Temporary Calm, Undercurrents Surge

After the leader of the Conservative Faction was subdued, the crisis triggered by the divergence in cultivation philosophies was temporarily resolved. The cultivators trapped in the valley were immensely grateful to Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan. They had personally witnessed the powerful might of the new martial arts in their desperate situation and deeply understood that the new cultivation philosophy was not without merit.

"Miss Chen and Brother Chen, if it weren't for you, we would all have perished here today. This new cultivation philosophy and new martial arts are truly formidable!" one cultivator exclaimed.

"Yes, we were short-sighted before. We shouldn't have blindly rejected new things," another former member of the Conservative Faction said, his face showing shame.

As these cultivators returned to their respective sects and tribes, the fame of the new cultivation philosophy and new martial arts spread rapidly. More and more people began to actively learn and try them, and the cultivation atmosphere in the Primordial World underwent a significant change. The Lingxi Tribe also became a place of admiration for many due to Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan, with countless cultivators coming daily to exchange knowledge and learn.

However, beneath the surface of peace, an undercurrent was quietly surging. Although the Conservative Faction suffered a setback in this conflict, they did not give up. In a hidden cave, the remnants of the Conservative Faction gathered, plotting a new scheme.

"Those two brats ruined our plans this time. We absolutely cannot let it go!" an elder with a wrinkled face gritted his teeth and said.

"Exactly, but their reputation has grown immensely now. A direct confrontation might be difficult to succeed," another tall and thin man analyzed with a frown.

At this moment, a black-robed man, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke, "We can make a long-term plan. First, we will secretly disrupt the spread of the new cultivation philosophy, create some chaos, and make people fear and doubt the new methods."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Thus, they began to stir up trouble in various corners of the Primordial World. In some places, spiritual energy in new cultivation sites became inexplicably chaotic, causing injuries to some cultivators. In others, rumors spread that the new martial arts were evil spells, misleading people.

Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan quickly noticed these anomalies. In the Lingxi Tribe's council hall, Chen Siyu said with a solemn expression, "It seems the Conservative Faction is unwilling to accept defeat and has started sabotaging us in secret. We must uncover their plot as soon as possible, otherwise the promotion of the new cultivation philosophy will be severely hindered."

Chen Ruixuan said angrily, "These people are detestable, resorting to such despicable tactics. Sister, what should we do?"

Chen Siyu pondered for a moment and then said, "We'll split into two groups. I will investigate the places with spiritual energy disturbances to see if I can find evidence of the Conservative Faction's meddling. Younger brother, you will be responsible for collecting the sources of the rumors and tracing them back to find the mastermind."

Chen Ruixuan nodded and said, "Alright, Sister, you must be careful too."

Afterward, the siblings each embarked on their investigative journeys. Chen Siyu arrived at a cultivation cave dwelling where spiritual energy was in chaos. The place was a mess, and the cultivators looked terrified. She carefully examined the spiritual energy traces in the cave dwelling and discovered some strange runes. These runes bore similarities to the evil formation runes she had seen in the valley before, but they were also different.

Meanwhile, while gathering information about the rumors, Chen Ruixuan discovered that all the rumors seemed to point to a mysterious organization. This organization operated in the shadows, its actions secretive, and few people knew their true identity.

Will Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan be able to uncover the Conservative Faction's new scheme and completely remove their obstruction to the spread of the new cultivation philosophy? And what role does this mysterious organization play in it all? The situation in the Primordial World is becoming increasingly complex, and a new battle is about to begin.
