Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Fang Yu gritted her teeth. Having heard enough of Ji Xian’s nonsense, she violently waved her hand.

The thousands of ice daggers shot forward with unmatched speed. The whistling sound of the wind followed them as they all aimed for the figure covered in black armor.

The sky was obstructed by their sheer number but it was as if Ji Xian hasn’t noticed them. His eyes lightly glowed as he observed Fang Yu without so much as blinking.

Just as the ice daggers were about to hit him, the long black cape that hung from his shoulders moved on its own.

It spun around his body, creating an impenetrable wall that easily blocked the incoming attack.

The ice daggers exploded one by one into countless tiny shards from the collision and created a deafening bang that produced a powerful gust of wind.

At the Core Yin Pavilion, the numerous Elders noticed the flashing sky and they watched on with bewilderment.

After a moment, an Elder finally asked, “Is the First Yin Pavilion Master testing her Divine Arts?

“It would make sense…” another Elder hesitated before gently nodding her head.

Fang Yu has been in a sleep that lasted for over twenty years, it was possible that her skills had diminished and that she was trying to return to her peak. Many people thought this was reasonable and didn’t think too much about it.

Shao Qinglian, however, was feeling uneasy as she stared at the cloudy sky.

“Sect Master, I’ll head up and check on the First Yin Pavilion Master,” Li Yifan, the Second Yin Pavilion Master, said emotionlessly.

“This…” Shao Qinglian considered it while at the same time, bitterly smiled.

Junior Sister Li Yifan and I joined the sect almost at the same time but even after all these years, she’s still so distant.

Of course, Shao Qinglian had no reason to be unhappy about this because she acted this way to everybody, not just her.

Because of Li Yifan’s apathetic attitude, her popularity among the disciples and Elders was the lowest. Next would be Guo Xinyi since there were still many that doubted her abilities. Fang Yu has always been the favorite. She has always shown care toward everybody and she was capable.

Shao Qinglian never minded Li Yifan’s behavior because she was the same way just not as extreme since she needed to mind her image. Besides, although Li Yifan rarely shows her thoughts or concern, she does genuinely care for the disciples and Elders, she just isn’t expressive about it.

…

As Shao Qinglian was about to nod her head to have Li Yifan check on Fang Yu, she suddenly heard Xia Lihua’s voice in her head.

Her brow raised and she hesitated. Finally, she shook her head, “It’s fine, we’ll wait for Junior Sister Fang Yu.”

“…”

Li Yifan paused. She gently nodded before stepping back. She looked at the rumbling in the clouds and her eyes slightly narrowed. It was so subtle that no one noticed it.

She inwardly sneered.

I can feel it. Nether Water? That pathetic ability.

It must be you… and here I thought you would go back into hiding after what you did to Fang Yu that year. You were lucky to have run so fast otherwise I would’ve…

To personally come to the Ardent Yin Sect, you must be courting death, you worthless Nether. Do not think I will allow you to do whatever you want just because you have become one of us. If anything happens to Fang Yu again, I’ll send you and your whole branch into the depths of the Paralix.

Li Yifan glanced at the young man who stood next to Yue Li. Like everyone else, he was also looking at the sky curiously. It doesn’t look like he could sense the Nether Water. Upon seeing this, she shook her head and ignored him. Not every Graha was as sensitive to it as she was.

…

The last wave of ice daggers flew at Ji Xian. Like an egg hitting a rock, they all exploded into tiny shards.

Fang Yu didn’t summon more. She frowned when she saw there wasn’t even a scratch on the black wall.

The cape pulled back and unwound, revealing Ji Xian who was completely unharmed. The green mystical patterns on his armor softly glowed in the night sky and he exuded a sinister aura.

“Shame, shame. Your life was saved by me, so by right, it should belong to me. Why do you resist? Do you have any idea how many women would kill just to be by my side? Just take a look at Xiao Yueyin. Even the Dragon Saintess wasn’t able to fight her urges to be with me, “ Ji Xian said shamelessly.

“What!? What kind of nonsense are you spouting, you idiot!” Xiao Yueyin exclaimed. Her face reddened with rage and embarrassment.

Xia Lihua giggled after seeing how flustered Xiao Yueyin looked. She reached out and patted her head to calm her down.

“Sister…” Xiao Yueyin pursed her lips before unhappily looking back at Ji Xian.

Idiot, you’re the one who’s going to want to be with me. Hmph!

…

Fang Yu had a cold expression. All of Ji Xian’s words went in one ear and out the other. At this point, she was no longer rationally thinking. She had but one thought and that was to kill Ji Xian! The Nether Armor was reminding her of too many bad memories. She doesn’t want to see it!

Fang Yu held out her hand and a white spear appeared in her grip. It had a slim body and a blue tassel was tied to the shaft, just below the sharp blade.

She spun the spear behind her while her aura skyrocketed.

With her other hand, she performed a hand sign.

“Flame of Ice Scripture, Spark of Glacier Flame.”

Suddenly, a blue light ignited from her glabella,

A blue flame erupted and it instantly enveloped her body!

Fang Yu was set ablaze in this beautiful flame, even her spear was cloaked in it! When she breathes, two streams of fire would escape from the corner of her mouth. Her white gown could no longer be seen, it was replaced by the dense blue flame. She was like a human torch!

Oddly enough, the temperature in the surrounding didn’t decrease or increase but rather, it felt comfortable.

Ji Xian’s eyes shined even brighter at this scene. He could see the space around them was beginning to blur from the appearance of the flame.

Combination of ice and fire, huh?

He chuckled before raising his hand. A pillar of water rose from the ocean from his action. The water turned black and formed into a hammer with a long handle.

Ji Xian looked at it with a hint of pity before grabbing it.

What a shame. I can only ever create Nether Water of the lowest quality. It can’t be helped, I’m not a Nether after all. I don’t share their bloodline and I haven’t had the time yet to adjust their cultivation method to suit me.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should’ve saved some of Di Shi’s Nether Water… ah whatever, this ability isn’t that great anyway. Average at best. But with that said, the Nether Water that I extracted from Fang Yu, however, is... different.

As he mused to himself, Fang Yu disappeared from his line of sight.

Ji Xian calmly lifted his head.

Fang Yu shot down like a meteor, leaving behind a trail of fire behind her. Her hair fluttered wildly in the wind. She held the flaming spear with two hands and she stabbed forward with devastating might!

The clouds instantly dispersed and the space slightly shuddered.

Ji Xian smiled. As the sharp blade was about to pierce his head, he casually swung his hammer forward and met the tip of the spear.

The moment their weapons collided, it created a world-shaking explosion that forced the formation of the Ardent Yin Sect to appear!

Xiao Yueyin was forced backward but Xia Lihua quickly held her hand and kept her in place.

Her heart raced as she tried to recall what she had just seen but everything happened too fast!

All she saw was a flaming beam descending at the speed of light and colliding with Ji Xian.

…

With the disappearance of the clouds, Shao Qinglian was finally able to see what was happening in the sky. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the scene in front of her.

Fang Yu was exchanging blows with a person in black armor!

Shao Qinglian already had an idea of what might be happening earlier when she got the spiritual sense message from Xia Lihua but she didn’t expect a full blown battle to take place.

She noticed her and Xiao Yueyin in the distance and she could immediately guess that the black armored person in heated combat with Fang Yu was Ji Xian!

She inwardly complained.

Junior Sister, you just woke up and you’re picking a fight with someone who could be at the Extreme Level? Are you crazy!?
