Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 3514: Martial Aunt (31)

"You…" Being trapped by a woman like this without any way to escape was nothing short of a humiliation.

Yi Youxuan was so enraged she nearly exploded. She drove her immortal estate forward, attempting to force her way through the barrier with raw power. The estate transformed into a streak of light, ramming back and forth within the confines of the sphere.

Ning Shu focused all her efforts on reinforcing the barrier over and over again.

They were locked in a stalemate, a contest of sheer endurance.

Ning Shu had no way to harm Yi Youxuan, but Yi Youxuan had no way to get out.

Yi Youxuan was beyond livid at being imprisoned. She had never experienced anything like this in her life. She could not stand it. Her pride was wounded, and the fact that she had become this woman's prisoner was intolerable.

"Even with your immortal estate to protect you, you are still stuck inside," Ning Shu said, intentionally provoking her.

Enraged, Yi Youxuan struck her own chest and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, her complexion turning haggard. She had already lost a significant amount of her heart's blood.

The immortal estate absorbed the blood and rampaged through the barrier even more violently, causing the entire formation to tremble and buckle.

Ning Shu gritted her teeth and desperately reinforced the barrier. She wanted to plant a psychological seed in Yi Youxuan’s mind—the belief that no matter how hard she struggled, she could never break through.

Inside the estate, Yi Youxuan’s expression was weary. She temporarily ceased her attempts to drive the artifact. She was injured from the grand elder's previous strike, her spiritual energy was depleted, and she had sacrificed too much of her essence blood.

Seeing the riotous movement stop, Ning Shu let out a long, heavy sigh. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, knowing it had been no easy feat to hold out this long.

Ning Shu took a couple of pills and began to cultivate, hoping to restore her strength. If Yi Youxuan tried any more tricks, she needed to have the power to suppress them.

Inside the estate, Yi Youxuan’s face was pale. She clutched her chest, so angry she was on the verge of qi deviation.

The previously unconscious Qi Cheng finally woke up. Finding himself in a place filled with celestial energy, he looked around with a dazed, confused expression. Where was he?

"Master, you are awake," Yi Youxuan said hurriedly. Seeing his disciple, Qi Cheng felt a wave of relief. He asked, "Where are we?"

"This is my immortal estate. Because you were injured, I brought you inside." Yi Youxuan gave him a pill and added, "We are currently trapped. The estate is surrounded by a barrier, and we cannot get out."

Qi Cheng had not expected to wake up to such a situation, nor had he realized his disciple possessed such an incredible fated opportunity.

"It is all the fault of that woman, Jiang Xueci. She has gone completely mad. She’s determined to stop me at any cost." Mentioning Ning Shu made Yi Youxuan feel like she was about to explode. Unable to control her temper, she snapped, "We are currently imprisoned by her barrier."

Qi Cheng frowned. "Does that not mean we are in her hands, to do with as she pleases?"

Yi Youxuan shook her head with a touch of pride. "How could that be possible? You underestimate the defensive power of the immortal estate. Besides, she would never dare to open the barrier herself. If she did, the estate would vanish in an instant.

"So she can lock me up, but she is powerless to do anything to me," Yi Youxuan said.

Qi Cheng nodded. "I see."

He surveyed their surroundings and felt the dense spiritual energy. "The spiritual energy here is incredibly abundant. Even if we cannot leave, we can focus on our cultivation. Once we are powerful enough, we will naturally be able to break out. Even if we remain stuck, we can continue to cultivate while we deal with Jiang Xueci."

"That is true! Why did I not think of that?" Yi Youxuan clapped her hands. She had been so focused on escaping that she hadn't considered that they could simply use the time inside to grow stronger.

She would break through the barrier right under Jiang Xueci’s nose. She could only imagine how hideous the woman's face would look then.

The immortal estate fell silent. Yi Youxuan was no longer in a hurry to flee. She had been so blinded by rage earlier that her mind was like mush, but now it was that woman's turn to feel frustrated.

She would cultivate to her heart's content using the spiritual energy within the immortal estate. She would practice with everything she had.

Once her strength was high enough, she would emerge and take her revenge. She could destroy the entirety of Zisha Island without even having to travel back there. It was actually quite convenient.

The more she thought about it, the better she felt. You cannot do anything to me, and I will only get stronger until I eventually break your barrier.

The people outside would have to serve as her guardians every single day, ensuring she remained safe from any external danger.

"Master, do not practice the techniques of Zisha Island anymore. I have Divine Dao manuals here," Yi Youxuan told Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng nodded. "I have already left the sect, so it is indeed inappropriate to continue using their techniques."

Yi Youxuan was generous and directly gave her master a powerful Divine Dao cultivation manual. Divine cultivation was far superior to standard immortal cultivation. It was of a much higher grade.

Qi Cheng was stunned by the elegance and complexity of the technique. He could not help but sigh in admiration and thank his disciple. "It feels as though I am taking advantage of you."

"We are master and disciple; there is no need for such talk. You left the sect for me, Master. This is just a manual," Yi Youxuan said dismissively.

"You are my disciple. It is only right that I protect you," Qi Cheng stated plainly. "However, these are precious items. Do not reveal them to others casually."

Waving around a Divine Dao manual would certainly attract unwanted attention.

Yi Youxuan replied, "I am not a fool, Master. I would never just hand these things over to anyone else."

With the abundant spiritual energy of the immortal estate, the two of them began their cultivation.

Once they were strong enough, they would break the barrier and roam freely between heaven and earth once more.

Ning Shu was also nursing her injuries. When she had a moment, she checked on the barrier, but everything remained calm. The immortal estate was no longer ramming against the walls. The silence was strangely eerie.

What was going on?

Had Yi Youxuan given up?

After a moment of thought, Ning Shu realized what she was up to. Since she couldn't do anything to Yi Youxuan, the girl had simply decided to cultivate inside.

The spiritual energy inside the immortal estate was far more abundant than the outside world, and the flow of time was likely different as well.

One day in the outside world was like a month inside the immortal estate.

If Ning Shu cultivated for a day while her rival had a month's worth of progress, there was simply no competition.

Ning Shu took some pills and focused on extinguishing the raging fires on Zisha Island.

Innate True Fire was exceptionally difficult to put out.

She drew water from the sea around the island, compressed it, and let it rain down on the flames.

The fire had already killed every plant on the island. Not a single trace of green remained.

Aside from the daily task of making it rain, Ning Shu had to reinforce the barrier, which remained perfectly still.

For Ning Shu, this level of quiet was not a good sign.

The miniature crystal estate sat silently within the barrier.

Yet she truly had no way to deal with it.

It was like a giant turtle shell. She couldn't let it go, yet she couldn't open it either. It was an incredibly irritating situation.
