Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Deep within the Qingbei Secret Realm, three blood-red dark moons stretch across the sky.

Compared to the darkness, oppression, and coldness of the past, the secret realm is now filled with more frenzy, madness, and confusion.

Low-level demons, like walking corpses, attached themselves to the bodies dressed in various clothes and slowly walked towards the outside of the secret realm, but there were even more countless demons wandering in the air.

The demon spirits, newly born from the endless sea of ​​demons, sensed the presence of living beings and transformed into a black storm, descending from the sky.

These demons spoke in human language and shouted wildly.

"Human, I want to become human!"

"Conquer the human world and welcome the resurrection of the demons!"

"Lord Chishin, grant me power!"

……

The ferocious, terrifying thorns attacked the students and teachers guarding the entrance to the secret realm, alarming the entire Qingbei Academy.

Many students who were in seclusion in the cave were awakened and immediately donned their protective gear and rushed to the front line.

An Li and Ye Qianqian did not hide in their caves, but instead followed their respective mentors to form battle formations and come to the front of the battle.

Cultivators in the new era have a variety of combat styles, with battle formations being one of the most frequently used.

Once low-level cultivators form a battle formation, they can share spiritual energy and, under the control of the formation's leader, unleash powerful spells and flying sword attacks.

This is a combined attack formation, which every cultivator learns after entering the Qi Refining stage.

Before Shen Bai's Namo Gatling Bodhisattva was born, this kind of combined attack formation was basically the strongest attack method for low-level cultivators.

However, now that we have the Bodhisattva Namo Gatling, this kind of combined formation is not enough, as it is both labor-intensive and spiritually exhausting.

An Li and Ye Qianqian held hands, continuously channeling spiritual energy into the battle formation. They watched as the instructor at the front of the formation unleashed Five Elements Divine Thunder upon the countless demons, instantly blasting hundreds of demons into ashes that vanished into the heavens and earth.

Looking around, hundreds of battle formations were lined up in a row, blocking the entrance and exit of the secret realm.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and thunder rumbled.

The battle before the entrance to the secret realm had reached a fever pitch.

"Blazing sun!"

Suddenly, a voice appeared above An Li's battle formation.

An Li looked up and saw her closest man appear in the air, stepping on a thunderbolt.

A blazing sun rose from behind him, and the demons at the front of the battle formation seemed to have encountered the most terrifying thing in the world. Under the blazing sun, the snow melted as if it were the first snow, and the dark clouds above their heads quickly dissipated.

"Shen Bai, be careful!"

An Li shouted, and Shen Bai in the air smiled and nodded at him. His white and gold school uniform fluttered in the wind as Shen Bai flew towards the front of the battle formation.

"Holy crap, I feel like Shen Bai's cultivation has gotten even stronger? And he's actually comprehended sword intent! Is he even human?"

"Damn, he's only been in school for a year! They're both geniuses, how can there be such a huge difference? I feel like only Daozi can surpass him, right?"

"His current aura is so powerful. I feel like he might be preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage using the most difficult method?"

……

After experiencing events such as the Freshman Trial and the Alchemy Competition, Shen Bai's fame at Qingbei Dao Academy is no less than that of the Sixth Princess An Li.

Everyone was secretly comparing him to Daozi, wondering who had the stronger talent between him and the current Daozi of Qingbei Dao Academy.

Shen Bai had no time to listen to his classmates' gossip. He stood in front of An Li's battle formation, under the pressure of countless demons, and frantically urged his Blazing Sun Sword Intent.

To break through with force, one must constantly hone one's spirit and energy, allowing one's invincible momentum to reach its peak, so as to build a perfect foundation for the Dao in one fell swoop.

His talent had already reached an extremely high level under the system's modifications. If he could perfectly establish his foundation, he would be able to break through to the Golden Core stage much faster than others.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

In the world of geniuses, one's cultivation speed is never defined according to the version of mediocre people.

Since comprehending sword intent, Shen Bai has not had many opportunities to fully utilize it, so now is the perfect time to hone his sword intent.

Scorching sun!

Chongyue!

Geng Metal!

Aoki!

Three thousand weak waters!

Five different sword intents took turns attacking, and the sky full of shocking thorns was no match for them.

Shen Bai felt increasingly exhilarated as he killed. His spiritual consciousness, comparable to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, was constantly pushed to its limit under the unrestrained attacks of sword intent. He felt that the small lake formed by his spiritual consciousness within his sea of ​​consciousness was expanding little by little.

More and more students from Tsinghua and Peking University's Taoist academies rushed to the battlefield.

The lower-ranking students formed battle formations, led by their teachers, to slay the countless demons and spirits.

The advanced students, on the other hand, displayed their unique talents.

A powerful student condensed a fiery phoenix of spiritual energy outside his body and charged into the demon's territory.

Some students even transformed their swords into countless forms, attacking and killing numerous demons and spirits.

Furthermore, powerful puppets were released in front of the students. These puppets came in all sorts of shapes and sizes, including Yellow Turban Warriors, cute fox girls, and adorable pets. All of these puppets transformed into killing machines, quickly reaping the demons and spirits.

In addition, countless dark flying insects rose up from one of the battle formations. When these insects saw the demon, they chirped and squeaked excitedly, as if they had encountered the most delicious spiritual food in the world.

A female senior student dressed in a pale yellow fairy dress waved her hand and sprinkled spiritual mist into the air. The countless demons seemed to be suffering the most painful torment, screaming and falling to the ground, quickly turning into puddles of yellow water and disappearing without a trace.

A chubby student, holding an enormous gourd of wine, laughed heartily and gulped down a mouthful of spiritual wine, then ignited a spiritual flame with his index finger.

He suddenly spat out the spiritual wine in his mouth, and the sky full of spiritual fire instantly burned the dozens of demons in front of him to ashes.

A senior student in a white dress, holding a white brush, splashed ink in the air, and countless golden characters gathered in the air as she wrote, then crashed down on the countless demons. The demons were injured if they were touched by the golden characters, and died if they were touched.

Two identical female students stood hand in hand at the front of the battle formation, singing beautiful songs to the sky. The demons in front of them seemed to be drunk and kept falling.

……

The myriad arts of cultivating immortality were on full display at this moment.

Medicine, poison, sound, alcohol, insects, puppets...

There are no useless skills, only useless people.

As the sacred academy of the Xuan Yuan Empire, Qingbei Dao Academy has gathered the most geniuses. They are not limited to the four basic arts of alchemy, artifact crafting, talisman formation, etc. Each of these arts has powerful successors who are constantly studying and researching.

This is the source of happiness for cultivators in this great era of cultivation.

You can continue to delve deeper into the skills you love.

Longevity is my desire.

The Great Way is what I desire.

……

The heads of many departments have also come to take charge.

The attacks of the demon spirits are not simply about piling up heads. The low-level demon spirits are left for the students to hone their skills, while the high-level demon spirits require them to personally engage in combat.

Looking at the countless demons filling the sky, Ding Ji Zhenjun, the leader of the Sword Sect, laughed loudly, "Always playing this game! Do you dare to compete with my Azure Edge Sword?"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

A chilling voice rang out, and a demon spirit at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm emerged from the sky. It possessed the body of an old man with a white beard, and its origins were unknown, but its powerful aura made some of the chief disciples somewhat wary.

"war!"

Dingji Zhenjun flew into the air, and the two immediately rushed towards the three blood moons.

One after another, demons at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage emerged, and the leaders of each faction laughed and rushed into the air to fight them.

A furry iron-eating beast sat at the entrance of the secret realm, constantly scanning the entire battlefield. When its gaze swept over Shen Bai, it would unconsciously linger for a moment.

There was no way around it; Shen Bai's momentum was still steadily rising.

Shen Bai himself didn't know how many demons he had killed; he only knew that the five sword intents were becoming more complete and harmonious.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

Shen Bai felt exhilarated, and even though his spiritual energy was nearly depleted, his spirit and energy became even more abundant.

The spiritual lake within the sea of ​​consciousness has now nearly doubled in size.

He has reached a critical point.

"ah--"

A scream startled Shen Bai awake. Looking up, he saw the elegant senior in the white dress struggling to stay upright, surrounded by several demonic spirits at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

"Duh!"

With a flick of his sword, Shen Bai unleashed a thunderbolt carrying boundless power, striking a Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection demon spirit. Before the spirit could react, it was melted into a pool of dirty water by the blazing sun sword intent carried by the thunderbolt.

The thunderbolt didn't stop after killing one Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection demon spirit; it began to bombard several other Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection demon spirits.

"Thanks!"

The senior in the white dress, having been rescued, bowed deeply to Shen Bai with immense gratitude. Shen Bai said loudly, "Senior, please return to the battle formation to recover your spiritual energy. This battle will last a long time."

The senior in the white dress nodded, and before leaving, she introduced herself, "My name is Bai Lu. I hope to learn from you again sometime."

Shen Bai nodded, then turned back to continue slaying the numerous demons.

As the senior in the white dress retreated, the senior in the pale yellow fairy dress, the chubby guy who was drinking, the twin sisters, and other powerful students from the university also returned to the battle formation to begin regulating their breathing and recovering their spiritual power.

The departure of everyone brought Shen Bai's pressure to its peak.

This pressure, however, ignited the fighting spirit within Shen Bai.

His momentum began to surge again.

"kill!"

Five kinds of sword intents rained down upon the countless demons filling the sky.

At this moment, Shen Bai's brilliance was fully revealed.

Behind the demon army, a Golden Core stage demon saw Shen Bai's ferocity and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

He abandoned the human corpse he was possessing, transforming into a black sword that shot towards Shen Bai.

"Human brat, die!"

Shen Bai was using his sword intent to slay many demons when a huge wave suddenly surged up in the spiritual lake within his sea of ​​consciousness. He immediately realized that a tremendous life-or-death crisis was approaching him.

Looking up, he saw the black sword.

"Well done!"

Shen Bai shouted, and the five sword intents returned to the flying sword form, swirling wildly around the flying sword Thunder, and finally merging into one, fiercely meeting the incoming sharp sword head-on.
