I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 118: Chapter 100: Heaven and Earth Qiankun Mirror

Beside Sect Master Wenn Ci stood a broad-shouldered, burly middle-aged man with a wide sword strapped to his back, as stable as a mountain.

This man was Sword Monarch Shi Zhongshan, leading the team from the Guiyuan Sword Sect, followed by three Golden Core Masters, all of whom were sword cultivators.

Jiang Yuebai scanned the room. Among the dozens of attendees from the Heavenly Interence Sect were Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Golden Core Masters, and Foundation Establishment Uncles.

However, since it was only the first day of the Qi Cultivation Disciples’ small competition, it wasn’t grand, and not everyone was present.

Jiang Yuebai saw True Monarch Fuyi chatting with Sect Master Wenn Ci, and Gongsun Zhu greeting the Golden Core Masters from the Guiyuan Sword Sect.

Hong Tao, as Gongsun Zhu’s capable subordinate, was leading the five Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators aside, with famous direct disciples like Yuu Qiuqi, Fang Yuxing, and Tang Weimian waiting nearby.

Some Qi Cultivation Disciples who hadn’t yet reached the required level and couldn’t participate in the small competition gathered outside the square, buzzing with excitement.

Wenn Ci had no intention of speaking, and the group grandly proceeded to the Observation Corridor to sit and drink tea.

Jiang Yuebai didn’t see Lii Jiuchuan, feeling a bit lost, unsure of what she was hoping for or disappointed about.

Taking a breath, Jiang Yuebai’s gaze fell on True Monarch Fuyi, subconsciously touching her belt, inside which were many array plates she had prepared.

Wenn Miao sat cross-legged on the back of the White-Tailed Phoenix Lord, took a swig of wine, and wiped her mouth with a sleeve.

”Silence!”

The place fell silent, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through leaves.

”Today’s Qi Cultivation Disciples’ small competition doesn’t have many rules. The Guiyuan Sword Sect has always been friendly with our sect. Participating together with you today is a delight. You little rascals better show proper hospitality, and take good care of the Guiyuan Sword Sect’s disciples.”

As the words fell, the disciples from the Heavenly Interence Sect were eager to show their skills, while those from the Guiyuan Sword Sect looked on with proud provocation, the air tense as if swords were drawn.

Shi Zhongshan laughed heartily, ”True Venerable Luyi is truly a person of character.”

Luyi, a refined name for wine, was Wenn Miao’s Daoist name.

Wenn Ci chuckled wryly, ”She’s always so carefree and easygoing, letting True Monarch Zhong Shan see a joke.”

”Why isn’t Sword Lord Guanhan here? I was hoping to spar with him on this visit,” Shi Zhongshan asked.

With a calm expression, Wenn Ci tidied his robes, and True Monarch Fuyi impassively said, ”He and Cang Huo are at Heavenly Gang Peak studying the Ninety-Nine Linked Array I set up.”

For five years, those two still refused to yield or compromise with each other to break the array, preferring to remain trapped within.

Shi Zhongshan became interested, ”In today’s Cultivation Realm, perhaps only True Monarch Fuyi can set up a Ninety-Nine Linked Array. I wonder if I might also enter to experience it.”

True Monarch Fuyi’s expression was proud, ”Please go ahead.”

Shi Zhongshan was about to go, but Wenn Ci hurriedly intervened, ”Sword Monarch Zhong Shan, hold on. The array isn’t going anywhere. Let’s wait until after the small competition.”

Shi Zhongshan slapped his forehead, ”Right, right, I need to hold the ground here. I’ll go afterward, afterward.”

High in the sky, Wenn Miao, unwilling to say more, waved her large sleeve, causing ripples on the square ground that spread outward in waves.

”Look at your feet!”

On the square, Jiang Yuebai heard the sound and looked down, seeing the water’s ripples gradually calming.

The white jade stones transformed into a mirror, reflecting her figure, while the surrounding blurry scenery gradually became clear.

A gentle breeze blew through, sweeping her hair past her eyes. The scent of osmanthus suddenly invaded her nostrils, giving Jiang Yuebai a start, knowing there were no osmanthus trees around Heavenly Chief Peak.

She looked up, her body shaking.

Water surrounded the green mountains; mountains floated on the green water, water floated on the mountains.

She stood beneath an osmanthus tree, surrounded by misty clouds.

Nearby, the river babbled, a boat gliding on its surface; in the distance, a vast sea of green mountains, with geese flying together.

Jiang Yuebai searched high and low, finding no sign of her companions who had been beside her, then checked herself, finding her vestment robe, jade pendant at her waist, and everything else she owned still with her.

Wenn Miao’s voice echoed from the bright blue sky above.

”This is the Mirror World within the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Mirror. Apart from being unable to fly through the sky, the rules for this small competition are that there are no rules. Over seven days, head to the center of this world, where there is a Flat Peak Mountain. Guard it until the last day ends, and you’ll be the victor. Remember, only one person will be the victor.”

”As for the others, they will be ranked by the number of other disciples they kill. If the number is the same, then it’s determined by the length of survival. Everyone, feel free to go all out, without any reservations. One more reminder: apart from disciples of the two sects, there are countless demons, ghosts, evil puppets, and killing and illusion arrays. Good luck to you all.”

The voice faded, and a beam of light shot straight from the mountain ranges into the clouds, marking the location of Flat Peak Mountain.

Jiang Yuebai took out the jade given by Lu Nanzhi and held it in her hand, but it showed no reaction, indicating that the three of them were not within a hundred miles of her.

Placing the jade in her bosom, Jiang Yuebai walked toward the misty forest in the east.

This world was vast, and merely traveling to the center in seven days was tight, not to mention the other disciples watching like hawks, as well as the presence of arrays and beasts.

”If I were to use this huge Pocket Small World for farming, how prosperous I would be,” Jiang Yuebai sighed.

”Wooden Jiang, you’re here too.”

Just sensing someone’s aura, Jiang Yuebai saw the plump Qii Dabao arriving on the wind with a male cultivator with Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

Qii Dabao surveyed the surroundings, ”Looks like you’re out of luck, not with Lu Nanzhi and the others to hold onto their legs. Tell me, you’re a farmer; instead of farming, why participate in this small competition? Are you planning to kill with farming spells?”

Beside them, Xue Bei chuckled along.

In Jiang Yuebai’s eyes, hidden killing intent was just about to move, when once again there was a stir in the forest.

The three raised their heads; before they could see clearly who it was, two streaks of sword aura came rushing at their faces.

”Damn it!!”

Qii Dabao’s eyes widened in rage. With a swift stride, he rushed in front of Jiang Yuebai, summoning a bronze shield to meet the attack.

Clang!

The reverberation echoed, and Qii Dabao staggered backward, nearly falling, but was caught by Jiang Yuebai with one hand behind his waist.

The newcomers were two sword cultivators from Guiyuan Sword Sect, both at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, unleashing lethal moves without hesitation the moment they appeared.

”Deal with outsiders not insiders, let’s handle them first!” Xue Bei summoned his magic sword to engage.

Qii Dabao glanced at Jiang Yuebai, grumbling, ”Stand aside for now, we’ll deal with you after we’ve taken care of these two sword cultivators.”

Jiang Yuebai raised an eyebrow, watching as two male sword cultivators in their early twenties burst out from the forest, their whole bodies exuding a killing sword aura, directing their swords to engage in battle with Qii Dabao and Xue Bei.

Bang bang bang!

Magic swords and artifacts clashed in midair, sparks flying, shockwaves reverberating.

Clearly outmatched, Qii Dabao and Xue Bei were forced back step by step.

Bam!

Within just a dozen moves, Qii Dabao’s shield shattered, and he fell to the ground vomiting blood, while Xue Bei was heavily struck and sent flying.

”Sword Shadow Splitting Light!”

The two sword cultivators synchronously shouted, forming seals with their fingers, sending two magic swords shooting out like lightning, splitting into two then four, instantly transforming into hundreds of sword shadows, overwhelming and unstoppable.

Qii Dabao and Xue Bei stared in horror, unable to mount a defense.

Clang!

A golden streak shot through the air, a young girl’s figure appeared in front of them, black hair flying, her clothes fluttering.

Casually, with a single hand, she flung out a tiny Metal Sharpness-like golden needle.

The small sharpness instantly became a rain, like a reversed galaxy, each needle precisely shattering a sword shadow.

The sword shadows dissipated, the golden needles remained, unleashing a series of swift, electric flow, raining down on the opposing sword cultivators.

”Well done!”

Qii Dabao shouted with blood in his mouth, while Xue Bei looked on with eyes full of admiration.

The two sword cultivators turned pale and attempted to flee, but Jiang Yuebai was prepared, forming a seal with one hand and pressing down.

Earth-Shaking Technique!

Boom!

The earth rocked and mountains shook, the two sword cultivators had no time to react, caught by the incessant, binding shock force, causing blood and spiritual power to surge and scatter, within moments half their bodies were buried.

The sharpness rain arrived, pinning the two sword cultivators like porcupines, the electrical sparks crackling as they coughed blood, unable to withstand it.

At this moment, a white light flashed across their bodies, and they vanished before Jiang Yuebai’s eyes.

Jiang Yuebai’s sealing hand paused, blinking and glancing around.

So, getting injured but not lethal, leads to being taken away when it’s deadly, counting as a loss?

Understanding the principle, Jiang Yuebai flexed her wrist and turned around, seeing the amazed eyes of Qii Dabao and Xue Bei.

”Sharpness Technique and Earth-Shaking Technique, who said farming spells can’t kill?” Jiang Yuebai chuckled.

Qii Dabao swallowed hard, ”Five-Layer Magical Technique, terrifying indeed!”

Xue Bei tremulously asked, ”You, you, did you just form a seal with one hand? Did I see that right?”

Jiang Yuebai raised an eyebrow, prompting Qii Dabao and Xue Bei to immediately turn over and kneel.

”Senior Sister Jiang, we were blind before and didn’t recognize Mount Tai, but now that we’re going deep into central lands, could you take us along to assist?”

”Exactly, with us following you, we could definitely defeat those trash sword cultivators, making Heavenly Interence Sect proud.”

They pleaded earnestly, when behind them came the sound of branches being stepped on and breaking.

”Who are you planning to defeat?”

Like the chilling spring of a snowy mountain, the voice was murderous; Jiang Yuebai turned, Qii Dabao cried out in shock.

”Zhuo... Zhuo Qingfeng!”
