Chapter 90 | My Little Martial Sister Is a Genius Who Still Grinds Like Hell

There were only a few jade slips, so Wen Jingshu found them very quickly.

Sending her divine sense inside, Wen Jingshu froze for a moment the instant she saw the contents.

This was actually a Heaven-grade cultivation method, Heavenly Dao Concealment!

Wait, were high-level cultivation methods as common as cabbage on the side of the road? Weren't they supposed to be extremely rare?

How was she picking them up like cabbage? First, she had obtained the Earth-grade sword art, the Xianguan Sword Art, and now, in less than two years, she had run into a Heaven-grade cultivation method like Heavenly Dao Concealment?

Wen Jingshu marveled at how her luck had skyrocketed after becoming the young Wen Jingshu. On second thought, her finding these opportunities afterward could also be considered a destiny preordained in the dark.

Her birth had already defied the heavens. She had nearly died while in the womb, but surviving after being pushed to the brink of death meant that extreme adversity would inevitably bring prosperity.

As for her subsequent opportunities, they ultimately stemmed from her refining the Shengsheng Bead first.

As the main bead of the Yinian'an, the Shengsheng Bead would react whenever it sensed the presence of a sub-bead nearby.

Whether it was her later entry into the Divine Ruins because of the Boundary-Breaking Bead, finding the Hunyuan Bead at a street stall, or finding the Hundun Bead this time, all of it was due to the guidance of the Shengsheng Bead.

With the main and sub-beads of the Yinian'an attracting each other, finding the rest was merely a matter of time and order.

The Xianguan Sword Art was obtained due to Yun Xiange's unusual behavior, and Heavenly Dao Concealment was acquired through her counter-killing.

Where there was a cause, there would naturally be an effect.

This was not a good place for secluded cultivation. After sorting through all her spoils, she exited the Shengsheng Bead.

Wen Jingshu looked at her surroundings... This wasn't Cangwu Forest?

No way. Had she ended up somewhere else again?

Wen Jingshu observed her surroundings. An endless grassland stretched out before her under a blue sky with white clouds. A gentle breeze blew past. Truth be told, it was quite pleasant.

Except for the complete absence of any living creatures.

This must have originally been a secret realm. The Hundun Bead had likely fallen into this realm and, due to its unique nature, created a separate space of its own.

Guided by the Shengsheng Bead, she had gone straight to that space, while Sun Yang, who was following her, could only end up in this secret realm.

With the Boundary-Breaking Bead in hand, Wen Jingshu was in no hurry to leave. She flew on her sword, wandering around the secret realm for nearly an hour, but she still encountered nothing.

There were no spiritual plants, nor were there any demon beasts. The only living things were the ordinary blades of grass beneath her feet.

Perhaps even this grass was fake.

This place might be an illusion.

With this hypothesis in mind, Wen Jingshu quickly released Congbai.

Congbai was a phantom fox and was extremely sensitive to illusions. Following Congbai's lead, Wen Jingshu found a cave entrance.

The cave was completely obscured by weeds, and her divine sense was restricted here. Had it not been for Congbai's guidance, Wen Jingshu wouldn't have noticed this place at all.

The tunnel inside was exceptionally dark. Wen Jingshu released her Glazed Fire to illuminate the way and walked all the way to the depths.

Suddenly, a refreshing and exotic fragrance wafted over. When Wen Jingshu blinked again, a series of scenes unfolded before her eyes.

Judging by the surroundings in the vision, it did not seem to be the cultivation world.

A commotion echoed. Wen Jingshu saw a female immortal fleeing in a hurry, pursued by seven or eight cultivators.

The female immortal was outnumbered and eventually collapsed to the ground, severely injured.

“Miss Mu, why must you do this? No matter how good the treasure is, you must have a life to enjoy it.”

“Our Lord gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Thus, we can only come and take it ourselves.”

Mu Yanghe sneered at his words and said,

“Even if I handed this treasure over with both hands, would he really let me go? Such excuses are barely enough to fool a three-year-old child.”

“If I die, the Mu family won't let you off either. As for that 'Lord' of yours, heh, he is nothing but a sewer rat hiding in the dark.”

“You risk your lives for him like this, but when the Mu family hunts you down... will he step forward to save you?”

The pursuers did not get angry at Mu Yanghe's mockery. They looked at her as if they were looking at a dead person.

“Save your breath. You won't drive a wedge between us and our Lord.”

“For the sake of our past friendship, I can give you a swift death.”

Mu Yanghe closed her eyes as if accepting her fate. The men drew their magical tools and unleashed a fatal strike at her.

At the exact moment they attacked, Mu Yanghe suddenly threw out a bracelet.

Wen Jingshu's eyes narrowed as she stared at the bracelet.

Could that bracelet be... Yinian'an?

The bracelet radiated a dazzling light, forcefully blocking the incoming attacks.

However, the bracelet was already damaged, and after withstanding this blow, it reached its absolute limit.

Mu Yanghe seized the opportunity to grab her treasure, tore through the void, and leapt inside.

The men watched Mu Yanghe vanish into thin air, their expressions incredibly grim.

Forget it. The void was such a dangerous place; even if Mu Yanghe was at the half-step Immortal Monarch Stage, she wouldn't survive it.

Even if they hadn't obtained the treasure, at least no one else had either.

The void was filled with turbulent blades of spatial energy, and Mu Yanghe was forced to activate the bracelet to protect herself.

Mu Yanghe did not know how long she had stubbornly resisted in the void, but she finally found a weak point and escaped.

At that very moment, the bracelet could no longer bear the strain and snapped.

Instantly, beads of various colors scattered in all directions. One of them, radiating a seven-colored light, landed on an ordinary tree on Cangwu Island.

The tree immediately began to glow with seven-colored light, attracting countless cultivators.

Since she was closest to this bead, Mu Yanghe arrived first and formed hand seals to isolate this area of heaven and earth.

Afterward, Mu Yanghe recuperated here. Unfortunately, her injuries were far too severe. Even with the help of the Hundun Bead, she only managed to survive for half a year before ultimately passing away at this spot...

The scenes before her eyes gradually faded. When Wen Jingshu blinked again, she saw a skeleton sitting cross-legged in meditation deep within the cave.

The skeleton was as white as jade. Even after thousands of years, it still emitted a faint, lustrous glow. Aside from a few fractured spots, it looked almost as if it had been carved from ten-thousand-year spirit-nourishing jade.

Since Mu Yanghe came from the Immortal Realm, she must have been an immortal, which meant these bones were likely immortal bones.

And what she had just witnessed was probably the scene of Mu Yanghe's final moments.

This was the first time Wen Jingshu had seen immortal bones, so she couldn't help but walk a circle around them.

For some reason, Wen Jingshu felt that these bones retained a trace of spiritual energy, not looking like a dead object at all.

Could this be the difference between an immortal and a cultivator?

Wen Jingshu stroked her chin in thought.

Forgive her lack of experience, but she couldn't figure it out.

Adhering to the principles of "minding one's own business" and "curiosity killed the cat," Wen Jingshu did not step forward. She scanned her surroundings once more, and finding no treasures, she turned to leave.
