The Sect's Ancestral Land Needs Fresh Blood

"You were able to live because Xuancheng gave the Sun Moon Divine Cult some face."

The Sun Moon Divine Cult Leader looked at the three of them and said, "If our cult did not possess an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, This Seat is certain that you would have had no chance of survival!"

"We are a Supreme Dao Holy Land. Even without an Emperor Weapon—"

The Sun Moon Divine Cult Leader pointed a finger.

Li Qingchang, who had been speaking, immediately collapsed to the ground. There was a hole between his brows, blood flowing from it, while his Spiritual Sense suffered severe damage.

"Cult Leader!"

"Please show mercy!"

Li Chunxiao and Li Qingping hurriedly begged for mercy.

Had the Sun Moon Divine Cult Leader struck even a little harder, Li Qingchang would already be dead!

"Hmph!"

"I can show mercy when you act foolishly within the cult—but what about outside it?"

The Sun Moon Divine Cult Leader's furious voice was like divine thunder from the Ninth Heaven, making the three men's minds buzz as they nearly lost consciousness.

"One day, if you run into someone who isn't afraid of death, then even if you tie the Ultimate Emperor Weapon around your waists like a belt, you'll still die!"

The Sun Moon Divine Cult Leader hated that iron could not become steel.

This father and his two sons were growing older, yet their intelligence was becoming more and more worrying.

They were so stupid that he wanted nothing more than to slap them to death.

"You do not understand what the Lin Dao Realm Ninth Layer signifies, but This Seat does!"

The Cult Leader said, "This matter ends here. Everyone will act as if it never happened! Send someone to investigate the destruction of Ghost Nether Mansion—just go through the motions. If anyone asks in the future, say that the Blood Demon Clan destroyed it."

"Our cult has leverage in Kaoshan Sect's hands. Though we need not care about it, now is not yet the time to completely tear apart all pretenses with Yaoguang Holy Land."

"If we can take a step back, then take one. Go along with them."

Li Chunxiao and Li Qingping stabilized Li Qingchang's Divine Infant and hurriedly said, "Yes, we will remember!"

The Sun Moon Divine Cult had a strict hierarchy.

Though the three were elders, and Li Chunxiao was even a Supreme Elder, they were still subordinates before the Cult Leader!

"Go receive your punishment. If you make a mistake, you should be severely punished."

The Cult Leader's tone was cold. "If you fail again next time, This Seat will definitely show no mercy!"

"Yes!"

"Go."

The three felt as though they had been granted a pardon. They immediately retreated, then accelerated as soon as they were farther away, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"With such fools around, I truly worry for the cult's future."

The Cult Leader rubbed his brow, thoroughly vexed.

They were over a thousand years old, yet they could not even see through such a minor matter and had to disturb him.

They were simply stupid beyond belief.

"Kaoshan Sect..."

The Cult Leader revealed a faint smile. A vision of the sun and moon unexpectedly rose behind him, incomparably eerie.

He was clearly standing there, yet seemed not to be within this space at all.

Two days later, amid the cheers of Kaoshan Sect's elders and disciples, True Lord Yuntian and the others returned in triumph!

After this battle, Kaoshan Sect had obtained vast quantities of resources, enough to nurture multiple top-tier geniuses over the next thousand years.

The Ancestral Land and Ancestral Tomb would certainly be able to welcome new members!

The five Peak Masters and the Sect Master gathered within Kaoshan Sect to discuss important matters.

True Lord Xiaxuan said, "Senior Brother Sect Master, this incident exposed quite a bit of our sect's strength. Within the sect..."

"You fear there may be spies from other sects?"

True Lord Yuntian smiled unconcernedly. "Kaoshan Old Ancestor considered that long ago. Rest assured, no spies can enter."

True Lord Gouyuan asked doubtfully, "Why?"

"Hehe, from the day our sect was founded, we established a special detection grand formation covering the entire sect. Any spy with impure intentions will be discovered the moment they enter our gates, without a single exception!"

"The Old Ancestor was thorough in his considerations and had long prepared a countermeasure."

"Our sect prefers to keep a low profile, so we must guard against everything with utmost vigilance. Unless absolutely necessary, we cannot casually reveal our hand."

True Lord Yuntian's face glowed with health.

In this battle, Kaoshan Sect had become rich in one stroke; saying they were swimming in riches would not be an exaggeration. He was exceptionally delighted.

With these resources, Kaoshan Sect's hidden strength would absolutely rise to another level!

True Lord Tianji snorted coldly. "We didn't even know about any of this. You've hidden yourselves deeply indeed!"

He was thoroughly displeased, resentment flashing in his eyes as though he wanted to punch everyone he looked at.

The others wisely ignored him, but True Lord Xiaxuan had not participated in the battle against the Blood Demon Clan and did not quite understand. She asked, "Senior Brother Tianji, what's wrong...?"

"Junior Sister!"

True Lord Tianji immediately fixed his reddened eyes on her. "Tell me honestly—how much have you been hiding?"

True Lord Xiaxuan froze. Was that something one could simply say?

She roughly understood why True Lord Tianji was so unhappy.

He must have lost face in the Blood Demon Clan campaign. Most likely, he had failed to outdo several of his senior brothers and had become upset over it.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Junior Sister hasn't hidden much. I only just broke through to the Sixth Layer."

Those words were as sweet as honey to his ears. True Lord Tianji's lips curled slightly as he gave a low snort. "I wasn't trying to compare myself to Junior Sister."

"Pfft..."

True Lord Gouyuan could barely hold it in anymore. This Old Fellow truly cared too much about saving face.

True Lord Wuji said nothing, while True Lord Dishén closed his eyes to rest, looking as though none of this had anything to do with him.

"Enough."

True Lord Yuntian said, "You needn't concern yourselves with the sect's trivial affairs. The Sect Master will have the Sect Master Canon for reference."

"It records the management experience and precautions of every Sect Master, from Old Ancestor Kaoshan to my generation. So there is no need to worry about safety."

Everyone nodded.

True Lord Yuntian continued, "This time, our sect has obtained countless resources, including Sacred Weapon Magic Tools. Later, I will draw up a distribution plan and allocate the resources to each peak."

"I hope that you junior brothers will break through to the Lin Dao Realm as soon as possible. The sect's Ancestral Land needs fresh blood."

Hearing this, True Lord Gouyuan's expression turned strange. "Sect Master, isn't this a little too early? I'm only a few hundred years old. If I suddenly pass away in meditation, no one would believe it."

True Lord Yuntian said, "You can die in an accident. I've already thought it through for you."

Everyone: "..."

"You may all leave. The resource allocations will be delivered to you shortly."

"Junior Brother Dishén, stay behind."

True Lord Gouyuan and the others cast True Lord Dishén strange looks before quietly departing.

Only True Lord Yuntian and True Lord Dishén remained to discuss important matters.

On Dao Origin Peak.

Ye Bufan was sparring with Mu Qiuxue.

One possessed the Primordial Sacred Body, the other the Incomplete Shadow Immortal Body. The clash between two special physiques was exceptionally spectacular.

The two fought back and forth, the battle fierce and intense.

Yet Ye Bufan was clearly holding the upper hand.

Mu Qiuxue was ostensibly at the Second Layer of the Core Formation Realm, but when facing Ye Bufan, who was at the First Layer of the Core Formation Realm, she could only rely on her cultivation advantage to withstand his attacks.

Fortunately, Ye Bufan had cultivated for too short a time and lacked experience. Only then could Mu Qiuxue barely hold him off with her cultivation being one layer higher.

"As expected of the Primordial Sacred Body. Qiuxue will find it difficult to be his match."

Hua Yunfei took a sip of tea, fairly satisfied with Ye Bufan's combat strength.

This was how a Primordial Sacred Body ought to be.

However, he had an even bolder idea.

Since he had already decided to make Ye Bufan his inheritor, the next Peak Master of Dao Origin Peak—

Then what he was doing now was not enough.

Hua Yunfei wanted Ye Bufan to become the strongest Sacred Body since ancient times!

To surpass the one who had compiled the Heavenly Emperor Scripture!

That was the small goal he had set for Ye Bufan.

"Bufan."

Hua Yunfei called Ye Bufan over and said, "You have been in the sect for several days now, and your performance has been excellent. It is time to pass on to you the sect's true core cultivation technique!"

"Thank you, Master!" Ye Bufan's face lit up with delight.

Hua Yunfei took out a small booklet and handed it to him. "This is the Unseen Breath Concealment Technique, a core cultivation technique of our sect. Cultivate it well."

"The Unseen Breath Concealment Technique?"

Ye Bufan looked puzzled. This seemed to be a concealment technique, didn't it?
