Mortal: Fifteenth Realm Sword Cultivator

Baibi Mountain, Qifeng Terrace.

The woman knelt before the desk, having already changed out of her imposing black robe and into a plain-colored dress.

Beneath her skirt, a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs were casually crossed, and she held a scroll of miscellaneous notes in her hand, quietly turning the pages.

Beside him stood a maidservant holding a sword, her aura refined and steady, clearly indicating that she had already reached the Core Formation stage.

The entire pavilion was built on the very top of the mountain.

The terrain here is extremely unique, so calling it an island is perfectly appropriate.

However, its main body is more like a solitary peak rising from the sea.

The entire mountain is composed of a natural white stone vein, which shines brightly in the sunlight due to its warm and smooth texture.

Furthermore, the peak was once cleaved in two by an ancient cultivator with a single sword strike, leaving behind sheer cliffs on both sides, steep as if cut by a knife, smooth as a mirror, truly a magnificent spectacle known as the "White Cliffs".

All the peak masters of Baibi Mountain in the past were female cultivators, but the current one has already condensed her nascent soul in less than four hundred years of cultivation.

She formed a nascent soul while being a woman.

It is famous in the chaotic star sea.

In addition, the current mountain lord is aloof and cold-hearted.

Throughout Baibi Mountain, there are many women and very few men.

It's less like a sect and more like a family tradition.

The incense burner on the table emitted wisps of smoke, but the woman seemed somewhat absent-minded, her delicate hands turning the pages of the book back and forth.

The woman holding the sword behind him, though not exceptionally beautiful, had very narrow eyes and a cinnabar mole between her brows, which naturally gave her a touch of charm.

In Baibi Mountain, there has always been such a person by the side of the mountain lord.

Although she was called a maid, she was never treated as a servant.

Instead, he was groomed by the current mountain lord to be the next one.

"Madam, allowing a stranger, a Nascent Soul cultivator, to set foot on White Wall Mountain might provoke a reaction from the demonic forces."

The implied meaning.

If this matter were to reach the ears of the Six Paths Supreme Saints, it would only cause more trouble.

The woman put down the book in her hand, without turning her head, and said in her still cold voice, "Qi Yu, how many years have you been with me?"

The woman holding the sword replied, "It has been one hundred and twenty-four years."

The woman paused for a moment, then slowly continued, her voice devoid of emotion but carrying a sense of weariness.

"One hundred and twenty years... is not a short time for cultivators."

Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up, "If it really doesn't work out, wouldn't it be better to go to Tianxing City?"

The woman chuckled softly, seemingly mocking herself, "Given his methods, every move here is likely under his surveillance. Leaving rashly might just anger him."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu visibly frowned slightly.

Since the entire Baibi Mountain is under the other party's surveillance, why did the lady still send a strange cultivator to visit?

Thinking of this, a sudden inspiration flashed in her mind.

At this moment, the woman slowly stood up.

Without the black robe to conceal her figure, her exquisite curves were fully revealed.

She stood barefoot on the couch, her toes red and smooth, rounded and polished, like carved warm jade, glistening with moisture.

Her slender waist twisted, and her steps were light and graceful.

A faint, sweet fragrance filled the air.

When women in the world actually see other female cultivators who are exceptionally beautiful, they often only think, "Oh, she's just so-so," or "She looks alright," or "She's nothing special."

However, Qi Yu gazed at the lady, but had no such thoughts.

No wonder that the demonic magnate, the Six Paths Supreme Saint, couldn't forget the lady after just one fleeting glance.

As a result, the rumors intensified and almost became true.

The aloof woman walked around the desk, through the light gauze curtains, placed her palm on the railing, and gazed at the surging sea of ​​clouds below.

"Why do you think I let that person into White Wall Mountain, and even openly mentioned that there was a teleportation array? If that person was just a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, I would have just dealt with him. But the aura that person exuded clearly indicated that he was a late-stage Grand Cultivator. From the moment he stepped into White Wall Mountain, this news had probably already reached someone's ears. We just need to wait and see."

As she spoke, she pressed down with her fingers, and her delicate, white hand left five clear finger marks deep on the hard wood.

Qi Yu said, "I'm afraid they'll use the teleportation array to leave in the next few days."

Upon hearing this, the aloof woman paused for a moment before slowly saying, "So I told him that the teleportation array does exist, but it needs some time to be repaired."

Qi Yu watched his wife's retreating figure.

She clearly remembered that the teleportation array inside the door was intact, so how could it be repaired?

A sigh escaped my lips.

It's really too difficult for the mountain lord, with her aloof and proud nature, to force herself to do something against her will.

Moreover, Qi Yu really couldn't figure out the key to it.

To become the Daoist partner of a demonic giant like the Six Paths Supreme Saint, a proper wife rather than a concubine, is an opportunity that many female cultivators would covet.

Why is the lady so resistant?

Unable to suppress his doubts, Qi Yu asked in a low voice, "Madam, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, doesn't he know what this world is? Even if he's new here, shouldn't he know something about your background upon seeing you...?"

She shouldn't have asked this question, but in her view, things seemed illogical in every way.

How could a Nascent Soul cultivator be completely ignorant of a long-established power like White Wall Mountain?

Baibi Mountain is not some insignificant sect with only Core Formation stage cultivators in charge.

Explore the genres of Xianxia novels; there's bound to be one that suits you.

The aloof woman didn't need to turn her head at all; she could clearly perceive the changing expressions on the face of the sword-bearing maid behind her with her intuition alone, and naturally knew what she was thinking.

Do you really think that someone like the Six Paths Saint, who has cultivated to the point of near perfection, would be like a common mortal, only lusting after a beautiful appearance?

The "Luanfeng Sword Technique" she cultivates is ostensibly a sword-focused technique, but its core essence is the ability to nurture a unique origin within the body called "Phoenix Essence."

These sources are extraordinary, unlike ordinary virgin yin essence, which dries up once harvested.

The mystery of the "Phoenix Sword Manual" lies in the fact that after a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul realm, a wisp of "Phoenix Essence" can automatically condense within their body every certain period of time.

The effects of this "Phoenix Essence" far surpass those of the most yin virgin's original yin.

If used for dual cultivation, it can not only provide the other party with a powerful boost to their cultivation, but its effect is no less than consuming spiritual treasures, divine pills and immortal herbs, and there is no risk of unstable foundation or backlash.

Of course, even if a woman never engages in sexual intercourse during her entire life, the "Phoenix Essence" is still very beneficial to her cultivation.

Not only can it improve one's realm, but it can also extract the essence of the Yuan energy to nourish oneself, temper one's sword heart, and nurture one's origin.

These secrets have been passed down from generation to generation by the owners of Baibi Mountain.

Only when each successive mountain lord takes over the position, or after reaching the Nascent Soul realm, will the title be passed down from the previous generation; other people have no way of knowing this.

The aloof woman was completely baffled and somewhat terrified.

This person, Liu Dao Ji Sheng, somehow used some kind of perception technique to see through the core secrets of the "Luan Feng Sword Manual" at the very first time the two met.

No need to say it explicitly.

The other person's eyes narrowed slightly at first, then suddenly brightened, their gaze burning as if it could pierce through skin.

Not a shred of it Only by glimpsing the pure greed and possession of rare treasures can one truly understand the fiery yet chilling nature of such desires.

At that moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.

I almost thought I wasn't a person, but just an object.

And then, how long has it been?

Various rumors began to circulate both openly and secretly.

It's as if they want to create the preconceived notion that "she's already taken," cutting off any other people's hopes and giving her no room to breathe or refuse.

If it were someone else, she might have been able to accept it, and just accept it.

But the opponent happens to be a Six Paths Supreme Saint!

This person is extremely ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve the Six Extremes True Demon Art.

Rumor has it that even his own sister, one of the two Saints of the Star Palace, almost fell victim to his poison.

Even his closest blood relatives were nothing more than pawns to be used and sacrificed in his cultivation practice.

Named Liudao, he is in reality ruthless and heartless, devoid of any sense of kinship. In his quest for the Great Dao and ascension, he can refine even strangers, his closest relatives, and his disciples...

Various strategies to break the deadlock churned in my mind, and I deduced them to the extreme, but each time I hit a dead end and couldn't find the slightest opportunity.

If one were to harden one's heart, abandoning White Cliff Mountain would not be out of the question.

But what will become of these disciples on the mountain?

Falling into the hands of the Six Paths Old Demon and being refined into a corpse puppet would be considered a good end.

Even if one abandons everything and seeks refuge in Tianxing City, can one be guaranteed eternal safety?

With that old devil's methods, as long as she remains in the Chaotic Star Sea, sooner or later she will simply repeat the same mistakes in another place.

Unless you never leave Tianxing City.

Just when the aloof woman was about to resign herself to her fate.

Lu Jianghe's sudden appearance gave her a glimmer of hope...

The woman remained silent in response to Qi Yu's question.

Regardless of the other party's identity or purpose.

As long as it can cause even the slightest disturbance to the Six Realms, it's considered a success.

It doesn't need to be very effective, just enough to buy time.

She knew perfectly well that the person in front of her could never be a match for Liu Dao.

The only uncertainty now is whether the other party... might be an avatar of the Six Paths.

The thought had barely formed when it was immediately dismissed.

This idea is utterly absurd.

This person had a fierce aura and was clearly a sword cultivator like himself.

The true demonic art cultivated by Liu Dao is already well-known among high-level cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea.

If he still has the energy to spare to relearn a completely different school of cultivation, and also reach the late Nascent Soul stage...

That's just too outrageous.

If that's really the case.

You may freely gather any nourishment you desire!

The aloof woman slowly turned around from the railing, and with a flick of her wrist, two memory beads floated quietly in her palm.

With a flick of his finger, the two beads flew steadily to Qi Yu's front.

"Keep these two memory beads safe."

"Once Fellow Daoist Lu has recovered his strength, I will find an opportunity to speak with him. At that time, you will record all the 'interactions' between us."

She paused slightly, a barely perceptible hint of shame flashing in her eyes, and continued, "After recording, select a cultivator with a clean background and no connection to White Wall Mountain, and have this recording bead... dispersed into the dark market, ensuring it circulates through those shady channels. Remember, do it cleanly, without leaving a trace, making it seem like... a rumor deliberately discovered by someone."
