Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

"Liu Yun! What are you still hesitating about?!"

"After the sect has nurtured you for so many years, is it too much to ask for a few words of loyalty to the sect from you?!"

Beside them, Dai Yingyu finally couldn't control her emotions and angrily reprimanded.

Finally, no more hiding?

Liu Yun slowly straightened her hunched body, and her lowered head lifted completely, her gaze meeting the furious Dai Yingyu.

"Master, when I was reading in the library, I once came across a biography that had a passage written like this:

Qingyun Immortal Gate has stood for millions of years, enduring countless trials and tribulations. Just the calamity of exterminating a sect alone has happened at least ten times.

Every time the sect encounters a danger that cannot be overcome, the Head Teacher Perfected Being selects the most outstanding disciple with a talent among the many Gold Core stage disciples to be sacrificed. After the sacrifice, the sect will be able to turn the danger into safety..."

"In the past, when I saw this passage, I didn't pay much attention to it and thought it was just nonsense and not to be believed!"

"But now, hehe..."

At this point, Liu Yun laughed coldly, her eyes filled with melancholy and mockery as she looked at Dai Yingyu, and asked softly,

"Master, unless something unexpected happens, I should be the sacrificial disciple of this generation, right?"

"The reason you provided me with such excellent cultivation conditions before, urging me to break through to the Gold Core stage as soon as possible, should also be in preparation for this, right?"

"From the beginning, I was chosen as the sacrificial object. My fate is no better than those Ascension cultivators like Senior Sister Yu!"

"So, Master, please don't mention anything about the kindness of the sect or the bond between master and disciple in front of me. It only makes me feel that you are more hypocritical and disgusting!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yingyu's expression changed slightly.

She never expected that this girl would know everything!

Recalling the past three or four years, Liu Yun would often go to the library when she had nothing to do, and she would stay there for the whole day. Dai Yingyu suddenly regretted why she hadn't paid more attention back then.

She thought that this girl liked going to the library just to catch up with that disciple of the menial tasks, to alleviate her homesickness.

But now it seems that it's completely different!

This girl's thoughts are so deep and changeable now, she has even learned to disguise and deceive, which must be related to the books she has read in the library over the years!

However, what puzzled Dai Yingyu was how there could be records of "sacrifice" in the library?

And it happened to be seen by this girl Liu Yun?

It should be known that the matter of "sacrifice" has always been a secret of the sect, even the true transmission elders would not know!

Moreover, the books and inheritance jade slips that are stored in the library have to go through special screening and selection.

Under normal circumstances, there should not be any records involving sect secrets!

After dealing with this matter, she must carefully examine the books in the library!

Dai Yingyu had doubts in her heart, but now is obviously not the time to investigate these things.

The sacrificial object she had carefully cultivated has now openly turned against her. It is no longer possible to make Liu Yun willingly offer up her soul and blood essence.

At this moment, the only option left is to forcefully suppress this path!

"Alright, since you have guessed it, there is nothing to hide!"

Dai Yingyu glanced at the Blood Jade Cushion, where the red light was growing stronger, took a step forward quietly, and said softly,

"Ever since we discovered your Supreme Grade single-element water spiritual roots, and considering your humble background without the protection of a clan, the sect has already decided to make you the sacrificial disciple of this generation!"

"The sect has provided the best resources and conditions to help you grow and break through quickly, ensuring your safety and worry-free cultivation."

"If within a thousand years, the sect remains free from disasters and calamities, unharmed and safe, then naturally you will be the most outstanding true disciple of my Qingyun Immortal Gate. You will advance in grade like any ordinary true disciple, and eventually become a true elder or even the master of the Five Peaks, becoming the cornerstone of my Qingyun Immortal Gate until the next generation's blood sacrifice appears."

"In this way, the thousand years will cycle, and each generation of the sect will deliberately cultivate a talented true disciple for the purpose of blood sacrifice, in case of unforeseen circumstances!"

"In the past nearly ten thousand years, Qingyun Immortal Gate has always been prosperous and has not encountered any crises or calamities that threaten the life or death of the sect. Therefore, each generation's blood sacrifice has been able to safely pass the thousand-year period."

"But you, it can only be said that your luck is not good, and you did not catch a good time!"

"This is fate, my girl!"

Dai Yingyu's cold gaze swept towards Liu Yun, with a hint of pity in her eyes.

This girl had just broken through to the Gold Core stage yesterday, meeting the minimum requirements for the blood sacrifice.

And today, the sect is facing the danger of annihilation, and has to activate the blood sacrifice technique that has never been used in ten thousand years.

Isn't this fate?

This girl is destined to save Qingyun Immortal Gate!

"Don't say that the sect has treated you unfairly. Just like how ordinary people raise pigs to sell for money or eat meat, the sect has provided you with so many cultivation resources to help you advance in grade. Naturally, we hope for some returns!"

After pausing for a few seconds, Dai Yingyu spoke again:

"In my opinion, this can also be considered a kind of equivalent exchange. Both Immortal Gate and I have never treated you poorly. The various resources invested in you are enough to support a small cultivation family!"

"So, my obedient disciple, stop struggling. Your fate has long been determined, and no one can change it!"

"Now, cooperate with me obediently and complete the final step of the blood sacrifice. This is the best choice for you, for me, for the sect, and for your family!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun's heart trembled.

She didn't expect that her master would compare her to a pig raised by ordinary people for slaughter.

It turns out that in her master's eyes, her position is just a meat pig raised for slaughter, without any emotions!

"So, even the resources that the senior guardian gave me before were also arranged by you?"

Trembling, Liu Yun asked Dai Yingyu softly.

Dai Yingyu was taken aback, "What guardian? What does this have to do with the guardian?"

"Wait, are you saying that the guardian has also provided you with cultivation resources over the years?"

"You honestly tell me, the biographical information about the blood sacrifice that you mentioned before, was it given to you by the guardian?"

Originally, Dai Yingyu had never suspected the guardian.

After all, the existence of the guardian was of great significance to the entire Qingyun Immortal Gate.

And in the millions of years since the establishment of Qingyun Immortal Gate, there has never been a precedent of the guardian betraying the sect.

So before this, Dai Yingyu had never doubted the guardian.

But now, hearing Liu Yun's questions and seeing her surprised and incredulous expression, Dai Yingyu suddenly became somewhat uncertain.

Because she knew very well that although the others in Immortal Gate might not know much about the blood sacrifice, the lineage of the guardian was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable.

Upon hearing Dai Yingyu's repeated inquiries and seeing her surprised and disbelieving expression, Liu Yun also became stunned.

What's going on?

We've come this far, and the master is still here pretending with her?

Wasn't it just now that the bookkeeper secretly communicated with the master and lured her in? What's the point of denying it now?

"Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore!"

At this moment, Dai Yingyu's voice rose again, staring directly at Liu Yun:

"Now, it's almost time. Since you, my obedient disciple, are unwilling to willingly dedicate yourself to the Sect, then I'll have to take care of it for you!"

"In your next life, I hope you have better luck and don't reincarnate into an ordinary family without power and influence!"

As she spoke, Dai Yingyu raised her hand and slapped towards Liu Yun's head.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo's mind moved, about to manipulate his Spiritual Sense to block Dai Yingyu's strike.

Bang!

But Dai Yingyu's slap not only broke Liu Yun's right hand, but also her entire arm, which fell to the ground.

And the one who made the move was Liu Yun, who had just broken through to the Gold Core realm.

This shocked not only Dai Yingyu, but also Liu Zimo, who had been hiding in the dark, and Yao Lingling, who was devouring Spirit Bodies within the Blood Jade Platform.

What's going on?

Liu Yun, who only had a Nascent Soul realm cultivation base, actually casually severed one of Dai Yingyu's arms, who had a Nascent Soul realm cultivation base of six!

Playing the pig to eat the tiger, huh?!

Why didn't they notice anything before this?

"Hmm? The sachet hanging from her waist seems a bit off!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out to be the Soothing Soul Incense and the Dragon Saliva Enchanting Incense!"

"This girl really gave me a big surprise!"

Liu Zimo couldn't help but sigh softly.

Especially when he noticed the abnormality of the sachet hanging from Liu Yun's waist and quickly deduced that it contained the Soothing Soul Incense and the Dragon Saliva Enchanting Incense, he was even more pleased.

Who would have thought that Liu Yun, who had always appeared innocent and obedient, would have such cunning.

The Soothing Soul Incense, as the name suggests, has the divine effect of soothing the soul.

It itself is not poisonous and is a spiritual incense commonly used by cultivators to assist in cultivation, so it is not easily detected by others.

However, the Soothing Soul Incense contained in the sachet that Liu Yun carried also contained a special spice called Dragon Saliva Enchanting Incense.

The scents of the two spices are similar and extremely difficult to distinguish.

One soothes the soul, the other enchants and weakens the body.

Even if a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm were to smell it without any precautions, they would still be affected to some extent.

The reason Liu Yun has been silent and delaying making a choice is because she deliberately wanted to buy time.

Perhaps from the beginning, she didn't trust anyone.

She has been trying to use her own abilities to survive the imminent danger.

And now, it seems that she has succeeded.

At least, Dai Yingyu, who posed the greatest threat to her, has become weak and powerless due to inhaling an excessive amount of poisonous smoke.

"You really planned it well. When did you poison her?"

Covering her severed arm, Dai Yingyu, who no longer felt any pain, looked up at Liu Yun and asked in a weak voice.

Until now, she still hadn't realized how she had been poisoned.

All she knew was that she had underestimated this little disciple of hers.

To think that she, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, could be affected by him without even realizing it.

"In response to Master's question," Liu Yun replied respectfully in a soft voice, "From the moment Master summoned me, I secretly activated the fragrance in my personal sachet."

"After entering this airtight secret chamber, the fragrance became even more effective."

"This poison fragrance is a specially concocted 'Dragon Saliva Enchanting Fragrance' that I carry with me for protection against confinement and body possession. Normally, I use the fragrance of the 'Soul-Calming and Mind-Stabilizing Incense' to cover it up."

"When in danger, I can lightly squeeze the sachet to release the 'Dragon Saliva Enchanting Fragrance' hidden inside the 'Soul-Calming and Mind-Stabilizing Incense' to counter the enemy."

"I never expected to use this precautionary measure for the first time on you, Master."

"I also want to say that this is all fate! If you want to blame someone, blame your own bad luck!"

"I, as a worthless disciple, ask Master to kill me!"

With that, Liu Yun knelt down and kowtowed three times to Dai Yingyu.

Swish!

With a flash of his Sword Ray, Liu Zimo didn't give Dai Yingyu a chance to speak and directly beheaded her.

This decisive and ruthless action made Liu Zimo's eyes light up, as if he saw the figures of his two beloved disciples back in the earthly realm.

He could only say one thing: Well done!

It should be noted that villains die from talking too much.

Dealing with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator like Dai Yingyu, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, there could be no mercy or delay.

Otherwise, if she had the chance to reveal a hidden card, it would be enough to completely destroy Liu Yun and leave her with no place to be buried.

It's just a pity for Dai Yingyu that she probably couldn't believe until her death that she would fall under the hands of her youngest and most innocent disciple.

"Your good sister Dai Yingyu had a string of bad luck and was beheaded by someone, instantly dying!"

"'Heaven-Defying' talent attribute passive triggered, you inherit half of the gifts left by your good sister Dai Yingyu before her death: Qingyun Immortal Technique +1000, Tianzhu Dao Rhyme +10, Immortal Dao Cultivation Base +1000, Spiritual Sense +1000, Sea of Knowledge space +80000."

"Your good sister Dai Yingyu has gone offline, currently available binding targets (486/1000)."

As Liu Zimo heard the related ability prompts, a large amount of Immortal Dao Cultivation Base and Spiritual Sense Cultivation Base rushed into his body and Sea of Knowledge.

At this moment, Liu Yun was not idle either.

After beheading Dai Yingyu, she immediately stabbed her Dantian in the lower abdomen, completely killing and annihilating her Nascent Soul.

Then, the little girl picked up Dai Yingyu's head and without hesitation, began to use the soul-searching secret technique.

Clearly, she wanted to take advantage of the fact that the effects of the 'Dragon Saliva Enchanting Fragrance' had not completely worn off to search for all the memories and secrets hidden in Dai Yingyu's Sea of Knowledge.

At the same time, it could also be considered as eliminating the roots, so as not to be counter-attacked by Dai Yingyu's soul and Nascent Soul after the effects of the fragrance wore off.

Seeing Liu Yun's smooth and skillful actions, Liu Zimo couldn't help but be impressed.

He secretly praised this girl, thinking that she could indeed graduate. It was not in vain that he had spent these years training her! (End of this chapter)
