“It’s good that you understand.”
Seeing Lin Zisheng like this, the Grand Elder stroked his beard with satisfaction, thinking, 'This child is teachable.'
Just like that, a few peaceful days passed in a blink of an eye.
“The third level of Tiger's Roar in the Mountains and Forests is finally mastered.”
Ye Lin was full of excitement as he watched a human-sized boulder in front of him shatter with a single punch. After cultivating day and night, he had finally mastered the third level.
“Now, even if I encounter someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase, with the blessing of Phoenix Fire and the power of the Dao Platform, I can kill them with one punch.”
“Oh, right, tomorrow seems to be the opening day of that so-called Dragon Abyss Cave.”
At this moment, Ye Lin seemed to remember something and hurriedly walked towards his dwelling.
Sure enough, Chu Xue was already standing at the entrance of his residence.
“Master.”
At this, Ye Lin stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
“Yes, tomorrow is the opening day of the Dragon Abyss Cave. We need to depart now. Are you ready?”
Chu Xue turned to Ye Lin and said.
“I am ready.”
“Good, if that’s the case, then let’s gather at the Sect Hall.”
After speaking, Chu Xue flew towards the Inner Sect Hall, with Ye Lin following closely behind.
Inside the Inner Sect Hall, it was already filled with people, and the nine Elders of the Qingyun Sect’s Inner Sect had all arrived. At the very top, the Sect Master had a solemn expression.
At this moment, Ye Lin slowly walked in with Chu Xue.
“Alright, now that the ten Elders and six direct Disciples of my Qingyun Sect have gathered, everyone knows what day tomorrow is, so I won’t waste any more words.”
“On the surface, my Qingyun Sect appears to be the controller of this ten-thousand-li radius, but in reality, other forces have already begun to gradually break free from our control, especially with this struggle for the Dragon Abyss Cave.”
“This represents the first clash between our major forces, and the protagonists of this encounter are you six direct Disciples. I hope that once you enter the Dragon Abyss Cave, you can help each other.”
“If we lose this hidden competition, the prestige of my Qingyun Sect will greatly diminish. Do you understand?”
After the Sect Master’s speech from above, the six direct Disciples, including Ye Lin, bowed to the Sect Master.
“Please rest assured, Sect Master, we will definitely showcase the might of our Qingyun Sect this time.”
“Very good.”
Seeing the six direct Disciples respond in such a manner, the Sect Master nodded with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Chu Xue remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
“Once inside the Dragon Abyss Cave, kill when necessary; there’s no need to hold back.”
At this, a murderous glint flashed in the Sect Master’s eyes.
“Since that’s the case, let’s depart. Elder Chu will lead this expedition. At that time, everything will be according to Elder Chu’s arrangements.”
The Sect Master waved his hand, then walked out of the Sect Hall with his hands behind his back.
“Then let us depart.”
Watching the Sect Master disappear, Chu Xue said softly, then led the six direct Disciples away on their swords.
“Junior Brother Ye, we meet again.”
At this, Shi Jian nodded to Ye Lin.
“Senior Brother Shi.”
Ye Lin also nodded in return.
“This time, we should fight side by side and jointly resist the Disciples of other Sects.”
While listening to Shi Jian speak, Ye Lin turned his head to look at Lin Zisheng, who was silent beside him. Immediately, a transparent panel appeared before his eyes.
Name: Lin Zisheng
Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Middle Stage
Fate: Purple (Incomplete)
Destiny: 【Good Luck】 【Sword Dao Leader】 【Divine Comprehension】 【Son of Heaven's Favor】 【Reincarnation of a Mighty Figure】
Fate: Stops at Dao Platform Peak, struck dead by heavenly lightning and his Divine Soul dissipated when attempting to Breakthrough to Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
Recent Opportunity 1: After entering the Dragon Abyss Cave, in the most conspicuous Pill Furnace within the Pill Room, three Xuan Grade Low-Rank Medicinal Pills, Huiyuan Pills, were discovered.
Recent Opportunity 2: After entering the Dragon Abyss Cave, in a small drawer beneath the most conspicuous workbench in the Pill Room, one Profound Rank Middle Grade Medicinal Pill, Sheng Yuan Pill, was discovered.
Recent Opportunity 3: After entering the Dragon Abyss Cave, in a side hall within the Artifact Refining Room, a piece of Profound Rank Middle Grade Black Gold was discovered under the bed.
Looking at Lin Zisheng’s panel, Ye Lin’s eyes flickered.
“This Dragon Abyss Cave, could it be a ruin? With a Pill Room and an Artifact Refining Room appearing, the probability is high.”
Ye Lin stroked his chin in thought. According to what Sun Xiao said, this Dragon Abyss Cave used to be the territory of a colossal force with a Nascent Soul Stage mighty figure presiding over it.
However, it was inexplicably annihilated later, leaving behind only this Dragon Abyss Cave. With this deduction, the Dragon Abyss Cave should be the ruin of that Nascent Soul Stage colossal force.
After three hours of travel, everyone finally arrived at their destination. Before them was a massive cavern a hundred meters wide. In the center of the cavern was a huge opening, covered by a thin, blue energy shield.
The area around the cavern was already packed with people. Those who came this time were not only Disciples from various major forces but also Loose Cultivators.
The Dragon Abyss Cave was an incredibly precious place, coveted even by Loose Cultivators.
Everyone followed Chu Xue and landed in an open space.
“Alright, let’s wait here quietly. Tomorrow is the opening day of the Dragon Abyss Cave.”
Chu Xue said softly.
Before they could even stand firm, from a distance, a white-bearded old man holding a whisk walked over with a smile.
“Elder Chu Xue, it’s been many years, and you’ve become even more beautiful.”
The white-bearded old man looked at Chu Xue and said with a smile.
“Senior Brother, who is this person?”
At this, Ye Lin quietly asked Shi Jian beside him.
Shi Jian, however, had a serious expression and said.
“This fellow is the Grand Elder of the Saint King Sect, Zhang Wushuang, an existence who has taken half a step into the Golden Core Stage.”
“If you dare to look at me with those lecherous eyes again, believe it or not, I’ll gouge them out.”
At this, Chu Xue snorted coldly.
“Your temper is still the same, but come, let me see my Disciple, how is he?”
At this, Zhang Wushuang beckoned, and a resolute-faced man emanating the aura of a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator emerged from behind him.
“Elder Chu.”
Liu Neng nodded faintly towards Chu Xue, his expression extremely indifferent.
“I heard that Elder Chu has also taken on a new Disciple. I wonder where he is? Come out and let me see.”
At this, Zhang Wushuang said with a smile.
“Elder Zhang.”
At this, Ye Lin stepped forward and nodded to Zhang Wushuang.
“Not bad, not bad. Initial Stage Foundation Establishment, also quite a handsome young man, but well, he’s still not very impressive.”
Looking at Ye Lin, who was emanating the aura of an Initial Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Zhang Wushuang shook his head with a smile.
The man standing beside Zhang Wushuang also had a look of disdain. Just Initial Stage Foundation Establishment, he could kill him with a casual flick of his hand.
“Neng’er, this is Elder Chu’s esteemed Disciple. When you enter the Dragon Abyss Cave tomorrow, you must take good care of him.”
At this, Zhang Wushuang said to Liu Neng with a smile, emphasizing the words “take good care.”
“Don’t worry, Elder Chu’s Disciple, I will definitely take care of him.”
At this, Liu Neng revealed a cruel smile.
“Junior Brother Liu, then I thank you for your care.”
At this, Ye Lin said with a smile.
Liu Neng’s expression changed. With Ye Lin calling him “Junior Brother Liu,” his seniority immediately dropped a level.
“Zhang Wushuang, take your useless Disciple and get lost.”
At this, Chu Xue was full of impatience and coldly snorted.
Hearing this, Zhang Wushuang’s face changed, but he made no movement, merely flicked his sleeves and walked away.
“Junior Brother Ye, I hope you can still be so arrogant when you enter the Dragon Abyss Cave tomorrow.”
Liu Neng smiled faintly at Ye Lin.
“When you go in tomorrow, don’t hold back.”
“Yes.”
Ye Lin bowed to Chu Xue. Seeing this, Chu Xue smiled. Others might not know her Disciple, but she did. That Liu Neng was just a useless person.
“Senior Brother Shi, what’s the relationship between the Saint King Sect and my Master?”
At this, Ye Lin quietly asked Shi Jian. From the moment the two met, Ye Lin had felt a deep sense of unease.
“These two have many stories, it’s like this…”
