Chapter 685: I need to give my senior sister a backup gift. (First update! Please subscribe!)
After the Sect Master left, the newcomers continued to toast everyone else according to their seniority and cultivation.
After a round of toasts, Pei Ling still hadn't seen Old Ancestor Li, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
If it weren't for the Old Ancestor’s protection this time, he wouldn't have been able to properly assume the position of Saint, let alone marry Senior Sister Li now.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to toast the Old Ancestor.
So Pei Ling sent a voice transmission, asking, “Senior Sister, where is the Old Ancestor now?”
Li Lieyue replied via voice transmission, “I don’t know. Several Old Ancestors from other Sects came a few days ago. Perhaps some of them found the celebratory banquet too noisy and didn’t want to come, so the Old Ancestor might be accompanying them elsewhere.”
Pei Ling nodded at her words. It seemed he could only find an opportunity to thank the Old Ancestor in person after the Dao Companion Grand Ceremony concluded.
Just as he was pondering, Li Lieyue continued, “It’s almost done here. I’ve specially prepared a gift for you. Shall we go take a look together?”
Pei Ling looked around and saw that all the important guests had been greeted. At this moment, most of the people in the entire Mu Yi Hall were already drinking enthusiastically.
The Eight Sects members, however, quietly drank and ate, occasionally glancing at him with strange expressions, seemingly lost in thought.
But considering that he had ascended the Ten Thousand Races Blood Ladder and no one dared to challenge him, it was understandable that the Eight Sects members felt depressed.
Thinking of this, Pei Ling nodded and said, “Good.”
The two then, while no one was paying attention, formed hand seals to conceal their figures and quietly entered the inner hall of Mu Yi Hall.
The night was already deep. Bright pearls hung high in the inner hall, emitting a soft glow that illuminated the entire hall. It shone on Li Lieyue’s face, adding a touch of gentleness to her cold and beautiful features.
She extended a soft hand from her intricately designed crimson ceremonial gown, and with a thought, she conjured a brocade box from the Void Realm and handed it to Pei Ling.
Pei Ling took it and opened it, only to find Su Zhenhe’s head inside!
He was stunned for a moment, then a wave of exhilaration washed over him.
Su Zhenhe had attacked him multiple times and was also one of the culprits behind the destruction of Luquan City. This person had long been a target he vowed to kill.
However, the Pillow Stone Su Clan was a powerful force, so despite Pei Ling becoming a True Disciple a few days ago, he had never had the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, now that he had just officially become the Saint, Senior Sister Li had sent him the other party’s head.
This gift was excellent!
He flipped his wrist, closed the brocade box, and put it into his storage pouch. Then, he wrapped his arm around Li Lieyue, and without a word, he kissed her.
After a long time, the two reluctantly separated, their lips moist and glistening with ambiguity. Their gazes towards each other were somewhat muddled with emotion.
The sounds of clinking cups and the loud laughter of guests continuously drifted in from outside. Just as Pei Ling was considering whether to proceed to the next step, Li Lieyue suddenly pressed him against the wall.
However, Pei Ling’s cultivation had now reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and his true strength was no less than Li Lieyue’s. He immediately countered by grabbing her wrist, performing a very simple grappling move, and pinning Li Lieyue against the wall. At the same time, with his other hand, Li Lieyue, soft and boneless, leaned into Pei Ling’s embrace. Her smooth back pressed against the cold wall of Mu Yi Hall, while Pei Ling in front of her was as hot as fire.
“It’s almost time. Let’s go out together to see off the guests,” Li Lieyue finally said, reluctantly pushing Pei Ling away, speaking in a low voice, “Afterwards, we’ll return to the Chao Na Palace.”
Pei Ling nodded, “Good!”
The two formed hand seals to tidy themselves, put on their respective robes, and walked outside. Indeed, the high-ranking Cultivators of the Nine Sects had already left, and the remaining guests were also quite drunk.
Pei Ling had someone bring wine cups and toasted everyone three more times. After exchanging some pleasantries, the celebratory banquet dispersed.
The newly-wed Dao Companions stood at the entrance of Mu Yi Hall to see off guests. After a while, seeing that most people had left, Li Hange stepped forward and said, “Sister Hunt Moon, Holy Son Pei, you two go rest first. Leave the rest to us.”
Thus, Li Lieyue and Pei Ling departed from Mu Yi Hall.
However, halfway there, Pei Ling suddenly said, “Senior Sister, I also have a gift for you. I need to go to the Cui Lei Mountain Cave Residence to get it. You go to the Palace and wait for me first.”
Li Lieyue was startled, then nodded, “Good!”
The two then separated. Li Lieyue headed to the Chao Na Palace, while Pei Ling hurried towards Cui Lei Mountain.
In reality, he hadn't expected Senior Sister Li to give him a gift at the Dao Companion Grand Ceremony, especially Su Zhenhe’s head.
But it was impolite not to reciprocate, especially since his impulsive purchase from “Joy Pavilion” last time had caused a great misunderstanding between them.
This time, he had to give a normal gift that Senior Sister Li would like, and at the same time, resolve any previous estrangement between them.
So Pei Ling decided to return to his Immortal Cave to carefully tally his personal assets and skills, ensuring he prepared a surprise for Senior Sister Li that was equivalent to Su Zhenhe’s head.
As he flew, he constantly pondered Senior Sister Li's preferences.
Soon, Cui Lei Mountain was in sight. Pei Ling activated his nameplate, maintaining his Escape, and swept straight in.
After entering, he didn't stop, quickly walked through the front courtyard, and went straight into the Main Hall. He was about to pass through the Main Hall and head directly to the forging room to personally craft a set of ornate and intricate hairpins and Magic Treasures for Senior Sister Li. However, just as he entered the Main Hall, he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.
He saw Yu Xuezhao, dressed in pink, unconscious on the steps. On the main seat, where he usually sat, a graceful figure, alluring and beautiful with cloud-like hair and flower-like features, sat high, looking down with murderous eyes.
Si Hong Qingyan!
The Sect Master’s wife?!
Pei Ling was stunned. How did the Sect Master’s wife suddenly come to his Immortal Cave?
And she had knocked out Yu Xuezhao?
However, as soon as he thought of the Old Ancestor protecting him in secret, he quickly calmed down. He immediately acted as if nothing had happened, saluting calmly, “Disciple Pei Ling greets the Sect Master’s wife. May I ask what instructions Madam has?”
At this moment, Si Hong Qingyan was looking at Pei Ling with a cold expression. After she left the celebratory banquet, she immediately came to Pei Ling’s Immortal Cave. The Restriction of this Immortal Cave could not stop her at all.
During her entry, she encountered his demonic pet. She had initially intended to kill it directly, but doing so would immediately trigger the blood pact between Pei Ling and Yu Xuezhao, making him wary and preventing him from returning to the Immortal Cave alone. Therefore, she merely knocked the fox demon unconscious for the time being.
Chapter 686: Treason! (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Currently, Si Hong Qingyan decided to torture and kill Pei Ling using the most brutal methods. She wanted him to struggle in fear, then give him hope, only to let him die in despair...
The Saint Sect has profound foundations, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, and countless types of punishments. There are methods that make people wish for death but cannot die. All of these will be used on Pei Ling.
She wanted the entire world to know the consequences of offending her!
Even if Pei Ling was a Prodigy cultivated by the Nine A Li Clan, he would be no exception!
First, she would use Soul-Suppressing Nails to pin down Pei Ling's limbs; then, she would use a strainer to slowly comb away his flesh and blood; next, it would be branding, nail boards, oil pots...
While tormenting Pei Ling's Physical Body, his soul would not be spared!
Although the Si Hong Clan was not as skilled in Soul Dao as the Li Clan, with Si Hong Qingyan's status, it was not difficult to access Soul Dao punishments. She wanted Pei Ling to regret provoking her for all eternity!
As she thought, her anger flared. Pei Ling, upon seeing her, not only showed no fear but also spoke and acted with extreme indifference, as if everything that had happened before was just a trivial matter, long forgotten by him...
The more Si Hong Qingyan thought about it, the angrier she became, and her gaze towards Pei Ling grew even colder and more piercing.
Her luxurious robes, hair like clouds, and numerous hairpins hanging down accentuated her graceful and beautiful demeanor. However, at this moment, her face was covered in frost, and her killing intent was towering, like a red plum wrapped in ice and snow, beautiful yet cold, with a sharp edge hidden within her charm.
Seeing that Si Hong Qingyan had not responded for a long time, Pei Ling suddenly felt strange. Her gaze at him at first was filled with chilling killing intent, as if she would strike at any moment.
However, not long after, this lady reached out and grabbed him.
Bone fires flickered, casting layers of overlapping shadows on the walls from the pale light. Yu Xuezhao, who seemed to be in a coma, suddenly twitched her ear. Then, a flush of crimson instantly appeared, quickly spreading to her cheeks. However, Yu Xuezhao's human form still maintained the comatose posture, unmoving...
【10 Ts omitted here.】
It was already light, and the commotion inside the Immortal Cave gradually subsided.
Feeling his cultivation further improve, Pei Ling nodded with satisfaction.
The 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】 was indeed powerful!
This time, he didn't use the System's Hosting, but operated it himself, and the efficiency was not much worse than other Cultivation Techniques under the System's Hosting.
As he was thinking, Pei Ling's expression suddenly changed. Senior Sister Li was still waiting for him at Chao Na Palace; he had to hurry over!
The gift he had planned earlier would definitely be too late to prepare. He would go see Senior Sister Li first!
Thus, Pei Ling quickly got up and walked directly out.
Passing by Yu Xuezhao, Pei Ling worried that Si Hong Qingyan would continue to attack his demon pet later, so he immediately took her with him...
In the empty Immortal Cave, Si Hong Qingyan suddenly realized a crucial problem...
No!
Now that it was over, she had to kill Pei Ling!
Si Hong Qingyan suddenly came to her senses. She immediately stood up, only to see that Pei Ling's figure was already gone from the Immortal Cave...
With tightly furrowed brows, Si Hong Qingyan's face was ashen. After a moment, she let out a cold laugh, and a chilling voice filled with killing intent muttered to herself, "Next time... next time, this Palace will definitely extract your soul and refine your spirit, tormenting you until you wish you were dead!"
After speaking, she flicked her long sleeve, and her graceful figure transformed into a wisp of green smoke, instantly disappearing.
Great Harmony Version.

Chapter 687 Now I roar to the sky, cut off all the shackles and feel free.
Pei Ling had barely walked a few steps out of the Immortal Cave when Yu Xuezhao immediately "woke up": "Dog... Dog Owner, put me down, I can walk by myself."
He had no time to bother with this fox demon at the moment. Upon hearing her, he let go and directly cast a 遁術 (escape technique), flying towards Chao Na Palace.
Yu Xuezhao maintained her human form, still wearing that pink cross-collared narrow-sleeved ruqun, tied with a pomegranate-red silk sash. The light reflected from the golden hairpin on her 靈蛇髻 (spirit snake bun) flickered, and the earrings hanging by her ears highlighted a blush on her cheeks. At this moment, she had completely lost her usual vivacity, instead following behind Pei Ling with a slight blush on her face.
Just as they reached halfway, a figure appeared from the side and suddenly blocked Pei Ling's path.
The newcomer had white hair and beard, and a familiar face. It was precisely Li Lieyue's Seventeenth Uncle, Li Wuding.
Pei Ling was slightly startled at the sight, quickly stopped, and bowed, saying, "May I ask, Senior... May I ask Seventeenth Uncle what your instructions are?"
Li Wuding stroked his long beard with a chuckle and said, "Congratulations, Holy Son Pei."
"The Saint's Cultivation is profound, and his strength is formidable. This battle has made him famous, and now everyone under heaven knows that our Saint Sect has gained a new, promising talent, and our Li Clan has a Wisdom Eye."
"Of course, Aptitude and talent are like jade in a stone; without carving, they will never become a finished product."
"This is also due to your own diligent Cultivation and ambition to improve."
He was clearly in a good mood, praising Pei Ling effusively before remembering the main business, "Old Ancestor has something for me to give you after the Dao Companion ceremony ends."
"But I was worried about disturbing you and Hunt Moon, so I waited until now."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling's expression immediately became unnatural.
He wasn't with Senior Sister Li just now, but with the Sect Master's wife...
However, this awkwardness only lasted for a brief moment, and Pei Ling quickly composed himself.
After all, this was not a big deal in Chongming Sect.
What was more important now was definitely the gift the Old Ancestor was giving him.
"Thank you, Seventeenth Uncle," Pei Ling said. "May I ask what the Old Ancestor's gift is?"
He was quite expectant, as the congratulatory gifts from the Sect Master and Sect Master's wife just now had already been very generous.
And Old Ancestor Li was not only Senior to the Sect Master and his wife in terms of generation, but also had a closer relationship with him and Li Lieyue.
This gift, in all likelihood, would be a treasure far beyond his imagination.
As he anticipated, Li Wuding took out a Jade Slip and handed it over, saying, "This Jade Slip has been Sealed by Old Ancestor using a special method; only you can view it."
Hmm?
Jade Slip?
Pei Ling guessed that the System had no intention of recording it, so it probably wasn't a Cultivation Technique or skill. However, as Old Ancestor Li, he surely wouldn't be stingy.
Thinking of this, he thanked him, took the Jade Slip, and immediately looked at it.
He then quickly discovered that the Jade Slip only recorded two things: first, Old Ancestor Li had entered seclusion and had also taken Pei Ling's soul lamp from the Soul Hall, using a secret art to conceal his heavenly secrets and fate.
Second, now that the Saint position was secured, he should quickly escape.
Do not return to the Sect before Su Lijing steps down as Sect Master.
After reading it, Pei Ling was immediately stunned.
Then, a spine-chilling coldness rose from his back.
Old Ancestor Li had casually told him that this was not a big deal, that the Li Clan could completely handle it for him, and that he should just focus on competing for the Saint position... But now, he had indeed become the Saint and formed a Dao Companion bond with Senior Sister Li, yet the Old Ancestor had immediately gone into seclusion??
Was the matter he had caused this time so serious that even the Nine A Li Clan couldn't handle it?
But what about before?
The Sect Master had held both the Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony and the Dao Companion ceremony for him...
Both the Sect Master and the Sect Master's wife had given him generous congratulatory gifts...
And just now, the Sect Master's wife in Cui Lei Mountain Cave Residence with him...
At this moment, seeing Pei Ling's disturbed expression, Li Wuding asked with concern, "Holy Son Pei, what's wrong?"
Pei Ling suddenly snapped back to reality. Now was not the time to figure out the exact situation; he had to quickly follow the Old Ancestor's instructions to save his life!
So, Pei Ling quickly replied, "Nothing, it's just that Old Ancestor has assigned a very important task, and I must depart immediately."
Task?
Li Wuding was slightly surprised. He had thought the Old Ancestor had given Pei Ling some wondrous Cultivation Technique or secret art.
However, considering that the Old Ancestor had intentionally Sealed the Jade Slip, it was clear that this task could only be known by Pei Ling. Therefore, he did not inquire further, only saying, "If you need anything, feel free to ask."
Pei Ling nodded: "Alright, thank you, Seventeenth Uncle. Seventeenth Uncle has also worked hard these past few days; please rest well."
Li Wuding nodded slightly: "We are all family now, no need to be polite."
With that, he cast a 遁術 (escape technique) and left.
Watching Li Wuding's figure disappear, Pei Ling immediately took Yu Xuezhao and turned to flee towards the Sect's teleportation Formation.
At the same time, he took out a sound transmission talisman, activated it, and immediately said, "Senior Sister Li, Old Ancestor has given me a very important task, and I must leave the Sect for a period of time."
There was silence in the sound transmission talisman. After a moment, Li Lieyue's voice sounded: "Be careful in everything."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling's expression dimmed slightly, and he felt a bit uneasy. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I will be back very soon."
The brief sound transmission quickly ended, and the man and the fox had already arrived at the teleportation Formation.
Standing before the intricately patterned teleportation Formation, Pei Ling looked down at Yu Xuezhao beside him, who was still completely bewildered.
This matter had nothing to do with Yu Xuezhao.
But he couldn't leave Yu Xuezhao alone in the Sect, because there was a blood pact connecting them. Chongming Sect had countless methods to locate the true whereabouts of her Dog Owner through the blood pact on Yu Xuezhao.
And Pei Ling currently had no time to break the blood pact with Yu Xuezhao.
Therefore, he absolutely had to take Yu Xuezhao and escape quickly before the Sect Master reacted...
Composing himself, Pei Ling led Yu Xuezhao onto the teleportation Formation and activated the Formation with his identity token...
The surrounding space rippled. When it settled, Pei Ling and Yu Xuezhao had appeared in a desolate wilderness.
The teleportation location this time, like the last, was in a remote area, unguarded, with only a stronghold protected by a large apricot blossom forest Formation.
Stepping out of the Formation, Pei Ling used his Divine Thought to confirm that there was no one around and no surveillance methods. With a thought, his entire body shifted, quickly transforming into Wang Gao's appearance.
Before he officially became the Saint, when he escaped from the Sect, there were only three places in the world he could go.
One was the Righteous Path; the second was Qingyao Mountain; the third was to hide in the Heavenly Born Sect under the identity of Kang Shaoyin.
But now, Old Ancestor Li had already taken custody of his soul lamp and concealed his heavenly secrets and fate. As long as he changed his identity, the Sect would no longer be able to find his whereabouts, except for the Li Clan.
The world was vast; he could go anywhere!
"Dog Owner, where are we going?" Yu Xuezhao leaped onto an apricot blossom branch, her pink skirt and red sash fluttering. She happily kicked down apricot blossoms that fell like rain, asking cheerfully.
Pei Ling slowly exhaled a turbid breath: "Let's just be a Loose Cultivator for now, wandering the world."
After saying this, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of ease, as if an invisible mountain had been lifted from him. He was slightly surprised, but quickly understood the reason...
Leaning on the Li Clan, although he didn't have to toil for Cultivation resources and enjoyed various privileges, being in a Demonic Path Sect meant that everything he saw and heard was often at odds with his true heart, yet there was nothing he could do.
Although he had left the Sect for several missions before, those were ultimately temporary; he would always return.
And no matter where he went, he could not escape the identity of a Chongming Sect Disciple.
A Saint Sect Prodigy was a deterrent, a protection, and in some sense, an honor earned by fighting his way up from the bottom... However, it was also a restraint, a violation of his Dao Heart, and... not at ease! Not carefree! Not happy!
And at this moment, he had finally temporarily escaped the protection and control of Chongming Sect, taking a truly unconstrained step...
Like a bird freed from its cage, his Dao Heart cleared. Pei Ling suddenly thought of his youth, before he activated the System, when he Cultivated the Forging Bone Art with his Aptitude and perseverance.
He was struggling, in pain, walking between life and death, yet he was full of hope and all sorts of fantasies for the future, vibrant and unrestrained.
At that time, he had no power or influence, living in Luquan City, and had never been to any other place, yet he felt as if he owned the entire world.
After entering Chongming Sect, although his Cultivation and status steadily rose, he was constantly on the run for various reasons. The desire for carefree immortality when he first entered the Dao had long been neglected, and he was powerless to attend to it.
Today, like a fish returning to the sea, a tiger breaking free from its cage, he could finally truly be himself...
At this moment and place, the misty rain was falling, and apricot blossoms fluttered, stained with glistening drops, like a dream.
Pei Ling's wide sleeves fluttered as he strode forward, stirring up countless apricot blossom raindrops, leading Yu Xuezhao out of the apricot blossom forest and embarking on a new journey.
Long in a cage, spirit faded,
Scales worn, against the waves.
Now, with a long cry, to the azure sky,
Chains severed, spirit free and unburdened.
(End of Volume Two.)
Remember to vote after reading!
End of volume.
Typing another "End" character, the second volume has concluded.
It's a bit regrettable; I went to the hospital and couldn't post it at noon, so it was delayed too late.
Everyone is very concerned about Tie's condition, so I'll briefly explain the examination results here: four films were taken—cervical spine, thoracic spine, and both knees—and oral and topical medicines were prescribed.
The most serious problem was not the spine, which Tie was worried about, but the cervical spine, which was quite unexpected.
The doctor's advice is to rest well and avoid overexertion. Also, stop all current fitness methods and switch to swimming.
After leaving the hospital, I went directly to the nearest heated swimming pool and already got an annual pass.
Moving forward, for the sake of health and to avoid affecting the quality of the book, Tie needs to increase some rest time. From now on, the four daily updates will remain unchanged, but additional updates might not be as timely. Please bear with me.
Report finished, let's talk about business.
First, let's talk about the results. The performance of the second volume has improved well, entering the "Boutique" category, and more and more readers are joining, even a reader group has been established.
Everyone's recognition is Tie's motivation for typing every day.
Some readers surely remember the promise of additional updates based on average subscriptions, and Tie actually never forgot it; I've always been thinking about it.
But during this period, I was truly willing but unable, so I can only apologize again.
Subjectively, Tie really wants to provide more updates.
However, my energy and body do not allow it, and Tie also doesn't want to just casually rush things to deal with everyone.
Therefore, I can only ask everyone to wait patiently. When Tie's body recovers and I have enough energy, I will definitely make it up.
Here, I once again thank everyone for their support, thank the several Alliance Masters for their rewards, thank the many book friends who helped promote the book, thank the readers who have continuously subscribed, rewarded, and voted, and thank the operations officer for their help.
Reviewing the second volume, from Mei Family Fortress to Pengying Temple, and then to the Liulan Dynasty trip, a more vast world view gradually unfolded. The customs and practices, distinctly different from the Underworld Sect, were also presented to everyone through the protagonist's actions.
The subsequent Imperial Dynasty plot, as the first Righteous Path Sect to appear, was written in great detail, and the length seems quite long.
This is because before the book started, the Nine Great Sects had already been fully set up, and the opposition between Righteous and Demonic Paths is a very important part of this book.
And the Righteous Path's way of doing things naturally needs to be introduced to everyone through specific events.
With the protagonist's journey of Alchemy advancement from Qu City in the Imperial Dynasty as a clue, I believe everyone has gained a deep impression of the Imperial Dynasty, or rather, of the Righteous Path's ideals, atmosphere, and thoughts.
This is an effect that small-scale dungeons and quests, which only allow contact with a small number of Righteous Path individuals, cannot achieve.
The biggest problem in this volume was that the plot handling in the Middle Stage was not smooth enough, which led to some controversy.
Although immediate remedies were made, some readers were still not satisfied.
The subsequent Tianwai Island and the grand finale at the end of the volume were written more successfully.
A truly memorable climax requires sufficient foreshadowing, build-up, and brewing, before igniting the fuse, to give readers an explosive sense of stimulation.
If the scene between the protagonist and the Sect Master hadn't had layers of progressive build-up, and then used the Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony to attract everyone's attention, achieving an unexpected transformation, the thrill of a subordinate overthrowing a superior would definitely not be as high as it is now.
In addition, for the gathering of the Eight Sects, it was first foreshadowed by the Tianwai Island dungeon, leading to the Nine Great Sects gathering, the Sect Master's wife promoting the protagonist's reputation, and Su Zhen Heaven's newly formed Nascent Soul true disciple serving as a foil to the protagonist's strength. In this situation, the Eight Sects accepting the invitation to visit would not seem abrupt.
The foreshadowing of the two major dungeons was both to provide everyone with an enjoyable sensory and imaginative experience, and to allow the protagonist to reasonably enter a broader world.
The next volume will open with the Reincarnation Tower, the last Demonic Sect's philosophy will soon be revealed, and the protagonist will also embark on a new journey.
Let us accompany this "Tian Sheng Demonic Son" of Destiny to continue forward, see more scenery, and savor more magnificent people and events.
Finally: Please collect! Please subscribe! Please vote for monthly passes! Please give rewards!
Oh, and also, please give character little stars (Tie really wants a character to be promoted to Four-Star, to see what the character gifts are like).
Yesterday, I was too tired and overslept. Tie just woke up and is still eating.
Today's update will be a bit late.
Chapter 688: Samsara Tower. (First update! Please subscribe!)
The great desert was desolate, with yellow sand stretching for thousands of miles.
Beneath the azure sky, a line of wild geese flew slowly by.
Countless stone pagodas stood among the dunes, varying in height, like a forest.
Each level of the stone pagodas had ancient-looking copper bells hanging, gently swaying with the wind, emitting an old and profound ringing sound.
As the wind blew the sand, amidst the rustling sounds of falling sand, colorful insects, snakes, and vipers would occasionally cautiously peek out, surveying their surroundings.
At the center of the pagoda forest was a towering, majestic pagoda with one hundred and eight levels.
Its presence was grand and powerful, rising from the ground, taller than mountains. The entire pagoda body was covered with large and small runes, and it was entirely glazed, transparent and crystalline, intricately carved with countless joyous demons, ghosts, and enchanting women dancing.
On the copper bells hanging around, bloodshot eyeballs, one by one, opened and closed as the bells swayed, silently gazing in all directions.
At this moment, inside the giant pagoda, in a spacious quiet room.
In the center of the hall, a scroll hung high. With a white background and black characters, it bore the two words “Reincarnation” written in a vigorous and imposing calligraphic style, like a Dragon dancing. Even without looking directly, one could sense the profound, powerful, and resolute will contained within it.
Beneath the scroll were several prayer mats, all occupied by people sitting cross-legged.
An Old Man with an ancient appearance and a gilded Glazed Tile Pagoda hanging from his waist, a Grey-Robed Cultivator, with his eyes lowered, spoke in a deep voice: “...In short, this is roughly what happened during this trip to Chongming Sect to attend the Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony.”
“The newly promoted Saint of Chongming Sect, Pei Ling, is indeed a Genius with outstanding talent, however, such a Genius consumes a great deal.”
“Even ordinary Cauldrons can no longer satisfy him.”
“To the extent that he publicly took the Sect Master’s wife.”
“Creation ebbs and flows, the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation operates,” a young-looking Grey-Robed Cultivator nearby sighed softly and said, “The Pan Ya World now has abundant Spiritual Qi and is peaceful, nourishing many beings. However, living beings are inherently greedy and selfish. If a pregnant woman's diet is insufficient, her body will automatically abandon the fetus to preserve itself; an infant just out of the womb, when sucking milk, also uses all its strength, completely disregarding the mother's feelings.”
“Mortals seek fame and fortune, endlessly.”
“Cultivators, in pursuit of longevity, resort to even more unscrupulous means.”
“They are completely unaware that no matter how prosperous a world is, it ultimately has a limit.”
Another female Grey-Robed Cultivator said indifferently: “No, the greed and selfishness of living beings have long surpassed their concern for this world.”
“Even if they know perfectly well that this act is detrimental to the Pan Ya World, when they see other living beings taking, they scramble to do the same.”
“If left unchecked, in the long run, both Mortals and Cultivators will find their circumstances increasingly difficult.”
“At that time, in order to compete for resources, the world will surely fall into great chaos.”
“Cultivators will fight each other, Mortals will kill each other, blood will flow everywhere, and corpses will litter the fields.”
“Even if such a Heavenly Dao undergoes Reincarnation on its own, it will be severely weakened, which is extremely detrimental to the entire Pan Ya World.”
“Pei Ling, the newly promoted Saint of Chongming Sect this time, is a vivid example.”
“To form a Celestial Infant of Superior Grade, he disregards the rules and etiquette of the sect, utterly shameless.”
“This is just a junior who has been on the Dao for less than fifty years, yet he has already gone to such extremes.”
“If all the Cultivators in this world were like Pei Ling, then the Reincarnation and balance of the Pan Ya World would surely collapse.”
“And if that happens, destruction is imminent!”
“Our Reincarnation Tower has always taken the Reincarnation of all living beings as its responsibility.”
“Now that signs of chaos have already appeared, we cannot delay any longer…”
She turned to the Old Ancestor Miao Ruosheng at the head and suggested in a deep voice, “We should eliminate fifty percent of the living beings in this world and then observe the effects!”
“Junior Sister Qin is absolutely right.” The young Grey-Robed Cultivator from before pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, “Our sect has done this act of universal salvation and Reincarnation more than once.”
“The Pan Ya World is what it is today because our sect has been secretly protecting it; otherwise, this world would have been destroyed countless times by the endless greed of living beings.”
“However, living beings are ignorant and selfish; they will not be grateful to us, and they even harbor resentment and hatred towards us.”
“But none of that matters.”
“We have all seen through the various aspects of the world; we seek neither fame nor profit, only peace and tranquility for this world.”
“That is where our hearts find peace!”
There was a brief silence in the quiet room, then Old Man Wu echoed, “Exactly!”
The others then nodded in agreement: “The great calamity of Reincarnation is unstoppable, but it can be weakened and eliminated. If we don’t act now, it is feared that in the future, only one in ten living beings in this world will remain.”
“Of two evils, choose the lesser.”
“We must act immediately to eliminate half of the living beings to avoid utter disaster.”
“Living beings are ignorant, born in confusion and dying in folly. The vast majority cannot understand our painstaking efforts.”
“Even our allies, Chongming Sect, only see profit, greedy and foolish, without any sense of the bigger picture, not presentable; Heavenly Born Sect believes that by following the will of Heaven in everything, they can substitute their will for Heaven’s will, and their actions for Heaven’s actions, but in reality, this is nothing but a pipe dream!”
“Without us to guard Reincarnation and weigh the gains and losses, if the world is destroyed and heaven and earth cease to exist, where will the will of Heaven reside?”
“As for Wu Shi Villa, everyone claims to be Immortals descended to the world, yet they idle away their days, scurrying around like headless flies, completely unaware of where to go, no different from walking corpses, merely holding positions without performing their duties.”
“Only our Reincarnation Tower, without regard for fame or loss, consistently protects this world!”
After the many High Grade members spoke in a flurry, they all looked towards the Old Ancestors at the head.
A moment later, one of the Old Ancestors nodded slightly and said slowly, “It can be done.”
Everyone immediately perked up!
The Reincarnation Tower has been silent for many years, so much so that when the Saintly Path Four Sects are mentioned today, Chongming Sect, Heavenly Born Sect, and Wu Shi Villa, whether in terms of prominence or presence, have overshadowed the Reincarnation Tower.
But now, it is time to unleash a new change of Reincarnation!
“However, the Pseudo-Dao side will certainly hypocritically try to stop us from saving the world.” One Old Ancestor said calmly, “Therefore, we must first deal with the Pseudo-Dao.”
“Send the F Tu Envoys to visit the three allied Dao sects and jointly attack the False Path Five Sects, first eliminating the five biggest scourges in this world that obstruct the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao!”
After speaking, in the center of the quiet room, space suddenly rippled, and then three beads quietly appeared.
These beads were entirely silver-white, with intricate black patterns covering them, vaguely forming the shape of a pagoda. At the tip of the pagoda, a seemingly living, bloodshot eyeball was embedded, occasionally rotating and looking outwards.
These are the Reincarnation Tower F Tu Beads.
The holder of the bead is as if the Grand F屠 Order is present!
Without any hesitation, Old Man Wu reached out and grasped one of the beads: “Wu Tiao accepts the order and will immediately proceed to Chongming Sect!”
Immediately after, the Grey-Robed female Cultivator also took a bead into her palm: “Qin Mi accepts the order and will immediately proceed to Heavenly Born Sect!”
The last bead fell into the young Grey-Robed Cultivator’s hand: “Liao Yuanxian accepts the order and will immediately proceed to Wu Shi Villa!”

Chapter 689 Why is the Sect Master so stingy? (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Chongming Sect.
Inside Tian Geng Palace, which hung high above the Nine Heavens, Sect Leader Su Lijing, in his light robes, frowned deeply as he sat upon his throne.
Dozens of beautiful foreign maidens, all young and exceptionally charming, adorned in light veils and bedecked with jewels, surrounded the throne. Their every movement exuded allure.
They stood or knelt, their figures soft and graceful, all intentionally or unintentionally casting alluring, affectionate glances towards Su Lijing.
However, Su Lijing did not even spare them a glance, only lost in thought.
After days of investigation, he increasingly found things amiss!
He had initially thought that during this Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony, with no one daring to challenge the Ten Thousand Races Blood Ladder, the False Path Five Sects would try their best to conceal the matter. But to his surprise, all the information he was now receiving indicated that the False Path Five Sects were widely publicizing it.
Moreover, the focus wasn't on the new Saint of the Saint Sect, Pei Ling, but on his magnanimity as the Sect Master!
What did this mean?
Of course, due to the vast distances between the Nine Great Sects, there would be a certain time delay in this intelligence. But with the Sect Master's personal command, he believed the truth of the matter would be known in a few days.
Just then, a voice transmission from the Surveillance Hall Master came from outside: "Sect Master, Elder Wu of the Reincarnation Tower is here again, requesting an audience with the Grand F屠 Order."
Su Lijing was slightly startled upon hearing this. After the Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony, Old Ancestor Miao Ruosheng of the Reincarnation Tower and Grand F屠 Order Wu Tiao, along with their True Disciples, had only left the Saint Sect a few days ago. Why were they back now?
And, he was requesting an audience with the Grand F屠 Order.
Feeling suspicious, Su Lijing ordered: "Invite him in."
Before long, Wu Tiao slowly walked into Tian Geng Palace, and stood below the steps, bowing to Su Lijing: "Su Sect Leader."
"Elder Wu, there's no need for such formality."
Su Lijing extended a hand across the long steps, gesturing for him to be seated. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he directly asked, "May I ask, Elder Wu, why you have returned? Has something happened at the Holy Tower?"
Wu Tiao said solemnly: "Pan Ya World is in danger!"
"The world has been at peace for too long, and living beings are born greedy and selfish. If this continues, how can this world endure?"
"If this continues, the world, in order to save itself, will surely bring about a great Reincarnation tribulation, annihilating all living beings."
"Therefore, we must first slaughter fifty percent of all living beings to weaken the tribulation and secure a sliver of hope for ourselves!"
"Currently, there are Nine Great Sects in the world, and you and I are of the same Dao, so there is no reason for us to fight among ourselves."
"I have come today to represent the Reincarnation Tower and invite the Saint Sect to join us in considering the well-being of all living beings in the world, to jointly crusade against the False Path Five Sects, and eradicate the root of disaster in this world!"
Su Lijing listened with an indifferent expression, not caring at all about the Reincarnation Tower's inexplicable plan and reasons. He merely said: "The Holy Tower's lofty aspirations are greatly admired by this Sect Master."
"However, our Sect is a large enterprise, and many Disciples are still living frugally."
"Even mortals say,'Soldiers and horses move, provisions go first.'"
"I wonder how many Spirit Stones the Holy Tower intends to allocate to our Sect for participating in the crusade against the False Path Five Sects?"
Wu Tiao was startled, then frowned: "Su Sect Leader, this world is already in decline. Now, with the world on the verge of destruction, no living being will be spared; all are within the tribulation."
"At this critical juncture, for the Sect Leader to still prioritize his personal interests and disregard the overall situation is truly disappointing."
Su Lijing smiled faintly and said loudly: "Elder Wu, my Saint Sect is not Wu Shi Villa. It's impossible for the Saint Sect, from top to bottom, to fight and die for the Holy Tower's objectives without a single Spirit Stone, relying solely on empty words."
"Besides, our Holy Path has always been led by Wu Shi Villa."
"We can't just be driven by the Holy Tower without any reason, can we?"
"Even if this Sect Master agrees, the Elders, deacons, and Disciples under this Sect Master would never agree."
"Of course, you and I are, after all, of the same Dao."
"So, as long as you show enough sincerity, this Sect Master isn't unable to mediate on your behalf."
Wu Tiao said in a deep voice: "The Reincarnation Tower's efforts this time are not for fame or profit, nor do they fear death. They only seek to secure a sliver of hope for the common people of the world."
"For Su Sect Leader to be so calculating, it's rather like taking advantage and then feigning innocence!"
Su Lijing remained calm: "The Holy Tower indeed acts without regard for fame, profit, or death, which this Sect Master greatly admires. However, everyone in the Saint Sect is still caught in the illusion of fame and profit and cannot see through it."
"Therefore, without benefits, the Saint Sect will do nothing."
"Elder Wu, why don't you visit Wu Shi Villa?"
"A Grand F屠 Order has already gone to Wu Shi Villa," Wu Tiao said, with a hint of anger in his tone, "so there's no need for Su Sect Leader's guidance."
"Su Sect Leader is also a person of this world; such a major event is intimately related to you. Can you truly not make any contribution?"
"The rules of my Saint Sect are that any mistake can be compensated with Spirit Stones. From top to bottom, we have always acted solely based on Spirit Stones."
Su Lijing merely shook his head, "Without Spirit Stones, this Sect Master is powerless to help."
Seeing that he would not yield an inch, Wu Tiao frowned deeply and said indignantly: "During the Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony, Su Sect Leader's magnanimity was vast. He could even casually bestow his lawfully wedded wife, who hailed from the Floating Light Si Hong Clan, upon a Disciple. Why now..."
Boom!!!
Before he finished speaking, Wu Tiao was already struck by a palm and sent flying out of Tian Geng Palace, crashing through countless palace walls and furnishings, carving a distinct mark in the sea of clouds, and then stopping mid-air.
He was disheveled and slightly discomfited, looking at Su Lijing, who slowly appeared before him. He couldn't help but frown deeply. They were talking amicably, why did Su Sect Leader suddenly attack him?
At this moment, Su Lijing's face was cold and his killing intent was chilling as he stared menacingly at Wu Tiao not far away.
Not to mention that this old fellow was merely a Grand F屠 Order of the Reincarnation Tower, even if the Grand F屠 Order of the Reincarnation Tower himself had arrived, daring to speak to him so disrespectfully, he would still make the other party pay the price!
"Considering we are of the same Dao, this Sect Master will not kill you today."
Staring at Wu Tiao for a moment, Su Lijing sneered, "Later, this Sect Master will send word to the Grand F屠 Order, asking the Reincarnation Tower to send ten million High-Grade Spirit Stones to redeem your life."
"If the Reincarnation Tower deems you unworthy, then remain in the Saint Sect and serve as material for the youngsters' Alchemy and artifact forging!"
Wu Tiao was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Su Sect Leader's magnanimity that day is already known throughout the world, so why bother with such feigned sentimentality now?"
Could it be that Su Lijing had made a mistake in his Cultivation and gone mad?
On that day, the high-ranking officials of the Nine Great Sects gathered, and his concern and affection for Pei Ling were evident to all. His various acts of generosity and prioritizing the new blood of the Sect left the Nine Great Sects in awe.
Only a few days had passed, and he was treated like this just for mentioning it. It was simply capricious and tyrannical!
"This Sect Master gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you didn't know how to cherish it," Su Lijing said coldly, raising a hand and pointing. A dark bone Dragon appeared out of thin air, roaring as it charged towards Wu Tiao...
Boom boom boom...
A huge commotion instantly erupted in the sea of clouds, and battle broke out!

Chapter 690: Mangshan. (Third update! Please subscribe!)
Mang Mountain Market.
At noon, the market was at its liveliest, with figures constantly flashing under the archway at the market entrance.
Amidst the bustling crowd, a Black-Robed Cultivator slowly stepped into the market.
His face was hidden by a wide hood, and looking at him head-on, beneath the hood was a painted Yao Wolf mask.
This was a Magic Treasure, capable of blocking Divine Thought prying.
Trailing behind him was a similarly dressed slender figure, who, despite the exceptionally wide black robe, could be discerned as a young girl from her demeanor.
The girl wore a Yao Fox mask, also a Magic Treasure that concealed her Qi.
Those who passed by subconsciously cast a glance at the two.
Black-robed, hooded individuals were ubiquitous in the market, but mask Magic Treasures capable of blocking Divine Thought prying were rare.
Both of their Qi were completely restrained, almost to nothing.
Soon, they blended into the market along with the many Loose Cultivators around them.
This market was located under the jurisdiction of Jiuyi Mountain, right next to Mang Mountain.
Mang Mountain was said to stretch for a hundred thousand li, with powerful Yao Beasts and Immortal Caves deep within its recesses. Regardless of these legends, its resources were extremely abundant.
Consequently, Cultivators from all directions came to Mang Mountain Market year-round, traveling thousands of li for cultivation resources, making the place exceptionally prosperous and lively.
What met the eye now were various dazzling signboards, and almost every shop was bustling with people, doing thriving business.
However, despite the large crowd, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Occasionally, when a dispute arose over a failed transaction, Blue-Robed Cultivators with mountain-embroidered emblems on their garments would immediately step forward and politely invite them to the market's Main Hall to resolve it, so as not to disturb others.
These Blue-Robed Cultivators were all Jiuyi Mountain Outer Sect Disciples, serving their rotation here.
Before taking office, they all underwent strict instruction.
While their attitude was not impolite, it brooked no refusal, consistently maintaining the market's orderliness.
The Black-Robed male's expression was calm. After asking for directions, he went straight to the largest medicinal store in the market. The girl following him, however, looked around, seemingly curious about everything.
Especially when passing a Magic Robe shop, the girl repeatedly looked back with reluctance. Only when she saw that the Black-Robed male had no intention of acknowledging her did she reluctantly follow.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Cuiwei Medicinal Store.
This medicinal store occupied a vast area, with five floors in total, featuring upturned eaves and elegant decorations, indicating at a glance that its owner was no simple person.
According to the information gathered, it was a direct property of Jiuyi Mountain, known for its fairness, and had never been involved in incidents of greed or murder for profit.
Hence, its reputation was excellent.
The Black-Robed male did not hesitate and led the girl directly inside.
Upon entering, they saw a spacious Main Hall, where a row of attendants with Qi cultivation stood facing them.
Seeing guests enter, the shopkeeper, who was seated behind the counter not far away, was about to instruct someone to greet them, when his expression suddenly froze slightly. He couldn't discern the cultivation of the newcomers!
Realizing this, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then immediately signaled the attendant who had already moved to stop, and personally walked out from behind the counter, smiling as he said, “Your Excellencies, how may I help you?”
Hearing this, the Black-Robed male, who was walking in front, said in a flat tone, “I want to sell some Medicinal Pills and also acquire some Materials.”
As he spoke, he took out a Jade Bottle and a Jade Slip, handing them to the shopkeeper.
The Jade Bottle contained the Medicinal Pills he wished to sell, while the Jade Slip recorded the medicinal Materials he intended to purchase.
The shopkeeper took the items but did not immediately examine them. Instead, he invited them to sit at a nearby table and chairs, instructed someone to serve tea, and only then began to browse the contents of the Jade Slip.
As he read, his expression quickly became serious.
Most of the medicinal Materials the visitor wished to acquire were available at the medicinal store, but among them were a few particularly precious Heaven And Earth Treasures that ordinary medicinal shops probably hadn't even heard of!
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper then opened the Jade Bottle. The Medicinal Pills inside were crystal clear and smooth, yet no medicinal fragrance emanated from them. He couldn't help but be startled, pouring out the Medicinal Pills to examine them carefully. His expression immediately changed slightly, and he quickly put the Medicinal Pills away, then immediately said, “May Your Excellency tell me the origin of this Medicinal Pill…?”
Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper realized his slip of the tongue and hastily corrected himself, “What I mean is, if Your Excellency has more of this kind of Medicinal Pill, my humble shop will take as many as you have!”
“As for the medicinal Materials Your Excellency wishes to acquire, my humble shop currently does not have a few of them, but we can arrange for transfer. Within approximately three days, we can give Your Excellency a definite answer.”
The Black-Robed male nodded, put away the Jade Bottle, and said, “In that case, I will return in three days.”
With that, he immediately stood up and left with the Black-Robed girl.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly asked, “May Your Excellency tell me your esteemed name?”
“Wang Gao.”
***
As soon as they exited Cuiwei Medicinal Store, Pei Ling quickly said, “Let’s go back.”
With that, he strode towards the outside of the market.
Yu Xuezhao gently stamped her foot, reluctantly glancing back at the various shops selling food, drinks, and entertainment, and immediately followed.
Striding through the crowd, Pei Ling pondered in his heart.
After becoming the Righteous Path Saint, and with the aid of the Nine Sects' Dao charm, his cultivation had now Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage Middle Stage, and he was even not far from the Nascent Soul Stage Late Stage.
However, upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage Late Stage, he would face the outer tribulation.
At that time, without the support of Sect forces, relying solely on himself, it would be incredibly difficult to collect the items needed for Soul Transformation when facing the outer tribulation.
Therefore, from now on, he had to prepare for Soul Transformation.
Of course, among the congratulatory gifts he received at the Dao Companion ceremony that day, there were many cultivation resources. But they were mostly immobile assets such as mineral veins, medicinal farms, cities, and Immortal Caves.
Besides that, cultivation resources for the Nascent Soul Stage were also not few.
However, many items related to Soul Transformation were still lacking.
And in these past few days, he had visited several markets along the way.
This Cuiwei Medicinal Store was a common recommendation from the shopkeepers of these markets' medicinal shops.
Facts proved that the character of those on the Righteous Path was mostly reliable.
Cuiwei Medicinal Store was the first shop to promise to be able to transfer Soul Transformation Materials for him.
Thinking this, the man and the fox had already left the market.
Pei Ling immediately took out a Magic Boat, and after activating it, it carried the two of them through the air.
After flying for some time, the Magic Boat gradually entered deeper into Mang Mountain.
The surrounding vegetation gradually became lush, and the roars of various birds and beasts echoed one after another. The flying boat did not stop at all, sweeping past from above, and soon entered completely uninhabited mountain forests.
In a moment, the flying boat began to descend, breaking through a patch of towering giant trees, finally stopping on a cliff beside a cascading waterfall.
The man and the fox stepped out of the Magic Boat. Pei Ling formed a hand seal to put away this temporarily refined transport Magic Treasure, and with a thought, the surrounding light and shadows shifted, instantly concealing their figures.
Not far away, however, two roughly built thatched huts slowly emerged.
Chapter 691: Thunder is furious! (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
This was a temporary lodging Pei Ling had specifically chosen. The place was secluded and undisturbed, with no precious medicinal Materials or rare Yao Beasts around.
When using one-click Hosting, there’s no need to worry about the System giving away random items… because there’s simply nothing to give away nearby.
Approaching the larger thatched hut, the Spirit Gathering Array immediately activated, quickly filling the hut with dense Spiritual Qi.
This thatched hut was slightly taller than ordinary ones, and besides the Spirit Gathering Array, its four walls were also carved with warning and protective runes.
However, the entire room was empty. Aside from some hooks on the walls, there was only a meditation cushion Magic Treasure placed in the center, which was conducive to Cultivation.
Other than that, it was spotless and bare, truly having nothing but four walls.
At this moment, he took off his mask, hung it on the mud wall, and looked at Yu Xuezhao, who had followed him in: “I will Cultivate here for three days, and then go to Mang Mountain Market.”
As he spoke, Pei Ling took out a storage bag, threw it over, and said, “Take the Medicinal Pills in this storage bag and Cultivate well.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuezhao’s eyes lit up. She quickly took the storage bag, opened it, and saw that it was full of Supreme Grade Medicinal Pills, immediately filling her heart with joy.
The Dog Owner is still pretty good; he’s very generous with Cultivation resources. It’s a pity he won’t kneel to her… Hmm, and he also won’t let her call him “Dog Owner”…
However, she calls him that in her heart, and the Dog Owner doesn’t know at all!
Hehehe… Dog Owner Dog Owner Dog Owner Dog Owner Dog Owner!!!
“The things are good, so I’ll take them.” A fox tail extended from beneath Yu Xuezhao’s skirt, wagging happily as she said, “Dog… Master, Cultivate with ease, I will definitely help you act as a Protector!”
Hearing this, Pei Ling merely waved his hand, telling her to leave.
He didn’t expect Yu Xuezhao to provide any protection anyway. With his current strength, as long as he didn’t go to the Four Great Cursed Grounds or provoke the Nine Great Sects, there were very few entities in the ordinary wilderness that could harm him.
Having sent Yu Xuezhao away, Pei Ling no longer wasted time. He silently thought, “System, I want to Cultivate. One-click Hosting 【Blood Blade True Understanding】.”
“Ding dong!” The System quickly came online, “Intelligent Cultivation System wholeheartedly serves you! One-click Hosting, intelligent upgrade! Beginning Hosting Cultivation now. Friendly reminder: During Cultivation, the host will lose control of their body. Please do not panic…”
“Ding dong! Detecting that Cultivating 【Blood Blade True Understanding】 requires blood essence pills…”
“Ding dong! blood essence pills detected. The System will continue your Cultivation…”
Accompanied by the System’s prompt, Pei Ling immediately lost control of his body and began to circulate his magic power, Cultivating the Cultivation Technique.
This 【Blood Blade True Understanding】 is a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation Technique from the Saint’s Legacy, of extremely high grade, an Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique.
It is on the same level as the 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】 that the System secretly recorded from the Sect Master.
On that day, when he received the Saint’s Legacy and the Ancestral Master imparted the method, all memories of the Legacy above the Nascent Soul Stage were Sealed.
But Pei Ling later checked the System and found that all Legacies had already been recorded by the System.
Of course, for those Legacies with missing memories, his Cultivation was not high enough, so even if the System had recorded them, he could not Cultivate them.
Besides this, the Saint’s Legacy he obtained was very complete, clearly recording various Taboos during Cultivation of Cultivation Techniques, as well as required environments, Medicinal Pills, and other auxiliary items.
Even when conditions were insufficient, it described which alternative Materials could be used.
The blood essence pill that the System just detected was refined by him using the blood essence pill Pill Formula from the Saint’s Legacy, through System Hosting Alchemy.
Now that his Cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Stage Middle Stage, his Alchemy speed was completely incomparable to before. Not to mention this blood essence pill, even the Supreme Grade Mind Enlightenment Pill and Supreme Grade Corporeal Inversion Life-Snatching Pill, which previously took a day and a night to refine, now only took about half an hour.
Therefore, he had refined a large amount of blood essence pills during this period using his surplus medicinal Materials.
Moreover, during these days, in addition to acquiring Soul Transformation Materials, he also incidentally acquired many medicinal Materials for Medicinal Pills.
Currently, while the System was Hosting his Cultivation, Pei Ling pondered: “After condensing my Nascent Soul, the three Divine Abilities of 【Curse】, 【Resentful Nightmare】, and 【Bewitching Soul】 in the Curse Ghost Dao Foundation are all complete.”
“When I use 【Eternal Curse Divine Power】 now, besides being able to weaken the opponent, if the opponent is too much weaker than me, it’s very likely they’ll be directly cursed to death on the spot…”
“【Resentful Nightmare Divine Power】 allows me to absorb the opponent’s hatred, resentment, and evil thoughts to transform into my own strength…”
“However, perhaps because I am not a Curse Ghost, this power is only effective while the Divine Ability is active. As soon as I end 【Resentful Nightmare Divine Power】, the absorbed power will quickly dissipate.”
“This Divine Ability works best for me when combined with 【Eternal Regret Curse】.”
“And the newly acquired 【Bewitching Soul Divine Power】 is the opposite of 【Resentful Nightmare】, allowing me to assimilate others with my own hatred and evil thoughts, thereby controlling the opponent’s will!”
“This Divine Ability may not have such an effect on opponents with particularly firm willpower… but if used in actual combat to interfere with the opponent’s mind, it is very good.”
“There’s also 【Three Ghosts Free Evasion】. It’s also in the Saint’s Legacy. I have now mastered Blood Ghost Escape Technique and Netherghost Escape Technique. As long as I master one more ghost evasion method, I can combine the three ghosts to form 【Three Ghosts Free Evasion】.”
“After this transaction yields enough Materials, I’ll first learn 【Three Ghosts Free Evasion】, then find a more remote place to go into seclusion, and directly use the System to Hosting for ten years…”
“By then, my Cultivation will surpass the Sect Master’s, and I’ll return to Chongming Sect, bring Senior Sister out, and Cultivate 【Six Desires Secret Canon】 every day…”
***
Chongming Sect.
Su Lijing returned to Tian Geng Palace with a livid face. As soon as he entered the door, he flicked his sleeve, smashing two Cauldron whose kneeling posture was not soft enough into a bloody rain, scattering everywhere!
“Master!” The other Cauldron, seeing this, turned pale with fright. They hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, not daring to breathe loudly.
Bang!
Su Lijing struck again, shattering a decorative Magic Treasure vase with one palm. The Reincarnation Tower’s Futu Envoy had been driven away by him, but from the other party’s mouth, he had already learned the entire truth of the matter!
Pei Ling!
This ******* little beast, while he was in seclusion, ******* his legal wife!
And, it was in front of the Eight Sects True Inheritors!
No wonder when the Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony was held, the Eight Sects Cultivators looked at him with such strange gazes everywhere!
No wonder Si Hong Qingyan usually handled matters with decorum, but at that time, she revealed murderous intent, wanting to put Pei Ling to death, and during the Saint and Saintess’s Dao Companion Ceremony, she refused to give gifts, ignored the toasts, and even left in a huff at the end!
Outrageous!
Outrageous!!!
He, as the Chongming Sect Master, had his wife *******, and he even personally presided over this Disciple’s Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony! Presided over the Dao Companion Ceremony!
Now, he feared that the entire world knew that he, Su Lijing, had been *******, and had to reciprocate by giving gifts to the other party!
