Chapter 132: Word Turns to Reality

Coming down the mountain is much faster than going up. In no time, Su Tingyun returns to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. She has Big Bai carry Yin Li in her stomach, and they then go to explore the WanJian Sect.

Being in Xi Guang's body, her Mahayana cultivation makes her faster than Big Bai. At this occasion, she has Big Bai turn into a small pearl to hang around her neck, and she’s swiftly making her way to WanJian Sect. They arrive at the destination in just two hours.

With Little Bai as her guide, she finds their Sect's spiritual spring without any detours, or alerting anyone.

WanJian Sect's spiritual spring is somewhat similar to a hot spring pool. There is a spring seep where hot water gushes out continuously. The water is rich in spiritual energy, but it isn’t as abundant as the spiritual energy in the Kunlun Divine Tree, nowhere near as much as the spiritual energy of the area of the snowy mountain with the Snow Lotus. Su Tingyun understands in her heart that the water here likely would not work. However, since she has come all this way, she still can’t give up hope. She extends her hand to the location of the seep.

She waits for a while, but as expected, there’s no response from the ring.

Disappointed, Su Tingyun withdraws her hand. She’s about to move on to the next location with a spiritual spring when, all of a sudden, she hears Little Bai exclaim, "Not good. Something's wrong."

"Trouble in the Obliteration Sword Tower."

Since having Little Bai, there’s now a lot more orchids tongue grasses in Obliteration Sword Tower. And after merging with Big Bai, Little Bai's abilities have greatly improved. Just like how Little Bai can see the red invisible corpses that Su Tingyun couldn't see due to her lacking divine sense. Now it can not only hear sounds, it can also see things.

At this moment, Little Bai's words makes Su Tingyun's heart race. She immediately soars into the sky from the spring pool, steps on the Springwater Sword, and flies towards Obliteration Sword Tower.

The disciples cultivating in WanJian Sect only see a stream of water splashing out from the spring seep and shooting up into the sky. Under the sunlight, the water droplets reflect a colorful radiance, and there seems to be a streak of azure flying overhead. Upon closer inspection, they can only see a few green leaves blown by the wind, swirling, then finally falling into the water, remaining afloat on the surface.

In that instant, Su Tingyun has already flown thousands of lis away.

"Little Uncle had a sword duel with Master Zhan Yu, injuring the latter and attempting to break his sword," Little Bai anxiously exclaims. "Bai Chengyu has gone to Jinxiu City, and now there's no one to restrain Little Uncle, who’s about to succumb to his inner demons!"

Su Tingyun is extremely disturbed. Her spiritual energy surges to its limit, pouring madly into the Springwater Sword, further increasing her speed. Yin Li doesn’t dare to ask further questions at this moment. She knows the situation is critical and doesn’t dare to interrupt. However, a trace of pessimism instantly creeps into her heart. Could she really be an unlucky star like they said? It seems that wherever she goes, misfortune follows her.

"Bastard disciple, what are you doing? Stop it now!"

Little Bai can’t explain clearly by itself, so it directly starts to recount the conversations of the Obliteration Sword Tower cultivators at this moment. The stern reprimand towards Yan Yuqing came from Elder Yan, and even after his roar, the clash of swords continues, making Su Tingyun's heart tighten.

"Master" "Zhan Yu!" The voices of Xiao Budian and several other elders makes Su Tingyun's heart leap into her throat. She desperately increases her speed, and her eyes are beginning to turn red.

"Get out of the way!" It’s Elder Yan's voice again, followed by a loud crash, and then a deathly silence.

In the next moment, Su Tingyun hears several horrified shouts.

"Elder Yan!"

"Yan Shu!"

"Yuqing, you, you... " Elder Yan's voice is weak, and it's as if a huge stone is pressing down on Su Tingyun's heart, making it difficult for her to breathe. Every cultivator in the Obliteration Sword Tower is as important to her as family. Now that the Sect is prospering, and Elder Yan is about to break through to the Golden Core stage, how could such a thing happen?

Why did Little Uncle lose his mind? How could he-- how could he attack his own master!

"Quick, use spiritual energy to seal the wounds!"

"Where are the Pills!"

"Hahaha..." The laughter sounds strange, familiar, but Su Tingyun feels that it’s not Uncle Yan Yuqing's voice, at least not very similar.

"Master..." Wuyou and Wulu cry together. From their voices, she wonders what Yan Yuqing has done this time. She doesn’t continue that line of thought. Spiritual energy rises throughout her body, and the tip of her Springwater Sword reveals some faint dragon patterns. She flies across the sky, her speed so fast that it seems as if a blue dragon has appeared in the sky, spanning the vast cultivation realm.

"Little Uncle has run away," Little Bai adds, "He looked deranged, and he was very fast..."

"I can't find him!" How could Little Bai not see him? Now that the orchid tongue grasses in the whole cultivation world are Little Bai's eyes and ears? However, as soon as Yan Yuqing left the Obliteration Sword Tower, he had truly vanished, as if he’s disappeared into thin air.

How could Little Uncle, who just recently reached the Nascent Soul stage, escape Little Bai's surveillance when his cultivation level is so much lower than Big Bai?

At this moment, Su Tingyun has already returned to Obliteration Sword Tower. Like a cannonball, she crashes directly onto the island. And at this very moment, Elder Yan's pupils are dilated, the breath on his body is weak, and most importantly, his primordial spirit is feeble. Like it has been severed by a sword. It seems like he’s on the verge of death.

Master Zhan Yu is heavily injured as well, his sword lay discarded by his feet as he holds Elder Yan, continuously channeling spiritual energy into him. However, the effect is negligible.

Su Tingyun's vision gets blurry, her eyes filling up with tears. She hurriedly approaches Elder Yan, raising her hand to create a formation array. However, this formation is unable to prevent his primordial spirit's continued weakening.

It’s as if his primordial spirt has shattered into countless fragments, slowly dissipating into the wind. This is an unavoidable occurrence when cultivators perish, as set by the rules of the Heavenly Dao. She can use the Soul Restraining Bell to gather those remaining fragments of his consciousness, but it still wouldn't save Elder Yan.

The annihilation of the primordial spirit means complete death, an irreversible state.

However, Elder Yan still has a slight trace of consciousness. Can’t she save him? But she doesn’t have the kind of life-saving elixirs that could revive the dying. She has no idea what to do in this situation.

Wait, she has the ring. The ring is not bound by the rules of the Heavenly Dao!
