Chapter 6: Your Strength Is Too Weak—That Won’t Do

Ji Yin was born with the body of a demon infant and carried the Demon Cauldron within her, always regarded as a thing of ultimate evil.

Who would have imagined that these so-called righteous sects, usually at each other’s throats, would join forces to deal with her? It had to be Emperor Ji—only he could unite so many righteous factions against her!

“The road is wide—everyone walks their own path! I was born a great demon, and I cultivate nothing but demonic power! Damn it, every single one of them despises me and wants me dead, but it’s just jealousy! Who cares about this place of exile? As long as I live, they can wait to be crushed to dust!”

The Great Demon never lost her imposing aura, no matter the circumstances.

The Demon Cauldron: “Boss is dazzlingly cool and unbeatable! With me here, even if the spiritual energy is thin and filthy, I can still help the boss retrain in the demonic arts!”

A streak of purple light flashed, entering Ji Yin’s body and guarding her heart.

The last ray of sunlight sank below the horizon; night descended.

Ji Yin immediately sat cross-legged, channeling the spiritual energy she had just drawn into her body, guiding it into the Demon Cauldron. The spiritual energy, nourished by the blood of her heart, flowed through every meridian.

Her meridians, once nearly transparent and white, now glowed with a rich, jade-like hue under the spiritual energy’s nourishment.

Such pure meridians! It seemed this body wasn’t so worthless after all!

When every meridian in her body had turned to white jade, a burst of light erupted from Ji Yin’s form.

“Soul power awakened! Congratulations, Great Demon! You’re incredible!”

Ji Yin did not open her eyes; her lips curled into a subtle smile, tinged with a wicked, untamed charm.

She was now walking the ordinary path of cultivation and had to first awaken her soul power, for she was no longer the demon infant of her previous life. Once her soul power awakened, she could begin to cultivate demonic arts.

The spiritual energy inside her had been exhausted, and centered on the Demon Cauldron, seven points of light appeared in her body.

“Seven-Star Vein? Seven-Star Vein! How can you possess an ancient spiritual vein of the spiritual cultivators?”

“Tch!” Ji Yin scoffed lightly.

“Are you going to cultivate both spirit and demon in this life?” The Demon Cauldron was deeply skeptical.

“If it’s the Seven-Star Vein, there’s nothing I can do. Might as well see what kind of results this path brings.”

With the emergence of the Seven-Star Spiritual Vein, the spiritual domain also opened.

The spiritual domain was a space of divine consciousness; each cultivator’s spiritual domain was unique, shaped by their own nature.

Some could command water, some fire, some control the growth of plants, and others command beasts...

Ji Yin channeled her soul power into the spiritual domain.

Suddenly, a powerful burst of light exploded within her!

“Great Demon, you’ve broken through!”

Ji Yin was somewhat weakened as she slowly opened her eyes; fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead.

Her soul power had successfully broken through, formally stepping into the first stage of spiritual strength!

She looked at the seven flickering points of light in the Seven-Star Vein—still faint, like tiny sparks in the night.

Ordinarily, a spiritual cultivator had to reach the ninth stage and break through the grand completion before they could cultivate a spiritual vein. But Ji Yin’s body came with a spiritual vein from the ancient times. For now, it was useless; her spiritual strength was too weak to harness the vein’s true power.

Too weak—unacceptable!

In such a short time, awakening and breakthrough had happened in one fell swoop! In this world, she was already a being that defied the heavens.

Now, Ji Yin could mobilize the soul power within her body. Her senses were sharp; she could see in the night, and her body felt much lighter than before.

She also discovered that, though the Seven-Star Vein couldn’t yet be used, it could increase her spiritual strength, greatly aiding her cultivation of soul power. Suddenly, Ji Yin activated her soul power again, channeling it all toward her heart vein!

“Great Demon, what are you doing?”
