Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 406 Hunting Target
After hearing this, Yunxi shook her head repeatedly and said:

"Master, you said these cultivators know that evil cultivators are like rats crossing the street, so why do they still associate with them? Is it just for the sake of ascending to immortality?"

Yu Ling put down her teacup and said:

"They were simply defeated by their own ever-growing desires; ascension was merely a most high-sounding excuse."

The path of cultivation is inherently long and arduous. Cultivation requires accumulation and is influenced by many factors such as aptitude, cultivation resources, and luck. These factors can either hinder or become aids on the path of cultivation.

Those cultivators who are truly dedicated to pursuing the Great Dao will only strive to improve themselves. If their aptitude is insufficient, they will find ways to make up for it. If they lack cultivation resources, they will earn them themselves. They will always find a cultivation path that suits them.

Only those cultivators with unstable minds will be bewitched by evil cultivators, giving rise to jealousy and resentment. They will resent the injustice of the Heavenly Dao, be jealous of other cultivators who have better aptitude than themselves, and be jealous of those who have family support.

Such people can always find excuses for their wrong decisions, and they always find excuses in others, so betrayal becomes a natural consequence.

Yunxi listened and nodded seriously. Some people are like that. When they fail, they never look for the reasons within themselves. They always blame others for their mistakes and then deceive themselves and continue down the same path.

Seeing that Yunxi had taken it to heart, Yu Ling continued:
"Yunxi, it has been almost ten years since you became my disciple. I have witnessed your growth over the years. You are my most proud disciple. You have your own mission, and I will not interfere with any of your decisions."

However, whatever you do, you must make sure you survive. Your growth rate is too fast, so fast that it can no longer be described as 'genius'. At your current rate of advancement, I'm afraid I'll ascend to immortality a step behind you."

Yunxi chuckled sheepishly. She knew her injury had worried her master again. Her master was a typical example of someone who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he was especially devoted to her, his disciple. He never skimped on anything that needed to be done, so she immediately assured him:

"Master, please rest assured, I know what I'm doing and I won't risk my life. Just as you said, I will keep my life to do what I should do."

After speaking, he attentively poured tea for his master.

Yu Ling smiled and continued:
"I just want to protect you for a few more years. Now, it's not just evil cultivators who are watching you, but also righteous cultivators."

The evil cultivators want the inheritance of the Immortal Healer Sect from you, they want to seize your fortune, and they've also repeatedly thwarted their plans because of you. Starting with the Nine-Round Sacrifice Array in Shuangshan City, then Feixia Valley, the Mortal Realm, Xiaohe City, Yuxing City, and the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm—you can calculate how many plans you've ruined for them.”

Yunxi thought about it carefully and realized that since she joined the Haoran Sect, she had really ruined a lot of the evil cultivators' good deeds. So far, the arrogance of the evil cultivators has been suppressed again. She felt that she had made some contributions, so she smiled and showed a pair of dimples, hoping that her master would praise her more.

Yu Ling sighed silently. Only at times like this did he realize that his disciple was acting like a young man.

"Whether it's a coincidence or an accident, the evil cultivators now see you as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of you as soon as possible. What happened in the Enforcement Hall that day was just the beginning. You will encounter many more in the future."

"You discovered it yourself from the message jade slip in the Hive that a secret force is targeting elite disciples in various domains, either eliminating or replacing them. This will result in a new generation lacking truly powerful individuals, and the Weiyu Realm will inevitably decline in ten thousand years. Now, you have become their target."

Yunxi then realized that her master had taken such a big detour, focusing on this point. After thinking for a moment, she realized that she was indeed qualified to be on the other side's kill list, not only because she had ruined their plans, but also because her existence had indirectly changed the fate of many people.

She was like a dark horse, charging into an orderly herd, rampaging and startling the entire group, altering their course. However, in the eyes of her enemies, she was probably just a rotten apple. Thinking of this, Yunxi's lips curled into a smile. Although she was only instinctively resisting the suppression of "Heaven's Way," she had unknowingly done many things that benefited the Weiyu Realm; that's how she accumulated merit.

Looking at Yunxi, who was in a very good mood, Yu Ling shook her head and continued:
Do you still remember Lord Yusu?

"I remember, she also entered the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm, but she was unlucky and was possessed by an evil spirit. Her soul was brought back to the sect by a disciple."

She remembered this matter very clearly, and because of it, she offended a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Immortal Transformation Sect who was fiercely protective of his own, and she killed his junior.

"After returning to the sect, Ancestor Haoyi personally extracted the evil spirit from Yu Su's body and obtained some useful information, which confirmed your speculation."

The evil cultivators want to completely occupy the Weiyu Realm. They are not only taking action openly, but also secretly carrying out the despicable plan you mentioned to eliminate talented disciples. In the past five hundred years, there have been cases of talented disciples from various sects either dying unexpectedly or disappearing completely.

After confirming this hypothesis, all sects and major families reinvestigated the people and events surrounding the 'genius disciple,' uncovering some problematic cultivators and more detailed evidence, and subsequently carried out a purge.

Since then, each sect has dispatched high-ranking cultivators to secretly protect their 'genius disciples,' and so far, I have not received any news of any 'genius disciples' unexpectedly perishing.

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Fortunately, the sect valued her discovery highly; otherwise, it would have been difficult to investigate something from so long ago.

Yu Ling continued:

"If the evil cultivators find out that you've once again sabotaged their long-term plans, do you think they'll still tolerate you?"

Yunxi chuckled but didn't reply. If she were an evil cultivator, she would have given the order: kill them at all costs.

Yu Ling knew that Yun Xi understood his words, so he took out two items from his storage ring and pushed them in front of Yun Xi, saying:

"This is a protective jade talisman that I crafted for you. It contains my three strongest attacks. If you encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator, it can help you escape."

This jade bracelet was obtained by my master from Ancestor Haoyi. It can withstand an attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, Nascent Soul cultivators have already reached the level of ascension. Even if they block the attack for you, you will still be injured. Therefore, if you really encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator, you'd better run away.

Yunxi's lips twitched upon hearing this, but she was also grateful to her master for considering everything so thoroughly for her. On the spot, she recognized two defensive magic treasures as her own, stuffed the offensive jade talisman into her bosom, and put the jade bracelet directly on her wrist. Then she respectfully bowed to Yuling.

"Thank you for the treasure, Master. I will definitely protect my life and serve you as you ascend to the upper realm."

A faint smile appeared on Yu Ling's cool face:

"You're so good with your words. You should also get ready. The disciples from our sect who are going to participate in the Five Domains Competition will be heading to the Central Domain ahead of time. You can take on an escort mission and travel with them."
