In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

Not long after Di Qingci left, he saw a huge python, as thick as a water bucket, with its head raised high and its tongue flicking out. It was a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.

With a flick of its tail, a whooshing sound rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the python lashed out with its tail.

In an instant, Di Qingci leaped into the air, empowered by the Flame War Phoenix, his body flashing with red light.

The python was cut in two, its blood splattering everywhere. It twitched a few times on the ground before stopping.

The color of the Asura Sword became even more vibrant. Di Qingci fought his way through, and no demonic beast he saw escaped. At the same time, his cultivation advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

A barrier appeared in front of them, preventing Di Qingci from passing through.

She didn't know any formations: "War Phoenix, it seems we can't get through here, we'll have to find another place."

Although Yan Zhanhuang is a sword spirit, it once followed its master through countless battles and had seen everything.

"There must be some kind of restriction here. I'll go take a look."

Although Yan Zhanhuang didn't know these things either, he was knowledgeable: "Attack here."

Di Qingci gripped the Shura Sword tightly, and the sword energy rippled outwards, sending countless sword lights hurtling forward.

"Boom"

A loud bang followed, and the object shook violently.

Yan Zhanhuang said, "Quickly, attack this spot at close range, and then you go in quickly."

Di Qingci's spiritual power surged, and he pierced through the void with a single sword strike.

A small hole appeared instantly and was healing. Remembering Yan Zhanhuang's words, Di Qingci shrank his body and rushed into it.

The place was teeming with life, and Di Qingci excitedly began to run.

"War Phoenix, look! These are all treasures, some over 100,000 years old, and they haven't been discovered yet."

Starry Glazed Fruit, Mystic Ice Jade Flower; Heavenly Pivot Divine Mushroom, Yin-Yang Longevity Lotus; Heaven and Earth Creation Fruit, Immortal Spirit Tribulation-Breaking Flower...

"We've struck gold! Any one of these spiritual plants is a treasure that others would fight over!"

Yan Zhanhuang finally smiled: "Quickly put these away. With these things, once you find all the treasures, forging the Immortal Demon Chaos Body will be no problem for you."

Di Qingci was extremely excited, like a happy little bee, flitting among the medicinal herbs, humming a little tune, constantly picking the older ones and keeping the younger ones.

After picking the spiritual plants, Di Qingci didn't mind being tricked before. She would be happy to do it a few more times.

Thinking of the treasure the system mentioned, Di Qingci didn't delay any longer. There was nothing left here, so he immediately left.

A few days later, Di Qingci happened to run into Pei Jinshu. She was elegant and light-footed, as if she were walking on clouds.

Their eyes met instantly, like deep, still lake water.

Pei Jinshu chuckled lightly: "Fellow Daoist, are you also alone?"

Di Qingci laughed as well: "Yes, I wonder where everyone has gone."

Pei Jinshu had no idea that the person in front of her was someone she hated with a passion; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the leisure to chat with her.

"This secret realm is vast, and I haven't encountered anyone along the way. Fellow Daoist, which direction do you intend to go?"

Di Qingci had sensed that Pei Jinshu was somewhat different before, and the way Feng Ruxue and the others looked at Pei Jinshu last time was also strange.

If I'm not mistaken, Pei Jinshu is most likely the female lead in the book.

Even if she's not the female lead, she's still an important supporting female character. Following her might lead us to the Ghost Sea.

“When I went to the Ghost Sea, before I entered, my master told me that there were treasures in the Ghost Sea.”

Pei Jinshu's expression shifted slightly. She was also going to the Ghost Sea, having received a message from the family elders earlier.

There are many opportunities inside, but it is also very dangerous. Having another person means more safety.

“It seems we are truly destined to meet. I am also going to this place. Why don’t we travel together? My name is Pei Jinshu.”

Di Qingci also introduced himself as "Di Jinghua".

Pei Jinshu was puzzled. The surname Di was rare, and he had never heard of any famous geniuses with it. However, there was a family with the surname Di in Lingyu Holy Continent.

They existed for tens of thousands of years, but were wiped out before, and even the imperial family's assets were divided up by several major forces.

Then I remembered that one of my fellow disciples seemed to have the surname Di, but he was a real nuisance.

The two chatted: "I see you're here, so you must know the route."

Di Qingci's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this was just ahead?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that. Either she was testing me, or what I said earlier was true. "System, what do you think?"

The system couldn't even get excited when it saw the female lead: "She's right ahead. You'll definitely find her if you follow her."

Remember the treasures I obtained this time, write them down for me so I can recover them.

Di Qingci verbally agreed and then replied to Pei Jinshu.

"The information I received is just ahead, otherwise I wouldn't be here. It seems you are too, fellow Daoist?"

This time, Pei Jinshu had no doubts: "Yes, let's go quickly."

The two figures moved like lightning, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Upon arriving at the Ghost Sea, the scene was indeed eerie. Pei Jinshu took out a long sword that gleamed coldly: "Fellow Daoist, let's go in and take a look."

The two then disappeared into the mist, where they could barely see anything at close range.

Pei Jinshu felt a little scared, sensing that the place was eerie.

Every now and then a cold wind would blow, rustling the leaves as if demons were howling.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't we lead him along? I'm afraid he might get lost."

Di Qingci was also a little scared. Her courage in modern times was sometimes great and sometimes small, and now she was looking at the terrifying forest.

Feeling a little panicked, she couldn't care less about her enemy anymore: "Let's hold hands, it'll be safer that way."

The two remained silent, holding hands like sisters.

Di Qingci, watching her crawl along like a tortoise, said, "Why don't we just hurry through?"

Pei Jinshu thought it made sense, and the two of them ran through the forest where gusts of cold wind were blowing.

Midway through the time, several large faces suddenly appeared in front of the two.

The two screamed, "Ah~ a ghost~"

Although Pei Jinshu and Di Qingci were terrified, they were indeed formidable opponents and reacted swiftly, unleashing two sword beams simultaneously.

A sudden burst of light illuminated the dim forest, instantly obscuring the several old faces.

Di Qingci shouted, "Get out of the forest quickly!" His figure was like a forest elf, moving through the forest as if on flat ground, and disappeared in a few breaths.

Pei Jinshu quickly followed, the two figures like mountain spirits, darting through the forest.

More large faces appeared. Di Qingci's sword energy surged, and his body was surrounded by spiritual energy. Countless sword energies flashed by, and the large faces around him screamed in agony.

Pei Jinshu was surrounded by countless large faces. Her aura exploded, her killing intent soared to the sky, and her sword energy streaked across the sky like shooting stars.

The two quickly ran into the distance. Ahead, a large tree branch was covered with human faces, their voices hoarse, like those of an old, broken machine.

"You two little brats, how dare you kill my child! Today you will be left here as nourishment."

Pei Jinshu looked puzzled, then made a decision in an instant: "Jinghua, let's go together."

The two attacked simultaneously, which enraged the tree demon even more: "You brats, I'll show you what I'm made of today!"

Countless tree branches shot towards us, their faces flashing with a cold light.

The two of them dodged quickly.

Di Qingci unleashed several sword energies in mid-air, swiftly leaping over the tree and disappearing into the distance.

Pei Jinshu brandished his longsword, its aura illuminating the earth, and a massive beam of light shot out.

Upon not seeing Di Qingci in the blink of an eye, his eyes sharpened, and he jumped up and down several times.

With another burst of strength, he soared through the air, passing right through the tree demon.

Di Qingci dodged the tree demon and didn't dare to linger for a moment. He quickly flew away into the distance and only breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the forest.
