Within the deep pit.
Jiang Yuechu's expression was indifferent.
She ignored the horrified gazes around her.
She merely slowly withdrew her right arm, which had pierced through the wolf's head.
At the same time.
[Killed an Ascending to the Tower Realm Creature, gained 859,323 years of Dao Cultivation]
Coupled with what she had accumulated from previously slaying the two Demons, Qianyu and Chixue.
The number on her system panel had now jumped to an unprecedented and terrifying height.
[Current Dao Cultivation: 3,633,623 years]
Jiang Yuechu narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling the uncalmed restlessness within her body.
Just as she was about to let out a sigh of relief.
A cold notification sound actually rang out in her mind again.
[Detected current Dao Cultivation has broken through the three million year mark]
[Celestial Demon Martial Practice - Furnace, has been activated]
Hmm?
Jiang Yuechu paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Celestial Demon Martial Practice?
This was unexpected.
She hadn't paid attention to this thing since it finished deducing the Great Black Heaven.
It wasn't because it was useless.
On the contrary, it was because she lacked Dao Cultivation too much.
Demons needed it, Cultivation Techniques needed it... she truly had no mind to spare for deducing Cultivation Techniques.
With a thought, a line of small text appeared before her eyes.
[The Demon Codex as the furnace, creation as the craftsman, multiple innate Divine Abilities can be thrown into the furnace, refined and purified, melted and recast, combined into one, transforming into a supreme Divine Ability]
Looking at this explanation, Jiang Yuechu fell into thought.
This was a good thing.
Along the way, she had slain countless Demons, and her scattered innate Divine Abilities had long piled up like mountains.
Some, like Reverse Battle and Eternal Evergreen, were still very useful even in the Denglou Realm.
But others... such as Moving Mountains and Filling Seas, she used to use them.
But now.
They had long become a chicken rib.
Tasteless to eat, a pity to discard.
Piled up on the system panel, they were simply annoying to look at.
If she could reshape them... the young girl lowered her eyes, concealing the sharp glint within them.
If she could throw all these broken things in, even if she couldn't forge some earth-shattering Divine Ability.
As long as she could get something useful that would elevate her strength even further.
Then this function would be worth a try.
However, she still shook her head.
Now was not a good time to try this new method.
There were other matters to attend to.
Dark, inky mist instantly surged beneath her feet.
At this point, she no longer needed to worry about other people's gazes.
Even if she performed the act of devouring Demons and souls in front of everyone.
Who would dare to say a word?
The black mist transformed into chains, brutally dragging the remnant soul back.
She casually stuffed it into a large acupoint.
A few sparks instantly emerged on her skin, then sank back into her body.
Immediately after.
Myriad Demon Swallowing Heaven Method, activate.
The Primordial Spirit essence that had not yet dispersed, along with the vast demonic power contained within that remnant soul.
Transformed into a surging torrent, madly pouring into the young girl's acupoints.
Within her Qi Sea, monstrous waves were stirred.
Ascending the Tower fifth level.
It did not stop.
Perhaps because it hadn't suffered too much destruction this time.
The remaining fragments of the Primordial Spirit were relatively intact, pushing her cultivation to ascend once more.
Until—
Ascending the Tower sixth level!
"Hoo..."
As the young girl concluded her cultivation.
The terrifying anomaly finally began to dissipate.
Only the messy ground and the scorched deep pit indicated what a tragic battle had just taken place here.
"..."
After a long while.
Finally, faint footsteps sounded.
Several members of the Lu Clan, clustered around an old man in green robes, cautiously approached.
It was precisely the Lu Clan Old Ancestor who had previously controlled the grand array.
Upon reaching Jiang Yuechu's presence.
The old man took a deep breath and adjusted his attire.
Then, he bowed deeply: "This old man is Lu Gexian, currently serving as the head of the Lu Clan."
"If not for your esteemed presence today, turning the tide, my Lu Clan of Qifeng Ridge would have faced a great catastrophe."
"This kindness, the entire Lu Clan will never forget."
Jiang Yuechu slowly turned around.
The scarlet glow in her eyes, not yet fully dispersed, made Lu Gexian's heart skip a beat.
Such heavy Evil Qi.
If the young girl hadn't just helped the Lu Clan and shown goodwill.
He would have drawn his sword in fear by now.
Jiang Yuechu did not reply, merely accepting the bow with a calm expression.
Seeing this.
Lu Gexian was not annoyed; instead, his reverence grew even stronger.
A strong person naturally should possess the arrogance of a strong person.
He straightened his posture, turned his head, and gave a meaningful look to the outside.
Several Lu Clan elites, holding various items, walked over fearfully.
These were precisely the Magic Treasures that Demon Emperor Crimson Heaven had previously unleashed.
A golden seal and nine Flying Swords.
All of them had lost their original luster and appeared somewhat dim.
Lu Gexian reached out, took them, and respectfully presented them to Jiang Yuechu with both hands.
"Your esteemed Divine Might slays Demons and eradicates evil."
"Since this Demon was slain by your esteemed self, these spoils of war naturally belong to you."
"Though my Lu Clan is small, we understand the rules and would never dare to embezzle even a fraction."
These words were exquisitely put.
They both clarified the ownership of the items, flattered the other party, and made the Lu Clan appear sensible.
Jiang Yuechu lowered her gaze, her sight sweeping over the Magic Treasures.
The golden seal was heavy, and the Flying Swords were sharp.
They were indeed good items.
It was only when encountering a body as tyrannical and unreasonable as hers that they seemed useless and like a chicken rib.
If an ordinary Ascending the Tower Cultivator encountered them, they would likely suffer greatly.
Although Jiang Yuechu was not accustomed to using Magic Treasures.
With the Divine Ability of Flesh and Bone as Furnace.
She naturally wouldn't be polite.
However... the young girl's brow slightly raised.
Her gaze lingered for a moment on her severely damaged black robes.
Lu Gexian, who had been observing her expressions, was slightly stunned.
Then his gaze circled the young girl's waist, and he looked at the pile of miscellaneous items he was holding.
He suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Oh dear, look at my memory!"
Lu Gexian's face broke into an apologetic smile, and as he spoke, he fumbled to untie a cloth bag hanging from his waist.
Without any pretense, he directly inverted the bag, pouring out all the various items inside.
Then, he presented the empty cloth bag with both hands.
"This old man was inconsiderate; I've made you laugh, esteemed one."
"This item is called a hanxu bag. Although it's not a top-tier Magic Treasure, it's quite convenient for storage."
At this point.
The old man paused, then added meaningfully.
"Furthermore, this bag is woven from ice silkworm silk mixed with calming grass. Wearing it on one's person also has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the spirit, which is quite effective for stabilizing one's mental state."
This old man... is quite perceptive.
Jiang Yuechu did not decline.
She raised her hand to take the hanxu bag, and with a thought, a wisp of True Qi, like a fine thread, probed into it.
Buzz.
The mouth of the bag opened slightly, without any obstruction.
The space inside was quite large, roughly the size of two football fields.
Although it couldn't compare to Divine Abilities like Fish Belly Storage, it was undoubtedly much larger than the storage jade pendants used by the Great Tang Demon Suppression Division... If not for the Demon Suppression Division's jade pendants being too precious and having too many restrictions, she wouldn't still lack a storage item to this day.
