Chapter 75 : Demonic Training
Tantai Ming suddenly remembered something and hit his left palm with his right fist in realization. "Wait a minute, didn't they say earlier that the ghost city had a cultivation restriction, that cultivators above the Nascent Soul realm couldn't enter? So how was Big Senior Sister able to go in?"
"Cultivation restriction?" Big Senior Sister shook her head, indicating she was unaware. "I followed a group of ghost cultivators to that ghost city some time ago. That restriction seems to have been their doing. They also released the news about the ghost city. Within a few days, cultivators from the outside world began arriving one after another."
What happened afterward was as they knew.
Wen Renyue said, "Strange, how come we didn't see that group of ghost cultivators?"
Wu Wo replied calmly, "Killed them."
That group of ghost cultivators didn't seem like good people, so she directly sent them to meet their ancestors.
Chu Sang couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Big Senior Sister's actions were too cool!
"What exactly is going on? So that ghost city was actually released by this group of ghost cultivators. But why did they deliberately lure us cultivators from the outside world in? What were they trying to do?" Wen Renyue scratched his head.
"I know why," Chu Sang said confidently as everyone's gazes turned to her. "The scheming frog has been touching your belly all along."
"Huh?" Tantai Ming punched her lightly. "Little Junior Sister, have you gone crazy? You're starting to talk nonsense."
Chu Sang rubbed her head and moved away from this violent brute, holding up one finger in a signature gesture. "There is only one truth!"
Actually, the ins and outs of the matter were quite easy to guess. She had previously observed the layout of the ghost city on the scroll map, which was clearly a large-scale corpse-raising field.
Those ghost corpses and Ghost Kings were the "corpses" prepared by the ghost cultivators, and the "feed" used to raise the "corpses" was naturally the group of cultivators who had delivered themselves to their doorstep.
As for what kind of "feed" would be the most suitable and best?
Naturally, it would be a group of cultivators with abundant spiritual energy, but not very strong and easy to control. That's why the ghost city had a cultivation restriction below the Nascent Soul realm.
This was clearly a trap set by the ghost realm for the cultivation world.
If she hadn't guessed wrong, the group of ghost cultivators killed by Big Senior Sister were also from the Ghost Xuan Sect.
It seems the Ghost Xuan Sect had divided their forces for this operation.
One group was in the ghost city, prepared to ambush cultivators and nurture Ghost Kings.
The other group went outside to lure Second Senior Brother Ling Yu to the ghost city and awaken his second personality.
But unexpectedly, due to a twist of fate, their plans were completely disrupted by the two teams from their sect. All their efforts were in vain, and neither plan succeeded.
"Why did they want to lure Second Senior Brother away?" Wen Renyue asked.
Chu Sang probed, "Maybe... they thought Second Senior Brother was handsome and wanted to take him back as a trophy husband?"
"The ghost realm is really a bunch of perverts," Mu Chihuai sincerely commented.
Changsheng chimed in sweetly, "Perverts!"
Ling Yu happened to walk over and heard their conversation. "......" Don't be too absurd.
"By the way, where is that person? Why hasn't he appeared?" Big Senior Sister scanned the group of innocent and adorable junior brothers and sisters before her, sighed, and couldn't bear to hit any of them.
But her hands were itching.
Mu Chihuai, understanding her intent, said, "Big Senior Sister, after you went into seclusion, Big Senior Brother also went into seclusion a few days later. He hasn't come out yet."
"Then forget it, I'm leaving."
Less than half an hour after returning to the sect, Big Senior Sister was planning to slip away.
She really... really wanted to fight someone.
Those useless people from nearby sects couldn't put up a fight, and they had been beaten so much in recent years that they hid as soon as they saw her. She had to go further away to find opponents. The personal disciples of this generation from the Eight Great Sects seemed to have decent strength. She'd go and cut down a couple for fun.
"This is bad, Big Senior Sister is leaving again. Quickly stop her, don't let her go out and wreak havoc on other sects!" Wen Renyue wore a mask of pain. "Our sect is already too poor to afford compensation."
"Big Senior Sister, don't leave yet. You don't know, but Little Junior Sister is a sword cultivator! And she's an extremely talented sword cultivator! Our sect has never had an elder to teach her. Why don't you stay and teach Little Junior Sister?" Tantai Ming had a sudden inspiration and pushed Chu Sang forward without hesitation.
"You're a sword cultivator?" As expected, Big Senior Sister became interested. She looked Chu Sang over, her eyes showing a smile, and said "good" twice.
"......" Chu Sang felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet.
The happier Big Senior Sister smiled, the more chilled to the core she felt.
Chu Sang soon learned where this ominous feeling came from.
Big Senior Sister's training motto was a brief sentence—survive under her sword.
For the next two months, Chu Sang was brutalized terribly. She had sparred with others before, but this was the first time she had been beaten up by one sword, two swords, three swords, four swords... ten swords all at once.
Big Senior Sister didn't even use her Nascent Soul realm power. She merely released ten swords that began to slash at her back and forth. The sword energy was fierce and domineering, showing full killing intent. She didn't show any mercy even to her little junior sister, striking harder each time.
Every night when Chu Sang returned, she was either missing an arm or had a broken leg.
For the first month, she basically survived only thanks to Mu Chihuai's rejuvenation pills.
In the second month, Chu Sang could barely dodge ten flying swords simultaneously. After several brushes with death, her potential was pushed to the maximum, and her dodging speed became faster and faster.
She couldn't say how much her sword techniques had improved, but her escape speed was definitely first-class!
Combined with her Speed Talisman version 2.1, Chu Sang dared to guarantee that even if a big shot at the Divine Transformation realm came, they wouldn't be able to easily catch up with her lightning-fast legs!
By the last few days, Chu Sang was able to turn defense into offense and take the initiative to attack.
To make such progress in just two short months, being able to withstand the simultaneous attack of ten flying swords, and even occasionally counterattack... Chu Sang might not have realized how rapid her progress was, but Wu Wo had been watching during this time. Every day, she was amazed by the stronger potential Chu Sang displayed under the instinct for survival.
This child was indeed promising material.
However, she needed more practice.
In the evening, Chu Sang lay sprawled on the ground like a salted fish, refusing to move. "Did I pass?"
Big Senior Sister smiled. "Not bad, you passed ten swords." Just as the young woman's smile was about to rise, she delivered another heavy blow. "Starting tomorrow, twenty swords."
Chu Sang wanted to die.
No, she couldn't die alone. Before she died, she had to drag someone to hell with her.
As for who to drag?
The one who pushed her into hell!
Chu Sang sprang up from the ground like a carp, rushed over, and tied up Tantai Ming, who had been watching the show with great pleasure all this time. She smiled sweetly and harmlessly. "Big Senior Sister, you probably don't know since you've been in seclusion, but Seventh Senior Brother's sword skills have improved super fast this year!"
"Please beat him up mercilessly. Don't show any mercy."
"What??!"
From that night on, the resentful junior siblings joined forces, happily spending each day being beaten up.
To the point where later, their daily communication had changed to, "I was beaten seven times today!"
"I was only beaten five times today, haha, you loser!"
"Ahhh shut up!"
Ling Yu looked at the two wrestling together, sipped his tea in peaceful contentment, and sighed. His two junior siblings had been beaten silly.
In any case, after more than two months of demonic training, Chu Sang had grown rapidly through pain. This time when going out, she felt indifferent even about encountering Nascent Soul stage spirit beasts.
As for the Myriad Stars Sea secret realm opening half a month later, she seemed to recall some plot from the original novel. In the evening, she went to the East Peak to find Third Senior Brother, and unexpectedly encountered a beautiful bathing scene.
