Yun Jin was only at Nascent Soul Stage, yet when the golden light points entered her sea of consciousness, it was like a drop of water entering the ocean, not a single ripple at all.
Within Yun Jin's soul lay an incomparably terrifying power. Though that power couldn't be released yet, when the golden light points entered, they too were temporarily sealed.
When Yun Jin became capable of bearing that power, she could release them at any time.
It was as if that sealed, terrifying force had become an enormous container, temporarily holding the power of these fragments.
Whenever Yun Jin wished to use them, she could retrieve them.
Yun Jin even had a faint feeling that if she wanted to, she could empty the entire River of Enlightenment.
But for now, she could only absorb the fragments that had taken the initiative to draw near.
How regrettable.
Still, since it was her own river, harvesting a little less wool was also fine.
If Tianpo knew what she was thinking, it would likely cough up blood on the spot. Thus, proper distance should be maintained between people, and between a person and a sword as well.
Yun Jin pressed forward in one go and absorbed all seven golden light points.
Then she began absorbing the orange light clusters, there were a total of twenty gathered.
Not bad, not bad.
Absorb, absorb, absorb them all.
At first, Tianpo maintained a façade of calm. But seeing that Yun Jin could continue absorbing, it stood frozen in place, its entire sword stunned, and was already devoid of thought.
What thoughts could it possibly have?!
What qualifications did it have to have any thoughts?
As a sword, it wasn't human to begin with.
Yun Jin, however, she's human, yet she wasn't behaving like one.
Was this appropriate?
Watching Yun Jin absorb every last blue and white light cluster without exception, Tianpo became completely numb.
Heh heh, wasn't it just absorbing a few more fragments?
Wasn't it just about a hundred-plus light clusters in total?
Wasn't it just that even those at Mahayana Stage couldn't absorb this many?
What about it!
This was perfectly normal!
"That's it?" Yun Jin looked at the empty surroundings and licked her lips, still somewhat unsatisfied.
From Tianpo's throat came a hollow chuckling sound. Heh heh heh.
Yun Jin couldn't resist giving it a glance, "Senior, what's wrong? Thirsty?"
Tianpo replied with a very steady composure, "No, I was merely feeling emotional for a moment. Little Master doesn't need to pay attention to me."
Yun Jin eyed it suspiciously, why did Senior Tianpo suddenly act so strangely?
Forget it, that's not important. What's important was that this time's harvest was enormous. Once she absorbed everything, her strength should greatly increase.
With so many super-grade fragments, if multiple super-grade artistic conception of the same attribute were present, perhaps she could directly achieve an entire Great Dao in one breath.
If she could grasp a Great Dao while still at Nascent Soul Stage, she would truly be the first person since the dawn of heaven and earth.
As Yun Jin was thinking this, the next moment she was teleported to the shore.
Everyone arrived at the opposite bank of the River of Enlightenment almost simultaneously.
Most had a trace of joy in their eyes, it was clear they had all gained something.
However, the disciples of Qingxiao Pavilion, led by Duan Yiwei, had extremely ugly expressions!
Only after emerging did they realize that everyone else had obtained something, only Qingxiao Pavilion's disciples had returned completely empty-handed!
If this wasn't discrimination, what was?
Qingxiao Pavilion was one of the four holy lands, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
This matter required an explanation.
Duan Yiwei directly walked up to Yun Jin and demanded, "Yun Jin, everyone else gained something. Why did only Qingxiao Pavilion's disciples encounter violent storms and gain nothing? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Oh? Qingxiao Pavilion really gained nothing at all?
Expressions shifted among the crowd.
Throughout the entire process, none of them had encountered any mishaps, and their harvests were quite good.
Only Qingxiao Pavilion had returned empty-handed.
To call that a coincidence was indeed too difficult.
Was Yun Jin deliberately targeting Duan Yiwei because of prior conflicts?
That thought flashed through many minds.
"Hmph! Qingxiao Pavilion still dares speak! Master and the others chose to sacrifice themselves to protect this world and block the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan from entering! And what about Qingxiao Pavilion? In the final stage of the Heart-Questioning Heavenly Ladder, without exception, they all chose to collude with the demons! Such scum still wants benefits from Wushuang Sect, they can dream on!" Tianpo couldn't help complaining in Yun Jin's mind. "Little Master, don't be scared of him. Not even a single piece of thread from Wushuang Sect will be given to Qingxiao Pavilion!"
Yun Jin raised a brow, instantly understanding that Tianpo had acted behind the scenes.
But so what?
Wushuang Sect's belongings were theirs to give as they pleased.
The people from Qingxiao Pavilion didn't deserve them.
From top to bottom, something must have gone wrong within Qingxiao Pavilion causing their temperaments to all be distorted!
Giving them anything would be worse than feeding it to a dog.
Yun Jin instantly gave a faint smile towards Duan Yiwei, "In the River of Enlightenment, under very rare circumstances, anomalies can occur. If all of you encountered accidents, perhaps your luck was simply poor?"
Duan Yiwei exploded in fury, "Poor luck? All of us? Yun Jin, do you listen to yourself? Isn't that absurd?"
Yun Jin replied calmly, "It's quite normal. If Wushuang Sect were truly stingy, we could have chosen not to reveal the River of Enlightenment at all. Furthermore, the other senior brothers and sisters all gained benefits. That proves our sincerity."
The others couldn't help but nodded.
"As for your situation, I express deep regret. If all of you were collectively unlucky, perhaps Qingxiao Pavilion's Qi Luck has encountered a problem? Why not return and examine whether your sect's Immortal Artifact that suppresses Qi Luck has malfunctioned?" Yun Jin said.
"Nonsense! How could Qingxiao Pavilion's Immortal Artifact have problems? You are clearly deliberately targeting us!" Duan Yiwei roared.
Yun Jin remained indifferent, "Interpret it however you wish. If you're dissatisfied, shall I send you out now?"
The Qingxiao Pavilion disciples instantly glared at Yun Jin.
Duan Yiwei said coldly, "So you look down on Qingxiao Pavilion? Yun Jin, do you understand what you're saying?!"
A hidden trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Yun Jin didn't retreat in the slightest, she flatly said, "If you insist on understanding it that way, fine. So? What will you do?"
"You—" Duan Yiwei hadn't expected Yun Jin to respond so directly, magical artifacts appeared in the hands of several Qingxiao Pavilion disciples.
Yun Jin sneered, "This is Wushuang Sect's territory, are you certain you want to make a move here? I, for one, don't mind."
Duan Yiwei's gaze flickered, he raised a hand to stop the others and said coldly, "We will settle this after we leave."
Yun Jin had insulted Qingxiao Pavilion so brazenly. Once outside, he would make her understand the price of that arrogance!
