When her name was called, Feng Jingyu lazily rested her chin on her hand and glanced indifferently at the person who spoke.
Her demeanor was very casual, and her appearance was unremarkable, but her eyes carried an inexplicable pressure that made the person who was about to speak awkwardly shut up. After a few words, the group of people agreed to go away together.
Even from a distance, Feng Jingyu could still hear their whispered discussions.
"Tch... Stop pretending."
"She always pretends to be focused and serious, but in reality, she's just as talented and at the same level as us. I want to see if she can still be so indifferent after being misled by others."
"Exactly, she acts so aloof. Anyone who didn't know better would think she's some kind of pure, innocent lotus flower, tsk tsk..."
The sounds of their conversation faded into the distance.
Feng Jingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, looking in the direction of that group of people, her fingers twitching slightly.
A gust of wind followed and went.
Almost immediately, she heard the sounds of people and horses falling over and cries of pain and alarm from the other side.
She smiled slightly, but quickly regained her composure, resting her chin on her hand as she gazed out the window at the blue lotus, her mind unexpectedly recalling the conversation these people had been having about Lin Xuan.
This deputy Peak Master is only at the Saint Realm level.
She's even worse off than in her previous life.
However, she did not approve of the discussions among these disciples.
During this period, in addition to preaching at Ximu Peak, this Deputy Peak Master Lin would also preach at Purple Cloud Peak of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
Purple Cloud Peak is neither the main peak nor a secondary peak.
It is located outside the Twelve Peaks and is an extremely important peak. Here, the only thing that can be done is preaching and lecturing, and countless disciples can go to listen to the lectures.
Every month, the elders of the various peaks would gather at Purple Cloud Peak to discuss the Dharma and impart various mysteries of cultivation. When they got excited, strange phenomena in the heavens and earth would often occur.
Unlike the individual peaks where lessons are taught systematically from the very basics, this approach is different.
Within Purple Cloud Peak, people can speak freely. The elders may not necessarily tell you anything specific, but what they impart are all quite profound. If you can comprehend them, you can immediately make a small advancement in your cultivation level.
It can be said that how much one can comprehend from listening to Purple Cloud Peak's sermons depends entirely on one's own comprehension.
Many people flocked to it.
This is a big deal.
Basically, every month, apart from those who are in seclusion, the Direct Disciple and even the True Disciple from each peak will put down what they are doing and go to Purple Cloud Peak to listen attentively.
These disciples felt that Lin Xuan's lectures were very superficial and had no merit compared to those of Purple Cloud Peak. They gossiped behind his back, but Feng Jingyu did not agree with them.
They felt that Lin Xuan's abilities were limited and that their days were difficult. Little did they know that it was precisely because Lin Xuan felt that their abilities were limited that he started from the very basics, making sure that each disciple had a solid foundation.
If you could calm down and listen carefully to every sentence he uttered from the very beginning, you would never come to the conclusion that his lecture was superficial.
Inside the disciples' hall of Ximu Peak, besides Feng Jingyu, there are still quite a few people who haven't left.
They were either sitting there organizing their things, reflecting on their insights, or too lazy to get up, waiting for the next elder to arrive in half an hour.
Many of these people are serious practitioners.
From beginning to end, they never echoed those who were gossiping.
after all...
After encountering problems in their cultivation, they sought advice privately but found no one to turn to. By chance, they bumped into Lin Xuan, mustered their courage to ask for his guidance, and received detailed instructions and answers. They felt incredibly refreshed and invigorated. They didn't just understand things instantly, but they were enlightened and mastered several key points.
This Deputy Peak Master Lin... is nothing like what others say, someone who only teaches superficial things.
The more they interacted with him, the more they realized that the deputy Peak Master was truly unfathomable.
Feng Jingyu thought roughly the same thing.
Of course, she didn't find Lin Xuan unfathomable.
I just felt that Lin Xuan was indeed quite good.
It's explained in a simple way, but it also goes back to basics and the Great Dao are the simplest.
but...
It's nothing special.
Lin Xuan is merely at the Saint Realm.
Even if they have some strength and trump cards, at most, they are only at the Late Saint Realm.
For her, there was little difference between the Saint Realm and the Late Saint Realm. It didn't matter where she went in the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect. The fact that the Peak Master's realm was low was actually a good thing, as it would give her more peace and quiet and make her safer.
There are still Great Saint on the other peaks, and with my current strength, it might be difficult to hide myself.
She calmly withdrew her gaze, which fell on her slender, delicate fingers, and gently exhaled.
Perfect Reincarnation, reborn as a human, with all past events gone.
Ten thousand years have passed since then, which is far too long.
She died at less than a hundred years old.
Before she turned fifteen, she had never been exposed to cultivation. She spent her days by her mentally unstable mother's side. As the least favored princess in the cold palace, she was powerless and unable to control her own destiny.
At fifteen, the city fell. His father, who had been obsessed with immortality and cultivation but had never found the way, finally angered a female immortal. On his deathbed, he finally met the immortal he had sought his whole life.
Then, both body and soul perished.
Along with him, all the princesses and princes in the palace who were related to him by blood were also killed.
It vanished into the world.
This was the fate she was meant to have.
However, her mother, who was mentally unstable and needed to be fed, suddenly regained her senses, picked up her sword, and stood in front of her.
With One Sword, he protected Zhou Quan.
It was another One Sword; the mother's already gray hair turned completely white.
She sacrificed all her life force to send herself away from that mortal realm.
At fifteen, she lost her mortal father, her title as a mortal princess, and her crazy but loving mother. She gained her freedom and came to the realm of cultivators.
Fifteen years.
She rose from a mortal princess of a fallen kingdom to a powerful figure in the Late Saint Realm. She slew the female immortal who had killed her mother, resolved several personal grudges, established a sect, became its leader, and in the final demonic chaos, she single-handedly protected the entire sect before sacrificing herself.
I thought everything had vanished like smoke.
But when she opened her eyes again, tens of thousands of years had passed. She had been given the chance for Perfect Reincarnation, and everything from the past had vanished into thin air...
I'm all alone now.
Feng Jingyu's eyelashes trembled.
She curled her fingers, took a deep breath, and shook all the past memories out of her mind.
Her name is Feng Jingyu.
This name was given to her by her mother.
One day, she will surely fulfill her mother's wish, Heaven-Shocking, and become a phoenix feather falling from the phoenix tree.
She was not originally from the Heaven-Gazing Domain.
The reason she went to great lengths and endured so much hardship to get here was because she knew that a Heaven-Gazing Secret Realm was about to open within this Heaven-Gazing Domain.
The Heaven-Gazing Secret Realm...
Feng Jingyu slowly closed her eyes, then opened them again, her gaze clear and resolute.
She absolutely had to go.
The Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect has a quota for entering the Heaven-Gazing Secret Realm, and that's why she came.
To the Heaven-Gazing Secret Realm.
