Moving forward, Chen Daoxuan climbed the steps.

This time.

Chen Daoxuan finally understood why many disciples were eager to enter the inner sect.

Mount Universal Truth, within a radius of a thousand miles, was a place where spiritual energy gathered and dragon veins converged. The clouds in the sky were actually condensed spiritual energy, extremely rich.

Although this was the case, there was still a difference in spiritual energy between the mountaintop and the foot of the mountain. Once they passed through the mountain gate, the spiritual energy became extremely abundant. Near the location of the sect leader, the spiritual energy even condensed and solidified.

Not far away was the place where the inner sect disciples cultivated.

The main hall of the sect stood on the mountaintop, majestic and grand. Two golden dragons extended along the two tall mountain pillars.

The door opened, revealing a solemn and ancient interior, filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Murong Ye, also the sect leader, sat on the sect leader's seat, wearing a green robe. Her hair was elegantly coiled up, and her face was stunningly beautiful, captivating. There was a faint aura of pressure emanating from her.

She wore two jade pendants around her waist, emitting a colorful glow, indicating that they were extraordinary.

On both sides were the elders of the sect, except for two who were nearing the end of their lives and in closed-door cultivation. The rest of the elders were all present.

Chen Daoxuan's expression slightly froze, and he thought to himself.

The sect leader was clearly in closed-door cultivation, but suddenly stopped and gathered so many elders. Was it all for him?

However, soon Chen Daoxuan immediately understood in his heart.

In this vast world, there were countless cultivation methods!

And among cultivators, there were naturally good and bad individuals.

Those with broad minds walked the path of righteousness and lived their lives openly. There were also those with narrow minds and malicious intentions, walking the path of treachery and cruelty.

Some people with average aptitude would become hysterical and ruthless when their lifespan was about to end. They developed many special methods.

These special methods were extremely cruel and dangerous, but they could greatly enhance a person's strength and even lifespan in a short period of time.

For example.

Absorbing the blood of young girls to enhance their physique and prolong their lifespan. Or dissecting the fetus in the womb of a woman with spiritual roots, collecting ninety-nine of them, and combining them with some concentrated Yin energy from the heavens and earth. This could refine the bodies of these children into Nascent Souls within their bodies, directly reaching the Nascent Soul stage and exchanging it for longevity.

However.

This kind of longevity came at a price, as once they swallowed it, they would be unable to make progress. Moreover, their bodies would become like corpses, not truly alive or dead, and their bodies would gradually decay.

Some people could face death calmly and quietly close their eyes.

But some people, when faced with death, would choose to disregard everything just to seek longevity.

Those people believed that as long as they possessed the power of longevity and endless years, they could find a solution in the long run to restore their human form and continue their cultivation.

But such an act against the heavens would naturally be condemned, and most of these people were directly suppressed and killed by the righteous sects. The few who managed to survive in the wilderness also failed to find a solution.

Chen Daoxuan's talent was average before, although his willpower was strong, but after eighty years of bitter cultivation, he only reached the Foundation Building stage.

But in just five years since he left the mountain, he suddenly gained numerous children and his strength skyrocketed to Foundation Building Rank Three. He could easily defeat Xiao Qiuyuan, who was ranked first in the outer sect.

If there were no problems with this.

They wouldn't believe it!

They wanted to see if Chen Daoxuan had also been tainted by those unscrupulous cultivation methods. If so, the sect would immediately take action to prevent any potential harm.

Chen Daoxuan appeared calm and stepped forward respectfully, saying, "Inner disciple Chen Daoxuan pays respects to the sect leader and elders!"

"I heard that when you left the sect five years ago, you were only at Body Refining Rank Nine. How did you reach Foundation Building Rank Three within five years?"

Murong Ye didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Because the disciple forgot about something."

Chen Daoxuan raised his head, his clear eyes meeting Murong Ye's gaze without any intention of backing down. "While immersing oneself in cultivation is a method of practice, the great Dao of heaven and earth only exists partially in these mountains. Another part of the Dao exists in the mundane world. Although we cultivators are seen as unattainable immortals in the eyes of ordinary people, without them, neither you nor I would exist, and this vast world would not exist!"

As soon as Chen Daoxuan finished speaking, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.

Although this principle is simple, many people simply do not understand it, let alone put it into practice. Even if they do, it is only superficial and cannot be deeply understood.

If Chen Daoxuan's cultivation was not based on esoteric principles, it meant that he truly delved into the secular world and comprehended the ways of the mundane.

"What you said is indeed correct. However, as you know, Mysterious Passage Sect is a righteous sect and does not allow any mistakes."

Murong Ye pouted her cherry lips, her voice tinkling like a bell, with a hint of confusion. For a moment, Chen Daoxuan's mind became confused, but he quickly regained his clarity.

"What the sect leader said is true, but the disciple has a clear conscience."

Chen Daoxuan smiled lightly.

"I believe you, but this item will provide the answer."

Murong Ye waved her hand lightly, and a palm-sized doll appeared out of thin air. It was lively and cute, leaping to Chen Daoxuan's side and quickly climbing onto his head, then closing its eyes and remaining still.

Everyone present focused their attention.

After a full moment passed, the palm-sized doll became incredibly transparent and clear, without any impurities.

Although everyone felt relieved by this result, they were also greatly shocked.

This item is called the Heart-Reading Spirit!

It is a Sixth Grade Spiritual Treasure!

It does not enhance one's combat power, but below the Nascent Soul stage, it can discern whether a person is righteous or evil. If the person is righteous, it will be transparent and clear like water; if the person is evil, it will be pitch black. The majority of people are mostly clear and only a small portion is black.

As long as the black area does not exceed one-fifth, there will be no problem.

After all, there is no one in this world who can guarantee that they have never done anything that weighs on their conscience.

But the Heart-Reading Spirit on Chen Daoxuan's head!

It was so clear!

Obviously, in these five years, Chen Daoxuan had indeed been cultivating peacefully and had not done anything dirty.

"It seems that you haven't done the things the sect was worried about. I have already considered all your previous rewards."

"Now that there are many disciples in the sect and limited resources, the sect can only give you a small portion."

Murong Ye said softly.

In fact, Murong Ye also had her considerations. Although Chen Daoxuan broke through to Foundation Building Rank Three within five years, marrying and having children in the mundane world like this, and indulging in the beauty of the flesh, his potential, even if there is still some, is probably not much.

The sect is also extremely practical and needs to concentrate resources on those excellent talents.

As for Chen Daoxuan, being able to reach the peak of Foundation Building is already extremely difficult. Perhaps, even if his lifespan is nearing its end, he will be stuck at this realm and unable to make any progress.
