Skull Mountain's White Bone Cave! Shiji's Secluded Cultivation in the Jie Sect

Although Guiling and Jinling were preparing to leave Bo Yikao, the reincarnation of Purple Tånúó Star, with an unforgettable memory.

But neither Guiling nor Jinling intended to do anything to Bo Yikao.

Even if it was for Bo Yikao's sake, both Guiling and Jinling were Quasi-Sage, so naturally they wouldn't stoop to scheming against Bo Yikao, a mere Golden Immortal.

After all...

They didn't need to scheme about this at all.

With a mindset like Bo Yikao's, in this sensitive era, calamity will inevitably come knocking on his door sooner or later.

Just as they had planned, all they needed to do was block Bo Yikao's rescue efforts and cut off his hopes.

Naturally, Bo Yikao will be forced to return to his rightful place.

The difference between the two women's current situation and the previous plan is that... the tribulation facing Bo Yikao will be more than just a simple matter of death.

It became an unforgettable ordeal that left an indelible impression on Bo Yikao's heart and changed his character.

The occurrence of such a calamity requires waiting for an appropriate opportunity.

Therefore, the Guiling waited in Xiqi for the right opportunity to appear.

Meanwhile, Jinling continued to wander through the Nine Provinces the Human Race, searching for other reincarnations of Star Gods.

This day.

Jinling emerged from a Human Race city, her expression calm and serene.

She did not find the reincarnation of the Star God in this city.

Certainly.

Jinling was not disappointed.

The Human Race is vast, encompassing Nine Provinces, and the number of Human Race cities is astronomical.

The reincarnation of hundreds of star gods into the Human Race is like throwing a grain of sand into the ocean.

Finding it is naturally extremely difficult.

Domain Gate outside the city, Jinling stepped inside. In the strange realm behind the Domain Gate, Jinling continued to move forward, preparing to travel to other Human Race cities.

But suddenly, Jinling sensed a very familiar aura.

That is...

"The aura of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method!"

Jinling looked at the familiar aura coming from another direction, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

The so-called Supreme Purity Immortal Method is naturally the immortal cultivation Immortal Method passed down by her master Supreme Purity Celestial Venerable Lingbao, and it is the fundamental law of her Jie Sect.

"Are there any disciples of my Jie Sect in the Nine Provinces?"

Jinling was somewhat surprised.

Although it doesn't affect cultivation within the Nine Provinces of the Human Race, the suppressive power of the Nine Provinces Barrier is not easy to bear.

Moreover, her disciples of the Jie Sect did not have to hide from the dangers of the Primordial World in Primordial World Human Race Nine Provinces, like countless other weak creatures.

In the Primordial World, even if she was just an outer disciple of the Jie Sect, no cultivator would dare to kill her without cause.

A sense of curiosity arose in her heart, and without much hesitation, Jinling changed direction and flew towards the direction of the aura she sensed.

Even after using it many times, Jinling couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of this Human Race Domain Gate.

Even outside of the Human Race Nine Provinces, where it's difficult to use Divine Ability, he would probably be extremely popular in the Primordial World.

It does not require consuming any Law Power; it only requires withstanding spatial pressure to quickly traverse extremely long distances.

For Daluo Golden Immortal or a Quasi-Sage, this is naturally nothing.

However, for Taiyi Golden Immortal below the Daluo, and even weaker cultivators, the existence of this Domain Gate is incredibly convenient.

After all, they are different from powerful beings like the Daluo and Quasi-Sage, who can travel rapidly through the void in the Primordial World.

In the Primordial World, even for Taiyi Golden Immortal to use Divine Ability to travel, it would be far less convenient and faster than simply passing through this Domain Gate.

But...

Jinling was only thinking about it.

After all, refining Domain Gate is no simple matter. Based on the classification of Domain Gate, even a small Domain Gate can be refined by Daluo.

The most powerful Domain Gate are so powerful that even Quasi-Sage struggle to create them; they are treasures that only Sage can forge.

Moreover, the financial and material resources required to cover the Primordial World with such a Domain Gate are enormous.

No Sage would spend such a huge sum of money to do such a thing.

After all, for Daluo Golden Immortal, there isn't much difference between traveling through Domain Gate and traversing the void on their own.

The existence of Domain Gate in the Nine Provinces is due to their unique environment.

Stepping out of the Domain Gate.

Jinling sensed the aura of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method not far away, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

She had already sensed which junior sister was emanating the aura of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method.

Previously, in the strange realm behind the Domain Gate, although the aura of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method could be sensed, it was difficult to detect the identity of the cultivator.

Now that they had stepped out of the Domain Gate and were quite close, Jinling naturally realized who had possessed the Supreme Purity Immortal Method.

Although the number of disciples in the Jie Sect was large, it was only a few thousand. Naturally, Jinling remembered all of his junior brothers and sisters.

"So it's Shiji Sister Shiji."

Jinling chuckled to herself, then used her Divine Ability to speed off in that direction.

It was such a rare opportunity to meet a junior sister from the Jie Sect in this land of Nine Provinces, so Jinling naturally had to go and visit her.

Although all of the lands of the Nine Provinces belong to the people, the number of Human Race is ultimately too small compared to the vast expanse of the Nine Provinces.

Aside from the numerous Human Race cities, the Nine Provinces are mostly desolate wildernesses devoid of human habitation.

In this desolate wilderness where no Human Race cities exist, even with the suppression of the Nine Provinces Barrier, it did not significantly hinder Jinling's journey.

Soon.

After speeding along, Jinling arrived at a range of mountains.

"Skull Mountain! Is that a fitting name at all?--"

Jinling gazed at the continuous mountain range and instantly recognized its name.

Unlike the lush trees of a normal mountain range, the Skull Mountain in front of Jinling was completely barren.

Looking out, the landscape stretches for thousands of miles and is almost entirely barren mountains and rocks, with very few plants and trees.

To an ordinary person, this place would surely be considered an ominous, desolate mountain where all life has perished.

But in the eyes of a cultivator like Jinling...

Although this mountain is shockingly desolate, it is still a blessed and treasured place.

As for the reason why not a single blade of grass grows there, it is because the energy of the mountains and rocks is too strong, suppressing the growth of vegetation, so naturally nothing grows there.

But it is precisely this powerful energy of the mountains and rocks that makes this place a treasure.

Jinling was certain that within this seemingly desolate mountain range, there must be many treasures and creatures with earth and stone attributes.

"I remember that Shiji Sister Shiji was formed from a Spirit Stone... This place is quite suitable for Shiji."

Jinling nodded to herself.

Judging from this cultivation cave abode, Jinling could tell that Shiji truly had a heart set on cultivating and seeking the Dao.

With this thought in mind, Jinling released a wisp of her aura, and the aura of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method enveloped the Skull Mountain ahead without any concealment.

At the same time.

In the Skull Mountain, in the White Bone Cave, a female cultivator who was in seclusion suddenly opened her eyes.

Without a doubt.

This female cultivator was none other than Lady Shiji, the Jie Sect cultivator whom Jinling had previously sensed.

At this moment, Shiji was startled awake from her cultivation and sensed the aura surrounding Skull Mountain. Her eyes immediately turned cold.

After all, releasing energy arbitrarily near a cultivator's cave abode is almost no different from provocation.

However, she quickly realized what was happening.

Sensing the aura of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method within, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

If an ordinary cultivator did this, it would naturally be considered a provocation; but if it's the aura of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method, then it's naturally an invitation to visit.

And...

Although the aura of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method was not strong, she could sense that the owner of this aura possessed unfathomable cultivation.

He far surpasses her.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shiji walked directly out of the cave abode, and at the same time, a voice containing a hint of excitement resounded throughout the entire Skull Mountain.

"Which senior brother or sister has arrived? I, Shiji, am so sorry for not greeting you properly! Please forgive me!"

The moment those words fell, Shi Ji's figure had already moved from the cave in Skull Mountain to the foot of Skull Mountain.

Upon seeing Jinling's figure in the distance, Shiji was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

Although she could sense the unfathomable depth of the Supreme Purity Immortal Method aura emanating from that Jinling.

However, Shiji herself was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so naturally she couldn't distinguish the difference between Daluo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Sage.

She initially thought it was just Daluo brother or sister from the Jie Sect passing by, but she never expected it.

It turned out to be the Holy Mother Jinling, one of the direct disciples of the Jie Sect, who had arrived.

Immediately, Shiji's already swift movements accelerated even further, and she quickly arrived in front of Jinling, bowing respectfully.

"Shiji greets Jinling!"

"Junior Sister Shiji, there's no need to be so polite." Jinling chuckled lightly; she could naturally see the nervousness in Shiji's heart.

However, she was already used to it.

After all, they are nominally senior and junior sisters.

However, Jinling was one of the Jie Sect, and his cultivation was that of Quasi-Sage, the absolute peak below the Sage in the Primordial World.

Shiji was merely one of the many outer disciples of the Jie Sect, her cultivation level only reaching the Taiyi Golden Immortal, far from the Daluo.

The difference is so great that it cannot be calculated logically.

Certainly.

Although the gap between them is huge, they are still senior and junior sisters, and their relationship is close. Naturally, it is not the same as the normal interaction between Taiyi and Quasi-Sage.

"Jinling, this is Shiji cave abode. It is a simple cave abode, please forgive its simplicity."

Shiji led Jinling to her White Bone Cave, where she cultivated, and an embarrassed look immediately appeared on her face.

Although it is called cave abode.

But in reality, it's just a cave with some array formations around it.

To call it rudimentary would be an understatement.

However, Jinling didn't care about the nature of such a thing. After seeing Shiji's cave abode, he appreciated Shiji even more.

Of course, despite this, the location of this cave abode is extremely ingenious, situated on the most important node of mountain and rock energy in the entire Skull Mountain.

For cultivators like Shiji, whose Spirit Stone form, this is definitely an excellent place for cultivation.

"Shiji Sister Shiji is so devoted to her cultivation, I'm overjoyed, how could I possibly be offended!" Guiling said with a light laugh.

This kind of disinterestedness in seeking pleasure and single-minded focus on spiritual cultivation is extremely rare within the entire Jie Sect.

On this point alone...

Jinling believed that Shiji Daluo had a chance.

Only...

Jinling looked up at the name above the cave abode, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"The White Bone Cave!"

"Skull Mountain, White Bone Cave! The names of this place... are rather inappropriate!" Jinling frowned slightly and said softly.

Certainly.

The so-called Skull Mountain is not actually Skull Mountain, and the White Bone Cave is not covered with Bai Gu.

It's just a name!

But even in the Primordial World, names possess power.

Perhaps Shiji didn't care, but the name of this mountain cave abode didn't sound like the cave abode of a quiet cultivator.

There must be cause and effect at the Unseen.

However, Jinling didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just a trivial, inappropriate name for a Daoist temple; the Jie Sect can still protect it.

Upon hearing Jinling's words, Shiji, who was standing nearby, quickly offered an explanation.

"Senior Sister Jinling, this cave abode was an Evil Dao's training ground before you arrived. After you captured it, you only suppressed it out of consideration for its difficult cultivation."

"After my junior sister took over the name of this training ground, she never changed it."

Jinling nodded upon hearing Shiji's explanation.

She could tell that what Shiji said was true, and there was nothing false or untrue about it.

Shiji merely suppressed the Evil Dao without killing him, and said nothing more.

He merely offered Shiji a reminder.

"In that case, Shiji Sister Shiji should change the name of this dojo as soon as possible. After all, Skull Mountain White Bone Cave don't quite fit the image of a place for quiet cultivation."

Jinling said with a light laugh.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to the name "Skull Mountain, White Bone Cave," but later she got used to it.

But now that Jinling has said that, she has also realized that something is amiss.

"Yes, Junior Sister will correct it as soon as possible!" Shiji replied.

White Bone Cave.

Jinling was slightly taken aback when she saw that the cave was even simpler than it appeared on the outside.

She had initially thought the cave was simple, but she hadn't expected it to be this simple.

Jinling gazed at the stone bed in the cave, which could be seen from beginning to end at a glance.

There's not even a place to sit.

Jinling never expected it to turn out this way.

This couldn't even be called a dojo; it was just a cave.

Shiji, who was following behind Jinling, also realized what was happening, and an embarrassed look immediately appeared on her face.

As a manifestation of Spirit Stone, Shiji naturally preferred quiet, and her relationship with her fellow disciples in the Jie Sect was only so-so.

The Daoist temple was located in this land of Nine Provinces, and no fellow Daoists had ever visited it.

Apart from the two boys, there was almost no one else around him.

If it were the place where her attendants lived, it would be fine, but Shiji's own dojo... that's how it is.

Shiji stared at the awkward scene before her, frozen in place, unsure of what to say.

"Shiji Sister Shiji, it's good that you're focused on cultivation, but as the facade of a cultivator's dojo, it would be better to make some improvements."

Jinling spoke earnestly to Shiji.

Real.

Jinling truly hadn't expected that her junior sister would live such a... impoverished life.

"Senior sister is right, junior sister will definitely pay attention in the future."

Shiji quickly bowed and agreed.

Seeing Shiji's appearance, Jinling sighed slightly; she could sense the tension in Shiji's heart.

But...

Jinling could understand.

After all, aside from their relationship as senior and junior sisters, she and Shiji had almost no interaction before.

"Shiji Sister Shiji, there's no need to be so nervous. I was just passing through Nine Provinces when I sensed your presence, so I came to visit you."

As Jinling spoke, she glanced at Shiji, a look of satisfaction appearing in her eyes, before continuing.

"However, I really didn't expect that Shiji Sister Shiji's cave abode would be located in this Human Race Nine Provinces."

"Junior Sister just wants some peace and quiet. In this Primordial World, besides Master's Daoist temple, the Nine Provinces of the Human Race are the most peaceful place for Shiji."

Shiji said respectfully.

"Yes! It's quiet..."

Jinling sighed softly, then looked at Shiji with a serious expression.

"Shiji Sister Shiji, please listen to what your senior sister has to say. If you only want a peaceful place to cultivate, it would be best if you left this Nine Provinces."

As Jinling spoke, a solemn expression appeared on her face.

"Next, this land of Nine Provinces... may become the most unclean place in this Primordial World!"
