I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 669 A Glimmer of Hope (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Inside the cauldron, there is no sun or moon, only an eternally burning, eerie blue flame and endless, excruciating pain.

Jiang Yi's primordial spirit was like a piece of stubborn iron thrown into a furnace, repeatedly forged in the Cauldron of Creation and Longevity.

Every breath felt like a century, and every lick of the flames brought the ultimate torture of having one's soul torn apart inch by inch and impurities forcibly stripped away.

Whenever her consciousness was about to sink and dissipate in boundless pain, a cold, piercing electric current would violently penetrate the core of her primordial spirit, forcibly pulling her back from the brink of unconsciousness into the purgatory of lucidity.

This feeling is more despairing than death itself.

Her primordial spirit emitted a silent lament, and the once pure and refined silver light twisted violently in the flames, flickering erratically.

All the power she had accumulated through her cultivation was being crushed and burned one by one.

The first thing to shatter was the Moonlight Barrier that was originally located in her sea of ​​consciousness. It was a gift she received from Hua Gu when she first helped Hua Gu break through the demon seed level, and it had been protecting her sea of ​​consciousness from external evil invasion all these years.

Next came her remaining spiritual root. When she formed her golden core, her spiritual root merged with the golden core, but some residue remained. At this moment, these residues were also forcibly burned away.

The fire in his heart, which had been shining brightly, was now teetering on the brink of extinction, with only a tiny ember remaining.

The mark, symbolizing the inheritance and protection of Kunlun, erupted in a final resistance, cracked and shattered.

Countless fragments imbued with ancient Daoist charm were swept away by the ghostly blue flames. The moment the Daoist seal shattered, Jiang Yi felt a certain connection being completely severed, and an indescribable sense of sorrow and loneliness overwhelmed her.

Her originally colorful primordial spirit, which symbolized her original power, became increasingly pure and shrank considerably, as all impurities were removed, leaving only a golden expanse.

The only thing still putting up a fight was the thirty-six Heavenly Star Swords that she had condensed with the power of her divine soul in her sea of ​​consciousness!
And the sword-nurturing gourd that was tightly protected deep within her primordial spirit core.

Inside the gourd, Hua Gu and the others were also desperately transferring their power to her without regard for their own losses, trying their best to keep her conscious.

Thirty-six Heavenly Star Swords surrounded the primordial spirit, clanging and trembling in the flames, their blades flickering as if they might go out at any moment.

They are the embodiment of her will, her fighting instinct, and her final act of defiance.

The Azure Emperor attempted to cripple all her henchmen, extinguish all her will to resist, and refine her into a blank Yang God vessel with no resistance, allowing them to parasitize and manipulate her at will.

"No... absolutely not!"

This thought, like a tiny spark amidst endless pain, ignited Jiang Yi's will, which was on the verge of collapse.

A pang of regret crept into her heart at that moment. If she hadn't shattered the Lazy Root back then, could she have helped her...?

"No! Relying on external things is ultimately a bad strategy! In the end, the only one you can rely on on the path of cultivation!"

Jiang Yi forcefully crushed this pathetic thought, giving her inner demons no chance to take hold.

In this extremely painful and desperate situation, Jiang Yi forcibly poured all his remaining will into the thirty-six teetering Heavenly Star Swords!
"Use their own methods to defeat their methods!"

Heavenly Gang Demon-Subduing Sword Manual, Greedy Wolf Breaks Evil!
The star sword representing the Greedy Wolf suddenly lit up, with an unwavering determination, its blade like a wolf's fang, fiercely piercing the surging blue flames.

scoff!

The sword light was instantly engulfed by the wave of fire, dimming and interrupting the sword move before it could be completed.

But she didn't give up; she locked the demon in the giant gate!

The sword moved horizontally, attempting to block out a patch of flames.

boom!
Flames crashed like waves against the shore, and the illusory gate collapsed instantly...

One move after another.

Each time Jiang Yi attempted to execute a sword technique, the Star Sword endured unimaginable pressure, its light rapidly dimming. Jiang Yi was like a child wielding a wooden sword amidst raging waves, repeatedly knocked down by the giant waves, only to struggle to his feet again and again, and swing his sword once more.

Her soul trembled in excruciating pain, but her will was honed to become sharper and purer with each failure!
Time passed in desperate resistance, and after an unknown amount of time, the thirty-six star swords had become extremely illusory, as if they might completely dissipate at any moment.

The burning of Yang Fire had entered its final and most intense stage. At this critical moment, when the core of his primordial spirit was about to be exposed, the essence of the thirty-six sword techniques in Jiang Yi's mind suddenly became clear after countless failed attempts and the pressure of life and death.

Beidou is doomed! Nandou is born!
The sword light, like a chain, outlined a deadly cage, sealing off all avenues of life from the approaching flames. Within this cage, a tenacious sliver of life was carved out, protecting her collapsing primordial spirit core.

The cycle of heaven and earth revolves! All evil is vanquished!
The sword energy circulated endlessly, forming a perpetually regenerating star-shaped sword wheel that frantically absorbed the raging Xuanling Qi within the cauldron. The sword wheel then erupted with a roar, unleashing countless sharp and unparalleled sword energies that fiercely slashed at the dark blue Yang Fire surging from all directions. Wherever the sword energies passed, the flames were briefly forced back.

The universe! Reshaped!
The light of the thirty-six star swords completely merged, and an indescribable, dazzling sword light suddenly shone forth!

boom!
The unified Heavenly Gang Star Sword unleashed unparalleled power. Wherever the sword light reached, the originally invincible dark blue Yang Fire was forcibly repelled, tearing open a brief vacuum area.

The entire Creation and Longevity Cauldron trembled violently, emitting a muffled roar!
Just as the sword light reached its peak and was about to dissipate, Jiang Yifu had a sudden inspiration. With his last bit of willpower, he controlled the magnificent sword light, abruptly changing its direction and slashing fiercely at his own primordial spirit.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a soft, tearing sound that seemed to come from the deepest part of the soul.

The moment the sword light touched the primordial spirit, an extremely tiny, dark shadow was forcibly torn apart and peeled away.

The sword light eventually disappeared into the mouth of the sword-nurturing gourd, with the blade inside and the hilt outside, a perfect fit, as if it were originally meant to be part of the gourd.

hum!
The sword-nurturing gourd suddenly trembled violently, and the entire internal space of the Creation and Longevity Cauldron also shook. The originally stable azure yang fire was disrupted by this sudden burst of alien power, becoming violent and chaotic.

Two equally powerful spatial laws collided and repelled each other, forcibly tearing and distorting space, and a highly unstable and wildly rotating pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared.

The sword-nurturing gourd was caught in a vortex, which suddenly collapsed inward, taking the gourd with it and disappearing completely.

Qin Emperor Xiao Tianyin, who had been intently watching the changes inside the cauldron, was startled the moment the sword-nurturing gourd erupted with resistance and a spatial vortex appeared.

"Ok?"

She reached out, trying to lock onto the strange aura that was about to escape, but she was a fraction too slow, and the aura slipped through her fingertips.

"what happened?!"

Just then, with a soft sound, the lid of the Creation and Longevity Cauldron, which was suspended above the abyss, slowly opened on its own.

The refining process inside the cauldron is complete!

Overwhelmed with joy and anticipation, she dispelled her earlier surprise and doubt. With a swift grab and tug, she roughly pulled the person trapped inside out and slammed him heavily onto the floor of the underground palace.

The primordial spirit returned to the physical body, and the golden light subsided.

Jiang Yi lay on the ground, her whole body trembling slightly involuntarily. Her exposed skin had an almost transparent jade-like color, surrounded by a pure and sacred golden halo.

This is precisely the typical state of a newly formed Yang spirit, where power is extremely restrained yet unstable and prone to outward expansion.

Her breath was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her head.

The Qin Emperor's divine sense swept over Jiang Yi's entire body, and he was overjoyed.

Pure and immaculate! Incomparably pure!
Despite its weakness, the essence of the Yang God had already been formed. Although its foundation appeared weak due to the forced refining, it was free of any evil impurities and was even 'cleaner' than she had expected.

"good very good!"

The Qin Emperor could no longer contain his elation, and a smug smile, almost distorted, bloomed on his usually cold face.

Jiang Yi collapsed to the ground, but she also smiled. No matter what the outcome, at least Hua Gu and the others still had a glimmer of hope.

Qin Di keenly caught the smile on Jiang Yi's lips and sneered, "No matter what tricks you've played, it will all be in vain in the end. You've already made your preparations. Next, we'll wipe out those two little brats you left outside!"

Qin Di had expected to see a look of panic or fury on Jiang Yi's face, but to her surprise, Jiang Yi didn't even bother to look at her. She simply closed her eyes and fell asleep in no time!
