I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

Qingyun Sect.

A steep, uniquely shaped peak pierces the sky, like a peerless sharp blade, cutting through layers of clouds and mist.

Although the Qingyun Sect is not a top-tier sect on the continent, it is firmly among the second-rate sects, and its foundation and prestige should not be underestimated.

The winding mountain steps were bustling with people.

During this time, a graceful and aloof figure walked slowly forward, her hands behind her back, exuding an extraordinary charm.

She wore a simple white dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her temperament was ethereal, as if she could ride the wind and return in an instant.

All the disciples he encountered along the way wore obsequious smiles and were extremely respectful.

It was none other than the Holy Maiden of Qingyun—Murong Xue.

Murong Xue's name was known to everyone in the Qingyun Sect.

As the sect leader's only daughter and the sect's holy maiden, she possesses a double aura, making her the most dazzling presence in the sect.

What made her famous was her engagement to Lin Feng.

The Chaos Saint Body possesses unparalleled talent among his peers.

A saintly woman paired with a prodigy; the world marveled that they were a match made in heaven.

But no one could have predicted that in a sudden turn of events, Lin Feng's cultivation would be completely destroyed, and he would fall from grace.

Murong Xue immediately broke off the engagement and resolutely withdrew from the relationship.

There was no shortage of criticism from the public, who accused her of abandoning those who had helped her, but no one dared to openly criticize her.

After all, the mainland reveres the strong, and strength is the only true path to power.

But now that news of Lin Feng's dantian being repaired has spread, the situation has quietly reversed.

Murong Xue slightly raised her chin, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the disciples, he strode directly to the mountaintop and entered the core main hall, Qingyun Hall.

The hall was solemn and dignified. Sect Master Murong Yan sat in the main seat, with the sect's high-ranking members and the four elders standing on either side.

Sitting to Murong Yan's left was a sprightly old man, none other than Wang Long's master—Gu Niantong, the head of the four elders.

Because Wang Long and Murong Xue had already entered into a marriage agreement, Gu Niantong looked at her with a gentle smile.

Murong Xue nodded slightly, which was considered a courtesy, but her attitude was somewhat perfunctory.

However, as the sect leader's beloved daughter, none of the higher-ups took it seriously.

"Xue'er, come here!"

Murong Yan raised his hand and called softly.

Murong Xue responded and gracefully moved to the front of the main seat.

The elders looked up and, despite their vast experience, were all moved by her unparalleled beauty.

Dressed in white, her figure was accentuated by a gold sash that cinched her waist. Her emerald-green cloud-patterned boots made her appear even more elegant and refined, her aloof demeanor resembling that of a celestial being descended from the moon.

"Everyone's here, let's begin the meeting!"

Murong Yan surveyed the entire room and spoke in a deep voice.

"I'm sure you've all heard about Lin Feng's dantian repair. I've already sent people to verify it, and the news is true."

"The reason I have gathered you all here today is to discuss this matter. I welcome everyone to share their opinions."

Before the words were finished, an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in a red robe, was the first to stand up.

"Sect Master, Lin Feng's rebirth is a great fortune for our Qingyun Sect! This child possesses a top-tier sacred body, and we should devote all our efforts to nurturing him. When he grows up, he will surely help the sect advance even further."

"Elder Ge's words are inappropriate!"

Gu Niantong slowly stood up, his tone calm but his attitude resolute.

"During the time when Lin Feng's cultivation was completely destroyed, we both know how the sect treated him."

"As the saying goes, you can't see into someone's heart. Even if this boy keeps his mouth shut, he must be harboring resentment in his heart."

"If we invest so much effort in nurturing them now, we might end up raising a tiger that will eventually cause us trouble!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one responded.

After Lin Feng was crippled, the sect indeed treated him as a discarded pawn and neglected him to the extreme.

If a wolf turns back, it's either because of hatred or resentment.

Whether Lin Feng still retains loyalty to the sect is indeed uncertain.

Murong Yan also frowned slightly, pondering in silence.

"Sect Master, in my humble opinion, it would be better to completely cripple his cultivation to prevent future troubles!"

"Just in case he harbors resentment and seeks revenge against the sect in the future!"

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Gu Niantong's eyes.

Of all the people present, the one who least wanted to see Lin Feng rise to prominence was him.

Disciple Wang Long has already made a marriage agreement with Murong Xue. After the ceremony, his status will rise accordingly.

Lin Feng's return completely disrupted the established situation, creating endless variables.

"Elder Gu, that's too hasty a statement!"

Murong Yan gently shook his head, brushed his robe aside, and ended the argument.

"Let's set this matter aside for now. Everyone, please step aside. Xue'er, please stay."

After all the elders bowed and took their leave, Murong Yan suddenly stood up and looked intently at his daughter.

"Xue'er, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Murong Xue remained calm and composed, her tone completely unwavering: "It's entirely up to Father to decide."

Murong Yan was slightly taken aback, then pressed on, "You were engaged to Lin Feng before, did you ever have any genuine feelings for him?"

Murong Xue spoke without hesitation, her words cold and resolute.

"Father, I have never liked Lin Feng as a person. What I have always admired is his Chaotic Holy Body."

"This was true in the past, and it will be true in the future."

In her eyes, all her past with Lin Feng was insignificant.

"Very well, I understand. You may leave."

Murong Yan nodded slightly.

After Murong Xue left, he narrowed his eyes and murmured softly.

"Lin Feng's old injury to his dantian is something even I am powerless to repair. How exactly did he heal himself?"

"Could it be that he has a powerful backer helping him?"

……

Not only the sect's high-ranking members, but also the inner and outer disciples and even the servants were all discussing the matter of Lin Feng's dantian recovery.

"Has Lin Feng's dantian truly fully recovered?"

"It's absolutely true. I've heard that Wang Longzheng has sent people everywhere to search for his whereabouts."

"What a cruel twist of fate! The once-proud genius who fell to the bottom has actually returned. I wonder if he can regain his former glory?"

"Wishful thinking! Senior Brother Wang has already secured his position as the top disciple of the inner sect, and he is also engaged to the Holy Maiden. He possesses power, strength, and prestige. In his eyes, Lin Feng is nothing but an ant, whom he can crush with a wave of his hand."

"Do you think he'll show up to participate in the inner sect competition this time?"

"Most likely not! Wang Long's momentum is already established, and Lin Feng's only option now is to avoid his sharp edge in order to protect himself."

Time passed slowly, and amidst the discussions, the eve of the competition finally arrived.

Before dawn, a long line formed at the registration desk in the inner gate square, with disciples from all walks of life eagerly signing up.

With everyone focused on the grand competition, no one noticed a tall and imposing figure slowly approaching from beneath the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate...
