EX: 6/20

Time swiftly passed, marking another year.

On this early spring day,

Liu Shunyi was watering the flowers he had planted.

A year ago,

Ji Suying left for the Sect Competition held at Illusory Moon Palace.

Nearly all Inner Sect disciples from Hidden Sword Peak participated.

Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi focused on his daily wellness routines.

In his leisure time,

he would occasionally hear updates about the competition from Illusory Moon Palace.

News of who performed exceptionally well,

defeating their opponents with just a few moves,

and which underdogs emerged as dark horses,

leaving others far behind.

Even listening to these tales from Outer Sect disciples,

Liu Shunyi found them incredibly captivating.

Now, he somewhat regretted not attending himself.

However, what astonished him most was Ji Suying’s prowess.

“Ah, Senior Sister Ji Suying remains unbeatable! Every time she stepped onto the arena, her opponent usually conceded without even engaging.”

“You don’t fully understand; it wasn’t that she didn’t act, but rather her overwhelming presence rendered her opponents incapable of making a move.”

“Sigh, Senior Sister Ji’s brilliance is truly blinding. It must be a tragedy for those geniuses to live in the same era as her!”

Liu Shunyi nodded in agreement.

“By the way, do you guys know what realm Senior Sister Ji is actually in?”

“Is she truly at Golden Core already?”

The topic instantly captivated everyone’s attention.

Liu Shunyi, blending in as just another bystander under a tree, listened to their speculations and idle chatter.

However, as the conversation escalated, these bored disciples nearly came to blows over Ji Suying’s actual cultivation realm.

Realizing the situation was getting out of hand, Liu Shunyi swiftly made his escape, putting considerable distance between himself and the group.

Finally, far away from the commotion, he shook his head.

“Fighting over someone else? Not worth it!” Liu Shunyi muttered as he headed back towards his residence.

Upon reaching his doorstep, he encountered an unexpected acquaintance – Chen Qiaoli!

Quickly approaching her, he asked, “Senior Sister Chen, what brings you here?”

Chen Qiaoli grabbed Liu Shunyi’s hand and hastily pulled him into the courtyard, ensuring no one was around. With a swift motion, she closed the door behind them with a thud.

“What’s going on?” Liu Shunyi felt bewildered.

Chen Nian looked unusually serious. “Junior Brother, would you like to play big this time?”

Liu Shunyi blinked, puzzled.

Chen Qiaoli produced a torn piece of parchment.

“Take a look at this!”

Liu Shunyi accepted the map and examined it closely.

Hmm…

The map resembled a landscape painting typical of the cultivation world, but Liu Shunyi found it somewhat perplexing.

“Do you know what this is?”

Liu Shunyi cautiously replied, “A map?”

Chen Qiaoli’s expression remained serious. “Do you recognize whose map it is?”

Liu Shunyi shook his head.

“It’s a map of the River of Forgetfulness!”

Liu Shunyi maintained a composed demeanor as Chen Qiaoli continued.

“For this Sect Competition, the top hundred disciples will gain entry to the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm.”

“To access the secret realm, several elders from different sects must perform a special ritual together, opening the entrance.”

As she spoke, Chen Qiaoli grew increasingly excited.

“But now, we have obtained a map of the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm. Do you understand what this means?”

Liu Shunyi suddenly realized its significance.

“Does it mean we can enter the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm without participating in the competition?”

Chen Qiaoli nodded affirmatively.

“Yes, exactly! We don’t need to compete; instead, we can enter directly through a hidden entrance marked on this map.”

“Moreover, I’ve thoroughly verified it – the entrance is genuine, and entering indeed leads to the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm!”

“So, Junior Brother, let’s pull off something grand together!”

Liu Shunyi was about to ask if this seemed reliable, but then he recalled Chen Qiaoli’s cautious nature.

He quickly realized there was no need to question her judgment. Anything deemed unreliable would not be pursued by Chen Qiaoli.

“But why did Senior Sister invite me?”

Chen Qiaoli sighed.
“I don’t trust many others. As for choosing you, it took me half a year of observation to find you trustworthy, and conveniently, we already know each other well!”

Liu Shunyi was astounded.
“You observed me for half a year?”

Chen Qiaoli nodded.

“What about when I bathe?”

Chen Qiaoli looked momentarily speechless.

“Don’t you always use the Cleansing Technique?”

“Oh, right, that makes sense!” Liu Shunyi acknowledged.

Chen Qiaoli waved her hand dismissively.
“Alright, are you in or out?”

Liu Shunyi nodded firmly.
“In! But wait a moment!”

As he spoke, Liu Shunyi produced over a thousand storage bags, which had cost him a fortune.

Ji Suying was taken aback, even slightly suspicious.
“Why do you have so many storage bags prepared?”

Liu Shunyi cleared his throat.

“Uh, you know I’m highly efficient in alchemy; these were meant for storing Medicine Pills.”

This explanation made perfect sense.

Indeed, Liu Shunyi’s alchemical efficiency was remarkable. The entire Hidden Sword Peak’s storage was filled with his crafted Medicine Pills.

“Alright, let’s sneak out quietly!” Liu Shunyi once again stopped Chen Qiaoli.

“Do you have any decoys?”

Chen Qiaoli chuckled mischievously. “I knew we were kindred spirits!”

Moments later, Liu Shunyi saw an identical replica of himself placed within the cultivation chamber. Intrigued, he even pinched it gently.

“Wow, feels quite realistic!” Liu Shunyi was genuinely astonished and proceeded to explore other parts of the dummy. His expression quickly shifted, becoming somewhat peculiar.

Chen Qiaoli remained nonchalant. “Not bad craftsmanship, right?”

Liu Shunyi whispered softly, “Could you possibly give me a few more?”

Chen Qiaoli shook her head, “Don’t even think about it. Do you treat this like buying cabbages?”

“By infusing a portion of your soul into the puppet, its thoughts and perspectives will align with yours!”

Liu Shunyi nodded.

He followed her instructions accordingly.

As soon as a thread of his soul entered the puppet’s forehead, a remarkable phenomenon occurred.

Through the puppet, Liu Shunyi saw himself from its perspective.

Even more astounding, he could effortlessly adjust the puppet’s cultivation level at will.

“Senior Sister, this creation is truly extraordinary!”

Chen Qiaoli nodded in agreement.

“After all, creating these… Hmm, let’s not discuss that now. However, I can give you one of these puppets, but for the treasures within the River of Forgetfulness Secret Realm, we’ll split them seven parts to me, three to you!”

Liu Shunyi was speechless.

“With so many treasures in the secret realm, do we really need such division?”

Chen Qiaoli pondered for a moment, realizing it might indeed be unnecessary.

“Alright then, let’s go!”

Liu Shunyi nodded.

Recently, Shi Changxin had been thriving immensely.

Despite initially suffering from blood evaporation, which weakened his foundation and tormented his spirit,

he indeed managed to find the cultivation technique for the Blood Demon Art.

Now, not only has he cultivated it to the seventh level, but by continuously refining the bloodline essence of ancient Great Monsters,

he unexpectedly gained a trace of their divine abilities.

Moreover,

he achieved Nascent Soul stage,

and remarkably,

became a Nascent Soul Cultivator with an exceptionally powerful physical body, virtually impervious to blades and weapons.

This newfound invulnerability felt incredibly exhilarating.

Currently,

Shi Changxin was bursting with confidence.

“You’re certain? The Heavenly Evil Demon Seed is truly within Ji Suying?”

The crow perched on Shi Changxin’s shoulder nodded.

“There’s no mistake; it resides within her!”

Shi Changxin’s eyes filled with disdain.

“A mere Golden Core, I can suppress her effortlessly!”

“Where is she located?”

The crow glanced towards a distant mountain peak.

Shi Changxin instantly vanished.

“I’ll be right back!”

The crow opened its beak, as if wanting to say something.

However, ultimately saying nothing, it flapped its wings and swiftly fled away.
