One complete cycle meant full completion.
In Bai Sha’s perception, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy within her body had finally reached completion.
In that instant, Bai Sha felt as if the entire world had opened a new door for her. She stepped into a new realm, where the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy inside her automatically transformed into Demonic Power, circulating along the path of the Raging Waves Art.
At this moment, Bai Sha’s aura changed. She had become a Demon Cultivator of the Early Qi Condensation stage!
The Profound Water Turtle glanced at Bai Sha in surprise, apparently not expecting her to complete her breakthrough so quickly.
The Tiger-Striped Seal also stopped banging on the Cage, casting a strange look her way.
Even the Purple Horn Electric Eel, crying in the corner, secretly raised her head to glance at Bai Sha.
The reason for their surprise was how quickly Bai Sha had entered the threshold.
They were all Demon Cultivators of the Early Qi Condensation stage, and the path Bai Sha walked was one they had all tread before. They knew well that entering the initial stage seemed simple but was actually quite difficult. The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy circulating for one cycle within the body often dissipated halfway. Maintaining a continuous cycle was no easy feat.
Judging by the time, Bai Sha had clearly succeeded on her very first attempt.
This could only mean one of two things.
First, extraordinary talent, and the circumstances of a genius naturally defied common logic.
Second, an extraordinary technique. The higher the quality of the technique, the more benefits it naturally brought to cultivation.
They were all Demon Cultivators with no one to rely on, so naturally, they couldn’t possess any profound techniques. In the eyes of the Profound Water Turtle and the other two Demon Cultivators, Bai Sha was undoubtedly the kind of Demon Cultivator with exceptional talent.
“What a pity.”
The Profound Water Turtle shook his head and sighed.
Even exceptional talent was useless right now. Having fallen into the hands of Wind-Thunder Observatory Cultivators, their future was bleak. No matter how good one’s talent, it would be difficult to find a use for it.
The Tiger-Striped Seal and Purple Horn Electric Eel both withdrew their gazes, sharing the same view as the Profound Water Turtle.
So this is a Demon Core Technique? It seems incomparable to Qi Condensation or Foundation Establishment techniques.
Feeling the Demonic Power circulating within her body, Bai Sha revealed a satisfied expression.
She then looked at her Status Panel.
Name: Bai Sha
Cultivation: Early Qi Condensation
Simulation Count: 3
Simulation Saves: 1
Technique: Raging Waves Art
Some changes had occurred on the panel. First was the change in her cultivation level, and a Technique column had also been added.
After scanning it twice, Bai Sha closed her panel and recalled the subsequent content of the Raging Waves Art in her mind. She had memorized at least the Qi Condensation stage portions of this technique.
Thinking about the subsequent cultivation content, Bai Sha couldn’t help but feel helpless.
Because after stepping into the Early Qi Condensation stage, if she wanted to further improve her cultivation through the Raging Waves Art, she still needed to continuously sprint and experience raging waves in the seawater. This was clearly impossible while trapped in this Cage.
Not only was Bai Sha unable to continue her cultivation, but she also couldn’t learn any spells.
The Raging Waves Art had a set of matching spells, but those spells required reaching the Late Qi Condensation stage before they could be practiced. It seemed that for the creator of the Raging Waves Art, one only needed to follow the prescribed steps of cultivation before then.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Sha looked towards the Profound Water Turtle.
Noticing Bai Sha’s gaze, the Profound Water Turtle also looked over.
“Senior, do you know any Spells?” Bai Sha asked expectantly.
“Spells?” The Profound Water Turtle shook his head. “I haven’t been a Demon Cultivator for long, so how could I have had the chance to learn spells?”
Hearing this, Bai Sha then looked towards the Tiger-Striped Seal and the Purple Horn Electric Eel.
“You’re still thinking about learning spells at a time like this?” The Profound Water Turtle looked at Bai Sha oddly. “You should be very clear about our current situation. Even if you mastered some spell, what use would it be? It won’t help you escape from this place.”
“I’m just curious,” Bai Sha said with a smile.
“Curious?” The Profound Water Turtle fell silent for a moment, then said, “For a Demon Cultivator like us with no one to rely on, joining the Demon Alliance is undoubtedly the best choice. Then you can exchange Contribution Points for spells.”
“Demon Alliance?” Bai Sha quickly asked, “Do you know much about the Demon Alliance?”
This wasn’t the first time Bai Sha had heard of the Demon Alliance. During her first two lives under the White King’s command, she had often heard about the Demon Alliance. It was said to be a massive organization formed by the gathering of countless Demon Cultivators, and the White King was a Demon Cultivator belonging to it.
However, the Demon Alliance’s main territory was in the Sunlight Sea. On this side, in the Eastern Sea, there was only a branch of the Demon Alliance.
“I originally planned to go join the Demon Alliance, but I never expected to encounter this disaster while passing through here.” The Profound Water Turtle’s tone was full of regret.
Still, he briefly told Bai Sha about the Demon Alliance’s situation, letting her understand how to join.
As the Profound Water Turtle explained in detail, Bai Sha gained a deeper understanding of this colossal entity, and many ideas began to sprout.
Above the Coral Abyss, the figures of Bloodthirsty Swordfish began to emerge one after another.
Each of these Bloodthirsty Swordfish had a sickle-like dorsal fin, a crescent-moon-shaped tail fin, and pectoral fins positioned low on their bellies. Their bodies were slender, with long, sword-like snouts, and their skin displayed a blood-red hue.
“Chief, the location seems to be right below,” one Bloodthirsty Swordfish said to the leader.
The leading Bloodthirsty Swordfish was at the very front. His size was much larger than the rest; while the other Bloodthirsty Swordfish were two to three meters long, he was a full five meters long!
Overlooking the Coral Abyss, the leading Bloodthirsty Swordfish said coldly, “The Raging Waves Art is our clan’s Demon Core Technique. Traces of a Demon Cultivator circulating the Raging Waves Art have appeared here. We cannot turn a blind eye. We must investigate the situation.”
“There seem to be Human Cultivators hiding here,” the Bloodthirsty Swordfish who spoke earlier added.
“I know, but so what? We continue downward.”
Without fear, the leading Bloodthirsty Swordfish swam down towards the Coral Abyss, his snout cleaving through the seawater, leaving a trail of violently rolling water bubbles.
Seeing this, the other Bloodthirsty Swordfish followed suit.
Outside the Cage, conflict between the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan and the Wind-Thunder Observatory Cultivators erupted without any suspense.
Violent waves and Wind Thunder Spells collided with each other. The intense booming sounds transmitted far through the seabed, causing the seawater to churn and boil.
Inside the Cage, the many imprisoned Demon Cultivators watched this sudden outbreak of battle with astonishment.
“An unexpected delight! Could it be that these Bloodthirsty Swordfish can’t stand the Wind-Thunder Observatory Cultivators capturing Demon Cultivators and have come to save us?” Seeing this scene, the Profound Water Turtle couldn’t help but show a joyful expression.
Within cage after cage, many Demon Cultivators began to harbor hope.
Only Bai Sha was not overly optimistic.
“Bloodthirsty Swordfish…”
Within Bai Sha’s mind, the figure from her first life emerged—the one who had stormed into the White King’s territory and slain the White King and all the Great White Sharks.
It was a Demon Cultivator who called himself Jian Yun, and his race was Bloodthirsty Swordfish!
