Lianyun Mountain, Righteousness Cliff.
Yu Xuanqing sat cross-legged in front of the tea table, skillfully brewing tea. When the fragrance of the tea floated, she divided the bright green tea into four cups.
One cup for herself, one for Lei Yuan, one for Pei Shuangxing, and one for Bai Yuling.
Lei Yuan and the other two were quite familiar with Yu Xuanqing, so they nodded slightly to express their gratitude.
Yu Xuanqing raised his cup and drank it in one gulp. The others also raised their glasses and tasted it.
As soon as the tea entered his stomach, a refreshing feeling spread out. Lei Yuan and the other two's irritation disappeared.
"The Heart Cleansing Tea is a secret of our sect. I only have a few kilograms left now … "
Yu Xuanqing sighed softly. "I've been feeling restless recently, and I'm relying on this tea to calm myself down."
Lei Yuan sighed as well. "The situation is very bad now. If this goes on, the foundation of the immortal sect will be broken!"
More than a year ago, all the mortals had learned the Northern Sea Star Assimilation Technique. All the experts from the Immortal Sects were shocked. Even if all the experts of the Immortal Sects added up, they would not be able to match up to such a method of imparting orthodox techniques.
The immortal sects chose one out of ten thousand disciples. Because of this, most of the disciples who entered the immortal sects lacked the guidance of a famous teacher. He could only rely on self-study.
Only those with true talent could stand out from the crowd. This was also a method used by the immortal sects to select talents. The world was so big, and there were billions of mortals. There were too many geniuses to count.
Only those who relied on their own ability, wisdom, and luck would have the opportunity to go further on the path of cultivation.
Moreover, the sect's resources were limited. When it came to choosing a successor, it was naturally more stringent.
The Three Thousand Immortal Sects' strict selection and nurturing process allowed them to control the most outstanding geniuses in this world. Of course, there would definitely be more geniuses who didn't get the chance. However, these geniuses had no immortal sects to nurture them, so they would never be able to grasp power.
Just like that, the Three Thousand Immortal Sects controlled the strongest power generation after generation and held the power of life and death in this world. They were always high and mighty, and no power could challenge their authority.
The Northern Sea Absorbing Star had broken the monopoly of the Three Thousand Immortal Sects. This secret technique was easy to learn as long as one dared to kill. Everyone could cultivate.
With billions of living beings cultivating together, the consequences were incomparably terrifying. Those geniuses who were unable to make a name for themselves grew rapidly through this method. Then, he would gain a firm foothold through merciless slaughter.
This kind of massacre would also stimulate others to cultivate crazily. In the tide of cultivation, those with weak wills and weak personalities would become food for others.
In fact, most people were used to cooperating and obeying the rules. Even if he learned the Northern Dark Star Absorbing Art, he would not dare to kill people casually.
In this kind of situation, the bolder and more ruthless people could easily kill their way out. Moreover, the Northern Sea Absorbing Stars could be accumulated continuously, and the more he killed, the stronger he would become.
As the snowball rolled, the strong became stronger and the weak became weaker. More than half a year had passed, and a few people had already advanced to the Essence Soul realm with the help of the Northern Sea Asteroid Assimilation.
Although these people's primordial spirits were very crude, they did not have the corresponding secret arts or divine artifacts. However, the destructive power of their Primordial Divinities was too strong.
Based on their rate of growth, they would probably reach the pinnacle of the Primordial Divinity realm in less than two years. At that time, it would not be easy to restrain them.
The key was that this group of people who had suddenly risen to power had experienced countless bloody massacres. His battle instincts were terrifyingly sharp. Once they realized that something was amiss, they would flee far away.
The Three Thousand Immortal Sects had also attacked several times this year, killing many cultivators who cultivated the Northern Dark Star-Sucking Technique. However, there were still a few cunning villains who killed everywhere and caused trouble.
Among them, the leader was Hu Jiu!
This person relied on destroying Nine Origin City to become famous in the world. He also angered the Three Thousand Immortal Sects and they sent out experts to kill him.
However, Hu Jiu was extremely cunning and could always find a chance to escape at the most critical moment. After a few times, Hu Jiu became more cunning and his combat skills became more brilliant.
Ordinary Primordial Soul realm experts were no longer his match in battle. Only by relying on powerful divine artifacts could they suppress Hu Jiu.
The problem was that they could not find Hu Jiu. Now, Hu Jiu had his eyes on the Immortal Sects and specifically targeted the weaker ones.
There was the Flying Butterfly Sect, which was also a sect that had been around for tens of thousands of years. Hu Jiu sneaked in and started a massacre. All the disciples of the sect below the Golden Core level were killed. Only two Essence Soul experts activated the Dharma Array and barely managed to drive Hu Jiu away.
This battle also made Hu Jiu even more famous. Hu Jiu was also the first Essence Soul cultivator in the past hundred thousand years.
To the Three Thousand Immortal Sects, Hu Jiu was actually far from being a threat. However, Hu Jiu represented the rise of grassroots cultivators, which had already threatened the status of the Immortal Sects and shaken their foundation.
Therefore, the Three Thousand Immortal Sects had reached a consensus to eliminate Hu Jiu as soon as possible.
This time, Lei Yuan, Pei Shuangxing, and Bai Yuling each represented their respective sects to discuss this matter with Yu Xuanqing.
Although Yu Xuanqing was the Righteous Sect Master, he was too young. Be it in terms of reputation or cultivation, he was not enough to convince others. She was not in charge of such a big matter.
However, Yu Xuanqing knew Gao Zhengyang and had interacted with him many times. He had a deep understanding of this person. It was not difficult to eliminate Hu Jiu, but the difficult part was how to deal with the terrifying consequences of the Northern Sea Star Assimilation Technique.
Yu Xuanqing had long called on the Immortal Sects to unite and eliminate Gao Zhengyang together. At first, everyone did not think much of it. Now, it seemed that Yu Xuanqing had a lot of foresight.
Gao Zhengyang was the culprit! If they had gotten rid of him earlier, things would not have gotten to this point.
However, the Sect Masters of the immortal sects were still concerned about their statuses, so it was not appropriate for them to show up personally. Thus, he assigned Lei Yuan, Bai Yuling, and Pei Shuangxing to discuss with Yu Xuanqing.
The three of them were originally on the same level as Yu Xuanqing among the top ten geniuses. Now, Yu Xuanqing had advanced to the Nascent Divinity Realm and inherited the position of the Righteous Sect's Sect Leader. Be it status or cultivation, he was far ahead of the other Sky-Prides.
Lei Yuan, Bai Yuling, and Pei Shuangxing were indignant. However, they had to admit that there was indeed a gap between them and Yu Xuanqing. In front of Yu Xuanqing, the three of them were very polite.
Bai Yuling put down her teacup. No matter how good the tea was, it wasn't the main topic, so there was no need to talk about it. She said, "The most important thing right now is to find Gao Zhengyang. Only by killing the source of this disaster can we slowly restore the world's order and eliminate the demons that have appeared everywhere!"
Pei Shuangxing shook his head and said, "It is too late to kill Gao Zhengyang now. The Northern Sea Absorbing Star has spread far and wide. Moreover, they were not allowed to pass it on to the next generation. Of course, that was impossible. This method is truly vicious! "
Lei Yuan said, "There is no need to be so pessimistic. Although the Northern Sea Absorbing Star is good for cultivation, it needs to absorb the life force of living beings, which is too evil. Humans are good by nature, and this method won't be passed down for long. It will eventually be lost. "
Pei Shuangxing smiled disapprovingly, but he didn't refute. There was no need to discuss such matters in the future. Lei Yuan wasn't that naive. He was just expressing a kind of hope.
Bai Yuling suggested, "Gao Zhengyang is currently missing, so we should first kill Hu Jiu as a warning to others! Otherwise, those ignorant commoners will think that we are weak. Once they have this misconception, we will have to pay a price that is a thousand times the price to correct this mistake! "
"Although Hu Jiu is a chess piece, he is currently in the limelight. We should indeed get rid of him first." Pei Shuangxing also agreed with this suggestion.
Gao Zhengyang must be killed. However, before they could find a flaw in Gao Zhengyang, they could only get rid of the evil dog they raised first. Once this relationship was sorted out, things would be much easier.
Yu Xuanqing was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "I haven't seen Xuan Ziying, Qing Hua, and Xu Zhen recently?"
These three female cultivators were all prodigies on par with Yu Xuanqing. They belonged to different sects.
In fact, the so-called top ten prodigies were the most outstanding disciples of the ten major immortal sects. Each sect had a spot. No matter how talented the disciples of the other sects were, they were not qualified to be listed.
These three female prodigies had always been at odds with Yu Xuanqing, and they competed fiercely with each other. On the other hand, Bai Yuling had always been on good terms with Yu Xuanqing.
Bai Yuling smiled. "I heard that they are in seclusion, so they are probably too embarrassed to come and see you."
Lei Yuan and Pei Shuangxing also smiled understandingly. These three were so proud, so it was normal that they didn't come. Women always had to be a little more petty!
"If only they were really in seclusion!" Yu Xuanqing sighed faintly.
Hearing her tone, Lei Yuan and the others became more attentive. Yu Xuanqing was the Righteous Sect's Sect Leader, so she wouldn't speak carelessly.
Yu Xuanqing took in the three's expressions. She didn't want to talk about this. After all, there were many people who doubted her as the Sect Leader. If this got out, the sect would be in chaos.
If Gao Zhengyang wasn't around, she would definitely keep it a secret and not say a word. However, with Gao Zhengyang around, who knew what he would do behind the scenes.
At this point, for herself and the immortal sects, Yu Xuanqing had to rope in a few reliable allies.
Yu Xuanqing said seriously, "The three of you are my closest friends, so please keep what I say here a secret!"
Yu Xuanqing was so formal that the three of them were a little surprised. Lei Yuan took the lead and said, "Don't worry, only the three of us will hear what you say. If it gets out, the three of us will definitely die under the Heavenly Tribulation! "
That was too serious. Pei Shuangxing and Bai Yuling looked a little unhappy, but they couldn't say anything else, so they could only nod in agreement.
Yu Xuanqing was very satisfied with Lei Yuan's attitude. She said, "Not only did Gao Zhengyang teach the Northern Dark Star Absorption Technique, he also taught the Nine Transformations Spirit Pill Refinement Technique to all the powerful cultivators of the immortal sects …"
Yu Xuanqing explained the matter in detail, and the three prodigies were dumbfounded. They were all extremely smart people, so they immediately realized how terrifying the Nine Transformations Spirit Pill Refinement Technique was.
Then, they thought about the three female prodigies who didn't appear. Their masters were all men, and they were all old Essence Soul cultivators. If they obtained the Nine Transformations Spirit Pill Refinement Technique, who could resist the temptation of longevity?
The three prodigies felt that no one could resist such a temptation. Cultivation was for the sake of longevity! That was the highest wish of all cultivators!
As for disciples, they were nothing! Essence Soul cultivators who had lived for hundreds of years would take in countless disciples in their lifetime. One disciple in exchange for a thousand years of life was too worth it!
Not to mention one disciple, even if it was ten or a hundred disciples, those old Essence Soul cultivators would be willing!
Thinking of this, the three of them felt a chill in their hearts. They all had masters, even if their masters wouldn't do it for various reasons. But what about the elders of the sect?
The Northern Dark Star Absorption Technique gave all the commoners a chance to make a comeback! But the Nine Transformations Spirit Pill Refinement Technique gave all the top cultivators endless evil thoughts!
Everything changed? What should they do?
