Ling Yi and Zhang Yunya's meddling has left Lu Yun and the others with a mess.
They need to inspect and eliminate the Demonic Insect Demonic Insect, and also figure out how to appease the sect disciples. The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm will open tomorrow morning, and they need to prepare in advance.
Most importantly, how should they deal with Ling Yi and Zhang Yunya, the two senior and junior siblings?
Lu Yun ordered the deacons of each sect to take the disciples back to their respective places, and then led a group of elders back to the main hall of the main peak for a meeting.
On their way back to the menial disciples' quarters, Ye Cheng, Liu Shihai, and Lin Fan walked side by side.
The sect's higher-ups were in complete disarray, while the sect disciples, who had witnessed the entire spectacle, were utterly bewildered.
The main point is that the future is uncertain!
"I never expected Ling Yi to possess such strength, effortlessly controlling a group of high-ranking members of the Heaven and Earth Sect. I wonder what level he has reached." Ye Cheng was genuinely somewhat astonished.
It's like discovering that your roommate, with whom you've lived for years, is a billionaire.
Ye Cheng didn't know how he would face Ling Yi the next time he saw him.
"Senior Ling Yi probably has no interest in the Heaven and Earth Sect. If Elder Lu Ming and the others hadn't gone too far today, Senior Ling Yi probably wouldn't have intervened."
Liu Shihai's ability to investigate people and observe their behavior far surpasses that of Ye Cheng and the others. He can tell that Ling Yi truly doesn't care about the Heaven and Earth Sect.
"You're already calling me 'senior'?" Ye Cheng said speechlessly.
"What should I call you if not 'senior'?"
"That's true!"
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, those who have attained high levels are respected. As long as your cultivation is high, you are considered a senior brother or sister, or a senior.
On the contrary, the Heaven and Earth Sect's practice of only considering aptitude and not cultivation level is quite unconventional in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with Zhang Yunya becoming the sect leader!" Ye Cheng added.
"Look at what the sect leader and elders have done; they've brought shame to cultivators."
Lin Fan, standing nearby, said, "That's just how cultivators are. It's Strong Digestion, full of deceit and treachery. They'll stop at nothing for resources and cultivation techniques."
"From what I'm saying, you have a story to tell?"
Lin Fan shook his head and laughed, "Do you have any wine?"
"You have a story, and I'll naturally have fine wine for you!"
"Aren't you worried about what will happen to the Heaven and Earth Sect next? Aren't you worried about what we should do next?" Liu Shihai asked.
"Who cares? That's something the big shots should decide. We should just be good and be the Old Liu!" Ye Cheng shook his head.
"That's true. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
In Ling Yi's small courtyard, in the servant disciples' quarters.
Ling Yi and Zhang Yunya sat facing each other.
"Can you explain what I mean, senior brother?" Zhang Yunya emphasized the word "senior brother."
Ling Yi scratched his head, wondering how to fool his tool.
The Zhang Family patriarch must be the Protagonist of the story, but what kind of plot should we give this fictional patriarch?
Ling Yi mentally reviewed the online novels he had read in his previous life.
He coughed and said, "About a year and a half ago, I accidentally entered a secret realm. In the realm, I met my master, who is also the patriarch of your Zhang Family."
"Which ancestor is it?"
"My master's name is Zhang Yuchu!"
This person wasn't made up by Ling Yi; the Zhang Family really did produce such a powerful individual.
This is also the person Ling Yi found in the " Ten-Thousand-Year Calendar of the Immortal Cultivation Realm ".
At that time, there was no Jin Yun Nation yet; it was still a period of fragmentation and warring states.
The Zhang Family was just an insignificant little family.
Zhang Yuchu was just a Xiaoshao in a family who, by chance, accidentally entered the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm.
From the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm, I obtained an ancient inheritance, including Heaven Grade cultivation technique and spells, as well as an Eighth Pin Spirit Treasure.
Zhang Yuchu cultivated in the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm for fifty years.
After that, they became Big Shot at the Golden Core Stage.
It was Zhang Yuchu's sudden emergence that enabled the Zhang Family to rise rapidly, powerfully unify the surrounding small countries, and establish the Jin Yun Nation.
However, the fact that Zhang Yuchu obtained Heaven Grade cultivation technique in the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm became known to many cultivation sects.
Zhang Yuchu met a tragic end, relentlessly pursued by experts from various cultivation sects until he had nowhere to run, ultimately dying by Self-Destruct his Golden Core.
Yes, in the original Zhang Yuchu story, Zhang Yuchu died, and the inheritance he obtained in the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm naturally did not pass down.
However, in Ling Yi's version of Zhang Yuchu's story, Zhang Yuchu did not die. In fact, he entered the Five Elements Secret Realm by chance.
They obtained the ancient inheritance of the Five Elements Secret Realm, which is this Heaven Grade superior Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art.
See? This matches the Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art perfectly!
Does the Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art actually exist in the Five Elements Secret Realm?
Indeed, there is. Not only is there a complete version of the Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art, but there is also a very high probability that it can give birth to the Spirits of the Five Elements.
In Ling Yi's original plan, his next destination after leaving the Heaven and Earth Sect was the Five Elements Secret Realm.
"After leaving the Five Elements Secret Realm, Master was worried about being hunted down again, so he devoted himself to cultivation. Unfortunately, Master's aptitude was limited, and he was unable to Tribulation Transcendence."
"After reaching the Body Integration Realm, he directly underwent physical disintegration and cultivated into Loose Immortal. He is currently at the Seven-Tribulation Loose Immortal level."
"So, our ancestor was the founding ancestor of the Jin Yun Nation!"
"Where is our ancestor now?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "Master's condition is not good. Although Loose Immortal are powerful, they have to undergo a Loose Immortal Tribulation every thousand years. Master's lifespan is coming to an end, and it is difficult for him to survive the next Loose Immortal Tribulation."
"If he cannot overcome the Loose Immortal Tribulation, his soul will be scattered, and he will not even have the chance to be Reincarnation."
Before Zhang Yunya could ask, Ling Yi continued, "Fortunately, Master has found a solution!"
"As long as a person of Karmic Luck appears among the Zhang Family's descendants, Master can use a secret technique to borrow the Karmic Luck of that descendant and, with his memories intact, reincarnate and begin his cultivation anew."
"By chance, I met my master, and the first task he gave me was to find the person with Karmic Luck among the younger generation of the Zhang Family."
"Could it be me?" Zhang Yunya asked.
"Junior sister, now, you are the only one in the entire Zhang Family who has successfully entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Therefore, you are also the most likely person to have Karmic Luck."
"So, the one who delivered the things to me before wasn't the Ancestor, but you?"
"This is something my master asked me to give you. My master isn't doing too well right now; in order to delay the arrival of the Loose Immortal Tribulation, he has fallen into a state of suspended animation."
"When your Karmic Luck complete and you can give back to the Zhang Family, that will be the day your master is reincarnated and begins his cultivation anew."
"Where is the Ancestor now?" Zhang Yunya asked.
Ling Yi shook his head. "I don't know. The last time I saw my master was a year ago."
Zhang Yunya frowned. She was naive, but not stupid.
She believed Ling Yi's words to a large extent, but still had some doubts.
Ling Yi knew that Zhang Yunya didn't believe him completely, but he had already told her the story, and Zhang Yunya only needed to believe him to some extent.
He would never harm Zhang Yunya.
"How does Karmic Luck shape? How can it be considered formed?" Zhang Yunya asked.
"According to my master, the day you are able to influence the fate of the Immortal Cultivation Realm will be the day your Karmic Luck shape."
"How do you Immortal Cultivation Realm?"
"Strength, influence!"
"So, that's why you made me the sect leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect?" Zhang Yunya suddenly realized.
"Strength is not a problem. With your aptitude and the Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art given to you by your master, becoming a great power in the future is no problem."
"But in terms of power, I think the Heaven and Earth Sect is the best starting point."
"But I really don't know what to do!"
"Moreover, the Five Elements Yuan Transformation Art requires the Spirits of the Five Elements to enter the Spirits of the Five Elements Nascent Soul, and I don't even know where to find them."
"I'll figure something out. Once things settle down here at the Heaven and Earth Sect Heaven and Earth Sect, I'll leave and go find the Spirits of the Five Elements."
"But I don't want to be the sect leader!" Zhang Yunya had absolutely no interest in becoming the sect leader.
"If you don't become the sect leader, where will your power come from? Without power capable of changing the landscape of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, how can Karmic Luck shape?"
Zhang Yunya frowned, feeling like she was being forced into a situation.
"Don't worry, I'll help you."
"Senior brother!" Zhang Yunya stared at Ling Yi with her beautiful eyes, wanting to say something, but for a moment she didn't know how to start.
Ling Yi immediately understood Zhang Yunya's meaning.
"Junior sister, you can try to trust your senior brother. I can always be your support, even if it means going against the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm."
After saying this, Ling Yi paused for a moment, wondering why his words sounded somewhat off.
Why does this feel like a confession of love?
Pshaw, I'm not going to confess my feelings. This guy is just a tool to me, so naturally I have to Guard.
That's right, that's exactly it.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Zhang Yunya couldn't help Yanran.
In fact, what Zhang Yunya wanted was Ling Yi's attitude, or rather, a guarantee.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, from now on, Zhang Yunya will try to believe Ling Yi.
At this moment, Ling Yi asked again, "Junior Sister, I wonder why you traveled all the way from Jin Yun Nation to Muli Nation?"
Why not just join the Haotian Sect?
The Haotian Sect is located in the Jin Yun Nation, and in terms of sect strength, it is much stronger than the Heaven and Earth Sect.
It's really hard to understand why Zhang Yunya would travel all the way from Jin Yun Nation to the Heaven and Earth Sect in Muli Nation.
Hearing Ling Yi's question, Zhang Yunya whispered, "I snuck out!"
"Run away from home?" Ling Yi asked.
"Um!"
"You should know that my father is the Ninth Prince of Jin Yun Nation!"
Ling Yi nodded. He already knew this when he investigated Zhang Yunya, and it wasn't exactly a secret.
"Although my father is the Ninth Prince, he is not content with being the Ninth Prince."
Ling Yi instantly understood. "Your father wants to be emperor?"
"Um!"
"But now the Kingdom of Jin Yun Nation is peaceful and prosperous, and its people live in contentment. Father's ambition could very well lead to the devastation of the Jin Yun Nation."
"After learning about my father's ambitions, I had a huge argument with him, and then he put me under house arrest."
"Then I found an opportunity and sneaked out!"
"Then how did you end up at the Heaven and Earth Sect?"
"I didn't think much at the time, I just wanted to run as far away as possible, so I headed north and happened to run into my the Final Master. After detecting that I had a superior-grade mutated Ice Spiritual Root, my the Final Master brought me back to the sect!"
Yan Yun? So that's how Zhang Yunya got to the Heaven and Earth Sect!
"Where did you first meet Yan Yun?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
"Not far from Jin Yun Nation, at Dragon Ring Mountain, it seemed that my the Final Master was looking for something, but I didn't know exactly what he was looking for. He even took me to stay at Dragon Ring Mountain for two months."
What is Yan Yun doing at Dragon Ring Mountain Dragon Ring Mountain?
According to the " Ten-Thousand-Year Calendar of the Immortal Cultivation Realm," the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm is located in Dragon Ring Mountain.
