Chapter 335: Chapter 230: Cultivation World 20_3
Arriving at the Mortal World, the six of them split off to different Mortal Cities to test for Spirit Roots.
Si Lingle waited for them on the Spirit Ship.
Once the Spirit Root tests were complete, she would pilot the Spirit Ship to pick them up.
After waiting for seven days, the Spirit Root tests concluded.
Across two Mortal Countries, there were thirty-two children with Spirit Roots: two with Single Spirit Roots, five with Dual Spirit Roots, six with Three Spirit Roots, and nineteen with Mixed Spirit Roots.
Once these children with Spirit Roots were picked up, they returned to the sect.
It was the first time for these children to be on a Spirit Ship, and they were all amazed.
They chattered amongst themselves.
Just then, Si Lingle emerged, "Settle into your rooms first. Starting tomorrow, the six of you will take turns for half an hour each, telling these children about the Cultivation World."
She had just arrived in this Cultivation World and knew nothing at all.
Even she had something like the Heavenly Eye, but these children were ordinary mortals, just entering the Cultivation World, and likely knew nothing.
If someone explained things to them, once they passed the tests and entered the sect, they wouldn’t be completely ignorant.
"Yes, True Monarch," they replied, cupping their hands in a salute.
After Si Lingle arranged everything, she returned to her room.
Tan Jingzhi and the others settled the disciples.
On the way back, they explained some common knowledge about the Cultivation World to these children every day.

In the vast and boundless spiritual sky, a Spirit Ship was flying steadily, radiating a gentle glow, like a star twinkling in the night sky.
Suddenly, a dark shadow surged from the distant sky, pressing toward the Spirit Ship like a swiftly approaching storm.
Upon closer look, it was a group of flying demon beasts, with sharp claws and teeth glinting in the sunlight. Their wings flapped, generating a roaring wind.
Leading them was a gigantic eagle-shaped demon beast, its eyes burning like flames, filled with ferocity and greed.
The demon beasts let out piercing cries, like sharp horns piercing the tranquility of the spiritual sky.
Soon, they formed a fan shape, surging toward the Spirit Ship like a well-trained army, causing the Spirit Ship to sway under the powerful air currents.
"It’s a Golden Core Stage Red Flame Eagle!" Zhu Wen shouted nervously.
There are so many of them!
Si Lingle had already come out, her voice cold, "All new disciples, return to your rooms."
"The six of you guard the Spirit Ship separately," Si Lingle commanded. "If any Red Flame Eagles break through to attack the Spirit Ship, the six of you must intercept and destroy them."
"Yes, True Monarch."
After speaking, Si Lingle, wielding the Qingchu Sword, shot toward the demon beast horde like a bolt of lightning.
Si Lingle’s figure flashed and appeared before the eagle-shaped demon beast.
The eagle-shaped demon beast, angered by the audacity of her challenge, spread its enormous claws and lunged at Si Lingle.
Si Lingle remained calm, lightly tapping the void with her toes. Her body flickered like a ghost, dodging the attack. At the same time, her long sword traced a graceful arc, shooting toward the eagle-shaped demon beast’s throat like a meteor.
The eagle-shaped demon beast sensed the danger and twisted its body to evade, but Si Lingle’s sword was too fast, slashing through its feathers and drawing a trail of blood.
The eagle-shaped demon beast roared in fury, flapping its wings with force, sending a powerful gust toward Si Lingle.
Si Lingle channeled her Spiritual Power, placing her long sword horizontally in front of her, forming a shield that blocked the gust.
Taking advantage of the eagle-shaped demon beast’s attack pause, Si Lingle launched another offensive.
The Qingchu Sword in Si Lingle’s hand seemed alive, darting up and down deftly, like a silver lightning bolt.
Razor-sharp Sword Qi shot from her sword, aimed at the eagle-shaped demon beast.
The eagle-shaped demon beast tried to evade, but the Sword Qi followed relentlessly, striking its body, creating wounds from which blood spouted like a fountain.
The surrounding flying demon beasts gathered, attempting to support the eagle-shaped demon beast.
Si Lingle sneered, weaving through the demon beast horde with ease. Her sword moves, fluid like flowing clouds and water, felled demon beasts with every strike. Their blood splattered in the air, staining the spiritual sky red.
On the Spirit Ship, Zhu Wen and the others marveled: "True Monarch Yunhua is so powerful!"
Zhu Wen, being a Sword Cultivator, even took out his Memory Stone to record Si Lingle’s battle with the demon beasts.
Under Si Lingle’s fierce assault, the eagle-shaped demon beast faltered, emitting a despairing cry as it plummeted from the sky.
The other demon beasts, seeing their leader’s death, lost their will to fight and fled the battlefield.
Si Lingle sheathed her long sword and threw out talismans. The fleeing demon beasts were struck by Si Lingle’s Thunder Talismans.
Si Lingle performed a spell, and the demon beasts hit by the Thunder Talismans were killed by her spell.
After killing them, Si Lingle collected the demon beast corpses and returned to the Spirit Ship.
Back on the Spirit Ship, Zhu Wen and the six others looked at her with eyes full of admiration, but Si Lingle merely smiled slightly, as if what had just happened was a trivial episode.
The Spirit Ship smoothly resumed its flight toward the distant horizon, while the part of the spiritual sky stained by blood gradually returned to tranquility.
Si Lingle brought out the demon beasts and instructed the six to disassemble them.
As for the demon beast meat, Si Lingle had them grill it and distributed it among the new disciples.
Regarding the materials from the demon beasts, Si Lingle gifted them to Zhu Wen and the six others.
After returning to the sect, Si Lingle went to report the completion of the mission and claimed the mission reward.
After staying for a month, Si Lingle went out for some training.
Similarly, after submitting his mission, Tan Jingzhi also left the sect for training.
To improve himself, he needed to train outside, where he could acquire more Cultivation Resources to use on himself, instead of handing them over to his selfish mentor.
