Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 560 - 56: Everything Is As I Expected
Chapter 560 -56: Everything Is As I Expected
At this moment, everyone was as if possessed, maintaining the gesture of holding hands on both sides, completely unable to move.
Because a massive surge of Spiritual Energy was being passed around like a hot potato, whoever it stopped on would perish, so it was imperative to keep it circulating through Circulating the Heavens, spreading the immense pressure of carrying this surge of Spiritual Energy evenly across everyone over time.
Lin Ning’s expression was somewhat ashamed; she didn’t want Chen Lingyun to know that she had kept her in the dark about this matter.
Su Yunjin also felt slightly embarrassed, but then she thought that since everyone had kept the secret from Ling Yun together, it was a case of ‘collective responsibility,’ and the hatred wouldn’t fall on her alone, which made her feel much more at ease.
Xie Ruoxi now felt like she had stirred up a massive disaster and was trying to push her body to its limits, continuing to forcefully endure the strain.
Zhao Yuanzhen was dissatisfied as she glared at Chen Lingyun, tempted to refuse her joining, but then she thought about the fact they would have to stay here for another ten or even twenty hours, unable to eat, sleep, and having to focus on circulating energy, and then decided it might be better to just hold her nose and tolerate it.
Yan Yu pondered for a moment and then calmly said,
“Come here, hold my hands with yours, and I’ll transfer a bit of Spiritual Energy to you.”
“I don’t want to,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, refusing, “It seems like you’re playing a very novel game. I don’t want to intrude rudely.”
“Oh?” Yan Yu immediately sneered, “Are you mocking me?”
“Yes,” Chen Lingyun said with a smiling gaze, “What else?”
“You think I don’t have a contingency plan?” Yan Yu said.
“What kind of contingency plan?” Chen Lingyun asked with interest, “One that can go into effect while you are completely immobile?”
Yan Yu did not immediately reply but secretly transmitted a message to Zhao Yuanzhen.
Zhao Yuanzhen also sneered. Although her body didn’t move an inch, a Silver Pellet rolled out from her sleeve and in the blink of an eye transformed into the figure of a slim-waisted, long-legged Enchantress.
The Puppet Ami!
This Puppet, being a Magic Treasure, typically required a cultivator’s hand gestures to activate, so Yan Yu couldn’t use the Puppet. But Zhao Yuanzhen, having endured nearly two weeks of erratic emotional states, had transferred her Divine Sense into the Puppet, thus eliminating the need for hand gestures to control it.
With a single thought, the Puppet moved autonomously!
Chen Lingyun’s complexion changed slightly as she considered dashing for the door, but Ami was already blocking the doorway, posing a threatening stance.
“Humph,” Chen Lingyun turned around, raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile, “What would you have me do?”
“That’s better,” Yan Yu said, “A wise man submits to circumstances. Come here.”
Chen Lingyun approached the bed and said,
“Where exactly should I sit? On your lap or…”
“Come sit between Ningning and me; sit cross-legged,” Yan Yu instructed.
Chen Lingyun glanced at the Puppet Ami and did as she was told.
Yan Yu then recited the Breathing Chapter of the String-Pulling Technique to Chen Lingyun,
“Have you memorized it?”
“I have,” Chen Lingyun nodded and said.
“Do you understand it?” Yan Yu asked again.
“Of course,” Chen Lingyun replied.
Xie Ruoxi watched with her eyes wide and her jaw dropped, thinking to herself, Sister Lingyun, can you not share some of your intelligence with me? I wish to be a normal human too.
“Raise your hands,” Yan Yu said, and then secretly transmitted a message to Lin Ning.
As soon as Chen Lingyun lifted her arms, Yan Yu and Lin Ning immediately pulled apart, creating a sound like a bursting balloon.
A vast amount of Spiritual Energy sprayed from their fingertips, stirring up fierce winds within the room. Yet, these two Sword Immortal were quick to react; they instantly aimed another slap towards Chen Lingyun’s lifted hands, swiftly and accurately clasping them again.
Chen Lingyun swiftly began circulating the mental method, feeling an unprecedented massive surge of Spiritual Energy pouring into her from both sides, an endless stream even as she fully focused on refining it within her Dantian.
I just can’t digest it all, I absolutely can’t!
When had she ever fought such a well-off battle? She groaned comfortably and said,
“You absolutely can’t let this ‘Silken Bond Technique’ leak out; otherwise, we’re all going to become someone’s power banks.”
“Exactly,” Yan Yu replied. “This mental method doesn’t require any cultivation talent, even mortals can become immortals, so we absolutely must not let a single detail be leaked. Otherwise, there will be earth-shattering risks.”
Everyone nodded solemnly, ensuring they would keep it strictly confidential. Only Zhao Yuanzhen was indifferent to this because, in the Cultivation World of the Qiansi Sect, there indeed were a group of princes and noble descendants practicing cultivation under their guidance. However, they were disdainfully called “flesh cattle” by the regular cultivators, serving merely as a financial resource to support the sect.
Put plainly, those fellows were used to living in luxury, and their aim in cultivation was to prolong their lives. When it came to real combat, they were no match for the belligerent and bloodthirsty cultivators of the Demonic Sect. They would be knocked down within minutes.

However, the Demonic Sect Enchantress had to admit, the social environment on Earth was indeed so much better than that of the Cultivation World.
The vast majority of ordinary and impoverished humans in the Cultivation World had an average lifespan of not even thirty years, already being objects of ruthless exploitation. Naturally, there was no concern about whether the children of the privileged could cultivate or not… But on Earth, it was different. If cultivation really broke free from the innate restrictions of talent, becoming a resource that could be traded by the powerful, it was indeed likely to cause major problems.
I, Miyuan, only want to live a peaceful life now!
The group continued to work together to circulate energy. Although Chen Lingyun’s aptitude was somewhat inferior to others, she had not yet practiced cultivation today. Like a person with a small appetite but starving, she still managed to consume more than those satiated eaters.
Only a little spiritual energy was left, not much, nothing to worry about. The six of them took some each and then withdrew it from their palms at the same time, and a multitude of spiritual energy shot out from their meridians, finally restoring calm to the room.
“Phew, I’m dead tired,” Zhao Yuanzhen complained as she quickly crawled into Yan Yu’s bed and started snoring away.
Seeing how comfortably she went to sleep, Su Yunjin was about to say something motivational, but her expression subtly shifted as she closed her mouth.
She quietly looked at Yan Yu. Though she asked nothing, the pressure was already mounting.
“Uh,” Yan Yu really wanted to say “Sister Zhao is sleeping in my room to avoid detection by you,” but now that everyone was aware, this excuse clearly couldn’t be used anymore.
Lin Ning was cast a commanding glance, which meant “you answer for me.”
Where could Lin Ning come up with a response? Although she reacted quickly, she lacked immediate wit and hastily said,
“Oh, I’m so sleepy, I’m going to sleep with Sister Zhao.”
Having said that, she immediately dove headfirst to hug Zhao Yuanzhen, assuming the posture of “I’m asleep, I know nothing.”
“Then, I’m also going to sleep,” Xie Ruoxi quickly followed suit and lied down as well.
Only Yan Yu, Yun Jin, and Ling Yun were left looking at each other.
“That.” Yan Yu finally figured out how to respond and nonchalantly asked Yun Jin, “Want to join us?”
Su Yunjin really wanted to retort, but after holding back for a long moment, she didn’t know what to say and ended up saying,
“There’s no way to fit on the bed anymore.”
“It is a single bed after all,” Chen Lingyun also remarked, “Three people is already the limit.”
“I’ll go get some quilts for the floor,” Su Yunjin stood up to leave.
“I’ll help you,” Chen Lingyun also got up to say.
The two girls left the room, leaving Yan Yu staring blankly in the room.
How come they agreed so easily?
In the hallway, Chen Lingyun leisurely transmitted a message to Su Yunjin,
“Are you really going to sleep in the captain’s room? Alone with a man, aren’t you afraid something might happen?”
“Of course,” Su Yunjin replied composedly, “with fewer people there could be a possibility, but the more there are, the less likely something will happen. Everyone’s watching each other, after all.”
“That makes sense,” Chen Lingyun responded with a smile.
Heh heh, everything is just as I expected.
