Some enlightenment

At this critical moment, with the Heavenly Dao Rankings about to be unveiled, the vast Void Domain appeared peaceful on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents had long been surging, and winds were rising.

During this time, Asking Heart Sect, in order to dominate the Heavenly Dao Rankings with an absolute advantage, poured countless resources like flowing water.

This was all to further enhance the strength of their disciples.

Li Huo Sect!

Ye Ji was currently coordinating and planning with her disciples, identifying and addressing any deficiencies.

How could it be so easy to dominate the Heavenly Dao Rankings? Many details and issues needed to be considered.

Just then!

Thunder Vein Master rushed in from outside the door.

"My Lady, there's a lead on Ling Wushuang of Intercepting Heaven Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ji, who was seated in the main seat of the grand hall, raised her eyebrows.

Under her gaze, Thunder Vein Master continued, "According to information from the elders of the Thunder Vein, they discovered that Ling Wushuang and the other Heavenly Talents of Intercepting Heaven Sect have been transferred by the high-level members of Intercepting Heaven Sect to the Chaotic Land."

"Currently, all the Supreme Realm experts of the Thunder Vein have important duties, and Intercepting Heaven Sect has three Supreme Realm experts. To ensure nothing goes wrong, I have come here to request two experts from you, My Lady."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wind Vein Master, who was seated on the upper left side of the grand hall, stood up and said, "My Lady, these Heavenly Talents of Intercepting Heaven Sect should have been taken into our Asking Heart Sect long ago. It was my inefficiency that caused these complications."

"I request to go with Thunder Vein Master this time, to atone for my mistakes."

In the grand hall, Yuan Xiaotian, the Sect Master of Li Huo Sect, could not sit still upon hearing this.

Li Huo Sect and Intercepting Heaven Sect were already sworn enemies.

Now that there was a rare opportunity to strike a fallen dog, wouldn't it be too regrettable if he didn't personally participate?

Thinking of this, he quickly cupped his hands towards Ye Ji and said, "My Lady, since my Li Huo Sect became an affiliate of Asking Heart Sect, my Li Huo Sect has not contributed much. This time, how about including me, Yuan, in the operation? I also wish to contribute to Asking Heart Sect's great cause."

Ye Ji looked at the two who volunteered.

She nodded slightly: "You may!"

"This time, let the three of you eliminate the hidden dangers for Asking Heart Sect's great cause!"

With Ye Ji's approval, and to avoid any delays, the three did not linger and immediately set off for the Chaotic Land.

Above the clouds, the three traveled across mountains and rivers.

Yuan Xiaotian looked at the two Supreme Realm Eighth-level experts beside him and felt that this operation was surely a success!

Intercepting Heaven Sect's Old Ancestor was only at the Supreme Realm Seventh-level, and the other two Sect Masters were merely at the Supreme Realm Third-level and Supreme Realm Second-level.

As for him, he was an expert at the Supreme Realm Third-level.

In terms of numbers, the number of experts on both sides was equal, but in terms of quality, his side was undoubtedly more than a notch higher.

Indeed, in life, choice is very important.

Yuan Xiaotian's eyes were deep as he looked down at the mountains and rivers below.

"Now that I have Asking Heart Sect backing me, Intercepting Heaven Sect, what do you have to fight me?"

His mind trembled slightly.

He felt that the resentment that Li Huo Sect had been suppressed by Intercepting Heaven Sect would all be unleashed and completely released this time!

...

Chaotic Land!

For the current Phoenix Feather Sect, it seemed as if it were isolated from the world.

The entire sect was undergoing daily, rapid changes.

Everyone was busy improving themselves, and the overall scene presented a thriving appearance.

Outside the mountain gate, Extinction Supreme was sweeping the steps!

Ever since she decided to completely pledge allegiance to Phoenix Feather Sect, she had fully embraced the role of Sweeping Old Woman.

She didn't need anyone's supervision and worked diligently from dawn till dusk every day, performing her duties.

Surprisingly, after her mindset completely calmed down, she felt that she was a completely different person.

Previously, she already had a tendency to break through, and now, with her complete integration into Phoenix Feather Sect, her heart had undergone a unique transformation. Her cultivation, which had not moved for ten thousand years, had risen dramatically, and by now, she had truly become a Supreme Realm Ninth-level expert.

With the improvement of her cultivation, she had also become much younger.

Her lifespan had also increased significantly.

If she had previously looked like an eighty-year-old woman on the verge of death,

Now, she looked only about fifty years old!

It is said that good news lifts one's spirits, and now, she smiled at everyone she met.

This was completely opposite to her previous sinister and unruly demeanor.

She even began to like the current tranquility.

Every day, sweeping fallen leaves, feeling the sprouting of grass, the burst of vitality, and then the wilting of autumn leaves, the demise of vitality.

This kind of life and death transformation, like a unique cycle of reincarnation, was something she had never experienced before.

Or rather, her previous vision was too high, her status too noble, which made her overlook many things around her.

Just then, a dark figure moved from the foot of the mountain in the distance.

It was a pile of firewood.

The firewood was neatly stacked, piled high, several zhang tall, like a small mountain.

If one observed carefully, one could see.

Below the firewood, there were two small feet.

The person carrying the firewood was none other than Ecstasy Child.

As Ecstasy Child stepped onto the stairs and met Extinction Supreme, his eyes were quite complex.

Who would have thought that two Supreme Realm experts, who would be high and mighty and revered by thousands wherever they were, terrifying existences,

Now, one had become a Burning Fire Child, and the other had become a Sweeping Old Woman.

This experience, just thinking about it, made one sigh.

"Extinction, are you truly willing to be a Sweeping Old Woman for the rest of your life?"

Ecstasy Child cautiously looked around, and seeing no one, he asked in a very careful tone.

Extinction smiled faintly: "Here, this old woman feels an unprecedented tranquility. Being a Sweeping Old Woman is also a form of cultivation."

Ecstasy Child did not refute this.

If, at first, when Sweeping Old Woman said this, he had suspected whether she had suffered too great a blow and lost her mind,

But as the other party's cultivation advanced another level,

He realized that he had always been the clown.

This clearly showed that the other party's state of mind and bottleneck had improved!

This made him both envious and helpless.

He had also tried to completely integrate into the identity of Burning Fire Child, like Extinction Supreme, but alas, he couldn't do it!

Extinction Supreme saw Ecstasy Child's complex thoughts.

She enlightened him: "Child of Ultimate Bliss, misfortune is what good fortune relies upon, good fortune is what misfortune hides within."

"You have also seen the strength of Phoenix Feather Sect."

"This may not be a better destination than Asking Heart Sect."

"Professions do not distinguish between high and low, noble and humble. A true talent will always shine."

"In the past, we were blinded by prosperity and constrained by our status, which led us to develop arrogant and conceited personalities."

"This, how is it not a kind of restraint for us?"

"Letting go of all the false nobility of the past, this, how is it not a cultivation of shedding shackles."

Upon hearing this!

Ecstasy Child's eyes twinkled.

He fell into deep thought.

To be honest, during his time in Phoenix Feather Sect, after witnessing its various extraordinary aspects,

He had indeed considered genuinely pledging allegiance.

It was just that he couldn't bear the humble and lowly identity of Burning Fire Child, which kept him indecisive.

Now, Extinction Supreme's words enlightened him.

That's right!

Strength is the foundation of one's existence!

Only the Dao is eternal.

Everything else is fleeting.

Since that is the case, why should he care about the high or low, noble or humble status?

The Dao has three thousand paths, and every path can lead to sainthood.

At this moment, Ecstasy Child also seemed to gain some enlightenment.

And towards Phoenix Feather Sect, a sense of belonging inexplicably arose in his heart.

As his thoughts shifted, he suddenly discovered that the restriction within his body had disappeared.

He felt something, and looking up, he saw several figures standing before the mountain gate at some unknown time, with Phoenix Aotian leading them.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Ecstasy Child thanked him repeatedly.

Extinction Supreme, who was beside him, also found that the restriction within her body had disappeared.

She also bowed in thanks to Phoenix Aotian.

Before the mountain gate!

Phoenix Aotian smiled and said to the two, "You don't need to thank me!"

"You should thank yourselves."

As a former Great Saint expert, Phoenix Aotian was naturally extremely sensitive to changes in human hearts.

It was quite a coincidence.

This time, he was entrusted by Intercepting Heaven Sect to set up a formation there.

As soon as he and a few high-level members of Intercepting Heaven Sect stepped out of the mountain gate, they saw Extinction Supreme and Ecstasy Child, who had truly submitted.

Since they had truly submitted, there was no need for the seal and shackles.

He casually removed them.

This could also be considered a reward for the two of them.

He stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "I am very happy that you can truly submit to Phoenix Feather Sect."

"Work hard!"

"If you can catch the Master's eye someday, your future prospects will be limitless."

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance!"

The two thanked him again.

Intercepting Heaven Sect's Old Ancestor, Ye Wujun, Old Ancestor of Jie Tian Sect, and Sect Master Fang Changtian, who were behind Phoenix Aotian, felt somewhat surreal watching this scene.

Although they had not known these two before, they had heard of their capture.

Two Supreme Realm Eighth-level experts, one used for sweeping and one for burning firewood—throughout the entire Void Domain, perhaps only Phoenix Feather Sect would have such a grand gesture.

At the same time, as the two looked at the current plight of Ecstasy Child and Extinction Supreme, they felt a certain schadenfreude in their hearts.

After all, these two came from Asking Heart Sect.

And Asking Heart Sect had an irreconcilable enmity with their Intercepting Heaven Sect.

The other party first threatened them, then directly attacked, preparing to forcibly seize Intercepting Heaven Sect's Heavenly Talents.

They even injured many high-level disciples of the sect, and even Intercepting Heaven Sect's Old Ancestor suffered serious injuries.

Later, they didn't even take Intercepting Heaven Sect seriously, repeatedly probing Intercepting Heaven Sect with their divine sense, completely disregarding his sect.

Now, two of Asking Heart Sect's Supreme Realm Eighth-level experts had been captured by Phoenix Feather Sect.

Presumably, losing two such important experts would be painful enough for Asking Heart Sect for a long time!

Of course, while the two thought this, they had no intention of mocking Ecstasy Child and Extinction Supreme. In fact, they even felt some admiration.

After all, not every Supreme Realm expert could put aside their status to become a Burning Fire Child and a Sweeping Old Woman.

In their hearts, there was only schadenfreude towards Asking Heart Sect.
