For something like Fan Zhishan impersonating another sect's Sect Master and nearly destroying their foundations, it wouldn't be too much even if Spirit Heaven Palace killed her. Yet, Pi Shi protected her without a care. Naturally, this would incite the dissatisfaction of the masses. Most of the people who were sent by the various sects to observe the ceremony were people with actual power in their sects. Which one of them wasn't a smart person? They would always be willing to overthink things when encountering problems.
Though this happened in Spirit Heaven Palace, the other sects had no choice but to ponder over the meaning behind it. They suspected if this was all planned by Ripple Sect alone. Just by sending a Nascent Soul cultivator and a mere lie, she almost took the position of Sect Master. Then, would they send someone else to take over the position of Sect Master in the future as well? Ripple Sect's ambition was truly huge. They were planning on unifying the various sects.
In an instant, the various sects began to guard against Ripple Sect. On the surface, the various sects were still in harmony, but behind the scenes, they were constantly making small movements. There were even second and third rate deity sects that began to approach the other first-rate sects, faintly showing signs of joining forces to resist Ripple Sect.
Though Ripple Sect was the number one deity sect, and had abundant resources. However, they were still able to deal with the resistance from the other sects. It might not be obvious in the beginning, but as time passed, the influence would only grow stronger. If it wasn't resolved, it wouldn't be long before it fell from the number one position.

Spirit Heaven Palace, Magnificent Jade Pavilion.
"Mistress …" Sesame stretched its head over, desperately blinking its eyes at her with a pitiful look.
Zhu Yao raised her hand and gave a slap, instantly slamming his head onto the table.
She looked at the person in front of her. "You knew this would happen from the very beginning?"
Leng Yu glanced at her with disdain. "I simply calculated that Pi Shi would definitely stand up for that trash. I never expected him to be so stupid as to take her away in front of the various sects."
"It's no wonder you let Ling Tian return so easily." Ripple Sect would definitely be very lively in the near future. The female lead didn't have the time to care about the matters of Spirit Heaven Palace either.
"However, that trash won't let Tiantian off so easily." Fa Yu frowned. "You hid your identity back then. Though she couldn't recognize you, she still saw you with a single glance. Furthermore, she was trying to sound you out with her words. I reckon that Tiantian definitely has something she needs. "
Zhu Yao recalled as well. The situation where Fan Zhishan insisted on her becoming his disciple in front of the hall was indeed very strange.
"In any case, you'd better not act rashly for the next few days," Fa Yu said in a deep voice. "As for the people from Spirit Heaven Palace … I will naturally think of a way."
After saying that, he did not care if Zhu Yao agreed or not. He turned around and left.
"Mistress …" Sesame weakly called out again, with a wronged look, trying to make its presence known.
Zhu Yao lowered her head to look at it, and retracted her hand that was pressing on it. "Tell me, how did you get hurt?"
Sesame was stunned for a moment. "Mistress … could tell?"
She immediately rolled her eyes at it. "With your arrogant personality, I won't be able to find you. When did he learn to walk properly? This time, it actually obediently walked out of the cave step by step. It's definitely not normal, okay? " Not to mention, when he saw her, he rolled around and hugged her leg even in his human form. It couldn't be because he was beaten by her, but because he was injured too badly. You can't even stand properly!
"Mistress …" Sesame's eyes reddened. With a touched look, it crawled over from the table. It wanted to burrow into her embrace. "Wuuu. This beastie is so pitiful. I dropped another rank. "
Zhu Yao once again pressed down on its face, and pushed it back to its original spot. "Then why are you still wasting spiritual energy to maintain your human form?" Was it tired of living?
Sesame's figure flashed, and it instantly turned into the size of a puppy, laying on the table.
"Tell me, just what happened?"
"Initially, I was desperately cultivating in Spirit Realm, and wanted to look for you in the Higher Realm. But Yue … "
"Enough!" Zhu Yao interrupted its words, and immediately stood up. "Get to the point. How did you end up with Fan Zhishan?"
"When I was crossing realms, my inner core was damaged, and I dropped a rank. I finally managed to reach that spiritual cave from before, and wanted to borrow the dense spiritual energy there to heal my injuries. In the end, I encountered that tenth rank demonic beast, which was that Bai Li from before. " Sesame said with a complaining tone. "I know he's not a good beast, but he said he was willing to listen to my orders, and came to look for me several times. Then, he said he wanted me to help his partner with a small favor. Back then, my injuries had yet to heal, and I didn't want them to see it, so I agreed. I never expected that mistress would actually be here! "
"If you just didn't want them to see it, then why didn't you change locations?" It was only recuperating, so other locations were fine too.
Sesame chuckled, and scratched its head a little embarrassedly. "Of course I have my reasons for not leaving."
As it said that, it suddenly trembled and stood up. With an 'ah' sound, it opened its mouth. A ray of light flashed, and a human-sized egg suddenly appeared on the table.
Sesame stroked the eggshell as though it was a treasure, and its face rippled. "Mistress, isn't it beautiful?"
Zhu Yao was shocked, and was stunned for a moment. "You can actually lay eggs!" Wasn't it a male?
"…" Sesame immediately leapt up. "It's not my egg! No, it's my egg. But, I didn't lay it. I found the egg. "
"You stole someone else's egg?" (¬ _ ¬) You beast trafficker.
"I didn't steal it, I picked it up, I picked it up!" Sesame immediately raised its paw to show its innocence. "I saw it in that cave, all alone there. I realized that the egg contained the aura of someone from the same race, so I picked it up. "
"Someone from the same race?" Could it be the Spirit Guiding Beast that had yet to hatch like Fa Yu had mentioned? She did not know Sesame's breed either. She had initially thought that it was because it came from the Higher Realm, but now it seemed like it was a Spirit Guiding Beast as well. Coincidentally, it was also in that cave. That was why Fan Zhishan thought that she had awakened it, and believed that Sesame was the guardian beast of Spirit Heaven Palace.
Sesame carefully stroked the eggshell. "There should be a beastie that looks exactly the same as me inside, and …" Its eyes shone, and as they sparkled, a strange red color suddenly surfaced on the pitch-black beast's body. "I can sense that there's a female beastie inside."
"…" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. That was why he was guarding that cave without a care for his life. Was Sesame in its estrus season now?
"Mistress, can I …" You know what I mean.
"Why are you blinking at me? Your father-in-law just left! "
"Ah!?"
If you want to marry a spiritual beast of Spirit Heaven, go ahead and propose to Fa Yu.

Zhu Yao inspected Sesame for a moment, and realized that it was not as simple as just dropping a rank. Even its inner core was mostly shattered. On the surface, its body did not seem to be affected. On the surface, its body looked fine, but the spiritual energy in its body was extremely chaotic, and it was still leaking away. If it did not adjust its breathing in time, its realm would continue to drop. Most likely, it would drop back to the ninth rank not too long later.
That day, she used beating it as a cover to seal several of its chaotic meridians. However, she was only able to temporarily stop its spiritual energy from dropping that quickly. However, she was after all, just a Foundation. How could she deal with a tenth rank demonic beast that was equivalent to a late-stage Demigod? That layer of suppression. It would be broken through very soon.
Zhu Yao was a little anxious. She was truly a little depressed. In her current state, her body belonged to Spirit Heaven. No matter how hard she tried to raise her cultivation, it would be useless. How good would it be if she had her own body? At the very least, as long as she formed her Azoth Core, she would be able to summon her sword intent to repair its meridians. However, she was completely helpless right now.
"Mistress, you can keep me in your divine sense. We have a contract, so my injuries can be healed immediately. "
Zhu Yao shook her head. "My body belongs to Spirit Heaven. When I exchanged the usage rights with her, I could only hide in my Dantian. How am I supposed to keep you in my divine sense? "She didn't even have a body, let alone a divine sense.
Sesame was silent for a moment. "It's fine, I'll just drop a few ranks, that's all. Sesame can still repair itself. "
"Stop pretending!" It clearly minded it a lot. "Don't worry. I'm your mistress, I'll think of a way. "Which demonic beast's advancement wasn't incomparably difficult? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it had a slim chance of survival. Repair itself? It was easy for him to say.
She did not know why Realmspirit actually allowed her to reincarnate into Spirit Heaven's body, and did not give her a new avatar. Even if it was the same as before, a tree or a dandelion, it would be fine too.
Wait a minute!
Didn't she still have a godly brush? With how mystical that brush was, she could create a new one herself.
With an excited look, Zhu Yao immediately reached into her bosom, only to pull out two short rods. She was instantly dumbfounded!
"The hell!" She could not help but curse out. When did it break? Why wasn't she aware of it?
"What's this?" Sesame raised its two claws and placed it on her hand to look at it.
Why did this brush break just like that? The quality was a little too bad, wasn't it?
Zhu Yao recalled. She did not do any intense exercise, right? Other than yesterday …
She was startled for a moment. She suddenly recalled the time when Fan Zhishan swung that bugged weapon and slashed at her in the underground prison yesterday. She seemed to have really heard a slashing sound. Could it be that she was slashing this brush back then? But she had clearly dodged that weapon, and the brush was in her bosom. Then what was it that she was slashing at?
Could it be …
Zhu Yao simply felt her heart ring, as an absurd thought popped out.
She fiercely stood up, picked up Sesame who was still curious, and charged out. She immediately kicked open Fa Yu's door.
Fa Yu was startled, as he raised his head and looked at her with disdain. "What are you doing here?"
Zhu Yao immediately reached out her hand and grabbed onto his collar. "Fa Yu!"
"What are you trying to do?" He reflexively shifted backwards, and hugged his chest.
"The hell, I'm not your little girl Tiantian, what can I do to you?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at him. "Get up, I have something urgent to tell you!"
Only then did Fa Yu stand up, and glared at her. "Why are you here in the middle of the night? Even if you don't sleep, my Tiantian still needs to rest, you know? "
Zhu Yao could not be bothered with his poisonous tongue. "Let me ask you, you mentioned that Fan Zhishan has a unique mystic energy in her body, right?"
"Mn." Although he did not understand why she was asking this, Fa Yu still nodded.
"Then how did you discover that mystic energy?"
Fa Yu looked at her strangely. "Why are you asking this?"
"Don't ask for the reason yet." Zhu Yao said with a stern look. "I just want to prove my guess."
He frowned, and then said with an impatient look. "The first time I saw that trash, she was quarreling with that idiot Cao Qi. That trash seemed to have released killing intent as they quarreled." As though he had thought of something, his brows instantly furrowed. "Back then, I clearly saw her stabbing something into that idiot Cao Qi's body. However, after that, not only did I not discover what mystic artifact she was using, even that Cao Qi fellow was completely fine. It was as though nothing had happened, and they immediately healed."
He turned to look at Zhu Yao and said. "That's why I guessed that she should have a mystic energy that can bewitch people's hearts."
Zhu Yao's face paled, and she instantly felt unwell.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Fa Yu asked.
She chuckled with a powerless look. "The move she used on Cao Qi, she used it on me as well."
"Ah!?" Fa Yu was shocked. "You … You can't have fallen for her as well, right?" He suddenly seemed to have recalled something, and like a gust of wind, he tightly grabbed onto her hand. "Then what about Tiantian? Has Tiantian been bewitched? Her heart is mine! "
"The hell!" If not for the fact that your cultivation level is higher than mine, do you believe that I will kick you? "This old lady is a woman!"
"Who knows if that trash doesn't discriminate between men and women? My Tiantian is so good. "He still had a doubtful look.
"That move of hers, did not hit me." Zhu Yao flung his hand away. "However … she had indeed slashed something."
He frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Fa Yu." Zhu Yao said word by word. "That day, before she slashed me, she once told me that I'm a person who carries great luck."
"Luck …"
"If my guess is correct, Fan Zhishan is able to see everyone's luck." Zhu Yao said seriously. "That unique mystic energy you sensed, is the technique she used to snatch other people's luck!"
"…"
— — — —
The term luck was vague and illusory, and it was something similar to luck, luck value, and opportunities. Everyone's luck was different. Just like how some people were born in a wealthy family, some people lived in precarious situations. Deity practitioners required a certain amount of luck as well. Otherwise, no matter how high one's innate talent was, or how outstanding one's aptitude was, if no one guided one onto the path of deity cultivation, it would be useless.
Furthermore, the cultivation world was extremely dangerous. Although spiritual treasures were everywhere, other than whether one had the ability to obtain them, one still had to see if one had the luck to find them.
Hence, people with stronger luck would usually be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. And most of the people who ascended into deities, were people who carried great luck. Naturally, the more luck one had, the better.
In the beginning, Zhu Yao did not think about luck. In regards to Fan Zhishan's luck, she simply thought that it was because she had a protagonist's halo. However, how could a protagonist's halo not be a type of luck? If luck could materialize, then clearly, the protagonist's points had reached above the norm, and could even exceed the warning line.
Although it was hard to believe that Fan Zhishan could see luck, after thinking about it carefully, she had even come into contact with something that was even more illusory than the Heavenly Dao. And Realmspirit had even mentioned that the Heavenly Dao could be modified as well. Then, why couldn't something like luck be snatched?
Back then, when she met the female lead in the prison, she looked as though she wanted to snatch something. Later on, she even summoned that bug-formed weapon, and with just a wave of it, the divine brush on her body broke. Now that she thought about it, back then, a portion of the luck on her body should have been severed by her, which was why her cheat was disconnected. (To be continued)
