Yun Yichen decided to leverage his influence and abilities to drive a series of reforms within the Lingyuan Sect, aiming to establish it as the undisputed leading sect in the Lingyuan Realm.
Upon returning to the Lingyuan Sect, Yun Yichen engaged in in-depth discussions with the Sect Master and the elders. He proposed a series of bold reform suggestions, including optimizing the allocation of cultivation resources, innovating teaching methods, and strengthening communication and cooperation with other sects. The Sect Master and elders took Yun Yichen's proposals seriously, and after multiple discussions, they decided to fully support his reform plans.
In terms of resource allocation, Yun Yichen broke away from the traditional seniority-based system. Instead, resources were distributed based on disciples' cultivation progress, talent, and contributions to the sect. This approach allowed diligent and promising disciples to receive more resources, significantly boosting their motivation for cultivation. Additionally, Yun Yichen utilized his connections to secure more external cultivation resources for the Lingyuan Sect, such as precious spiritual mine extraction rights and rare alchemical formulas, further enriching the sect's resource reserves.
The innovation of teaching methods was key to the Lingyuan Sect's transformation. Drawing from his own cultivation experience, Yun Yichen proposed a combination of theory and practice in teaching. He established several practical training grounds within the Lingyuan Sect and regularly organized combat drills for disciples. During these drills, disciples could not only test their cultivation results but also learn how to flexibly apply their skills and Lingwen techniques in real combat situations. Furthermore, Yun Yichen invited several renowned experts from the Lingyuan Realm to give lectures at the sect, sharing their insights on cultivation and combat experiences, thus broadening the disciples' horizons.
To enhance communication and cooperation with other sects, Yun Yichen actively facilitated connections. He organized regular exchange activities between the Lingyuan Sect and several other major cultivation sects, including joint training sessions, academic discussions, and disciple exchanges. Through these activities, disciples from the Lingyuan Sect learned from the strengths of other sects while also spreading the excellent culture and achievements of their own sect, thereby elevating its reputation and influence within the Lingyuan Realm.
During this transformative period at the Lingyuan Sect, Su Yao underwent significant changes as well. Once regarded as a talented female disciple with outstanding abilities but a somewhat arrogant personality, her acquaintance with Yun Yichen gradually made her aware of her shortcomings while also recognizing his admirable qualities. After experiencing the life-and-death trials during the Lingyuan Catastrophe, Su Yao became more mature and composed.
Su Yao actively participated in the reform efforts of the Lingyuan Sect. Utilizing her expertise in Lingwen and swordsmanship, she assisted Yun Yichen in developing new teaching plans. In the practical training grounds, Su Yao often personally guided disciples in sword techniques and Lingwen coordination skills. She patiently explained the essentials of each movement and shared her experiences from battles. The disciples held great respect for Su Yao's teachings; under her guidance, many showed significant improvement in their abilities.
As Su Yao collaborated with Yun Yichen, her feelings for him deepened. They strategized together for the development of the Lingyuan Sect and faced various challenges encountered during the reforms side by side. Throughout this process, Su Yao witnessed Yun Yichen's wisdom, courage, and sense of responsibility; her admiration for him grew stronger. Likewise, Yun Yichen recognized Su Yao's efforts and changes, becoming more affectionate towards her. Their relationship evolved from initial conflicts and misunderstandings into a profound bond characterized by mutual appreciation and support.
Su Yao also actively engaged in exchange activities with other sects on behalf of the Lingyuan Sect. With her exceptional swordsmanship and graceful demeanor, she garnered praise from disciples of other sects during these exchanges. Through interactions with other sects, she not only showcased the splendor of the Lingyuan Sect but also learned many new skills and knowledge. Upon returning to the Lingyuan Sect, she shared what she had learned with fellow disciples, further promoting its development.
Thanks to the efforts of Yun Yichen and Su Yao among others, significant achievements were made in transforming the Lingyuan Sect. During this process, Yun Yichen combined traditional cultivation methods with his unique understanding of Lingwen to create an entirely new cultivation system—Lingyuan Lingwen Jue.
The Lingyuan Lingwen Jue integrates techniques for absorbing Spiritual Energy from the Lingyuan Sect with applications of Lingwen power to form a distinctive cultivation method. Practitioners can efficiently absorb Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth through this system and convert it into Lingwen power to enhance their strength. This cultivation system is structured into multiple levels, each with detailed methods and goals ranging from initial perception of Lingwen and condensation of Spiritual Energy to later integration of Lingwen and explosive power; every step is closely interconnected.
Yun Yichen promoted the Lingyuan Lingwen Jue within the sect by personally explaining key points of cultivation to disciples and demonstrating processes. The disciples were filled with curiosity and enthusiasm for this new system and eagerly immersed themselves in practice. Under Yun Yichen's guidance, many disciples achieved breakthroughs while cultivating through the Lingyuan Lingwen Jue, significantly enhancing their strength.
The emergence of the Lingyuan Lingwen Jue not only improved the overall strength of disciples at the Lingyuan Sect but also attracted attention from other sects within the Lingyuan Realm. Some sect leaders and elders personally visited the Lingyuan Sect to consult Yun Yichen about its mysteries. Generously sharing his research findings with them fostered cultural exchange and development within cultivation practices across the realm.
As awareness and application of the Lingyuan Lingwen Jue spread, the position of the Lingyuan Sect within the realm became increasingly solidified. More cultivators came seeking to join the sect to learn this unique cultivation system. The Lingyuan Sect entered an unprecedented period of prosperity, emerging as a leader among numerous sects in the Lingyuan Realm—truly achieving its rise.
Under Yun Yichen's leadership, the Lingyuan Sect thrived while peace and prosperity gradually returned to the Lingyuan Realm. However, beneath this harmonious surface lurked a mysterious force that was quietly rising.
Members of this mysterious force always donned black robes with their faces obscured by black masks; they operated with extreme secrecy. They moved stealthily throughout various locations in the Lingyuan Realm—frequently appearing in areas rich in Spiritual Energy or ancient ruins—seemingly searching for something. Wherever they went left behind strange traces that resembled special symbols or mysterious markings; yet no one within the realm could decipher their meanings.
Yun Yichen first learned about this mysterious force from a disciple who had returned from an expedition outside. The disciple described with terror: "Sect Master, I saw a group of black-clad individuals in Misty Forest; their strength was formidable and their actions were bizarre. I hid in darkness while observing them studying something before an ancient ruin; I dared not approach them but could only leave quietly."
