Chapter 1618: Chapter 1607: Original Female Lead of Immortal Cultivation Text

Jiang Ruixiao was being driven to distraction by the Tiger Eating Ants, glaring fiercely at Ye Qiu ahead.

The more she chased, the more panic filled her heart. Why couldn’t she, at the Late-stage Nascent Soul, catch up with Ye Qiu who was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage? Recalling Ye Qiu’s encounters in her past life, she couldn’t help but feel flustered. Why hadn’t she been able to suppress Ye Qiu, even with her advantage in this life? Was Ye Qiu’s luck truly that strong?

She was unwilling to accept this. She had worked so hard to obtain everything she had now, and she absolutely could not let Ye Qiu, who should have been dead long ago, ruin it.

"Do you think luring Tiger Eating Ants will make me give up the chase? Ye Qiu, you’re dreaming. Today, you must die," she said through gritted teeth.

"Then you can slowly tangle with these Tiger Eating Ants," Ye Qiu replied casually, releasing an attack that made the ants even more frenzied.

"You madman, if I can’t escape, neither can you."

"Is that so?" Ye Qiu smiled back at her, then instantly disappeared.

Jiang Ruixiao’s pupils contracted sharply, staring ahead in horror. How could Ye Qiu vanish right before her eyes? What kind of method was this?

Why, even after she had seized all of Ye Qiu’s opportunities, did Ye Qiu still have even more miraculous methods? Did the heavens truly favor this person so much? It’s unfair!

Jiang Ruixiao’s aura began to surge wildly. Because of her brief pause, the Tiger Eating Ants surrounded her.

"Go to hell!" She swung her sword furiously, but the Tiger Eating Ants were countless, dying in layers only to be replaced by more, growing ever denser.

Jiang Ruixiao was seeing red, her aura was off, and her state of mind was skewed. Though her combat power surpassed normal levels, the severe damage to her meridians meant she was on the brink of exhausting her Spiritual Energy. Her face turned pale, and the number of ants seemed not to diminish, but instead grow more excited.

She scanned the surroundings with her Spiritual Sense, finding no abnormalities beyond the ants. Clenching her teeth, she said, "Ye Qiu, I don’t care if you’re still here or not, I will not let you off."

Saying this, she frantically flung various talismans and Thunderstorm Stones, yet despite the mass casualties among the ants, she got no other response.

She patiently observed for a while, and seeing the Tiger Eating Ants increase once more, even hearing the approach of other High-level Spiritual Beasts, she bitterly used an Instant Transfer Talisman to leave.

In the space, Ye Qiu was restoring her Spiritual Energy, fully aware of the situation outside. Seeing Jiang Ruixiao leave safely, she wasn’t surprised; she hadn’t intended to do anything to Jiang Ruixiao by revealing herself this time.

Jiang Ruixiao had not wasted the resources she robbed from Ye Qiu’s original self over this millennium. She indeed had many methods and backups; though these Tiger Eating Ants were a nuisance, they were not difficult to shake off.

Ye Qiu’s exposure in front of her was merely to stir Jiang Ruixiao’s Heart Demon. Initially, she hadn’t planned on revealing herself so soon, but she discovered Jiang Ruixiao’s unstable state of mind within the Immortal Mansion.

The intentional revelation of her true form was to instill panic in Jiang Ruixiao, keeping her on edge and letting her Heart Demon grow more fiercely.

Three days later, the Tiger Eating Ants outside had almost finished devouring their dead companions, but a few remained. Ye Qiu hadn’t shown herself yet, unexpectedly, Jiang Ruixiao returned for a second check.

She inspected every inch of land, still suspicious of Ye Qiu’s sudden disappearance that day. Unable to clarify anything, she could only return for confirmation.

It seemed that being reborn did make her progress significantly, no wonder she was someone who could outshine the protagonist.

"What kind of method is this?" Jiang Ruixiao’s eyes were sharp. "Why is there no trace at all? Despite having taken her Golden Core, how could Ye Qiu possibly continue cultivating?"

The more divine Jiang Ruixiao thought Ye Qiu’s abilities were, the more frightened she became, as she had never heard of anyone cultivating without a Golden Core. Moreover, the cultivation technique Ye Qiu now employed appeared incredibly enigmatic; it was something she hadn’t seen or even heard of.

"Did she perhaps inherit another Ancient Immortal’s legacy?" Jiang Ruixiao murmured, then was overcome with jealousy. "No, I can’t just let her continue to develop like this; I must come up with a plan to strike first."

Watching Jiang Ruixiao search in vain for some time before leaving, Ye Qiu still refrained from emerging, knowing full well that Jiang Ruixiao would return once more, only truly assured after this.

"I suppose I was indeed overthinking it," she muttered, finally departing for real this time.

"Trying to deal with me? Now, what method might you use? I am all alone, with no attachments, living now solely for the purpose of avenging you, so just bring it on." Ye Qiu left the forest, heading towards the Green Sun Sect. Word had it that Jiang Ruixiao and Yan Junyang were about to hold their Taoist Union Ceremony; she planned to deliver a grand gift to the pair.

These days, the two acknowledged geniuses of the Cultivation World were Jiang Ruixiao and Yan Junyang. They entered the Foundation Establishment at twenty, achieved the Golden Core within a century, and reached the Late-stage Nascent Soul at just a little over a thousand years old, extremely likely to become the youngest Divinity Transformation cultivators in millennia.

Moreover, with the backing of the Green Sun Sect and Sword Sect, the strongest sects currently, their Taoist Union Ceremony was sure to be the biggest event in the Cultivation World in centuries, with nearly all major sects attending.

In recent times, the cities under the Green Sun Sect’s jurisdiction were particularly bustling, with countless supplies for the Taoist Union Ceremony being transported to the Green Sun Sect. Although there is no traditional concept of marriage in the Cultivation World, the ceremony is typically completed by swearing vows to the heavens. Most Daoist couples live with the male partner afterward.

However, Jiang Ruixiao and Yan Junyang’s Taoist Union Ceremony was taking place at the Green Sun Sect, which was said to be setting aside a mountain specifically for the couple. People were abuzz with how deeply Yan Junyang loved Jiang Ruixiao, moving to the Green Sun Sect out of devotion, with female cultivators expressing envy in their words.

Meanwhile, male cultivators felt Yan Junyang was rather fortunate; Jiang Ruixiao, known as the First Immortal, was not titled so lightly. Her sect was formidable, and her talent exceptional, so was she not a worthy match for Yan Junyang?

As male and female cultivators debated back and forth, neither yielding, observers could only sigh that the couple was indeed a match made in heaven.

However, at some point, a rumor began circulating among the female cultivators, voiced with conviction and detail. It suggested that Jiang Ruixiao was no longer a virgin and that her hot-and-cold relationship with Yan Junyang over this past millennium was due to an unclear involvement with someone from her sect.

Upon hearing this, female cultivators promptly expressed their indignation on behalf of Yan Junyang, simultaneously speculating on which individual was closely involved with Jiang Ruixiao. The most suspected person turned out to be her senior brother, Chen Nanjin.
