Miss Ji's Ambitions for the Ji Clan-Artificial Sacred Body
[Simulation continues]
Although you harbor resentment towards Qin Wangchuan, you are well aware of the importance of this trip.
Fortunately, he didn't linger, only saying "what a pity" before leaving.
[Day 2 of entering the Immortal Path]
Qin Wangchuan's figure had long since disappeared into the depths of the Immortal Path, but that invisible pressure and deep-seated hatred gnawed at your reason like maggots clinging to your bones.
As you watch his retreating figure, you know that dwelling on the past prevents you from moving forward.
"I'm no longer the Miss Ji only needed to hide under my brother's wing!"
The upheaval in your Lineage was like a heavy hammer, shattering all your innocence and vulnerability, forcing you to quickly form a cold and hard shell.
You no longer take that so-called secret path; it only makes you look like a timid, cowering mouse.
You chose to venture directly into those dangerous areas that had been explored but might still have omissions. Every step you took was firm, a way of declaring to fate: the Ji Clan bloodline will never bow down.
Insufficient strength? Unstable cultivation? Deficient mental state? Then make up for it with battle, temper it with blood!
[Day 4 of entering the Immortal Path]
Soon, you encounter a group of five Rogue Cultivators.
They clearly saw you as a lone, easy target, their eyes gleaming with ill intent.
"Young lady, all alone? This Immortal Path is dangerous. Why don't you let your brothers protect you?" The leader approached with a lewd grin.
In the past, you might have taken a more lenient approach to resolving this.
But now, you simply raise your head slowly, and your once lively eyes are now filled with a stagnant, icy coldness.
"Get out, or die."
The Rogue Cultivator burst into laughter, thinking you were just bluffing.
However, their laughter stopped abruptly the next moment.
You moved! You didn't use any obvious Ji Clan techniques, yet your figure moved as elusive as a ghost, and your fingertips somehow caught a poisoned Armor Breaking Needle!
Laugh!
With a barely perceptible thud, a tiny red dot appeared on the throat of the leading Rogue Cultivator. The smile on his face froze instantly, turning into incredulous terror. Then, his entire body turned black, and he collapsed stiffly.
Fast! Ruthless! Accurate!
The remaining four were shocked and hurriedly summoned their Law Artifact.
But you've become a completely different person; you don't cherish Spiritual Power and don't consider the consequences.
He charged into the group of four with a near-suicidal attitude, his Movement Method unpredictable, each strike aimed straight for vital points—poison needles, talismans, and even close-quarters combat where he risked injury for his life!
Screams echoed throughout the room.
Within moments, four more corpses lay on the ground, rapidly growing cold.
You stand in a pool of blood, breathing slightly, with a deep, bone-revealing sword wound on your shoulder, but you seem to feel no pain.
He simply crouched down indifferently, skillfully looting the spoils, taking all the useful pills, Spirit Stone, and materials into his pocket.
"I gave you a chance; you brought this on yourselves."
As you spoke, your eyes, stimulated by the smell of blood, became even sharper and clearer.
[7th day on the Immortal Path]
Your name began to circulate among a small number of remaining independent Rogue Cultivator.
It's not because you were once Miss Ji, but because you're like a cold-blooded madwoman, ruthless and merciless in killing and robbing.
[Day 8 of entering the Immortal Path]
You know the first half of the Immortal Path like the back of your hand; there is Alchemy Chamber set up by the Ji Clan in a Dark Cave under a cliff.
You thought you would make some progress, but to your surprise, the guardian beast in the Alchemy Chamber went berserk after being freed from its restraints. It not only turned the Alchemy Chamber into ruins, but also set its sights on you.
Using the terrain and the disposable explosive magic Law Artifact you had previously looted, you managed to wear down the Stone Puppet at the peak of the Eleventh Realm and obtain the few remaining bottles of the Eight-Turn pill, the Ancient Spirit Pill, from the Alchemy Chamber.
You took the elixir, ignoring the pain of its effects impacting your meridians, and forcibly refined it. Your cultivation steadily recovered and improved amidst the suffering.
[Day 10 of entering the Immortal Path]
As you venture deeper, you discover a hidden cave abode, but this place is not recorded in the Ji Clan's records; it appeared later.
Upon closer listening, it was discovered that a Prodigy Blade Cultivator, unable to suppress his cultivation level while traveling the Immortal Path, set up cave abode dwelling to risk another breakthrough, but was later attacked and killed, thus triggering a chaotic battle.
Inside, several groups of cultivators were already locked in a fierce battle over a broken Ancient Blade and a few pages of Blade Manual.
You didn't immediately join the fray; you were like the most patient hunter, lurking in the shadows.
[Day 13 of entering the Immortal Path]
You only quietly appeared after those people had both suffered heavy losses.
The Nirvana Pearl was used for the first time!
This is a protective Law Treasure given to you by the Ji Clan ancestors.
The gray, eerie light spread silently, and the fighting cultivators were horrified to discover that their Spiritual Power and even their life force were rapidly draining away, and the spiritual light of their Law Treasure was quickly dimming!
Like a grim reaper, you wield a stolen longsword, expressionlessly slaying your weakened and terrified enemies one by one.
In the end, you obtained the Ancient Blade <Lu Ying>, which exuded an extremely malevolent aura, and those few pages of the eerie Blade Manual.
You grip the Ancient Blade, feeling its bloodthirsty aura, and a cold smile curls at the corner of your lips.
"Great, it suits me perfectly."
[Day 25 of entering the Immortal Path]
You have become a terrifying legend on the Immortal Path.
She seizes every opportunity, making her a beautiful yet dangerous "yellow bird."
Your cultivation level has been rapidly improved through continuous killing and plundering, reaching a new level and approaching the Tenth Realm.
Your fighting style has become increasingly ruthless and cunning, incorporating some of the Ji Clan's basic Technique Method, the death power of the Nirvana Pearl, and the killing Saber Intent Blade Manual.
You have discovered another secret treasure recorded in your Lineage's ancient texts—a jade box buried beneath an almost completely collapsed altar.
It didn't contain any offensive treasures, but rather some fragmented text records.
Records about the "Artificial Heavenly Derivation Sacred Body".
Clutching the jade box, you murmured happily to yourself, "With this, the Ji Clan can rise again."
"The elders all said this thing had been destroyed, so sneaking out to try our luck was definitely the right thing to do."
[Simulated Pause]
Qin Wangchuan clearly sensed something was wrong when he saw this.
"Artificial Sacred Body..." he murmured, a dangerous glint in his eyes, "If it truly succeeds, it could indeed allow a Lineage to Defy Fate."
"But such an important item was lost, yet the Ji Clan's higher-ups casually asserted it was destroyed? They didn't even send a proper search team?"
"Either they've abandoned the idea, or they have a bigger plan."
[Simulation continues]
After searching everywhere, you not only found the record book, but also a special Shadow Escape Talisman made by the Ji Clan.
Being able to instantly teleport to the Immortal Path Entrance is undoubtedly a godsend!
[Day 40 of entering the Immortal Path]
The journey to Immortal Path is nearing its end.
You have reaped great rewards, your cultivation has skyrocketed, your methods have become ruthless, and your temperament has been tempered to be as hard as ice.
You are preparing to find a way out, planning how to use these resources and power to buy the Ji Clan a chance to breathe under the shadow of the Qin Clan, and even... the future.
However, at this very moment--
Rumble!!!
The entire Immortal Path Secret Realm suddenly trembled violently! It was far more terrifying than any battle between cultivators or the emergence of a treasure!
In the sky, the originally magnificent celestial light was forcibly torn apart by huge, ugly, pitch-black cracks! Within the cracks, there was not emptiness, but a suffocating, violent, and destructive Dark Purple Evil Energy surging out!
