You Cultivate, I Farm

Within the ranks of the Sky Sword Sect, thanks to Lu Xuan's strategic planning and the suggestion of utilizing soundwave attacks, they managed to maintain their stance amidst the relentless assault of demonic beast puppets.

The situation for the Myriad Beasts Sect and Divine Peaks Sect, however, was not as favorable.

As time passed, casualties slowly began to emerge.

The Divine Peaks Sect, having the most cultivators stationed in the camp and relatively stronger abilities, managed to unexpectedly wrest control of the demonic beasts from the Myriad Beasts Sect, which had the capability to manipulate these creatures, barely achieving a balance in the battle.

Lu Xuan and the other Sky Sword Sect cultivators meticulously avoided sharing the strategy of soundwave attacks with the cultivators from the other two sects.

Although the opening of this new blessed land was a joint effort of the three sects, their cooperation was only superficial; the underlying relationship was more competitive.

Lu Xuan cleaved a demonic beast puppet in two and, upon scanning its hollow shell with his spiritual sense, found no trace of the Parasitic Yin Thread.

"Could it truly integrate completely with its host?" Lu Xuan mused, about to rush to another sect member's side when suddenly, the Demon Ghost Vine, reduced in size and hidden in his robe, persistently tapped his waist.

He became alert, and a faint ripple emanated from the Spirit Nurturing Tablet in his mind, significantly boosting his spiritual sense, which he extended deep into the ground.

This time, there were more beasts of higher ranks, many of which were of the fourth rank in their lifetimes.

Lu Xuan, startled, concentrated his spiritual power into a thread and transmitted a message to Feng Yu and others.

"Be cautious, another wave of demonic beasts is approaching!"

Shortly after his warning, hundreds of demonic beasts burst from fissures like lightning, their demonic winds sweeping through, causing the earth to quake and mountains to shake as they ferociously charged at the cultivators from the three sects.

"Hold on a little longer, masters from our sect will soon come to our aid!"

The highest-ranking cultivator among those left behind in the camp simultaneously reminded everyone.

In Lu Xuan's hands, the Wind and Thunder Sword whistled with a black wind, creating dark tornadoes with each slash. The black wind, filled with countless sharp sword energies and intermittent flashes of lightning, obliterated the nearby demonic beast puppets.

Suddenly, a beast covered in black spikes entered Lu Xuan's view.

The creature resembled a gigantic black ball, constantly expanding and contracting, with hundreds, if not thousands, of black spikes trembling on its surface, ready to launch like arrows from a bow.

With a loud bang, the beast exploded in mid-air. The sharp black spikes, propelled by immense force, rained down indiscriminately on both beasts and cultivators in the camp.

"A suicide attack with no blind spots!"

Lu Xuan cursed inwardly at the Parasitic Yin Thread controlling the black ball beast. His powerful spiritual sense tracked the trajectory of the black spikes, and he skillfully dodged them like avoiding a torrential downpour using the Floating Light Body Technique.

The other cultivators were not so fortunate.

Several from the Sky Sword Sect were significantly injured in the explosion.

After the black ball beast exploded, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, four or five of its kind burrowed out from the ground, flew into the air, and began rapidly spinning, their bodies expanding and contracting.

"Everyone, prepare for what fate brings!"

Lu Xuan transmitted a message, his essence blood burning as he activated the Great Void Dragon Transformation body refinement technique. Dark red scales layered his body, his pupils became vertical, and his gaze turned exceedingly indifferent.

After elevating his defense to its highest level in an instant, Lu Xuan did not hesitate. The soil beneath his feet turned fluid-like and engulfed him.

After becoming an inner sect disciple, he had chosen the Grand Five Elements Technique for better cultivation of spiritual plants, which included the Five Elements Escape Technique.

With demonic beasts everywhere and too many prying eyes, Lu Xuan simply burrowed into the ground.

A faint yellow spiritual light emanated from Lu Xuan's body, allowing him to navigate through the soil as effortlessly as a fish swims through water.

"Phew!"

Resurfacing, Lu Xuan took a deep breath of fresh spiritual air and spread his spiritual sense around.

"There are demonic beasts, but not many. Judging by their movements, they must all be parasitized by the Parasitic Yin Thread, losing their self-awareness."

"I wonder how many from the camp, including Feng Yu and cultivators from the other two sects, managed to escape."

Lu Xuan fiddled with a small jade sword talisman in his hand, pondering to himself.

The number of demonic beasts within the camp kept increasing, and some even willingly became

living bombs. The camp was no longer defensible; surviving was already fortunate.

The small sword talisman was a gift from a Core Formation elder, Gu Jiankong. Lu Xuan decided not to use it immediately, choosing instead to explore this unknown blessed land on his own.

With his capabilities, he could easily handle several Foundation Establishment mid to late-stage cultivators. Should a formidable enemy appear, it would not be too late to summon a Core Formation cultivator with the talisman.

As Lu Xuan thought this, a thin crack appeared in the sky, and the Void Nightmare Eye, under his control, patrolled the vicinity.

"Demonic beasts are approaching!"

His palm also displayed a grey-white pupil, revealing everything the Void Nightmare Eye saw.

In the pupil's vision, five or six demonic beast puppets approached Lu Xuan, including one of the black ball beasts previously seen in the camp.

"Shoot it down! Spear!"

With no other cultivators around, Lu Xuan no longer held back. He took out a fourth-grade White Bone Demon Puppet, which transformed into a grey-white bone spear. It stretched out and instantly reached the fastest of the avian puppets.

The avian puppet instinctively tried to dodge, but the bone spear anticipated its movements, making a sharp turn and piercing directly into the bird's head, traversing its entire body.

Despite this, the avian puppet continued its rapid assault towards Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, and the bone spear inside the bird suddenly sprouted countless bone spikes, shattering the entire demonic beast puppet into numerous small pieces that fell to the ground, forming a thick layer.

After effortlessly dealing with one avian puppet, several more demonic beasts circled from different directions.

Lu Xuan remained unfazed. The White Bone Demon Puppet transformed into various shapes in the air, attacking and defending, easily handling the combined attack of several demonic beast puppets.

The spherical beast covered in black spikes unknowingly flew close to Lu Xuan, its body expanding and contracting as if ready to explode at any moment.

"Stop dawdling; let me light the fire for you."

Thinking this, Lu Xuan released five crimson stone beads from his storage bag. The surging molten lava within burst forth, creating a red fiery sea spanning tens of meters.

Under such a fearsome fiery assault, the spherical beast turned directly into black ash.

"This is called fighting fire with fire."

Lu Xuan's lips curled upwards. Previously, when the Flame Fruit matured, he obtained several third-grade Flameburst Bead from the luminous orbs. What others considered treasures, he treated like toys.

Having mastered the method to condense Flame Fruit seeds, and with a decent chance of obtaining Flameburst Bead from luminous orbs, Lu Xuan used them without any reservations.

"Come out, little vine. Today, you'll try a mixed buffet of demonic beasts and spiritual plants. Eat your fill!"

A grey vine cleverly slithered out from Lu Xuan's sleeve.
