"Tsk tsk, boy, this mutated spiritual peach tree might have the hope of becoming a new spiritual plant of heaven and earth. I don't know whether you are extremely lucky or extremely unlucky." Lin Qingyou sighed.
Ye Liuyun smiled faintly.
"It doesn't matter. No matter whether I have good luck or bad luck, I have to live. I can't just find a place to crash to death just because I have bad luck, right? Besides, I can't die, so luck is not important." After Ye Liuyun said this, he walked towards the gathering point.
At the same time, above the clouds more than ten miles away from Yunxia Sect, a huge and gorgeous magic spaceship was seen, like a giant whale swimming in the sea, flying towards the direction of Yunxia Sect at an extremely fast speed.
There were many people standing on the spaceship, both men and women. The attire of the Yun Sect's disciples was similar to that of the Yunxia Sect, but more elegant and graceful than that of the Yunxia Sect's disciples.
"I never thought that there would be a day when I would come back. I don't know what expressions and attitudes my senior sisters, brothers and master would have when they see me." A young monk who looked to be in his twenties sighed as he stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the Fuyun Mountain in the distance.
“Junior Brother Yun Che, you don’t have to care about their opinions. These lower-level sects will never understand one thing, that is, our Yun Sect and their four lower-level sects share a common destiny. If our Yun Sect collapses, their status will also be lost. Asking them to send outstanding disciples to the Yun Sect is like asking for their lives every time.” The middle-aged man next to the young man said with a look of sarcasm and ridicule.
This young man named Yun Che was from the Yunxia Sect. He was Yun Yun’s junior fellow apprentice and also Yun Tian’s last disciple.
He joined the Yunxia Sect about two hundred years ago, but after staying in the Yunxia Sect for several decades, he was noticed by the Yun Sect and then joined the Yun Sect and became a disciple of the Yun Sect.
His aptitude is probably the best among all the disciples Yun Tian has accepted. His cultivation has surpassed Yun Hui and others, reaching the early stage of the fourth level of the Dao Palace Out-of-Body Realm, which is the same level as Yun Yun, and he is more than a hundred years younger than Yun Yun.
“But why would the sect do this? Why can’t the sect calmly explain the interests involved to the four subordinate sects? I believe that if we explain things clearly, they should be able to understand the current situation of the Yun Sect.” Yun Che murmured.
“Haha, Junior Brother Yun Che, you are too naive, aren’t you? If the sects in the cultivation world can be convinced by just talking, then do we still need to practice? Do we still need to fight? Everyone can just close the door and play by themselves, why bother with fighting and killing.”
“You have to know that if our Yun Sect declines and the upper sect has to re-select the mid-level sects, these four families will not face the challenge together with our Yun Sect. It’s good enough that they don’t stab us in the back.” The middle-aged man sneered.
His worries were also correct. If the Yun Sect's overall strength was not enough to qualify as a mid-level sect, the superior sect, the Supreme Induction Sect, would definitely re-select a suitable mid-level sect.
According to the rules of the Tang Kingdom's cultivation world, a suitable medium-sized sect would challenge the Yun Sect, and it would almost be a life-and-death battle.
The winning sect will occupy the Yun Sect and become a new intermediate sect, while the losing sect will either be disbanded on the spot or exterminated.
Under normal circumstances, the four sects including the Yunxia Sect have to help the Yun Sect, but many times, these lower-level sects will choose to betray their upper sect and join other sects in order to protect themselves, so the Yun Sect definitely does not trust the four lower-level sects, and has no way to trust them.
If the Yun Sect is defeated, there will be no chance of recovery, but it is different for the four subordinate sects. The most they can do is change a main sect, or give up the title of subordinate sect, at least they can protect themselves.
The people sent by Yun Sect this time were all disciples who had come from the four major sects within the past three hundred years. The quality of these disciples was much better than that of the four major sects, and the worst were all at the Spiritual Pattern Realm.
In the Yun Sect's Dao Palace, the first level can at most enter the inner sect. The second level can make one an important disciple of the inner sect. The third level can make one a core disciple of the Yun Sect. The fourth level can make one a seed or elder of the sect.
And this Yun Che is a disciple of the seed level of the Yun Sect. A disciple of this level is already treated as a direct disciple, and there is hope that he can compete for the position of the master of the Yun Sect in the future.
Yun Yun and others were already standing in the martial arts arena, looking at the sky, and soon they saw a large magical spaceship appear in their sight.
Ye Liuyun and other junior outer disciples had already arrived at the foot of Floating Cloud Mountain. They also saw a large magical spaceship flying towards the Yunxia Sect above their heads.
"What a spectacular flying magical weapon! Could it be that someone from Yun Sect has arrived?" Ye Liuyun muttered.
"Well, it should be." Lin Qingyou replied.
The Yun Sect's spaceship soon landed on the Yunxia Sect's martial arts training ground. Yun Yun and others hurried forward to greet them, but when they saw the people getting off the spaceship, their expressions froze.
Because they knew almost everyone who came down from above.
Yun Yun and the others had already organized their words and were ready to welcome the Yun Sect's envoys. However, when they saw some of the people among them, they couldn't say anything.
"Why are they here? Damn it, is the Yun Sect deliberately mocking us?" This time even the old Taoist Yanchen showed his displeasure.
Those who got off the boat were all disciples from the four major sects. Do you think they could be happy?
The four leading people were all at the fourth level of the Dao Palace realm. After they flew down, their eyes fell on Yun Yun and others who were standing in the front.
As soon as Yun Che saw Yun Yun, he immediately showed a happy expression.
“Big Sister.” Yun Che hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to salute Yun Yun, but just as he was about to salute, Yun Yun beat him to the punch.
“Your Excellency, you are too polite. I don’t deserve the title of Senior Sister. I am Yun Yun, the current leader of Yunxia Sect. I pay my respects to all the envoys of Yun Sect.” Yun Yun saluted Yun Che with a cold face.
Yun Che was embarrassed for a moment. As for the top leaders of the other three families, they also had bad attitudes when they saw the other three people.
Because in their eyes these people are traitors.
Of course, the other three people did not behave like Yun Che. They seemed very arrogant and did not take these former brothers and sisters seriously at all.
The former disciples of the four sects who followed closely behind them were more or less embarrassed. After all, they had nominally gone to Yun Sect to practice and further their studies, but in the end they all chose to stay in Yun Sect.
Almost every sect has dozens of people. If these people return to their respective sects, they will definitely be the pillars of the sect.
“Senior sister, several senior brothers, you, you don’t need to perform such a grand ceremony. We have brought back all the disciples who stayed in the Yun Sect this time. They are all back.” Yun Che said hurriedly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders of the four major sects were stunned.
"Ah? What does that mean?" Yun Yun and others straightened up in confusion.
“That is to say, from the moment we came back, we were no longer disciples of the Yun Sect. Instead, we returned to our respective sects and no longer returned to the Yun Sect. In name, we only went to the Yun Sect to practice, and we did not leave our original sect.” Yun Che explained with a smile.
His words were like thunder in our ears. It sounded like it was a good thing that so many once outstanding disciples returned to their respective sects.
But would Yun Zong have such a good heart? This is what Yun Yun and others need to think about.
This was too unexpected. I thought Yun Sect was here to ask for someone, but unexpectedly, they sent back all the disciples from the four sects.
“Master, you heard it right. The Yun Sect asked us to go home.” Just then, a handsome young man of the first level of Dao Palace came to Yun Che and explained to Yun Yun with a smile.
This young man's name is Qi Chaoying. Actually, she is Yun Yun's first disciple, and is in the same batch as Li Jianxin and others.
Just a few decades ago, he was chosen by the Yun Sect to practice in the Yun Sect, and he has never returned since.
Chapter 65 A complicated situation
Yun Yun looked at her apprentice whom she hadn't seen for decades with a complicated expression.
"Chaoying, you're back too? I'm very curious, what is the upper sect up to?" Yun Yun asked.
Qi Chaoying chuckled, then greeted the former disciples of the Yunxia Sect behind him.
"Everyone, why haven't you come to see your master? Have you been away from the sect for so long that you have forgotten your master?" Qi Chaoying said lightly.
Upon seeing this, the disciples hurriedly walked up to their respective masters and saluted Yun Ling and the others. Among this group of people, the oldest and most senior one was Yun Che, Yun Tian’s little disciple.
Then there is Qi Chaoying, the former young master of the Yunxia Sect, and finally there are those who are under two hundred years old.
There are more than fifty people in total, more than half of them are at the Dao Palace realm. Most of them have left the Yunxia Sect for more than a hundred years. Except for a few who have joined the Yun Sect not very long ago, most of them are inner disciples of the Yun Sect.
The return of so many Dao Palace realm cultivators, if they really did, would definitely be the greatest strength boost in history for the Yunxia Sect and the four major sects.
But Yun Yun and the others were only surprised, not happy at all. Why did they come back at this time when there were other options? If they said there was no purpose, they would never believe it even if they were beaten to death.
"Master, we have all returned with great achievements in our studies. Why do you seem unhappy? Isn't this a good thing?" Qi Chaoying said with a smile.
Yun Yun was about to say something, but at this moment, a majestic voice sounded in the ears of Yun Yun and others, and this voice came from above the nine heavens.
"Four lower-level sects, I am Wu Yanxun, an inner sect elder of the Yun Sect. I know that you four lower-level sects have complained about asking for disciples from your sects over the years. Today, I will return all the disciples from the four sects who entered the Yun Sect within the past three hundred years to settle the cause and effect. I hope that you can get along well with each other and don't humiliate these talents."
"As for the linkage of the four sects, just consider it as a celebration of these people returning to the sect."
When Yun Yun and the others heard the voice, they immediately bowed to the sky and said yes.
"I will obey the patriarchal order."
After he finished speaking, Elder Wu left. He did not show up. After Elder Wu left, the cultivators from the four sects who had returned to the scene all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, senior brother, what do you plan to do with us when we return to Yanxia Sect?" The middle-aged man in the early fourth level of the Taoist Palace from the Yanxia Sect said to the old Taoist Yanchen with a smile.
When Yanchen heard this, he immediately became displeased.
"Junior Brother Yan Jiang, how about I give the position of sect leader to you?" Yan Chen asked back with a cold face.
"Eh? This, is not necessary. Why not give me the position of deputy sect leader? With my cultivation level, it should be no problem for me to be a deputy sect leader, right?" The middle-aged man named Yan Jiang said with a smile.
When Yanchen heard this, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
"Of course, you are already at the fourth level of the Dao Palace, the same realm as me. Not to mention being the deputy sect leader, even being the sect leader would definitely not be a problem." Yanchen replied with a forced smile.
Afterwards, the cultivators from the four sects each found an uninhabited area and talked privately. Yun Yun also led these returning disciples to the sect's main hall.
The situation of the Yunxia Sect was better than that of the other three sects, because after Yun Che was accepted as a disciple by Yun Tian, Yun Yun taught Yun Che on behalf of Yun Tian for a long time.
In name, Yun Che is Yun Tian's apprentice, but in reality, he has a better relationship with Yun Yun.
Now that the strong men from the Yun Sect have left, there are only people from the Yunxia Sect here. Yun Yun doesn't care what their purpose is in coming back, so she just opens the window and speaks frankly.
Because Yun Sect's method can no longer be considered a conspiracy, but an open and aboveboard plot. Sending all the people back to you has no moral problems, and it also improves the overall strength of your four major sects. You can't find any fault with it.
You can't tell Yun Zong that we don't want these disciples anymore, right?
"Junior brother, we are the only ones from the Yunxia Sect here, so stop beating around the bush. Can you tell me why the sect suddenly released all of you?" Yun Yun asked with narrowed eyes.
Yun Che was silent for a while, and then answered very directly.
"Actually, Senior Sister and fellow disciples, you should all understand what the Master meant. Why do you have to let me, your disciple, say it myself?"
That's right, with the brains of Yun Yun and others, it is impossible for them not to guess what Yun Sect is going to do. They suddenly sent back a large number of disciples who could almost replace them. This method was too obvious.
Among these disciples, those who have been in Yun Sect for the longest time have been almost two hundred years, and those who have been there the shortest have been there for almost fifty years. Their feelings for Yun Sect are definitely stronger than those for Yunxia Sect, and their average cultivation is above the Lingwen Realm. There are more than twenty cultivators in the Dao Palace Realm, and their aptitude is stronger than that of the Dao Palace cultivators in their Yunxia Sect.
In other words, these people came back to seize power openly. Even though this generation is suppressed by Yun Yun and Yun Tian, they have no way to do anything. But what about the next generation, what about a hundred years later?
Once this group of people come back, they will definitely occupy the core area of the Yunxia Sect.
“Good tricks. I admire you. You are worthy of being the top sect. I can’t find any fault with this in Yunxia Sect. I understand. Don’t worry. I accept your return. I declare that from now on, Yun Che will be the deputy sect master of Yunxia Sect. As for the others, those who reach the third level of Dao Palace will become the new inner sect elders, those who reach the second level of Dao Palace will become outer sect elders, and those who reach the first level of Dao Palace will be arranged to become sect deacons.”
“Those who are at the Wheel Sea Realm should return to their respective masters,” Yun Yun announced.
But at this moment, Qi Chaoying spoke.
"Master, I don't want to be a deacon. I would like to continue to be your direct disciple." Qi Chaoying stood up and said.
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, Yun Yun's face immediately became solemn, because ever since Qi Chaoying went to Yun Sect, Yun Yun was equivalent to losing a direct disciple, so she accepted Lin Aoxue.
Now that Qi Chaoying is back, he is unwilling to be a deacon and still wants to get his previous identity back. Yun Yun is in a difficult situation. First of all, their Yunxia Sect did not deprive these people of their identities, so Qi Chaoying is still Yun Yun's apprentice and future successor, but now there are two successors.
“Chao Ying, don’t you know in Yun Sect that I have already accepted another disciple?” Yun Yun reminded.
Qi Chaoying smiled indifferently.
"Of course I know. It's Lin Aoxue, Junior Sister Lin, right? This doesn't affect anything. In Yun Sect, all the direct disciples and seed-level disciples are eligible to compete for the position of the next generation sect leader. I am willing to compete fairly with Junior Sister Lin." Qi Chaoying said with a calm smile.
Yun Yun wanted to laugh when she heard this. Fair competition? Qi Chaoying had been practicing in Yun Sect for decades and was already in the late first level of Dao Palace. Which disciple could compete with him at this level?
However, Yun Yun believes that Lin Aoxue's qualifications will definitely surpass the person in front of her in the future.
"Since you said so, I will make an exception and allow you to become the sect master's personal disciple again." Yun Yun nodded.
Qi Chaoying immediately bowed to Yun Yun and then sat down.
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, so let's continue with the assessment of the four sects." Yun Yun made a hand seal and released a stream of magic power towards the center of the hall. The magic power quickly condensed and soon formed a water curtain, reflecting the image of the disciples of the four sects at the foot of the mountain.
This is the Xuan Guang Technique, and it is not a particularly powerful method.
As for the cultivators from the other three sects, they quickly returned to the Yunxia Sect's sect hall to watch the assessment together.
Yun Yun signaled to Yun Hui, who immediately flew out of the hall and came to the mountain gate. At the same time, he used his magic power to convey a message to the disciples at the foot of the mountain.
"The promotion examination for the intermediate outer disciples of the four sects will begin soon. Please prepare yourself, disciples of the four sects."
When Ye Liuyun and others at the foot of the mountain heard the sound, they immediately came to the entrance of the mountain gate and prepared to begin the test of the first level.
But Ye Liuyun didn’t know yet that the Yunxia Sect might change after today. Of course, the affairs of the top leaders had nothing to do with them, the disciples.
Now it depends on how they get along with each other.
"Time is up. The first stage of the Four Sects' Assessment, the Road to Heaven, officially begins. The rules are that you must arrive at the mountain gate before dusk. Those who fail to arrive will be considered failed. Let's begin."
Testimonials
This is the first time in my life that a transformation article has been published with tens of millions of copies.
Although the books I wrote on other websites before were basically either a failure or had no income, it was finally a success.
I graduated from university in 17 and entered the online literature industry. It has been almost seven years now. Time flies so fast. The road to writing books has been full of ups and downs.
I hope this book can help me get rid of my identity as a failed author. Of course, even if it can’t, it will still be a huge improvement.
I will only update one chapter today, and I am stuck at the beginning of the climax of the plot. In fact, I have saved tens of thousands of words. I will start updating ten chapters tomorrow, which means an update of about 20,000 words.
The paid chapter begins with the content about the struggle between the returning disciples and the original disciples of Yunxia Sect. However, many people may not have read the label of this book. This book is about a light-hearted and funny cultivation theme.
Some of the content is deliberately exaggerated and funny, so some readers don’t quite understand why I write like this, and some readers have been leaving messages questioning it.
Sometimes, in order to make things lighthearted and funny, it is necessary to lower the IQ appropriately and reasonably without affecting the direction of the plot.
But don't worry, when I write about the reduction of intelligence, most of the time it is when I am interacting with the heroine and making medicine and doing weird things.
