the Gods story is the omnipresent, formless, and intangible Tribulation Qi.

The saying goes: Tribulation Qi enters the body, all Five Skandhas become confused.

The cultivator had clearly decided to stay at home, but after the Tribulation Qi penetrated deep into his Sea of Consciousness, his mind was completely sealed, and he seemed to become a different person, uncontrollably leaving his cave.

Some people deliberately rushed into the dangerous battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods and were beaten into a bloody pulp.

Some people, upon hearing "Fellow Daoist, please wait," gladly faced death without seeking anything in return.

Someone dared to speak arrogantly to the Saint and was instantly killed.

Those cultivators whose bodies were invaded by the Tribulation Qi were like puppets, their thinking devoid of logic, devoid of any self-interest, Isshin focused on venting their anger.

But I have no idea where this anger came from.

That's terrifying.

Fortunately Shazo Zuo was not a cultivator, but Heavenly Demon disguised as a cultivator's remnant soul.

The Heavenly Demon is part of the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, and should not be affected by the Tribulation Qi. However, as soon as he came into contact with the Tribulation Qi, it turned into calamity lightning, which made his whole body tremble.

That's really unreasonable!

Everything is acting strangely right now, leaving Shazo completely baffled.

He increasingly felt the situation was critical; Fairy Jin Shunyao was in grave danger, and he grew increasingly anxious.

Shazo is still in a semi-parasitic state. If the fairy perishes, he will not gain freedom, but will perish along with the collapse of the fairy's Sea of Consciousness.

Ignoring the pain and danger, he plunged into the Tribulation Qi of calamity, enduring the Tribulation Qi Lightning were hitting him, and desperately flew upwards.

After an unknown period of flight, he successfully passed through the Tribulation Qi and entered a space filled with a hazy purple light, where he saw the nascent Nascent Soul of Jin Shunyao, the two-headed Five Spirits Fairy.

At this moment, he also connected with Fairy Jin Shunyao's five senses, saw what she saw, and heard what she heard.

He saw a young girl in a plain-colored long dress pointing at Jin Shunyao and scolding her, "Jin Shunyao! You have privately modified the sect's secret techniques, causing damage to the foundations of dozens of disciples. What is your punishment?"

Shazo: "?"

"Dozens of disciples, barely having entered the sect, have had their paths to immortality severed simply because they practiced the secret technique you modified. If this scandal were to spread, wouldn't my Qingyan Sect be utterly disgraced!"

Shazo: "??"

"For such a grave crime, Jin Shunyao, you should cripple your cultivation and voluntarily enter the Siguo Cliff Repentance to be punished by the Astral Wind and divine thunder, as a sign of your atonement!"

Shazo: "???"

[What am I doing here? Am I still in Cultivation World? Why does this place have such a strong female-oriented vibe?]

Just as Shazo was wondering what had happened, the Fairy Jin Shunyao, whom he was possessing, stood up and let out a sigh.

The sigh was mournful and melodious, so beautiful and pleasing to the ear that Shazo couldn't help but shiver.

[Even a sigh can be so sweet and melodramatic, this isn't my fairy!]

Shazo turned his attention back to the fairy's Nascent Soul, using his spiritual energy to disperse Nascent Soul Tribulation Qi surrounding it and awaken her spirituality.

Fairy Jin Shunyao was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Shazo Zuo, what are you doing in my Violet Mansion?"

Shazo pinched his throat and said in a clear but aged voice, "Little Five Elements, you are in grave danger. I have no choice but to leave my Sea of Consciousness and directly awaken your Nascent Soul."

Only then did the fairy notice the Tribulation Qi swirling around her Nascent Soul soul, and her face instantly turned pale.

She said in a trembling voice, "How could this be? How could such a catastrophe descend without any warning?"

Shazo scoffed, "A calamity of heaven and earth? Don't talk big. How could a mere lower realm Cultivation World give birth to a calamity of heaven and earth? Do you really think you're in the Great Wilderness World?"

Just now, stimulated, Shazo unlocked part of his compressed memories from the Heavenly Tribulation Shazo, mainly from the common knowledge of the upper realm that heaven and earth infused into him during his Tribulation Transcendence.

The content concerning the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth includes the causes of the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth.

The so-called Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth occurs when the spiritual energy of a world is excessively possessed by immortals. The immortals, who were originally helpful in assisting the operation of heaven and earth, become the source of destruction that greedily devours the spiritual energy.

As the spiritual energy of a world is exhausted, the operation of heaven and earth can no longer be maintained, and the balance is broken, naturally giving rise to immeasurable calamities.

However, this situation only occurs in the upper realms where there is no more room to ascend. In the lower realms where there is Heavenly Tribulation for ascension, since there are no immortal immortals, there will naturally be no imbalance in the operation of heaven and earth due to too many immortals.

Therefore, it is impossible for a great calamity to occur in the lower realm.

The claim that cultivators taking away spiritual energy during their Tribulation Transcendence causes a drop in the world's level is utter nonsense.

Even the most powerful cultivator is but a drop in the ocean compared to a vast world; at best, they are like a mayfly in the boundless universe.

A hundred or so mayflies, not yet immortals, struggled to leave with their own flesh and blood, but to the world at large, they couldn't even cause the slightest ripple.

Hearing Shazo's explanation, Jin Shunyao frowned even more deeply. She asked, puzzled, "If it's not a calamity being born from heaven and earth, then where does this Tribulation Qi come from?"

Shazo replied, "It's simple, they come from other worlds that are undergoing a great calamity."

"There is more than one upper realm that has encountered a great calamity, and they have all dealt with it in different ways."

"Some worlds honestly endured the calamities, while the immortals either generously faced them, were tricked into participating, or fought fiercely in anger. Countless immortals turned to ashes, lightening the burden on heaven and earth and allowing the world to begin its cycle anew."

"Some worlds are insatiable bandits, spreading their Tribulation Qi to the lower realms while simultaneously stealing spiritual energy from them to sustain themselves."

Fairy Jin Shunyao stared in disbelief. "You mean, we were robbed by immortals from the upper realm?"

Shazo nodded. "That's right."

The fairy was utterly dejected. "The upper realm versus the lower realm, immortals versus cultivators—we have no chance of winning."

Shazo laughed loudly, "Who said that?"

"As I said, cultivators before their Tribulation Transcendence are nothing more than mayflies in the grand scheme of things, and even immortals who have transcended their tribulation are not particularly remarkable beings in the grand scheme of things."

"In fact, those immortals who have truly reached the pinnacle and controlled the workings of heaven and earth, would they risk their lives to descend to the mortal realm to harvest resources?"

"Even immortals are no match for Heaven and Earth. They can only use cultivators as pawns, bypassing the laws of Heaven and Earth, harvesting the fortune of the mortal world, and then refining its spiritual energy."

Fairy Jin Shunyao smiled wryly, "Senior Shazo, even if immortals target us cultivators, we cannot resist."

"Look, I'm being controlled by the Tribulation Qi myself, and I'm currently timidly arguing with a disciple, trying to prove that the outer disciple's cultivation method is wrong, and that it wasn't caused by me changing the method."

Shazo glanced at it and smiled, "It's alright, this is easy to solve."

"Let me cast a spell on you to clear away the troubles caused by the Tribulation Qi and restore clarity to your Spiritual Terrace."

Jin Shunyao's Nascent Soul immediately bowed deeply, saying respectfully and excitedly, "Thank you, senior. As long as my Spiritual Terrace can be restored to clarity, the rest will naturally not require your concern; I will handle it myself."

"Although I am not a senior elder in the sect, I am confident that my combat strength is no less than that of a senior elder. After all, he is an old man who is nearing the end of his life."

Shazo nodded in satisfaction. "Excellent!"

Then he used the power of the Heavenly Demon and the Immortal Spirit Power to tear apart the Tribulation Qi that enveloped the Nascent Soul and open up the passage between the Nascent Soul and the Spiritual Terrace.

In Setsuna, Jin Shunyao, the Five Spirits Fairy, was stunned. Her words of rebuttal were not accepted by the people in the sect, and her anxious, tearful eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

She suddenly stood up straight, and then the aura of Void Refinement stage stage cultivator erupted, blasting away all the Qi Refining stage disciples who were criticizing her.

The differences between the five major realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Void Refining are worlds apart.

The Five Spirits Fairy's mere unleashing of her aura was enough to annihilate these weeping disciples, with over twenty dying on the spot.

The Qingyan Sect Enforcement Hall fell into a deathly silence.

Surprisingly, the girl in plain clothes who had initially sued Jin Shunyao stood up. Her face was pale, her body trembled and she looked frail, but her voice was firm and unyielding.

"Fairy Jin, you are an elder of the sect, a pillar of the Qingyan Sect. How could you be so cruel to us Qi Refining disciples?"

The Five Spirits Fairy took a deep breath, feeling a pang of unease, and said, "I've long heard from you, senior, that some worlds are controlled by a law called the 'Female-Oriented World,' where rules are paramount and words are more powerful than magic."

"I thought it was just a joke from my senior, who knew that today we're invading such a world, and they're even targeting me."

"Could it be that I'm actually the protagonist for a moment?"

Jin Shunyao's words reached the ears of every living cultivator in a calm manner, but most of them were puzzled and did not know what she was talking about.

But the seven or eight disciples of the Qingyan Sect, led by the girl in plain clothes, tensed up.

Why did the female supporting character suddenly regain consciousness?

[I don't know, but how will the plot progress if this happens?]

[Why even think about advancing the plot now? Rumor has it that the Five Spirits Fairy Jin Shunyao is ruthless and decisive. If she really regains her senses, the female lead will be in danger.]

[Damn it, the female lead is dead, the plot has completely collapsed, how are we supposed to harvest the luck now?]

[So what if it collapses? I'm not going to fight the Five Spirits Fairy anyway; I don't want to die.]

[Damn you cowards!]

[Haha, he's getting anxious, he's getting anxious.]

[I know, this kid must have bet heavily on the female lead, and he's going to lose everything.]

The strange conversation between these cultivators flowed into Shazo's ears through the [Mantra], and was also clearly heard by the fairy Nascent Soul beside him.

The Five Spirits Fairy was filled with doubts, but it did not affect her actions.

With a gentle wave of her right hand, the girl in plain clothes who had been speaking so eloquently was suddenly gripped by the neck by an invisible hand, unable to utter another word.

Before anyone else could react, the Five Spirits Fairy's right thumb, which was in a grasping motion, swiftly snapped, and the girl in white's neck broke with a "crack."

The elder of the Punishment Hall felt a sudden dizziness, and a surge of anger rose within him. He roared furiously, "Jin Shunyao, how dare you kill sect disciples right in front of me! You have an audacity beyond measure!"

Fairy Jin Shunyao glanced sideways at him, and the next moment, a giant hand made entirely of magic grabbed the elder of the Punishment Hall. With a slight exertion, she broke all his ribs, causing him to spurt blood and almost spill out his internal organs.

As a Punishment Hall Core Formation, Elder Xingtang wouldn't die from such severe injuries, but he was also temporarily out of breath, looking at Fairy Jin Shunyao with eyes full of fear.

Not only him, but all the cultivators present were stunned by this bloody scene. Everyone was silent and dared not utter a single word, or even breathe.

Having stunned the entire audience, Jin Shunyao slowly spoke, "I am an elder of the sect, a Grand Cultivator in the Void Refinement stage."

"But today, I patiently explain to you, how dare you, mere Qi Refining cultivators, insignificant mortals, disbelieve my words!"

"You bastard!"

"What I say is the truth, the evidence. Anyone who dares to question me is a traitor to my Qingyan Sect!"

The aura of the Void Refinement stage stage cultivator erupted completely, causing all cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage to cough up blood and suffer injuries of varying degrees.

Those Qi Refining cultivators who were already injured suffered further severe blows, and only a few survived on the spot.

Fairy Jin Shunyao's beautiful face was as cold as ice. Wherever her gaze Core Formation dared to meet her eyes, and they all lowered their heads.

The elder of the Alchemy Hall frowned and said, "Elder Jin, even if these disciples offended you, your methods are far too cruel—"

[The Five Spirits Wheel Rotation]

Boom-!

Five-colored spiritual energy appeared around the elder of the Alchemy Hall. He was instantly subjected to a hundred times the pressure of the magnetic field, and blood gushed from all nine orifices. He rolled his Byakugan and fainted on the spot. His injuries were even more serious than those of the elder of the Punishment Hall.

The fairy scolded, "You knew they had offended me, so why didn't you say anything before?"

"You think you can be so fair by just showing off your words after I've personally taught them a lesson?"

The elders of the Treasure Pavilion and the Alchemy Hall were friends. Upon seeing their friend injured, they were furious and said, "Jin Shunyao, you are only an elder of the Scripture Repository. What right do you have to attack an elder of the Alchemy Hall so severely?"

[Five Spirits Millstone]

creak-

The elder of the Treasure Pavilion was trapped in a five-colored ring. The five rings, blue, black, red, yellow, and green, rotated individually, grinding the elder's body like beans in a millstone.

Before the elder of the Treasure Pavilion could even utter a sound, his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.

But his fainting did not stop Fairy Jin Shunyao from rebuking him. "Just because I am Void Refinement stage stage cultivator, the gap between mere Core Formation cultivators and me is greater than the gap between him and ordinary people!"

"Within the Qingyan Sect, if you address me as Elder, I will greet you with a smile."

"But outside the sect, whether they are Core Formation cultivators or Nascent Soul cultivators, they all address me as the Five Spirits Primordial Lord," I wouldn't even bother to glance at them.
