Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Goal: Dominate the Outer Sect!
With Yun Mengliâs Identity Token in hand, Luo Cheng traveled unimpeded along the way.
By the time he arrived at Mengli Peak, it was already evening.
Before his eyes stood a mountain towering thousands of meters high, rooted in the land. The peak was lush and majestic, shrouded in ethereal mists, with cascading waterfalls and spring-fed streams.
Atop the lofty summit were magnificent palaces, where white cranes danced and spiritual monkeys frolicked. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the buildings shimmered golden, like a celestial palace in the mortal world.
This mountain was bestowed upon Yun Mengli by the Xuanyuan Sect after she became a True Disciple, and she had named it Mengli Peak.
âAs expected of the residence of a True Disciple, even the Heaven and Earth Essence Energy at the foot of the mountain is this rich!â
Luo Cheng took a deep breath, feeling the Heaven and Earth Essence Energy here to be at least ten times more concentrated and pure than that of the Outer Sect!
If he were to cultivate here, there was no doubt his efforts would yield twice the result with half the effort!
As Luo Cheng neared the base of the mountain, he spotted from afar a peerlessly beautiful woman dressed in white.
Yun Mengli stood with her back to the sunset, her presence ethereal as if she were detached from the mortal world, like a Banished Immortal.
âSenior Sister Yun.â
Luo Cheng was momentarily dazed, then stepped forward to greet her.
Yun Mengli turned to look at Luo Cheng, her gaze penetrating as though it could see through his very soul. After a prolonged silence, she finally spoke:
âWhen I departed Qishan City, you had not yet advanced to the Transcendence Realm. At that time, I told you to come to Xuanyuan Sect only after reaching the Transcendence Realm. I didnât expect youâd surprise meâadvancing from the Body Tempering Extreme Realm to the Fifth Layer of the Transcendence Realm in just over a month!â
âWhatâs more, your vitality is vigorous, and your surging Essence Qi is like a raging tide. Your physique probably isnât far behind that of a Sixth Layer martial artist of the Transcendence Realm.â
âThis speed of advancementâeven I couldnât compare to it back then. How exactly did you cultivate?â
Luo Cheng harbored significant trust in Yun Mengli.
However, the secret of the Nine-colored Scale was far too astonishing to share. Scratching his head, he offered a pre-prepared excuse:
âPreviously, while wandering the Black Cloud Mountain Range, I happened upon a cavern where I discovered many Spirit Pills. After taking them, I felt an incredible surge of strength, and my cultivation speed improved significantly. Here, this is one of those Spirit Pills!â
Luo Cheng produced an Elixir Pill.
The pill was a pale golden hue, interwoven with faint crimson threads resembling human flesh and blood, radiating with a lifelike vitality.
This pill was something Luo Cheng had refined using the Nine-colored Scale and the Primordial Spirit Fruit.
âOh? Such pure medicinal power!â
Yun Mengli, upon seeing the pill, looked slightly astonished. She took it for closer inspection and nodded. âThis pill fuses the essence of the body and spirit for a martial artist, effectively serving as a sacred treasure for strengthening the very foundation and essence. Not to mention martial artists of the Transcendence Realmâeven martial artists of the Profound Third Realm could see their cultivation progress leap forward after taking it. With this pill aiding your cultivation, itâs no wonder your physique is so formidable.â
After returning the pill to Luo Cheng, Yun Mengli said:
âIt seems youâre a person of great fortune. With this pill laying your foundation, your physique will surpass most in the Outer Sect. However, remember: elixirs are external aids; donât become overly reliant on them.â
âThank you, Senior Sister, for the guidance.â
Seeing that Yun Mengli didnât probe further, Luo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, âSenior Sister Yun, did everything go smoothly when you went to the Punishment Hall?â
Yun Mengli responded, âNothing majorâjust a two-year restriction of movement within the sect.â
âRestricted for two years? Didnât you say there wouldnât be any problems?â
Luo Chengâs brow furrowed.
âJin Min invited Nangong Jue, another True Disciple, to join him in applying pressure. Even the Elders in the Punishment Hall couldnât turn a blind eye.â
Yun Mengli shook her head lightly and continued, âBut you neednât worry about it. The truth is, after my battle with Yuan Qingying, I won a treasure. I plan to use these two years for secluded cultivation. Whatâs moreâŠâ
Yun Mengli fixed her eyes on Luo Cheng and said, âNangong Jue and Jin Min are secretly backing the Outer Sect Elders who exploit the servant disciples, all to strengthen their own factions. This matter has ruffled their interests. They donât dare act against me directly, but they wonât spare you.â
âSo thatâs how it is⊠I wouldnât have guessed that Martial Arts Sects would also have such factional conflicts.â
Luo Cheng finally understood why Elder He and the others could act so brazenlyâit turned out there were people pulling the strings from behind!
âWhere there are people, there will always be rivalries, and Martial Arts Sects are no different from the world outside.â
Yun Mengli shook her head and continued:
âWith me here, they wonât attack you overtly, but their covert schemes will be many. Originally, I planned for you to reside at my Mengli Peak, but thatâs no longer possible. Their influence is vast, and theyâve gathered many talented disciples. You must tread carefully in the Outer Sect.â
Luo Cheng drew a deep breath, his expression resolute. âRest assured, Senior Sister. As long as itâs a contest between peers, I fear no one.â
âOh?â
Yun Mengli raised her elegant brows, a rare smile gracing her lips. âIt seems youâre not intimidated by the likes of Nangong Jue and Jin Min. Very good!â
âThe reason I announced publicly that I wouldnât intervene in your disputes with peers was, first, to silence Jin Min and the others; and second, to encourage you to confront talented peers head-on, pushing yourself forward without losing the sharpness of a martial artist.â
âCultivating the Martial Path is like sailing against the current. If a martial artist loses their edge and confidence, even a genius will find their spirit shackled, unable to achieve greatness. Seeing your confidence, Iâm reassured.â
As she spoke, Yun Mengli took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Luo Cheng.
âInside are Four-star Spirit Pills known as Awakening God Pills. They can nourish your Essence Qi, spirit, and mind, temporarily enhancing your comprehension.â
âUsing these pills alongside the ones you already possess will allow you to unleash your full potential.â
Luo Chengâs eyes lit up.
His comprehension ability was already exceptional, and with the Awakening God Pills, it would undoubtedly elevate his cultivation to even greater heights! These pills were pure treasures to him, utterly priceless.
In truth, as a type of Spirit Pill that could nurture the spirit, enhance comprehension, and bolster progress, Awakening God Pills were incredibly valuable. Even a typical Awakening Vein Realm expert would be tempted by them.
âThank you, Senior Sister!â
Luo Cheng carefully put the Awakening God Pills away.
Yun Mengli said, âYou awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, and yet I recommended you to join the sect, breaking conventions. Many are waiting to see me fail. But I trust my intuition.â
Luo Cheng declared, âRest assured, Senior Sister! I, Luo Cheng, will never let you down.â
Yun Mengli smiled faintly, her beauty unparalleled. âSince youâre so confident, start by earning the title of one of the Outer Sectâs Top Ten Disciples. Can you do it?â
âThe Outer Sectâs Top Ten Disciples?â
freeÏebnovÄl.c૊m
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng confidently replied, âYes!â
Yun Mengli had brought it up casually, but seeing Luo Chengâs serious intent, her interest was piqued, and a glimmer of intrigue danced in her eyes.
If Luo Cheng, with a Wasted Martial Soul, could indeed become one of the Outer Sectâs Top Ten Disciples, it would surely shock many and silence countless tongues!
âVery well, Iâm going into seclusion to cultivate. Now that youâve advanced to Outer Disciple, you can visit the Martial Storage Hall to select suitable cultivation techniques and martial arts.â
âAs for cultivation techniques, I recommend the Qingxuan Technique. It shares lineage with one of our sectâs strongest techniques, the Mountain and River Xuanming Skill, which will save you from transitioning later.â
Yun Mengli spoke earnestly.
With the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique in his possession, Luo Cheng naturally had no intention of cultivating other techniques.
Of course, he couldnât reveal this and merely agreed on the surface.
After bidding farewell to Yun Mengli, Luo Cheng returned to the Outer Sect.
Walking along the path, Luo Cheng gazed at the radiant sunset, replaying his conversation with Yun Mengli. His expression grew increasingly determined:
âAvenging the Ji Family is too distant a goal for now. For now, Iâll aim to dominate the Outer Sect!â
Yun Mengli merely hoped that Luo Cheng could strive to become one of the Outer Sectâs Top Ten Disciples.
Luo Chengâs ambition, however, went far beyond that.
If he was going to compete, then he would compete for the top spot!
Luo Cheng vowed to become the most powerful, invincible figure in the Outer Sectâan undisputed champion!
