A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

Hearing the whispers around her, Su Chun felt a little helpless. She hadn't wanted to be so high-profile, but she had no choice. If she didn't use her trump card, she would be eliminated, so she had to do it this way.

Wei Tianya's previously calm expression finally showed a slight change. He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Su Chun's figure.

"This little girl is quite interesting. The Ancient Sword Sect has produced a freak. She actually managed to cultivate to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage with her Five Elements Spiritual Roots. Could the legends be true?"

The three Nascent Soul ancestors of the Ancient Sword Sect, Xuan Jianzi, Qingyang Daoist, and Huoling Fairy, were overjoyed, their faces beaming with undisguised smiles.

Xuan Jianzi stroked his beard and laughed, "Good, good, good. We don't need to worry about the Hidden Sword Peak lineage anymore. It seems that among the disciples of our Ancient Sword Sect participating in the duel, the Hidden Sword Peak will take the lead."

Disciples from all factions of the Ancient Sword Sect were sent out, but their performances were clearly not as outstanding as those of the Hidden Sword Peak disciples; they were all just average.

The cultivators who were further away didn't know what had happened that had caused the powerful spectators around them to discuss it, but they knew that someone must have performed exceptionally well, attracting the attention of the onlookers.

Su Chun looked at the spot where the female cultivator from the Shadow Pavilion had disappeared, let out a long sigh of relief, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The battle just now, though seemingly easy, was actually extremely dangerous. She used almost every means at her disposal, and the Purple Thunder Pearl was completely destroyed. She couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

She felt no joy at the victory, because an ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator would have almost no chance of winning against a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator; in other words, she was a special mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Damn it! Let's retreat. These people from the Ancient Sword Sect are too tough to deal with."

Leng Shuang hadn't expected her junior sister to be eliminated, so she had no choice but to retreat. The remaining bandits then turned into shadows and fled into the distance, no longer entangled with Lu Yi and the others.

"Junior Sister, you are truly amazing. You dared to fight against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator while only being in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and even eliminated him. If this gets out, all the young cultivators in the entire Tiannan Continent will be outshone by you."

Peng Zhan and the others gathered around excitedly.

"Yes, junior sister, your combat power is incredible. I, your senior brother, am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to you."

Guo Cheng echoed, saying that they could only suppress cultivators of the same level from the Shadow Pavilion; it was practically impossible for them to defeat them.

"Alright, let's change the subject. This place is no place to stay. Let's leave quickly to avoid being targeted by other teams."

Lu Yi quickly offered a reminder.

The battle with the Shadow Pavilion just now caused quite a stir and must have attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Everyone nodded; what they needed most right now was to find a place to restore their magic power and condition.

“We’ll continue toward the center of the valley, where the treasures are more valuable, and the closer we get to the center, the fewer people there are, making it relatively safer.”

Su Chun suggested.

The outer perimeter was quite chaotic, but the inner perimeter, where cultivators were generally quite powerful and were all vying for treasures, meant that they wouldn't attack anyone they saw indiscriminately.

After a brief rest, the group of seven sped off toward the central area of ​​the Heavenly Beast Valley.

Along the way, they indeed encountered many cultivators who came after hearing the commotion. Although they saw that Su Chun and the others looked somewhat disheveled, they all had sharp eyes and a calm demeanor, so most of them chose to take a detour and dared not provoke them easily.

During the flight, Su Chun took the time to consume pills to restore his magical power and spiritual consciousness.

She could clearly feel that her cultivation level had significantly improved after that intense battle.

"It seems that actual combat is indeed the fastest way to improve one's cultivation level."

Su Chun thought to herself.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the central area of ​​the Heavenly Beast Valley.

The environment here is more complex, and the malevolent aura and traces of battle are more pronounced.

Clearly, this is the true core battlefield, where only the most powerful teams are qualified to compete for the most valuable treasures.

Su Chun scanned the area with his divine sense and found that the number of cultivators here was indeed much smaller, but each one exuded a very powerful aura, at least at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and some even had auras that were no weaker than Lu Yi's.

"Be careful, the people here are not to be trifled with."

Lu Yi whispered a reminder, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Su Chun nodded, raising her divine sense to its limit, and carefully probing the aura of the treasures around her.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pointed in the northwest direction.

"There's a strong fluctuation of magical artifact over there, and it's of a high grade."

Everyone perked up and immediately flew in the direction Su Chun pointed.

The closer they got, the clearer and stronger the fluctuations of that magical artifact became.

"They are magic treasures for Core Formation stage cultivators, and there's more than one."

Lu Yi's face showed excitement.

Soon, they came to a place of jagged rocks. On one of the rocks, three magical treasures that radiated brilliant spiritual light floated: a heavy greatsword that shimmered with an earthy yellow light, a blue mirror with flowing water ripples, and a jade slip that exuded a strong wood attribute aura.

All three magical treasures emitted fluctuations no less powerful than the previous earth-attribute defensive magical treasure, clearly indicating that they were all Core Formation stage magical treasures.

"Three magic treasures for Core Formation stage cultivators."

Peng Zhan gasped in surprise, his eyes widening in shock. Even he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the three Core Formation stage magic treasures at such close range, even Lu Yi and the others, with their firm wills, couldn't help but feel a tremor in their hearts.

However, several groups of cultivators had already gathered around the stone platform, and they were facing each other warily, clearly all wanting to obtain the three magical treasures on the platform.

These teams are all very strong overall.

Several teams, each led by a Pseudo-Core Formation Realm cultivator and several late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, with the rest being mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, all of whom were formidable.

Although the Hidden Sword Peak members were not lacking in resources, they were slightly inferior to them.

They had clearly been locked in a stalemate for some time, neither daring to make a move easily, both waiting for the best opportunity, or rather, waiting for other teams to arrive, hoping to reap the benefits.

The arrival of Su Chun and others undoubtedly disrupted the balance of the situation.

The eyes of several groups of people instantly focused on Lu Yi and his group, their gazes filled with vigilance and hostility.

"Another group is coming; they're from the Ancient Sword Sect."

"Lu Yi, they actually managed to break in here too?"

Among these teams, there was another group that was also from the Ancient Sword Sect, specifically disciples of the Heavenly Sword Peak.

Lu Yi's expression darkened slightly. He could sense that these teams were all extremely strong, none of them weaker than the Shadow Pavilion teams he had encountered before.

"Junior sister, what should we do? Should we retreat first?"

Lu Yi felt that although the treasure was good, it probably wouldn't be so easy to get his hands on.

Su Chun shook her head, her eyes fixed firmly on the three magical treasures on the stone platform.

"Withdraw? Why withdraw? We've come all this way, are we just going to leave empty-handed?"

"But the people here are too strong, we..."

"So what if they're strong? They're not weak either. Besides, they don't dare to make a move, so we have a chance."

Su Chun's gaze swept over the teams present, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

Chapter 102 Fishing in Troubled Waters

"They are now in a dilemma. Whoever makes the first move will become the target of everyone's criticism. We just need to wait patiently until they are both exhausted, and then we can reap the benefits."

Lu Yi and the others' eyes lit up, realizing that Su Chun's words made sense.

But in fact, all the cultivators gathered here thought the same thing, and they all felt that someone would be unable to resist making a move and become the target of everyone's attacks.

“Junior Sister is right. Let’s wait here and see how long they can hold out. Anyway, we’ve already gained quite a few benefits. If we can get these three treasures, this duel will be worthwhile.”

The low-grade magic weapon for Core Formation stage cultivators is already the best item in this duel.

So, Su Chun and the others found a secluded spot, hid themselves, and quietly observed the situation on the field.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere on the field grew increasingly tense. The cultivators from several teams showed signs of impatience.

"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the duel will be over."

Finally, a member of the Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator team couldn't hold back any longer. He snorted coldly and summoned his magic weapon, a long whip crackling with lightning, which he lashed out at the three magic weapons on the stone platform.

The first to make a move was Zhao Lie, a pseudo-core cultivator from the Blazing Sun Sect of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. His lightning-patterned whip, like a living dragon, crackled with electricity as it aimed straight at the earth-attribute giant sword in the center of the stone platform.

This person had a violent temper. After a long stalemate, he finally lost his temper and his lightning whip tore the air apart, leaving charred marks.

"Trying to steal something? No way."

The blue-robed cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Vast Ocean Pavilion shouted sharply, his folding fan unfolding into a towering wave, layer upon layer of water curtain blocking the lightning whip, while simultaneously manipulating the water flow to sweep towards the blue treasure mirror.

In an instant, seven or eight teams launched their attacks simultaneously, and various magical treasures emitted a burst of spiritual light that soared into the sky.

The burly men of the Heavenly Alliance's Giant Spirit Gate activated their earth-elemental divine powers, turning the entire rocky beach into a swamp.

Disciples of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's Ten Thousand Poison Valley scattered poisonous powder across the sky, and the faint shadows of poisonous insects could be seen in the green mist.

Even the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect's Heavenly Sword Peak formed a sword formation, their sword light crisscrossing as they forced back the cultivators who approached the stone platform.

"Good heavens, this commotion is ten times more exciting than the attack on Shadow Pavilion just now."

"Pay close attention to the sword formation at Tianjian Peak. They're trying to take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters. Also, those guys in black in the southwest corner—the Shadow Pavilion people came this way when they retreated. They might be hiding nearby. We need to be careful of their retaliation."

The situation on the field became increasingly chaotic.

Zhao Lie of the Lieyang Sect was trapped by the water curtain of the Hanhai Pavilion with his thunder whip. He roared and urged his essence blood. Suddenly, several feet of blood-red lightning shot up from the thunder whip, which actually tore through the water curtain and wrapped around the hilt of the giant sword.

But at that moment, the poison powder in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons suddenly surged, and dozens of poison-quenched flying needles shot out from the green mist, attacking the cultivators of the Blazing Sun Sect and the Vast Ocean Pavilion at the same time.

"mean."

Two angry shouts rang out at the same time, and the water curtain and lightning instantly turned to defense, while the giant sword that had just been obtained floated back to the stone platform.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, the Heavenly Sword Peak sword formation suddenly erupted, with seven sword lights forming a sword formation. At the cost of two disciples, they forcibly took away the emerald jade slip.

The reason they acted at this time was that there was less than half an hour left before the three-hour period ended, and if they didn't seize it now, it would be difficult to take it from others later.

"Don't think about it."

Several attacks immediately converged on the disciples of Tianjian Peak, and the jade slip they had just obtained was blasted away, drawing a green arc of light in the air.

"Jade slip."

Someone shouted, and several figures flew toward the jade slip, attempting to intercept it.

The situation on the field was completely out of control, and everyone was in a frenzy of fighting.

In order to seize the jade slip in the air, as well as the remaining giant sword and treasure mirror on the stone platform, several teams engaged in a fierce battle!

Zhao Lie of the Lieyang Sect swept his lightning whip across the land, the crimson lightning like the scythe of death, causing men and horses to fall wherever it passed.
