I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 639: Chapter 586: Siblings

Bai Jiuyou remained in a coma, and Jiang Yuebai meticulously examined her entire body but found no signs of injury.

At the center of her Sea of Consciousness, the primordial spirit with the Ice Armor Beetle King Jade Dust as its core was also intact.

However, Jiang Yuebai saw clearly that Bai Jiuyou’s eyes were bleeding, and the mark flashing across her forehead was all because of the final burst of golden light from the Candle Dragon’s Essence Blood.

Although it was just a drop of essence blood, it contained the spirituality of the Candle Dragon. If set free into the world, the essence blood could attach to spiritual objects and slowly nurture spiritual sense.

Jiang Yuebai put all spiritual beasts and treasures back into the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, letting Tree Dragon Hongye watch over Bai Jiuyou.

The specifics of what happened now could only be known once Bai Jiuyou woke up.

Despite the heartbreak over the repeated ’destruction’ of the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, Jiang Yuebai was also grateful.

Grateful that she possessed a Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, for it trapped the Candle Dragon’s spirit and allowed her to absorb it smoothly. If it were outside, the spirit might have fled or alarmed other powers, causing her great losses.

”It seems the reinforcement of the Five Elements Lotus Platform is urgent, and the tempering of the White Dragon Spear must not take place here.”

Jiang Yuebai prepared to conclude matters here and seek Master Zhuge’s help upon returning to find Wuwei Mountain Man.

Wuwei Mountain Man loved to roam the earth, and the Upper Realm was boundless; finding him might take years or even decades.

As Bai Jiuyou lay in slumber, Jiang Yuebai tidied up the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven with the spiritual beasts. Seeing the fatigue on the creatures’ faces, Jiang Yuebai felt helpless.

Perhaps it was better to sell them to suitable people, leaving behind only Hongye, the Jixiang Family, Lieque, Little Green, and the Black Armor Bee Swarm, as well as the Little Demon who helped with chores.

For the rest, finding them good masters might prevent them from being inadvertently harmed next time and save them from unexpected dangers due to her.

After tidying up, Jiang Yuebai checked outside; Yann Hongyu had yet to return, and the Heavenly Star Sect and Fake Chenzhou showed no signs of movement, so she continued her retreat.

The Candle Dragon Essence Blood had been smoothly absorbed into her body, consuming all the Chaos Qi within the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven in the process.

Next, she needed to gradually digest and transform it into her own power.

”Dragon God Transformation” seemed to have reached the Fourth Layer; Jiang Yuebai wasn’t entirely certain, as her body showed no special changes. However, she noticed the spiritual beasts within the cave were now extraordinarily afraid of her.

A suppressive aura emanated from her over all creatures, likely stemming from the dragon might of the Candle Dragon.

The dragon might of a Winged Dragon could make all serpentine creatures submit with fear, while the Candle Dragon’s was even stronger, capable of making all beasts retreat three paces.

Perhaps now she could slightly intimidate and suppress the Fire Qilin she encountered last time with Candle Dragon’s might, rather than being utterly powerless against it.

Moreover, she could now mobilize the Dragon Qi within her spine to manifest the Dragon God Dharma.

But according to the cultivation technique, the essence blood she absorbed should manifest as the Candle Dragon Dharma, yet she could freely incarnate various dragon dharma, even piece them together as she wished.

This was certainly related to refining the fragments of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon and absorbing various dragon blood and souls during Nirvana; the dharma brought her roughly thirty percent of Dragon Clan power, varying with the manifested dragon dharma.

For instance, Rain Dragon could summon rain; Fire Dragon could wield fiery flames; Poison Dragon could spew poisonous miasma, and so on, requiring diligent practice.

The dharma would become increasingly solid with the progression of ”Dragon God Transformation,” until at the Ninth Layer, it would truly become a Dragon God, possessing a physique and power comparable to the Dragon Clan, easily wielding dragon divine skills.

”What on earth is that gray-white giant python?”

Jiang Yuebai reclined under Bai Jiuyou’s bed, sketching the appearance of the gray-white giant python.

With no prior leads, she finally saw what it truly looked like, hoping to find clues in ancient texts.

Day by day, Jiang Yuebai refined the essence blood power while Bai Jiuyou slept day after day.

After more than a month, Bai Jiuyou finally woke up, exclaiming in pain.

”My head, it’s going to explode!”

Bai Jiuyou held her head as she sat up in bed, and Jiang Yuebai immediately placed pillows behind her for support.

”How do you feel?”

Bai Jiuyou took a deep breath, furrowing her brow and shaking her head, ”No big deal, I had a long dream. I probably know Candle Jiuyou and that man’s background; they are siblings.”

Jiang Yuebai was taken aback; she initially thought the being behind Qii Siheng was actually Candle Jiuyou’s father.

”Take your time, there’s no rush.”

Bai Jiuyou took the tea Jiang Yuebai handed and sipped to soothe her throat.

”That man and Candle Jiuyou were both nurtured by the Candle Dragon in Chaos. It’s somewhat like the Two Principles Holy Beast Taiyin Youying and Sun Candlelight born in Chaos; they might be the first Heavenly Witch Clan on earth.”

”I’m not particularly clear on specifics; the dream was fragmented. I only know the man is named ’Weii,’ naturally malevolent. Though Candle Jiuyou was revered by the Zhangwei Mountain People as Witch Ancestor, the real Witch Ancestor is Weii, controlling the entire Heavenly Witch Clan from behind.”

”Remember, they both emerged from the Earth Spiritual Realm, back when it hadn’t split from the Heavenly Spirit Realm yet; later they settled in the Green Dragon Realm. The Heavenly Calamity of Earth Spiritual Realm and Heavenly Spirit Realm might have been instigated by Weii behind the scenes.”

Bai Jiuyou rubbed her temples, feeling a bit confused.

”In fact, Candle Jiuyou once joined forces with her loyal clansmen to kill Weii, but mysteriously, Weii was resurrected; perhaps not even dead but rather suppressed elsewhere with a large portion of his power.”

”Overall, he didn’t seek vengeance against Candle Jiuyou, later sealing her beneath the Nine Dragon Ruins, because only Candle Jiuyou could find the real Zhangwei Mountain and locate the Land of the Sleeping Candle Dragon. Last time he woke from Qii Siheng’s body without taking Candle Jiuyou, likely for this reason.”

Bai Jiuyou groaned, and Jiang Yuebai quickly said, ”Alright, let’s not discuss this. As long as he doesn’t come knocking to capture you, we’ll be fine.”

Bai Jiuyou shook her head in pain, ”No, I’ve already opened the Land of the Sleeping Candle Dragon. If he can sense it, he might come for me at any time.”

Jiang Yuebai’s heart skipped a beat, ”Is it the mark on your forehead?”

Bai Jiuyou nodded, ”If Weii devours the Candle Dragon and takes its place, he could break through Chaos and find the world’s only Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit, replacing the Heavenly Dao.”

”Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit...”

Jiang Yuebai furrowed her brows as well, what a coincidence?

The Ancestor of Heavenly Interence Sect, Lu Xingyun, also seemed intent on certifying the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit.

In the world, there are myriad Dao Fruits, any law can condense into a Dao Fruit, yet only the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit is the cornerstone of heaven and earth, the sole existence; it is the Heavenly Dao itself.

”Can you open the Land of the Sleeping Candle Dragon now? Does the Candle Dragon still exist in the world?” Jiang Yuebai asked.

Bai Jiuyou took a deep breath, ”I don’t know, but I can sense if I open the Land of the Sleeping Candle Dragon recklessly, the mark on my forehead will take my life. The mark was left by one who killed Candle Jiuyou; now it seems that person was protecting Candle Jiuyou, protecting the Land of the Sleeping Candle Dragon.”

Jiang Yuebai’s mind was also a muddled mess; she calmed down to summarize.

Weii and Candle Jiuyou are siblings; the Candle Dragon might be a doting parent preferring Candle Jiuyou, leaving its assets to her before sleep, encrypting them, and banishing the problematic son.

Then the inherently bad brother refuses to concede, seeking to seize the assets and slay the Candle Dragon, acting as both father and mother. However, his sister Candle Jiuyou won’t tell him the password, forcing him to wait for an opportunity.

Meanwhile, a third party emerges and kills Candle Jiuyou, thoroughly sealing the Candle Dragon’s assets.

Who could this person be?

Could it possibly be Lu Xingyun?

If they’re all after the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit, then it’s quite probable.

”Given we can’t open it now, that’s better. We can only take it step by step; we shouldn’t terrify ourselves into perpetual dread despite the looming threat.”

Bai Jiuyou nodded, ”I know. After a few days of meditation, I’ll help you open the Nine Netherworld Gate. We must swiftly amass strength and prepare our cards, be it near-term dangers or distant threats, to get ready in advance.”

Jiang Yuebai could sense Bai Jiuyou’s continued fear and urgency, mirroring her own emotions.

Thus, she was indeed Bai Jiuyou, not Candle Jiuyou!
