169: Wang Tianzhen: I didn’t expect you to be such a great person!

Within the Yunhai, an Immortal Palace stood, surrounded by countless flying birds, yet none could glimpse inside.

It was as if it were merely a mirage.

Inside, Wang Tianzhen sat cross-legged, while the Grand Master Shenqian above her said with some helplessness.

“Your Heart-Nature truly needs to change,”

“An ordinary person’s Dao Foundation merely progresses their cultivation steadily and orderly, but you, back then, made a dangerous Breakthrough amidst chaotic battle, leading to your current incessant killing intent. While it greatly aids your combat, it will inevitably make your Heart-Nature unstable in the future.”

“You were provoked by just a few words and nearly killed that Yunhai Immortal Master.”

“Of course, that junior also brought it upon himself, but the matter should have ended there, instead of you later fighting three Immortal Masters alone to show off.”

“If there are any grievances, they should be settled within the Grand Ceremony.”

“During this Grand Ceremony, not only will there be those from the Cloud Sea Sword Sect, but also Half-Demon Descendants and Cultivators from surrounding Immortal Sects, all gathered here.”

“Moreover, the Yinming Immortal Master is also part of the plan.”

“Killing three Immortal Masters certainly proved your exceptional combat strength, but your Dao Foundation sustained damage, which is a net loss for your future Dao path.”

“Furthermore, you won’t be able to receive the corresponding ‘assistance’ at this Grand Ceremony, and that is the most important thing.”

Wang Tianzhen faced the Grand Master Shenqian’s persuasion, remained silent for a moment, then shook her head and said.

“I didn’t lose.”

“If the Great True Person hadn’t come, I would only need three months; in three months, I could have slain all of them with my sword.”

The Shen Qian Immortal Master fell silent, a rare occurrence.

Damn it, this team is hard to lead. Qingchi Mountain is now a place where poor mountains and treacherous waters produce unruly people. Some of the most unruly Immortal Master Cultivators have already been suppressed in the Lock-Mad Cave. He originally thought that this would make the Cultivators of Qingchi Mountain more well-behaved.

But... the Dao paths of those who were led astray can no longer be corrected.

Hong Tu is still better, after all, he has passed the age of enjoying fighting and killing, and now he is thinking of accumulating some Karma.

Sen Yan and others are also fine, having steadily entered the Dao Foundation Realm, their Heart-Nature is still acceptable.

But what should he do about this Wang Tianzhen?

A woman, carrying a sword all day, slashing randomly when displeased.

What would the existences in the Imperial Family think if they saw this?

A Sect of lunatics, even crazier than the Yin Nether Sect that was destroyed earlier due to the Imperial Family's turmoil.

This will cause some existences to be disgusted.

And Qingchi Mountain, currently, only has that one woman behind it. Although she has just taken power and controls Qingyang and several prefectures, her combat strength is formidable, but her foundation is shallow. She needs support right now.

If she is disliked... it might be detrimental to Qingchi Mountain.

The Grand Master Shenqian felt bitter in his heart.

How much he wished for a cunning Immortal Master to appear in the mountain.

Oh no... a deeply scheming Immortal Master.

Rather than this group of Immortal Masters who just slash at the slightest disagreement.

If they must slash, shouldn't they find a proper reason?

He sighed to the sky. There was no one else in the Immortal Palace at the moment, so there was no need to maintain the demeanor of an Immortal Master too much.

His upright spine hunched over, and he casually took out a coarse grain cake from his Storage Pouch and began to chew on it.

Like an old man next door.

While eating, he mumbled.

“Alright, this matter is over. I’ve blocked that old ghost from the Cloud Sea Sword Sect for you, but a few more complications have arisen out of nowhere.”

“That Immortal Master had his four limbs severed by you and cannot participate in the Grand Ceremony. The Cloud Sea Sword Sect is furious and has brought in a Dao Foundation Perfection.”

“Other Immortal Sects friendly with the Cloud Sea Sword Sect were also incited and brought many genuine combat Immortal Masters. This time, it’s truly gotten chaotic.”

“Although our Qingchi Mountain is formidable in combat and has the advantage of timing and location, it’s hard to fight four hands with two fists.”

Wang Tianzhen was still concise.

“No matter, I can kill them.”

“Cough, cough, cough.” The Grand Master Shenqian coughed, spitting out a few mouthfuls of dry food, and pointed at Wang Tianzhen, repeatedly saying.

“You, a Dao Foundation Middle Stage Perfection, want to kill a Dao Foundation Late Stage Perfection by leapfrogging realms? Your tone is truly arrogant!”

“I am a Sword Cultivator.”

“A Sword Cultivator is also a Cultivator!”

“I am a Sword Cultivator!”

“That Perfection has mastered at least four Divine Abilities, and also has a Great Art!”

“I am a Sword Cultivator!”

The Grand Master Shenqian waved his hands repeatedly and said.

“Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about your problem for now. Let’s talk about that kid.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianzhen uncharacteristically fell silent.

After a long while, she reluctantly said.

“He didn’t accept my good intentions.”

A Qi Refining Realm Cultivator daring to refuse a Dao Foundation Immortal Master was something unimaginable.

But Shen Qian didn't feel surprised at all.

“No matter.”

“This kid’s Heart-Nature is unstable; he seems to have his spiritual intelligence eroded by a Heart Demon, but there is always a glimmer of spiritual light residing within his heart. That is the contribution of the Taiyin Sword Pill.”

“This junior has indeed inherited the true teaching of that cunning fellow, Shen Qianqiu. Who knows how many schemes he has in his heart.”

“Heart Demon....”

Wang Tianzhen murmured, but the Grand Master Shenqian waved his hand.

“Unlike you, this junior seems to be taking a risky path, intentionally nurturing this Heart Demon, and I don’t know why.”

“I suppose he has other plans.”

“He also obtained the Ice Soul Technique and reached some kind of deal with that Seven Soul brat?”

Wang Tianzhen, however, looked at the Grand Master Shenqian with a strange gaze, which left the Grand Master Shenqian completely bewildered.

“Great True Person... do you enjoy peeping?”

“?”

Shen Qian coughed twice more.

Just saying such nonsense, Shen Qian, Shen Qian, isn’t it about being undetectable?

Since he wants to achieve the best infiltration, he must be extremely passionate about this ‘profession’.

Peeping has become his instinct.

And in order to control the overall situation, he also needs to appropriately peep and control the progress of the Grand Ceremony.

Besides, they are all Qingchi Mountain Cultivators, and this kid is also from Qingchi Mountain. An Old Ancestor observing his descendants, isn't that called protection and observation?

How can it be called peeping?

The Grand Master Shenqian put the dry food back into his Storage Pouch, took a sip of eight-grade spiritual water, and gargled.

He spat it out, then said indifferently.

“Alright, there are no other errors. This kid has already entered the ‘Yin Domain’. There’s no need to pay too much attention to him. You should also pack up and enter the ‘Yang Domain’.”

“Sword From Wind... the Wind Spirit Beast that the Great True Person Xun Feng once controlled is in there. If you can obtain its spiritual pearl inner core, it should give rise to a new Divine Ability, helping you advance further.”

It turned out that the Wind Spirit Beast driven by the mysterious Immortal Master that Shen Li saw back then... was not, as Shen Li had thought, for offspring or descendants.

It was actually for... this Grand Ceremony?

Of course, Shen Li naturally could not perceive all of this.

He saw the Great True Person in front of him wave his hand, closing the mirror flower water moon before his eyes.

Within the mirror flower water moon.

Shen Li’s arrogant face was filled with the unrestrained joy of the Demonic Path.

Shen Qian murmured to himself.

“Bargaining with a tiger, good methods, quite impressive.”

“If he can achieve Dao Foundation, he can become the master of Yellow Sand Plains.”

“His thoughts are not bad, he has depth, and his ambition is high.”

“Indeed, not bad.”

“Forge a Magical Artifact, then come to retrieve it after Dao Foundation?”

“It truly makes one feel a bit of anticipation.”
