CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 12: LITTLE PEARL OF THE CULTIVATION WORLD (PART 12)

Liao Junyi widened his eyes: "Who is it, come out and face me."

"Hehe, I can’t roll, it seems Liao Junyi, you know how to roll, why don’t you roll for me to see?"

Liao Junyi was furious and immediately summoned his Flying Sword: "Come out, you sneaky thief."

A figure descended from the sky: "Who’s the thief talking about? Who’s the one who faked their death to join Xuanqing Sect under a new name?"

Liao Junyi glared at the person in front of him, gritting his teeth: "Li Shuning, is it you again? Again you ruin my plans."

Li Shuning laughed: "What if I ruin your plans? Scum like you should be punished by everyone."

"How did Mingwu Sect treat you? How did Xuanqing Sect treat you? What about Xiaoqian, how did she treat you? A person like you, whose conscience was eaten by a dog, how could you have any gratitude? Now that you’ve become a Mahayana Cultivator, you want to wipe out all of Xuanqing Sect. If you had stayed in Mingwu Sect, perhaps they would’ve met the same fate."

Liao Junyi was furious, unable to rebut Li Shuning’s sharp words.

"Hmph, I can’t out-talk you, but just as well, you came to me. I’ve long wanted to beat you up."

Liao Junyi flew up, wielding his Flying Sword with a flourish, a fierce Sword Qi slashing towards Li Shuning.

Li Shuning simply waved her hand, and the Sword Qi vanished into thin air.

Yet Liao Junyi persisted, attacking relentlessly.

However, Li Shuning didn’t even move, merely dispersing what seemed to be world-destroying attacks.

Liao Junyi grew more frantic, glaring: "Why, why can you withstand my attacks?"

Li Shuning sneered: "Liao Junyi, you’re as arrogant as ever. If you can become a Mahayana Cultivator, why can’t I? Thousands of years ago, I already reached the Mahayana Realm. I’ve been waiting for you to breakthrough, waiting for you to become a Mahayana Cultivator, and now I’ve long reached Great Perfection, while you’re merely at the Early Stage of Mahayana. You dare to boast about beating me? Why don’t you try?"

"Impossible, I am the greatest genius of the Heavenly Origin Continent, you’re lying, you vile woman."

"To be honest, I’ve long wanted to beat you up myself, just to vent."

Li Shuning laughed and raised her hand as if to slap, and suddenly Liao Junyi felt like he was slapped, being sent flying.

His heart was filled with shock. Was there really such a vast gap between them?

No, he was unwilling to accept it. In that case, he would leave for now, as there’d still be hope as long as he lived.

Liao Junyi feigned a move as if to resist, but in the next moment, he vanished.

Li Shuning simply smiled, summoning her Flying Sword and throwing it out.

The Flying Sword pierced the ground, and in the next moment, red liquid seeped out.

The crowd heard a muffled groan.

Li Shuning wasn’t planning to let Liao Junyi off.

She initially wanted to see what Mingwu Sect did that made Liao Junyi want to annihilate everyone in Mingwu Sect.

Xuanqing Sect treated Liao Junyi very well.

For thousands of years, they provided many cultivation resources, and Xiaoqian was utterly devoted to him.

Yet, Liao Junyi still acted against Xuanqing Sect, so the problem wasn’t others but Liao Junyi himself. In his heart, there was probably only room for himself, magnifying any slight against him infinitely.

"Wretched woman, why do you haunt me like a ghost? Back in Mingwu Sect, you harmed me, and now, when I haven’t provoked you, why do you hinder my path?"

"Liao Junyi, do you remember those servants who died miserably in Mingwu Sect? Do you remember the ruined couple from the Liao Family? You even threw that woman into a brothel among mortals. Do you remember your father, whose Dantian you destroyed, cutting his tendons in hands and feet?"

Liao Junyi, now pinned to the ground by a Flying Sword through his thigh, looked grim: "What’s it to you? Those people bullied and humiliated me; I was merely retaliating."

"The cultivation world thrives on the law of the jungle. It’s not a crime to kill those weaker than you once you’ve grown strong. But do you know why your father sent you to Mingwu Sect? He only wanted you to survive, hoping you’d find fortune within the Mingwu Sect. Even as a servant, he paid dearly for your entry into Mingwu Sect."

"The woman you liked, why did she end up in another’s arms? Because your dear brother originally wanted to kill you, it was she who pleaded, offering to marry him for your life."

"Xiaoqian sacrificed everything from the Secret Realm hoping to enhance your strength, and how did you repay her?"

"Xuanqing Sect, for thousands of years, provided you with a plethora of cultivation resources, even halving the resources of Core Disciples. Did you truly think you were a genius?"

"You’ve become utterly twisted."

Indeed, despite all Li Shuning said, Liao Junyi’s face remained devoid of remorse or confusion.

Recalling her own fate within the plot, Li Shuning let out a cold chuckle, approaching Liao Junyi.

Her hand reached out, striking towards Liao Junyi’s Dantian.

At that moment, a Divine Soul drilled into Li Shuning’s Sea of Consciousness.

Li Shuning’s hand didn’t pause, striking directly at Liao Junyi’s Dantian, shattering it, and his True Yuan could no longer be contained.

The Divine Soul swirled within Li Shuning’s vast Sea of Consciousness, uncertain where to attack.

Li Shuning let out a snort, and in an instant, her previously calm Sea of Consciousness turned violent, directly dispersing the invading Divine Soul.

As the Divine Soul dissipated, Liao Junyi let out a scream.

Part of his Divine Soul was destroyed, causing a backlash. Liao Junyi had always believed his Divine Soul was powerful, never realizing Li Shuning’s was many times stronger.

Li Shuning moved her hands slightly, utterly destroying Liao Junyi’s meridians.

From then on, Liao Junyi could only be considered a cripple.

Still smiling, Li Shuning flicked her Flying Sword, severing the finger bearing Liao Junyi’s ring, picking it up to dangle from her sword tip.

"A Mahayana Cultivator’s remnant soul, hehe, what is your purpose in leading him down such a dark path? The Treasure of Mingwu Sect, the Treasure of Xuanqing Sect, they have no benefit for your recovery, right? What truly aids you is Liao Junyi’s evil thoughts, his greed, his malice, providing sustenance for your remnant soul."

"Isn’t that right? Tens of thousands of years ago, you were the despised, hunted Ba Tian, right? Back then, wherever you went, not even chickens or dogs could live peacefully; countless Immortals defiled, countless Sects ransacked. Even the Heavenly Dao couldn’t stand you, striking you with Tribulation, scattering your soul. But you were lucky, leaving a remnant soul within this ring. You wish to cultivate another Ba Tian, using Liao Junyi’s evil to nourish your remnant soul."

The ring emitted a dark light, seemingly reacting to Li Shuning’s words.

Li Shuning paid it no mind, her Flying Sword moving a few times, turning the ring into powder.

And the remnant soul attached to the ring was exposed.
