I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World

At the square in front of the Zixiao Peak Hall, more than 300 disciples who had practiced the "Open Source Limitless Skill" gathered from various peaks.

Shen Ninghua was filled with trepidation. She hadn't expected that her action would cause such a huge uproar.

However, he knew in his heart that this matter could not be kept secret sooner or later, and even if he did not report it, someone else would.

Disturbed, she avoided Liu Chong, who wanted to strike up a conversation, and went to a corner of the square alone.

After confirming with the various peaks that there were no other disciples, Lu Zongyan flashed out of the hall and appeared on the square.

"Greetings, Sect Leader." The disciples quickly bowed and paid their respects.

Lu Zongyan didn't waste any words and said directly, "I'm sure you all know why you're here. What I want to tell you is that this cultivation technique is far more precious than you imagine, and it will directly affect the rise and fall of my Ziyang Sect."

"That is why the entire sect has unanimously decided that this cultivation method needs to be strictly controlled and its continued unregulated circulation must be prohibited."

"Now, take out all the jade slips and manuals that contain copies of this technique, and do not leave behind a single word."

"Of course, the sect will not treat you unfairly and will give each of you five thousand contribution points."

Upon hearing this, none of the disciples below dared to object. However, Liu Chong, who hadn't been particularly nervous before, suddenly became anxious because he had given his jade slip to Senior Sister Shen.

Shen Ninghua realized something and her expression changed slightly, but she was currently some distance away from Liu Chong, and it would be difficult to communicate with him in front of the sect leader.

Over here, an elder from the Law Enforcement Hall has already begun collecting jade slips or secret manuals, handing over the cultivation techniques with one hand and transferring 5,000 contribution points to his identity jade tablet with the other.

When she reached Shen Ninghua, she forced herself to remain calm, handed over the jade slip, and received five thousand contribution points. However, she kept praying in her heart, hoping that Liu Chong would continue to do things for her and find a way to help her get through this ordeal.

Time seemed to drag on endlessly, until finally it came to Liu Chong.

"What? You don't want to pay?" The law enforcement elder frowned when he saw that Liu Chong's hands were empty.

"No, no, Elder." Liu Chong was at a loss for words.

"What happened?"

"Elder, I accidentally lost my jade slip," Liu Chong said, forcing himself to speak.

Hearing this lame excuse, Shen Ninghua felt like dying and unconsciously closed her eyes.

"Lost?" The enforcement elder sneered. "Do you know the consequences of deceiving the sect?"

"It's really, really lost," Liu Chong said through gritted teeth.

Without further ado, the elder in charge of law enforcement waved his hand, and Liu Chong was sent flying, landing with a thud in front of a group of disciples.

"Let's verify whether his words are true or false." As soon as the elder of law enforcement finished speaking, several deacons of the law enforcement hall flew forward.

Shen Ninghua knew that, let alone Liu Chong, a useless Qi Refining stage cultivator, even she herself would not be able to handle the methods of the Enforcement Hall.

So she dared not hesitate any longer and quickly stepped forward.

"Senior Sister," Liu Chong called out.

Shen Ninghua ignored him completely and knelt down in front of Lu Zongyan with a thud, saying, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, his jade slip has been given to this disciple."

"You gave it to me? Then why did you only hand over one jade slip just now?" Lu Zongyan's sharp gaze swept over him.

Shen Ninghua dared not look at him, but instead prostrated herself and replied nervously, "Brother, I did not originally have a jade slip, it was from him that I obtained it."

Lu Zongyan sneered, "Didn't you say you acquired the jade slip at a high price? What? When he sold it to you at that price, did he give you the original jade slip instead of a replica?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chong was instantly dumbfounded.

Shen Ninghua quickly confessed, "He gave it to me directly. I was blinded by greed and coveted the credit. Please, please forgive me, Sect Leader."

Lu Zongyan gave her a deep look, then with a wave of his hand, Liu Chong, who was not far away, instantly fell into his palm.

Seeing the sect leader's hand pressed on Liu Chong's head, Liu Chong let out a shrill scream. All the disciples present fell silent, and Shen Ninghua trembled all over, sweating profusely.

A moment later, Lu Zongyan waved his hand, and Liu Chong was flung away like a rag doll.

"Cripple his cultivation and cast him into the Ten Thousand Zhang Valley, never to emerge again." Because through the soul search just now, it was confirmed that Shen Ninghua had finally told the truth, that this kid had deceived the sect.

"No... Sect Leader, I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare my life!" Liu Chong pleaded with his last shred of reason, but no one paid any attention.

Several deacons from the Enforcement Hall stepped forward and, without saying a word, struck several major acupoints all over his body, instantly dispersing his internal energy and thus crippling his cultivation.

This violent method will inevitably damage his foundation, meaning he will never be able to cultivate again and will be reduced to a mortal.

Liu Chong screamed in agony and was then dragged away.

Shen Ninghua didn't dare to breathe, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "Sect Leader, this disciple has another matter to report."

"Speak," Lu Zongyan said, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Brother, I also passed on the cultivation technique to my younger brother. Please, please forgive me, Sect Leader." Shen Ninghua's body trembled uncontrollably.

She intended to protect her younger brother, but she also knew that Liu Chong had been subjected to soul-searching, and the sect leader must already know about it.

If they don't speak up soon, and the sect leader investigates, neither of them, brother and sister, will escape.

Clearly, Lu Zongyan was not surprised at all, and simply said coldly, "You're being too clever for your own good."

"If it weren't for your master and the fact that you reported the cultivation technique in time, I would have crippled you today as well."

"However, you may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment. You must return all the sect's rewards and then consume this Forget-Dust Pill."

As she spoke, a jade bottle appeared in front of Shen Ninghua.

Although she had never seen the Forget-Dust Pill, Shen Ninghua knew that it was for forgetting memories.

It goes without saying what the sect leader wanted him to forget—it was definitely the cultivation technique he had reported.

Am I destined to be forever barred from this top-tier martial arts technique?

Unwilling to give up, she mustered her courage and pleaded, "Sect Leader, please allow me to cultivate this technique, considering that I once served the sect wholeheartedly. I will never dare to deceive you again and will serve the sect with all my heart."

"Unwilling to accept? Do you want to go to Ten Thousand Zhang Valley with that kid from before?" Lu Zongyan's voice grew colder.

Shen Ninghua shuddered. Going to such a place was worse than death.

So she dared not say anything more, and quickly took out the sect's reward and identity jade token, then picked up the jade bottle in front of her and poured out the brown pill.

He tilted his head back and swallowed the Forget-Dust Pill.

Just a few breaths later, she felt a dizzying sensation and then collapsed to the ground.
