My Fairy Growth System

Baili Ya, originally a member of the royal family of the Cang Country in the Mortal Realm, was detected to possess a superior Thunder Spiritual Root and was admitted into the Wendao Sect. The royal family of Cang Country then directly conferred upon him the title of Cang King.

He cultivated the Thunder Vein Cultivation Technique "Cang Thunder World Subduing Scripture" of the Wendao Sect, achieving a Golden Core at the age of twenty-one, and forging his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the three-legged Cang Thunder Cauldron.

At the age of twenty-three, he entered the Yunhua Mountain Range alone, slaying ten Third Stage Heavenly Demons, thousands of Second Stage Major Demons, and several hundred thousand First Stage Minor Demons.

At twenty-four, he was stationed to oversee the coastal Immortal City under the jurisdiction of the Wendao Sect, Yueqing Immortal City, and slaughtered more than nine hundred small Sea Clan tribes. Nearby Sea Clan trembled at the mention of his name.

On the Pride of the Heavens List, a poem praised him:

Singly he rides into the demon forest, ten steps to kill, with lightning he commands the sea, destroying nine hundred clans.

Who dares contend throughout the world alone, Cang Cauldron, Cang King, Baili Ya.

However, now Baili Ya was surrounded by three late-stage Third Stage Canglong, relying on his severely damaged Lifebound Magical Treasure, the three-legged Cang Thunder Cauldron, to hang on desperately.

Those three Third Stage Canglong were also not in good shape, with numerous blackened wounds on their bodies; one had lost a claw, another had a bloody hole in its head, and one had its tail bent at a ninety-degree angle.

The black water arrows they fired struck the three-legged Cang Thunder Cauldron, causing it to shudder repeatedly, and as the black water arrows turned into black water upon hitting the cauldron, clinging to it and eroding its body, making a sizzling noise.

This was the innate spell of the Canglong, the Black Water Dragon Breath Arrow.

The so-called black water, also known as decay water, is a kind of precious Spiritual Water, second only to such kinds as Innate Ren Water and Innate Gui Water.

At this moment, the three Canglong had reached the ground, pulling up the three-legged Cang Thunder Cauldron and striking it with their claws.

With each strike, the body of the cauldron violently shook, emitting a "thud thud" sound.

"Baili Ya, come out obediently and meet your death, and I may grant you a swift end!"

Between attacks, one of the Canglong even said in a potbellied voice.

Inside the cauldron, Baili Ya was wrapped in a ball of lightning, focusing completely on healing his wounds and paying no heed.

He had fought alone against four late-stage Third Stage Canglong, fighting fiercely for a long time, killing one and severely injuring three, but he too was now at his last gasp.

But he wouldn't give up; he was going to try his best to grasp a sliver of survival, for he was the Cang King, Baili Ya.

Afar, Yu Qingtan and the other three women were also greatly shocked at this scene.

They had not expected the person ranked fifth on the Pride of the Heavens List, the Cang Thunder True Person Baili Ya, to end up in such a sorry state.

After observing the situation for a while, Yu Qingtan quickly made a decision.

"Qing Rou, Yiyi, Yan Xi, you three find a place about twenty miles away to hide and wait for me; I'm going to help Cang Thunder True Person," she said.

When she used Shi Kuang's "Love's Protection" to upgrade to the Golden Core Stage, her Divine Sense covered a range of three hundred zhang, or about two miles.

After reaching the Golden Core Stage, one can perform some delicate controls over their Divine Sense, such as dispersing it in one direction to increase its detection range tenfold. Thus, Yu Qingtan could use her Divine Sense to understand the situation within twenty miles.

In this way, even if anything unexpected happened to the three women, she could respond in time.

Regarding Yu Qingtan's decision, Shui Qingrou and the other two women had no objections; they no longer knew the limits of Yu Qingtan's strength. If Yu Qingtan told them she could fight against Fourth Stage opponents, the three women might choose to believe her.

The three women quickly flew away on their swords, while in the blink of an eye, Yu Qingtan's figure had already disappeared.

She first used the Breath-Concealing Technique and Invisibility Technique, and then she applied Shi Kuang's "Love's Protection" to raise her Spiritual Power and Divine Sense to the initial stage of Golden Core. She dived into the water and headed in the direction of the three Canglong.

The three Canglong did not pay any attention to the actions of Yu Qingtan and the other women, considering them merely as a few Second Stage Human ants.

The sudden disappearance of Yu Qingtan somewhat surprised them, but they soon put it out of their minds and continued hitting the three-legged Cang Thunder Cauldron.

A Second Stage, even if they let it attack without resistance, could not break through their defense.

The Canglong resembled a snake but had a pair of foreclaws and grew antler-like horns on its head, its body covered in dense scales.

Soon, they paid the price for their arrogance.

Yu Qingtan felt under the Canglong that had a claw severed and, using the "Bi Qing Ling Tong," stared at it intently. As it tried to strike once more with its remaining right claw at the San Zu Cang Lei Ding, Yu Qingtan made her decisive move.

Wielding the Canglan Sword, she burst forth from below, thrusting straight at the axilla of its severed claw, one of the weakest spots in its defense.

The technique she used was the first form of the "Heavenly Fragrance Sword Art," Silver Toad Spitting Water.

For a Canglong in the late Third Stage, even the spiritual power of the Golden Core Stage, casting Second Stage spells like the "Decay and Flourish Technique" and the "Blood Control Technique," would hardly cause it much harm. The most substantial "Water Blade Technique" might penetrate its defense, but using the Third Stage top-grade Canglan Sword was a better choice.

This Canglong had just made a move and was caught between the stages where the old force had not dissipated, and new force was hard to muster, and being too close. Even so, it managed to adjust its body in time, and the Canglan Sword failed to pierce its heart.

But under the cutting of sword energy, a huge penetrating wound opened in the chest and abdomen of the beast, and Yu Qingtan followed the Canglan Sword straight through.

The force of a Golden Core Stage wielding a Third Stage treasure was four to five times greater than that of a Foundation Establishment Stage relying on Spirit Stones.

Then, Yu Qingtan immediately took out the Qing Xuan Turtle Spirit Shield to protect herself, as the Black Water Dragon Breath arrows of the other two Canglong were already arriving.

Although the Qing Xuan Turtle Spirit Shield was only of a lower treasure grade, the main material used in its craft was likely the turtle shell of a late Third Stage turtle demonic beast, making it hard even for late Third Stage attacks to break through easily.

Not to mention that these Canglong were only at about twenty to thirty percent of their peak strength.

With the impact of the black water arrows, Yu Qingtan was sent flying far away and then vanished again.

"Roar~ You despicable human ant, I will devour you alive!"

The Canglong, once again grievously injured, let out a pain-filled roar, furiously uttering a threat to Yu Qingtan. Its huge eyes swept the surroundings determinedly, but it found nothing.

Its wound began to grow granulation tissue, slowly healing.

The other two Canglong also stopped attacking the San Zu Cang Lei Ding and vigilantly scanned the area, ready to launch their attacks at any moment.

In this water-rich environment, Yu Qingtan was confident that almost no one at the Third Stage could detect her concealed by the "Breath-Concealing Technique."

After a dozen breaths, Yu Qingtan didn't make a move; the enemy was very cautious, and she saw no opportunity to attack.

Both sides commenced a stalemate, the three Canglong growing increasingly restless, as their injuries were far more severe than they appeared on the surface. The attacks of the thunder arts from Baili Ya had gravely damaged both their flesh beneath their scales and their souls.

After another dozen breaths, a streak of Escape Light shot towards their location from the distance.

Before the person arrived, the clear sound of a qin resonated, and the three Canglong immediately felt a bout of dizziness.

Identifying the faint residual sounds, Yu Qingtan recognized the familiar sound-based spell, "Devil's Penetrating Sound."

A Third Stage spell.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Shi Kuang might only know the Second Stage "Devil's Penetrating Sound" because he had just advanced to the Golden Core Stage and, since Yu Qingtan lacked a treasure-grade qin, she had not used "Devil's Penetrating Sound" to attack.

The effect would be limited, and it might give away her position.

However, such an excellent opportunity was not to be missed.

Her figure appeared above the previously penetrated Canglong, plunging from the sky, the Canglan Sword in her hand aimed diagonally towards the previous wound.

The third form of the "Heavenly Fragrance Sword Art," Crane Piercing the Clouds.
