Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 77: Ambush

This is a world intertwined with colorful neon lights. Under the dark starry sky, large patches of dazzling light rain and light clouds would occasionally appear without warning, gracefully falling in the void, evolving into breathtakingly beautiful scenes.

However, once foreign cultivators see these things, their faces would change drastically, as if facing a great enemy. They would avoid them at all costs and have no mood to appreciate such beauty.

These light clouds are formed by the collision and agitation of different energy turbulences. Within their magnificent beauty lies a deadly killing intent. Their coverage often extends for hundreds of thousands of miles. Even cultivators at the peak of the Immortal Transformation Immortal Ascension realm, relying on powerful Law Treasures, dare not stay in them for too long.

Under the starry sky is a wide river that seems to have no end or beginning. The boundless river water flows calmly, reflecting the vast starry sky above.

On the surface of the river, there are scattered small mountains of various styles and sizes, some rugged and majestic, some exquisite and beautiful, some lifeless and gloomy, some covered in clouds and radiant... They float in the air along specific trajectories.

Lin Shengqing, the junior master of the Bright Moon Sword Sect, is currently standing on a mountain peak with a radius of only a hundred feet. He is surrounded by more than twenty female sword guards.

At his feet lie the corpses of more than a dozen beast-like creatures. Although they have been killed, the corpses still emit a suffocating aura, indicating how difficult they were to deal with.

"Junior Master, we have obtained the sacred medicine. Shall we change locations?" one of the female sword guards said.

"Yes, let's go," Lin Shengqing sighed. He couldn't help but feel a bit distressed. Just now, in order to obtain the seven sacred medicines growing on this small mountain peak, he and his team fought a fierce battle against these formidable creatures. Although they killed them all, they also paid the price of three dead warriors. After returning, their aptitude would inevitably be damaged. Even if they were treated at any cost, it would be difficult to fully recover.

In his field of vision, on the floating mountains of various distances, one could see the figures of many foreign cultivators. Some were fighting bloody battles with unknown beasts, some were meditating and healing, some were fighting each other for treasures. The radiance of various Law Weapons, Law Treasures, and Divine Abilities shimmered one after another.

From time to time, one could see cultivators covered in blood wailing as they fell from the floating mountains. There were also incomplete corpses. Whether they were living beings or inanimate objects, as long as they touched the seemingly calm water below, they would sink straight down without a trace, without exception.

Moreover, occasionally, a gloomy wind would blow up from the water surface. If the cultivators flying in the air were not careful, their defensive Divine Abilities would be blown away, leaving them exposed to the attacks of the beasts or other cultivators.

"...Fortunately, we have found quite a few resources after entering. Otherwise, it would have been a big loss!" Lin Shengqing muttered to himself. At present, it was only the appetizer. As more and more disciples from the Supreme Daoist Sect entered here, it was only a matter of time before large-scale conflicts broke out in order to compete for those precious opportunities.

Therefore, he had to make preparations in advance and transfer as many disciples from the Bright Moon Sword Sect as possible. Only when he had a sufficiently strong available force could he ensure that his gains would not be taken away by outsiders.

...

"...So this place is the Weak Water Galaxy? There are really a lot of good things here!" On a floating mountain peak about three hundred feet high, Qin Muling looked around at the dreamlike scenery, feeling quite curious for a while.

The celestial being Yueyi, by my side, collected the corpse of a giant horned serpent into a spatial bracelet. Gracefully, she walked towards me and said, "There are indeed many opportunities, and some of the most valuable ones can fundamentally change the fate of cultivators. However, they are not easy to obtain, and the risks involved are terrifying."

"Let me put it this way, every time the Weak Water Galaxy opens, ten thousand cultivators enter, and it would be considered quite good if one-tenth of them manage to survive and leave. The more likely scenario is that only one or two hundred cultivators survive, and examples of complete annihilation are not uncommon."

Qin Muling pondered for a moment and said, "So, even if many good things are taken out, for the foreign cultivators, they still suffer overall losses. Only a very small number of people benefit, right?"

"Indeed, the vast majority of cultivators are cannon fodder and sacrificial lambs. They give their all, but in reality, they can only pave the way for those lucky few," Elder Loli Yu Lingzhou sneered.

Qin Muling contemplated for a while, shook his head slightly. This is the true embodiment of the law of the jungle, the powerful figure behind the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. From the beginning, they adopted the method of nurturing gu. If one doesn't want to be treated as a sacrifice, they can only give their all and make it to the very end in order to escape unscathed.

"Young Junior Brother, which target should we choose next?"

Soon, the senior sisters who had explored the entire mountain peak gathered around and asked.

Qin Muling surveyed the surroundings. Within a hundred miles, there were more than twenty unclaimed floating peaks. Occasionally, colorful lights would bloom in the void, appearing particularly striking against the dark starry background.

When the lights dissipated, a floating peak would appear in the original location, drifting leisurely.

At every moment, countless floating peaks would appear, and an equal number of them would inexplicably disappear, without any discernible pattern.

Therefore, cultivators usually dare not stay on the same floating peak for long. After plundering the opportunities, they quickly evacuate. Occasionally, if they couldn't leave in time and disappeared along with those peaks, no one would ever see them again.

Not every floating peak hides opportunities. On the contrary, there may be ferocious and terrifying exotic beasts or powerful natural formations and restrictions. Even experts at the Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension realms would be helpless, only able to meet their doom.

Therefore, whether cultivators can ensure their own safety, gain enough benefits, and ultimately leave alive, mostly depends on luck and personal qualities.

Qin Muling observed carefully for a moment and pointed his finger, saying, "Is it that one? There should be a divine medicine on top."

Xue Bingxuan focused his gaze. It was a white floating snow peak, ten miles away, shrouded in spiritual mist. It had a diameter of more than three hundred zhang, and its surface shimmered with a faint radiance, as if something dangerous lurked within. The specific details were unclear.

"Alright, let's go there!"

All the women had no objections. Throughout the journey, Junior Brother's judgments had rarely been wrong. Each floating peak they chose to visit would not leave them empty-handed, but they would also not encounter too troublesome exotic beasts or formation restrictions.

Yu Lingzhou extended her jade arm and embraced Qin Muling's waist, soaring into the air. A burst of bright light erupted from her body, blocking the eerie wind blowing up from the water surface below.

In the blink of an eye, all eight people landed on the floating peak.

Countless sharp sword lights appeared, enveloping everyone's figures.
