The sect leader and the elders naturally noticed Ling Yi's situation.
However, because they were far away from Ling Yi, they were not affected by his aura, so their hearts and eyes were still full of Lin Wanwan.
Seeing how deserted Lin Wanwan's surroundings had become.
They felt very sorry for her, and even more so, they believed that Lin Wanwan was being isolated and bullied by her fellow disciples.
After the sect competition ended, the sect leader waved his sleeve, snorted coldly, and took Lin Wanwan away.
My precious disciple, you all don't cherish him, but I, the sect master, will personally dote on him.
The other elders followed suit.
Seeing this, Ling Yi gasped in shock. This Lin Wanwan was terrifyingly powerful!
Su Chen and the others, however, all had solemn expressions.
"This Lin Wanwan is truly terrifying; she can even Charm a sect leader at the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm and an elder at the Void Refinement Realm," Su Chen said in a deep voice.
" Eldest Senior Brother, what should we do now?" someone asked.
Everyone looked at Ling Yi.
After a moment's thought, Ling Yi said, "Follow me and leave the sect first. Let's see if we can break free from this woman's control."
"Good idea." Su Chen nodded.
"Then Lin Wanwan's Charm must be limited. As long as we leave the sect and stay away from this woman, we might be able to break free from her control."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright!" Ling Yi didn't waste any words and immediately took off on his Sword Control.
The others also ascended into the air on their Sword Control.
Ling Yi did not leave immediately, but instead looked in Chu Qing's direction.
Voice Transmission, "Junior sister, why don't we go together?"
Chu Qing hesitated for a moment, then followed on her Sword Control.
With such a drastic Changes in the plot, the problem clearly lies with this Eldest Senior Brother.
She was also very curious about what had happened to this Eldest Senior Brother. Was it the same thing that had happened to her?
Seeing Chu Qing follow, Ling Yi smiled slightly, then flew off on his Sword Control towards the outside of the sect.
The sight of more than two thousand people Sword Control Flight simultaneously is quite breathtaking.
That's what makes it feel a bit like cultivating immortality.
Just then, another streak of light flew over the crowd from not far away and appeared beside Ling Yi.
It was the same elder who had presided over the meeting.
" Ling Yi, you brat, take this old man with you."
The presiding elder, named Yang Yao, was originally an elder in the Law Enforcement Hall. He was righteous and fair in his actions.
He also presided over all previous sect competitions.
This time was no exception.
Because they were also within the range of Ling Yi's Anti-Intelligence-Lowering Aura, they were able to break free from Lin Wanwan's mental control.
Naturally, he also saw everything Ling Yi and the others did.
"Welcome Elder Yang to the team," Ling Yi said with a smile.
Yang Yao said helplessly, "I don't want to fall behind you and be controlled by that demoness again."
Just thinking about the sect leader and the other elders made Yang Yao feel a chill run down his spine.
"Let's leave first," Ling Yi said.
That would be perfect.
After Ling Yi and the others left, only two or three cats of different sizes remained at the scene, looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
Only after Ling Yi and the others had left the Ethereal Sect's territory by a thousand miles did the feeling of being controlled in body and mind disappear from their minds.
"What kind of being is this enchantress? Her Charm can reach a thousand miles!" Yang Yao said in disbelief.
"They shouldn't be from the Demonic Sect; they must have awakened some terrifying talent," Su Chen said.
"That's true. If she were from the Demonic Sect, someone with such abilities would never have sent her to our the Ethereal Sect. They would probably have kept her hidden and secretly nurtured her."
"She must be eliminated as soon as possible!" Yang Yao said coldly, "Otherwise, this demoness will surely become a disaster for the Immortal Cultivation Realm."
Everyone nodded.
" Ling Yi, what are your plans?"
"I need to find a secluded place to study this talent first."
Ling Yi still doesn't know whether this is the original owner's talent or a hidden ability brought by the system.
But no matter what, it's definitely the right thing to improve our strength first.
Ling Yi and the others landed in a valley.
Ling Yi ignored what the others were doing and sat down cross-legged on the ground.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, Ling Yi's aura suddenly surged twice.
From the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, after a few seconds of pause, his aura suddenly surged more than tenfold.
He has entered the Golden Core Realm.
"Elder Yang, could it be that Eldest Senior Brother has broken through to the Golden Core Realm?" Su Chen asked in a low voice.
Elder Yang Yao nodded at first, but then shook his head.
"Judging from his Aura, he has indeed broken through to the Golden Core Realm. However, in all my years of life, I have never seen such a breakthrough!"
Just then, the clear blue sky and white clouds suddenly darkened, and a thick, dark cloud appeared out of nowhere.
Purple Lightning flashed between the clouds, and an immense divine might descended from the sky, enveloping the scene.
"Not good, it's the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation! Everyone, retreat immediately!" Elder Yang Yao shouted.
Upon hearing Elder Yang's words, those who reacted quickly immediately flew backward.
Those who reacted slowly were led back quickly by Elder Yang.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yi was the only one left in the entire valley.
Ling Yi also Perception the threat in the sky and looked up. "Holy crap, is this the Lightning Tribulation? It looks like it has some pretty impressive special effects!"
"It's just Xiaoxiao Lightning Tribulation. Use the Invincibility Card."
The Invincibility Card was one of the rewards for saving Cannon Fodder Points during the previous sect competition.
There are three cards in total, each lasting 5 minutes.
As the Invincibility Card was activated, a bolt of purple Lightning descended from the sky and struck Ling Yi directly.
Those from the Ethereal Sect who witnessed this scene from afar shuddered.
"Elder Yang, this, Eldest Senior Brother's Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, right? Why does it feel so much more powerful than the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation we've seen before?" Qin Yan asked, his voice trembling.
Elder Yang swallowed hard. "This is nothing like the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation! Even the Spirit Transformation Lightning Tribulation isn't this terrifying."
In this world, cultivators are divided into nine realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Void Refinement, Spirit Transformation, Dao Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, Ascension.
To achieve Ascension Realm, cultivators need to undergo three Lightning Tribulation.
One Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, one Spirit Transformation Lightning Tribulation, and one Tribulation Transcendence Lightning Tribulation.
Of the three Lightning Tribulation, the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation is the easiest to overcome, Spirit Transformation Lightning Tribulation is generally not difficult either. Only the final Tribulation Transcendence Lightning Tribulation is more challenging.
But as long as you are well prepared and have a solid foundation, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Seriously speaking, for cultivators in this world, Tribulation Transcendence Tribulation Transcendence is much easier than in other online novels.
The success rate is over 80%.
Logically speaking, it should have been a simple matter for Ling Yi to Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, but who could have imagined that this Lightning Tribulation would disregard martial ethics, or rather, that the Heavenly Dao would disregard martial ethics!
Let him undergo the Spirit Transformation Lightning Tribulation Golden Core Stage!
"But why is this happening? Doesn't that mean our Eldest Senior Brother is doomed?" Human Dao.
"There's a saying that 'the heavens are jealous of talent.' It's pretty much certain that Ling Yi possesses great talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation," Elder Yang said, frowning.
"Look, Eldest Senior Brother is alright!" Luo Jingyuan exclaimed with delight, pointing to Ling Yi in the valley.
Ling Yi was naturally fine. With the Invincibility Card, he was unaffected by even the tribulation Spirit Transformation Lightning Tribulation Transcendence Lightning Tribulation.
Feifan is fine; the pure energy left behind by the Lightning Tribulation is still frantically strengthening Ling Yi's body.
When the nine Spirit Transformation Lightning Tribulation struck down, Ling Yi's body, having been strengthened to the point of glowing like a light bulb, was already Light Emission.
Within Ling Yi's body, a five-colored Golden Core appeared, and he successfully stepped into the Golden Core Realm.
At the same time, a new piece of information appeared in Ling Yi's mind—information about the Anti-Intelligence-Lowering Aura.
Now that Ling Yi has already noticed the Anti-Intelligence-Lowering Aura, there's no need to hide it anymore.
Before reaching the Golden Core Realm, Ling Yi's aura ranged only one thousand meters, but after reaching the Golden Core Realm, the radius of Ling Yi's aura reached one hundred thousand meters, or one hundred kilometers.
One hundred kilometers is enough to cover the entire the Ethereal Sect.
