Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

It was nighttime, and Yang Wei was seated cross-legged on a mat in his cultivation chamber.

"Alright… I haven't cultivated in days. I should start now and see how far I can progress with the Blood Emperor's Medicinal Scroll."

Resting his hands gently on his lap, he formed a two-handed incantation gesture.

It looks like with my current strength, I can only practice the Sutra of Eternal Vitality for now.

Yang Wei had finally gained access to the first chapter of the Sutra of Eternal Vitality… the Blood World Devouring Art.

This formidable technique, once mastered by the Blood Emperor, allowed him to absorb life force from his surroundings, living beings, and even the very essence of Heaven and Earth. The stolen vitality could then be used to heal himself and his allies, restore his cultivation base, accelerate the refinement of spiritual energy, or even extend his lifespan indefinitely.

It was the core technique he'd use to awaken the other arts within the Sutra of Eternal Vitality.

Yang Wei took deep breaths and exhaled small mists of blood Qi.

I will try it now!

Soon, a surge of red and golden energies swirled around him like a small hurricane, causing the cultivation room to tremble.

These were blood Qi and celestial Qi!

A mudra appeared in his mind, and he performed it. This singular hand seal multiplied the amount of blood Qi and celestial Qi he was drawing into his body.

...

Outside the Grand Elder Hall, Fragrant Cloud was already starting to panic.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" he shouted.

Around him, he saw powerful surges of blood Qi rising from the ground and traveling toward the Fate Defying Elder's grand abode.

Elder Fire Cauldron, who had a full stomach and a toothpick in his mouth, was equally astonished.

"Wow, the spiritual energy of the entire Grand Elder Peak is being refined into blood Qi, and at the same time, Grand Elder Yang's celestial gold core is absorbing all the celestial Qi of Heaven and Earth!"

It was clear that Yang Wei was on another level.

Celestial Qi was the foundational energy for Nascent Soul Daoist masters, and while Yang Wei was still at the Core Formation Realm, his celestial gold core placed him on par with Nascent Soul Daoist masters!

Having the peak state of a gold core meant he could access celestial Qi. For a cultivator with a great-sun gold core, this was a privilege they would only earn at the brink of the Nascent Soul Realm, and for one with a sun gold core, awakening celestial Qi was impossible.

A slowly spiraling storm of blood Qi and celestial Qi engulfed the entirety of Grand Elder Peak. This was the measure of the world trembling in the presence of a Blood Emperor's cultivation!

Peak Chiefs Mu Zhihao and Lin Feng noticed, as did other disciples miles away from Grand Elder Peak. All eyes turned toward the peak, where a boundless aura seemed to pull down the heavens above. What they were witnessing was the refinement of Celestial Qi and blood Qi into Celestial Blood Qi… a phenomenon not seen in countless centuries!

"Could inheriting a legacy from the Blood Emperor grant someone this much power?"

Mu Zhihao looked astonished, yet impressed. He clearly remembered when Yang Wei first joined the sect; it had merely been two years, and now he was already a cultivator with a celestial gold core.

Grandmaster Lin Feng watched with his usual stoic expression, but he too was amazed.

"It just goes to show how powerful and terrifying the Blood Emperor truly was. With just his legacy, Grand Elder Yang can absorb celestial Qi from the heavens as if it were water soaking into a sponge. Truly impressive."

The elderly man folded his arms and lowered his head.

Mu Zhihao grinned. "Doesn't it remind you of a certain woman?"

There was only one woman whose cultivation talent could compare to Yang Wei's… Fairy Su Meirong, who had made Lin Feng's life a living hell.

"Please… don't talk about that manipulative bitch," Lin Feng said, his stomach churning at the thought of her smiling face.

Mu Zhihao chuckled. "It's almost impossible for me not to mention her. My daughter talked about her a lot as a child. After all, Great Su Meirong is her role model."

"And a lecherous woman too…" Lin Feng added sickly.

"Hrmm, if only you could say this in her presence."

The grandmaster stroked his beards. "The heavens are often cruel…"

...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thunder rumbled as the blood vortex formed in the sky, swirled with the spiritual energy of the world.

Yang Wei's eyes snapped open, glowing blood-red, his hair lifting and gradually turning black once more.

Around him, a powerful field of celestial blood Qi surged.

The celestial blood Qi shook the earth beneath Grand Elder Peak as if struck by a giant's hand. All disciples within the peak felt a tremendous force pushing against them. From the vortex above, something enormous began to descend.

RUUUUUUMBLE~!!

Its presence was fierce, warping heaven and earth with its spiritual pressure, like a hand sweeping across the surface of a river. The skies distorted and clouds burned away.

"What is that thing?" Mu Zhihao exclaimed, bewildered.

Lin Feng paused his beard stroking and ventured, "Perhaps, it's a mountain?"

Indeed, it resembled one at first glance…

It descended…

500 meters, 3,000 meters, 6,000 meters, 8,000 meters… as far as 10,000 meters!

What they mistook for a mountain descending from the heavens was none other than the bone marrow of the ancient Blood Emperor!

Mu Zhihao's mouth fell open. "Th-, that's an Origin Dao treasure!"

The grandmaster shook his head in disbelief.

"Are you suggesting a mere Core Formation expert can awaken an Origin Dao treasure? That's an audacious claim."

However, Lin Feng reconsidered when he realized his mistake.

"No… that can't be possible…"

To awaken an Origin Dao treasure, a cultivator must attain Grandcelestial status, which required breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm and harnessing celestial Qi. While Yang Wei hadn't reached Nascent Soul, he possessed celestial Qi, thus capable of awakening an Origin Dao treasure!

Zuuuuuu~~!

The Blood Emperor's bone marrow…

It looked was an Origin Dao treasure.

One that looked like a colossal formation that now stretched across eleven thousand meters of rugged terrain, its surface adorned with jagged peaks and swirling mists covered with the essence of celestial blood Qi.

Its true name was Bone Marrow of Ten Thousand Fangs!

As the bone marrow descended, Yang Wei's ascent mirrored the motion, carried aloft by the potent swirl of celestial blood Qi aura.

The Origin Dao treasure completely fused with him and a burst of blood Qi aura spread across the entire four continents!

The entire Mashyan World was shaking!

Breakthrough, Mid Core Formation!

...

When the storm died out, all that remained was a massive hole in the heavens.

Yang Wei reappeared in his lotus position like a haze of red light. His black hair turned back to white, and his blood-red eyes flickered back to their graceful crystal blue color.

"Mid Core Formation!"

He screeched, sounding almost like a little girl.

He jumped up from his sitting stance and struck a ridiculous martial arts pose, pretending to fight imaginary cultivators.

"Pew! Psheeww! Pooof!"

He added sound effects with each dramatic hand wave.

Just then, as he was about to perform a roundhouse kick, he saw Huo Yue standing there with a big tray of food.

He immediately ceased his antics.

The room fell silent.

Neither of them spoke.

Yang Wei took the initiative. "H-how long… have you been there?"

Huo Yue's cheeks puffed up as she tried to hold back her laughter. "J-just a few minutes…"

"D-did you see anything?" he asked.

"No… not at──PFFFT!" Huo Yue burst out laughing.

Yang Wei frowned slightly. "Hrmm." He straightened his robes to look more presentable. "Yue'er, would you really laugh at your husband like that?" He shook his head in mock disappointment.

Huo Yue continued to laugh, careful not to drop the tray. "I'm sorry, it's just… it's──PFFFT HAAHA!" Her head fell back as she laughed harder.

Yang Wei stared at her with half-lidded eyes.

Her angelic laughter finally subsided.

She held out the tray of food for him, tilting her head and grinning joyfully.

"I hope you're not mad. I prepared dinner for you!"

She knew he would be hungry after such intense cultivation.

Yang Wei smiled and shook his head.

"As if I could ever be mad at my Shūjie."
