Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 762 - 96 Still Let His Wife Win on Purpose

Chapter 762: Chapter 96 Still Let His Wife Win on Purpose

The flames shot up to the sky, and a gloomy wind swept across the land, filled with an aura of slaughter that spilled out in all directions, the clashing sounds of metal upon metal ringing incessantly in one’s ears.

The cultivators of the Kunlun Main Formation watched the distant magical competition with tense expressions.

If Changgeng True Person were to compete in magic with that Demon Lord, everyone would naturally not be so anxious—in fact, Changgeng True Person might not even give everyone time to get nervous, possibly executing that Wei Demon Head on the spot.

However, since Qiong Ying True Person had been fighting the opposing Demon Head for so long without showing any signs of gaining the upper hand, let alone killing their foe, how could the Kunlun cultivators not worry?

Although the cultivators below could only watch the excitement, the high-ranking elders of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect could certainly discern the intricacies of the battle.

Xu Yinglian’s performance had no issues; even if she lacked ninety percent of Qiu Changtian’s strength, she had at least eighty percent—The main reason the battle was at a stalemate was that the opposing Wei Demon Head was truly formidable.

...

There were roughly three reasons for his fearsomeness:

First was the incredibly pure demonic qi that enveloped him, which was almost the bane of all cultivators.

In pursuit of power, the cultivation techniques of the Six Paths often prefer to add impurities to True Yuan, using it to empower attacks on the enemy.

Because of the inertia, strong contamination, and difficulty in eradicating impurities, if they entered an enemy’s body, they could have an effect similar to a fierce poison… Of course, this kind of impurity is often a double-edged sword; if the proportion is too high, it becomes difficult to control and could even harm the user.

But for some reason, the impenetrable impurities within that Wei Demon Head were not one percent, five percent, or ten percent, but one hundred percent, so intense that it completely transcended the category of impurities and became demonic qi.

The purity level of this demonic qi was simply comparable to the “Immortal True Qi” cultivated from the “Nine Heavens Clear Entrance True Mantra.” If Xu Yinglian came into contact with even a little, her meridians would be immediately eroded, even impacting the performance of her body’s majority of cultivation.

As a result, she had to be extra vigilant, focusing more on using fire system Daoist magic for suppression. This inevitably tied up much of her energy, preventing her from attacking fully.

Second was his use of the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword.

One of the Four Swords of the Intercepting Cult, its rank and power need not be mentioned. Xu Yinglian countered with the Feather Jia Sword, soon focusing on defense—if she truly went all out, the intrinsic strength of the Feather Jia Sword may not be able to hold up.

Wei Dongliu even had the leisure to activate the Myriad Aspects Ultimate Immortal Sword Formation, forcing Xu Yinglian to counter with Great Bright Fire, thus depleting her True Yuan.

Third, naturally, were the Hundred Poison Gold Silkworm Gu.

This vicious insect was impervious to knives and guns, unaffected by water or fire. Although there were only three, when Wei Dongliu used his inscrutable methods to unleash them, they often struck from unexpected angles, causing Xu Yinglian to break into a cold sweat.

“Qiong Ying is not a match for that Demon Head,” the Ziwei Master quickly concluded, “If the Myriad Aspects Ultimate Immortal Sword Formation is fully activated, the power of Great Bright Fire is definitely insufficient to keep it at bay.”

“Is the Sect Leader suggesting that Wei Demon Head is going easy?” A Kunlun elder asked gravely.

Without a word, the Ziwei Master looked at the other party and coughed before saying:

“Previously, Changgeng spared but did not kill the Asura Path cultivators, so now they are returning the favor.”

The surrounding Kunlun elders were silent for a moment, then showed uncomfortable expressions as if they were insulted.

Sparing but not killing does not necessarily stem from goodwill; it is more often an action taken when holding the advantage to prevent further provoking the enemy or even causing them to become desperate. But if one is at a disadvantage, naturally, nothing else matters, and they must seek victory by any means necessary.

In other words, this Wei Demon Head from the Mortal Life Path is now considering the Demonic Path to have the upper hand, so he’s starting to insult us Kunlun?

“Let Qiong Ying True Person come back,” the Ziwei Master ordered swiftly.

“Should we also call back Changgeng?” asked a Kunlun elder in a deep voice.

“The crux of this battle lies in Guanzhong. Although victory or defeat here is important, it’s not enough to affect the overall situation,” the Ziwei Sect Leader replied, “Let Changgeng focus on managing Guanzhong and prioritize reclaiming lost territory.”

Soon, Xu Yinglian returned to the Kunlun Main Formation, fuming with anger, and petitioned the Ziwei Sect Leader for battle, saying,

“Master! Although Demon Head Wei is highly skilled in demonic techniques, I am not without the strength to fight! To retreat in the heat of battle, isn’t this inviting the world to underestimate Kunlun?”

“So what?” the Ziwei Sect Leader asked indifferently. “The main aim of this battle is to contain Iron City Mountain. As long as we can keep the Demonic Path from deploying troops from here, what does it matter if we lose some petty magical competitions?”

Xu Yinglian bit her lip and said nothing, only managing to take her leave.

Indeed, the outcome of her contest with Wei Dongliu held no real significance for either Kunlun or the Demon Cult.

But for her, with her senior brother having just left for Guanzhong, the winning streak of Kunlun was broken on her watch, and how could Xu Yinglian rest easy with that?

“Senior Feng Lan.” Xu Yinglian returned to her dwelling, sat in silence all night, and finally spoke slowly, “I am still too weak.”

Inside her Sea of Consciousness, Feng Lan: ………

Don’t be like that, Ying Lian! If you’re still considered weak with your current strength, then all the other Golden Core True Persons and Transformation Cultivators might as well commit suicide, okay?

But what kind of monsters are these on the Human Race side? Not to mention Qiu Changtian whose strength far exceeds the Golden Core Realm, now there’s also a Wei Dongliu popping up?

No wonder the ancient Demon Race was driven to the Eastern Emperor Realm by humans. With such a plethora of monsters among the Human Race, how could they possibly be defeated?

“Cough, actually, what you lack now is not secret techniques,” Feng Lan seriously analyzed. “It’s the strength of your True Yuan.”

“Look, Wei Dongliu, with his Myriad Aspects Ultimate Immortal Sword Formation, suppressed your Great Bright Fire, but if it were your husband’s Five Thunder True Law, he might not be so easily overpowered. This is a difference in the quality of True Yuan.”

“If you seek vengeance against that demon head, what you need to do isn’t to learn more secret techniques, but to strive to improve your Cultivation Realm.”

“I see,” realized Xu Yinglian. “If I could advance to the Obscure Weave Rank ahead of schedule, overtaking senior brother by a Realm, even if there’s still a gap in the Golden Core Rank, I would be able to suppress senior brother with ease.”

“That’s true,” Feng Lan pondered for a long while and couldn’t help but ask, “But is it not Wei Dongliu whom you wish to defeat?”

“How could Wei Dongliu be compared to my senior brother?” Xu Yinglian replied dismissively. “As long as I can defeat senior brother, that mere demon head is not worth worrying about.”

Clearly, whether at the beginning or now, whether as a young girl or as a married woman, Xu Yinglian’s goal has always been singular.

Even if she was once defeated by Ling Yunpo, by Wei Dongliu, and so on, none of these could make her change her goal.

Elsewhere, Wei Dongliu, who was unaware that he had caused trouble for Qiu Changtian’s alias, calmly returned to the Treasure Hall of the Iron City Mountain Asura Path’s Sect as the victor.

“Wei young friend,” King Ajatasatru asked with a smiling face, “You fought well. But with your formidable strength, why didn’t you directly execute that Phoenix Immortal on the spot?”

Wei Dongliu replied with a light smile,

“Changgeng True Person does not kill the disciples of your sect even in defeat, so how could I disgrace the Six Paths?”

“If you could eliminate the Second Grade Golden Core Phoenix Immortal, removing such a thorn in the side for the Six Paths Sects, what’s the harm in losing a little face?” King Ajatasatru asked, unconvinced.

“If senior you could make a move, blocking all the Kunlun Elders in the Main Formation, even that old thief Chi Song, preventing them from coming to the rescue, I would naturally slay the Phoenix Immortal,” Wei Dongliu answered composedly.

Upon hearing this, King Ajatasatru laughed and decided to drop the subject.
