Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

The Great Dao roared, causing the mountains to shake.

Among the five peaks of Qingyun, apart from the main peak which remained unscathed, the other four peaks suffered heavy losses.

No one could withstand the wanton attacks of a peak Nascent Soul expert.

All the disciples of the Qingyun Immortal Gate who stood in front of Mu Shangzhi were instantly crushed to death, their bones shattered and their bodies destroyed.

If it weren't for the sacrifice of more than ten Nascent Soul Elders from the main peak, who desperately used a formation to temporarily stop Mu Shangzhi's footsteps, all the disciples of the four peaks would have suffered!

This is the fundamental reason why an Immortal Dao Sect or a cultivation clan must have one or several formidable peak powerhouses to sit in.

Cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm are simply too powerful, and cannot be matched in strength.

Without strong opponents of the same level to restrain them, one person is enough to annihilate a sect!

Just like the tragedy that happened in the Qingyun Immortal Gate right now.

No one could stop Mu Shangzhi's footsteps!

Even the ten-plus Nascent Soul Elders who just made their move could only temporarily restrain him!

And the enemies who broke into the Azure Cloud Mountain this time were not only Mu Shangzhi.

The young cultivator beside Mu Shangzhi, although only at the third stage of the Nascent Soul realm, displayed Immortal Dao techniques and attack intensity far beyond what an ordinary cultivator at the third stage of the Nascent Soul realm could compare to.

This person felt very familiar to Liu Zimo.

Especially after he displayed the "Golden Dragon Soaring Cloud Technique" and the "Primordial Yang Immortal Technique," Liu Zimo instantly confirmed his identity.

"Huo Primordial Yang!"

"I knew his Spiritual Sense Cultivation Base was unusually strong, already comparable to a peak Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Now it seems that Huo Primordial Yang has clearly found a Human Cauldron to possess and has been reborn through it!"

Liu Zimo leaned against the windowsill and looked at Huo Primordial Yang from a distance.

Seeing the crimson light extending more than ten feet above Huo Primordial Yang's head, like flames, Liu Zimo's mind moved, and he directly listened to the locked shadow above his head.

"Binding successful! Your good brother Huo Primordial Yang (possessed) is online. Currently available binding targets (521/1000)."

It really is him!

Liu Zimo narrowed his eyes and slowly clicked on the exclamation mark that kept flashing above Huo Primordial Yang's head.

In an instant, the Spiritual Roots attributes and Cultivation Base attributes of Huo Primordial Yang's new body were completely revealed in Liu Zimo's eyes:

[Name] Huo Primordial Yang (possessed)

[Age] 38566

[Spiritual Roots] Supreme Grade Fire Spiritual Roots

[Cultivation Base Realm] Third stage of the Nascent Soul realm

[Cultivation Technique] Primordial Yang Immortal Technique, Dragon Soaring Cloud Technique, Breaking Infant Secret Technique, Turtle Breathing Dao Technique, Spirit Beast Taming Technique, Sword Control Technique...

"Tsk tsk, reborn through possession, and within just three years, he has restored his Cultivation Base to the Nascent Soul realm!"

Liu Zimo clicked his tongue and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

It must be said that Huo Primordial Yang's recovery speed was somewhat beyond Liu Zimo's expectations.

After all, Xing Yuzhu and Yu Jiangcheng, who were also reborn through possession, had done so long before Huo Primordial Yang.

Especially Xing Yuzhu, not only did she seize the opportunity to take over the body of Huo Primordial Yang months in advance and be reborn, but her cultivation base before taking over the body was also stronger than Huo Primordial Yang's.

And now, whether it's Xing Yuzhu or Yu Jiangcheng, they are still stuck at the Gold Core stage, and it will take at least two to three years for them to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, Xing Yuzhu and Yu Jiangcheng, compared to Huo Primordial Yang who lost the protection of the sect, have a greater advantage in resources.

At the very least, they will never lack various Heavenly and Mortal Treasures and Supreme Grade Spirit Stones needed to restore their cultivation base, so their recovery speed should be faster.

But now, the situation is that Huo Primordial Yang, who has worse recovery conditions, has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage several years ahead of Xing Yuzhu and Yu Jiangcheng.

There must be some hidden secrets that outsiders don't know about.

A hint of curiosity arose in Liu Zimo's heart.

But he didn't rush to take action to find out, and continued to sit in front of the window in the book pavilion, coldly watching the current battle.

At this moment.

Seeing that Mu Shangzhi was temporarily restrained, while Huo Primordial Yang was still ruthlessly slaughtering the disciples of the four peaks.

Xing Yuzhu, who had been sitting in the Qingyun Great Hall, couldn't sit still anymore. After shouting "Old man Huo Primordial Yang, stop being arrogant," she flew out of the main peak and fought against Huo Primordial Yang in a certain place.

Both of them had undergone body possession and had the cultivation base strength of the peak of the Nascent Soul realm before body possession.

Even though one is at the peak of the Gold Core stage now, and the other is at the third stage of the Nascent Soul stage, their strengths are not much different from each other.

As soon as Xing Yuzhu made a move, she immediately restrained Huo Primordial Yang, stabilizing the situation of the Nascent Soul battle in the sect.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the Qingyun Immortal Gate was obviously at a disadvantage.

Once Mu Shangzhi broke free from the blockade of the dozen or so Nascent Soul Elders, or if Gong Qingyue and Tian Baobao teamed up to kill the guardian, what awaited the Qingyun Immortal Gate would be a disaster!

At this moment.

Liu Zimo had already withdrawn his Spiritual Sense from the battle and turned his gaze to Dai Yingyu, who had been staying in the main hall of Qingyun.

Now, whether the Qingyun Immortal Gate can produce a trump card that can reverse the situation is the key to avoiding the disaster of annihilation.

And Dai Yingyu, as the contemporary Head Teacher of the Qingyun Immortal Gate, should be the most likely candidate to produce that trump card.

[Your good sister Lu Tianyue has had a series of misfortunes and was killed with a single palm, her soul is gone!]

[The 'Heaven-stealing' Talent attribute has been triggered passively, and you have inherited half of the remaining gifts from your good sister Lu Tianyue before her death: Water Cloud Divine Technique +1000, Golden Cicada Nine Cycles +1000, Immortal Dao Cultivation Base +500, Spiritual Sense +500, Sea of Knowledge Space +30000.]

[Your good sister Lu Tianyue has gone offline, currently available binding targets (520/1000).]

At this time, among the thirteen Nascent Soul Elders besieging Mu Shangzhi, another one fell and perished.

Mu Shangzhi took the opportunity to destroy the true transmission hall at the top of Emerald Bamboo Peak, and then flew towards the main peak of Qingyun.

Even though he was barely stopped by the remaining twelve Nascent Soul Elders, Liu Zimo could tell that those remaining Nascent Soul Elders were already at their limit and wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Sure enough.

After a few breaths, another Nascent Soul Elder died under Mu Shangzhi's palm, leaving only eleven Nascent Soul Elders struggling to support themselves.

In this situation, if there is no strong support, these remaining eleven Nascent Soul Elders will undoubtedly die one by one at the hands of Mu Shangzhi.

At least in Liu Zimo's opinion, the Qingyun Immortal Gate is now in a precarious situation.

"Liu Yun, where are you? Come see me quickly!"

At this moment, Dai Yingyu, who had been watching the battle all along, finally made a move.

However, to Liu Zimo's surprise, Dai Yingyu did not reveal any impressive trump cards, but instead loudly called for her personal disciple, Liu Yun.

Seeing the eager and somewhat frantic look in her eyes, Liu Zimo couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

At this moment, instead of thinking about how to deal with the enemy, Dai Yingyu was looking for a personal disciple who had just broken through to the Gold Core realm. What did she want to do?

With Liu Yun's current cultivation base, even if she went out, it would be of no benefit to the battle, and she wouldn't even qualify to be cannon fodder, right?

Liu Zimo narrowed his eyes, and a strand of spiritual sense directly descended onto Dai Yingyu's shoulder.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine Dai Yingyu's calabash was selling.

"Master, I'm here!"

Hearing Dai Yingyu's call, Liu Yun, who was currently activating the sect's protective formation with many other disciples, quickly responded and flew over.

"I wonder what Master has summoned me for?"

Bowing in front of Dai Yingyu, Liu Yun asked in a puzzled voice.

"Yuner, you have also seen that Qingyun Immortal Gate is now in a life-or-death situation."

Dai Yingyu looked at her personal disciple with a complicated expression and asked her softly,

"Master wants to know, if there is a way to save the entire Qingyun Immortal Gate, to save all the disciples of the sect, but it requires you to make a small sacrifice, would you be willing?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun unconsciously raised her eyebrows, and a scene described in "My Life" came to her mind.

"...Every time the Immortal Gate is in danger, when there is a crisis, the Head Teacher Perfected Being will select a true disciple with outstanding talent from the sect for sacrifice..."

"No one knows who the sacrifice is, except for the Head Teacher. But one thing is certain, the person being sacrificed must not only have transcendent talent, but also a stable transcendent realm cultivator with a solid soul."

"That senior disciple of mine, whose cultivation talent was ten times or even a hundred times better than mine, disappeared because of this..."

Thinking of the content of this book, Liu Yun's heart trembled slightly when she saw her master's gaze.

Seeing that Liu Yun had not responded for a long time, Dai Yingyu's face instantly turned dark.

"What's the matter? The sect has nurtured you for so long, and all kinds of cultivation resources have been prioritized for your use. Now, we only need you to make a small sacrifice, and you're unwilling?"

Dai Yingyu scolded sternly, her face full of disappointment and gloom.

She originally thought that this disciple, who had never experienced training outside the mountain and had a simple mind, would respond positively and agree immediately.

Unexpectedly, what she got was Liu Yun's hesitation and retreat.

"Master, I just..."

Seeing that her master was angry, Liu Yun quickly bowed her head, wanting to find an excuse to refuse. But then she heard a faint voice in her ear.

"Agree to her!"

"Dai Yingyu has already harbored murderous intent towards you. If you directly refuse, she will not show any mercy."

"Don't worry, I am secretly watching over you. No matter what schemes and tricks Dai Yingyu has, I will ensure your safety."

Upon hearing this voice, Liu Yun's heart trembled.

This is... the voice of the senior guardian?

It's strange. Wasn't the senior guardian supposed to be out defending against the two peak Nascent Soul cultivators from the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate? How does he still have the energy to transmit messages to me?

Thinking about the past few years, Liu Yun couldn't help but feel relieved by the selfless care and cultivation of Senior Shou Shuren.

Sensing the increasingly cold gaze from the master, Liu Yun dared not hesitate any longer and replied loudly, "Master, you have misunderstood. Immortal Gate has shown great kindness to me, and I am willing to die for the Sect and for you!"

The young girl's expression was firm, and her voice was resolute. Those who didn't know might think she truly intended to sacrifice herself for Qingyun Immortal Gate and Dai Yingyu.

"This girl has developed a bit of a cunning side. These years of reading were not in vain!"

Inside the Bookkeeping Pavilion, Liu Zimo watched Liu Yun's performance from a distance and nodded in satisfaction.

Before, he was worried that this girl would foolishly fall for Dai Yingyu's tricks and be sold without realizing it.

Now it seemed that this girl's character had completely matured and she had grown up.

That's right.

The voice that just sounded in Liu Yun's ear was deliberately imitated by Liu Zimo using the voice of the Bookkeeping Pavilion's caretaker.

He had done similar things before, whether it was providing cultivation resources or guiding secret cultivation techniques, Liu Zimo had used the voice and identity of the Bookkeeping Pavilion's caretaker.

It could be said without reservation that among the entire Qingyun Immortal Gate, the person closest to Liu Yun and the one she trusted the most, besides Liu Zimo, was the caretaker he played.

Therefore, after hearing the reminder from the "caretaker," Liu Yun readily agreed to Dai Yingyu's request without hesitation.

"Very well!"

Seeing Liu Yun's response, Dai Yingyu's expression instantly softened, and she patted Liu Yun's shoulder with relief, saying, "I knew it, Yun'er is not the kind of person who fears death and forgets gratitude!"

"Don't worry, you are my most valued direct disciple. Even if you want to die, I can't bear to let you go!"

"Come, there's no time to waste. Follow me to the back hall!"

Saying that, Dai Yingyu directly handed over the control of the protective formation to the deputy sect leader Zhou Yanqing who was by her side.

She herself took Liu Yun and swiftly entered the deepest part of the Qingyun Great Hall.

A strand of Liu Zimo's spiritual sense quietly moved from Dai Yingyu's shoulder to Liu Yun's body, following them.

To be on the safe side, Liu Zimo even sent out Yao Lingling, who was sleeping in the sea of consciousness space.

He had it enter Liu Yun's sea of consciousness in advance to prevent anyone from seizing her body.

"With this bug here, the master can rest assured!"

"I can't guarantee anything else, but if someone dares to devour and invade this girl's sea of consciousness and soul, I guarantee they won't have a way back!"

Yao Lingling confidently assured Liu Zimo.

As a second-stage evolved devouring spirit immortal bug that had reached the Returned to Origin Realm, Yao Lingling was not afraid of any attacks on the spiritual sense.

At this moment.

Dai Yingyu had already brought Liu Yun through layers of protective formations and arrived in an underground secret chamber in the deepest part of the Qingyun Great Hall.

Through his spiritual sense, Liu Zimo saw that the secret chamber was empty, without a single figure.

In the center of the chamber, there was a conspicuously blood-red cushion.

"Come, Yun'er, take a drop of your lifeblood essence that contains your spiritual sense origin and drop it on this Blood Jade Cushion."

"Then, say again what you just promised me!"

Dai Yingyu led Liu Yun to the front of the cushion and gently instructed her with a gentle and expectant voice. (End of this chapter)
