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

[At this moment, your figure stands out prominently in the reflection of the giant water mirror in the square.]

Alone with your sword, you move calmly through the dense forest; wherever you go, none can withstand a single blow.

On such a bloody and brutal battlefield, your leisurely stroll is not out of place, but rather all the more chilling.

The weak struggle to survive, the strong fight valiantly, while the king only needs to plunder.

[Dressed in red, your exceptional figure perfectly embodies this aura, like a rose blooming solely for slaughter.]

However, your practiced movements as you retrieve the storage bag slightly detracted from the overall aesthetic.

"What does the gentleman think of this woman?"

On the high platform, Zi Yan gazed at the scene reflected in the water curtain with surprise, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes.

"He's a genius."

The black-robed youth remained expressionless; with his keen eyesight, he could easily discern the true extent of your cultivation from your demeanor.

However, as a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he had lived far too long and had seen countless so-called geniuses.

So what if you're a genius?

Having successfully formed his Nascent Soul with three spiritual roots and even advanced further, he wasn't so superstitious about innate talent.

The path of cultivation, defying the heavens, cannot be paved solely by "talent."

"May I have some further contact with her?"

The young man in black robes was about to casually agree when his expression suddenly changed slightly.

He glanced discreetly at the imperial envoys to his right, then nodded slightly.

【Don't get close to this woman, or I won't be able to protect you.】

Upon hearing the telepathic message, Zi Sha's smile froze for a moment. While inwardly filled with doubt and surprise, she had no choice but to smile and agree in a seemingly agreeable manner.

In a corner of the plaza, Bai Youyou stared intently at the water curtain, exclaiming repeatedly in surprise.

[It's such a pity that Aunt Qian didn't join the army; she's practically a role model for female cultivators. In the end, she reverted to calling her "Sister Qianqian," and even asked her father if he felt she had held the family back...]

[He finally calmed down after receiving a sharp tap on the forehead.]

But the girl's excitement remained undiminished. She had never seen Aunt Qian like this before; after all, in her presence, you had always only shown your gentle and demure side.

Even Yang Yan, who is usually reserved, occasionally showed a look of amazement.

As a fellow Qi Refining cultivator, he could sense the vast difference between himself and her, but unfortunately, she was already a master...

【! ! ! 】

Yang Yan was startled by his own thoughts. He glanced guiltily at his master and Bai Youyou, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look again.

【...】

[You, inside the secret realm, are unaware of the outside world's situation. Of course, even if you did know, you wouldn't care, since the spirit stones in the system space are almost piled up into a small mountain.]

It's already hard enough to control the upward curve of my lips, so how can I have the mind to bother with those mundane matters?

[Until the battlefield situation changed again, the sheer number of peak Qi Refining cultivators you slaughtered, belonging to different factions, finally attracted considerable attention.]

"Witch!"

Dozens of cultivators are closing in on you, ready to attack.

Such large-scale slaughter has both advantages and disadvantages. But for sword cultivators, as long as their state of mind is not affected by the killing intent, it is the best tonic.

[At this moment, you're completely engrossed in the battle, and that certain regret stemming from your transmigration and gender reassignment is being gradually eroded by something.]

It's as if through this method, you rediscover your true self—forever passionate, forever vibrant.

"Hehe... Hahaha!!!"

You burst into laughter without realizing it; the feeling of mental clarity sent shivers down your spine.

[If it weren't for the limitations of your current realm, your swordsmanship would likely have reached another level. But with your foundation already established, the rest is simply a matter of time. At the same time, it seems something is emerging from its cocoon and being reborn.]

[You can't help but wonder if you are truly a born genius of the path of slaughter? Or perhaps... the very essence of an extraterrestrial demon?]

The surrounding cultivators were stunned by this sudden aura, and for a moment none of them dared to step forward.

Seeing this, you closed your eyes and exhaled deeply. When you opened them again, a bloodthirsty glint flickered in your long, narrow phoenix eyes.

"Neither worshipping the Three Pure Ones nor questioning Heaven, the souls lost beneath the sword are the path to enlightenment. Though countless bones form steps, the heart remains undiminished; with a single thought of slaughter, one ascends to immortality!"

A profound Daoist aura flowed around you. A slight smile played on your lips as you raised your arms and proclaimed in a clear voice:

"Today... I ask you all to help me cultivate the seed of enlightenment!"

The second condition for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is to forge a Dao Embryo, and the prerequisite for achieving a Dao Embryo is to plant a Dao Seed.

The essence of Tao is naturally formed!

At this moment, you seem to be divinely inspired, needing no secret techniques or methods; you clearly know how to proceed with each step.

[You don't want to care about any scheming or worries right now.]

【kill!】

Without further hesitation, you plunged into the crowd once more like a streak of red lightning.

The once clear sword intent seemed to have been stained with blood, transforming into streaks of pale red sword light that shot out, sweeping away everything in their path like autumn leaves in the wind.

Limbs and gore were scattered everywhere.

As the figures who had been closing in fell one by one, an eerie silence fell over the entire battlefield.

Almost everyone stared in terror and disbelief at the demonic red figure in the forest.

The square outside also fell into a brief silence.

The black-robed youth's fingertips, which had been tapping on the armrest, paused. For the first time, his eyes, which had been nonchalant since his entrance, looked directly at the water curtain.

[A seed of the Dao of Slaughter?]

[To be able to plant a Dao seed at the peak of Qi Refining... that's quite a feat compared to when I was at it.]

【"Sir~ Is it really impossible to touch her?"】

Zi Yu was deeply moved. With such beauty and talent, it would be a great pity if she didn't join the Joyful Union Sect.

"No need to think about it anymore. Someone in the palace has given the order that no one is allowed to touch her for the time being."

The man in black robes glanced at her sideways, then lazily looked away again.

【Clang~】

[Within the secret realm, the sound of a weapon hitting the ground broke the tense atmosphere.]

"She's a devil! She's a devil!"

[While cultivators of Qi are indeed far more powerful than ordinary people, they are ultimately just stronger humans. Once fear begins to spread, chaos becomes inevitable.]

When the first person chooses to turn and run, the team that was once fighting you to the death crumbles in the blink of an eye.

"That won't do."

[As you watch the crowd scatter and flee for their lives, a large red umbrella appears before you with a flick of your wrist.]

【Flaming Umbrella!】

Although you cannot fully refine and control this magical artifact yet, it is far superior to Liu Qingyue's in your hands at this moment.

[Fire serpents soared into the sky, instantly weaving into a gigantic net that almost completely enveloped the battlefield.]

"Witch, are you going to kill us all?"

"Indeed, how is such behavior any different from the demonic path?"

[Feeling the power of that fiery net, someone is trying to attack you from a moral high ground.]

[At this moment, the veil on your face has long since disappeared, revealing a flawless face splattered with blood. Far from looking disheveled, this adds a touch of alluring charm to your appearance.]

Feeling the increasingly solidified energy within your body, you chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"You should feel honored to be stepping stones on my path to promotion!"
