Become a fairy alone

Large numbers of low-level skeletons and ghouls wandered aimlessly around Blackbone City. Occasionally, some slightly stronger ghosts would look in astonishment toward the forbidden area of ​​Blackbone City. After sensing the terrifying fluctuations caused by the spatial tear, they would flee in panic.

Amidst a billowing cloud of dark gray smoke, Gu You glanced warily at the forbidden area.

He escaped from the earth-shattering battle in Yundu. At that time, the entire battle was too chaotic. There were rumors that the Yundu Demon Ancestor and the Black Floating Bone Emperor had died one after another, but no one had seen it with their own eyes.

However, the deaths of Ghost Lords and Demon Lords like the Black Bone City Lord and the Cloud Pattern Python King were indeed witnessed by some demons and ghosts.

After these high-ranking members were wiped out, most of the skeletons, ghouls, or cloud demons had nowhere else to go and returned to the places where they were used to living.

As a skeletal being at the Nascent Soul Ghost Body Realm, Gu You considered that the Black Floating Bone Emperor and the Black Bone City Lord might have already perished. This land was undoubtedly a sacred cultivation ground for him.

After much hesitation, Gu You rushed back from Yundu, thinking that when the tiger is away, the monkey will reign supreme. Without those old monsters, he could also establish himself as a powerful force here.

After a long and arduous journey, he finally made it back to Blackbone City, only to find that his colleagues had already arrived. Clearly, he wasn't the only one with this idea. Without proper restraint, the entire Blackbone City descended into chaos.

Gu You managed to snatch a few decent items during the chaotic battle, but while he and two other opponents were vying for the Bone Flame Ghost Spirit, a terrifying spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated from the direction of the Black Bone City Forbidden Area, sweeping away his two opponents and the Ancient Flame Ghost Spirit.

Gu You was startled and quickly fled away. After running for a while, he found that nothing was chasing him.

Knowing that Blackbone City was now filled with inexplicable dangers, Gu You wanted to leave but was reluctant to part with the treasures here. After some hesitation, he stopped on the outskirts and decided to observe the situation.

There are quite a few others with similar ideas to Gu You, and they are all cautiously exploring little by little, but they dare not go too deep.

They speculated that the forbidden area where the Black Bone Emperor, the Black Bone City Lord, and others used to reside must have experienced a spatial collapse or something similar, and was not occupied by other powerful figures. Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed these juniors to explore the outer perimeter at will. This place should still be an unclaimed territory.

Just as this thought was in mind, a terrifying aura of calamity suddenly converged wildly towards the forbidden area.

"A calamity of heaven and earth!" Gu You's expression changed drastically. Judging from the situation before him, it turned out that there were other ghost path experts here trying to break through to the Ghost Lord realm. The other party was not only proficient in ghost path techniques, but also had a very deep understanding of spatial laws.

The reason why Gu You stayed here at great risk was that he wanted to make further progress in his cultivation.

It's true that there are risks here, but it's also extremely beneficial for them in their attempt to break through to the Ghost Lord realm. At least they can't find a better place than this.

Not only Gu You, but also Su Qing.

Originally, Lu Xiaotian had already left Yundu with Su Qing and her group, intending to search for the remaining right arm. As for the head, it was still trapped inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, and he was temporarily powerless to do so.

I wonder what the situation is with the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. With Lu Xiaotian's current strength, he naturally wouldn't dare to go looking for the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. Right now, only his right arm is missing, so finding it is the more pragmatic choice.

However, after only a short time away, Su Qing, who had already reached a bottleneck in her cultivation, suddenly showed signs of breaking through her current realm.

Then the same situation occurred on Pig Seven's side. Lu Xiaotian had no choice but to turn back and head to Black Bone City. The ghostly aura here was strong. For Su Qing, even if she went to the Ghost Realm, it would be difficult to find a place more suitable for breaking through her cultivation level than Black Bone City.

Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian personally stayed in Black Bone City to oversee and protect Su Qing.

As for Zhu Qi, he was accompanied by Wen He and Kong Yan to Qingmu Shengyuan.

The Nine Nether Weak Water there is even more beneficial to Zhu Qi's breakthrough. With Wen He and his group, as long as they don't encounter an Emperor-level expert, they can practically run rampant.

Zhu Qixiong strode off with Wen He and the others, exclaiming that he had never imagined he, Old Pig, would have such a grand display. Even a powerful emperor like Black Floating Bone Emperor didn't have such a lavish lifestyle.

The Black Floating Bone Emperor and the Cloud Capital Demon Ancestor of this region have both perished under the siege of Wen He and his group, making it extremely unlikely that any other powerful emperors will emerge.

However, to ensure everything went smoothly, while Lu Xiaotian was stationed in Blackbone City, he was also establishing contact between Blackbone City and Qingmu Sacred Abyss.

It would be extremely difficult for Lu Xiaotian to accomplish this from scratch on his own, and the time required would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, there was the array that the Black Floating Bone Emperor and the Cloud Capital Demon Ancestor had spent countless efforts to build. Lu Xiaotian only needed to repair the damaged parts of the array on this basis.

The connection between the two places was re-established, and a spiritual skyway was constructed through this formation. Noticing that Zhu Qi was also making good progress over there, Lu Xiaotian smiled calmly. Unbeknownst to him, he and his old friends had already reached their current level.

Looking back suddenly, it feels like a dream.

Both Zhu Qi and Su Qing possess exceptionally solid foundations. Together, they successively slew the Cloud-Patterned Python King and the Six-Armed Cloud-Eyed Lion, defeating enemies beyond their level and reaping a significant share of the fortune. They have also remained remarkably calm amidst the calamity, making the possibility of anything unexpected relatively low. For the time being, there is nothing for him to worry about.

Even if something goes wrong, as long as it's not an extreme situation, Lu Xiaotian is confident he can save them.

The oppression brought by the calamity grew heavier, and Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian sat cross-legged on one side respectively.

The world was in turmoil, like a raging sea, but Lu Xiaotian's mind was unusually peaceful.

He experienced a great battle with the Four Heavenly Emperors, was killed by the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, and fought against and killed many powerful enemies.

A sense of the impermanence yet eternity of the way of heaven suddenly welled up in Lu Xiaotian's heart.

Even as an emperor-level powerhouse, or even the Supreme Heavenly Dragon who has reached the pinnacle of several realms and whose strength is unmatched, his every move carries the power to shatter the heavens and the earth and break through realms.

But these are like trying to cut water with a knife; once the power dissipates, the water will eventually flow again. The severed space and interface will also slowly heal.

The vastness of heaven and earth remains unchanged, encompassing all things, yet witnessing the rise and fall, and extinction of countless races. And those that have perished and vanished will ultimately become a wisp of dust in this world.

"The world is like an inn, and I am but a traveler." Lu Xiaotian sighed softly.

Having cultivated to his current level, experiencing life-and-death tribulations, and witnessing countless deaths, Lu Xiaotian felt that he was merely one of the myriad beings in this vast universe.

After having this realization, Lu Xiaotian's consciousness suddenly began to vibrate inexplicably, and naturally wandered in the void. Lu Xiaotian did not want to control it, and seemed to enjoy the feeling of his consciousness wandering between heaven and earth.

The eerie, ghostly aura that used to make him uncomfortable didn't seem so repulsive to Lu Xiaotian now, though it wasn't exactly friendly either. Both of them were just passersby in this world, only their ways of existence were different.

Meanwhile, the wandering forces of law in the void were intentionally or unintentionally moving closer to him. Lu Xiaotian let them gather, enjoying this state of unrestrained and desireless divine consciousness.

When his divine sense faded to a certain extent, Lu Xiaotian discovered that there seemed to be a mysterious rhythm in the world, and his divine sense gradually began to match this mysterious rhythm without him realizing it.

Boom! Like a resounding bell echoing deep within Lu Xiaotian's soul, it caused his primordial spirit and body to tremble inexplicably. At this moment, it seemed as if a certain shackle within his body had been broken. Lu Xiaotian couldn't quite put his finger on what it was, only experiencing a mysterious and indescribable feeling.

Luo Qian glanced around in surprise. Something seemed to have changed, but upon closer inspection, he couldn't quite make out what it was.

Su Qing, who was at the center of the catastrophe, also felt that there seemed to be a more familiar and welcoming atmosphere in the world.

Su Qing glanced in the direction of Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian. The two most important people in her life were on either side of her, which gave her a strange sense of peace.

With these two around, nothing that happens, no matter what kind of enemy she faces, or even the impending calamity, is so terrifying for Su Qing.

Su Qing took a breath, summoned the Void Devouring Emperor Ant, and faced the baptism of spatial storm and calamity aura together with her ghost body. Her primordial spirit endured tearing pain again and again, and her ghost body continued to decay under the erosion of calamity aura.

Su Qing tried her best to mobilize the ghost energy and the power of laws within her body to repair herself.

Boom! A barrage of gray, murky lightning swept down, completely engulfing Su Qing's body.

Su Qing's eyes remained calm as she took out a set of Star Ghost Gauze Robes and draped them over herself. With a flicker of starlight, the turbid lightning energy extinguished the starlight. The Devouring Void Emperor Ants also continuously fought off and neutralized the spatial storms.

Su Qing faced an extremely dire calamity, but she managed to escape danger through layers of resistance.

Lu Xiaotian's consciousness drifted aimlessly through the void, letting the spatial storms and even the aura of calamity stir it up. He was like a clear-headed yet engrossed observer.

Unbeknownst to him, when Lu Xiaotian's consciousness awoke from this wondrous state, he discovered that a part of his consciousness had actually broken through its previous limits and arrived at the Azure Wood Sacred Abyss. Zhu Qi, who was fighting against the calamity of heaven and earth, was also suddenly very close.

Previously, although he had maintained his awareness of this place through the passage between the two locations, his divine sense was now outside the passage, something he could never have done before. Even if his physical body were intact, he could not have achieved this.

Looking back at his body, Lu Xiaotian discovered that his primordial spirit had made great progress, but as a divided spirit, it was not as strong as when his main body fought against the Four Heavenly Emperors. However, it had indeed crossed the vast distance between Black Bone City and Green Wood Abyss and arrived near Pig Seven, unaffected by the aura of the calamity of heaven and earth, and transcending worldly affairs.

The dragon essence and law aura within his body have improved somewhat, though not by a large margin. More importantly, he feels that his perspective on things is different now than before, and the framework and operating principles of the world seem clearer.

Lu Xiaotian smiled calmly. The main change was in his mindset. With different levels of understanding and perception, the same power could sometimes turn the rotten into the miraculous.

When he returns to the Immortal Realm, he will surely have to experience the methods of the Four Heavenly Emperors once again. The outcome of the battle remains to be seen!
After his primordial spirit underwent some transformation, Lu Xiaotian was able to sense the same aura as the origin of his body. It seemed that his head, which was sealed inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, was still intact. His situation might be quite difficult, but as long as he was not completely annihilated, there was still a lot of room for maneuver.

Boom! The last terrifying yin lightning force was dispersed by Su Qing, and a powerful aura emanated from her body. Luo Qian was overjoyed. After going through tribulations, Su Qing had finally successfully advanced to the Ghost Lord Realm!

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Su!" Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian said almost simultaneously.

Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile appeared on her face like never before. "Senior Brother Lu, from now on, no matter where we are or what kind of enemies we face, Senior Brother Luo and I will be with you. We won't leave."

"Then let's go together," Lu Xiaotian said with a smile.

"How's Pig Seven doing?" Su Qing asked.

"The situation over there is alright. I estimate that they will be able to advance successfully soon," Lu Xiaotian said, but before he finished speaking, he let out a soft "hmm."

"What happened? Did something happen to Pig Seven?" Luo Qian's smile faded, and he asked in a deep voice.

Luo Qian was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He cared deeply for old friends like Zhu Qi, who had been through thick and thin with him and whom he could entrust his life to. Although he usually found Zhu Qi's mouth a bit annoying, if anything happened to him, he would feel a void in his heart.
"Pig Seven is doing alright, but there's a guy lurking nearby that we didn't notice before. That's quite a tactic," Lu Xiaotian said.

"Go to Pig Seven's place right away and see who dares to harbor such treacherous intentions." Su Qing's tone was full of murderous intent.

"Let's go over there together." Lu Xiaotian agreed. Su Qing had just successfully advanced, so it would be best for her to stay in Black Bone City for a period of quiet cultivation. However, there had been some unexpected events with Pig Seven, so not only Su Qing, but Lu Xiaotian himself was also uneasy about staying there.

A faint spatial force enveloped Luo Qian and Su Qing simultaneously, and then they entered the Spirit Void Plank Road together with Lu Xiaotian.

In a short while, they arrived at the Azure Wood Abyss. Ancient trees towered all around, and vines, like snakes and pythons, slithered about, while various birds and beasts darted among them.

Whoosh! A large amount of Netherworld Weak Water surged from the depths of the void. Zhu Qi shattered the last part of the calamity aura in front of him with a rake, and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, I've ascended to the throne! I never thought I'd have a day like this!" Pig Seven was full of pride and unrestrainedly vented his joy. At this moment, the vast Nine Nether Weak Waters felt exceptionally familiar to Pig Seven.

However, Pig Seven's joy was short-lived. Suddenly, his body stiffened as a sinister and terrifying aura, enough to make him tremble, swept in from the depths of the Nine Netherworld, instantly enveloping him. (End of Chapter)
