Chapter 647 Pinduoduo's One-Slash Cut Became a Mental Demon
Pain tore through her entire body, but Jiang He didn't hesitate at all. Just a second before she fell, a gust of wind steadily lifted her up.
Jiang He's body was suspended in mid-air.
If we were to say which elements in this world are easiest to obtain with open eyes, they would undoubtedly be light and wind.
She doesn't plan to reveal her light spiritual root so early; her spiritual energy hasn't recovered yet, so there's no other way.
Ever since Elder Jiu of the Liuyu Sect discovered that Jiang He was a cultivator from the Xiaoyao Sect, he would frequently switch to the large screen where Jiang He was broadcasting live.
It has to be said that Jiang He's talent is far superior to that of the cultivators in their River Basin Sect.
Among the dual spiritual roots, there is a fire spiritual root and a mutated ice spiritual root. These two combinations of spiritual roots are extremely rare. Although dual spiritual roots are not as good as single spiritual roots, Jiang He is an alchemist and can make up for the difference by consuming high-grade pills.
The Ninth Elder watched as Jiang He and his group were the first to obtain the clues and arrive at the Endless Waters, while the cultivators of their River Basin Sect were tricked by Jiang He's information and eliminated the others.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
Why doesn't their River Basin Sect have such promising cultivators?
The Ninth Elder glanced secretly at Jiang He, who had been photographed on the beach.
Having watched for so long, his expectations for Jiang He had risen considerably. The vortex was dangerous, but with Jiang He's strength, he believed she had a way to break the deadlock, such as teleportation using talismans.
It was with this mindset that Elder Jiu of the Liuyu Sect watched the live stream. When he discovered that Jiang He had used wind spiritual energy to lift him up, he was completely bewildered.
"How come she also has a wind spirit root?"
The elder of the River Basin Sect strained his senses and turned to ask Jie Ting.
Jie Ting didn't notice Jiang He's scene. He looked up slightly, and among the tens of thousands of large screens in front of him, the scene of Jiang He was particularly breathtaking.
The cultivator on the screen had lost all spiritual energy, and in front of her was a giant wild rhinoceros.
Below her, one after another, monster fish leaped into the water, knowing that without the support of wind spirits, she would fall into the water and become their meal.
This scene was too dangerous; Jie Ting looked at Jiang He:
"Using wind spirit energy to resolve the crisis is a move that can be considered as adapting to changing circumstances."
"I know it's just improvisation, but do you remember that Hongmu's spiritual roots are ice and fire? The sect competition has never announced her spiritual roots, so why is this new rumor suddenly appearing now!"
"wind?"
Jie Ting pondered the elder's reaction, and slowly came to his senses:
"Yes, redwood should have dual spiritual roots."
"Yes, that's what surprised me. The wind spirit root is a mutated spirit root, with extraordinary power. With this other spirit root, she has three spirit roots, and two of them will be mutated. Isn't that..."
Elder Jiu of the River Basin Sect did not finish speaking.
The audience in the live stream were completely captivated by the female cultivator on the water, as Jiang He suddenly revealed her spiritual root.
[: ...? Is it wind spirit energy?]
Yes, the wind elemental energy created a buffer and caught the redwood.
Does redwood also have a wind spirit root?
I don't know, don't look at me.
It was a completely unexpected accident.
It's still way too much. What kind of monster is this year's leaderboard? They already have two mutated spiritual roots! An ordinary person with even one mutated spiritual root can be called a genius, and their cultivation level can at least reach the Void Refinement stage. With a bit more luck, they could become a candidate for a Great Power.
However, this year's sect competition featured quite a few mutated spiritual roots.
Cultivation with three spiritual roots is definitely slower than with two. I'm just curious how Hongmu cultivates. How can she cultivate so many professions at the same time? Doesn't she get tired? Even cultivators get tired.
Exceptionally gifted?
Has anyone looked into her family background? To be able to cultivate so many professions simultaneously, she must have family resources supporting her, right?
Redwood and the Carefree Sect, this entire sect appeared out of nowhere, and there was absolutely no difference in information about them on the Star Network, not even the educational backgrounds of the members.
Oh, you didn't find anything about the twelve-year compulsory education system? It's impossible for them not to attend.
No relevant student record found.
Wow, before joining the Free and Unfettered Sect, he was a complete rogue cultivator!
Could it be that she has powerful backing and is protecting people, or that she's connected to the empire, perhaps through some kind of secret agents?
Do you think that's possible? We've already come to participate in the sect competition, what's the point of talking about secrecy? We've already seen our faces.
What if it's a mask?
Anyway, we can't figure out the truth right now. The identity of the redwood is a mystery, and it really has the feel of a dark horse.
Let's deal with the monsters below first. All the monsters that escaped from the vortex are high-level monsters, so we're in a dilemma.
Redwood also escaped from the vortex, so I think their strengths are roughly equal.
Quantity? Can the number of monsters compare to that of a lone cultivator?
[Let's wait and see]
Jiang He used wind spiritual energy to levitate herself in mid-air. Every second, she consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy. If this continued, she would absorb all the wind spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles. Moreover, her other spiritual energy had not yet recovered, so she was unable to fight against the demon.
Using the wind, Jiang He waited until her spiritual energy recovered somewhat before quickly tearing off an ordinary teleportation talisman and reaching a more distant body of water.
On the sea, Jiang He floated in the water, and the demons that had sensed her disappearance all followed her scent.
The horde of demons quickly found Jiang He. She was still some distance from fully recovering her spiritual energy, but fortunately, she could still use most of the spiritual energy in her body.
Jiang He watched the ferocious monster from afar without making any move.
The cultivators outside the secret realm switched back and forth between Jiang He's and the demon's perspectives.
The sect competition features multiple perspectives.
From the monsters' perspective, they could clearly see hordes of monster fish with gaping mouths surging toward Jiang He's side, crashing wildly against the water's surface like a miniature monster tide.
[Is Redwood scared out of its wits? Why isn't it moving?]
Didn't you use up all your spiritual energy during the teleportation? This is an S-rank monster; if she doesn't move, she'll be killed.
[What is she waiting for? Move! If she has spiritual energy, she can kill them one by one, or she can run away.]
The crowd didn't understand Jiang He's feelings at that moment. They looked at the cultivator on the screen and were all filled with doubt.
Jiang He looked at the demons approaching her and still had the same thought: killing them all would be a waste of time.
She didn't know if the clue was unique, so the best course of action was to complete the plan for the location of the clue.
She waited quietly for the right moment. When the demon leaped up and pounced on her, a light suddenly flashed across Jiang He's staff.
The incantation escaped his lips, and in an instant, icy spiritual energy condensed around him.
The chill spread along the sea surface.
A thin layer of ice appeared on the water, freezing the charging monster and restricting its movement.
The monsters that were far away thrashed about wildly, half of their bodies frozen in the water, while the other half remained with its mouth agape, a stench spreading through the air.
After the ice aura appeared, the few most ferocious monster fish leaped into the air and were frozen, like a stone hitting the ice.
Fine cracks appeared.
After Jiang He finished doing all this, she didn't linger any longer. She had used up almost all of her spiritual energy to freeze the demons at the same time.
This move won't kill it, but it can keep the monster under control for several seconds.
In a tight timeframe, even a few seconds can feel like a long time.
Jiang He used a teleportation talisman to confirm the anchor point, teleporting herself from the water surface to above the water area.
In an instant, a sword flew to her feet.
Jiang He stepped onto her sword and soared into the air.
Water is dangerous, beaches are dangerous, and the air is probably just as dangerous.
The only advantage of Jiang He choosing to fly on her sword in mid-air is that she can patrol from the air and has a wider field of vision.
Okay, I guess I was just being overly concerned and presumptuous. Turns out I was waiting for the close-range control effect to be maximized.
I take back what I just said. She wasn't scared out of her wits; I was the one who was stunned. Hongmu's reaction time is unparalleled.
In that short time, you can even freeze monsters; that's incredibly powerful.
The monster fish's head was so close! I was watching the live stream from Redwood's perspective; it was incredibly thrilling, my heart almost stopped, and I thought I was going to be eliminated.
Mindset is really important, and time management is also crucial.
Phew, that was so satisfying to see Hongmu escape the attack! I love watching these kinds of entertaining moments.
Next time I'm definitely going to disagree with netizens.
Sometimes I really feel that if the sect competition weren't something that couldn't be faked, I would think that Hongmu and Zhongliyu were two contrasting groups. On Hongmu's side, the monsters were frozen, and the crisis was temporarily averted, but even more dangerous monsters were lurking on the beach. Moreover, I don't know if we can find any clues in this vortex space at all; even getting out might be a problem.
I checked Zhong Liyu's live stream, and it's true! Both Zhong Liyu and Jin Dazhu, the cultivators on the path to the stone road, are already overcoming their inner demons. If this is a trial, they'll likely reach the clue location by passing the test.
Wow, that fast? These two are really lucky!
Inner demon test, what an outdated tactic!
It's quite good. We can also see the inner demons of the cultivators from our side. Each one is unique. It would be very interesting if there were more people.
But something's not quite right, is it? Zhong Liyu's inner demons are different from what I imagined.
Wow, it's really different. What model is that electronic device he's holding? It looks so bulky.
What's with this dazzling, spinning wheel? Is it gambling?
-
Zhong Liyu tentatively placed his hand on the handprint recessed in the stone door. When he groggily woke up, he found himself in a room.
Zhong Liyu was stunned for a long time. He had drifted here from the underwater stone path, and then he arrived here. The huge rock blocked Zhong Liyu's way.
There was a relatively flat spot on the stone. Zhong Liyu walked forward and saw a stone door and a handprint.
And then, there is this scene before us.
The familiar room was not unfamiliar; this scene also made Zhong Liyu hallucinate the illusion in Ying Fengyi's cave where he was almost possessed.
After all, the environment here is also Earth.
Judging from the room, he had probably entered some kind of environment again.
Zhong Liyu didn't observe the stone door carefully, and also missed the sign above the door.
Therefore, Zhong Liyu was unaware that she was undergoing a test of her inner demons.
The moment he pressed his palm down, he was suddenly transported back to his room from his previous life.
Zhong Liyu couldn't wait to turn on her computer, intending to reminisce about Minesweeper and Spider Solitaire.
It would be even better if we could play Don't Starve.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhong Liyu's fingers pressed on the keyboard.
Just as he was about to turn on the computer, he couldn't move his hand at all.
Zhong Liyu frowned, trying to struggle for control of her body.
Soon, the struggle ended in failure, and an invisible force pulled him back.
Zhong Liyu picked up her phone without thinking.
After several attempts, Zhong Liyu finally discovered this strange place, which was specifically designed to cure his internet addiction.
Zhong Liyu tried to move several times but couldn't leave the chair she was in, creating an endless, recurring nightmare that sent chills down one's spine.
He sighed and finally chose to sit obediently in the chair.
If you can't let me play on the computer, can't I at least play on my phone?
Zhong Liyu's gaze fell on the still locked phone.
The phone's memory is so old that even Zhong Liyu has almost forgotten the password.
Fortunately, the scene here is fictional and constructed based on Zhong Liyu's memories, so the code remains in his mind.
Zhong Liyu tried out the passwords she had memorized one by one.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and Zhong Liyu quickly turned on her phone.
Unlike the computer that prevented him from turning it on, the mobile phone opened easily, which piqued Zhong Liyu's interest.
He stared intently at the lit screen, his interest gradually turning into shock:
"What about playing with me?"
In an instant, Zhong Liyu was about to emit a sharp, explosive sound. The phone screen was neither the initial interface nor any game interface, but instead displayed a highly impactful app.
"No way, Pinduoduo, are you messing with me?"
Zhong Liyu looked at Pinduoduo's "Cut Off" feature, which she hadn't been able to help with years ago, and gradually fell into deep thought.
He was extremely familiar with the scene before him.
I still remember back then, Zhong Liyu invited dozens of people to help her cut prices on Pinduoduo, but every time she just missed the mark.
He couldn't cut it down no matter what, and this became a permanent pain for Zhong Liyu. From that moment on, he vowed never to touch the app that had broken his heart.
But now...
Zhong Liyu stared at the dazzling screen, somewhat dazed, and somehow, his fingers began to spin the dial.
The moment he clicked on it, he was destined to be consumed by it.
The repetitive pattern meant that every time Zhong Liyu wanted to give up, the remaining 0.01 made him feel that he could still try.
After finally managing to get the remaining 0.01, a new round of boosting will start on the screen.
Zhong Liyu held her phone, and the rest of the process went smoothly:
大转盘抽奖--钻石碎片--积兑换卡--四步打款审批、准备、申请、转入--然后就是一层层的审批值、提现值，看着它们从10变成1变成0.5变成0.2再到0.3--0.05--0.03--0.02--0.01。
As viewers watched the endless stream of tricks and tactics, they unconsciously began to see things from Zhong Liyu's perspective:
[We only need three more people to withdraw the money, Zhong Liyu, quickly invite three more people before we talk again.]
We've invited all three of them, is that all?
Something's not right! Why are there points and lucky cards at the end?
I looked at the rules, and it seems like you can redeem one supplementary card for five cards, and there might be duplicates.
I wonder how Zhong Liyu is doing. I feel like I'm about to lose it all. Why haven't I withdrawn my earnings yet? I've done all the tasks and invited people. They initially said I could withdraw after inviting three people, but I've invited dozens and still haven't.
After looking at it for a while, what kind of app is this? It's so addictive!
[No, are you serious? This is Zhong Liyu's inner demon, not yours!]
(Written here, will delete in a few days: Only one chapter today, 4,000 words in total, surprising, isn't it? Actually, I read a lot of comments from readers, and I was really touched to see everyone following the updates. This book will continue to be updated steadily, unless I ever run out of food. Just between you and me, I'll be begging for food from now on!)
