Chapter 3 Impersonation
In the territory of Lingzhou in the Yue Kingdom, a celestial mountain floating in the sky can be vaguely seen amidst the churning sea of clouds.
This mountain is called Yuehua Mountain, and it is the mountain gate of the Xuan Yue Sect, the head of the seven major sects in the Yue Kingdom.
The Xuan Yue Sect is the strongest cultivation sect among the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom, and it has three Nascent Soul elders.
The founder of the Xuan Yue Sect, Fairy Yan Yue, was a female cultivator, so the Xuan Yue Sect has a large number of female cultivators, and the disciples all wear moon-white clothes.
However, based on Ding Yuqin's memories, Su Chun realized that the Xuan Yue Sect was actually not very respectable.
Because the Xuan Yue Sect mainly practices dual cultivation.
However, unlike the Hehuan Sect in the neighboring Luosha Kingdom, the Hehuan Sect's male and female disciples always pair up or forcibly absorb the essence of others for cultivation.
Although the Xuan Yue Sect also practices dual cultivation, their dual cultivation can be practiced by both men and women.
Their cultivation emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang.
For example, if a female disciple cultivates the Yang-attribute Bright Moon Technique, she can find a disciple who cultivates the Yin-attribute Nether Moon Technique for dual cultivation.
This kind of dual cultivation involves exchanging the magical power cultivated by each individual to achieve the effect of yin and yang harmony.
Dual cultivation may sound a bit embarrassing, but not all dual cultivation involves any interaction between men and women.
Su Chun piloted his flying artifact and flew continuously for four days before finally arriving at the territory of the Xuan Yue Sect.
"Is that Mount Yuehua, where the Xuan Yue Sect is located, just ahead?"
Su Chun slowly stopped and fell into deep thought once again.
Although she had absorbed most of Ding Yuqin's knowledge in the past few days, she was still somewhat uneasy.
Just then, two figures flew in from afar, riding magical artifacts, and stopped in front of Su Chun.
The visitor was a disciple of the Xuan Yue Sect.
These cultivators are extraordinary and refined, handsome men and beautiful women, and look different from ordinary people.
Su Chun has changed quite a bit in the past few days. If she was just pretty and innocent before she became a cultivator, now she has an air of otherworldly refinement.
After the Xuan Yue Sect disciples arrived, they glanced at the flying artifact under Su Chun's feet. This was a unique flying artifact of their Xuan Yue Sect. They wondered how their own artifact could be used by a disciple who was not from the Xuan Yue Sect.
“Fellow Daoist, this is the territory of our Xuan Yue Sect. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. Moreover, why are you wielding one of our Xuan Yue Sect's magical artifacts?”
One of the female disciples spoke up and asked a question.
When Su Chun heard the question, she quickly organized her thoughts.
Since she was impersonating Ding Yuqin, she naturally had to act according to Ding Yuqin's personality, otherwise she would easily arouse suspicion from acquaintances.
But it seemed unnecessary for her to reveal her true identity to ordinary disciples, because she was still unaware of what the Xuan Yue Sect had become.
Do you recognize this?
Su Chun took out Ding Yuqin's Elder Token from the Sumeru Ring.
The two were startled when they saw the Elder's Token in Su Chun's hand.
Regardless of who Su Chun is, the token in Su Chun's hand is definitely genuine.
"Your disciple greets the elder."
The two hesitated for only a moment before bowing to the token in Su Chun's hand.
According to the Xuan Yue Sect's rules, seeing an order is like seeing an elder.
“I know you have questions, but there are some things I can’t say to you. Please inform Yue Ningxuan.”
After exchanging a glance, the two quickly sent a message to their sect, as they were unable to assess the situation of the person before them.
Soon, a powerful aura erupted from within the Xuan Yue Sect.
Several men and women dressed in white flew out of the Xuan Yue Sect's mountain gate at top speed and arrived in front of Su Chun.
These people were all Core Formation cultivators, four women and three men, and Su Chun knew most of them.
The beautiful woman leading the group was Yue Ningxuan, Ding Yuqin's junior sister.
"Who are you, and how do you come to possess the Elder's Token?"
After Yue Ningxuan arrived, she looked Su Chun up and down and then asked a question.
Their Xuan Yue Sect currently has no elders out, so where did the girl in front of them get her elder's token?
"Junior sister, it's been a long time. I never thought we'd meet again."
Su Chun tried to greet Yue Ningxuan in Ding Yuqin's tone.
Upon hearing that familiar tone, Yue Ningxuan shuddered. She seemed to realize something and immediately flew to Su Chun's side, tentatively asking a question.
"You, you're my senior sister?"
Ding Yuqin disappeared a hundred years ago, and the higher-ups of the Xuan Yue Sect knew about it. The other elders were also quite shocked.
"Yes, it's me. I'm back."
Su Chun nodded.
After confirming Su Chun's identity, Yue Ningxuan excitedly hugged Su Chun tightly.
When a beautiful woman suddenly threw herself into his arms, Su Chun almost lost her composure.
But you have to get used to it, because Ding Yuqin and Yue Ningxuan were taught by the same master and grew up together since childhood. They are as close as sisters.
"Senior sister, where have you been all these years? If it weren't for the fact that the soul fire you left behind in the sect hadn't been completely extinguished, I would have thought you had perished."
After hugging, Yue Ningxuan began to ask Su Chun what had happened.
Su Chun carefully explained the prepared explanation to Yue Ningxuan.
These were all cultivators who had lived for hundreds of years. Even if they had a good relationship in the past, Yue Ningxuan's first reaction upon learning that the girl in front of her was her senior sister was doubt and suspicion.
But after hearing Su Chun's explanation, everything that seemed illogical suddenly made sense. As for how much of it she believed, that was hard to say.
“I never expected that something like this would happen to my senior sister. No wonder you’ve been missing for over a hundred years. Come on, I’ll take you to see Master. He’ll be so happy to know you’re still alive.”
Yue Ningxuan pulled Su Chun and flew towards the Xuan Yue Sect's mountain gate.
As for the other elders, although they all knew Ding Yuqin, they were mostly afraid of her.
"I never expected that the First Elder would still be alive. But now she has possessed a body with such poor aptitude. What will the Ancestors do with her?"
“In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. It’s already a miracle that she came back alive. How could they possibly let a Qi Refining cultivator serve as an elder?”
Apart from Yue Ningxuan, the other elders did not show much joy at Su Chun's arrival; on the contrary, they were hostile.
At the summit of Yuehua Mountain, clouds and mist swirl around, and cranes cry in unison.
Exquisite white jade pavilions dot the landscape among green pines and cypresses, while springs and waterfalls cascade down the cliffs, filling the air with a rich spiritual energy, creating a true paradise on earth.
Yue Ningxuan led Su Chun to a beautiful pavilion on Wangyue Peak of Xuan Yue Sect.
Inside the attic, a woman dressed in white with silver hair stood with her back to the door, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Master, Senior Sister is back."
Yue Ningxuan shouted excitedly.
However, the white-haired woman merely glanced at Su Chun with a look full of suspicion, and at the same time, she exuded a terrifying divine pressure.
This woman is Qu Xinyao, currently the strongest member of the Xuan Yue Sect, a peak mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
With just one glance, Su Chun felt as if he had been seen through.
However, Su Chun also noticed something amiss with the other party.
That is, Qu Xinyao looks young, but there is an inescapable air of old age between her brows, which is very different from what Ding Yuqin remembers.
Of course, this is not something Su Chun should be concerned about at this moment.
"What a terrifying look in your eyes. Calm down, calm down. You and Ding Yuqin have completely merged. There's no way she could tell."
Su Chun tried her best to calm herself down. Fear was inevitable; after all, she wasn't the real Ding Yuqin.
"Master, your disciple has returned."
Su Chun quickly greeted Qu Xinyao, and this "Master" interrupted Qu Xinyao's spiritual probe.
She slowly withdrew her consciousness, her eyes still filled with doubt.
"Ningxuan, you go back first. I have some things to ask Yuqin alone."
Yue Ningxuan assumed that her master and senior sister had not seen each other for a hundred years and had many things to say to each other in private, so she bowed and left first.
With Yue Ningxuan gone, Su Chun's pressure increased even more.
An aura that made Qu Xinyao's heart pound began to emanate from her.
The other party was clearly a beautiful fairy in white, but she gave off the feeling of a giant beast awakening.
"You're not Yuqin, are you?"
Qu Xinyao suddenly said something.
This sudden question, coupled with the pressure of her divine sense, would make it difficult for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator to keep their secret.
The oppressive aura made it hard for Su Chun to breathe.
"Master, Master, I really am Yuqin. I finally managed to possess a little girl and return to the sect. What are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Xinyao intensified her pressure and her words became even sharper.
"Still lying to me. My disciple went missing a hundred years ago. Although she didn't die, her soul fire dimmed to the extreme, and she was almost on her last breath. In this state, even if she didn't die, how could she be reborn by possessing another body? Could it be that you backfired and possessed everything she had?"
As expected of an old monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years, he was able to deduce from Ding Yuqin's condition that Su Chun at this time was not Ding Yuqin.
But Su Chun wasn't an idiot. The other party seemed very confident, but if they didn't think she was Ding Yuqin, why did they have to press her like this?
It was precisely because Qu Xinyao couldn't ascertain Su Chun's true identity that she put pressure on her step by step, forcing Su Chun to reveal her flaws.
Therefore, as long as Su Chun insists that she is Ding Yuqin, Qu Xinyao will not be able to find any flaws.
“Master, I know that after being missing for so long, my sudden return will arouse suspicion from everyone. If you do not believe what I am saying, you can search my soul to confirm my identity.”
Su Chun proposed a method to verify identity, but this step was very risky.
Soul searching is no gentle method; it can easily crush a person's consciousness if done carelessly.
