After Severing Her Emotions, the Whole Sect Was Overwhelmed with Grief - Chapter 73:
Chapter 73: Let Her Feel the Pain of a Shattered Core Seed
At this moment, it wasn’t just Su Yu—Ruan Xinyou herself also looked utterly shocked.
This sect’s secret technique was notoriously hard to master. Even the Sect Master had only cultivated it to the eighth layer. But Bai Ying… she had already reached the ninth!
How was that even possible?
Ruan Xinyou, both furious and panicked, shouted at her system, “How can the female lead’s fortune be this overwhelming?! How is she able to cultivate everything so fast? Why?! This world is too unfair!”
The system replied, “What do you think we systems are here for? Aren’t we precisely here to overturn that unfairness? Once you defeat her and turn her into your puppet, her luck will be yours.”
Greed filled Ruan Xinyou’s eyes. If she could obtain Bai Ying’s fortune, everything she attempted would succeed effortlessly.
She had to take all of Bai Ying’s luck. She couldn’t kill her just yet, but she could crush her underfoot—make her hated and scorned by all. She would make her suffer a fate worse than death!
What she didn’t know was that Bai Ying’s mastery of the Illusory Blossom Killing Formation hadn’t come easily. To break through with this technique, Bai Ying had endured countless hardships—even flirting with death in her past life just to improve. Without immense effort, how could success come so easily?
Seeing that overwhelming force about to strike her, Ruan Xinyou’s face turned pale.
“System, help me!”
The system immediately activated an item to block the incoming attack. But then it warned her:
“Your luck value has dropped too much. You’re out of points. From now on, you’re on your own.”
Ruan Xinyou gritted her teeth and glared at Bai Ying.
Using that formation was useless against her now. She had no choice but to rely on her own cultivation.
She shouted, “Bai Ying, I’ll make you understand clearly—the Pseudo Core Realm is far beyond what you can imagine! I’ll show you the true gap between us!”
With that, Ruan Xinyou cast a binding technique meant to immobilize Bai Ying with sheer pressure from her superior realm. She released her full aura. Though it wasn’t as overwhelming as a Nascent Soul Realm expert’s, it was enough to make the faces of many cultivators around them turn grim.
Spiritual energy surged within her. She joined her hands in a seal and pointed straight at Bai Ying. A dense blast of spiritual power shot toward her like lightning.
No matter how skilled Bai Ying was, she was only at the late Foundation Establishment Realm—there was no way she could escape this binding technique!
Ruan Xinyou wanted to crush her completely—to dash the hopes of anyone who believed Bai Ying might win.
Faced with the ferocious attack, Bai Ying didn’t dodge at all. Some people at the scene couldn’t bear to watch and shut their eyes tightly.
No matter how powerful a technique was, it couldn’t surpass raw cultivation. Bai Ying was surely finished this time.
“You foolish thing, thinking you can beat a Pseudo Core Realm cultivator!” Ruan Xinyou roared and launched her full-strength attack.
BOOM!
The explosion was deafening, almost apocalyptic.
But when the force struck Bai Ying, it didn’t even harm her. She remained standing, completely unscathed—and even took a step forward.
“What? Wasn’t she bound by the technique? How is she still moving?!”
Everyone stared in disbelief.
A Pseudo Core Realm cultivator couldn’t kill someone in the late Foundation Establishment Realm?
Even Ruan Xinyou froze. She had clearly struck Bai Ying. Her binding technique had landed. So why hadn’t it worked?
“Why?!”
Bai Ying met Ruan Xinyou’s shocked gaze and slowly said, word by word,
“Who told you… I was still only in the early Foundation Establishment Realm?”
As she spoke, she released her aura bit by bit. It was incomparably powerful—stronger than Ruan Xinyou’s!
“Don’t tell me… Bai Ying has also reached the Pseudo Core Realm?”
Su Yu stood motionless, stunned. He knew how much it had cost the sect to push Ruan Xinyou into the Pseudo Core Realm. Saying they had used the full strength of the entire sect was no exaggeration.
But Bai Ying had only just joined Celestial Peak Sect. There was no way they’d nurtured her like they had Ruan Xinyou.
And yet, she had already broken through.
Such terrifying talent…
And this was the person the sect had abandoned?
Everyone present felt the weight of Bai Ying’s powerful aura—but instead of feeling crushed, they were thrilled.
“She’s been hiding her strength this whole time?! Bai Ying has reached the Pseudo Core Realm?! We’re saved!”
Only Ruan Xinyou’s face remained ashen.
“So what if you’re in the Pseudo Core Realm?” she spat. “I can still beat you!”
She took out a pill and swallowed it. It had been given to her by the Sect Master—one that would temporarily grant her the power of an early Golden Core Realm cultivator.
“Bai Ying, this time, you’ll lose!”
She attacked again, aiming each blow directly at Bai Ying’s dantian. She wanted to destroy Bai Ying’s core seed—force her cultivation back to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But to her horror, every attack was blocked by an invisible barrier. Nothing she did could get through.
Everyone’s jaws dropped.
Even someone with early Golden Core strength couldn’t break Bai Ying’s defenses?
Was Bai Ying already in the Golden Core Realm?
That couldn’t be! Just three days ago, she was still in early Foundation Establishment!
At that moment, everyone felt chills run down their spines. Even Ke Lin, who had been watching indifferently, now looked solemn.
Bai Ying no longer cared about Ruan Xinyou’s attacks. Like her opponent had done earlier, she calmly began to condense her own spiritual power and aimed it straight at Ruan Xinyou’s dantian.
Since Ruan Xinyou wanted to destroy her core seed…
Then she would let Ruan Xinyou feel the pain of having her own shattered.
Ruan Xinyou’s face went deathly pale. The moment she realized Bai Ying’s intent, she fled in a frenzy.
She had done so much—taken pills, climbed to Pseudo Core Realm. Why was she still inferior to Bai Ying?
But just as she started to move, she suddenly froze. Her entire body had been locked in place.
She couldn’t move. She couldn’t release spiritual energy. She couldn’t even control her own limbs.
Bai Ying had used the exact same technique on her!
As Bai Ying prepared to shatter Ruan Xinyou’s core seed, Ke Lin finally panicked. He could no longer stand by.
He raised his hand and struck at Bai Ying.
“Bastard! How dare you?!”
Bai Ying looked up at him, calm and fearless.
“What wouldn’t I dare?” she replied—and countered with a palm strike of her own!

Destroy his dantian and drag him out to show everyone how disgusting Radiant Sun Sect is…
And, that bish said she did SO much to reach that level?! She only swallowed pills, used treasures, and accepted the spiritual energy of everyone in her sect. Also, relying heavily on the system and BY’s fortune. I mean, she’s had it SO rough…🙄
