After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

"Ye Jinghong, you're asking for death!"

A furious roar, brimming with boundless rage, echoed across the plaza, instantly unleashing a terrifying pressure.

At this moment, the elder who had intervened to stop him slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calmly meeting the furious middle-aged man.

"Bloodbone, if you attack again, I will show no mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Bone Immortal, whose hair seemed to float in the air, froze, and his originally blood-red eyes suddenly became much clearer.

The crimson giant lotus is the cultivation site of a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord. Cultivators above the Golden Core stage are absolutely forbidden from fighting here, because a Golden Core cultivator's attack would cause violent fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If that ancestor were disturbed...

"I apologize, I lost my composure."

[Blood Bone's expression shifted several times, but he chose to swallow his anger for the time being. He took one last deep look in your direction before transforming into a streak of red light and disappearing.]

"Thank you, Elder."

You watched the streak of light disappear into the horizon, a cold laugh escaping your lips, before bowing respectfully towards the sidelines.

"It's just my job."

The elder slowly shook his head, then looked up at the spectator stands.

"Is there anyone else willing to accept her challenge?"

[The candidates for sainthood all lowered their heads, and some had even quietly left the scene after witnessing you kill that girl.]

"In that case, Ye Jinghong is officially promoted to Holy Maiden of our Joyful Union Sect today."

As the words fell, the elder flicked his sleeve, and a pink streak of light shot through the air, slowly hovering in front of you.

As the light faded, a pale pink token was revealed, clearly inscribed with the words "Jing Hong" (惊鸿).

"With this token, even if you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, you can choose a residence on the Sacred Lotus, but only within the outer area."

Having said that, he said no more and slowly left the square.

After you retrieved your token, a dark figure rushed into the arena, skillfully grabbing your skirt and quickly climbing onto your shoulder, affectionately nuzzling your neck.

A gentle smile curved your lips as you softly stroked the little black fluffy head.

[Then, you lifted your skirt with one hand and walked gracefully off the field, a far cry from the ruthless demeanor you had displayed during the battle.]

[Leaving behind only a group of cultivators staring longingly at your retreating figure, today's battle has thoroughly spread your name among the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect.]

Zi Sha's gaze lingered in the direction you left, then she turned to glance at her nephew, who was about to get up and leave. Her slender fingertips gently stroked her chin as she fell into deep thought...

【…】

The giant crimson lotus was surrounded by a hazy mist, creating an atmosphere as if one had stepped into a fairyland.

At this moment, you are leading three or four disciples dressed in inner sect attire, walking slowly through the area.

These are the followers you randomly picked.

[According to sect rules, Golden Core cultivators are allowed to bring a hundred servants when entering the Sacred Lotus, and you enjoy the same privilege.]

[You were just too lazy to put in the effort to choose the right people, so you just randomly picked a few efficient ones to keep around.]

The entire crimson lotus is divided into three layers. The outer layer is the residence of Golden Core cultivators, the middle layer is the territory of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and the center, where spiritual energy is most abundant, is a forbidden area where Nascent Soul Great Powers cultivate in seclusion.

As you walk along this main road, the palace complex in the outer area gradually unfolds before your eyes.

Your gaze swept across the area indifferently, neither deliberately choosing remote, isolated spots nor the most grand locations.

Finally, you stopped and stood before an unassuming palace.

The palace was entirely constructed of jade, with two emerald bamboos shimmering with a faint, ethereal light standing before its entrance, exuding an elegant and serene atmosphere, yet remaining understated.

"Little Black, do you like it here?"

You reached out and gently pinched the little fox peeking out from under your shoulder.

【"Meow... Waaah~"】

[Little Black instinctively let out a meow, then, as if remembering its current identity, it abruptly changed the last syllable into a soft, fox-like whimper.]

You rolled your eyes at it, then with a slight thought, the token floated out of your sleeve, subtly resonating with the plaque swaying above the door.

【Buzz~】

With a soft chime, and amidst a swirling light, the three characters "Jinghong Hall" slowly appeared on the plaque. At the same time, the protective array surrounding the hall quietly dissipated.

You turned around, looked at the few people behind you who were sitting stiffly, and calmly gave the order:

"This place is rich in spiritual energy. You should cultivate peacefully within the hall. Without my permission, you are not to approach the main hall even a step."

Upon hearing this, the group's faces lit up with ecstatic joy, and they quickly bowed deeply in unison.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

You nodded slightly, said no more, and with a turn of your body, transformed into a streak of light and sped straight towards the main hall.

Pushing open the heavy palace doors, you step inside. The first thing you feel is the richer spiritual energy, far exceeding what you experienced in your cave dwelling at the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect.

[Tianxuan Sword Sect's dislike level +1.]

The hall was spacious and quiet, with a large, azure-blue spiritual pool prominently displayed in the very center.

[Your face lit up with joy, and you quickly walked to the edge of the pool, your fingertips gently brushing across the water's surface, creating ripples of deep blue.]

This pool of water is no ordinary spiritual spring; it seems to contain many rare medicinal herbs that promote tranquility and calm the mind.

[Tsk~ This is the place where cultivators should live!]

[Tianxuan Sword Sect's dislike level +2.]

You remove your outer garment and slowly immerse yourself in the pool. The warm spiritual liquid instantly envelops your entire body, and you feel every pore on your body opening up.

You sighed contentedly, leaned against the poolside, and closed your eyes.

【"Meow~"】

[Little Black was sprawled out in the spiritual liquid, making contented "gurgling" sounds in its throat.]

In this rare, leisurely atmosphere, night slowly descends.

【Buzz~】

A soft rustling sound pierced the air, and you abruptly opened your eyes to find a woman in a purple dress hovering about three zhang in front of you, observing you with keen interest.

【Master Ziyan!】

A cultivator's divine sense cannot be kept running constantly, because exploring with the divine sense is like continuously downloading a massive amount of images into the mind. If it were to be kept running all day, it would greatly deplete one's mental energy.

Therefore, the suspicions of those disciples within the sect who believe that high-level cultivators constantly use their divine sense to cover the entire sect and spy on others' privacy are utter nonsense.

You paused for a perfectly timed moment, as if just recovering from your shock, then quickly rose and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, senior."

【"Whoosh~"】

[A whooshing sound rang out, and the next moment, a sweet, cloying fragrance suddenly filled your nostrils. The figure in purple had already appeared before you as silently as a ghost.]

Immediately afterwards, a powerful divine sense poured out, completely enveloping you...
