Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

This question reminded Gu Ling. In her early years, she had met a cultivator with a furnace-cauldron physique. At that time, that cultivator was already a master of the Spirit Transformation Stage who was capable of ruling a small sect. However, because his physique was exposed, he was chased by various forces.

Everyone went crazy and fought fiercely for this "treasure" that was worth the price of a Divine Transformation Stage cultivation level. The scene was extremely tragic.

The fate of cultivators with furnace-cauldron constitution is either to be kept in captivity for cultivation and become a cultivation machine without dignity, or -

dead.

In fact, there is a compromise, which is to become a demon cultivator.

Firstly, ordinary cultivators cannot absorb demonic energy; secondly, demonic energy is violent and difficult to control, and cannot enter other people's bodies through sexual intercourse.

It’s just that demonic cultivators tend to go to extremes easily. If they cannot accept their dirty desires from the bottom of their hearts, they will eventually lose themselves and become killing machines. Then what is the difference between them and the walking dead?

Gu Ling still remembered that cultivator, she was a very beautiful female cultivator.

It was a cloudless day with a fresh breeze. The female cultivator, her body covered in blood, looked up at the sun, and then with a "boom" she turned into flying dust.

She gained her dignity at the cost of her own self-destruction, and dragged a few unlucky people close to her into hell with her.

She dragged a few people down with her, so she got some revenge.

But she shouldn't have died.

Thinking of this, Gu Ling's tone was a little low: "After they take the Seven Yuan Flower, they can not only absorb the spiritual power in the Seven Yuan Flower, but also increase their cultivation speed. But before they completely absorb the spiritual power of the Seven Yuan Flower, they will emit the fragrance of the Seven Yuan Flower. But they can't smell the smell of the Seven Yuan Flower emanating from their bodies."

"They... probably won't like something that would expose their physique."

Seven Yuan Flower...

It turned out to be exposed so early.

Jiang Shuning looked at the teacup on the table and saw his own eyes through the clear tea.

Her eyelashes are clearly visible, her eyes are long and narrow, her light brown pupils appear a little cold, and the slightly curved corners of her eyes have a certain indescribable charm.

The pair of light brown eyes were gradually covered with a thin layer of ice, freezing all the emotions inside.

He heard his own voice, which was shallow and calm, as if it came from far away.

"Senior, my first request is——"

"Kill the third elder."

……

The sect's great battle arrived as expected. Jiang Shuning picked an inner disciple to challenge and successfully replaced the other's seat, but this did not mean the end.

From the moment the challenge was successful, it meant that Jiang Shuning became an inner disciple, so the outer disciples could also challenge him.

How to keep your seat is the key to the sect competition.

It is obviously much easier to challenge the outer disciples who have just been promoted than to challenge the inner disciples who have no idea of ​​their own limits.

However, before they could challenge Jiang Shuning, Jiang Shuning first challenged the inner disciple ranked 50th.

In previous sect competitions, outer disciples who wanted to be promoted would only challenge inner disciples outside the top 200. There was no one like Jiang Shuning who was so ignorant of the world.

Facing the mocking and sarcastic gazes of the crowd, Jiang Shuning stepped onto the stage and smiled: "Please give me some advice."

At the same time, in the cave of the third elder.

The third elder's body fell to the ground with a thud. Gu Ling stepped on the jade token, and his spiritual power vibrated, crushing the token into pieces.

The jade token belongs to the third elder. When its owner dies, the token will break into pieces. The token can also transmit the owner's last moments before death back to the sect, making it easier for the sect to identify the murderer.

Just now, Gu Ling completely cut off the jade token's chance to transmit the message.

Gu Ling's solid figure became ethereal again. She walked out and was about to leave when she suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation of spiritual power.

She turned her head and looked at the direction of the forbidden area in the back mountain. The barrier there had become weaker.

The barrier of the forbidden area in the back mountain was set up by the nine people at the beginning. On the one hand, it could prevent outsiders from entering and discovering the secrets inside, and on the other hand, it could imprison the soul of the original owner so that she could not leave.

Gu Ling's soul is powerful, so he can leave the barrier directly.

She could not understand how this barrier was set up, as it could imprison the soul of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Now, she seemed to understand a little.

Gu Ling took one last look at the Third Elder’s body before his soul turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

I wonder how Jiang Shuning’s game went, she has to go and see.

She fulfilled one of the boy's requests, and it was time for him to do something for her mission.

……

The forbidden area behind the mountain.

The eight people who hurried over looked at each other with dark faces. Sect Master Dao Yun frowned and asked, "Where is the third elder?"

No one answered, but everyone already had a vague answer in their hearts.

The forbidden area's barrier is drawn from the nine people's heart blood and is constructed with the energy from the entire Tianqing Sect's earth veins.

There is no problem with the Tianqing Sect's veins, and they have even become stronger. There is only one possibility for the weakening of the barrier: the owner of a certain heart blood has died.

"There's no need to explain the obvious things, Sect Master. I'll send someone to investigate the Third Elder's incident right away," said the Fifth Elder.

Dao Yun nodded, and the fifth elder left quickly. The others started talking one after another: "The barrier has weakened. Will the person inside take the opportunity to come out? Should we find a way to reinforce the barrier?"

The Great Elder: "How can it be so easy to reinforce the barrier? In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to kill her first. Otherwise, when she comes out, how can we survive?"

"You're crazy! Is she that easy to kill? The barrier is just a little weak, she may not be able to get out."

"Don't forget the thunder three months ago." The Great Elder snorted coldly, "You all know what has happened in the sect recently. Her strength has increased again."

Everyone fell silent.

The thunder from the sky three months ago was obviously the thunder of tribulation, but there has never been thunder of tribulation that just struck and dispersed, which made people puzzled.

However, the spiritual power in the sect surged. It was thought that when Gu Ling was undergoing the tribulation, his spiritual power was transferred to the Tianqing Sect's veins, causing his realm to drop and causing the thunder to dissipate.

Thinking of this, everyone's expression became a little subtle.

The Xuanling Chain cannot actually transport all of Gu Ling's spiritual power, but it controls a limit. Only spiritual power that exceeds this limit will be transported to the earth veins through the Xuanling Chain.

They guessed that Gu Ling had been suppressing his cultivation until now, and only on the day of the tribulation did he frantically absorb spiritual energy to prepare for the tribulation, but he still could not match the transmission speed of the Xuanling Chain.

What kind of monster could reach the threshold of ascension under such circumstances?

If there was no Xuanling Chain, would Gu Ling have already ascended?

They were even more wary of Gu Ling. The Great Elder's proposal made many people eager to take action, but it was just a thought.

Dao Yun looked at the expressions of the crowd and said, "It's not so easy to kill a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. To achieve this, it's better to think about how to strengthen the barrier. In addition, the matter of the Third Elder has not been investigated clearly. Everyone should go back first. The sect competition is not over yet."

Several people left one after another. Dao Yun took a look at the deep forbidden area, suppressed his inner uneasiness, and left as well.

……

"The competition is over?"

Jiang Shuning heard Gu Ling's voice transmission, lowered his eyes slightly, and replied in the same voice transmission: "The sect master and the elders suddenly left due to an urgent matter. We have to wait for them to come back to confirm the final ranking."

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did they leave because of the death of the Third Elder?"

"Yes and no." Gu Ling talked about another matter, "How was your performance?"

"When the elders come back, someone should be willing to take me in as a disciple."

After Jiang Shuning defeated the 50th ranked inner disciple, he directly challenged the 20th ranked disciple and narrowly won.

Everyone was waiting for him to challenge a higher-ranking disciple, but he didn't.

His target was not the twentieth place. The reason he challenged that disciple was just to shock most people with his powerful strength and reduce the number of people who challenged him.

Sure enough, when he didn't move, others did. Due to the strength displayed by Jiang Shuning, most people thought they could not beat him and few challenged him.

He was able to preserve his fighting power and eventually secured his position as an inner disciple with the 35th place.

Above the inner sect there is the true teaching, and those true disciples are the real chosen ones.

They don't have to participate in the sect competition as countless resources are tilted towards them, and their stage is not limited to the Tianqing Sect.

If you want to become a true disciple, you must first have a master.

Jiang Shuning's preferred master is the Fifth Elder, who is famous for his low profile and elixirs.

Gu Ling: "Jiang Shuning, did you know that there is a Xuanling Master in the Tianqing Sect?"
