The Transmigrator’s Cultivation

Arc 25: Tempest Field | Chapter 466: Surround People

The gourd spat out a cloud of blood sand, which quickly exploded, with each grain seemingly connected in a subtle way, pulling and floating together like a thin veil draping over the cultivators, completely enveloping them.

The group trusted Tu Jin greatly and did not guard against it, allowing the sand to settle down.

Xu Ziqing felt a very light substance wrap around him, as if adding a layer of protection, a flowing force surged through him, making him feel invulnerable to all evils.

This sensation was quite extraordinary.

Xun Liang asked, “Friend Tu, what kind of treas

Tu Jin smirked, “Blood Dance Veil.”

Yin Xiu then said, “Could it be made from blood worms that can ward off winds?”

Tu Jin nodded slightly, “You all can just go out.”

Seeing his confidence, the other cultivators no longer hesitated.

Since this Blood Dance Veil had already touched the five of them, as long as they kept within ten zhang of each other, they would not be hindered. It could be considered an extremely precious and useful treasure.

Tu Jin clearly acted so boldly in this desolate place because he had this treasure in hand; he had already made preparations and only needed to use it carefully. If nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn’t fall at a disadvantage.

Soon, the group stepped out of the windless zone and into the seemingly endless storm.

As they just exited, a fierce yellow wind rushed toward them, containing a powerful earthy force. If one was careless, their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose would be filled with this force, transforming them into clay figure.

This wind was called “Earth Element Wind,” and it was a terrifying type of wind.

However, despite its suddenness and ferocity, it did not display its full potential.

Xu Ziqing did not feel the ferocity of the wind; he saw that as the Earth Element Wind approached, countless grains of blood sand spun around, transforming into a mist that enveloped all the wind’s power.

It was like a stone sinking into a giant wave, causing no splash as it was swallowed by an unknown force.

The others protected by the Blood Dance Veil felt no discomfort at all…

It truly was a powerful treasure!

Yesterday, when the winds were not strong enough to pose a real threat, Tu Jin had not released this treasure. Today, however, it was just right for the situation.

Walking through the winds, the cultivators were even more cautious.

Xu Ziqing walked closely beside Yun Lie, their spirits intertwining as they carefully surveyed the surroundings, not daring to let their guard down.

If yesterday’s wind was like a flowing river, today’s wind was like a roaring sea, incomparable.

No wonder the entrance was only opened yesterday; the winds were indeed too fierce, easily blinding to the eyes.

With their prior precautions, the group found the journey manageable, quickening their pace to search for the traces of the chaotic wind flowers amidst the powerful winds.

After walking about three or four li, Yin Xiu found a couple of flowers, while the others surprisingly found nothing.

Xu Ziqing couldn’t help but be more vigilant, expanding his senses to discern the different types of winds around them, always on guard for any sudden attacks from vicious wind beasts… Suddenly, he noticed a particularly strange spot in a strong gust of wind, and he immediately understood—it was time to strike!

In the next moment, a black-gold sword light shot out like an arrow breaking through the void, swiftly piercing that spot—

With a crisp sound, a body fell to the ground: it was a wind beast over ten feet tall, with even more golden hair on its brow; it must be a fifth-level wind beast!

It turned out that Yun Lie had a more acute perception. Especially when he urged his sword spirit to enhance his awareness, everything became clearer to him. His cultivation in the ruthless sword path made him extremely sensitive to killing intent and malice, allowing him to notice something amiss even before Xu Ziqing, and he acted without hesitation.

Xu Ziqing stored the beast’s corpse and became even more cautious.

Meanwhile, Tu Jin, Xun Liang, and Yin Xiu had also killed the attacking wind beasts. Their lowest cultivation level was already in the Divine Transformation stage, so dealing with fifth-level wind beasts was relatively easy for them. However, as they ventured deeper, they encountered higher-level wind beasts, which increased their vigilance.

Soon, various levels of wind beasts hid among different types of winds and often attacked. Each of the sword cultivators had already slain dozens of wind beasts, and even Xu Ziqing, with the lowest cultivation, had killed at least twenty. His storage ring was gradually filling up with the fine flesh of wind beasts…

After walking around a hundred li, the group had gathered thirty-two chaotic wind flowers, but finding more seemed increasingly difficult.

On the route they had taken, all the chaotic wind flowers had already been collected. If they wanted to win this gamble, they could only go deeper into this desolate area without slacking off.

Just as they were walking, Xun Liang suddenly stopped, saying, “Wait.”

The others looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xun Liang spoke seriously, “Everyone, listen carefully.” He had exceptional hearing and had always kept his attention on the surroundings. Thus, he was quicker than the others to detect some commotion from a distance, prompting him to alert the group.

Sure enough, when the cultivators focused and listened, they heard some faint voices.

“Wolf heart… lungs…”

“If we catch them… we will definitely kill… show no mercy!”

“… betrayal… vile person…”

“… be careful!”

These voices undoubtedly indicated that someone was trapped by an unknown force, and without rescue, they would find it hard to escape.

But now that they had heard it, should they save them or not?

Tu Jin had a cold smile on his lips. “I despise betrayal the most; I’d like to take a look.”

Xun Liang, who was the first to notice, replied, “After all, these are people we encountered in this desolate region. They might have some knowledge of this place. If we could ask them, it might be somewhat useful.”

Yin Xiu nodded, and Yun Lie and Xu Ziqing exchanged glances, both agreeing.

Since everyone was of the same opinion, they didn’t linger and quickly turned to head toward the source of the voices.

Due to the strong winds, although the voices were faint, they were not very far away. After walking less than half a li, they saw hazy figures.

There, many fierce winds were swirling, howling as they surrounded several people, while numerous fourth and fifth-level wind beasts lurked within the winds, all looking extremely ferocious. There were even more wind beasts here than what the cultivators had encountered before.

A faint smell of blood wafted from the winds…

Clearly, the people there were already injured, and the spreading blood aura under the wind had attracted the surrounding fierce wind beasts.

This was the cause of such serious consequences.

From what they had just heard, the cultivators knew that if they did not offer assistance soon, the trapped individuals would not be able to hold on any longer!

Thus, all the sword cultivators focused their minds, urging their sword spirits to unleash their sword intent and instantly killed several wind beasts!

The massive corpses fell to the ground, and the people inside expressed their surprise, “Thank you for saving us!”

The cultivators didn’t hesitate and quickly swept in, their sword intent weaving through the air as they slaughtered the wind beasts. Meanwhile, Xu Ziqing’s demon vines danced around, swiftly striking down many wind beasts, forcing them to clear a path even if he couldn’t hit the wind crystals right away.

As he probed with his divine sense, he saw that the encircled individuals were around eleven or twelve shen cultivators, both male and female, all at the Gathering Origin stage, with not a single one at the Tribulation stage. By comparison, they were a group of cultivators who were merely at the Nascent Soul and early Divine Transformation stages, daring to venture into such a perilous place.

Moreover, shen cultivator weren’t like ordinary cultivators who had protective treasures; they often relied on divine power for protection. Once their power was depleted, wouldn’t they just be left to die?

Indeed, they were quite reckless.

Xu Ziqing noticed that the gods were shielded by a brilliant light overhead, which cast down golden rays to protect them from the surrounding vicious winds. However, at the same time, they could only defend against the wind beasts’ attacks with their own divine techniques or by striking with their fists, relying on their Yang Spirits for offense and defense. Overall, they were still left struggling, firmly suppressed.

It was truly a battle of attrition; once their divine power ran out, they would be torn apart and devoured by the wind beasts.

However, with the sword cultivators joining in, the pressure was instantly alleviated.

Fourth and fifth-level wind beasts were only comparable to Golden Core or Nascent Soul-level power. The difficult part lay in their ability to manipulate the wind. Nevertheless, the sword cultivators were already familiar with the subtle changes in the wind beasts after they transformed. As long as they paid attention and carefully discerned, it was no problem at all.

After a while, the wind crystals were continuously shattered, and the dull thuds of more corpses hitting the ground resounded one after another.

The shen cultivators were invigorated, directing their Yang Spirits to fight even harder.

Xu Ziqing simply moved to the side of those people, releasing hundreds of demon vines to weave a massive net, protecting them. He then cautiously scanned the surroundings, using his divine sense to capture the traces of wind beasts little by little, repeatedly honing the Wanlong Fist to hit the tiny gaps, shattering the incoming wind beasts and their crystals.

After enduring a prolonged struggle, his punches became faster, and eventually, he developed an instinctive reaction to the wind beasts’ transformation. As soon as a wind beast appeared, he could almost instantly identify it and strike!

Meanwhile, the shen cultivators watched as more and more wind beasts fell, their expressions changing rapidly.

They initially thought that the newcomers could merely open a gap for them to escape, which they considered a great kindness. They never expected that this rescue team was not just a group of cultivators but also incredibly powerful!

These wind beasts, which they found difficult to deal with, were being slaughtered with ease in the hands of the sword cultivators, as if they were chopping vegetables…

For a moment, they were genuinely astonished.

After about half an hour, the number of wind beasts dwindled, and the sword cultivators were caught up in the excitement of the battle, seemingly still wanting more.

Seeing this, Xu Ziqing retracted his fist energy and instead took out several bottles from his storage ring.

“Everyone, please apply the healing balm to your wounds first, lest we attract more wind beasts!”

Upon hearing this, the shen cultivators all paused.

The first to step forward were a pair of exceptionally graceful individuals, a young man and woman who bore some resemblance to each other, as if they were siblings.

The girl smiled gently and performed a small bow. “Thank you for saving us, brother.”

The young man took the bottle, opened it, and his expression brightened slightly. “This is indeed a high-quality healing balm; it’s exactly what we need. Thank you!”

The other gods, hearing this, felt grateful and delighted.

At the same time, their curiosity about the origin of these individuals grew even stronger.

The healing balm was a sacred medicine for wounds, effective almost instantly, and even shen cultivator usually found it hard to obtain. Yet this lower-realm cultivator had somehow acquired it?
