Chapter 135: New Storm (Fifth Update)

"Where is the cultivation technique?"

Bai Qiulan asked.

Sun Ruowei handed the *Charming Maiden's Extreme Yin Scripture* to Bai Qiulan.

But Yue Hongling suddenly snatched the *Charming Maiden's Extreme Yin Scripture* away.

"Master, what are you trying to do?" Yue Hongling asked warily.

"Shen Xitong must have ill intentions. I want to destroy this technique to avoid falling into her trap!" Bai Qiulan said.

"Master, there’s no need to rush. Let me take a look at the technique first—it won’t hurt."

"Hong Ling, you mustn’t! That Shen Xitong is absolutely no good. If you read it, you’ll definitely fall for her scheme!"

"Master, don’t worry. I’m very level-headed—I won’t be fooled!"

"You!"

...

Eternal Sect!

At this moment, the atmosphere within the Eternal Sect was somewhat oppressive.

Powerful figures sat in the grand hall, exuding overwhelming auras.

The Eternal Sect did not have many members, but each was undoubtedly a powerhouse. Any one of them stepping out could shake the entire Great Wilderness three times over.

"Who would have thought that the Great Dao Sect could actually repel the Allied Races? A single Lu Ye single-handedly turned the tide of battle," an elder of the Eternal Sect slowly remarked.

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the Eternal Hall grew even heavier.

It could be said that the Eternal Sect’s failure to act against the Allied Races had left many among humanity deeply disappointed.

The world had held the Eternal Sect in the highest regard—one sect above three dynasties and five sects, supreme under heaven and earth.

The Eternal Sect was supposed to lead the way.

Yet when the Allied Races invaded, they faltered.

They contributed nothing.

Truly, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Meanwhile, the Great Dao Sect turned the tide, annihilating the vast majority of the Allied Races while suffering minimal losses themselves.

In an instant, the Great Dao Sect’s status and prestige soared across the Great Wilderness.

Now, a new saying had begun to spread:

*The Avenue comes before the Eternal, one dynasty and three sects—do Heaven and Underworld still stand?*

The meaning was clear—the Great Dao Sect now stood above the Eternal Sect. In the Great Wilderness, there was one imperial dynasty and three sects. Did the Heavenly Pavilion and the Underworld even exist anymore?

Mockery.

Barefaced mockery.

Ironically, the spread of this saying has grown increasingly widespread.

If it weren't for the fact that the YinYang Law Sect suffered no losses of strong members during the recent demonic alliance invasion, they would have been outright delisted had even a single one fallen.

The Eternal Sect has no effective counter to this.

A sect's prestige is earned through battle, not self-praise.

The Eternal Sect cannot force the world to place it above others.

Amidst the silence.

A tall figure clad in ornate robes entered, his formal attire indicating he had just met someone of great importance.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

The assembly rose in unison.

Unlike other sects that select suitable leaders like Liu Changfeng or Li Wuyue—where the Sect Leader's primary duty is guiding the sect to prosperity rather than cultivation—the Eternal Sect is different.

The Eternal Sect's leader has always been its strongest member, as only the mightiest can establish clearer communication with the Second Heaven.

"We've contacted the upper realm. They've issued tasks and provided resources," Feng Changye announced.

The crowd stirred.

Tasks mattered little; the key lay in the upper realm's resources.

"First task: Capture Chu Ling, publicly torment her to lure out Lu Ye!"

"Second task: Kill Lu Ye!"

Upon hearing these tasks, over half the hall paled.

Lu Ye's might was seared into their minds.

Reports stated even the Celestial Demon Emperor was slain by a single punch from Lu Ye. Though the Eternal Sect boasts no fewer than five experts rivaling the emperor, against Lu Ye, they might last only five punches.

How to fight?

"Lu Ye's displayed strength is overwhelming. Even our full force may prove inadequate," a elder immediately voiced.

"The upper realm has a solution."

He produced two pills.

"One is the Tribulation Transcendence Pill—its effects need no introduction."

The mere mention ignited fervent gazes.

This pill boosts transcendence success rates by at least twenty percent—an invaluable treasure nearly impossible to craft in the First Heaven due to extinct ingredients.

"The second is the Heaven-Concealing Pill. It allows successful Transcendents to remain in the First Heaven for ten days!"

Normally, post-transcendence ascension to the Great Ascension realm is immediate.

The power of ascension from the Second Heaven would immediately manifest.

This is why there are no Great Ascension Realm cultivators in the First Heaven.

The Nine Heavens Sage truly detests the slaughter of the weak by the strong.

Thus, the management of ascension is extremely strict.

You’ve reached the Great Ascension Realm?

Get out!

Leave immediately!

Not a single extra minute is allowed.

However, where there are policies, there are countermeasures—hence the emergence of the Heavenly Pill.

Of course, this pill is even more precious than the Tribulation Pill.

An invincible figure lingering in this world for ten extra days—just imagine how terrifying that would be.

"There are other things, but I won’t elaborate further. However, with both the Tribulation Pill and Heavenly Pill presented, you should all understand just how determined the higher-ups are to kill this Lu Ye."

"Now, speak freely—share your thoughts!"

A elder immediately stood up. He had already reached the eighth level of the Tribulation Realm but had hesitated to break through to the ninth level due to his lack of confidence in overcoming the tribulation.

Otherwise, he would have already advanced.

Now, with this Tribulation Pill, he was willing to stake his life.

"I will kill Lu Ye!"

That was his stance.

"Good!"

Feng Changye wasted no words, tossing a Tribulation Pill and a Heavenly Pill to the elder.

"I can also take action!"

A ninth-level Tribulation cultivator spoke up.

"Good!"

"I—I can too!"

"Elder Niu, you’re only at the first level of the Tribulation Realm. Better sit this one out..."

"What’s wrong with being at the first level? I can still undergo tribulation! Give me a Tribulation Pill, and I’ll break through right now, then go kill that Lu Ye!"

Feng Changye shook his head.

"You’re not qualified. At the very least, you must be a peak Tribulation Realm cultivator."

"There are still three Tribulation Pills and three Heavenly Pills left. Any more takers?"

"Me!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

In an instant, three people responded.

Feng Changye kept two pills for himself.

"Since that's the case, let's capture Chu Ling first. Once we have her, we can lure Lu Ye out!"

"The higher-ups have declared that if this mission succeeds, everyone will be rewarded—no less than the Tribulation Transcendence Pill—to aid your path to enlightenment!"

"Yes!"

The Eternal Sect, move out!
