Chapter 513 Training Space
"What grudge I hold against her is none of your business, is it?"
"But I can tell you, my purpose in finding her is to kill her completely!"
"When I escorted you back to the Central Region, you promised to give me Ji Ruyan's blood. That settled the matter. As for other matters, you have no right to interfere."
Su Yang's smile was not far from her eyes, but her oppressive and chilling gaze swept over Ji Yanmei.
She suddenly felt as if she were in a cold ice cave. By the time Ji Yanmei came to her senses, she was covered in cold sweat.
Ji Yanmei swallowed hard, but she forced herself to overcome her fear and said again:
"Senior...but..."
Instantly, Ji Yanmei felt the pressure on her body increase dramatically! It was so heavy that she couldn't even lift her head.
"Yanmei!" "Second Miss!"
Luo Chen and Ji Mang quickly came to Ji Yanmei's side.
Su Yang said coldly, "I have my reasons for killing Ji Ruyan. If you dare to ask any more questions, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"And..." Su Yang seemed to have thought of something, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.
"You care so much about the life and death of your seventh half-sister, but she hates your Ji family to the core and wants to kill everyone in your Ji family!"
"Not only that, if I told you that she colluded with the Zerg and wanted to destroy the entire Canglan Realm, would you still want to stop me from killing her?"
After Su Yang finished speaking, a mocking glint flashed in her eyes. She then withdrew her oppressive aura towards Ji Yanmei and spoke to Luo Chen, who was standing to the side.
"Junior Brother Luo, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After that, Su Yang flashed away and quickly left the place.
Luo Chen rushed to Ji Yanmei's side, "Yanmei, are you alright?"
Ji Yanmei forced herself to calm down and said, "Brother Luo Chen, I'm fine."
"But my seventh half-sister..."
Luo Chen shook his head at Ji Yanmei with a serious expression. "Yanmei, I understand Su Yang's personality."
"She wouldn't harbor murderous intent towards your seventh half-sister without a reason."
"Furthermore, didn't Senior Sister Su Yang say that your seventh half-sister colluded with the insectoid race to destroy the Canglan Realm? If that's true, then we really must kill her as soon as possible!"
Ji Yanmei pondered for a moment, then nodded hesitantly and sighed.
If Ji Ruyan is truly colluding with the insectoid race, even the Ji family cannot protect her!

Demon Realm, Ghost Shadow Sect.
Inside a palace, a cold, damp atmosphere permeated the air, filled with an endless sense of terror and eeriness.
Inside the palace, a woman in pink, her face veiled, sat gracefully on a bed.
"This time, we must place that thing within the Heavenly Abyss during our journey there."
"Why is that?" Ji Ruyan asked, puzzled.
"I just found out that the sealed Queen Insect Leg in the Demon Realm has been completely wiped out!"
"What?! The sealed insect leg in the Demon Realm has actually been destroyed?! How is this possible?! Didn't you say that the Insect Queen couldn't be destroyed? Why is that insect leg in the Demon Realm just gone like that?"
"It's chaotic spiritual power!"
"Chaotic spiritual power?!" Ji Ruyan was hearing this term for the first time.
"Chaotic spiritual power is a power that only those with chaotic spiritual roots can cultivate. For us insect race, chaotic spiritual power is our nemesis. We insect race have almost no ability to resist it."
Ji Ruyan's eyes widened in surprise for a moment. "So, does that mean the insect leg sealed in the Demon Realm was destroyed by someone who cultivates chaotic spiritual power?!"
"Yes! There is no other force that can completely kill the Queen!"
“A long time ago, we discovered that there were people in the Canglan Realm who could cultivate chaotic spiritual power, but unfortunately, those who cultivated chaotic spiritual power were too cunning and escaped from our hands several times.”
"Just in case, besides continuing to hunt down the person who cultivates chaotic spiritual power and protecting the remaining six domains' insect queen seal, we must also make another preparation!"
"And this time, Tianyuan is an opportunity!"
"Tianyuan is the shadow space of the Canglan Realm. Hiding that thing in Tianyuan is something those people in the Canglan Realm would never expect!"
"Even if the Insect Queen sealed in the Azure Realm is completely destroyed by then, our Insect Race will still have a chance to make a comeback!"
Ji Ruyan nodded slightly, "I understand."
As soon as Ji Ruyan thought of the person who cultivated chaotic spiritual power mentioned by the worms inside her body, Su Yang's image instantly appeared in her mind.
A sudden flash of murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
"Su Yang! You bitch! My cultivation has now reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage! Breaking through to the Void Refinement stage is just a thought away. If you're unlucky enough to end up in the Heavenly Abyss, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
Just then, the palace gates were suddenly knocked on, and Ji Ruyan's expression quickly returned to normal.
"Yan'er, it's time to go to the Central Region!"
A pale-faced, effeminate-looking young man stared intently at Ji Ruyan, who was wearing a veil, in front of him.
A flash of disgust crossed Ji Ruyan's eyes, but she quickly looked at the young man with tenderness.
"Han Lang, what is it like inside the Heavenly Abyss?"
Han Ying smiled gently, "Tianyuan is currently the largest secret realm in my Canglan Realm, and its coverage area is almost the same size as the entire Canglan Realm!"
"However, the Heavenly Abyss also contains many unknown dangers, but it's alright, I will protect you, Yan'er!"
"Yan'er believes in Han Lang!"
At that moment, several disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect stepped forward and said to Han Ying:
"Young Sect Master, Senior Sister Ruyan, it's time to set off for the Central Region!"
"Yes! This time, in the Heavenly Abyss, my Ghost Shadow Sect will definitely be ahead of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
******
Before we knew it, the time had come for the Canglan Wind and Cloud Gathering to officially begin.
At this moment, nearly two-thirds of the Golden Core to Nascent Soul cultivators within the Canglan Realm are gathered in Wuji City. Although Wuji City is extremely large, dozens of times the size of Tianxu City, it is still packed with people.
For the Canglan Wind and Cloud Gathering, the Wuji Sect specially spent a lot of resources to open up a large space within Wuji City. Within this space, the power of the five major Daoist sects, the five major demonic sects, and the demon race of the Demon Realm was gathered to jointly transfer the exit of Tianyuan to this place.
Those who wish to participate in this Canglan Gathering can directly enter the space. There are no restrictions on entering this vast space; the only condition is that one's cultivation level must be between the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul stage.
Su Yang did not come here with the Ji family; she did not want to have too much to do with them. So, she left the Ji family early in the morning and went directly to the venue for this year's Canglan Fengyun Gathering.
She arrived at the perfect time; the people from various sects had just gathered the exit of the Heavenly Abyss within the large space created by the Wuji Sect. Without a second thought, Su Yang immediately flew straight into the large space created by the Wuji Sect.
As soon as Su Yang entered the space and opened her eyes, she found herself inside a protective shield. Not daring to use power exceeding the Nascent Soul level, she immediately controlled her power to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, testing the protective shield that surrounded her.
Snapped!
However, when Su Yang poured his power into the protective shield, it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, causing no ripples whatsoever. Su Yang also tried to use his peak Nascent Soul stage divine sense, but it still had no effect.
Neither her divine sense nor her magical power could break through the protective shield. Then, she looked around and found that there were also many transparent protective shields around her.
Inside these protective shields, some were empty, while others contained a cultivator. These cultivators exchanged glances with a mixture of apprehension and suspicion.
They had clearly already tried and found that their magic and divine sense were unable to penetrate the protective barrier, so they simply rested quietly inside. As time passed, cultivators slowly began to appear inside the previously empty protective barriers.
Until the last cultivator inside the unprotected shield appeared. In the next instant, all the shields vanished. A moment later, a mechanical voice rang out in the air.
"The exit of the Heavenly Abyss will appear in one hour. All participants of the Wind and Cloud Gathering are requested to try to remain within the space within this one hour!" After this voice finished speaking, everyone was immediately confused and puzzled.
"What does this mean?! What does this mean? What does it mean that an hour will exist within this space?!"
However, everyone soon understood what it meant.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
"Fizz!"
"..."
Terrifying, hoarse, and chilling sounds echoed from within the sky. Everyone looked up and saw terrifying-looking insectoids appearing above.
"It's the Zerg! It's the Zerg!"
They watched as the number of Zerg above them gradually increased and began to shout.
"No way?! Weren't we supposed to enter the Heavenly Abyss? Why are there insectoids in this space?!"
"Could it be that the Wuji Sect did something?! Has someone in their sect been parasitized by the insectoids?"
Su Yang stared intently at the Zerg above, her brows furrowing slightly.
"My Silver Soul Mushi can't sense any insectoid presence at all..."
"They...are not Zerg..."
“No, strictly speaking, they are not true Zerg!” Su Yang murmured.
The insectoid race above is diverse, including Skybreakers, Flying Centipedes, Mantises, Giant Bats, Black Beetles, and more...
Suddenly, countless insectoids swarmed down from above and began attacking Su Yang and the other cultivators in the space.
Several flying centipedes set their sights on Su Yang. They bared their terrifying fangs and brandished their sharp antennae as they launched a fierce attack on Su Yang.
Su Yang narrowed her eyes slightly, and a spirit blade engulfed in blazing golden flames suddenly appeared in her hand.
Boom! A blade of energy, imbued with the fire of the sun god, instantly slashed towards the flying centipedes that were heading towards Su Yang.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
"Fizz!"
"..."
Suddenly, these flying centipedes turned into black mist and disappeared. Only then did Su Yang finally realize what had happened.
These insectoids are not real insectoids, but... they are insectoids created fictionally within space!
"Is this the first test to enter the Heavenly Abyss?"
Su Yang couldn't help but admire the people of the Wuji Sect at this moment.
Not only did they create such an intelligent space, but they also fabricated such a realistic Zerg race?!
Su Yang had just tested it, and these artificial Zerg were very similar to the real Zerg in terms of attack methods and other aspects!
"I never imagined that the Wuji Sect would have such a capable person!"
These insectoid creatures are at most at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Although Su Yang cannot use power beyond the Nascent Soul stage, she is still a cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Furthermore, her physical strength had reached the peak of the Mahayana stage, so she dealt with it with great ease.
The cultivators in this space are all at or above the Nascent Soul stage.
Su Yang guessed that this space was probably used to separate cultivators at the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation stages for testing.
Before anyone knew it, dozens of Sky-Splitting Butterflies with peak Nascent Soul strength had gathered around Su Yang.
"boom!"
Behind Su Yang, countless powerful spatial rifts suddenly appeared.
The powerful suction force kept trying to pull Su Yang's body into that terrifying spatial rift.
However, these tactics had no effect on Su Yang.
Su Yang's body was like an unyielding pine tree. No matter how much the surrounding Rift Butterflies increased their power, Su Yang was never sucked into those spatial rifts.
She glanced coldly at the Sky-Splitting Butterflies around her, a cruel smile playing on her lips.
Bang!
She made a hand seal, and the energies of life and death shifted back and forth between her hands.
"A withered tree can bloom again!"
The next moment, a deathly energy rapidly spread out from Su Yang's center.
It utterly destroyed the spatial rifts released by the Sky-Splitting Butterfly, and instantly swallowed up the dozens of Sky-Splitting Butterflies that were entangled with Su Yang.
A moment later, the area where Su Yang was located became a complete vacuum zone!
The other Zerg seemed to have witnessed Su Yang's prowess, and their eyes were filled with apprehension towards him.
Despite their large numbers, since then, very few Zerg have dared to attack Su Yang without fear of death.
Su Yang was happy to have some free time. Only half an hour had passed, and there was still a long time before an hour was up.
At this moment, Su Yang couldn't help but observe the cultivators fighting around him.
******
Outside the training space, the training spaces for Nascent Soul, Core Formation, and Golden Core cultivators were all projected onto three large light screens.
When everyone turned their attention to the light screen that displayed the Nascent Soul training space, they fell silent.
The powerful figures from the Five Great Daoist Sects, the Five Great Demonic Sects, and the four top demon clans of the Demon Realm (the Luan Bird Clan has been removed from the list) also saw the situation inside the light screen of the Nascent Soul training space.
At this moment, they witnessed Su Yang battling the Zerg and fell into a long silence.
"This...everyone, which sect does that Nascent Soul female disciple belong to? And...the power she displayed...is it really at the Nascent Soul level?"
