Because the martial arts contest for marriage is a big event, it may involve a power struggle between the top leaders of several major forces, so it must be handled with caution. Of course, the champion may not care.
If Lin Ye were to be housed under the powerful force controlled by another female cultivator, this martial arts contest to find a husband might be difficult to arrange.
Lin Ye was determined to pit the two groups against each other in this matter.
The powerful female cultivator in charge of organizing the event didn't think so. Her face turned green upon hearing this: You want to find a backer? Why don't you just come to me!
However, going so far as to arrange a marriage between two groups would have a world of difference in effect compared to Lin Ye's plan to have the two groups destroy each other.
Lin Ye was determined to take advantage of the situation and seize the initiative, at least to prevent it from falling into a dangerous state where everyone was vying for power.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has a loose structure with no formal hierarchical relationship. The leader is not even considered the alliance master, but simply the strongest member.
Moreover, the leader is about to ascend to heaven and has no more obsessions.
Using her valuable space to conduct business is probably the safest option.
After Lin Ye left, a spirit spoke with the leader in his mind:
"Your Myriad Immortals Alliance is having a meeting of Mahayana cultivators, aren't you bringing him along?"
"He is at the Nascent Soul stage, and he has something to do."
"Oh? But he killed two Mahayana cultivators. His trip might cause quite a stir."
The leader nodded: "Good."
......
In the darkness of night, a large branch of the Hehuan Sect was hidden in the valley, where the fragrance of flowers and perfumes mingled, making it even more mysterious and unpredictable.
In the dim light, the monks were either graceful or gentle, their eyes filled with both curiosity and amusement, as if everyone who passed by was a potential prey. But many more were trembling, thin and weak.
Lin Ye gazed at the prosperous mountain gate from afar, while the Hehuan Sect cultivators, seeing the shimmering light on the horizon, thought it was dawn.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye's figure plummeted into the valley like a shooting star, his arrival causing quite a commotion.
The radiant glow of the Daoist Ranking made Lin Ye's identity self-evident.
"Supreme Elder, Lin Ye has attacked!"
"what?"
The Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect was taken aback upon hearing this, but then activated the mountain-protecting formation with full confidence.
He is a Mahayana cultivator, and he is also supported by a great formation. What right does a Nascent Soul cultivator have to provoke him, especially since he doesn't even bother to register his name on the Dao Child Ranking?
Not even close!
You must understand that the gap between the two realms is like an insurmountable chasm. No matter how arrogant you are, what can you do?
If you dare to come, I dare to kill you!
The young cultivators scattered and fled upon seeing this, lest they be caught in the crossfire. Lin Ye showed no mercy, and a small tree shimmering with light appeared in his palm—it was the Nine-Turn Wonder Tree!
"Sweetie, go!"
With a thought, Lin Ye unleashed the five-colored spiritual light from the Nine-Turn Mystic Tree. A thick and dense beam of light streaked across the sky, and colorful divine rays cascaded down, instantly crashing into the mountain-protecting array. A deafening roar was heard, and the terrifying power caused the mountains and rivers to tremble.
"Lin Ye, do you think you're invincible?!"
The Supreme Elder roared and activated the great formation with all his might, intending to strangle Lin Ye.
There was a roar.
Within a single breath of contact with the spiritual light, the mountain-protecting array shattered with a deafening roar, scattering into dust and debris. In the valley, cries of alarm rose from the cultivators.
The light from the Nine-Turn Mystic Tree struck the Supreme Elder precisely, destroying all his magical artifacts and turning their light gray.
The Supreme Elder was stunned for a moment before he reacted, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.
A look of surprise flashed in Lin Ye's eyes.
This mountain-protecting formation?
crisp!
It actually only has the strength of a fifth-grade formation, but it looks like a sixth-grade formation from the outside.
The materials used were grade six... that's a bit wasteful!
As Lin Ye pondered, he moved like lightning and had already brought the Supreme Elder close by. The Supreme Elder felt a fatal tremor in his heart.
The battle erupted in an instant. The Supreme Elder quickly used an illusion technique to conjure up a series of illusory figures. Each of these figures released a powerful aura, with their strength at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and they surrounded and attacked!
Lin Ye unleashed his fist intent, accompanied by surging dragon-shaped blood energy, and with one punch shattered all the illusory figures, turning them into mist and dissipating!
"you!"
The Supreme Elder's shock gradually turned into horror. He had never seen such a terrifying Nascent Soul stage cultivator, nor had he ever imagined it.
He turned and fled into the distance, transforming into a streak of light.
I'll run, okay... At the speed he came at, he can't catch me!
In the end, he's still at the Nascent Soul stage!
Lin Ye immediately transformed.
A few breaths later, the Supreme Elder looked at the golden roc blocking his way, his face deathly pale.
Why is it that the fastest flying demon is Wu Yiqi, Qi Liu, or Qi Liu?
The Supreme Elder looked at Lin Ye, whose gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
"Don't kill me, or my lover will kill you... They will take revenge on the Golden-Winged Roc Clan!"
"die!"
Lin Ye didn't waste any words with him. With a flap of his dazzling golden wings, the Mahayana cultivator's indestructible body instantly turned into a bloody mist, like a rotten watermelon!
"what!!!"
With a piercing howl, the Supreme Elder's departed spirit fled into the sky.
Lin Ye flicked out a spark, instantly incinerating the Mahayana cultivator's resilient soul!
Lin Ye collected the fertilizer and clapped his hands.
Old Deng sent several Nascent Soul stage cultivators to capture him, and retribution came immediately.
Lin Ye looked down and saw that inside the broken mountain gate, amidst chaos and terror, the Hehuan Sect cultivators were staring in horror at the golden figure in the sky.
The cultivators of the Hehuan Sect trembled.
This is absolutely not the destructive power that a Nascent Soul stage cultivator should possess. It's a monster!
This branch has a large number of cultivators and occupies a huge area, much larger than the Hehuan Sect in Lin Ye's memory.
Lin Ye knew that this was due to the historical context. The flow of Yin and Yang was an instinct for cultivators. As long as both parties had similar cultivation levels, the most basic dual cultivation did not need to be learned.
In this era, cultivation methods were scarce, and the most basic dual cultivation became a natural practice, which enabled the Hehuan Sect to expand its influence.
It's a pity their background is so weak; otherwise, with the Hehuan Sect's distribution area, if a great leader were to emerge, they could consider conquering the entire Yaoguang Continent.
In fact, most of the Hehuan Sect cultivators at this time could not be called demonic sects. Firstly, they had not yet armed themselves with those evil secret techniques, and secondly, many of them were forced into cultivation or were captured.
Of course, they still have a headquarters, which inherits the evil techniques passed down from ancient times, controlling everything from outside the sight of the world.
This exceptionally large stronghold of the Hehuan Sect was mostly populated by male prostitutes who used their bodies to serve female cultivators. However, they were not selling their bodies, but rather serving female cultivators and were forced to engage in dual cultivation every day in exchange for a meager living space.
Lin Ye recalled that he had also been targeted in the past, and felt a pang of sympathy.
The world's industries are too backward.
'With so many people, wouldn't it be perfect to convert them all into factories?'
Go ahead!
With a light tap of his finger, Lin Ye unleashed rays of light, thin as silk yet containing boundless power, which landed precisely on everyone present.
These rays of light quickly transformed into delicate red patterns, imprinting themselves on the backs of their hands.
Immediately afterwards, a sudden realization dawned on him, and a set of techniques called "Mirror of Still Water" flowed into his mind.
Unconsciously, as they began to practice this technique, the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect felt a cool breeze rising from within their bodies, and the restless minds and bodies cultivated in this environment gradually calmed down.
Lin Ye: "Huang Zhou, you make the arrangements. Why not let them earn their freedom and dignity through labor?"
Huang Zhou: [Understood. I will prepare to launch a labor reform program within the Hehuan Sect and throughout the entire cultivation world.]
Lin Ye said, "Hide this valley and use the Hehuan Sect as a target."
Araju: [Yes!]
In this era, the Hehuan Sect was full of people with many eyes and ears, making it difficult to verify their identities.
If Lin Ye wants to spread the Dharma throughout the world, develop new industries of immortal cultivation and arts, etc., it would be a good opportunity to draw hatred to the Hehuan Sect and also to find a good time to expose their hidden headquarters.
Moreover, his dynasty could absorb these people.
"That Immortal Lin is a great benefactor... no, a saint!"
The cultivators of the Hehuan Sect circulated their cultivation techniques, and the fear on their faces gradually dissipated, replaced by hope for the future.
......
The news quickly reached the Myriad Immortals Alliance.
The three Mahayana cultivators from the Myriad Immortals Alliance who were in the middle of a meeting were taken aback and then looked at each other in bewilderment.
Shattering the mountain-protecting formation with a single blow, and killing a Mahayana cultivator with his bare body? What...is this thing?
No wonder he was the first to be listed on the Daoist Ranking during the Nascent Soul stage!
We must ask, if it wasn't him, who else could it be? How could someone kill a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Mahayana stage in just a few breaths!
And the fact that he was killed by being slapped indicates that he was a body cultivator...
How could it be a body cultivator?
"Isn't the path to body tempering cut off at the Nascent Soul stage?!"
"yes..."
The three Mahayana cultivators from the Myriad Immortals Alliance couldn't help but mutter to themselves. Then, after glancing at their leader, they quickly composed themselves and returned to the main topic.
The leader has already transcended the third level of tribulation and will ascend to the upper realm soon.
The three Mahayana practitioners invited the leader here today precisely to discuss matters concerning the next leader!
Unsurprisingly, the leader had no objection to this.
Now there's another Lin Ye...
Since he can kill a Mahayana cultivator, can't he also compete for the top spot?
The three Mahayana cultivators remained silent for a moment, a sense of unease rising in their hearts. One of them said, "Leader, Lin Ye has only been in the Myriad Immortals Alliance for a month. Although he is not a Mahayana cultivator, he possesses the abilities of a Mahayana cultivator."
"Furthermore, he is shrouded in controversy. If he were to participate in the next leadership race, it would involve too much trouble."
Another person clasped his hands and said, "Yes, what should we do? Please give us your guidance, leader!"
But none of these things can force the leader to make a statement.
She remained calm and said indifferently, "The Myriad Immortals Alliance has never had an alliance leader. I am only honored as the leader because of my highest cultivation level."
"You shouldn't have asked me about this."
The leader paused briefly, his gaze returning to the tea on the table, thinking that today's tea was truly bland and tasteless.
She waved her sleeve: "Why fight over mundane matters?"
"I am leaving."
Immediately afterward, the leader stood up and left the meeting.
The three Mahayana practitioners looked at each other, feeling a chill run down their spines.
Why fight over worldly matters?
That's a statement...
The leader is targeting us!
They've already reached the Mahayana stage, not far from ascension, so why bother with all this fuss?
The leader may seem to have no objection, but he has actually expressed his opinion!
