I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World
Chapter 409 - 368: (Revised) Final Battle (Yue Ticket 2400 Bonus for January)
Insect Valley Survival, Day Eight.
Jiang Yuebai is well-versed in the survival skills of plants and trees, playing her disguise demon art to perfection, from hunting small insects to using vines to masquerade as female snakes, female mice, female spiders, and more. She even splits the vines into many strands, transforming into a group of colorful little fish in the pond to fish.
Though she remains a plant in essence after the disguise, she can only enhance realism through scent and movement, which is sufficient to deal with these demon art transformations in Insect Valley that lack sufficient spiritual wisdom.
Unfortunately, there are no larger herbivores in Insect Valley, or she could hunt more.
These demon art snakes, insects, rats, and ants contain only pure spiritual energy, demonic power, and Divine Sense. The more Jiang Yuebai consumes, the faster her main body grows.
In the past few days, except for suffering some injuries from dealing with the Osmanthus Tree Demon, which can control the Green Armor Bee Swarm, none of the other little demons returned once they came.
The Ghost Ganoderma was smashed into a demon-frightening grimace by her, and the Flower Baby Mushroom had its mouth blocked, beaten until it cried silently.
The Dream Soul Vine was somewhat formidable, as its pollen could make her fall into a dream realm, dreaming of dominating the Demon Clan and becoming a Demon King.
Unfortunately, the dream it created was too crude; she had no desire to dominate the Demon Clan, as it held no allure for her, leading to the Dream Soul Vine’s defeat.
Insect Valley grew quieter, especially around where Jiang Yuebai was, within a five-mile radius. Except for the tree she was entangled with, the surroundings were bare, with the turf being lifted and absorbed by her.
In her current state, she couldn’t directly eat grass, but the root system could entwine and plunder. This turf was formed by demon art and originally had no roots, so one day, out of boredom, she studied these ordinary demon art grass.
Using a method of fine control over spiritual energy and Divine Thought, she injected nature’s spiritual energy into these grasses, perfecting their form and catalyzing root system growth.
There is reward in effort, a lesson taught by nature, so with a little spiritual energy, she exchanged it for the turf and ordinary plants of Insect Valley.
By the time she returns to her main body, not to mention creating leaves with spiritual energy, she can directly create a garden, with all kinds of flowers.
Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but wonder what level of intricacy her spell would reach when she returns to her main body after this experience in demon clan refining god.
Hoo~
A deer’s call broke the morning silence of the ninth day, extinguishing the flame burning between Jiang Yuebai’s two Cloud Mushroom Leaves. Her Divine Thought discovered the white deer standing dumbstruck on the barren, grassless black land.
The white deer looked left and right, digging with its front hooves and lifting its deer head to ponder.
Unable to fathom, the white deer gave up.
Hoo Hoo~
A white light flashed across its antlers, and as the front hoof stomped the ground, a green ripple spread from its hoof, where lush grass grew, flowers bloomed, small trees sprouted high rapidly, and butterflies and bees appeared out of thin air, making the entire area vibrant again.
The dense life aura made Jiang Yuebai feel a delightful relief, like a long drought meeting a sweet rain, or suddenly falling into a lake in the desert.
She involuntarily unfurled her Cloud Mushroom Leaves, with tiny star-like flowers blooming unconsciously among the white vines of her root system, glistening in the dappled shadows of the trees.
The sparkle caught in the white deer’s eyes, which raised its head with a whoosh, bounding over to Jiang Yuebai, steeped in the aura of life, its bright eyes scanning up and down the Cloud Mushroom Grass and white vines.
The white deer’s mouth opened uncontrollably.
Leaves of the Divine Tree appeared out of thin air again, making the white deer tremble all over and hastily close its mouth, retreating with small steps, lifting its head and shaking it, as if it was just looking, not intending to eat.
Upon seeing the Divine Tree leaves, Jiang Yuebai regained her senses and realizing how close the white deer was, she pulled up her roots in fright, leaping onto a tree branch, with two white Leaf Hands clenching into fists, aimed at the white deer.
Hoo!
The white deer cried out, a gust of wind swept Jiang Yuebai off the tree branch, only then did she realize her root system’s white vines had sprouted unknown flowers.
The flowers she had been able to open during this period were from disguising demon art to imitate flowers she had seen, but these on her body she hadn’t seen before.
These flowers carried a peculiar aura, very much like... the Power of Stars?
The Power of Stars, like Moonlight, is a force that can be used to cultivate the Divine Soul; Human Clan Cultivators also have methods specializing in the Star Refining God Method.
Hoo!
The white deer cried out, the leaves of the Divine Tree floated out in front, inviting Jiang Yuebai to follow the white deer. Currently, there were only three little demons left in Insect Valley, needing to determine the final victor to participate in the Divine Sacrifice ceremony.
The white deer stomped the ground, and Jiang Yuebai was swept up by a force, directly entwined around the white deer’s antlers, as it joyfully sprinted through Insect Valley, carrying her to a nearby meadow where it tossed her down.
The deer’s head sniffed Jiang Yuebai, suddenly licking with its tongue, then turning and bolting away.
Jiang Yuebai, bewildered, stood up, shaking her leaves to flick off the deer’s saliva.
Soon, the white deer returned, bringing the Fire Grain and Sleeping Lotus to the clearing.
The moment the Sleeping Lotus saw Jiang Yuebai, it immediately formed a muddy puddle on the ground.
The Fire Grain, still in the form of a transformed young girl, retreated with her companion little snake to the side, vigilantly watching Jiang Yuebai and the Sleeping Lotus.
Hoo~
The white deer called out to the sky, meaning that a winner must be decided by sunset, or all would be eliminated.
After calling out, the white deer retreated to a distance, lying down leisurely to observe the battle.
The Sleeping Lotus guarded the puddle, immovable as a mountain, while the Fire Grain had a red venomous snake coiled around her arm, looking around, with blazing flames at the tips of her long red hair.
The day was still early, Jiang Yuebai rolled up a stone from the ground and tossed it toward the Sleeping Lotus, asking the Fire Grain, "Why do you take on the form of a human?"
The stone fell into the puddle, creating a splash, the Sleeping Lotus remained unmoved.
The Fire Grain, wary, also communicated using Divine Nian," she hadn’t yet learned the language of the Human Clan.
"This isn’t the form of the Human Clan, but of the ancient gods, humans were created by gods in their likeness."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly understood, realizing what’s going on, she rolled up some turf with mud to continue tossing toward the Sleeping Lotus.
The mud and turf were decomposed by the puddle, causing the Sleeping Lotus to sway slightly.
The Fire Grain seemed to understand something too, starting to pick up stones from the ground to throw at the Sleeping Lotus, with the puddle continuously decomposing the items thrown in, quickly consuming the Sleeping Lotus’ demonic power.
When Jiang Yuebai exerted effort to lift a dead tree stump larger than the puddle and throw it toward the Sleeping Lotus, it finally couldn’t bear it any longer, thrusting a thick lotus root arm from beneath the puddle, fiercely slamming the stump down.
A sudden exclamation came, the Sleeping Lotus sensed something amiss, and with its Divine Thought, it found a giant fireball following closely behind the stump, which had already pounced upon it.
Boom!
The fireball exploded, the Fire Grain gave a startled look at the leaf-wielding Cloud Mushroom Grass, then to the grassland enveloped in flames.
"Thousand Leaves Hand of the Immortal Ganoderma Clan? So it’s true that they can use Human Clan spells, but the vine is... a hybrid?"
Jiang Yuebai knew the Fire Grain’s was purely curious without ill intent, but ’hybrid’ has a very negative connotation among the Human Clan, making her angry uncontrollably!
"A ’hybrid’ can make you cry too!"
The two Leaf Hands shook, stirring the spiritual energy between the heavens and earth, an invisible wave rushing straight at the Fire Grain’s face.
Her brows furrowed tightly, quickly flicking her red hair in front of her, with blazing flames shooting to the sky, colliding with nine ice cones hidden in the air!
Bang bang bang!
Ice shards flew and flames scattered.
The Fire Grain, shaken by the cold air, got up after being knocked down, then flicked her hair to release a flurry of fiery grains, each packed with tremendous power.
Beside her, the Fire Sea was absorbed by a force, extinguishing it, as the Sleeping Lotus with half of its leaf broken trembled violently, even swallowing the fire, rolling up a turbid water flow, and crashing the waves against the grass.
The palm-sized Cloud Mushroom Grass was caught in the middle of the Sleeping Lotus and Fire Grain, under attack from both sides.
