The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 211 : Seventh Senior Brother's Tang Monk Physique

This... this is actually an egg?!!

The two looked at each other in shock, drawing in a sharp breath. No wonder the beast king was shouting to kill them—it turns out they had stolen its egg?!!

The crime of stealing a child is unforgivable.

This... they'd be lucky if they weren't ground to dust.

"Seventh Senior Brother, it seems we've made a mistake. A very big mistake."

Chu Sang's conscience, which she thought she didn't have, felt guilty. She gave Tantai Ming a guilty slap. The young man yelped and held his head, looking wronged, "Little Junior Sister, you can feel guilty on your own. Why hit me!"

"You didn't catch it just now, so the egg cracked."

"......"

Well, he had no retort.

Wasn't it enough that everything she said was right?

The young man's mouth drooped, looking dejected, "So what do we do now? It really cracked... We accidentally broke the beast king's egg. Even if we run back to the cultivation world, we'll probably still be hunted down."

The two looked worried and furtive, frantically thinking of ways to remedy the situation as they surrounded this egg with its barely noticeable small crack.

Chu Sang wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt the egg seemed to... move a little?

While Tantai Ming was wracking his brains but coming up empty and feeling dejected, his finger seemed to be bitten by something. Hiss, a small drop of blood appeared?

The young man's eyes widened in surprise, "Li... Little Junior Sister..." He was about to shout that he might be seeing ghosts, but Chu Sang quickly covered his mouth, "Don't speak, be careful not to scare the little thing."

She had naturally keenly noticed the change in the egg's aura in that instant.

They saw that drop of blood silently slide onto the egg. The previously motionless egg, which had shown no signs of life, suddenly emitted a golden light. The surrounding spiritual energy converged towards it.

"This egg... life has appeared in it?"

The two squatted on either side, cupping their faces as they watched, extremely surprised.

This egg had actually come to life?

Tantai Ming even reached out to gently touch it, carefully controlling his strength.

They couldn't have remembered wrong. At first, this egg was like a stone, lifeless, without even a trace of beast aura. That's why Chu Sang had mistaken it for just a pearl and didn't think it could be a beast egg at all.

But even for an egg, with such a weak aura, it could only mean it was a dead egg.

Yet unexpectedly, at this moment, this dead egg had regained signs of life? Which means... the little one inside had come back to life?!

Chu Sang suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in realization, "I can't believe I forgot such an important thing. Seventh Senior Brother, you have the Tang Monk's physique!"

"Huh?"

What's that?

Chu Sang hit her left palm with her right fist. The original work had mentioned many times that Tantai Ming had an Innate Spirit Body. This Innate Spirit Body was a good thing, comparable to the Tang Monk's flesh in the cultivation world. The blood of an Innate Spirit Body had miraculous effects. At that time, the Weeping Blood Sword, such a proud ancient evil weapon, had persistently pursued a stinky little Foundation Establishment kid precisely because it saw the potential of his Innate Spirit Body.

An Innate Spirit Body could naturally gather nearby spiritual energy, truly achieving high-efficiency spiritual energy conversion even while lying down. The blood had the ability to gather spiritual energy.

This made things make sense. At first, this egg was indeed a dead egg, or more precisely, a living dead egg just one step away from being completely dead.

Probably due to some mishap when the egg was born, it couldn't convert internal and external spiritual energy and couldn't hatch for a long time. If this continued, the egg would only have one path—death.

So when they first got the egg, they didn't sense any beast aura and mistakenly thought it was just an irregularly shaped golden pearl... But Tantai Ming's Innate Spirit Body blood could help the egg gather spiritual energy again for hatching!

It was truly a fortunate accident.

The surrounding spiritual energy almost formed a vortex, pouring into the egg.

But they didn't know what kind of creature this egg contained. How could so much spiritual energy not be enough for it? At this rate, it would still be difficult to hatch.

Chu Sang had a flash of inspiration and quickly took out the coffin from her storage bag.

Instantly, even more dense spiritual energy surged out. Tantai Ming also quickly put the egg into the coffin and closed the lid.

As time passed, a golden pattern appeared on the egg's surface. They finally discovered that there were actually patterns on the egg. It had been too dim before, so they could hardly see them. With the infusion of spiritual energy, the complex golden patterns slowly emerged, and that trace of death energy lingering on the egg finally disappeared.

Chu Sang thought for a moment and put the egg along with the coffin back into her space. Under the nourishment of abundant spiritual energy, the little one would probably come out before long.

When they returned it then, they might even be able to save their lives.

Not long after, their Senior Brothers and Sisters and disciples from other sects also arrived. The Metal Refining Sect disciples had narrowly escaped death and were full of gratitude towards them.

Chu Sang walked to the golden lion. After being hit by that energy, the lion had frozen and then slowly shrunk to the size of a palm-sized device.

Su Chen'an slapped his forehead and said, "In this case... I remember now, Little Junior Sister. This object is called the [Divine Gate Guardian]. It's said to be a special divine artifact forged with divine iron from the upper realm. Ten thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, it fell from the upper realm to the cultivation world. I didn't expect it to end up in the beast realm, in the hands of the Gold Beast King."

So it was a divine artifact from the upper realm. No wonder this thing was so troublesome.

Chu Sang thought about the descriptions of the upper realm in the original work.

The novel's ending was the female protagonist ascending to the upper realm with her harem and living happily ever after, but there weren't many specific descriptions of the upper realm. It was only briefly mentioned earlier that it was the ascension holy land that all cultivators in the Spirit Abyss Continent strived for throughout their lives. Even Su Chen'an and the others were full of expectations for the legendary mysterious upper realm, as if it were the embodiment of all that was good.

However, Chu Sang always felt something was strange. If the upper realm was truly as wonderful as people imagined, why didn't it offer help when the Spirit Abyss Continent was about to be destroyed ten thousand years ago? Instead, it closed off the ascension passage to the Spirit Abyss Continent, preventing any ascensions for ten thousand years.

Spiritual energy couldn't be generated in the lower realm. It only came from the upper realm when the ascension passage between the upper and lower realms opened.

By closing off the Spirit Abyss Continent's ascension passage, the upper realm had essentially abandoned this continent completely.

In tens of thousands of years, when the Spirit Abyss Continent completely lost its supply of spiritual energy, it would become a mortal realm without any cultivators.

The lower realm provided the upper realm with a constant supply of outstanding cultivators, offering fresh blood, while the upper realm protected the lower realm's operation. This was supposed to be mutually beneficial. But the upper realm unilaterally cut off the ascension passage with the Spirit Abyss Continent. No matter how one thought about it, this seemed strange... Chu Sang recalled that she had previously received information from the demon race that someone had angered the gods of the upper realm ten thousand years ago. But she couldn't find any records of this in any historical books later, as if it had been completely erased from the history of the cultivation world.

Now the upper realm had unexpectedly issued a Divine Decree. On the surface, it seemed they had lifted the "punishment" on the Spirit Abyss Continent, granting them supreme grace.

But in reality, this Divine Decree had sparked a scramble among various factions. The Beast Emperor and various beast kings were fighting fiercely over it.

And this was just within the beast realm where the news was contained. It hadn't even spread beyond the demon domain yet.

Once the news of the Divine Decree's descent reached the ears of other races, it was highly likely to evolve into a fierce battle, causing devastation among the three realms and four races. This didn't seem like a blessing at all, but rather... stirring up trouble.

Chu Sang frowned, not feeling particularly fond of this so-called upper realm. Her master seemed to be from ten thousand years ago, so she should know about that catastrophic battle from back then. Perhaps she would know what entanglement the Spirit Abyss Continent had with the upper realm ten thousand years ago, and how exactly they had angered the upper realm?

She would have to ask about it properly after returning to the sect.

Chu Sang lowered her eyes and withdrew her divine sense. She injected a strand of divine sense into the small stone sculpture. Such a powerful treasure had come into her hands; of course she had to try out its power. Would it be as incredibly cool and powerful as before? When the beast king rushed over later, could they beat it up as well?

But after injecting several strands of divine sense, the wooden sculpture showed no reaction at all.

"This is a divine artifact from the upper realm. To activate it, there should be cultivation restrictions. Maybe... at least Divine Transformation stage or above is needed? Only by injecting primordial spirit power can it be driven," Su Chen'an analyzed.

Only at the Divine Transformation stage could one cultivate primordial spirit power.

So that's how it was.

Chu Sang disappointedly put the item away. Well, it seemed she would have to wait until later to try it out.

Before the beast king arrived, they quickly left the place. Half a day later, they reached the Endless Desolate Region.

As far as the eye could see, there was endless yellow sand.

From time to time, desert mad scorpions that almost blended with the yellow sand would dart out.

At first, these scorpions weren't very strong. They could almost kill a swarm with one sword strike, a nest with one slash.

But as they went deeper, the temperature became increasingly dry, and the level of the beast demons also became higher and higher, from Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment to Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. Killing them became somewhat difficult. Until they killed a Divine Transformation early-stage desert mad scorpion, they finally encountered disciples from the Tianyan Sect.

They were entangled in battle with a group of Divine Transformation early-stage desert mad scorpions.

These beast demons had extremely strong concealment abilities and could bury their bodies in the soft yellow sand, catching people off guard.

Many lower-level disciples encountered ambushes and were accidentally injured. Although disciples from the Pill Condensation Sect were there to heal them, the situation wasn't very good.

"Why did you come here?" Mo Qingchen's eyes showed a trace of surprise. The tip of his sword raised, casually piercing through a Divine Transformation stage desert mad scorpion. He led the remaining disciples to join them.

"We've already cleared several places, yet you're still stuck here? The number one sect in the cultivation world truly lives up to its name! Don't tell me that by the time we go to see the Beast Emperor, you'll still be hanging around in this broken place?" Tantai Ming's eyes curved, his words dripping with sarcasm.

Lou Qing's mouth twitched. He didn't want to respond to this young man who looked quite normal but somehow spoke in such an annoying and slick manner. Who had he learned this from?

"These beast demons are more troublesome than you imagine. After killing them, they turn into yellow sand, but before long, they gather again into desert mad scorpions," a disciple said with unstable breath, struggling, "Moreover, the higher the level of the desert mad scorpion, the faster they gather. The Divine Transformation stage desert mad scorpions almost reassemble the next second after we've just killed them. We simply can't kill them all!"

This situation was similar to what they encountered last time at the Desolate Cave.

So! Now they knew how difficult it had been for their Tianyan Sect all along!!! Not showing any sympathy for them, but instead mocking them, these people really were...

"Ah, why not just set up a formation to block them?" As the girl spoke, she casually waved out several formations, layering a concealment formation with a defense formation.

The inner concealment formation covered the auras of everyone inside, while the outer defense formation could resist the invasion of these desolate mad scorpions.

The previously bloodthirsty yellow sand scorpions suddenly seemed unable to see them. They wandered around for a few steps, then walked away from in front of them...

Walked... away?

The Tianyan Sect disciples were stunned. Was this formation so effective? Damn, why hadn't they thought of this!

Rather than fighting a bloody battle for days without end, why not set up a formation and hide inside... Well, the minds of sword cultivators were too single-tracked. Apart from killing to stop killing, they couldn't think of any other good methods. Even if someone had thought of it, there was no one in their team who could use formations.

No matter how frustrated the Tianyan Sect disciples felt, they couldn't say a word at this moment.

They quickly took advantage of this hard-won time to swallow pills, sit in meditation to rest, and recover and regulate their internal spiritual energy.

But then they saw several people from the Lingqing Sect rush out.

?

Had they gone mad? What were they doing now??

They finally didn't have to fight anymore, why did they go out again?!

Tantai Ming had long been trained askew by his Little Junior Sister. Usually looking like a sunny, silly husky, he was actually an uncompromising battle maniac. At the mention of fighting, he became extremely excited. So many high-level beast demons outside—dangerous? No! These were free punching bags for practice!

The others from Lingqing Sect thought the same, including Wen Renyue and Si Kou Qiu. These two could previously be listed as Lingqing Sect's two biggest slackers, always lagging behind other senior and junior brothers and sisters in cultivation progress.

Later, after Si Kou Qiu obtained the Chaos Spirit Root and retreated for cultivation for a period, her cultivation level could be considered a heaven-defying genius compared to disciples of the same age from other sects in the cultivation world. But compared to the freaks from Lingqing Sect who had made tremendous progress in a short time, she was still a few steps behind.

During this adventure, she became more aware of her insufficient strength and tendency to hold others back. Without a second word, she followed the others to hunt mad scorpions, charging to the very front!

Even Chengying couldn't help but sigh that his young lady had indeed changed, becoming more mature and resolute. In the past, she had been pampered in every way since childhood, never letting herself suffer even a bit. Even when cultivating, she would just find a place to retreat and throw a bunch of spirit stones and pills at herself. But she would never actively go to the battlefield to hunt beast demons... Yet now, even though her ceremonial robe had been torn in several places by the sharp pincers of the sand scorpions, leaving bloody marks, she didn't even frown. It was truly eye-opening!

The young lady had finally understood that battle experience could make one's cultivation far more solid and powerful than spirit stones and pills.

Chengying felt gratified in his heart. He would have to go back and report this good news to the master. He also bought some high-grade pills from the Pill Condensation Sect, for the young lady and her Senior Brothers and Sisters to recover after they returned.
