Ling Yi stood behind the two of them for a full half hour, listening to their entire conversation.
After that, no incident involving inappropriate Masai children occurred.
They weren't a couple, well, in the case of cultivators, they should be called Daoist partners.
The man was called Senior Brother Zheng, and the woman was called Junior Sister Yun, but their specific names were unknown.
Senior Brother Zheng is the second senior brother of Shuiyue Peak, Junior Sister Yun is the third junior sister of Shuiyue Peak.
The content of their conversation can be summarized into the following three points.
First, they need to find a way to disqualify Zhang Yunya from being a true disciple.
Zhang Yunya's sudden arrival at Shuiyue Peak and her direct appointment as a true disciple naturally displeased the five direct disciples of Shuiyue Peak.
Over the years, they have used every means imaginable, both overt and covert, to become their the Final Master's true disciples.
If someone like this suddenly appears out of nowhere, wouldn't all their efforts over the years have been for nothing?
Secondly, there is a huge difference between direct instruction and true instruction. Direct instruction always refers to a disciple, while true instruction refers to a candidate for sect leader.
What is a candidate sequence?
What If...? the sect leader were to suddenly pass away one day, then the first-order true disciple would immediately take over and become the next sect leader.
The premise is that the first-order true transmission can meet or achieve two conditions.
Condition one: You must reach the Golden Core Realm. Condition two: You must undergo the Heart-Tempering Formation and guarantee absolute sincerity towards the Heaven and Earth Sect.
If these two conditions are met, he will immediately become the sect leader.
If this is not achieved, the position of sect leader will be passed on to the next disciple in the lineage.
If none of the true disciples meet these two conditions, then the position of sect leader will be temporarily vacant.
This continues until a true disciple fulfills these two conditions.
As for why the peak master of Shuiyue Peak chose Zhang Yunya as his true disciple, no one knows.
Ling Yi had a rough idea of what was going on.
Thirdly, to become a true disciple, one's cultivation level must be below the Foundation Establishment Stage, because the sect's Heart-Tempering Formation will become ineffective above the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Eldest Senior Brother Guo Pengsheng, with a superior Water Spiritual Root, has been stuck at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, Great Perfection for nearly ten years.
The reason he didn't break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage was naturally because he wanted to become a true disciple.
He is also the one with the best chance of becoming a true disciple of Shuiyue Peak, after all, high-grade Water Spiritual Root are rare.
Zhang Yunya is only a high-grade Water Spiritual Root.
Yes, that's right. Within Shuiyue Peak, from Peak Master Yan Yun to the five personal disciples and one true disciple, all possess Water Spiritual Root.
Senior Brother Zheng has Second Pin Water Spiritual Root, and Junior Sister Yun has a mid-grade Water Spiritual Root.
Their qualifications are actually quite high.
However, after Zhang Yunya became a true disciple, the Eldest Senior Brother Guo Pengsheng seemed to have lost his ambition and chose to go into seclusion to try and break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Once they successfully Foundation Establishment, they will leave Shuiyue Peak and join the Heaven and Earth Sect's Field Operations Department.
From then on, there was no longer any qualification to pass on the true teachings.
In the eyes of Senior Brother Zheng and Junior Sister Yun, if Eldest Senior Brother lost the qualification to compete for the position of true disciple, then if Zhang Yunya died, wouldn't they regain the qualification to become true disciples?
The two of them were secretly meeting to discuss how to kill Zhang Yunya quietly without arousing their the Final Master's suspicion.
Therefore, the two set their sights on the Heaven and Earth Sect disciple competition two months later.
The Heaven and Earth Sect holds a grand disciple competition every year.
Just like the school sports meet in my previous life.
The nine peaks of the Heaven and Earth Sect are like the nine classes in a school, and the overall performance of each class determines the degree to which the Heaven and Earth Sect allocates resources.
Therefore, each summit will take it seriously.
Sometimes, in order to achieve victory, some peak masters or disciples would resort to underhanded tactics and dirty tricks.
However, deaths are permitted in sect competitions.
This is also the only opportunity within the Heaven and Earth Sect to openly and honestly kill someone.
To be honest, Ling Yi really couldn't understand what the sect leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect was thinking.
Each disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect is hard-won; isn't this just infighting?
Or is this grand competition simply a platform for disciples with conflicts to settle scores and settle scores?
I don't understand.
But none of that matters. What matters is that Zhang Yunya is in danger right now.
Zhang Yunya is only at the Qi Refining, Fifth Level of Qi Refining. If she were to Combat other true disciples, she would have absolutely no chance of winning.
He will most likely be killed in the ring.
The Heaven and Earth Sect appears harmonious on the surface, but in reality, it is rife with internal conflicts and intrigue.
The disciples have absolutely no sense of belonging to the sect.
For the sake of profit, they will stop at nothing.
They sabotage us behind the scenes, resort to dirty tricks and underhanded tactics.
If this is the case among disciples, then it's likely the same among peak masters.
In Ling Yi's view, this was a sign of the incompetence of the Heaven and Earth Sect's management.
Putting aside other things, the work on the C-brain of the sect's disciples was clearly not done well.
But as I said before, none of this has anything to do with Ling Yi. He's not the sect leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect, so worrying about this is just a waste of his time.
Other members of the Heaven and Earth Sect may live or die as they please, but their own tools must never be harmed.
Ling Yi quickly arrived at the summit of Shuiyue Peak.
They easily found Zhang Yunya's cave.
There are only two cave dwellings at the summit: one is the cave dwelling of the sect leader Yan Yun, and the other is the cave dwelling of the true disciple Zhang Yunya.
Judging from the size of the cave dwelling and the strength of the Formation, it's easy to determine which one is Zhang Yunya's cave dwelling.
With the combined divine skills of Spirit Concealment Art and Illusory Spirit Art, Ling Yi easily passed through the Formation and arrived inside Zhang Yunya's cave.
Zhang Yunya was cultivating at that moment.
Moreover, he was cultivating the Yuan Transformation Art, a Mystic Grade cultivation technique that Ling Yi obtained from Ye Cheng.
Ling Yi's Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art also comes from this Yuan Transformation Art, which offers a ten-thousand-fold return.
While the Yuan Transformation Art cannot compare to the Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art, it is still a very good auxiliary cultivation method.
It can accelerate the absorption rate of the elixir.
I must say, Zhang Yunya is really beautiful.
She had fair skin, a perfect figure, long, glossy black hair, and wore a long, blue dress.
That's her vibe, a bit aloof.
Yes, it's really cold.
He exuded a chilling aura; an ordinary person would likely be frozen solid upon getting close.
It turns out that Zhang Yunya not only has a top-grade water-type Spiritual Root, but also a mutated Ice-Element Spiritual Root.
Ling Yi squatted down in front of Zhang Yunya, muttering in confusion, "Although she's very beautiful and has extraordinary talent, that shouldn't be the reason the system is bound to Zhang Yunya, right?"
Could it be that, besides these things, Zhang Yunya has something special about her?
Just then, Zhang Yunya, who was cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes looked around in confusion.
After finding nothing, he closed his eyes again, but he couldn't enter a meditative state.
"Such keen Perception?" Ling Yi was also startled by Zhang Yunya's sudden opening of her eyes.
However, having met the person, the objective can be considered achieved.
Ling Yi then decided not to stay any longer.
After placing the storage bag next to Zhang Yunya, Ling Yi floated away like a ghost.
Zhang Yunya opened her eyes again long after Ling Yi had left.
Just now, she suddenly had the feeling that she was being spied on.
It was as if a pair of eyes were secretly watching him.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
The feeling of being spied on didn't disappear until Ling Yi left.
"Could it be my imagination?" Zhang Yunya frowned.
It shouldn't be a misperception; Zhang Yunya's Perception has always been different from that of ordinary people since childhood.
Before she began cultivating, she could clearly Perception the malice of others, which allowed her to escape many crises.
Only after she began cultivating did she realize that her soul was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.
It is at least ten times that of ordinary cultivators at the same level.
It is precisely because of her powerful spirit that her memory and comprehension far surpass those of others.
Take the Heaven and Earth Sect, the Entry cultivation method of the Heaven and Earth Art Sect, for example; it takes others about a month to comprehend it.
Zhang Yunya successfully grasped the essence that very evening and entered a state of cultivation.
Her enlightenment is practically a cheat code.
"Could it be my senior brothers and sisters, or even the Final Master were observing me just now?" Zhang Yunya frowned.
Zhang Yunya shook her head, thinking it probably wasn't her the Final Master and there was no need to.
If it's your the Final Master, you can check openly and honestly; there's no need to be so secretive.
If it wasn't my the Final Master, then it must have been one of my senior brothers and sisters.
This gave her a huge sense of crisis.
She had been at Shuiyue Peak for quite some time, and with her keen Perception and ability to discern good from evil, she naturally understood how her fellow disciples treated her.
Fortunately, when someone from his "hometown" came last time, they brought him three sets of Third Pin Formation flags.
The Third Pin array flags were able to block cultivators at the Golden Core Stage, which greatly increased her sense of security.
After Perception it again, I found that the feeling of being spied on had disappeared.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this Third Pin Formation that the opponent gave up!
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yunya was about to enter a meditative state when she looked down and saw the storage bag next to her.
Zhang Yunya jumped to her feet, looking around in terror.
This is absolutely terrifying! Someone actually managed to enter my cave without me even noticing.
If this person were to attack me, I probably wouldn't even know how I died.
"Who is it?" Zhang Yunya condensed a ball of Ice energy in her palm.
He scanned his surroundings warily.
But Ling Yi had already left, so naturally no one responded to her.
"Could it be the Final Master?" Zhang Yunya asked, puzzled.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yunya finally picked up the storage bag.
When Zhang Yunya saw what was inside, her face was filled with shock.
1000 High-Grade Spirit Stone —the value of that alone is immeasurable.
That's roughly equivalent to 15 million Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Furthermore, those 1000 Supreme Pin Qi Gathering Pill are more valuable than High-Grade Spirit Stone.
It's important to know that Supreme Pin Qi Gathering Pill are not easy to refine; the success rate is extremely low.
It's fair to say that it's available at a high price but not in demand.
She had once heard her father say that someone had auctioned off a Supreme Pin Qi Gathering Pill at the Myriad Treasures Tower in Jin Yun Nation for 500,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
This demonstrates the value of these 1000 Supreme Pin Qi Gathering Pill.
In addition, there were four jade slips.
Zhang Yunya guessed that this jade slip was most likely a cultivation technique.
The first jade slip contained the Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art, Heaven Grade cultivation method. Zhang Yunya gasped in astonishment.
Heaven Grade cultivation technique is extremely rare even in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm.
If we're only considering value, this one cultivation technique alone is probably worth several Heaven and Earth Sect, isn't it?
After he memorized the Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art, the jade slip also shattered into fragments.
This is clearly a case involving the surname Yu Jian.
Zhang Yunya immediately picked up the second jade slip: the Heaven Grade low-rank technique, Illusory Spirit Art!
The third jade slip contained the Heaven Grade, mid-level technique Spirit Concealment Art.
There was one last jade slip and one book.
The book contains One Thousand Questions on Immortal Cultivation.
How could it be this booklet? This thing only costs two Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Setting the booklet aside, Zhang Yunya picked up the last jade slip...
