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

"The Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus?"

Han Xuan, who was following behind you, exclaimed softly.

[Huh? When did this kid run off to the back again?]

"Does this item resemble yours, fellow Daoist?"

Seeing the burning passion in his eyes, you felt a pang of emotion and quietly moved to sit beside him.

"A supreme treasure of the soul!"

Han Xuan's voice was somewhat strained, and his tone was exceptionally low.

"This item can cause a cultivator's soul to undergo a complete transformation, so much so that it's no exaggeration to say it can help someone ascend to the heavens in one step."

[After so many simulations, you're quite familiar with Han Xuan's personality, but this is the first time you've seen him lose his composure like this.]

"Then what are we waiting for?"

[You moved, about to leap out, but suddenly your feet left the ground.]

[It wasn't flying, it was being lifted up.]

You turn around and see that the kid has grabbed you by the back of the neck.

[That's outrageous! Once I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I'll use my Nascent Soul Dharma Form to humiliate everyone who's crossed me!]

【"open!"】

You glared at him angrily.

Han Xuan then realized what he was doing, gave an embarrassed smile, and immediately released his grip.

"This Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus is not yet fully grown; harvesting and using it now will greatly reduce its effectiveness."

Before you could react, he quickly added:

"Furthermore, to fully refine this item, a special secret technique is required."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist possesses this secret technique?"

"Hmm... a lucky find."

Han Xuan scratched his head, his words carrying a hint of ambiguity.

You looked at him with a strange expression, thinking to yourself, "Just as I thought."

[If you had come in alone earlier, even if you had successfully harvested the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus, you would probably have ruined this opportunity.]

"Fellow Daoist, what should we do?"

You moved a little closer, a hint of anticipation in your eyes.

Han Xuan awkwardly took a few steps back again, and you followed suit...

Just as they retreated to the corner, a sharp slash suddenly emerged from the shadows, its cold light gleaming.

It seems you two were prepared in advance.

Han Xuan ducked low, gliding past the slash, a golden rune forming at his fingertips, which he then flicked back into the shadows.

[You stood motionless, and the next moment, lightning erupted around you, fine arcs of electricity weaving into a thin shield of light.]

The strike collided with the lightning, producing a muffled hum, before quickly dissipating.

【"ah!!!"】

A piercing scream erupted from the shadows, followed by a cacophony of footsteps approaching from all directions.

You look up and see the same group of people who came in earlier, now surrounding you both from all sides.

"Who do we have here? Just two clueless little mice."

The leader stepped forward slowly, his soul energy incredibly profound, and his aura spread out without any concealment, clearly indicating that he had reached the Golden Core stage.

That person is a genuine Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Your heart sank.

I initially thought they were just a rabble, but it turns out they're a dragon lurking in shallow waters.

[No wonder they knew your whereabouts in advance and set up an ambush at this corner; it seems you were discovered from the very beginning.]

"Fellow Daoist... what should we do?"

You frowned slightly, and quickly stepped back behind Han Xuan.

Han Xuan: "..."

Looking at the petite woman, he sighed inwardly; even retreating behind her seemed pointless.

"Senior, we can give up the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus, and we can also teach you the secret technique. Would you please let us leave?"

He stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

You couldn't help but secretly praise yourself.

[Good lad, your attitude towards senior cultivators is exactly the same.]

【"Can."】

The leader raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone no longer as aggressive as before.

"If you hand over the secret technique first, I can guarantee you two will leave."

Upon hearing this, Han Xuan's expression darkened. He knew that this matter was unlikely to end well.

You clearly see his fingers twitch slightly, hidden in his sleeve, and at the same time, you hear a voice transmission in your ear:

"Fellow Daoist, I will use a binding technique to temporarily imprison that Nascent Soul cultivator. You find an opportunity to eliminate the two cultivators on the right, and we will break through while we have the chance."

"Okay~"

You obediently agreed.

"What? You don't want to?"

Seeing that Han Xuan did not answer, the leader's face darkened. He then slightly raised his right hand, and all the surrounding cultivators stepped forward, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

"Of course not, I will pass on the secret technique to you, senior."

Han Xuan slowly shook his head, a fawning smile forcing onto his face.

The man scrutinized him for a moment, his expression softening slightly, a smile appearing on his lips.

Just as he was about to step forward, a golden light enveloped him.

"You're asking for it!"

The leader roared, his spiritual power exploding, and the immense pressure of a Golden Core cultivator instantly swept outwards.

But the inspiration had already faded.

In an instant, it transformed into a dense net of runes, enveloping him with lightning speed.

"Let's do it!"

Han Xuan's face turned pale, and he shouted sharply.

You moved.

Instead of attacking the two Foundation Establishment cultivators on the right, you brought two fingers together and gestured lightly in front of your forehead, unleashing a powerful pressure that suddenly descended upon this small area.

【Buzz~】

A massive hand of spiritual energy slammed down forward.

The cultivator trapped in the golden cage paled in shock; his once clear soul was tinged with red, and a soul power far surpassing that of a Golden Core cultivator erupted forth.

【"Bang!"】

In an instant, the cage was violently broken open, and just as he was about to dodge, he found that the attack had completely locked onto him.

Not only can't I dodge it, I can't even return to my physical body.

【"boom!"】

The next moment, a dull rumble subsided.

【"No!!!"】

His soul twisted violently, letting out a final, unwilling roar, before crumbling apart inch by inch, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that slowly vanished into the void.

A strange, deathly silence suddenly fell over the cave, and the group of cultivators were momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Han Xuan stared blankly at the slowly dissipating patch of light, his expression vacant.

[A powerful Nascent Soul cultivator met his end in such a frustrating way.]

[It's truly pathetic and lamentable...]

...
