I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 583: Chapter 531: Clearing the Battlefield

After the great battle ended, Zhao Fuyi immediately ran around Songfeng City, repairing the City Defense Great Array.

Yinn Shuwei, despite her injuries, first secured the remaining Nascent Soul of True Monarch Wenn Su. As long as the Nascent Soul was intact, heavenly materials and earthly treasures could be sought to rebuild the body later.

At this moment, there were fewer than three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators and seven or eight Golden Core Cultivators left in the city.

Aside from those too severely injured to move, the rest were sent outside the city to clean up the battlefield.

The blood-stained ground was devastated, littered with corpses and shattered demon cores that emitted a foul-smelling blood mist.

The demon cores of those with low cultivation were soft and wriggled on the ground like worms. As cultivation increased, the demon cores became harder, like crystals, and increasingly difficult to destroy.

Demon cores had no use for Righteous Dao Cultivators, but there were always people on various black markets who would buy them at high prices to supply Demon Dao Cultivators.

Two Foundation Establishment Cultivators found a fist-sized, relatively intact crystal demon core in a crack in the ground. It was clearly a demon core from a Golden Core Stage Blood Demon, and their eyes shone as they reached out to take it.

Squeak! Squeak!

A sharp sound suddenly rang in their ears, causing extreme pain in their Seas of Consciousness. When they raised their eyes, they saw a Spiritual Rat with blood-stained white fur and a storage bag on its back appear on the opposite side of the crack.

It raised its upper body, its gaze fierce, and with its little paws glowing with golden light, it lashed out at the two men viciously.

Three golden light marks fiercely cut beneath the two men’s feet, and the hard ground was immediately smashed to pieces like tofu. The sharp aura made the legs of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators tremble.

Squeak!

The Jixiang Evil Rat roared, its mouth wide open, generating a swirling airflow that created a gust of wind, forcefully sucking in all the demon core fragments and magic treasure fragments around it.

The Jixiang chewed viciously a couple of times and swallowed, full of menace.

It even devoured the Blood Demon’s corpse, which still had traces of blood, clean until nothing was left.

Its cheeks bulged, hiding some things to bring back for the Flower-Furred Rats and the young ones.

The Jixiang didn’t dare touch the intact demon core under the crack; it hugged it with its two paws, sniffed it with its nose twice, and then placed it into its storage bag behind it.

As the Jixiang went elsewhere to search, the two pale-faced Foundation Establishment Cultivators swallowed with difficulty, finally making a sound.

”Na... Nascent Soul Stage Spiritual Rat?!”

”Whose spiritual pet is this? So fierce!”

Not far away on the hillside, Jiang Yuebai was bending over, vomiting.

”This Blood Demon’s Demonic Qi is so disgusting, ugh~~”

Bai Jiuyou said, drooping his eyelids, ”Of course, demons are born of the muddy Qi of heaven and earth. Can dirty stuff not be disgusting? You should know your limits when eating. If the strength and quantity of what you swallow exceed the limit your current cultivation can bear, you won’t even get to digest it before... boom!”

Bai Jiuyou spread his hands apart, mimicking an explosion.

Jiang Yuebai pressed against her nausea-stricken chest, ”I know, I know, the lesson of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron is something I remember... ugh...”

”Stop throwing up, you look like you’re pregnant! Keep your Fairy image in mind!”

Jiang Yuebai: ......

Jiang Yuebai forcibly swallowed down the nausea and frowned, ”Although the Demonic Qi is disgusting, after I swallowed it, I suddenly felt the Chaos Qi within me increased a bit. It feels just like... just like when you’re eating and need to balance rice, meat, and vegetables for a nutritional balance.”

Previously, she only devoured things with Spiritual Energy, indeed feeling like she was being picky. No matter how much she swallowed, the Chaos Qi within her did not budge an inch.

Now, after swallowing just a little bit of the Demonic Qi from a Divinity Transformation Stage Blood Demon, a thread of Chaos Qi was immediately generated in her spinal cord.

Does it mean she cannot be picky in the future, and has to eat a little of everything to grow better and faster?

”Then eat slowly. Send me back. I haven’t let Little Thunder Hound eat lightning today. Ten more days like this and Little Thunder Hound can Condense its Core. Also, those other nests of Spiritual Insects have run out of food. Find them some, or buy materials so I can refine a Spirit Feeding Elixir for them myself.”

”Got it.”

Taking advantage that no one was watching, Jiang Yuebai returned Bai Jiuyou, Hongye, and the Dragon Armor Puppet Soldiers back into the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven.

”You always know how to ask for things, yet you have no idea how hard it is to earn them!”

Jiang Yuebai tidied her clothes, adjusted the hairpin on her head, and in a flash appeared above the battlefield outside the city. In a caring tone, she addressed the people cleaning the battlefield below,

”In today’s great battle, Wangshu admires your bravery for holding Songfeng City without retreat and exalting the might of our Human Clan. Wangshu feels it pales in comparison. I shall take care of cleaning the battlefield; all of you should rest and heal. Should the Blood Demon return, Wangshu will surely join forces with all of you again, to let the Demon Clan witness the might of our Human Clan!”

Jiang Yuebai bowed with cupped hands, then sent out three streams of Divine Thought, raising a gentle breeze that swept all the ’rubbish’ on the battlefield into the air and into three storage bags.

Jixiang, holding a slightly damaged demon core, had no time to take a bite before being swept into the air.

Squeak! Squeak!

This is bad!

It’s mine! It’s mine!

The crowd looked up in awe at Jiang Yuebai, clad in white like a celestial being. Before they fully reacted, the battlefield was already clear of everything, clean as if it had been sifted through a sieve.

The crowd: ......

With a righteous aura, Jiang Yuebai stored away the three storage bags and summoned the vitality of heaven and earth, bringing forth rain clouds.

The Spiritual Rain began to drizzle, weaving into a continuous curtain that fell on the Cultivators scattered throughout the battlefield, washing away their exhaustion and bloodstains, rejuvenating their bodies.

On the ground, the dirty red was gradually cleansed by the Spiritual Rain. Fresh green grass burst forth from the soil, growing visibly before the eye.

In just a few breaths, the devastated, ashen ground was covered over with green. The grass swayed like a sea, fragrant and pleasant, adding a touch of life to the ruined Songfeng City.

Jiang Yuebai’s white hair danced in the wind, a faint smile on her lips. The rain formed a mist around her, dreamlike, astonishing the Cultivators.

She nodded slightly, transforming into a breeze, and blew into the city.

”True Monarch Wangshu... truly is celestial!”

”Does the Heavenly Influence Sect accept new members? I want to join the Heavenly Influence Sect.”

”You fools, wake up, haven’t you noticed she took all the spoils?!!”

”Scram, scram, she kindly helped us clean the battlefield out of concern, and you accuse her of petty intentions!”

”Indeed, indeed, no sense of romance! Besides, the Blood Demon was driven away by her, so the spoils rightfully belong to her!”

”......”

Jiang Yuebai was unaware of the ’argument’ she sparked outside the city; she hastened to Zhao Fuyi’s side.

”Uncle Fuyi, do you need my help with anything?”

Zhao Fuyi did not stand on ceremony, handing her a storage bag directly.

”Inside are the Array Maps and Arraying Materials needing repair, seven spots in total. Leave these four to me, and you go repair the other three.”

”Understood!”

Jiang Yuebai chuckled and turned to get to work.

Yinn Shuwei sat nearby, healing, and couldn’t help asking Zhao Fuyi, ”The City Defense Great Array requires a Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s power for repairs; she’s only Early-Stage Nascent Soul. Isn’t this asking too much?”

Zhao Fuyi knew Yinn Shuwei was worried the Great Array wouldn’t be repaired correctly, and should the Blood Demon army return, it would cause heavy casualties again, so he didn’t mind.

Zhao Fuyi glanced at Jiang Yuebai already repairing the array in the corner of the city, smiling uncontrollably.

”She, at the time she just reached Foundation Establishment, rescued me from the Ghost Clan and held up the Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array alone. Such a minor task wouldn’t trouble her.”

Yinn Shuwei, following Zhao Fuyi’s gaze, saw Jiang Yuebai’s competence. The damaged Great Array Barrier was swiftly restored without a hitch.

Recalling Jiang Yuebai previously alone against a thousand, striking down a Demon General with one spear, she couldn’t help but nod.

”With such outstanding successors, your Heavenly Influence Sect is bound to prosper, truly enviable.”

Zhao Fuyi smiled without speaking, but his pride was unconcealed.
