Gazing at the bubbling spring before him, Tan Siyuan pondered deeply, unable to understand why Minghong was so concerned about Shixin Wei being pressured. It made no sense that they would join forces with the Nine Nether Cultivator to eliminate Hong Yulong.
Not only was Tan Siyuan perplexed by Minghong, but even Wen Tian, who had heard the news from Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, could only smile wryly without finding the words to express himself. Regarding the elimination of Hong Yulong, Wen Tian couldn't deny that he had his suspicions. After all, they were all part of the Harmony Society, an organization formed around shared ideals. Wen Tian knew that aside from Xiazhi, there were likely more than one Light Path Cultivator within the Harmony Society. Even Coco from the Harmony Society might be a hidden pawn of the Light Path Classic in the academy. Without evidence, he couldn't be certain. If Yan Dong were to expel Hong Yulong, and if Wen Ren allied with Ye Youluo, Wen Tian feared that Wen Ren might also be a hidden piece of the Light Path Classic. A genius at the Infant Stage—if Wen Ren were to betray the academy again, it would spell disaster for the Harmony Society's standing within the academy, and Yan Dong's situation wouldn't improve either.
Why hadn't Wen Shixiong come over?
Tan Siyuan gently cupped some water in his hands to wash Yi Dong's dry face after passing through the arid Desert Sea secret realm. He felt no discomfort as he changed into a fresh outfit by the hot spring lake, simply rinsing his dust-covered robe in the water.
Why was his junior sister thinking of him?
Hearing that familiar voice, Wen Tian sighed deeply and looked seriously at Wen Ren, filled with questions he didn't know how to ask.
Am I not one of the Light Path Classic people?
No. Sitting on the grass by the lake, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, spoke directly without a hint of a smile on his face.
Yes, from the very beginning I wasn't. During that time, I was grateful for my senior brother's care.
Wen Ren's smile was tinged with bitterness. He knew that no one felt worse than Yan Dong—the person who had watched him grow up. The two had entered the academy just two years apart; one was a fresh novice while the other had already begun to shine as a talented individual known outside Mok Ming Academy. A chance encounter during an external training session brought them together.
Later on, under Tenglan's leadership, Wen Ren steadily became a pillar within Mok Ming Academy. Although he didn't shine as brightly as Tenglan, he still achieved much and became a model for new disciples and Outer Sect Disciples alike.
Who else was there?
Tenglan didn't want to get entangled with Wen Ren any longer; the deeper he got involved, the more pain he would endure.
Zhang Qian—he was the only one left; everyone else was merely a distraction. Given Yan Dong's situation, it would be somewhat embarrassing for senior brother Wen Ren to say too much. But if Zhang Qian didn’t speak up, how would he manage?
Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, coldly stared at Wen Ren. In the blink of an eye, Wen Ren realized that the sword in Tenglan's leg was already poised against his neck, just a finger's breadth away.
"Senior Brother!"
"Big Brother!"
Wen Tian and Tan Siyuan exclaimed simultaneously, their different titles reflecting Tenglan's status in their hearts, or perhaps his standing among the two generations of the academy.
Tenglan's right leg, gripping the sword, trembled slightly. Yi Dong gritted his teeth and fiercely swung out a menacing arc of sword light to his right, severing all the trees along a path that extended for dozens of meters before dissipating into the air.
"What should I do?" Jie Donglai asked.
The news of the Nine Nether Invasion had cost him his life. It was a certainty spoken by Ye Youluo himself. After the Sky East Tournament, it seemed there would be a Great War between the Light Path Classic and the Six Great Sects. Bu Luo would seek to confront Bu Luo's four Daoist Sects, and the outcome was uncertain.
"Does the Light Path Classic have immortals in the Eastern Realm?"
Although it was said that a dead camel is larger than a horse, Yan Dong's situation within the Light Path Classic had already leaked everywhere. If they were to insist on seeking an immortal like Dong Fan from the Heavenly Realm, it would only make their situation more precarious. It was unclear what sacrifices the Light Path Classic would have to make.
The Starlight Pen was unique; its purpose was to engrave the Starlight Seal. However, in The Book of Radiant Path, inscribing iron laws could rewrite its principles. After Zun Wei Guangming completed writing The Book of Radiant Path, he left the Starlight Pen in Dust Realm to prevent it from falling into enemy hands after chaos erupted in the Heavenly Realm.
Wen Ren did not speak further; the significance of the Starlight Pen's connection to the Light Path Classic was already evident. With the decline of the Light Path Classic and betrayal from its disciples, that secret had likely spread. If someone knew about it, they might use the Starlight Pen as bait to lure the Light Path Classic into a trap, forcing them into a desperate situation.
The academy would not intervene; at least not Master-Disciple Lineage would not. So be it; after the Sky East Tournament concluded, there would be no more Zunxiong or Wen Ren in the academy.
Zunxiong was Wen Ren's Dao title, one that belonged to a mid-level practitioner. Wen Ren's master had encountered a demonic cultivator who had survived through remnants of Demonic Path cultivation during his fifth year as an apprentice. They perished together in battle, and before dying, he returned his Identity Jade Token to the academy, leaving all his knowledge to his only disciple, Anran Li.
The four present understood that this was already Tenglan's greatest promise. As for Harmony Society’s members, Tenglan could do nothing more for them.
Thank you, Senior Brother. Those years, I have no regrets.
In Wen Ren's heart, there is only one person who can be called the Senior Brother of the academy, and that is Tenglan, known as Zhongshang.
Let me share my secret and see if their collaboration can continue.
Ye Youluo and Gu traveled alone on the road, while Jiang Anbo hurried to Thunderstorm Pavilion after Wen Ren left. Liu Dong was entangled with Ye Youluo, playing the role that could stop a child's crying.
The towering tree behind Cheng Dao Sect has probably already fallen.
As Ye Youluo moved forward, he shook his head and smirked. Some matters had long been known to him as part of his layout in the Three Realms. After all, among all of Tiandong, he was the only one who could converse with both Youluo and Hades.
I didn't want to pry into his words; there was really nothing I needed to ask. What he wanted to know was where that scroll of parchment containing the Cultivation Method came from. As for the matters between Dao Zun and him, what did it have to do with him?
It seemed I had already known. Gu scratched his head; he indeed wasn't trying to extract information. When he saw that Ye Youluo showed no surprise at all, he realized his guess was wrong. The five great masters were besieging Wei Guangming, among whom the one from Jade Void Sect blocked Wei Guangming's friend, who was from Mok Ming Academy. The remaining three—Youluo, Hades, and Chaos—could all be associated with darkness. Dark Law had always been considered part of the Demonic Path, so it wasn't surprising that there were few Dark Dao Zun or even Great Immortals. Wasn't it curious why those three sought to jointly besiege Zun Wei Guangming of the Light Path Classic?
Opposite spiritual power?
Ye Youluo frowned slightly and then took the half-scroll of parchment that Gu handed over. He gently stroked the patterns on its surface and used his Divine Sense to piece together the images from both scrolls.
No, opposite spiritual power? Didn't it seem incredible that he completed something in just four years that many couldn't achieve in a lifetime? Now everything could be explained.
The pattern on the parchment was a gift from Yin Tianheng in Yin Wind Gorge to Gu, kept within a piece of jade pendant. Gu had taken out the chaotic and light powers during idle times to copy several versions while contemplating them for his own cultivation as a reference. If I don't deny it, then fulfilling my promise would mean that such things might not even be shown to them even if I truly became an immortal.
But...
Ye Youluo pondered for a moment but said nothing. It is well-known in the Cultivation World that those with opposite spiritual roots are undoubtedly useless; they can never establish a foundation in their lifetime. That is the most fundamental aspect of the Cultivation World.
Yan Dong was a living example right before him, leaving no room for doubt. Otherwise, no matter what they said, Ye Youluo would never believe it.
Where did it come from?
That depended on whether Jie Donglai could help him get the Starlight Pen. The people from Light Path Classic had no good intentions; it would be better to keep quiet with me. Jiang Anbo hadn’t told him the true purpose of the Starlight Pen, which had been linked to nearly all of Light Path Classic's hidden stakes in recent years. He didn’t think it was just a matter of stamping a seal.
The only thing that could modify the rules in The Book of Radiant Path was the Starlight Pen.
Ye Youluo felt that merely getting news from Hong Yulong about his exit was not worth the trouble; if he shared what he knew with Gu, he wouldn’t owe Gu any favors.
He knew that Bu Luo smiled insincerely. "I’m not a woman," he thought. "That Adam's apple, with my clothes—tch, tch, tch. If I let my hair down, I’d definitely be a great beauty. Haha."
The Book of Radiant Path was on my lap, and the Chaos Pearl was also on my lap. Truly a unique blessing.
Ignoring Gu's tsking sounds, Ye Youluo didn’t pay any attention. Unbeknownst to her, her face had turned slightly red, leaving Gu completely dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.
What am I looking at?
Look at me.
As soon as Gu spoke, he realized something was off. Bu Luo and Ye Youluo clearly had no intention of seeking peace regarding that matter; she lightly snorted at Yi Dong.
If he were a woman, even the Nine Nether Cultivators wouldn’t listen to him. If he were a man, even two Daoist Masters would be wary of him despite being an immortal who surpassed even immortals. So I think he’s a man—could he be a woman?
