The Sect's Archenemy, the Saint Demon Sect

On the other side.

Sunflower True Person used his coral Flying Magical Item to traverse dozens of miles before finally landing on the summit of a spiritual mountain with a Third Rank Spirit Vein.

At the summit of this mountain stands a rather luxurious pavilion, upon which hangs a plaque inscribed with the words "Heart Questioning Hall".

"Junior Sister Kui Shui, weren't you stationed at the entrance to the secret realm in the Dragon Scale Sea Region? What brings you to my Heart Questioning Hall? And who are these two young friends...?"

An elderly man with white hair, also dressed in the robes of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, walked out of the Heart Questioning Hall.

"Wen Yun, these two young friends are descendants of Azure Water Shidi Ling Zhu more than two hundred years ago. They have come here to join the sect."

"I will follow the sect rules and bring it to you, Senior Brother Wen Yun."

According to the rules of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, no matter who goes out of the sect's secret realm, they must enter the Heart Questioning Great Hall.

Even Golden Core Realm True Person would find it difficult to escape the effects of the Third Rank High Grade Heart Questioning Grand Formation Array set up inside the Heart Questioning Great Hall.

After bowing respectfully to the white-haired old man named "Wen Yun," Sunflower Water True Person spoke.

Judging from the way Sunflower Water True Person addressed him, Ling Pengyun could easily guess that "Senior Brother Wen Yun" was also a Golden Core Realm True Person, and even higher in seniority than Sunflower True Person.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yun True Person thought for a moment and remembered Ling Zhu, a subordinate of Azure Water True Person.

Two or three hundred years ago, when Ling Clan, the Ling Zhu of the Ling clan, was still in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, he found a Third Rank High Grade Black Water Spirit Tree trunk in the ruins of a Golden Core sect in a small secret realm during his training. This led to him becoming the third-grade Talisman Crafter, Azure Water True Person, and refining that powerful natal Profound Water Treasure Talisman, which made him famous throughout the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect.

It was precisely because of Ling Zhu's fortuitous fortuitous opportunity that Azure Water True Person has achieved his current illustrious reputation in the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect.

Returning to his senses, Wen Yun True Person looked at Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong, and because of the Ling Clan's ancestor, he gave them a kind smile.

"So you two young friends are descendants of young friend Ling Zhu. You two are quite fortunate."

"Join my sect and Heart Questioning Hall."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun, who possessed the Yin Yang Primordial Scripture, showed a slight change in expression.

However, I recalled that I had once tested the difficulty of uttering the words "Yin Yang Primordial Scripture" and "Yin Yang Primordial Qi".

Just as the Yin Yang Primordial Scripture was protected by this world, it was fearless and stepped into the hall with Ling Yunhong.

There was nothing special inside the Heart Questioning Great Hall; it was similar to any other hall, with tables and chairs.

Just as the two entered the Heart Questioning Great Hall, a majestic voice rang out from outside the hall.

"The Heart Questioning Grand Formation!"

"Rise!"

Countless array patterns suddenly appeared on the ground inside the Heart Questioning Great Hall, transforming into a cloud of mist that enveloped Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong. Wisps of mist also silently entered their bodies.

The next moment, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong felt a wave of drowsiness wash over Sea of Consciousness, which they could not resist even by using their spiritual power.

Before five breaths had passed, Ling Yunhong stopped responding and fell into a deep sleep.

Because Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense Divine Sense more resilient than that of a typical Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator, he was able to hold out for a longer time, a full ten breaths, before losing consciousness.

Outside the palace.

Seeing this, the Wen Yun True Person, who was manipulating the Heart Questioning Grand Formation, looked at Ling Pengyun, his eyes flashing slightly, and a thought struck him.

"This person's Divine Sense is quite resilient, and it seems that he has not cultivated any Secret Method of Divine Sense."

"This person must either have obtained some spiritual object that enhances Divine Sense through great fortuitous opportunity, or he was born with a strong Divine Sense and has a talent for Divine Sense."

"If it is the latter, with the help of a profound method for cultivating Divine Sense, this person may have the opportunity to possess the Divine Sense of the Golden Core Realm stage while still in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"In that case, this person's chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage could be increased by 10%."

"He's a promising talent. The older cultivator's Divine Sense is also stronger than that of a typical Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator. Both of them are quite good."

"If these two can pass the test of conscience and are not spies sent by the enemy sect, then we'll see how Azure Water Shidi treats them."

His thoughts returned, and he looked at Sunflower True Person beside him before speaking.

"Kui Yuan Azure Water Shidi, you'll need to go and invite Azure Water Shidi. On the way, you can also tell him about the situation of these two people, as using Communication Talisman is somewhat inconvenient."

The beautiful Sunflower Water True Person nodded slightly and immediately used the coral Flying Magical Item to leave the third-tier spiritual mountain where the Heart Questioning Hall was located.

Wen Yun True Person then entered the Heart Questioning Great Hall and walked up to Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.

"What are your names, and where are you from?"

Although Ling Pengyun Ling Pengyun Ling Yunhong Ling Yunhong were unconscious, they were able to speak one after another due to the effects of the Heart Questioning Grand Formation.

"My name is Ling Pengyun, and I come from the Lingxiao Ling Clan of the Hundred Spirits Sect territory of the Yan Kingdom, one of the seven Great Country in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World."

"My name is Ling Yunhong, and I come from the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World..."

"..."

After a few breaths, when Wen Yun True Person learned that Ling Pengyun, who had reached the Consummation Realm Foundation Establishment, possessed Five Spirit Root, was only a little over sixty years old, and was a Spirit Plant genius who had improved a superior Spirit Rice variety, he was greatly astonished.

"I never expected this person's Spirit Root to be so poor, yet he has cultivated to such a level at such an advanced age. It's truly rare!"

"Furthermore, this person has improved the quality of the superior Spirit Rice, so he must have excellent comprehension."

"This person's cultivation level is probably due to his excellent comprehension, which has allowed him to improve to this extent. That makes sense."

"Thinking about it this way, there is a high probability that this person was born with excellent Divine Sense."

It is not uncommon for people with exceptional comprehension to cultivate quickly, but they are rare.

Once his thoughts returned to him, he questioned Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong again.

About a hundred breaths later, Sunflower Water True Person, who had left earlier, returned to the Heart Questioning Great Hall with a middle-aged man with blue hair, who had regular features and a scholarly air.

Wen Yun True Person also noticed the arrival of the two, looked at the blue-haired middle-aged man, and bowed slightly.

"Azure Water Shidi."

This blue-haired middle-aged man is none other than Azure Water True Person, the master of Ling Zhu, the ancestor of the Ling Clan.

"Brother Wen Yun." Azure Water True Person replied casually, his gaze settling on the faces of Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong. His eyes narrowed, and a hint of reminiscence gradually appeared.

Several breaths passed before he came to his senses, a hint of regret appearing on his face.

"These two do look somewhat like that kid Ling Zhu."

Immediately afterwards, Azure Water True Person asked Wen Yun True Person, who was interrogating Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.

"Wen Yun, have these two been colluding with enemy sects?"

"We haven't been able to find out anything through the Heart Questioning Grand Formation yet."

Wen Yun True Person replied.

Upon hearing this, Azure Water True Person felt slightly relieved.

He certainly didn't want any scoundrels among the descendants of his beloved disciple Ling Zhu to collude with enemy sects.

Then, he and Sunflower Water True Person waited quietly to the side, while listening to Wen Yun True Person interrogate Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.

After about half an incense stick's time, with the help of the Third Rank High Grade Heart Questioning Grand Formation in the hall, Wen Yun True Person was able to find out the origins of Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.

The suspicion that the two were spies of the enemy sect was also cleared.

However, everyone knew that Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong had come to seek the opportunity to obtain the Golden Core Opportunity.

Wen Yun True Person then asked Azure Water True Person, whose blue hair flowed freely.

"Azure Water Shidi, what are your plans for these two?"

"Both of these two possess strong Divine Sense and considerable talent. In particular, the younger Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense is nearly 50% stronger than that of a typical Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator. Moreover, he has not yet cultivated Divine Sense cultivation methods and has extremely high comprehension. Like your former personal disciple Ling Zhu, he is also a Spirit Plant genius."

"If we can nurture this person to reach the Golden Core, the sect will have one more third-tier Spirit Planter, which will be beneficial to the sect's Spirit Plant cultivation."

"If you don't intend to keep and train them..."

"These two now know about the hidden entrance to our sect's Dragon Scale Sea Region. After hundreds of years, our sect has only a few such hidden entrances left. If the matter of that entrance is spread and our enemy sect, the Saint Demon Sect, finds out, I'm afraid that the hidden entrance to that secret realm in the Dragon Scale Sea Region will be blocked again."

"In that case, it will be even more difficult for our sect members to go out."

"If you, junior brother, are unwilling to be the villain, then I will do it."

The Saint Demon Sect was the Nascent Soul sect that attacked the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect two or three hundred years ago. In addition, this sect is the number one demonic sect among the Devil Cultivator sects in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World.

As for the Saint Demon Sect Sect's attacks on the Canglan Bihai Sect for over two or three hundred years, it was because the Canglan Bihai Sect was facing a talent shortage at the time, with only one Nascent Soul Realm expert in charge.

At that time, the Saint Demon Sect Sect's leader Saint Demon Old Man Nascent Soul Late Stage, encountered a bottleneck and needed a large amount of cultivators' Essence Blood to refine blood pills to break through the bottleneck. So he set his sights on the Canglan Bihai Sect, which was an easy target.

After the Azure Sea Azure Sky Immortal Sect was defeated and entered the secret realm in seclusion, the Saint Demon Sect, in order to eliminate future troubles, has not reduced its encirclement and suppression of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect in recent years.

Furthermore, the mountain gate of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect's secret realm has always been heavily guarded by the Saint Demon Sect.

In addition, the Saint Demon Sect's Devil Cultivator are also lurking in the shadows in all thirty-six sea areas of the Boundless Sea Region, searching for the cultivators of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect who have survived and left the secret realm.

Initially, many disciples from the Azure Sea Secret Realm who went to the outside world through the small passage were captured alive by the Devil Cultivator of the Saint Demon Sect.

Furthermore, the Nascent Soul Realm Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect Devil Lord of the Demonic Sect personally took action, using a search method to find many hidden entrances to the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect's secret realm from the disciples' memories.

As a result, the Azure Sea Secret Realm has lost many of its small passages leading to the outside world.

If even these remaining passages are blocked, the people of the Azure Sea Secret Realm will find it difficult to leave the outside world.

The small passages to the secret realm can only be opened by experts at least at the late Nascent Soul Realm, relying on the secret realm control token.

But now the weakened Azure Sea Azure Sky Immortal Sect no longer has such a powerful figure.

Upon hearing what "Wen Yun True Person" said, Azure Water True Person frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"These two came from the desolate land of the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, so they must have suffered some hardships."

"Back then, I owed Ling Zhu a huge favor. Now that he's gone, that favor should fall on these two. In this way, my broken heart, which I've had for so many years, can be restored."

"Perhaps... this action will be helpful for me to overcome the Nascent Soul Realm Nascent Soul Tribulation later."

Upon Wen Yun True Person and Sunflower Water True Person, who were standing to the side, had a change of expression.

When Master Wenxin scanned Azure Water True Person with his True Person Divine Sense, he immediately discovered that Azure Water True Person possessed a profound aura that was also extremely refined.

He was startled and immediately asked.

"Junior brother, you've reached the peak of the Golden Core Consummation Realm?"

"Not yet, but it won't be long." Azure Water True Person nodded slightly.
