Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

“Why?” Dong Xi frowned.

“All these years, you’ve suffered so many attacks from me,” Su Cheng said lightly. “All of them were for nothing. You don’t have a good memory.”

Dong Xi was stunned. Su Cheng continued, “As long as a cultivator with a high cultivation base still has a breath left in him, it’s instinctive for him to retaliate. If you recklessly inject spiritual energy into him, I’m afraid it will backfire.”

Dong Xi immediately understood and retracted her hand.

What did Dong Xi have to do with his father-in-law fainting? Of course, his life was more important.

“Thanks for the reminder,” Dong Xi coughed lightly and said.

“Very good, you have a grateful heart,” said Su Cheng with a smile.

“Thank you for reminding me how ruthless you have been to me these past few years,” said Dong Xi seriously.

Su Cheng, “…”

If Su Cheng had really defended himself seriously, how could this little girl have survived until today?

Dong Xi threw the unconscious Shangguan Patriarch aside and took out a communication jade slip. Dong Xi sent a message to Rui Ming.

[Senior Brother, do you really not need my help?]

Rui Ming stood in the darkness, his eyes exceptionally bright. Rui Ming said in his voice, “No need.”

After saying that, Rui Ming put away the communication jade slip and the barrier.

In the next second, the cries of cranes spread throughout the Secret Realm. Some cultivators who were fighting also stopped and shouted at each other.

“Demon beasts are here!”

“It sounded like cranes.”

“Could it be that the demons are also optimistic about this Secret Realm?”

…

Before the group of cultivators could come to a conclusion, a large shadow fell over their heads.

Everyone looked over and saw rows of crane feathers flying by, emitting a metallic glow.

Only then did everyone react and speak one after another.

“The Crane Demon has entered!”

“The restriction is gone. Let’s hurry in too. We can’t let the demons get there first.”

After saying that, some people had already rushed forward.

However, a few of them bumped into the restriction and immediately bled. No one went over.

Everyone was confused and started discussing.

“What’s going on? Why can the Crane Demon enter?”

“That Crane Demon must have found the key before entering.”

“It’s too late to find it now. Let’s attack together. I don’t believe that we can’t break a restriction with so many people.”

“That’s right. Everyone attack together.”

…

All kinds of binding techniques smashed at the restriction, but the restriction was like an ocean. All the attacks hit it.

“Fellow Daoists, now is not the time to hide your strength,” one of them said. “Bring out your trump cards. If we delay any longer, the treasures inside will be taken away by that Crane Demon!”

When everyone heard this, they all became serious. The restriction finally fluctuated. Rui Ming did not know what happened after that. Rui Ming flew into the abyss and felt an inexplicable familiarity.

This feeling seemed to be… It was like going home.

There seemed to be something in the abyss that kept calling for Rui Ming. The deeper he went, the more undercurrents there were. The wind was like a knife, cutting Rui Ming’s feathers.

Rui Ming’s beak slowly turned golden. His eyes, neck, wings… Everything was changing.

From afar, Rui Ming looked like a metal machine, emitting a golden light.

In the end, Rui Ming slowly descended into the abyss.

This place was filled with colorful crystals, as if it was specially laid out for Rui Ming to return. Rui Ming’s eyes were a little dazed.

In his memories, Rui Ming seemed to have been seriously injured and could no longer maintain his human form.

He could only shrink himself and fall into a forest.

A pair of feet appeared in front of Rui Ming. Rui Ming wanted to see who it was, but his vision was blurred by the blood.

Rui Ming could not remember what happened after that. Whenever he thought about what happened after that, he would have a headache.

How did he get hurt back then? Did the leg belong to Elder Fu Rui?

…

Rui Ming did not have time to think too much. He took out some crystals from his storage bag. Junior Sister Dong Xi would probably like these. He would take them back for her. It would be a worthwhile trip.

After everything was done, Rui Ming left and continued to fly deeper.

The deeper he went, the more violent the wind blades became. It was impossible for ordinary people to get close.

Rui Ming stepped on the wind blade, like a fallen leaf, spinning with the wind.

Rui Ming drifted with the wind like this, advancing another few dozen miles.

The front suddenly brightened up.

The rocks that had been blown by the strong wind gave off waves of green light. They were all Wind-Swallowing Stones.

In the middle of the Wind-Swallowing Stones, there was a huge bird’s nest.

The bird’s nest was made of agarwood, and there was a faint glow inside.
