Transmigrated as the Villainous Love Rival of the Abusive Novel's Heroine [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Lingtian Secret Realm

The Lingtian Secret Realm had been hidden and closed for a long time since the fall of the last Rebirth stage cultivator; its tracks could not be found without the Lingtian Order.

Yin Shaoqing gripped the Lingtian Order in her hand and activated it with her true essence. A pillar of lustrous light shot into the sky with such force that it faintly overshadowed the light of day.

Fortunately, she had chosen to activate the token in a desolate, uninhabited land; otherwise, there was no telling how much trouble she would have attracted.

Yin Shaoqing stepped into the light. The ripples of the light pillar shifted, the teleportation array operated, and in less than half a moment, both the person and the pillar vanished without a trace.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

Her vision shifted. Upon emerging from the array, Yin Shaoqing stepped onto the vast, ethereal Immortal Sea.

The tremors brought by the Lingtian Order had not yet ended.

White clouds flew and swirled, and spiritual energy erupted. Tens of thousands of peaks, linked and locked together by black iron chains, were being pulled and lifted from the bottom of the deep sea by that tiny token.

The booming was incessant and soul-stirring; anyone below the Rebirth stage would likely fail to even survive the spiritual energy riot caused by these tremors.

The peaks pulled upward, reaching straight for the clouds. Finally, as a golden Earth-grade formation grandly overspread the sky and sea, the Lingtian Secret Realm was stabilized in the azure sky.

Yin Shaoqing held the Lingtian Order and stepped into the formation, but nothing happened.

The trial stone used to test spiritual power before her remained motionless.

Clearly, she had not reached the Rebirth stage and was not worthy of opening the gates of the Lingtian Realm.

Yin Shaoqing let out a cold snort. Her well-defined fingers half-gripped the Tiangang Sword; her thumb pushed lightly, revealing only half an inch of the white blade.

Instantly, silver light burst forth. The sword light spun out like a lunar wheel, and several towering peaks that pierced the clouds were sliced clean in half as if they were bean curd!

The booming collapse of the giant mountains alarmed the guardian spirit beasts of the Lingtian Secret Realm.

To the west of the realm’s gate, a thunderous roar erupted as a spirit beast came treading through the shattered peaks. It had the back of a mountain range, furious golden eyes, and Daoist runes on its forehead. It looked like a tiger but had two wings sprouting from its back—a “Flying Bear,” an Earth-grade bloodline spirit beast of the middle-stage Body Integration realm.

To the east, deep within the dark clouds, a dragon’s cry echoed for ten thousand miles! Ten thousand feet of green scales obscured the sky and blocked the sun. With four claws like a flood dragon, it had survived seven heavenly lightning tribulations and was half-transformed into a dragon—a peak-stage Body Integration spirit beast.

The two beasts’ realms were two levels higher than Yin Shaoqing’s. Tiger roar and dragon cry combined as they attacked the arrogant female cultivator!

But Yin Shaoqing stepped upon ten thousand red lotuses, her black robes snapping in the wind, her sword pressure stirring up terrifying, towering waves!

“Presumptuous!”

A clear, pleasant shout of anger struck like a swan’s cry. Yin Shaoqing stood tall and awe-inspiring, pinning down the Flying Bear and the Black Dragon with just two fingers.

Her eyes shone with auspicious light as she swirled downward, her steps measuring the Dao laws of heaven and earth. In the posture of a falling constellation, she cut straight toward the grotto of the Lingtian Realm.

Wherever her sword intent remained sharp, all obstacles vanished.

The two beasts bowed their heads; Lingtian opened wide.

Her momentum, like ten thousand soldiers and horses, was truly like an eternal sword immortal—one blade severing the dome of the universe.

If the Heavenly Gate had not closed back then, and if the Tribulation Transcendence and Mahayana masters had not yet fallen, they would have certainly regarded Yin Shaoqing as a peer from the higher ranks or a fairy who had descended from the split spirit realm.

After all, the gates of the Lingtian Secret Realm were not something anyone could simply split open at will.

As the Lingtian Secret Realm was breached, the Lingtian Orders scattered across the world all began to display abnormalities.

The great powers of various sects and even old monsters who had been in seclusion for years were alarmed. Those in seclusion emerged; those half-decayed left their grottos. The cultivation world was momentarily thrown into great chaos.

Only at the lowest level of the Zhoutian Pavilion, at the bottom of the Northern Abyss Demon Den.

Whispers, like the shrieks of evil ghosts, buzzed and rang out.

Thousands of people were in a noisy discussion.

Until an old voice rang out: “The time has come.”

“Yes, it has come,” a woman’s voice sobbed.

“We shall see the light of day again!” a ghost child wept blood.

“The little girl is quite formidable…” a man’s voice, as gentle as jade but low and raspy, added.

Even a glamorous woman chuckled: “As expected of…”

Yun Qianxue and Jiameng, who had set out from the grotto, were still unaware of what was happening in the outside world. They were still arguing incessantly about which way to go.

“I’ve followed the Exalted One for so long; my intuition will definitely find her.”

Jiameng pulled Yun Qianxue’s arm and walked north without allowing any argument, her voice firm: “Listen to me, I’m not wrong.”

Yun Qianxue let her pull, not struggling, but her words were filled with disapproval: “Jiameng, do you know the method of laying bricks for a city wall?”

“?”

Jiameng was stunned by the question. She wasn’t a mortal craftsman; why would she lay bricks?

Yun Qianxue continued with a smile: “There is a saying in brick-laying: the latecomer takes the upper hand.”

Therefore, when it comes to this tacit understanding, there is no logic in who came first.

Jiameng:

Wow, can she just go back to the Zhoutian Pavilion!

These two, a pair of stinking women showing off, showing off! Showing off my foot!

“Fine, you lead then.” Jiameng gave up completely. She shouldn’t have followed the Exalted One out. Not only did she have to be an invisible person every day, but she also had to endure the occasional critical hits from these two. For a lonely person like her, this was simply the most inhuman torture!

Upon hearing this, Yun Qianxue casually plucked a leaf and tossed it into the wind.

The wind, which was originally blowing north, suddenly turned west the moment the leaf was about to touch the ground.

Yun Qianxue nodded. “Go west.”

“Are you sure?” Jiameng was shocked by this unreliable method. She spoke with difficulty: “You can’t be serious, right?”

How was this different from a blind guess?

“Trust me.”

Yun Qianxue was very certain. If not for this ability of hers to follow her heart and the wind, she wouldn’t have found so many treasures for Pan Yang, nor would she have landed herself in life-and-death situations.

Unable to out-argue Yun Qianxue, Jiameng had no choice but to follow her.

It would be better if they couldn’t find her; that way, they wouldn’t cause trouble for her Exalted One. Although this was hard to say to Yun Qianxue, Jiameng secretly didn’t want her to find Yin Shaoqing. After all, Yun Qianxue currently had problems even protecting herself, let alone in the peril-filled Lingtian Secret Realm her Exalted One would have to divide her attention to protect her.

Yun Qianxue, however, did not know what Jiameng was thinking, her mind set on finding Yin Shaoqing.

On the other hand, her Senior Brother Pan and her father were extremely anxious, possessing not a shred of leisure. After all, they both knew that in this world, only Yun Qianxue could enter the Lingtian Secret Realm.

“Are you sure Qianxue was captured by people from the Zhoutian Pavilion?” Wan Chi had a dark face, his tone dangerous.

Pan Yang was breaking out in a cold sweat. Wan Chi had already entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm; the pressure he released was not something a Golden Core cultivator like him could withstand.

He knelt down and said with great earnestness and anxiety: “This disciple saw it with his own eyes. Junior Sister was abducted by that demoness from the Zhoutian Pavilion. Unfortunately, this disciple’s cultivation was too shallow to retrieve her and was even heavily injured.”

“Thanks to the teleportation talisman Master gave me, I was able to return by luck.”

When Pan Yang was thrown out of the Zhoutian Pavilion by Yin Shaoqing, he had specifically disguised himself as heavily injured to deceive the entire sect.

Wan Chi clenched his fist and said hatefully, “Waste! You can’t even protect your Junior Sister; you still have the face to come back!”

Without Yun Qianxue—without his precious daughter—how could he obtain the Heaven-Dew of the Vast Sea?!

“Go and invite your Master here.” Wan Chi’s gaze was chilling. “Also, gather the Golden Core retainers; we will hold a feast.”

Yun Qianxue must not fall into the hands of the demonic path. This Heavenly Gate can only be opened by him, Wan Chi!

He was the one who would save all living beings and have his name remembered for eternity!

“Yes.” Pan Yang lowered his head and left respectfully.

“Detection: The world core has not entered the secret realm. Suggesting the Child of Destiny retrieve the core promptly.”

“What?” Pan Yang was shocked, roaring in his heart: “You were the one who said only Yun Qianxue can open the Lingtian Secret Realm, and now you tell me she hasn’t entered? Then could it be a ghost who entered the realm?!”

What kind of bullshit Heavenly Messenger is this? Not a single thing is accurate!

“Zzz… Unable to detect, unable to detect…”

The mechanical voice seemed broken, incessantly repeating that one sentence.

“Damn it.” Pan Yang’s face turned purple with rage as he directly blocked the mechanical voice. “Useless!”

Everyone was fucking useless!

The trash sent to kill Yun Qianxue couldn’t even find her. In this world, aside from himself, not a single person knew how to get things done.

Pan Yang took a breath. On the day he became an immortal, he would definitely wipe everyone out!

“Tch, look at how capable you are trying to detect me watch if I don’t break you!” The fat civet cat, which had been lying on Yin Shaoqing’s shoulder, suddenly bared its teeth.

“What’s wrong?” Yin Shaoqing, who was walking through a void of emptiness, tilted her head to ask.

“Nothing.” The fat civet licked its paw and said with disdain: “It was just the Heavenly Dao of this world tracking you; I’ve already made it glitch out.”

“Not much ability, but quite a lot of nerve. It doesn’t even look at what rank of little trash it is.”

“Hmph.” The fat civet wagged its tail proudly. It was the most formidable system.

“But speaking of which, the three great immortal sects are preparing to join forces to attack the Zhoutian Pavilion and take back Yun Qianxue.”

The fat civet’s large eyes swirled with a light green data stream as it captured information: “Pan Yang secretly leaked the news that Yun Qianxue is the key to the Vast Sea Secret Realm. Now many people want to capture her to obtain the Heaven-Dew.”

Yin Shaoqing frowned. When she left, she had given Jiameng many high-grade magical treasures; as long as they didn’t get into conflicts, hiding themselves shouldn’t be a problem.

“Oh, right,” the fat civet added. “That scumbag father of the female lead also leaked the news that only the female lead can open the Lingtian Secret Realm, encouraging the three sects to unite. They plan to lead the immortal cultivators to surround the secret realm to snatch back Yun Qianxue first, then attack the Zhoutian Pavilion to seize the Heaven-Dividing Ruler.”

This was truly ambitious.

“Greed knows no bounds.” Yin Shaoqing stepped through the void, and mountains and seas appeared like a map of the world unfolding before her.

Yin Shaoqing had forcibly carved out a second shortcut to the center of the Lingtian Secret Realm. She didn’t have Yun Qianxue’s great providence, so if she truly went to look for the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit bit by bit, a thousand years might pass without finding it. It was better to just find the realm spirit of the Lingtian Secret Realm and “negotiate” with it to hand over the fruit.

Fat Civet:

Could you please go look in a mirror? With that fierce and malicious look of yours, you aren’t here to negotiate you’re clearly here for an armed robbery! You’ve basically become a female bandit!

Vast spiritual power surged forth, and for a time, beasts were alarmed and mountains shook. Yin Shaoqing closed her eyes; she could feel a sprawling, vast power awakening and reviving.

“Who are you” A crisp child’s voice drifted vaguely, approaching from afar until it stopped before Yin Shaoqing.

When she opened her eyes again, the vegetation had vanished, and the previous scenery had transformed into a magnificent palace. A little girl in a moon-white long dress floated in mid-air, her watery eyes looking at Yin Shaoqing with intense curiosity.

“I need the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit.”

Extremely direct so direct it was just a step away from saying “hand it over or I’ll kill you.”

The fat civet was beyond words.

“Huh?” Perhaps because Yin Shaoqing’s tone was too cold, the girl’s ignorant gaze gradually became clear. Having slept for too long, she had forgotten who she was upon waking.

“I closed the entrance to the secret realm long ago. Who are you, and how did you get in?” Immortal essence surged from the realm spirit, intentionally testing Yin Shaoqing.

Yin Shaoqing impatiently swept the Tiangang Sword across. The immortal essence that could easily annihilate a Mahayana cultivator was pushed aside, destroying countless immortal mountains.

The realm spirit’s expression changed. That move from Yin Shaoqing just now made it catch a familiar scent. It circled around Yin Shaoqing, looking her up and down. Just as Yin Shaoqing lost her patience and considered giving it a beating, the realm spirit’s immortal essence suddenly exploded!

The watery, cute little girl transformed in an instant into a distorted, red-eyed malevolent child. The Lingtian Realm boomed incessantly, showing signs of complete collapse.

“It’s you it’s actually you” The realm spirit roared shrilly, “I will kill you to avenge my master!”

Yin Shaoqing actually had the mind to slowly tilt her head, her face full of doubt: “?”

This thing probably has something wrong with it; a beating should fix it.
