Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 139 Going to Sweep Across the Universe

The elders also realized that the other party was clearly at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but the Zhao family had investigated for so long but found no information about her. It seemed that she did not belong to any family or sect.

More importantly, with her cultivation level, she should have been selected as a walking disciple by the Mahayana patriarchs of various sects long ago. You know, there are fewer and fewer rogue cultivators on the continent who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, which makes it increasingly difficult to find a body for a Mahayana cultivator. Every one of them is targeted as soon as they break through.

But the other party has cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and possesses such a powerful sword talisman, so there is only one possibility... she does not belong to the Fengdong Continent.

Since a person who does not belong to Fengdong Continent has already appeared, it makes sense for another cultivator at the Celestial Realm to appear as well.

"If that's really the case, and they become enemies of the Zhao family, what should we do?" The elders grew increasingly anxious.

The gaunt old man paced around the hall several times before continuing to ask, "Have the people we sent out returned? Have they made contact with that demon? As long as they make a condition, my Zhao family will agree to anything."

"No!" The elder shook his head. "We've sent out everyone we could, but there's been no response."

"Damn it!" The gaunt old man slammed his fist on the table. "They're completely disregarding our Zhao family! Hmph! I refuse to believe that even if she's at the Celestial Realm, with so many of us joining forces and fighting to the death, she can really wipe out our Zhao family without a scratch."

Upon hearing this, the others realized that the moment of truth had arrived, and they all gritted their teeth, their fighting spirit ignited. Only a few writhing lumps of flesh couldn't help but speak up, "But...we haven't found a suitable way to move yet. If we really start fighting..."

"What do you care about walking now!" the gaunt old man sneered, and said directly, "The news of your possession has already spread, so what if they see you like this?"

"..." The chunks of flesh could only acquiesce, but their resentment towards the unknown demon grew even stronger. Indeed, the other party not only destroyed the major sects and aristocratic families, but also exposed everything they had kept hidden for so long, resulting in defections and rebellions from cultivators in many aristocratic territories.

"My Zhao family possesses an ancient grand formation. It won't be so easy for that demon to break through." The gaunt old man snorted coldly, glanced at everyone, and continued to instruct, "Those of you with the ability to move, go to the front of the formation's core. No matter which direction the enemy breaks through from, they'll be skinned alive first."

The Zhao family members regained their confidence, and their fear of the demon lessened somewhat. In terms of resources, the Zhao family was much stronger than the other three families. In particular, their ancient formation was said to be indestructible. No matter how strong the enemy was, it would not be easy for them to break through. As long as they guarded the four key points of the formation, even if they could not defeat the demon, the Zhao family would not be destroyed like the other three families.

They had a good plan, and even prepared for the worst, but unfortunately, their preparations were still insufficient.

Rumble…

On this day, everyone in the Zhao family felt an earth-shaking tremor. The four directions where they were on high alert did not present the enemies they had imagined, but everyone sensed an overwhelming force that was uprooting the entire Zhao family compound.

Yes, it was literally being pulled up. The entire Zhao family compound was being lifted up by a terrifying force, and an irresistible spiritual pressure enveloped them, rapidly contracting and compressing.

The so-called formations and strategies that the Zhao family had been so proud of just a few days ago were like child's toys under such overwhelming power, crumbling at the slightest touch. Not only the Zhao family members who usually acted arrogantly, but even the elders at the Integration and Great Ascension stages couldn't withstand such power for long before turning to ashes. Only in the midst of life and death could one vaguely see that blurry blue figure standing in the sky.

From this day forward—the family of cultivators perished!

After leaving the Refining God Sect, Chu Qiuci didn't immediately teleport back to the Nurturing Garden. Instead, she visited the four great families and several major sects, destroying each one as she went. Even before entering this continent, she knew that the cultivation environment of the entire Fengdong Continent had fallen into a state of abnormality, and if it continued, it would only lead to destruction.

Therefore, if we want to restore the cultivation order on the continent, we can only eliminate all the biggest cancers and make room for cultivators at the bottom to rise. Only in this way can we reverse the unhealthy environment and move towards healthy development. This is the principle of "no destruction, no construction".

She could have ignored all of this, after all, she was just an outsider who had accidentally entered this continent. But these people had all used the "Spiritual Flower," a product of Blue Star. Although they had mistaken it for a spiritual plant by accident, Blue Star did bear some responsibility for the state of Fengdong Continent. As the sole heir of Blue Star, she felt obligated to do something to clean up the mess her compatriots had created. That's why she made the impromptu decision to first wipe out these powerful families and sects.

Of course, she didn't just wipe out entire families. The main reason these powerful families and sects could control everything was because of their monopoly on resources and knowledge. So when she wiped out a family, she would also casually throw away the cultivation techniques they had collected, leaving one here and one there. If she didn't have enough, she would even pass on a few of the techniques she knew.

Then, this cleanup took a full three months. Finally, all the forces on Fengdong Continent that had been modified using the 'Spiritual Energy Flower' were wiped out. Only after confirming that there would be no more information about the flower did they prepare to return to Lanru Continent.

"Senior Chu." Qu Tengfei came running over excitedly, handing her the storage bag in his hand, "Those ten cultivation techniques have already been auctioned off. This is the spirit stones that Jubao Pavilion bought. I believe that in a few months, the cultivation techniques will spread far and wide."

He was beaming with excitement. Over the past few months, Qu Tengfei had followed her all over the continent. Apart from the physical tasks, he had helped with many other things, especially spreading the acquired cultivation techniques.

I have to say, he's a very useful tool.

"Take these, consider them your errand fee." Her storage bag was already full.

Qu Tengfei chuckled and didn't refuse. As he packed up the bag, he asked, "Senior, where are we going next?" Which family are we going to wipe out?

"I'm not going, I'm going back," Qiu Ci said after calculating the time.

"Huh?!" Qu Tengfei was stunned. Although he knew that his senior did not belong to this continent and would leave sooner or later, he did not expect it to be so soon.

"Before I leave, let me give you something." Qiu Ci tapped the other person's forehead with two fingers, then packaged and transmitted several cultivation techniques to him. He said in a deep voice, "These cultivation techniques are most suitable for your spiritual root aptitude and are enough for you to cultivate to the Great Ascension stage."

"Senior..." Qu Tengfei's eyes reddened, unable to discern the surging emotions within him. If it weren't for Senior Chu's presence, he would likely have already been possessed and his soul would have perished. How could a mere Golden Core cultivator like him deserve such protection from a senior? "I..."

"No need to say more." Qiu Ci patted his head. After all, he was practically a student. "Strive to cultivate diligently, and maybe we'll have a chance to meet again."

"Yes." He nodded, thought for a moment, then solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute and was about to kneel down in her direction. "Tengfei, thank you, Master!"

Qiu Ci directly took his hand, pulled him up, and corrected him, "I didn't teach you anything, so I don't deserve to be called your master. If you really feel bad about it, just call me teacher."

"Master..." he murmured.

"Hmm." Qiu Ci patted his dog's head again. "What the future holds for this continent depends on you. Remember the way you came from."

After saying that, she disappeared from sight.

Qu Tengfei remained standing there, stunned.

a long time……

"Student will obey your instructions!"
