I loaded the innate divine power.

Chapter 74 The Chief Steward's Nine Bell Rings

We continued deeper into the area.

Soon, Shen Yi followed Bai Suzhen to the front of a mountain peak.

Jade Peak!

Shen Yi's gaze fell on a stone tablet not far away, with a very poetic name.

Magnificent peaks and beautiful scenery!

A winding ancient cobblestone path leads upwards, and looking into the distance, one can see palaces and tall buildings standing tall in the mountains.

Magnificent and splendid!

Just as they arrived at Jade Peak, a figure appeared before Bai Suzhen.

A woman dressed in green.

While it's not particularly exquisite, it's still quite pleasing to the eye.

However, Shen Yi was more concerned about the woman's cultivation aura.

Although one cannot discern the specific level of cultivation of a Dan Jin cultivator, judging from her aura, this woman's cultivation is probably several levels deeper than Jiang Ling's.

They must be at least at the late stage of Dan Jin, or even at the perfect Dan Jin stage.

"Greetings, Lord."

The woman in green stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Bai Suzhen.

My lord?!

Not a disciple of the Biyang Sect?

Hearing the green-clad woman's name, Shen Yi was secretly surprised.

This title makes it seem like the woman in green is some kind of assassin, like Bai Suzhen's henchman.

If they were disciples of the Holy Sect, they probably wouldn't be addressed this way.

Bai Suzhen nodded slightly, looked at the woman in green, then at Shen Yi beside her, and slowly said, "This is my steward, Qinglan, who is in charge of all matters at Yuqiong Peak."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi cupped his hands and said, "I am Shen Yi, and I greet Miss Qinglan."

Qinglan looked at him with a hint of surprise, then turned to Bai Suzhen.

Seeing the surprise on Qinglan's face, Bai Suzhen said, "His name is Shen Yi. He is a disciple of the Fire Worship Sect that I took in, so he can be considered my disciple."

"Greetings, Young Master Shen!" Qinglan immediately returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Bai Suzhen's gaze fell on Shen Yi, and she said softly, "You should stay at Yuqiong Peak for now. It will take some time to arrange your identity."

"

"This disciple understands." Shen Yi nodded.

Bai Suzhen frowned slightly as she looked at him: "From now on, you will be a disciple of the Holy Sect. You don't need to call me Master anymore; just call me Senior Sister."

"————?!"

'

Is it really that casual?

Upon hearing Bai Suzhen speak, Shen Yi was slightly taken aback, then cupped his hands and said, "Senior Sister!"

'

Bai Suzhen nodded, then looked at Qinglan: "You take charge of making the arrangements. I have other things to do, I'll come back after I'm done."

"Yes." Qinglan nodded, and then Bai Suzhen moved like a shooting star, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

"Where—is this the location of the main peak?"

Shen Yi looked in the direction Bai Suzhen had gone.

Biyang Peak!

The direction of the main peak of the Biyang Holy Sect.

"Young Master Shen, please come with me." Qinglan looked at Shen Yi, her voice drawing him back to reality.

"Thank you for your trouble." Shen Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then followed Qinglan along the bluestone path toward Jade Peak.

At the entrance of a secluded villa halfway up Yuqiong Peak, Qinglan stopped. The gate opened, revealing a pleasant environment.

Shen Yi glanced around and found that this place was even better than the Mountain and Water Villa.

Qinglan looked at Shen Yi and slowly said, "Young Master Shen, you will stay here for the time being. The living facilities here are all complete. As for any further arrangements, the master will inform you and make other arrangements accordingly."

"Three meals a day will be delivered to your door. If you don't need anything else, I'll take my leave now."

Shen Yi naturally had no objection. He nodded and watched Qinglan leave before stepping into the villa.

Upon closer inspection, the backyard was quite spacious, with hills and water, and the training ground was also much larger.

Besides these, there are also alchemy and weapon-refining rooms, but he doesn't need them for the time being.

Alchemy and weapon crafting can only be considered after one has reached the level of Dan Jin.

As for now, he has no such thoughts.

After wandering around for a while, Shen Yi went inside.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Shen Yi placed the Tiger Soul Blade aside.

His gaze fell upon the panel in front of him.

Mysterious Yin Condensation Meridian Technique (Level 9): [18357/51200]

Crimson Flame Palm (Level 6): [634/14400]

Ghostly Shadow Step (Level 5): [8357/9600]

Killing Demon Blade Slash (Level 4): [1142/8000]

"Over 18,000, still a little over 30,000 —"

"Normal cultivation would take about a month, but I don't know if Bai Suzhen has any more pills to support her. If she does, then it will be much faster."

Looking at the panel, a thought flashed through Shen Yi's mind.

The Profound Yin Condensation Meridian Technique was the second extraordinary technique he cultivated, and this technique was also related to the subsequent secret scriptures of the Holy Sect.

He insisted on perfecting this extraordinary skill.

He had already experienced firsthand the power of supernatural abilities.

For an ordinary martial artist to fight a Dan Jin disciple with the cultivation of a perfected Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivator would undoubtedly be a pipe dream.

Although progress is slow later on, once you reach the pinnacle of your cultivation, your strength will increase rapidly.

Besides, he had already cultivated to the ninth level, only one step away, so he couldn't possibly give up.

"Inner disciple————"

"I don't know how the test will go, let's wait and see how it's arranged."

The thought flashed through his mind. Shen Yi focused his mind and calmed his breath, visualizing the Xuan Yin Diagram. At the same time, he circulated his mental technique, absorbing the Taiyin energy at full speed. The Taiyin Fire Seed in his dantian vibrated.

A chilling atmosphere filled the room.

Time slips away unnoticed.

""

"Clang!"

"Just as Shen Yi was focused on his cultivation, suddenly, a series of powerful bell tolls came from the depths of the Biyang Sect."

The resounding bell startled Shen Yi, who was in the middle of his cultivation, awake.

At this moment, everyone in the Biyang Sect looked in the same direction.

"Could something big be about to happen?"

Shen Yi looked out the window, then got up, opened the door, and went outside.

Once outside the courtyard, standing on the cliff, Shen Yi looked towards the source of the distant bell sound.

It's the sound of the bell from Biyang Peak!

Nine chimes!

It spread throughout the entire clan!

Although he didn't know what the nine chimes meant, his intuition told him that something big was about to happen.

This ringing certainly didn't happen for no reason.

"Um?

'

Shen Yi's gaze swept around and suddenly saw Qinglan's figure not far away. Upon seeing this, he quickly stepped forward, walked up to Qinglan, cupped his hands, and asked, "Miss Qinglan, what does the nine chimes of the bell mean?"

"It is the sound of a bell that signifies the appearance of a true disciple."

,

Qinglan gazed at Biyang Peak and spoke slowly.

"The bell that represents the true disciples!"

'

"It's Bai Suzhen!"

Hearing Qinglan's explanation, Shen Yi immediately understood.

Bai Suzhen went to Biyang Peak, and she had already revealed her cultivation level during yesterday's battle.

According to the tradition of the Holy Sect, those who reach the True Qi Realm can be ranked as true disciples!

The true teachings of the Holy Sect!

His status as a disciple reached its peak.

With the cultivation level of True Qi Realm, this level of strength would place him among the absolute top tier in the Holy Sect.

His cultivation level was three points higher than that of ordinary elders.

However, true disciples are not limited to the True Qi Realm.

The True Qi Realm is merely the threshold to becoming a true disciple, not the limit.

However, he still didn't know what level of cultivation the true disciples possessed at their strongest.

"Is this Senior Sister Bai's advancement to a true disciple?" Shen Yi asked Qinglan.

Qinglan nodded slightly: "Three years ago, when the master left to train, he was at the Gang Jin level. After returning three years later, he has broken through to this level."

"He broke through in just three years—that's some seriously abnormal talent."

,

Shen Yi clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.

He underestimated Bai Suzhen's extraordinary talent.

If it weren't for the talent to ascend to godhood, given the original owner's talent and aptitude, she probably wouldn't even have been able to see Bai Suzhen.

A true martial arts prodigy!

To rise above others in the Holy Sect is far more difficult than in the Zoroastrian Church.

"No rush, I'll be there too!"

Shen Yi's eyes were firm.

For others, breakthroughs depend on opportunity, comprehension, and innate talent, but for him, none of these are problems.

So what if it's the Holy Sect of Demonic Path?

We can still fight our way out!

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to be able to survive.

The Holy Sect's insane survival rules mean that if you're not careful, you could face utter ruin.
