"Leave quickly, and I will spare your life. Do not be so stubborn!"
The old voice came again.
"Hundred Flowers old ghost, stop trying to scare me. This Legacy, your grandma is taking it!"
Dan Ji pointed at the sky with her hand and cursed.
This Hundred Flowers Cave was actually a Legacy of the Evil Path.
The so-called Hehuan Sect was merely some evil cult created by the evil creatures that had emerged from this Small World within the Legacy over millions of years, not worth mentioning.
What was truly valuable in Hundred Flowers Cave was the Legacy itself.
Dan Ji had painstakingly searched for and found such an Evil Path Legacy. She had initially thought it was a fragmented Legacy that had already been taken by someone. She never expected it to be the Legacy left behind by the Hundred Flowers Evil Saint, a giant of the Evil Path from millions of years ago.
Those in the Thousand Autumn and Haigu Realms are called Venerables. Above the Haigu Realm, there is the Heaven Desolation Realm, where they are called Saints.
This Hundred Flowers Evil Saint was an Evil Saint who rose to fame 100,000 years ago, achieving transcendence through the Poison Law, a unique skill of his era.
For Evil Cultivators like Dan Ji, breaking through from the instant Realm to the Thousand Autumn Realm was very difficult.
Below the Thousand Autumn Realm, each Realm Breakthrough only required opening acupoints; breaking through the limit of the number of acupoints was enough to achieve a Realm Breakthrough.
However, breaking through from the instant Realm to Thousand Autumn, from mortal to immortal, from Cultivator to Venerable, required shattering acupoints, breaking them down to then rebuild them, which is called Undergoing Tribulation.
To reach the Peak and become a Saint, one needed to undergo Tribulation three times: from instant to Thousand Autumn, Undergoing Tribulation of Man; from Thousand Autumn to Haigu, Undergoing Tribulation of Earth; from Haigu to Heaven Desolation, Undergoing Heavenly Tribulation.
For Righteous Path Cultivation, Undergoing Tribulation of Man would be very smooth. The Righteous Path's Nine Heavens Department would send people to fight the Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation, shattering all their acupoints to help them achieve a Spiritual Infant and ascend to the Thousand Autumn Realm.
But for Evil Path Cultivators, Undergoing Tribulation of Man was much more difficult because Evil Path Cultivators fought among themselves, were hated by everyone, and mostly had no master to guide them. During Tribulation, they needed to shatter all their acupoints themselves. The body of a Cultivator with shattered acupoints would naturally attract powerful Souls formed by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, seeking Possession.
This meant that Evil Path Cultivators needed to fight against powerful Souls formed by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi while severely injured with all their acupoints shattered, and then refine them to achieve a Spiritual Infant and break through to the Thousand Autumn Realm.
Therefore, many Evil Path Cultivators would choose to find a Legacy before Undergoing Tribulation. In this Small World, the Spiritual Qi was relatively sparse, and the powerful Souls formed were relatively weaker, greatly increasing the probability of successful Undergoing Tribulation.
Dan Ji was no exception.
However, she had not expected to enter an undeveloped Legacy, and even more unluckily, the Legacy was left by a Saint of the Heaven Desolation Realm.
To prevent anyone from destroying the Legacy, the Hundred Flowers Evil Saint had left a Restriction in this world. Once the presence of anything exceeding the instant Realm was sensed, the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul left by the Hundred Flowers Evil Saint would appear and annihilate it.
In fact, Dan Ji did not know that the Hundred Flowers Legacy itself had a Restriction; Cultivators exceeding the instant Realm were not allowed to enter.
Her Realm when she first entered the Hundred Flowers Cave was precisely the Peak of Passing Nine Revolutions.
It is estimated that even the Hundred Flowers Evil Saint himself did not expect that 100,000 years later, Evil Path Cultivators would intentionally hide in the Legacy left by their predecessors to Undergo Tribulation. Therefore, he did not prevent instant Nine Revolutions Peak Cultivators like Dan Ji from entering the Legacy to Undergo Tribulation and become a Thousand Autumn Venerable, thus destroying the Legacy.
This was because 100,000 years ago, Evil Path Cultivators were not as pathetic as they are now. Cultivators would not intentionally go to a Legacy to hide during Tribulation, as the sparse Spiritual Qi in a Legacy would greatly reduce the Cultivator's innate talent and foundation after Undergoing Tribulation.
Dan Ji had essentially found a loophole in the Legacy left by the Hundred Flowers Evil Saint, purely by accident.
The Hundred Flowers Evil Saint was powerful during his lifetime, and the Remnant Soul he left behind was naturally extraordinary. However, it was only meant to prevent the evil creatures within the Legacy from Cultivating to too high a Realm, which would draw too much Spiritual Qi and cause this Small World to collapse. After all, there is a world of difference between ordinary Cultivators and Venerables, like that between immortal and mortal.
The Hundred Flowers Evil Saint certainly could not have foreseen that one day, a wisp of his Remnant Soul would battle a Venerable of the Thousand Autumn Realm.
In fact, Dan Ji's Luck was very good. Before she entered the Hundred Flowers Cave, she had gone through a fierce battle and was severely injured. Because her aura was weak, and the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul usually fell into a deep sleep to avoid consumption, it did not sense her.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely rest and recuperate until their condition recovered, and then plan for the long term. This would, however, lead to them being sensed by the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul after recovering, and then annihilated.
But Dan Ji's personality was fierce and vengeful. When severely injured, she took life and death lightly, so she directly shattered her acupoints. Relying on her strong willpower and Cultivation foundation, she absorbed the vast Spiritual Qi of this Small World, and in one fell swoop, Underwent Tribulation to become a Thousand Autumn Venerable.
It was only then that the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul sensed her presence and prepared to annihilate her, but it was too late.
Dan Ji's strength in the Thousand Autumn Realm was already vastly different from before, and she actually fought the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul to a draw.
Dan Ji Cultivated the Blood Law, her aura was continuous and exceptionally persistent, while the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul existed by relying on this Small World, and the more it fought, the more it was consumed.
Just as Dan Ji was severely injured and the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul was at its last gasp, Liu Lu ambushed her from the side and Sealed her.
Now that she was free again, her strength remained undiminished from back then, and she wondered what condition the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul was in.
In the Void Realm, wisps of black Qi eventually converged into an old man. The old man wore a long robe, held a staff, and had a hunched body. His sparse hair on his head and his mouth full of yellow teeth that protruded made him look gloomy and sinister.
If Changqing were here, he would surely recognize that this was precisely the statue worshipped in the Dan Room.
"Hundred Flowers old ghost, if you know what's good for you, obediently hand over the Legacy to me, otherwise, your grandma will make this wisp of Remnant Soul vanish into thin air."
Dan Ji sneered. A throne made of white bones and flesh emerged from beneath her. She calmly sat down, her long, slender legs crossed, confident of victory.
She could tell that this Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul was no longer as solid as when she first saw it decades ago, and its strength was probably not as great as it once was. Although she had also been trapped for many years and her strength had slightly weakened, she was clearly stronger than the opponent.
"Little girl, you do not meet the standards of my Hundred Flowers Legacy. Leave quickly, and I will spare your life."
After all, it was just a wisp of Remnant Soul, with limited consciousness, and it even lacked the memory of having fought Dan Ji before. It was created by the Hundred Flowers Evil Saint solely to maintain the balance of this Small World, and now it was merely mechanically carrying out its mission.
"You old ghost, you truly don't know what's good for you." Dan Ji stomped her foot, and a Blood Pool emerged around her. From within the Blood Pool, a strangely shaped giant bone sword slowly floated up.
The bone sword was covered with thorny carvings, its body formed by sections of vertebrae, and its blade was made of sharp ribs tightly attached to the spine. Although it was bone, it shimmered with a cold light. At the hilt was a skull, with snow-white hair tied high, forming a strange sword tassel.
The face of the skull was ninety percent similar to Dan Ji herself.
She gripped the hilt, also grasping the slender neck of the beauty, stood up, raised the bone sword, and pointed it at the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul.
"Since you insist on blocking me, then go die!"
Now, her strength was supreme in this Hundred Flowers Cave, so she naturally had no worries. She raised her sword and slashed at the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul.
Dan Ji moved incredibly fast, and the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul quickly raised the staff in its hand to block in front of it.
But the anticipated collision did not occur; only a wisp of black Qi flashed past.
The Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul was extremely cunning. At the last moment, its entire body suddenly transformed into a mass of black Qi, passing through Dan Ji's body.
"Seeking death, you shall be executed."
The Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul declared expressionlessly.
Behind him, Dan Ji's slender waist was severed in the middle, and thick black smoke continuously surged from the broken part.
The staff held by the Hundred Flowers Remnant Soul emitted the same thick smoke, and black, viscous liquid flowed on it, clearly indicating it was a highly toxic substance.
With a single feint and sneak attack, he had actually corroded Dan Ji's body into two halves.
However, Dan Ji's upper body strangely hovered in mid-air, and a look of disdainful mockery appeared on her inverted face.
"It seems that after so many years, you still haven't fully recovered, and you don't even have the memory of fighting me back then."
With that, she closed her eyes and sighed deeply.
"Blood Sea Other Shore."
A tear of blood flowed from the corner of her eye. In an instant, the entire world turned black and white. The world was like a piece of cloth dipped in ink, and with this tear of blood from Dan Ji's eye as the center, it was dyed a deep crimson.
