26: Cultivating the Heavenly Yang Technique

"Withdraw your aura immediately. From today onwards, you must not expose your cultivation again. I will take you to see the Sect Master now," Elder Chen said in a serious tone, his eyes filled with a hint of urgency.

Upon hearing this, Shi Feng immediately withdrew his Profound Extreme Realm aura and obediently followed behind Elder Chen. The group soon arrived at the Sect's Main Hall. At this time, the Tianyang Sect's Sect Master, Chu Tianyang, was discussing Sect matters with the other Elders.

Shortly after, Chu Tianyang learned that Elder Chen had urgent business to report and allowed him to bring the children into the Council Chamber. When Chu Tianyang and the Elders saw Elder Chen entering with several children, puzzled expressions appeared on their faces.

Chu Tianyang frowned and asked, "Elder Chen, what is going on? Weren't you in charge of the recruitment testing for new Disciples?"

Shen Sheng, the Grand Elder of the Tianyang Sect, snorted coldly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction. "Elder Chen, I learned half an hour ago that you unilaterally decided that the Tianyang Sect would no longer participate in the selection of new Disciples for the coming year. Do you know how serious the consequences are for doing something so detrimental to the Sect!"

Elder Chen's expression remained calm as he nodded. "That's correct. I will give the Sect a satisfactory explanation."

Shen Sheng sneered aggressively, "Then tell us, what kind of explanation will you give?"

Elder Chen said solemnly, "Sect Master, I wish to explain this matter to you alone, as it is of great importance."

"Hmm?" Chu Tianyang's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "In that case, everyone else leave for now!"

Shen Sheng, however, was relentless, his tone sharp. "I see no need for an explanation. Making such a decision is equivalent to betraying the Sect. I suggest we directly cripple his cultivation and expel him from the Sect!"

Hearing this, Elder Chen sneered and retorted bluntly, "Heh! It is truly a tragedy for a Sect to have such a narrow-minded Grand Elder like you!"

"How dare you! A mere Outer Sect Elder dares to question the decisions of the Sect's high-ranking officials? I will cripple you right now!" Shen Sheng flew into a rage and raised his hand to strike.

"Stop!" Chu Tianyang shouted, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority. "All of you, leave!"

"Sect Master! He is clearly..." Shen Sheng still wanted to argue.

"Leave! Have you been the Grand Elder for a bit too long?" Chu Tianyang gave him a cold look.

Intimidated by Chu Tianyang's gaze, Shen Sheng immediately ceased his insolence. He could only grit his teeth and say, "I... I will leave now!" After speaking, he left the Council Chamber in a huff.

The others also withdrew one after another, leaving only Chu Tianyang, Elder Chen, and the four children, including Jiang Ye, in the Council Chamber.

Chu Tianyang looked at Elder Chen and said calmly, "Speak."

Elder Chen took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Reporting to the Sect Master, I have just recruited these three children. They now wish to practice our Heavenly Sun Art."

"Hmm?" Chu Tianyang was taken aback, then frowned. "Don't you know the requirements for practicing the Heavenly Sun Art? You're letting children practice it?"

Elder Chen did not answer directly but looked at Shi Feng and said, "Show your Realm!"

"Hmm?" Chu Tianyang looked at Shi Feng in confusion.

Boom! Without hesitation, Shi Feng erupted with his Profound Extreme Realm aura, and powerful waves of Profound Qi instantly filled the entire Council Chamber.

Chu Tianyang felt the Profound Extreme Realm aura and was shocked to find it coming from a child. He suddenly stood up from his seat.

"How many others know about this?" Chu Tianyang asked in a low voice.

"No one. I just found out myself," Elder Chen answered truthfully.

Chu Tianyang took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and looked at Jiang Ye and the others, slowly asking, "You wish to practice the Heavenly Sun Art?"

The group nodded in unison, and Jiang Ye took a step forward, his tone firm. "Yes! We need to become stronger and continuously break through Realms."

Chu Tianyang pondered for a moment before nodding. "Very well! However, I have a condition. I know you won't stay in the Tianyang Sect forever, but before you grow up and leave, if the Sect needs your help, I hope you won't refuse. In the future, when you have achieved success in your cultivation, I hope that for the sake of having been Tianyang Sect Disciples, you will ensure the Sect's stability."

Jiang Ye nodded without hesitation. "Fine! We promise you."

Chu Tianyang nodded with satisfaction, then took out a Token from his robe and handed it to Elder Chen. "From today onwards, you are responsible for handling all their troubles and providing them with every convenience within the Sect. First, take them to a quiet courtyard to rest and recuperate for three days. Then, come to me, and I will pass the Heavenly Sun Art to them."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Elder Chen respectfully took the Token.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Elder Chen pointed at Zhou Xuan. "This child's body has been tampered with. If his trouble can be resolved, I believe his cultivation talent will not be poor."

"Hmm?" Chu Tianyang turned his gaze to Zhou Xuan, scrutinized him for a moment, and nodded. "It's not a big problem. Go down together; come back in three days, and we will resolve it together."

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Zhou Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly bowed in gratitude, his eyes full of thankfulness.
