Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 154: Who are you, beautiful lady?

At this moment, Zhou Junyang had a pained expression on his face.

The residual demonic energy on his face was causing an unbearable pain to his soul and body.

And when he realized that he had been disfigured and there was no temporary cure, he felt even more agonized.

Most cultivators care about their appearance.

If a cultivator looks more hideous and grotesque than a demon, it would be embarrassing to go out and meet people.

Although Zhou Junyang wasn't particularly interested in women and only focused on cultivation, he still cared about his image.

In his eyes, a cultivator should at least have a handsome appearance to exude a bit of celestial aura.

If one looks ordinary, then what's the difference between them and an ordinary person?

In recent years, he had been regarded as the male version of Li Haimeng in the eyes of the sect members. He had an extraordinary appearance, immense potential, and was highly regarded by the higher-ups of the sect.

He was also very humble, approachable, and deeply respected and loved by many fellow disciples.

Whenever he flew above the sect, there would always be people looking up at him, secretly envious of him.

He had everything - appearance, cultivation path, resources, and conduct. He was almost the perfect cultivator in the sect.

He enjoyed the feeling of being admired, envied, and respected.

But now, with such an ugly face, his perfect image as a cultivator was completely destroyed.

It was truly a heavy blow to him.

He felt an intense hatred towards Senior Sister Cai.

Li Haimeng and Xiao Yuying, upon seeing Zhou Junyang's predicament, also felt a sense of satisfaction.

They exchanged a glance with Chu Ming, understanding each other's thoughts, but didn't show any emotions on their faces.

If the three of them, who were considered useless on the surface, were to gloat over the misfortune of Zhou Junyang, it would be asking for trouble.

They might even be labeled as demonic cultivators, which would be even more troublesome.

So the three of them secretly enjoyed the situation.

A beautiful female disciple next to Zhou Junyang, seeing her admired senior brother in such a miserable state, was filled with righteous indignation.

She angrily said, "Cai Jie is too malicious and cunning. She deliberately wanted to retaliate against Senior Brother Zhou."

"She got off too easily by dying. Her family should be held accountable."

Other disciples who felt injustice also agreed one after another.

Zhou Junyang, after some thought, quickly dissuaded everyone from their intentions, saying, "We can't do that."

"This matter has nothing to do with her family. We shouldn't let them suffer unjustly."

A disciple from the Punishment Hall of the Chixiao Peak said, "Senior Brother Zhou, since she has become a demonic cultivator, her family must be involved in some shady business."

"When the time comes, the higher-ups will definitely arrange for severe interrogation. I can take revenge for you."

Zhou Junyang glanced at the Elder and said to the disciple from the Punishment Hall, "If it's really necessary, you can interrogate her with severe methods."

"But don't break the rules of the sect just to avenge me."

"A mere disfigurement is nothing to me."

"Since I can survive a great calamity, it means that this is just a small tribulation on my cultivation path. There's no need to care about it."

After hearing this, the disciples around Zhou Junyang were immediately convinced by his broad-mindedness and firm Dao heart.

The Elder also nodded approvingly, "Yes, not bad. It's good that you can think like this."

"The demonic energy has been temporarily sealed by my life-saving Gold Core and won't continue to spread."

"However, the pain caused to your body and soul cannot be alleviated. You can only rely on yourself to get through it."

Zhou Junyang firmly said, "Thank you, Elder, for saving my life."

"A little pain is insignificant to me as a disciple. I will work harder in my cultivation to repay my sect."

The Grand Elder and Luo Lie nodded in satisfaction.

At this critical moment for the sect's survival, they had lost many high-level cultivators and urgently needed a group of disciples with great potential to step forward.

Zhou Junyang had performed exceptionally well this week, and his potential was also enormous. He should be given special attention and cultivation.

The testing continued afterwards.

Although a large number of demonic cultivators had already been exposed, the Grand Elder and Luo Lie still proceeded with caution.

Sure enough, they discovered three demonic cultivators among the remaining people.

After being exposed, the three immediately self-destructed without giving any chance for questioning.

After strengthening the formation and conducting three consecutive tests to ensure that the remaining people were all fine, the Grand Elder announced the end of the internal testing.

Then, Luo Lie began the testing for the outer disciples, and the elders of the back mountain each left to continue their cultivation.

They didn't have much time left and would prefer to continue their seclusion unless the sect faced a major crisis.

Chu Ming now knew that there were no demonic cultivators left in Dao Sect.

Seeing the Grand Elder summon so many Core Formation Late Stage elders, he felt much more relieved.

Although there had been some trouble, Divine Will Sect's foundation was still intact.

The formations of the inner and outer sects had also been strengthened, so there shouldn't be any trouble for the time being.

As for Qi Ziheng and the others, since the old demon had arranged for them to infiltrate the sect, it was likely that their plan was to be executed within Divine Will Sect.

Especially when the old demon had tried to leave behind three inner disciples, it further proved this point.

So as long as they couldn't break into Divine Will Sect, the seal of the old demon should remain intact.

Even if a real fight broke out, they had someone strong to rely on, so they could still cultivate in peace for a while.

Afterwards, the Grand Elder began to announce the events that had occurred within the sect.

From the sect master's seclusion, to the exposure of demonic cultivators, and the possible identity issues of the Five Elements Elders.

Everyone in the sect was shocked to hear this.

They never expected such a major upheaval to occur within the sect.

And when they heard that the elder of the Punishment Hall might have been killed by those five traitors, they were once again filled with fear.

The Grand Elder then arranged for new appointments of elders. Li Haimeng's junior sister, Elder Cai'er, was appointed as the Peak Elder of Piaomiao Peak.

Zhou Junyang's master, Elder Chihuo, was appointed as the Peak Elder of Chixiao Peak.

Elder Tang of the Pill Refining Pavilion was appointed as the Peak Elder of Azure Spirit Peak.

...

After that, the resources allocated to important halls such as the Martial Hall and the Punishment Hall were increased, while the resources allocated to logistical halls such as the Ceremony Hall and the Farming Hall were reduced by more than half.

The meaning was clear: they wanted to enhance the sect's combat power to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

As a result, most of the inner disciples could only choose to join the Punishment Hall and the Martial Hall, otherwise, the resources would be completely insufficient.

The resources allocated to the Pill Refining Pavilion disciples were also greatly reduced, leaving only eighty percent of what they had before.

Chu Ming didn't care at all. He had more than enough cultivation resources, and supporting a large family was not a problem.

Li Haimeng had long since left the Martial Hall, using the curse as an excuse. It was reasonable for him not to join the Martial Hall.

Half an hour later, the Grand Elder had informed everyone of all the matters and the crowd dispersed.

Chu Ming and his two wives returned to their Cave Mansion. After some communication, they continued with their respective cultivation.

Chu Ming teleported to the lakeside in his spatial realm and just sat down to cultivate the Five Elements Art when suddenly a person appeared by the lake.

"You're finally back!"

He was startled by the sudden movement.

Turning his head, he saw a strange and beautiful young girl lying by the lake.

"Hmm? Who are you, beautiful lady?"
