Five days later, Si Lingle arrived at the first location, where the guardian fierce beast was a Mid-stage Soul Ergence Ice Crocodile.
The Ice Crocodile burst out of the water, its scales reflecting a dazzling cold light, and the Mid-stage Soul Ergence pressure froze all the vegetation within a hundred-mile radius into ice shards.
Si Lingle hovered in the air, her fingertip lightly brushing over her Lifebound Spirit Sword, "Qingchu," as the purple Thunder Serpent entwined around the sword body suddenly surged.
The Ice Crocodile took the initiative, spewing Xuanming Cold Qi potent enough to freeze the Divine Soul of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"Zheng—" The Qingchu Sword emitted a dragon-song-like clear cry, and the Sword Gang ford by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder poured down like a galaxy.
As Si Lingle’s robe fluttered, she perford a sword move.
The Ice Crocodile’s impervious scales cracked inch by inch under the thunder light, yet the fierce beast suddenly stood upright, transforming into a half-human, half-crocodile form, its sharp claws reaching straight for Si Lingle’s dantian.
Si Lingle perford Space Movent, dodging the Ice Crocodile’s attack, swiftly gathering Thunder Sword Intent.
The sword light flashed like lightning tearing through the night sky, swiftly slashing at the Ice Crocodile.
The Thunder Power pierced through the Ice Crocodile’s ice armor in an instant, its massive body turning to charcoal almost imdiately.
The Ice Crocodile let out a tragic scream, yet it could not escape its dood fate.
The full-force strike of a Late-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator caused the entire Cold Pond to boil and evaporate. As the thunderclouds dispersed, the Ice Crocodile’s charred Demon Core landed in Si Lingle’s palm, who bowed her head with a light sigh, saying, "What a pity for these refining materials."
She should have held back a bit.
After defeating the Ice Crocodile, Si Lingle collected the treasures from its lair and also took the "Ti Sand."
Si Lingle moved on to the other four locations.
Over three months later, Si Lingle finally arrived at the fifth location where the "Ti Sand" was located.
This "Ti Sand" was not guarded by any fierce beast, but was surrounded by countless Gang Wind.
Si Lingle took out her Immortal Rank Defense Artifact, forcibly passing through the Gang Wind.
Just as Si Lingle’s fingertip touched the "Ti Sand" suspended in the Gang Wind, the entire void suddenly twisted.
The "Ti Sand" burst out with dazzling light, and beneath her feet, a silver river spanning heaven and earth suddenly split open—this was the manifest form of the ti river, rarely glimpsed even by Mahayana Cultivators.
The erosion of the ti river made her simultaneously experience:
The left half of her body was rejuvenating, the skin becoming as delicate as a baby’s.
The right half was accelerating in aging, her Daoist robe’s sleeve reduced to flying ash.
In her sea of consciousness appeared a star domain map she had never seen before.
"So this is how it is..." Si Lingle suddenly laughed aloud, the Qingchu Sword autonomously unsheathing.
Where the sword edge passed, the thunder light unexpectedly sketched out profound Dao Patterns in the ti river.
Those scattered ti fragnts suddenly reassembled, forming three hundred and sixty micro realms around Si Lingle.
Each realm demonstrated different ti flows:
In one realm, a bud sprouted into a towering tree in just three breaths;
In the adjacent realm, the flapping motion of a bird was extended to a century;
The nearest realm was completely motionless, even the light solidified into golden threads;
Ti elapsed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, over a decade had passed.
When the Ti Sand fully rged into the Purple Mansion, the mont Si Lingle opened her eyes, the entire ti river suddenly reversed and flowed back.
She stood in the Gang Wind layer of the real world, and with a gentle swipe of the Qingchu Sword in her hand—a ten-ter radius instantly ford an independent spaceti, where the falling snow moved at a speed a hundred tis slower than the outside world.
Si Lingle comprehended her Ti Domain Divine Skill.
Ti Domain: Control the flow of ti or seal space, compressing ti within the domain to one-thousandth.
Si Lingle felt that her comprehension of the Ti Domain was due to her consuming the No Thought Fruit on the Outer Domain Battlefield, mastering the Divine Skill of the Power of Space-Ti.
This gave her the opportunity to comprehend the Ti Domain Divine Skill.
The previously mastered Power of Space-Ti allowed her to reverse ti, but reversing ti would consu a hundred years of her life and burden her with countless karmic consequences.
Therefore, she had never used it.
Now, the Ti Domain she mastered does not consu lifespan when used.
Si Lingle went to test the Ti Domain on fierce beasts, with excellent effects—but it consud a lot of Spiritual Power.
It used up one-fifth of her Spiritual Power.
Of course, the longer the support ti, the more Spiritual Power it consud. This power of space-ti is suitable for team battles.
When alone, unless in very critical situations, Si Lingle felt it best not to use it lightly.
Si Lingle left the Fierce Fog, went to the black market, bought a few "Ti Sands," and then returned to the sect.
Over these years, Changming True Monarch managed quite well.
In the past decade or more, the sect has recruited quite a few new disciples, and now the sect has over four hundred people.
After Si Lingle returned, she gave lectures and sermons several tis, and two disciples directly achieved epiphany and breakthrough.
These two disciples who had an epiphany were taken under the wing of the Golden Core Master.
However, the sect still had too few High-level Cultivators.
Changming True Monarch suggested to Si Lingle that she seek out so small sects to rge with them, thereby strengthening the Hundred Battle Sect.
Si Lingle thought this was feasible.
Changming had Si Lingle go first to the Ancient Dao Sect, where the sect leader was a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
The sect had only about thirty people, with the sect leader being the highest cultivation.
This sect was not far from the Hundred Battle Sect, just three days journey.
Si Lingle went to the Heavenly Dao Sect and had a detailed discussion with Master Zhiheng for two days, who agreed to join the Hundred Battle Sect.
Master Zhiheng weighed the pros and cons, deciding that rather than being conquered and absorbed by the Taoming Sect, it was better to proactively join the Hundred Battle Sect, allowing sect disciples to enjoy the sa treatnt as the sect disciples of the Hundred Battle Sect.
Being swallowed by the Taoming Sect, the disciples would likely all beco nial laborers or slaves.
The next day, Si Lingle uprooted the main peak of the Ancient Dao Sect and transported it back to Bai Zhan.
It beca the Ancient Dao Peak, and Master Zhiheng beca the Peak Master of Ancient Dao Peak.
The Ancient Dao Sect disciples, who were worried about being oppressed by the Hundred Battle Sect’s Inner Sect disciples, found that the cultivation atmosphere in the Hundred Battle Sect was excellent.
Furthermore, their cultivation resources increased several tis over, to their great delight.
They beca extrely diligent in cultivation.
Additionally, there were True Monarchs of Out-of-Body and Nascent Soul True Monarchs giving lectures and sermons.
They had never seen such kind and approachable High-level Cultivators.
In less than a few days, the Ancient Dao Sect disciples had integrated seamlessly with the disciples of the Hundred Battle Sect.
Si Lingle continued to seek other small sects to see if she could negotiate so sect rgers.
