My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 190 [A Thread Connecting Heaven and Earth]

"What do you think?"

"I think it's okay!"

Su Ling'er looked excited.

But in return, Lin Qingfeng directly refused!
"Can't!!!"

This contains so much of my hard work!
I spent ages brainstorming ideas and then spent ages cutting them out!

So you weren't really being sincere just now? How awful!

And even if it doesn't work, it's still my hard work, so I'll use it for a long time before making a judgment!

"This is to establish your authority! When new disciples enter the sect and witness your divine might, they will understand the sect's foundation and act with reverence in the future."

"Do you understand the deeper meaning behind this?"

not understand!
All I know is that I've utterly humiliated myself today, and I'll definitely be considered to have fallen into evil ways!

However, Su Ling'er thought again that this was, after all, the Demon Sect.

Transforming a living person into a heretical cultivator and demonstrating such rapid power-enhancing "ironclad proof" is indeed fatally attractive to recruiting those with wicked intentions who crave power.

So she had no choice but to nod resignedly and, under her senior brother's "gratified" gaze, turned and walked towards the mountain gate.

……

Outside the mountain gate, Ye Longtao's figure finally appeared on that desolate land.

He stopped, his gaze sweeping over the barren gravel beneath his feet, his brow furrowing slightly.

The scene in the dark room before departure resurfaced in my mind.

"Long Tao,"

"Those outer disciples we sent out earlier have sent back some information."

Ye Longtao felt a chill run down his spine.

"Those outer disciples..."

"Long Tao,"

Xuan Yuan Daoist's voice was calm and even, revealing no emotion.
"There is some news about the Guixi Sect."

Ye Longtao felt a chill run down his spine.

He already knew that the sect had sent these outer disciples to investigate when he arrived.

In his view, those were just pebbles used to test the waters, insignificant.

"Those outer disciples... are ultimately lacking in Dao heart and are too small to shoulder great responsibilities."

Daoist Xuan Yuan spoke slowly, his tone not accusatory, but rather a calm statement of facts.

"However, the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine; all things have their uses."

Although they failed to achieve their goal, and were even trapped by the power of the demonic abyss, some of them managed to explore some of the potential pitfalls of the Qingxu Temple's future.

Xuan Yuan Daoist showed that the life tablets of the fourteen people behind him were intact.

"The weakness of the outer disciples' will proves that perhaps inner disciples like you are capable of handling this task, and among the inner disciples, you are the only one I trust."

"This matter may be indispensable to you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Longtao's eyes flashed with a hint of self-righteous arrogance.

It's no wonder that the group of people in the outer sect, who can't even grasp the basics of immortality, can't accomplish anything.

The sect leader's stinginess with resources is what caused these outer disciples, whose resolve was not firm, to fall into the abyss of evil.

He snorted in his heart.

However, they should consider themselves honored to be able to do chores for the inner disciples themselves.

If it weren't for the sect's need for servants to constantly handle those trivial matters, he would have long ago suggested to the sect leader that all these mortals who dared to dream of cultivating immortality be dismissed.

If you lack the necessary skills, you should face reality as soon as possible and return to the basics.

"The Guixi Sect's treasures far exceed my imagination."

The voice of Xuan Yuan Daoist pulled him back to reality.

“If we don’t find out the true strength of this sect soon, it will become a major threat in the future. Now, this responsibility can only fall on your shoulders.”

He handed a jade talisman with a smooth, luminous surface to Ye Longtao.

"This item is called the 'Heaven and Earth Connected by a Single Thread,' a rare treasure that I obtained by chance in my early years. It is a pair of two, and as long as they are within a thousand miles, they can ignore any restrictions and transmit messages instantly."

This talisman can only be activated by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above. Even if it is interrupted midway, although it will destroy itself, it can still clearly transmit back what was seen and heard in that instant.

On this journey, you must…

Xuan Yuan Daoist paused mid-sentence, glancing at the jade talisman, and finally couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Such a treasure would be ruined after a single use, let alone sent out as an inner disciple of his Qingxu Temple…

Although the disciple I chose has a slightly poor temperament, he is still an inner disciple who has already established his foundation.

In the future, they will all be silenced.

Even if he dies, it won't be entirely bad for the development of Qingxu Temple.

"...Long Tao,"

He composed himself, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

“You were rescued from the jaws of a monster by your master when you were young, and I have treated you as my own son.”

This mission is both a perilous trial and the greatest opportunity on your path!

He patted Ye Longtao on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Once this is done, the position of your personal disciple will be yours!"
I will also guide you through the enlightenment of the fragments of the "Primordial Dao Canon" from the Shang Sect!

This journey is not only for the greater good of the sect, but also for your own glorious path to the Golden Core realm!
Go forth and prove to everyone that you are the true chosen one!

Ye Longtao clutched the "Heaven and Earth Connected by a Single Thread" token tightly in his palm, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Whether it was to repay the sect leader for saving his life and for nurturing him, or for the readily available position of personal disciple,
He must succeed on this trip!
Xuan Yuan Daoist looked at the burning fighting spirit in Ye Longtao's eyes, but his heart was ice-cold.

Sure enough, although he had a bad temper, he was also easy to control.

He suddenly remembered Dong Changsheng.

Although that outer disciple had low cultivation and a wicked heart, his seductive words had a strange effect on people's hearts.

"Destiny," "the strong," "opportunity"...

He thought to himself that these words were indeed more likely to touch the hearts of his disciples than empty "sectarian doctrines".

That's just how people are.

Blind loyalty is also a form of loyalty.

As long as they are mostly willing to work for the sect's benefit, what difference does it make what kind of method is used to motivate them?

Once this matter is settled, perhaps... we should find a suitable disciple to teach this method, and promote it among outer disciples, inner disciples, and even direct disciples.

He didn't want Qingxu Temple to decline under his leadership...

But who exactly is the master of this child's mental skills?

……

at the same time.

The Annamite Kingdom, located far to the south of the Daqian Dynasty.

The capital city, the residence of the Imperial Preceptor.

Inside the magnificent hall, filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, Zhou Wenqiang leaned back on a tiger-skin throne, embracing two beautiful women dressed in thin gauze on his left and right, enjoying the sweet fruits they offered him.

They did it for no other reason than to get closer to this symbol of success.

Zhou Wenqiang, who went back to his old business, seemed to have some luck again after that troublesome disciple was no longer around.

He rose through the ranks of the Annamite Kingdom and eventually became the Grand Preceptor, a position second only to the emperor.

It is not a nominal title.

These days are truly comfortable!

"Ah sneeze——!"

Zhou Wenqiang suddenly sneezed loudly for no apparent reason, startling the beautiful woman in his arms, who turned pale.

He rubbed his nose, a strange sense of irritation and unease flashing through his mind.

what happened?

Who is talking about me?
As long as it's not that wicked disciple, that's fine.

……

At the entrance to Guixi Sect.

Ye Longtao raised his head, his gaze sweeping over everything in front of him.

Outside the mountain gate, the grass and trees were withered and lifeless, and there was not a trace of life in sight.

Inside the mountain gate, auspicious clouds swirled and spiritual energy permeated the air, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

As expected, it's a heretical sect!

Then, he was drawn to the scene on the inner canopy...
