Chapter 263 Cultivation World 52
"Sister, there's a plaque here," Jiu Jiu called out.

Si Lingyue walked over. The characters on the plaque were somewhat different from those in the lower realm, but she could guess their general meaning based on their shape and some of the characters—Daoyuan Sect.

Knowing which sect it belongs to is useless.

Why they died here is still unknown.

We need to continue searching for clues.

Finally, Si Lingle and her companion touched the corpses. Although these immortal corpses still possessed an aura, it was possible that they had been dead for too long, and Si Lingle and her companion were able to withstand the aura emanating from these corpses.

After looting all the valuables from these immortals, Si Lingle found a photographic stone.

Input spiritual power, and the image stone will begin playing.

Calamity clouds pressed down upon the Immortal Realm, churning black clouds and unleashing lightning like dragons. The thirty-six peaks of the Dao Yuan Sect trembled violently, their protective array already riddled with cracks. Sect Master Xuan Xiao stood atop a mountain, his white hair stained with blood, his whisk shattering inch by inch.

"Sect Master, the demonic calamity has reached the mountain gate!" A disciple staggered in, his robes charred black. "Thirty thousand demonic cultivators have formed an array, and the Soul-Devouring Banner has already blocked the Eastern Heavenly Road!"

Xuanxiao closed his eyes, his divine sense sweeping across the sect—100,000 disciples, half of whom were seriously injured. He slowly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse but firm: "Issue the order, activate the 'Thousand Immortals Protecting the Dao Formation'."

At the main peak plaza, 1,152 True Immortals stood in formation. Among them were white-haired elders, young disciples newly embarking on the path of immortality, and even reclusive seniors who had been in seclusion for a century. At this moment, no one flinched.

"Fellow disciples," Xuanxiao bowed deeply, "once this formation is activated, all immortal essence will be burned out, and the soul and spirit will be annihilated."

"Why must the sect leader say so much?" an elder in a green robe laughed. "Haven't you cultivated for ten thousand years precisely to protect this lineage?"

The immortals laughed in unison, their fingers simultaneously forming hand seals. In an instant, a thousand beams of immortal light shot into the sky, transforming into a barrier that blotted out the heavens!
Despite her shattered arms, a female immortal still bit her sword with her teeth, pouring her life's cultivation into the array's core; a young disciple bled from all seven orifices, yet clung tightly to the array flag, refusing to retreat even as his body crumbled; Xuanxiao himself burned away his lifespan, using his heart's essence as a guide to condense the power of a thousand immortals into a single line!
The demonic cultivators screamed in agony as the Soul-Devouring Banner shattered. But the immortal array was also collapsing—dozens of true immortals perished every breath.

When the final bolt of lightning struck, the Daoyuan Sect's mountain gate was reduced to ashes.

Xuanxiao knelt amidst the ruins, cradling a dying young disciple in his arms. In the distance, surviving disciples crawled out from the ruins of the Scripture Pavilion and the Herb Field, their faces covered in blood but their eyes bright.

"Sect Master...did we win?" the junior disciple asked weakly.

Xuanxiao gazed at the dissipating demonic clouds in the sky and gently stroked his disciple's forehead: "A thousand immortals have fallen, but the flame of the Dao remains. From this day forward, you will be the new flame."

The photo display then ended.

Si Lingyue glanced around and saw that these more than a thousand people were the immortals who had voluntarily sacrificed themselves to protect the sect, as recorded in the image stone.

According to the record stone, Dao Yuan Sect has defeated the demonic cultivators. Logically speaking, these immortal corpses should be properly buried by the surviving disciples of Dao Yuan Sect.

But now it has appeared in the secret realm. Could it be that something has changed after Dao Yuan Sect defeated the demonic cultivators?
Si Lingle took out the offerings and offered them to the deceased immortals, saying, "Immortals, we have taken your treasures, please forgive us."

"Anyway, if we don't take these treasures, someone else will take them if they come in."

"If I am fortunate enough to transcend tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, I will definitely send your corpses back to the Dao Yuan Sect. If the Dao Yuan Sect has already disappeared, I will give you all a proper burial."

Si Lingle knew in her heart that these immortals did not reincarnate, but taking their things and burying them was a way of being responsible to her conscience.

Si Lingle collected all the corpses of these immortals.

Afterwards, together with Jiu Jiu, they opened the spatial rift and left the rift.

Emerging from the spatial rift, Si Lingle and Jiu Jiu headed southwest.

Two years later, the spirit insects on Si Lingle sensed the location of Wen Ze Daojun.

Si Lingle and Jiu Jiu flew southeast, encountering monsters and spiritual plants along the way, none of which Si Lingle spared.

More than a month later, Si Lingle and Wen Zedaojun reunited.

Besides Wen Ze Daojun, there is also Pei Yun Daojun of Huoyun Sect.

Neither of them were in good condition, especially Pei Yun Dao Jun.

They learned upon inquiry that they had encountered a celestial-level demon beast.

If it weren't for Daoist Peiyun using his supernatural powers, the two of them would probably have perished in the jaws of the demon beast.

Si Lingle thought to herself that she had the Heavenly Eye and had avoided the celestial-level demonic beast in advance.

Of course, if you can't avoid it, use the Spirit Cannon and Thunder Magnetic Cannon to fight it.

This celestial-level demonic beast was indeed very strong, but it couldn't withstand being bombarded. After a few shots, even if the celestial-level demonic beast didn't die, it would be severely damaged.

None of them died; Si Lingle gave them a contract.

Of course, this celestial beast is of a much higher rank than her. If the other party is not acting voluntarily, she could easily be betrayed by the contract and have the contract reversed.

Therefore, Si Lingle negotiated with this celestial beast.

Ask them if they want to leave this secret realm and return to the immortal realm.

Si Lingle agreed that as long as they returned to the Immortal Realm, she could terminate the contract if the other party wished.

These mythical beasts were naturally willing, so they voluntarily signed a contract with Si Lingle.

The contracted celestial beasts, along with Si Lingle, began to plunder the various high-level celestial plants and fruits in this secret realm.

With these celestial beasts protecting her, Si Lingle didn't encounter any danger at all.

Some demonic beasts, sensing the oppressive aura of the immortal-level demonic beasts, took the initiative to give way.

"Elder, Senior Peiyun, have you encountered any fellow Daoists from other sects in the past two years?"

Wen Ze Daojun: "It took me a year and a half to meet Fellow Daoist Peiyun after entering the secret realm."

Pei Yun nodded, indicating that she had only encountered Wen Ze Daojun and had not met any other fellow Daoists.

We don't know if they are alive or dead.

"Did the sect leader encounter anyone else?" Wen Ze Daojun asked.

"No," Si Lingle said. "We'll have Da Bai and the others help us look for them later."

"Dabai?"

"My contracted Cloud-Stepping Beast." A Celestial-rank beast.

Anyway, the name is simple and easy to remember.

"This secret realm is so vast, Sect Leader, it's best not to send out any contracted beasts, lest they encounter danger and lose their contracted beasts."

"Don't worry, there are very few things in this secret realm that can hurt Da Bai and the others." The four immortal beasts she had contracted were considered to be of a high rank in this secret realm.

"Elder, you should recuperate first." Si Lingle left the cave and released Da Bai and the others.

Si Lingle let Da Bai and the others take Da Wang and the others with them.

Let's also give the kings and the others some training.

More than half a month later, Wen Ze Daojun and Pei Yun Daojun had finished their meditation and the three of them acted together.

Wen Zedao and his companion noticed that they had rarely encountered demonic beasts since Si Lingle arrived.

The number of magical plants found has also increased.

When they encountered monsters, they didn't even have a chance to make a move; Si Lingle dealt with them all by herself.

Wen Zedao sighed, "He truly deserves to be their sect leader."

Several years passed in this way, and the forty-third person who entered the secret realm, Si Lingle's contracted pet, found the thirty-first person.

After everyone reunited, they explored this secret realm together.

After spending fifty years in the secret realm, they were teleported out of it.

When Si Lingle returned to the sect, she was surprised to see her other five disciples.

Then, the eldest disciple, Xuanjing, recounted the events of the Qingxuan Realm.

After Si Lingle exposed that the Qingxuan Realm was a fake realm, she also severely damaged the Qingxuan Sect.

Other sects, the demon race, and the monster race joined forces and destroyed the Qingxuan Sect.

Only after destroying the Qingxuan Sect and investigating the sect leader's memories did they realize how evil the person behind the Qingxuan Sect was. Firstly, they used other humans, demons, and monsters in the Qingxuan Realm as fuel for the sect's destruction.

Those who are placed in the Immortal Realm don't have it easy either. Once they're there, the cultivation they've worked so hard to achieve will be absorbed by the person behind them.

Secondly, the cultivation methods of the Qingxuan Sect are all flawed. They are not a problem in the early stages of cultivation, but the higher one's cultivation level, the more likely one is to suffer from qi deviation.

Si Lingle already knew about the cultivation method; Xiao Zi had discovered it back then.

Now I understand why the flawed cultivation method appeared; the Qingxuan Sect harbored malicious intentions.

Third, the Qingxuan Sect claims that it opened its sect inheritance secret realm for the sake of the Qingxuan Realm, and that this inheritance secret realm was created by the god behind the Qingxuan Sect.

Ninety percent of the various inheritances found in secret realms are problematic.

Those who obtain these fake inheritances will be controlled by the Qingxuan Sect in the future and become its accomplices.

Fourth: Every 50,000 years, a great purge will occur, which will kill half of the humans, demons, and monsters in the Qingxuan Realm.

Those who died during this great purge were sacrifices.

Offerings to this false world.

Because of this incident, the three races of the Azure Profound Realm discussed and decided to build a spirit ship together to take the disciples of each sect away from the Azure Profound Realm to other realms.

As for the Heavenly Dao Sect, since its sect leader had long since defected to the Azure Profound Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect's sect leader was also killed after the Azure Profound Sect's sect leader's soul was searched.

The two elders who had undergone tribulation were also killed.

As a result, the Heavenly Dao Sect also disbanded.

Xuanjing and the others spent ten years preparing before setting off, because of the things left behind by Si Lingyue.

However, when they set off, other fellow disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sect were with them.

Daoist Jiu'an, the entire Xi family (the ancestral family of the Grandmaster), Daoist Hongyu, and others.

Xuanjing and the others knew where Si Lingle and Yunya had started from, so they chose the same location and direction.

They encountered many dangers, and some members of their respective families died along the way.

Fortunately, they eventually arrived at the Jiuli Realm.

Upon entering the Nine Li Realm, they made a few inquiries and obtained information about Si Lingle. Subsequently, they arrived at the Hundred Battles Sect.

Fortunately, Yunya had already emerged from the secret realm when they arrived.

This allowed them to successfully join the Hundred Battles Sect.

Xuanjing also brought bad news: their grandmaster, Daojun Yiheng, had been ambushed and killed by the sect leader.

Si Lingle felt a little sad when she heard the news. In fact, she had a feeling about it, but she still held a glimmer of hope that her master had left the pseudo-realm and gone to another realm.

Xuanjing and the others set up a memorial tablet for Daojun Yiheng.

Give me the memorial tablet.

Xuan Jing took out the memorial tablet and handed it to Si Lingle.

Si Lingle stroked the memorial tablet. She was able to be where she was today thanks to her master who brought her back to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

I never imagined that my master had already passed away.

Unfortunately, the sect leader Jinglan, who caused her master's death, has already perished; otherwise, she would definitely have avenged her master herself.

However, Si Lingle remembered the Fang family behind the fake world.

If it weren't for the extraordinary person from the Fang family creating this fake world, how could her master have been assassinated?

The real culprit is the god behind all this.

Si Lingle felt a pang of sadness, then inquired about the cultivation progress of her disciples. Since their cultivation was going relatively smoothly, Si Lingle didn't ask any further questions.

Afterwards, Si Lingle went to see the other members of the Tian Dao Sect.

Seeing Xi Yanmo from Shizun's family, Si Lingyue sighed, "Things have really changed."

Back when she first joined the sect, Xi Yanmo had caused her trouble, but now nearly six hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After chatting with these people, Si Lingle kept Daojun Jiu'an behind.

"Senior Brother Jiu'an, are you injured?"

Jiu'an Zhenjun was a direct disciple of his master, and had even instructed him in swordsmanship.

"I was injured while crossing the sea."

"Senior brother, let me take your pulse."

Daoist Jiu'an extended his hand, and Si Lingle used her wood elemental energy to examine it. After the examination, she frowned and said, "Why didn't you ask Yun Ya to refine pills to treat you, Senior Brother? Your injuries can't be left untreated for long."

“Nephew Yunya is busy with many matters, so please don’t trouble yourself.”

"There's no need to trouble yourself, Senior Brother, you are Uncle Yunya." Si Lingle felt that Senior Brother Jiu'an's manner was just right.

Si Lingle took out a magic pill. "Senior brother, this is a magic pill that can heal your injuries. Once you're healed, let's have a spar."

"Let my senior brother see if my swordsmanship has improved."

“Okay.” Jiu’an nodded.

After Daoist Jiu'an left, Si Lingle went to take stock of the spoils from the secret realm.

After taking stock for several days, Si Lingle convened the sect's senior members to discuss the matter of the new sect leader of the Hundred Battles Sect.

The Qingxuan Sect has been destroyed, so she doesn't need to worry too much now.

As for the gods of the divine realm, if they dare to send someone down to the mortal world to kill her, she will definitely send that god to his death.

When cultivators from the upper realm descend to the lower realm, their cultivation levels are suppressed, but she is not afraid of those whose cultivation is suppressed.

She is currently in the Void Refining stage, and in the future, she will be in seclusion to cultivate, so she won't have much time to deal with sect affairs.

After some discussion, it was decided that Xuan Jing, Si Ling Le's eldest disciple, would become the new sect leader.

Si Lingle originally wanted to recommend Changming Zhenjun, but Changming Zhenjun said that he wanted to go out and gain experience.

For the past few hundred years, he had been worrying about the sect. Now that he could finally relax and take on the burden, he didn't want to carry it anymore.

Two months later, the Hundred Battles Sect's succession ceremony was held, and representatives from various sects came to offer their congratulations.

After Xuan Jing became the sect leader, Si Ling Le went to the floating island to cultivate in seclusion.

This period of seclusion lasted for 340 years, during which she cultivated for a hundred years, allowing her cultivation level to break through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

For the remaining century, Si Lingle devoted herself to studying the restrictive formations of the Immortal Realm.

Over a century, Si Lingle successfully mastered the Immortal-level formation.

As for weapon crafting, alchemy, and talisman drawing, Si Lingle spent a hundred years improving, reaching the twelfth rank, but has not yet broken through to the immortal rank.

After emerging from seclusion, Si Lingle left the sect to gain experience.

The place they went to was the Demon Realm.

The reason for going to the Demon Realm is that Si Lingle is looking for a type of ore that only exists in the Demon Realm.

This ore can be used to forge weapons, and Si Lingle wants to forge a special flying machine.

Si Lingle plans to use the immortal-grade materials she has obtained to build this flying machine, and of course, she will also add some top-grade materials from the lower realm.

Upon arriving in the Demon Realm, Si Lingle disguised herself as a low-ranking demon.

They headed to the Youxiang Mountains.
