Cultivation: I Can Traverse Otherworlds

"Attack!"

Before the words even faded, a streak of Sword Light tore through the void and lunged forward.

The first to strike wasn't Xiong Chu or his two companions, but the man they had surrounded—Zhu Ju.

Ten Directions Cross Sword!

Ten Directions Killing Dao!

Zhu Ju held nothing back, unleashing his full power from the very start.

The incandescent white Sword Light, thick with killing intent, shot like a meteor across the void toward Fellow Daoist Hong.

He had chosen the weakest of the three as his target.

CLANG!

The sword hummed softly.

The Ten Directions Cross Sword was a Middle Grade Magical Treasure containing the Sword Intent of a Golden Core Grandmaster. Even a slight push of energy was enough to unleash its astonishing power.

Where the Sword Intent pointed, killing intent flooded the air. It felt as if millions of demons were lunging at him, causing Fellow Daoist Hong's breath to catch in his throat.

'This is bad!'

Fellow Daoist Hong's eye twitched. With no time to think, he raised a hand, and three dice materialized before him.

This was his unique Magical Treasure, the Three Talents Treasure Dice.

This treasure had been refined from Heavenly and Earthly Treasures like Cypress Wood Gold and Taiyin Stone. It could change its size and weight at will.

Over two hundred years ago, this treasure had only been a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact. He had spent years of painstaking effort refining it with his own lifeblood until it became a Magical Treasure. Because of this deep connection, he could unleash its power to the absolute fullest.

The three dice spun around him, instantly swelling to the size of a house to block the Ten Directions Cross Sword.

CLINK...

CRACKLE!

A strange sound echoed.

Fellow Daoist Hong's expression changed drastically.

After just one clash, his Three Talents Treasure Dice began to tremble violently, showing signs of being overwhelmed.

"Watch out!"

Fellow Daoist Hong couldn't help but cry out. His face showed terror and fear, but even more so, wild joy.

"It's a Middle Grade Magical Treasure!"

He was terrified, of course, by Zhu Ju's formidable skill and exquisite Sword Technique; in a one-on-one fight, he was clearly no match.

In fact, he had fallen to a disadvantage from the very first exchange.

Fortunately, there were three of them. This meant that if they could just take down their target, they would get their hands on a Middle Grade Magical Treasure.

That was a Magical Treasure that many Dao Foundation Sect Leaders from Second-Tier Immortal Sects could only dream of possessing.

How could he not be ecstatic?

'Hmm?'

Hearing this, Xiong Chu raised an eyebrow, a flash of greed in his eyes. With a flick of his finger, he sent a Flying Sword stabbing forward.

Thunderbolt Sword!

Thunderous Fury Sword Technique!

As a disciple of the Celestial Yu Sect, Xiong Chu's lineage was naturally the most distinguished of the three.

When he executed his Sword Formulas, it was like the roar of thunder, imbued with an imposing and irresistible heavenly might.

A tempest of wind and thunder erupted!

The Thunderbolt Sword lunged toward Zhu Ju, carrying dozens of crackling bolts of lightning that momentarily darkened the void.

The lightning bolts struck first.

Zhu Ju's expression remained unchanged. The Wind and Thunder Blade Wings on his back unfurled gently, releasing their own bolts of lightning.

BOOM!

Sparks of electricity danced in the air.

A gleam of sword light shot through the lightning, striking toward Zhu Ju with the speed of a thunderclap, too fast for the ear to catch.

Xiong Chu's two centuries of Cultivation were not for nothing. His control over his Flying Sword was exceptionally agile. It weaved through the gaps in the lightning, changing its position eighty-one times in a single instant as its Killing Move prepared to strike.

Just then, Zhu Ju calmly raised his left hand.

A colorful glow emerged from his palm, instantly expanding to the size of an acre and enveloping the incoming Flying Sword.

Five-Colored Divine Light!

Wherever the Divine Light fell, everything froze. The lightning dissipated, and the Spirituality of the Flying Sword was rapidly worn away.

"A Middle Grade Magical Treasure!"

Xiong Chu's face fell.

"He has another Middle Grade Magical Treasure!"

Only a Middle Grade Magical Treasure could suppress his Flying Sword and drain its Spirituality.

Moreover, it was no ordinary Middle Grade Magical Treasure.

The Flying Sword, the Divine Light, and the wings on his back—Zhu Ju had at least three Magical Treasures.

Two of which were Middle Grade Magical Treasures.

'A mere Mid-Stage Dao Foundation Cultivator actually possesses so many priceless treasures. What is this man's background?'

'No matter!'

'There's still one of us who hasn't attacked yet.'

As the thought crossed their minds, the two of them subconsciously glanced toward the last member of their party.

But they saw that, at some unknown moment, a dark figure had appeared beside Granny Jiu, its fists clenched as they smashed down viciously.

PENG!

A visible wave of Qi Force swept across a li of land, tearing the clouds in the sky into countless fragments.

Granny Jiu screamed as her body plummeted straight into the mountainside below, kicking up a hundred-meter-high cloud of dust on impact.

SWOOSH!

The Outer Body Incarnation flickered and gave chase at an even greater speed, its fists a blur of countless afterimages as it attacked.

Its Body Refining Fifth Realm physique was comparable to that of a Cultivator just entering the Golden Core stage, giving every punch the force of ten thousand catties.

Beneath its fists, the mountaintop was visibly flattened.

However, Granny Jiu wasn't dead!

SWOOSH!

A ten-zhang-long snake tail shot out from the billowing dust and whipped around the Outer Body Incarnation, binding it tight.

A terrifying Giant Power erupted, and the Outer Body Incarnation, Wukong, froze in place.

"AHH!"

Granny Jiu shot up into the sky.

Her hair was disheveled and her body was covered in blood. A savage look filled her eyes as she stared fixedly at Wukong and roared:

"You actually forced me to use the Monster Transformation Technique! Now die!"

Granny Jiu was a native of the Ten Thousand Mountains. The Cultivation Technique she practiced was the Celestial Demon Strategy, which she had obtained from some unknown source.

The technique was of an extremely high grade, no less than the heritage of the Celestial Yu Sect, but unfortunately, it was incomplete.

Furthermore, an error in Granny Jiu's Cultivation had made it impossible for her to ever advance to the Golden Core realm in this lifetime. It had also twisted her into something not quite human and not quite demon, and her personality had warped, turning her into a notorious Evil Cultivator.

The Monster Transformation Technique was her life-or-death gambit. It allowed her to merge her body with a Demon, causing her combat power to skyrocket. For a short time, she could even face a Fake Pill Cultivator head-on.

The massive snake tail coiled around Wukong layer by layer, its terrifying Giant Power strong enough to easily crush boulders.

Now a monstrous creature with a human head and a snake's body, Granny Jiu shrieked at the sky. Holding a steel fork in each hand, she stabbed at the immobilized Wukong.

"Die!"

SWOOSH!

The steel forks met only empty air.

Wukong's figure appeared behind Granny Jiu's head, and a punch it had been charging for some time slammed solidly into the back of her skull.

PENG!

Flesh and blood flew; brains splattered everywhere.

Instant Teleportation!

Using a Great Divine Technique that manipulated the void in a Combat between Dao Foundation Cultivators was practically cheating.

Granny Jiu let out a wretched howl as she was smashed to the ground again. Her body convulsed on the earth, unable to move for the moment.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ju was fighting two opponents at once, using his Sword Control to besiege Fellow Daoist Hong while simultaneously releasing the Five-Colored Divine Light to suppress Xiong Chu's Flying Sword. He still held the firm upper hand.

Seeing Granny Jiu in dire straits, the other two men's expressions changed drastically.

"Time to go all out!"

Fellow Daoist Hong roared. He suddenly retreated and, with a flick of his wrist, unleashed dozens of Flying Needles at Zhu Ju.

Blood Poison Needles!

These needles were single-use Magical Artifacts coated in a lethal poison. Any Dao Foundation Cultivator touched by them would surely die.

Xiong Chu, on the other hand, pulled out a Spirit Talisman, tossed it into the air, and began chanting.

A Tier Three Spirit Talisman!

Zhu Ju's eye twitched. He let out a soft snort, but instead of dodging or evading, he seized the opportunity to furiously channel the True Essence in his body. The glow of the Five-Colored Divine Light and the Sword Light of the Ten Directions Cross Sword flared dramatically.

SWISH!

He forcefully sealed the Thunderbolt Sword and tucked it into his storage bag.

The Three Talents Treasure Dice let out a mournful cry, its Spiritual Light dimming as it retreated into Fellow Daoist Hong's body as three streaks of light.

At the same time, the Blood Poison Needles and the Tier Three Spirit Talisman were upon him, and it was too late to dodge.

SWOOSH!

The space before him wavered, and Wukong appeared without a sound. It clasped its hands together as if holding a large ring.

Celestial Spirit Force!

CLANG CLANG CLANG...

BOOM!

The Blood Poison Needles and the Tier Three Spirit Talisman all struck its body, but they only managed to slightly dim its Spiritual Light.

With Wukong's formidable physique, it could withstand such an assault. It was wounded, but the injuries were far from fatal.

"What?"

"Impossible!"

Fellow Daoist Hong and Xiong Chu's faces paled in shock, but before they could even react, a streak of Sword Light had already flashed across Fellow Daoist Hong's neck.

And Zhu Ju was already charging toward Xiong Chu.

A short while later, the three corpses were incinerated by Dao Foundation True Flame. Their storage bags and Personal Magical Treasures had been thoroughly looted.

"The Five Elements Bracelet?"

Tossing the Magical Treasure in his hand, Zhu Ju shook his head gently.

"To think that after all this, this treasure would end up back in my hands."

The Five Elements Bracelet had naturally come from Xiong Chu, but the Yin Yang Dual Swords were nowhere to be found. He must have already handed them over to the Celestial Yu Sect.

Besides these spoils, there was also a Spiritual Snake with black markings on its back coiled nearby, watching him with wary eyes.

"A Black Water Profound Snake!"

Zhu Ju's eyes glittered.

"To think it's this kind of Treasure Snake."

The Black Water Profound Snake was an exotic species of heaven and earth, extremely rare.

This Black Water Profound Snake was six to seven zhang long, comparable to a Dao Foundation Cultivator, but it was still just a juvenile.

At maturity, it would be as powerful as a Golden Core Grandmaster!

However, such a creature was like a Primordial Spirit Stone Embryo.

The time between its juvenile stage and maturity could easily span a thousand years. Forget Dao Foundation Cultivators; even a Golden Core Grandmaster couldn't live that long.

The Monster Transformation Technique that Granny Jiu used involved merging herself with this snake, transforming into a half-human, half-snake being.

It was because of this snake that she was so powerful.

"Since your master is dead, you will follow me from now on. You can return with me to the Bright Void Sect and become a Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast."

"Or..."

"...you can die by my hand!"

HISS HISS... The Black Water Profound Snake was highly intelligent. Hearing his words, it flicked its tongue and slithered before Zhu Ju, nodding its head repeatedly. There was even a hint of fawning in its eyes.

"Such high Spirituality!"

Zhu Ju showed a hint of surprise.

"It seems your former master trained you well."

"Hmm..."

His ears twitched. He turned his head to look south. A Spiritual Light flashed in his eyes, and a scene more than ten li away came into view.

*

"WAA... WAA..."

The sound of crying echoed through the mountain forest.

A baby was being held in the arms of an unconscious, heavily wounded woman, its cries incessant.

The cries attracted a pack of wolves.

Pairs of glowing green eyes appeared in the surrounding darkness.

GRRR...

The mountain wolves whined, slowly closing in.

"Ngh!"

Just then, the woman slowly opened her eyes and instinctively looked at the child in her arms.

Seeing the baby was unharmed, she first let out a sigh of relief, but then she sensed danger.

'Oh no!'

'The young master's cries will definitely attract the Sunx Family's enemies!'

The enemies had not yet arrived, but the wolves had.

AWOOO!

With a low snarl, the wolf pack burst from the grass and bushes, pouncing on the defenseless pair.

'It's over!'

The woman's face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with despair.

"What an incredible Innate Dao Body!"

Just then, a calm voice spoke:

"Such a powerful cry, full of Qi. It stirs the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, allowing even me to sense it from over ten li away."

"It seems fate does not wish for you to die today, little one."

The suddenly-appeared Zhu Ju gently knelt, teased the baby for a moment, and then slowly picked her up.

As for the wolf pack... the moment he appeared, they scattered in terror as if startled by the twang of a bowstring, fleeing into the distance.

"An Immortal!"

"Immortal!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Zhu Ju.

"I beg you, Immortal, please avenge the Sunx Family..."

"Avenge them?" Zhu Ju shook his head.

"Are you referring to that group of people currently rushing over?"

"That is your affair. I will not get involved. However, I can take you back to the Bright Void Sect."
