"Master, you're back. Who are these people?" As soon as Ye Liuyun came back, Chu Menghan hurried to Ye Liuyun's residence.
However, when they arrived, they found that there were a few strangers in Ye Liuyun's residence, naturally they were Ye Fei, Jiang Wanling, Long Lingyu and Bai Bing.
After returning to his own territory, Ye Liuyun no longer turned them into weapons and carried them with him.
"Oh, they are all my friends, and this child is my adopted daughter." Ye Liuyun introduced Ye Fei in detail, and as for the others, she just introduced them casually.
Chu Menghan was stunned. Of course, she didn’t care about these things. She came here to report on Yunduan’s development in the past month.
After listening to her report, Ye Liuyun was very satisfied. At least so far, everything was in order, and no trouble occurred even when she was away.
"Well, Menghan, as the leader of Cloud, you don't need to report everything to me. Just handle small matters like this yourself. In the future, if there are big things, you can tell me. Do you understand what I mean?" Ye Liuyun didn't like being a nanny.
Her people must have the ability to be independent and cannot be allowed to develop a habit of dependence.
When Chu Menghan heard Ye Liuyun say this, she didn't say anything in return.
"Thank you for your trust, my lord. Menghan will definitely manage Yunduan well." Chu Menghan felt Ye Liuyun's trust, so she promised solemnly.
"That's right. Oh, and, Xiao Fei, you will also be Yunduan's disciple in the future. But remember, don't tell anyone else. You are my daughter. As a cultivator, you also need to go your own way. Of course, I will provide you with all the cultivation materials you need. Do you understand?" Ye Liuyun instructed Ye Fei.
Ye Fei nodded immediately.
"I understand, mother."
In the next few days, Ye Liuyun first looked for five kinds of skills with suitable attributes for Ye Fei. Ye Fei's realm was too low, so she had to learn step by step. She asked Jiang Wanling to teach her personally. With Jiang Wanling's cultivation level, it was more than enough for her to teach Ye Fei.
There was no way. Ye Liuyun was not a practitioner of magic. If she forced Ye Fei to teach her in this regard, she would be misleading.
Besides, she herself also needs to practice. The upper limit of her physical strength of a thousand years should be enough for Ye Liuyun to struggle for a while.
After arranging everything that needed to be arranged, Ye Liuyun set Bai Bing and Long Lingyun free, but this freedom was just ordinary freedom. Well, when they had nothing to do, they could do whatever they wanted, even if they didn't stay in the cloud.
Once something happens and Ye Liuyun needs them, he will summon them immediately.
This is the agreement between Ye Liuyun and them.
Bai Bing and Long Lingyun did not expect Ye Liuyun to do this suddenly.
Afterwards, Bai Bing returned to Beiyuan. With her speed, it would be easy for her to return to Beiyuan, but before leaving, Ye Liuyun asked Bai Bing for a drop of blood.
However, Long Lingyun did not go anywhere else. He found a quiet area within the Cloud Territory and lived there, planning to break through the Nirvana Secret Realm again.
Ye Liuyun also settled down in a quiet valley in the Tianheng Sect and began his own practice.
In this valley, women's screams could be heard frequently. If Ye Liuyun hadn't used a formation to block this area, people passing by would have thought there was a female ghost here.
Ye Liuyun was stimulating her body through pain. Although her perception of pain was much duller than that of ordinary people, there was an upper limit to the pain.
If pain has twelve levels, Ye Liuyun can currently ignore level six pain. What is the standard of level six pain? It is probably the pain of cutting flesh and breaking bones.
Of course, simply stimulating the body is definitely not enough. It also requires strong physical tempering, so Ye Liuyun still has to exercise.
She planned to use a hundred years, which was the hundred years agreed with Lin Aoxue, to strengthen her physical body to the peak level of the True Yuan Realm.
It took Ye Liuyun nearly a month from the time he left Yunzong to the time he visited all five of his relatives in Tang State.
At the same time, Lin Aoxue, who was far away in the Tai Shang Ganying Sect, was also about to come out of the Taixu Secret Realm.
"The Taixu Secret Realm is about to close. All disciples in the secret realm are requested to leave the Taixu Secret Realm immediately." A reminder from the top leaders of the Taishang Ganying Sect came from the Taixu Secret Realm.
When the people inside heard the sound, they felt that their bodies could fly again. They quickly flew into the sky and disappeared into the portal in the sky, leaving the Taixu Secret Realm.
But this time the Taixu Secret Realm was a bit tragic. At the moment the secret realm trial ended, the top leaders of the Taishang Ganying Sect arrived at the entrance of the Taixu Secret Realm as soon as possible, waiting for the people inside to come out.
Time passed little by little, and one figure after another flew out of the gate. Some of these people had smiles on their faces, while others were filled with sorrow or fear.
Another one, as soon as he came out, started complaining to his elders who were waiting outside.
"Peak Master, Sect Leader, and all the elders, you have to take charge of Tiancang Peak. Senior Sister Xuanmiao from Tiandao Peak has been killing innocent people and many of our disciples from Tiancang Peak." A disciple from Tiancang Peak knelt in front of the master of Tiancang Peak, covered in wounds.
Not only him, soon several disciples from other factions came out and told Tianyi Patriarch and others about Lin Aoxue's atrocities in the Taixu Secret Realm.
They happened to be the factions that wanted to deal with Lin Aoxue at that time, such as Tiangang Peak, Tiancang Peak, Xuanpo Peak and Xuanqing Peak, as well as several other factions. As soon as they came out, they began to exaggerate Lin Aoxue's behavior in the Taixu Secret Realm.
This month was probably the most brutal month for Lin Aoxue.
The reason why Patriarch Tianyi and the others came here in person was that too many disciples died in the Taixu Secret Realm this time. The most deaths came from the factions mentioned above. Each faction had at least twenty to thirty deaths, including some cultivators from the Siji Secret Realm.
This was the largest number of casualties in the history of the Taixu Secret Realm Trial of the Supreme Induction Sect, and just as these people said, the one who killed the disciples of these major factions was Lin Aoxue.
The heads of several factions in Tiancang Peak all had dark faces. They knew that they had secretly sent people to deal with Lin Aoxue, but they did not expect that Lin Aoxue was so murderous and killed so many people in their faction. In total, more than twenty cultivators from the Four Extreme Secret Realm died at the hands of Lin Aoxue.
These factions of theirs will probably suffer serious damage this time.
As for other factions that had no conflicts with Lin Aoxue, they all remained silent, but many of them had witnessed Lin Aoxue's fights with them and knew what was going on.
But there was no need for them to defend Lin Aoxue. If the Supreme Induction Sect could punish Lin Aoxue for her excessive murderous intent, it would be a good thing for them.
Of course, there were definitely people who came to Lin Aoxue’s defense, such as Yan Yu and Chen Yao, both of whom came out soon.
"Shame on you! It was you, the faction, who ambushed my younger sister many times, and she killed them instead. Now you have the nerve to come in front of the leader and say that my sister is cruel?" As soon as Yan Yu and Chen Yao came out, they angrily cursed at the group of people.
Patriarch Tianyi and the others did not say anything. Although the masters of Tiancang Peak and the others looked unhappy, they also did not say anything.
Because everyone knows what is going on. Besides, in the Taixu Secret Realm, it is not forbidden for fellow disciples to kill each other. If you want to deal with them, do you still expect them to spare your life? Isn't this a joke?
However, since their Tai Shang Ganying Sect is an immortal sect and not an evil sect, killing a large number of fellow disciples during the trial stage of the competition is not encouraged.
"My two uncles, you can't say that. Although our factions had conflicts with Senior Sister Xuanmiao for some treasures, we never thought of killing Senior Sister Xuanmiao. On the contrary, he killed her right away without mercy. Isn't his murderous intention too strong?" The disciples of these factions hurriedly argued.
Anyway, the people who died now are all their people. Whatever they want to say, isn't it just a matter of one word for you?
After all, from the current perspective, they are the victims.
"Oh, you couldn't win and people died, so you say you never wanted to kill my sister. Then can my sister also say that you resisted too strongly and she had to kill you?" Chen Yao scolded.
After being confronted by Chen Yao, these people were all stammering and speechless, because this is the truth: being weak is the original sin, and in a world where strength is supreme, the bigger the fist, the truth.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to quarrel anymore. We have our own judgment on this matter. Just shut up and wait until everyone comes out before we talk." Elder Tianjian snorted coldly.
As one disciple after another walked out of the gate, many of those direct disciples were not in good condition, because many of them were also ambushed by the Anti-Immortal Alliance.
Not all of them were killed by Lin Aoxue. Xuantian and others also killed many enemies who attacked them.
After their disciples who were ambushed came out, they saw Tian Cangfeng and others crying there, and immediately told them about their ambush.
"Master, Leader, there are many spies from the Anti-Immortal Alliance in the Taixu Secret Realm this time. They are hiding among the disciples and plotting against us secretly. If it weren't for the treasures given to us by the elders in advance, it would be difficult for us to escape. Junior Sister Xuanmiao was also ambushed by the Anti-Immortal Alliance, and more than once. That's why they are killing so many people. It's not at all what they call killing innocent people." Xuantian and others snorted coldly at the disciples of Tiancang Peak.
With so many direct disciples speaking up for Lin Aoxue, those peak masters and elders who originally had objections could only remain silent.
After a while, Lin Aoxue finally came out. She was murderous and it seemed that she had just killed an enemy not long ago.
But looking at Lin Aoxue's appearance, she was also quite embarrassed.
Not long ago, she had just dealt with three monks from the Four Extreme Secret Realm who wanted to attack her. One of them actually blew himself up at the last minute and wanted to die with her, so she was in a bit of a mess.
As soon as Lin Aoxue came out, she glanced around and soon locked onto those factions in Tiancang Peak that were hostile to her.
Having said that, Lin Aoxue immediately flew towards the people from these factions with great momentum, and it looked like she had the urge to kill them all.
But at this moment, Chen Yao hurriedly grabbed the aggressive Lin Aoxue.
"Little sister, what are you going to do? We have already left the secret realm." Chen Yao said hurriedly.
Lin Aoxue was probably a little bloodthirsty. When she saw the disciples from these factions, she wanted to kill them.
Patriarch Tianyi and the others also noticed Lin Aoxue's murderous intent and were about to speak up to stop Lin Aoxue from approaching these people, but fortunately Chen Yao stopped them. If Chen Yao and Yan Yu had not stopped them, and Lin Aoxue had attacked these people outside, it would have been a completely different situation.
"Eh? Sorry, I went a bit too far. Thanks for the reminder, second sister." Lin Aoxue took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous intent in her heart.
The disciples of several factions of Tiancang Peak had also sensed Lin Aoxue's killing-like aura just now. Their hair stood on end, and they thought that Lin Aoxue would dare to kill them outside after he came out.
"Okay, the Taixu Trial is over. You all should return to your factions and deal with the aftermath. Those people have obtained the core inheritance, so just report to me when the time comes. Xuanmiao, let's go back." Ancestor Tianyi shouted.
Lin Aoxue nodded, then greeted her eldest sister and second sister, and then flew to the side of Patriarch Tianyi. However, when passing by the factions of Tiancang Peak, Lin Aoxue glanced at them with a look as if she was looking at a dead person.
This is telling them that if they want to be my enemy, they should be mentally prepared.
Lin Aoxue already knew who her enemies in the Tai Shang Ganying Sect were. Now that she knew that, she would have a different attitude towards these people in the future.
As Patriarch Tianyi took Lin Aoxue away, the leaders of other factions also hurriedly took their disciples away. Soon, the Taixu Trial officially ended.
After returning to Tiandao Peak, Li Bai was leaning against the gate, drinking and waiting for Lin Aoxue. When he saw that Lin Aoxue looked a little embarrassed, Li Bai immediately opened his mouth to mock her.
"Oh my, isn't this my disciple who thinks he is invincible? How come he failed in the trial? He looks so embarrassed." Li Bai said sarcastically.
Lin Aoxue, who had been acting as if she didn't want anyone to approach her, immediately made a complaint.
"I didn't lose. I was just fooled by a scoundrel who blew himself up suddenly and ended up like this."
Li Bai shrugged.
"How can a true strong man be made so embarrassed by others? In the final analysis, it is because he is not strong enough. My dear disciple, you have to practice harder." Li Bai said.
Just like that, Lin Aoxue walked into the hall. After entering, Patriarch Tianyi naturally asked Lin Aoxue what happened inside, such as how many factions attacked him.
Ancestor Tianyi must get to the bottom of this matter and take precautions against it.
"Aoxue, the people from Tiancang Peak said that you slaughtered many disciples of their faction in the secret realm. Is this true?" Patriarch Tianyi asked as he sat down.
Lin Aoxue did not deny it.
"There is a faction that has sent people to besiege me many times. What's worse, those people from the Anti-Immortal Alliance also come from their faction. I can't judge whether they are members of the Anti-Immortal Alliance or people who just want to cause trouble for me, so I can only choose to treat them all equally and kill them first." Lin Aoxue replied.
Patriarch Tianyi didn't blame Lin Aoxue for killing them, he just wanted to find out what happened inside because too many people died.
"It seems that the people from the Anti-Immortal Alliance will not let go of any opportunity. Now that things have come to this, I will not say much. However, Aoxue, you are an immortal cultivator after all. Even if killing is unavoidable, you must learn not to kill and try not to kill. Killing will make people crazy." Ancestor Tianyi advised.
"That's right, little girl, it's not good to be too murderous. I have noticed that you are a bit too murderous. Be careful not to be caught by those factions." Li Bai also said.
Lin Aoxue did not deny this point. Once she decided to kill someone, she seemed to show no mercy at all. This was indeed something that needed attention.
"I understand. I will try my best to restrain myself." Lin Aoxue nodded.
After the Taixu Trial is over, Lin Aoxue will need to start accumulating contributions to the sect. She must make great contributions to the Tai Shang Ganying Sect, and then gain the recognition of more than half of the peak masters in the sect to secure this position.
Besides, there are still two hundred years until the Yao Chi Fairy Meeting in the Jiutian Holy Land. She will definitely participate there on behalf of the Supreme Induction Sect. However, she is currently only in the initial stage of the Four Extremes Divine Form Realm, which is definitely far from enough.
Although the Taixu Secret Realm has ended, Lin Aoxue has no plans to look for Ye Liuyun, because she has too many things to do and does not want to be distracted for the time being.
Both of them currently need more time to improve.
After all, they had agreed that they might not meet again within a hundred years. These hundred years were just enough time for the two of them to increase their strength to a new dimension.
Ye Liuyun concentrates on running her own cloud organization. She wants to make the cloud organization reach a very strong level in a very short period of time.
Of course, as the Lord of the Cloud, she doesn't need to watch the cloud every day. She only needs to provide a part of the funding source on time. Most of the time, she practices in the valley.
The days of cultivation passed by extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three years passed. On this day three years later, a big event happened in the Yun Sect. What was the big event? The ancestor of the Yun Sect passed away, and his life came to an end. He did not break through to the second level of the soul.
But it doesn’t matter. Lin Aoxue has bought them hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, they don’t need to be challenged by other forces.
The Yunxia Sect is growing rapidly with the support of the Supreme Induction Sect. At this rate, it won't be long before it becomes a medium-sized sect.
The YunDuan organization, relying on Ye Liuyun's money, has made the area headed by the Tian Heng Sect very prosperous. Of course, on the surface, it seems that the Tian Heng Sect has become stronger, but in fact, it is YunDuan that is operating behind the scenes. After all, YunDuan is hiding in the dark and does not publicize it to the outside world.
With the support of Ye Liuyun's elixirs, the overall strength of these member sects in the cloud is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And just like that, another hundred years passed.
These hundred years did not have much impact on the cultivation world, but the impact on the secular world was too great. Under Ye Feiwu's secret control, the five major domains of the Tang Kingdom became completely independent, and this place was no longer called the Tang Kingdom.
The Nanling area was completely occupied by the King of Chu, who announced the establishment of a country a few years later, changed its name to the Nanling Chu State, became an independent country, and no longer accepted the rule of the Li Tang State.
Several other regions also successively declared independence and established their own countries, including the Yan Kingdom in the north, the Qi Kingdom in the east, and the Qin Kingdom in the west. In other words, the Tang Kingdom was split from a big country into five small countries.
Fortunately, these countries still belong to the Li family. After all, they all have the surname Li. However, these vassal kings are definitely not limited to this area. After they established their own countries, they frequently attacked the Tang Dynasty and encroached on its land.
The small world of Jiutian Holy Land was in complete chaos.
Chapter 488 The Small World Collapses (5000 words + 2000 monthly tickets plus more)
One hundred years later...
On this day, a major event occurred in Jiutian Holy Land that changed the fate of Jiutian Holy Land.
In the hall where the World Stone was stored in Jiutian Holy Land, the World Stone, which already had cracks, suddenly had several more cracks.
As soon as these cracks appeared, the entire small world began to shake, and space cracks appeared everywhere in the sky of the small world.
It all happened so suddenly.
"This? What's going on? I'm not refining any medicine, so why is there such a big noise?" In a quiet valley in the Cloud Territory, Ye Liuyun, dressed in simple white clothes, was seen holding up a small mountain made of black iron to temper his body.
Although this hill looks only fifty or sixty meters high, its weight is definitely comparable to that of an ordinary mountain of several thousand meters.
