Chapter 34: Master, I’m in ecstasy!

Mu Chen Feng is one of the twenty cultivation peaks of the Xin Guang Sect.
Qu Yi, Shen Nan, and Liang Qu returned to Mu Chen Feng. Then Shen Nan left for a while before returning quickly.
“Master, this is an identity token belonging to a mid-stage Out-of-Body disciple of the Xin Guang Sect. You can use it to enter the space teleportation array,” Shen Nan said respectfully.
Indeed, after controlling Liang Qu, Qu Yi no longer wished to stay on Xin Guang Island. Instead, he wanted to go to other islands and take control of at least one person from each faction, so as to keep track of their movements.
Qu Yi took the identity token, smiled, and said, “The Eight Directions Sword will likely show signs of emerging soon. Let me know immediately when your Tai Yuan Sect sets off.”
Hearing this, Liang Qu replied right away, “Okay.”
Due to the dignity of a powerhouse at the Combined Stage, Liang Qu still couldn’t address him as “master,” and Qu Yi didn’t insist.
Soon after, Qu Yi flew away.
A month later, Qu Yi arrived in Guang Ming Town. Wherever his spiritual sense reached, he found more than a dozen Out-of-Body stage disciples of the Xin Guang Sect, all searching for the assassin who killed Wang Dong.
“Keep searching slowly. I’m leaving,” Qu Yi said indifferently, already flying toward the space teleportation array.
Taking out the identity token given by Shen Nan, he easily entered the array and headed to other islands.
……
On Qi Long Island, in a valley filled with the fragrance of flowers, a red-eyed white snake was swimming around.
This white snake was over a thousand meters long, as big as an adult, and extremely slender.
Suddenly, a man in green robes appeared in the air—it was Qu Yi. With a single step, he covered hundreds of miles and arrived at this valley. Naturally, Qu Yi noticed the white snake, whose presence filled the valley with cold energy.
“Fantasy Dance Butterfly, it’s up to you,” Qu Yi said, releasing the Fantasy Dance Butterfly from the Dimensional Sphere.
Holding the Eight Directions Sword, the Fantasy Dance Butterfly instantly teleported downward. At the moment the white snake tried to coil up and resist, a streak of light struck its vital point, severing it.
The white snake immediately lost consciousness, its once strong body collapsing limp.
Qu Yi descended right away and had his weapon spirit implant a soul shackle on the snake.
It turned out that this white snake came from Bai Shou Feng, one of the three demonic cultivation factions. After arriving on Qi Long Island, it had wandered alone in this valley, planning to reunite with other demons from Bai Shou Feng once the Eight Directions Sword emerged.

“Phantom Butterfly, are you happy after that move just now?” Qu Yi controlled the White Snake and asked with a smile.
“Master, I’m very happy,” Phantom Butterfly said cheerfully, raising her Eight Directions Sword.
……
On Silver Glow Island, at its highest peak—the Moon Picking Peak—the bright moon hung high in the sky, with gentle winds and light clouds, creating a beautiful evening scene. On the peak, a Silver-Faced Howling Dog sat atop it, its head turned toward the moon. On its head, a gleaming silver Yuan Ying spun continuously. The Silver-Faced Howling Dog was in the midst of cultivation.
In the air, a speck of dust drifted along the wind toward the Moon Picking Peak. Suddenly, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared, holding a jade long sword—it was Phantom Butterfly. The Silver-Faced Howling Dog quickly retracted its Yuan Ying, but it was too late. Phantom Butterfly had already swung her Eight Directions Sword, and a crescent of light pierced into the dog’s body, knocking it unconscious. Qu Yi then emerged from the Dimensional Sphere and went to the peak, asking the Weapon God to implant a soul shackle on the Silver-Faced Howling Dog.
This Silver-Faced Howling Dog came from Moon Clutching Cliff, one of the ten major cultivation factions, and also one of the three major demon cultivation forces. Due to its unique cultivation method, it couldn’t cultivate on ordinary peaks, so it came to Silver Glow Island from the Six Plateau Stars and immediately occupied the island’s highest peak.
“Phantom Butterfly, you’re quite happy, aren’t you?” Qu Yi asked as soon as he took control of the Silver-Faced Howling Dog.
“Master, I’m extremely happy,” Phantom Butterfly replied, using her Eight Directions Sword to knock out another demon beast in the early stage of fusion. She was full of confidence and pride.
……
On Ji Ge Island, somewhere along the eastern coast, a blond man held a golden long axe, chopping at a Blue Heart Shark, also in the early stage of fusion. The shark’s heart was actually blue, and it contained most of the shark’s vital energy. The blond man had already killed the Blue Heart Shark and was using his long axe to cut open its body to retrieve its blue heart.
Suddenly, a red boat appeared in the distant sky—it was the Cloud Turning Boat, with only Qu Yi aboard. The blond man grabbed the Blue Heart Shark’s heart and immediately looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with coldness. Some mid-stage Outward Journeyer dared to disturb him while he was feasting. It turned out that this blond man came from the Golden Central Sect, one of the three major demon cultivation forces, and he was also here to compete for the Eight Directions Sword.
As the Cloud Turning Boat approached the blond man, he raised his magical weapon, the long axe, and swung it into the air, sending a golden blade soaring upward.

Suddenly, Qu Yi disappeared, as did the Cloud-Turning Boat. That blade of light shot toward the sky. At the same time, the Illusion Dancing Butterfly appeared abruptly. The Eight Directions Sword, which it had already grasped in its hand, was swung down, and a crescent-shaped stream of light pierced straight into the golden-haired man’s body. The golden-haired man immediately lost consciousness. Qu Yi then landed on the ground, seized the Blue Heart Shark’s heart, and used the Artifact God to implant a soul shackle in the golden-haired man. Holding the heart, Qu Yi entered the Dimension Ball, gave it to Wu Yuan, and then came back out. “Illusion Dancing Butterfly, are you happy?” Qu Yi asked with a smile. “Master, I am extremely happy,” the Illusion Dancing Butterfly replied, gazing at the Eight Directions Sword with a radiant expression. …

On Jade Box Island, in the Green Bamboo Mountains, there were only green bamboos—no other trees in sight. A man in green robes was meditating in a valley filled with lush green bamboos, breathing in the fresh spiritual energy of the land and absorbing the wood-based energy permeating the bamboo forest. Suddenly, a beautiful butterfly, over a hundred meters in size, flew down from the sky. Its wings reflected the sunlight, casting dazzling colors everywhere. The man in green robes opened his eyes, puzzled—when had such a powerful demon butterfly appeared in these Green Bamboo Mountains? “Come down!” The man in green robes raised his right hand, and five strands of green spiritual energy shot upward like ropes, aiming to bind the Illusion Dancing Butterfly. Unexpectedly, the butterfly suddenly transformed into human form, holding an Eight Directions Sword in its hand. It swung it, and a crescent-shaped stream of light entered the man’s body. The man in green robes immediately fainted, and the five strands of spiritual energy dissipated on their own. Qu Yi emerged from the Dimension Ball and, with practiced ease, used the Artifact God to implant another soul shackle in the man. This man belonged to the Qingyun Sect, one of the four major cultivation factions. The Green Bamboo Cultivation Technique he practiced made these Green Bamboo Mountains ideal for him. Naturally, as soon as he arrived on Jade Box Island from the Six Plateau Stars, he came here to cultivate until the Eight Directions Sword appeared, after which he would leave. “Illusion Dancing Butterfly, are you satisfied?” Qu Yi asked with a smile. “Master, of course I am satisfied,” the Illusion Dancing Butterfly replied, stroking the Eight Directions Sword with a sweet smile. …

On Xianglan Island, there was a desert. A man with bare upper body was hunting the unique desert beast, the Sand-Eating Beast, in the desert. The Sand-Eating Beast resembled a giant pupa, covered in sand-like dirt, and was adept at moving through the desert. Finally, the man spotted a Sand-Eating Beast, which was swallowing sand, creating a violent sandstorm that spread for hundreds of miles.

“Sand Devourer, I want your Heart of Sand Swallowing!” The burly man leaped into the air and shouted coldly. Just as he took off, the Illusory Dancing Butterfly appeared, wielding the Eight-Directions Sword. A beam of light struck the unprepared man, whose attention was still on the Sand Devourer, right into his body. With a groan of frustration, the man fell back onto the desert. Qu Yi immediately emerged from the Dimensional Sphere and ordered the Artifact God to plant a soul shackle in the man’s soul. The man belonged to the Ying Tian Sect, one of the three major demon cultivation factions. He had come to this desert to hunt the Sand Devourer in order to give a gift to a disciple he favored. If he could obtain the Heart of Sand Swallowing, he would return to the Xiang Lang Sect and wait for news of the birth of the Eight-Directions Sword. “Illusory Dancing Butterfly, are you excited?” Qu Yi asked. “Master, I am indeed excited,” replied the butterfly, holding the Eight-Directions Sword and bouncing around joyfully. …… On Miao Yang Island, there were countless lakes. In one of these lakes, a blue dragon was swimming freely. Its body, thousands of meters long, would stir up huge waves with just the slightest movement. In the sky, Wu Yuan suddenly appeared and flew straight toward the lake, challenging the blue dragon. “What kind of monster is this? With such a messy appearance, just at the late stage of distraction, you dare to challenge me, the blue dragon?” The blue dragon roared in anger and prepared to fly up and kill Wu Yuan. It spat out a river-like stream of water aimed at Wu Yuan, who remained motionless, allowing the water to surround him. At that moment, the Illusory Dancing Butterfly appeared, swinging the Eight-Directions Sword. A beam of light struck the blue dragon, who hadn’t had time to retract his vital energy, knocking him unconscious. Qu Yi appeared again and had the Artifact God plant another soul shackle in the blue dragon’s soul. This blue dragon came from the Nine Palaces Island, one of the three major demon cultivation factions. It had just killed a cultivator from another planet and wanted to enjoy itself in the lake before returning to the Miao Yang Sect to wait for the birth of the Eight-Directions Sword. “Illusory Dancing Butterfly, are you proud?” Qu Yi asked, glancing at the blue dragon with a smile. “Master, of course I’m proud,” replied the butterfly, tossing the Eight-Directions Sword playfully. …… On Fire Chant Island, there were numerous volcanoes, as if all the volcanoes of the Bai Yin Star were concentrated here. A red-haired man was searching for minerals inside one of the volcanoes. Suddenly, a golden qilin descended from the sky and rushed toward the man. The nearby volcanoes, under the control of the golden qilin, seemed about to erupt. The red-haired man, filled with rage, immediately flew into the air and swung a long stick covered in flame patterns. The golden qilin also took out its mountain-breaking staff and swung it with great force, deflecting the flaming stick.

At that moment, the Illusion Dancing Butterfly appeared. The Eight Directions Sword was immediately swung, and streams of light pierced straight into the giant man’s body. The giant man lost consciousness and fell from the sky. Qu Yi immediately came out of the Dimensional Sphere, caught the giant man in mid-air, and then had the Artifact God plant a soul shackle on him. The red-haired giant man came from Green Flame Peak, one of the three major demon cultivation factions, and he was also here to compete for the Eight Directions Sword. “Illusion Dancing Butterfly, you must feel quite accomplished, right?” Qu Yi asked with a smile after dropping the red-haired giant man. “Master, yes,” replied the Illusion Dancing Butterfly proudly, pointing her sword at the Golden Qilin who was gazing at her affectionately. …… On Cloudy Island, there were three places where, at noon every day, the Pure Blue True Fire would descend from the sky, making it ideal for those practicing fire-based cultivation techniques. One of these places was called the Extinct Valley, where a burly man was sitting bare-chested. When noon arrived, the sky suddenly filled with red clouds that quickly condensed, forming a circular passage in the center of which the Pure Blue True Fire shot forth. The burly man immediately rushed to the area where the fire landed and frantically waved his hands, drawing in the drifting flames into his body. Just as he was absorbed in absorbing the fire, the Illusion Dancing Butterfly suddenly appeared beside him, and the Eight Directions Sword was swung. In a flash, the burly man fell to the ground weightlessly. Qu Yi also came out immediately and skillfully sent out his spiritual awareness, while the Artifact God quickly responded by planting a soul shackle in the burly man’s soul. This burly man came from Blue Sun Palace, one of the four major cultivation factions. “Illusion Dancing Butterfly, using the Eight Directions Sword, you’ve already knocked out eight strong warriors in the early stage of fusion, all from the eight major cultivation factions. What are your thoughts?” Qu Yi asked with a cheerful smile. “Master, I’m absolutely thrilled.”
