I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World Chapter 448 - 407: (Restored) Merfolk (Vote for Yue)

After making all the preparations, Jiang Yuebai left a note for Lu Nanzhi, simply saying that she was going out with her master and would be back soon.

Then, she set off with Lii Jiuchuan and Cang Huo, heading deep into the Netherworld Sea.

The Asura Domain is in the eastern part of the Netherworld Sea, while the legendary rfolk Country, according to historical records, is in the extre south of the Netherworld Sea.

Along the way, Jiang Yuebai saw many people from the Mountain and Sea Building and the Feiyan Pavilion, searching various places at sea, exploring deep underwater, employing various exploration magic treasures, almost turning the Netherworld Sea upside down.

After traveling for two days, on the second night, Lii Jiuchuan took Jiang Yuebai to a desolate, uninhabited island.

"This should be the place. I compared the records in the Five Flavors Collection. Wuwei Mountain Man left the Netherworld Sea in search of rfolk, and the last stop should be this isolated island."

The two disembarked from the flying magic treasure, and Lii Jiuchuan quickly scouted the entire island to eliminate any hidden dangers.

"You two sure move fast."

Cang Huo arrived shortly after, looking at Jiang Yuebai, unsure of what to say, and could only sigh heavily.

Jiang Yuebai offered a wry smile, "True Monarch Cang Huo, you’ve been sighing the whole way. My master doesn’t like to hear your sighs, that’s why we hurried ahead."

"I... forget it!"

Jiang Yuebai knew True Monarch Cang Huo was worried about her, yet also understood that he couldn’t change her decision, thus feeling frustrated.

Cang Huo walked over to Lii Jiuchuan’s side, speaking irritably, "Go, go, go, take care of drawing your stubborn disciple’s soul. I’ll ensure the island’s safety, and see who dares to co near recklessly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light shot from the horizon, slicing right at Cang Huo’s feet.

Cang Huo looked up angrily to see Ling Guanghan arriving with Lu Nanzhi and Shen Huaxi.

"Anan."

Feeling a bit guilty, Jiang Yuebai called softly.

After landing, Lu Nanzhi walked over to Jiang Yuebai, "I knew you had other plans. Don’t worry, I won’t stop you, just like you didn’t stop back then."

Shen Huaxi nodded in acknowledgnt but said nothing, going to help Cang Huo inspect the island.

Ling Guanghan said to Lii Jiuchuan, "Jingshan is my disciple. I should contribute my share of effort for him."

Lii Jiuchuan nodded, "Then I’ll trouble Brother Guanghan to join Brother Cang Huo in protecting my disciple."

On the small isolated island, everyone worked together with one heart, all to bring Xie Jingshan back.

Jiang Yuebai knew that if it were her in trouble this ti, or Lu Nanzhi, or even Shen Huaxi, everyone would undoubtedly do their best, for they are fellow disciples, ntors, and dear friends willing to risk their lives for each other!

A warm feeling surged in Jiang Yuebai’s heart, filling her with imnse courage and conviction that she would find the rfolk Country and Xie Jingshan!

In the center of the island, Jiang Yuebai sat cross-legged opposite Lii Jiuchuan.

"Are you ready?"

Jiang Yuebai pulled out a smile, "I’ve been ready."

Lii Jiuchuan took a deep breath, raised his hand, and was about to point toward Jiang Yuebai’s brow when his heart skipped a beat, and he rembered sothing, "Could this too be destined?"

"Master, what are you saying?"

"Do you know you have a fate of dying young?"

Lii Jiuchuan spoke of the Supre Elder giving Jiang Yuebai a divination years ago, leaving her sowhat dazed after hearing it.

"Is fate so accurate?"

Can immortals really change a person’s destiny so easily?

If she hadn’t t Lu Xingyun back then, would she really not have survived?

"For a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, especially one skilled in divination, determining a mortal’s fate is easy, so it’s unlikely the Supre Elder would be wrong."

"Right now, that’s not important. What’s important is, if you have a fate of dying young, then in the Netherworld, you are considered deceased. If your soul departs, you’d naturally proceed to the Netherworld for reincarnation as a living soul."

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up, "So, does that an I will definitely et the rfolk and reach the Netherworld?"

Lii Jiuchuan nodded gravely, "The problem is, entering the Netherworld is easy, but getting out is likely difficult."

"Master! I am determined, regardless of what happens, I must go. You just said, my fate is intertwined with that of the person who altered my destiny, that is my slim hope, I will be alright."

Lii Jiuchuan still did not feel assured, contemplating for a mont, he said, "I have already notified the Supre Elder. She will co as soon as possible. If you find Xie Jingshan in the Netherworld, try to hold out for so ti. Divinity Transformation Cultivators surely have a way to pull you from the Netherworld."

Jiang Yuebai nodded emphatically, "Alright."

Lii Jiuchuan drew a wisp of spiritual light with his fingers, tapped it on Jiang Yuebai’s brow, a powerful divine sense invaded Jiang Yuebai’s sea of consciousness, enveloping her soul.

Jiang Yuebai clenched her fists, doing everything possible to suppress her instinctive resistance, letting Lii Jiuchuan slowly pull her soul out.

The intense stabbing pain made Jiang Yuebai grunt involuntarily, and Lu Nanzhi, watching closely from not far away, frowned with pain. The agony of drawing out a soul is extre for cultivators, often used by ghost cultivators to tornt others.

Lii Jiuchuan’s forehead was covered in a sheen of cold sweat, concentrating fully and cautiously, to alleviate Jiang Yuebai’s pain, disregarding his own injuries, he released the pressure on his internal blood evil qi, channeling all his strength to his fingertips, and pulled Jiang Yuebai’s entire soul out at once.

Lu Nanzhi imdiately caught Jiang Yuebai’s collapsing body.

Thud!

Lii Jiuchuan turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, stabilizing himself with Shen Huaxi’s extended arm, slightly suppressing the blood evil qi within, he hurriedly drew a few runes on Jiang Yuebai’s forehead, ensuring that her body would not decay due to the departure of her soul for the next forty-nine days.

From here on, there was nothing more he could do to help, Jiang Yuebai would have to rely on herself.

*

The mont her soul left her body, Jiang Yuebai felt a trendous relief, as if having completed training after carrying a significant burden and finally setting it down.

"Master..."

Jiang Yuebai turned and found herself hovering in mid-air, everything around her had changed.

On the isolated island, no one was to be seen, everything had turned gray and lost its color; only the sea glowed with a blue fluorescence, with groups of jellyfish-like creatures floating with flickering lights.

The jellyfish slowly erged from the sea, swam in front of her, settling on various parts of her body, her soul being carried by them into the sea.

Beneath the sea, it was pitch black, with only the blue fluorescence illuminating small areas. After being carried along for an unknown period, Jiang Yuebai gradually saw similar blue glows in the darkness around her, each having a soul like hers at its center.

Then, an ethereal and beautiful song resonated from the deeper sea, and Jiang Yuebai looked toward the deep sea below.

The sea rushed toward her, and Jiang Yuebai was carried by the jellyfish to surface from the depths, witnessing an enormous full moon half-subrged on the sea horizon, moonlight spilling on the solitary island where two rfolk sat.

The rfolk’s skin was white as snow, their silver hair like moonlight, their azure blue eyes held the mysterious depth of the deep sea.

Beneath their slender waists, their shimring fish tails gently stirred the seawater, singing softly.

The song made Jiang Yuebai’s soul soft, deeply imrsed in it unable to extricate herself, continued to be carried by the jellyfish floating on the sea surface, only snapping back to reality when the music ceased, realizing that she was left on an isolated island, surrounded by souls of children under ten.

There were various kinds of isolated islands around, each with different souls, all waiting for the rfolk to take them to the Netherworld for reincarnation.

Once again, Jiang Yuebai surveyed the souls of the children on her island, confirming that her master was right, the souls on this island were definitely all children who died young.
