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

"It's said to be phoenix blood, but it should actually be a young blue phoenix."

Upon hearing Liu Guanzhi's explanation, you breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of regret also appeared on your face.

Seeing you like this, his tone was somewhat reassuring.

"Although the Azure Phoenix is ​​not as powerful as the Azure Dragon, it is still a very strong clan, and it should also have a blood connection with the Azure Dragon clan, otherwise you wouldn't have sensed it."

"Then wouldn't I be able to upgrade my physique by using the essence and blood of the Gu God?"

You open your eyes wide and stare at him expectantly.

【"no."】

Liu Guanzhi ignored your attempt to be cute and poured cold water on it without any mercy.

"What do you take the Azure Phoenix bloodline for? The essence blood from those Gu worms is trash to you. If you want to upgrade your physique, you'll have to go after that Azure Phoenix."

"Where?!"

A fierce flame instantly ignited in your eyes.

"Headquarters of the Toad Poison Palace."

【"......"

You suddenly plummeted downwards, landing halfway down the mountainside.

"Hurry up, they're running off after getting the Gu worms."

[What a joke! You wouldn't even dare to provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator these days, especially one from a sect with a Star-Guiding Realm Venerable... Are you going to throw your life away?]

But... that wretched Toad Poison Palace dared to steal my Azure Phoenix! I will retrieve it sooner or later!

[Liu Guanzhi nodded slightly, just as he was about to activate the formation, when his expression suddenly changed.]

"Better late than early. After all these years, I never expected to encounter someone plotting against my Toad Poison Palace in such a remote place."

A casual chuckle rang out from above, and a terrifying aura suddenly descended.

[Nascent Soul True Lord!]

[Your expression changed several times. How did you end up encountering a Nascent Soul True Monarch in a place like this?]

But ultimately, even in the simulation you've only been to this place once or twice, so it's normal to run into it by chance... what a load of rubbish!

Damn it!

[In this godforsaken place, he actually bumped into a Nascent Soul True Monarch, someone an ordinary cultivator would never encounter in their entire life.]

[Your luck has always been good, so it must be Liu Guanzhi's fault!]

As soon as those words were spoken, the sky above changed dramatically.

The once clear sky was instantly shrouded in a dark green, poisonous cloud.

The poisonous cloud hung heavily over Mount Qingshui, completely blocking out the sunlight, and the surroundings instantly turned as dark as dusk.

【"Splash~"】

[Amidst a churning sound of billowing clouds, the poisonous cloud seemed to be torn apart from the middle by some unseen force.]

A figure enveloped in dark green spiritual light, exuding an unparalleled sense of oppression, slowly stepped out into the air.

Under this terrifying pressure, you felt your bones cracking under the strain, breathing became incredibly difficult, and your golden core seemed frozen, your spiritual energy circulation instantly stagnating.

The chasm between different realms manifested itself in the most visceral form of despair at this moment.

[The opponent didn't even make a move; a mere wisp of pressure was enough to cripple most of your fighting strength.]

"I am curious, what exactly do you two Foundation Establishment stage ants intend to do here?"

A moment later, a completely emotionless voice emanated from within the spiritual light.

You and Liu Guanzhi exchanged a quick glance, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes:

[They've run away!]

【"Heh~"】

A soft laugh echoed again from within the flash of light.

"Don't bother, I am the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect of the Toad Poison Palace..."

【"boom!!!"】

An even more terrifying pressure suddenly descended, causing the two of you to instantly lose your balance and plummet from mid-air, crashing heavily into the ground and creating two deep craters.

【Buzz~】

A gentle breeze swept by, clearing away the dust and smoke that filled the air.

The figure appeared above you two as if teleported, looking down at you with indifferent eyes.

"A Nascent Soul Peak cultivator."

The dense, dark green aura slowly faded, finally revealing his true appearance.

It was a face as withered and emaciated as a dried-up corpse.

His pale skin clung tightly to his cheekbones, his eye sockets were deep-set, and his narrow eyes held no trace of life, making him appear like a living, dried-up corpse.

[Oh no, peak Nascent Soul stage!]

[Still a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator who looks very much like a villain!]

Even if Lao Liu were to use cheat codes at this point, he probably still wouldn't be able to win.

You swallowed hard, ready to activate "Rewind" at any moment.

[Liu Guanzhi, standing to the side, had a gloomy expression, his hands tightly clenched in his sleeves, seemingly plotting something.]

However, you still want to make one last attempt... After all, you should save your "rewind" opportunities if possible, as there's no benefit to be gained in the current situation, and it would be a huge loss to waste them!

So you turned your head and looked at him with a wronged expression.

"Old Liu, say something!"

Liu Guanzhi glanced at you with a complicated expression. To be honest, this situation truly seemed like a bolt from the blue.

He had lived in the Qingshui Divine Mountain area for countless years and had never heard of a Nascent Soul cultivator descending upon it. This meant that the other party was merely passing by by chance, but they just happened to stumble upon them.

With his current level of cultivation, which has only been restored after ten years, he is simply no match for an opponent of this caliber.

It seems...

[Liu Guanzhi tightened his grip on the item in his hand, glanced at your profile again, and a rare hint of hesitation appeared on his face.]

"None of you are willing to speak? Fine, then you may all die."

The hoarse voice didn't sound urgent, but a terrifying force, capable of destroying the world for you, had already descended upon you, pressing down upon you.

Damn it!

You cursed under your breath, just as you were about to silently chant "rewind," when suddenly you felt your arms go empty.

【"Meow!!!"】

A sharp, clear meow suddenly rang out, instantly ripping apart the terrifying attack that was aimed at the head and neck.

Immediately afterwards, an even more immense pressure descended upon the world, as if everything had been paused, plunging the surroundings into a suffocating silence.

【"Meow!!!"】

[After a second, more intense meow, the sky suddenly churned with wind and clouds, instantly dispersing the thick, dark green poisonous cloud.]

【Buzz~】

A blindingly bright light suddenly exploded before my eyes.

A gigantic, unfathomable cat phantom has descended upon this world.

The next moment, the illusory figure completely merged with the light before them, instantly transforming into a colossal creature tens of meters long, its entire body jet black without a single blemish.

[He was surrounded by a dense spiritual light, and his once clear and innocent cat-like eyes had now transformed into two fierce, blood-golden pupils.]

【"boom!"】

He looked down at the Nascent Soul stage monster in mid-air, and with a single step, a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator swept out in all directions.

At this moment, the cat is the sole protagonist in this world!
