Chapter 33: The Baizhai Mountain Region

Qu Yi entered the Inch Realm Sphere.
At this time, Qing Yiyi was practicing her spells alone on a planet—specifically, a fusion spell.
A fusion spell is one that incorporates two laws, indicating that Qing Yiyi had now mastered two complete sets of laws and reached the Divine Weapon stage.
In just three years, with the help of the Divine Weapon deity, she had grasped the law of wood. Together with the law of water she had already understood, she now fully mastered both laws.
Holding the divine weapon Qing Shui Sword in her hand, she directed its blade, and a water blade shot forth. This water blade resembled a curved sword, green on top representing the law of wood and blue below representing the law of water.
When the water blade struck the ground, it instantly created an abyss a thousand meters deep.
“Haha, the power of the Divine Weapon stage is truly immense. If I add my Soul Art, I won’t fear even the top cultivators at this stage,” Qing Yiyi exclaimed happily, looking at the abyss she had created. Her full breasts trembled slightly as a result.
In the air, Qu Yi saw Qing Yiyi’s alluring figure and couldn’t help but turn his head away. Rubbing his forehead, he felt that facing such a bewitching woman sometimes came with considerable pressure.
Soon, Qu Yi landed.
“Qing Yiyi, congratulations on reaching the Divine Weapon stage. Well, three years have passed, and I’ve also crafted two thousand divine weapons. Now you can take me to Tianfeng Fort,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he landed, giving her an encouraging look.
Hehehe, Qing Yiyi laughed then, looking at Qu Yi with interest, a hint of cunning flashing in her bright eyes.
“Qu Yi, I want to fight you to see your true strength,” she said in a seductive voice, blinking her pretty eyes.
Hearing her words, Qu Yi sighed in relief and shook his head helplessly.
“You want to fight, huh? Go ahead,” he said with a smile.
Thinking Qu Yi had agreed, Qing Yiyi, fearing he might change his mind, immediately raised the Qing Shui Sword and sent a water blade flying toward him.
At that moment, a truly strange phenomenon occurred.
As the water blade flew, it gradually expanded in a very precise manner. By the time it reached Qu Yi, it had grown to ten meters in size before suddenly dispersing and disappearing.
Qu Yi didn’t move at all, effortlessly countering Qing Yiyi’s self-praised spell.

“How is this possible? How did you do it, Qu Yi?” Qing Yiyi exclaimed in surprise, staring at Qu Yi in disbelief, hoping he could answer her doubts. Over the years, Qu Yi had not restricted Qing Yiyi’s movements within the confined sphere, so naturally, she had no idea that Qu Yi was the ruler there. Of course, that water blade had dissipated dramatically at Qu Yi’s will. “Don’t ask me why. You’ll understand later. Let’s leave here now and go to your Tianfeng Fort to hand over the divine artifacts to Zhu Chen,” Qu Yi said with a smile. Without waiting for Qing Yiyi to ask further, Qu Yi sent a thought, and instantly the two left the confined sphere, appearing inside the stone fortress of ‘Sanding Gate’. Qing Yiyi suddenly found herself back in the stone fortress. Just as she was about to ask a question, Qu Yi grabbed her hand, and they suddenly appeared in the mountainous area—exactly where Qu Yi had met Zhu Chen before. “This… Do you have a spatial divine artifact?” Qing Yiyi realized what was going on. Qu Yi nodded and smiled, saying, “Enough. Stop asking about my secrets, and definitely don’t tell anyone. Now, summon the Golden Crown Eagle, and we’ll go to Tianfeng Fort together.” Qing Yiyi hesitated for a moment, stunned by Qu Yi’s series of actions and unable to process everything right away. After a while, she finally called down the Golden Crown Eagle from the sky. Then, Qu Yi and Qing Yiyi climbed onto its back and flew together toward the Baizhai Mountainous Area. ※※※ Tianfeng Fort was located in the west of the Baizhai Mountainous Area, while Baishou Village was in the north. At this moment, the Golden Crown Eagle carried Qing Yiyi and Qu Yi across the north side of the mountainous area before returning to Tianfeng Fort in the west. Zhu Chen had already received Qing Yiyi’s message and knew Qu Yi was coming. He immediately gathered the three fort leaders—Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, and Zhuo Rui—to wait outside Tianfeng Fort, filled with excitement. With the 2,000 divine artifacts brought by Qu Yi, Tianfeng Fort’s strength had more than doubled, making it easy to attack Langri Fort, which ranked fourth. Soon, Zhu Chen, Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, and Zhuo Rui saw the Golden Crown Eagle in the sky and immediately lit up with smiles. As the Golden Crown Eagle landed, Qu Yi and Qing Yiyi also stepped onto the ground. “Haha, Qu Yi! We’re finally meeting again,” Zhu Chen exclaimed loudly, very politely.

Qu Yi also wore a smiling face and said, “Great Chief, we meet again. Please introduce me to these three chiefs beside you as well.” Hearing Qu Yi’s words, Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, and Zhuo Rui’s smiles grew even wider. “Zhao Jing, the second chief.” “Zhen Lan, the third chief.” “Zhuo Rui, the fourth chief.” Zhu Chen quickly introduced them, and Qu Yi nodded in acknowledgment, pretending to recognize them. “Alright, Qu Yi, my fifth sister told me you’ve brought two thousand divine artifacts this time. Let’s go into Tianfeng Fort and take a look at them together.” Zhu Chen stared at Qu Yi with gleaming eyes, urging him eagerly. Qu Yi chuckled and stepped into Tianfeng Fort right away. Zhu Chen, Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, Zhuo Rui, and Qing Yiyi stood in a row, while Qu Yi faced them and took out a space ring. “Everyone, watch closely,” Qu Yi said with a smile. The five of them grew excited and stretched their necks without caring about propriety. With a clanging sound, two thousand divine artifacts fell neatly to the ground, forming three rows that covered a large area. “Ah…” “They’re truly divine artifacts—two thousand of them!” “Qu Yi, you can really create divine artifacts! This is amazing!” “With these artifacts, our Tianfeng Fort is bound to thrive.” The five chiefs scanned the artifacts on the ground, shouting excitedly, their enthusiasm evident. Qu Yi stood aside, waiting quietly. After examining all the artifacts, the five chiefs looked at Qu Yi happily, their eyes filled with gratitude. “Qu Yi, with these two thousand divine artifacts, our Tianfeng Fort’s strength will more than double. We’ve already investigated Langri Fort and decided to attack it soon,” Zhu Chen said joyfully. Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, and Zhuo Rui nodded in agreement. Qu Yi smiled, then glanced at Qing Yiyi and said calmly, “How about this? I and Qing Yiyi will take on the two chiefs at the Divine Weapon level of Langri Fort. You four can lead the members of Tianfeng Fort to surround their forces.” Hearing this, Zhu Chen, Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, and Zhuo Rui looked at Qing Yiyi in confusion. “Qu Yi, my fifth sister is only at the Divine Being level. Though her Soul Art is powerful, it can’t affect cultivators at the Divine Weapon level,” Zhu Chen said immediately, his face full of doubt.

At that moment, Qing Yiyi giggled, her eyes squinting with joy. Only when everyone’s attention was on her did she begin to show off her strength.
“Four brothers, I’ve already reached the Divine Weapon stage,” Qing Yiyi said with a radiant smile.
Immediately afterward, she waved her right hand, and a spherical spiritual entity appeared—one side green, the other blue—representing the perfect fusion of the Wood element law and the Water element law.
“Ah… two element laws.”
“Fifth sister, you really have reached the Divine Weapon stage!”
“Good heavens, it’s only been three years—how quickly you’ve advanced!”
“I never expected you to grasp the Wood element law so fast. Great! Now that you’re also at the Divine Weapon stage, our Tianfeng Fort’s strength has increased even more.”
The four fort leaders praised her excitedly.
Qing Yiyi puffed out her chest, winked at them, and smiled happily.
Qu Yi, Zhu Chen, Zhao Jing, Zhen Lan, and Zhuo Rui immediately turned their heads away, not daring to look directly at her.
※※※
In the Baizhai Mountains, the fourth-ranked Langri Fort was located in the north. At that time, Qu Yi and Qing Yiyi were overlooking the area from atop a Golden Crown Thunder Eagle, which was the base of Langri Fort.
“Qu Yi, the two leaders of Langri Fort—chief leader Yu Deming has mastered the Water and Earth element laws, with around five hundred thousand spiritual entities in his body. The second leader, Yu Chongxiu, has mastered the Gold and Earth element laws, with only about two hundred thousand spiritual entities, I guess,” Qing Yiyi explained to Qu Yi.
Actually, during Qu Yi’s time at Langri Fort, the Weapon God had already told him about the strength of the two leaders. That’s why Qu Yi suggested that he and Qing Yiyi attack them.
“Yu Deming, leave him to me. Yu Chongxiu, you go,” Qu Yi said calmly.
Since Qu Yi had obtained as many as five hundred thousand White-Scaled Thunder Fish cores, and after using ten thousand himself, he still had plenty left. After learning that Qing Yiyi had mastered the Water element law, he gave her ten thousand of those cores. Now, Qing Yiyi had three hundred thousand Water element spiritual entities in her body.
Therefore, Qu Yi believed that with Qing Yiyi’s numerical advantage in spiritual entities, combined with a surprise attack using Soul Art, Yu Chongxiu, the second leader of Langri Fort, would surely not be a match for her.
“Hehe, great! Let’s see how I’ll defeat that Yu Chongxiu in one move. Back then, that annoying guy was already coveting my beauty—how disgusting! This time, I’m going to teach him a proper lesson,” Qing Yiyi said happily.

Qu Yi smiled helplessly and immediately said, “Alright, let’s return to the Inch Realm Ball. We’ll prepare for a surprise attack.” Without further delay, Qu Yi took Qing Yiyi into the Inch Realm Ball.

Inside the base of Langri Fort, there was a building known as Langri Castle, which served as the residence of the two fort leaders, Yu Deming and Yu Chongxiu, as well as the meeting place for Langri Fort. At that moment, Yu Deming and Yu Chongxiu were sitting together, discussing matters.

“Second brother, Tianfeng Fort has been acting strangely lately. They’ve also sent people to spy on us at Langri Fort,” Yu Deming said coldly, his horse-like face and gloomy eyes conveying his concern.

“Elder brother, there’s no need to worry. Both of us are at the Divine Weapon stage. Although Tianfeng Fort has four fort leaders at that stage, it’s utterly impossible for them to attack and kill us. I guarantee that even if Tianfeng Fort has the intent, they lack the courage,” Yu Chongxiu replied confidently, his elegant appearance reflecting his self-assurance.

Just then—“Langri Fort shall perish!” Qu Yi and Qing Yiyi suddenly appeared before them, launching their attack immediately.

Qu Yi wore a divine artifact on his head—the Nine-Bead Dragon Crown—and held three more divine artifacts in his hands: Razorwood, Flowing Cloud Sound Chain, and Desert Scroll. He activated all four artifacts simultaneously, launching the most fierce attack at Yu Deming.

Indeed, Qu Yi possessed hundreds of spiritual entities corresponding to the elements of metal, wood, water, and earth. By activating these four artifacts, four spiritual spell attacks were unleashed—nine beams of golden light, a green thread as thick as an arm, a blue ice block formed from a water elemental, and a desert filled with swirling earth elements—all directed at Yu Deming.

Although Yu Deming was at the Divine Weapon stage, he had only mastered the laws of water and earth, with only five hundred thousand spiritual entities. When the four sudden attacks arrived, he tried to react, but they struck his body, instantly shattering it.

However, Qu Yi didn’t kill Yu Deming right away.

On the other side, Qing Yiyi also acted swiftly. Her Divine Weapon-level artifact, the Clear Water Sword, was perfectly suited to her. She swung it, creating a water blade the size of a person, which she aimed at Yu Chongxiu.

Just as Yu Chongxiu tried to counterattack, he realized his mind was slowing down, realizing he had been struck by Qing Yiyi’s soul technique. Unable to escape, he could only brace against the water blade. But with only two hundred thousand spiritual entities, how could he withstand Qing Yiyi’s determined strike?

In just an instant, Yu Deming, the chief of Langri Fort, and Yu Chongxiu, the second chief, were both severely injured and lay on the ground.
“Qing Yiyi, stop smiling! Hurry up and use the Soul Art to control them both,” Qu Yi called out happily.
With two warriors at the Divine Weapon stage still useful to him, Qu Yi couldn’t just kill them casually.
