Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Yue Qi's eyes were indifferent, and her voice was so flat that it lacked any inflection.

"Yu Luoning, the seven families have accused you of inheriting the Path of Myriad Emotions and intending to wreak havoc on the Nine Realms. Do you plead guilty?"

Yu Luoning stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous.

These people really know how to label people. Of course, she wouldn't take the blame for this undeserved accusation.

"I didn't!" she said firmly.

Shen Yuan, who was standing to the side, immediately said, "Divine Lord, we only suspect that she is the inheritor of the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions..."

Yue Qi interrupted him, "I'm just wondering why such a big commotion was caused?"

Shen Yuan thought to himself, "If we don't make such a big fuss, how can we get the people from the Divine Realm to stop that demon Cui Xiu?"

If Yu Luoning had stayed within the Dongbao Upper Sect his entire life, how would they have had the opportunity to verify their conjectures?

The other party only had suspicions; she could simply deny it. But Yue Qi was too unfathomable. Standing in front of him, she always felt completely exposed. What if she lied and was caught the next second? How embarrassing!

It's better to just be honest.

Yu Luoning: "The inheritance of the Myriad Emotions Path did indeed enter my sea of ​​consciousness, but the fact that the inheritance chose me does not mean that I chose it. I have never opened or read a single word of it, nor have I ever practiced the Myriad Emotions Path techniques, nor have I ever used it to harm anyone."

Shen Yuan sneered, "Words are meaningless."

Yue Qi frowned slightly, raised his hand and waved, and a silver ancient mirror floated above Yu Luoning's head.

The mirror light fell, passing through her meridians and sea of ​​consciousness. A moment later, lines of silver text appeared in mid-air.

The seven emotions meridians are not yet open, the foundation of the myriad emotions path is not yet established, there has been no cultivation of inherited techniques, and there is no cause and effect of absorbing and seizing cultivation power.

As lines of text appeared before everyone, they were all shocked.

The faces of the seven families from the outer realms were grim, while cheers and curses erupted from the Eastern Treasure Sect.

"See? I told you so! How could our Dongbao disciples be heretics?"

"These old guys are really good at labeling people. I think they're just crying wolf. They're probably eyeing that legacy more than they're concerned about."

Just then, a divine pressure emanated from Yue Qi's body, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts, suppressing their inner gossip.

Yue Qi withdrew his oppressive aura and said, "She did not cultivate the Path of Myriad Emotions."

The Heavenly Robe Sect elder beside Shen Yuan immediately said, "Not cultivating today doesn't mean she won't cultivate tomorrow. As long as the inheritance of the Myriad Emotions Path is in this woman, she can become the new Lianfei at any time."

Yu Luoning rolled her eyes, speechless, thinking to herself, "This elder really has a good eye for people." That's right, she wants to become the next Lianfei, so what?

At this moment, a secret, wicked thought even arose in her mind: she would seize the most talented young master of this elder family and wreak havoc on him, stealing all of their family's secret techniques.

If he dares to continue to be unreasonable with me, I will spread his family's unique skills so that they become completely commonplace.

Of course, this was just her wild thoughts when she was angry.

Yu Luoning sneered and retorted directly, "According to you, since I might cultivate, I deserve to die first, right? Then, following that logic, since you might also kill to steal treasure, shouldn't you kill yourself to prevent future trouble?"

The old man's face flushed red. "That's just sophistry."

"I'm arguing unreasonably? What? You're only allowed to kill me on trumped-up charges? When it's your turn, you're unwilling to die to prevent future troubles? Sins that haven't been committed yet don't count as sins. Convicting people based on calamities that haven't happened yet, your righteous ways are even more demonic than the demonic sects."

At this moment, Yue Qi interrupted calmly: "The Divine Realm judges crimes that have already occurred, not those that have not yet occurred."

The old man's face stiffened, and he could only shut his mouth, then angrily flicked his sleeve and took half a step back.

Yu Luoning also raised her hand at the right time, and a golden jade slip flew out from her palm.

"You all keep saying you're just worried about the reappearance of the Myriad Emotions Path. Well then, I have now separated the inheritance from my sea of ​​consciousness. This is the inheritance technique of the Myriad Emotions Path."

Golden light shone brightly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on this legendary inheritance of the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions. Many people even began to breathe rapidly.

Yu Luoning took in their reactions one by one, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Since you all believe it will bring disaster to the world, why don't we destroy it now in front of the Divine Lord?"

A silence fell over the air once more, and none of the seven families, who had been filled with righteous indignation just moments before, answered immediately.

Shen Yuan sneered, "Who knows if this jade slip is real or fake? It must be examined by all seven of us to confirm that it is a legacy before it can be destroyed."

Yu Luoning sneered inwardly. Cultivators possess powerful divine senses; once they've seen something, they can instantly remember all the details.

She gave an "oh" and said with a half-smile, "So you all weren't reluctant to part with the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions, you just wanted to take a good look at it before destroying it. You should have said so earlier. If you wanted to see it, why make such a big fuss? And you even made the Immortal Lord of the Divine Realm come all this way for nothing."

Shen Yuan's face turned ashen, and he shouted angrily, "Witch, stop spouting nonsense!"

Cui Xiu, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes, and the black aura around him swept towards Shen Yuan like sharp blades. Shen Yuan raised his palm to meet the attack.

In an instant, the two terrifying forces collided in mid-air, producing a muffled bang.

Yue Qi casually raised his hand, and the overwhelming aftershocks subsided silently.

He made a grasping motion in mid-air, and the golden jade slip fell into his palm.

Yue Qi spoke coldly: "Each of the seven families shall send one person to examine the contents. They may only examine the contents, but may not claim ownership or copy the contents."

Yu Luoning's eyes flickered slightly when she heard Yue Qi's arrangement.

She didn't believe those old guys weren't selfish.

The seven families from the outer realms readily agreed to Yue Qi's proposal and quickly selected seven elders to step forward in turn.

Yu Luoning watched from the side, her heart beating faster than usual.

With Yueqi supervising from the side, what if these seven families just honestly carry out the inspection and don't take the bait? Wouldn't her whole scheme be for nothing?

Just as she was lost in thought, Cui Xiu suddenly squeezed her palm.

Yu Luoning turned her head to look at him, and Cui Xiu tilted his head slightly, his signature purple eyes blinking at her, revealing a hint of eeriness and a confident sense of having everything under control.

To onlookers, their interaction appeared to be flirting, which some found offensive and others ignored.

As if sensing something, Yue Qi's slender fingers, hanging at her sides, twitched almost imperceptibly.

In his mind, the voice, arrogant and unrestrained, came to him, "Go easy on them and let these guys imprint the mental incantation on the jade slip into their mind."

At this moment, the elders slowly probed their divine senses into the jade slip.

Yue Qi remained calm and allowed them to do as they pleased.

Everyone thought that this deity was highly skilled but not particular about trivial matters.

Unbeknownst to anyone, several of them were secretly activating a secret technique, forcibly imprinting the cultivation method within the jade slip into their sea of ​​consciousness.

Yue Qi lowered his gaze slightly, then looked into the distance, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

The elders suppressed their joy and quietly retreated back to the flying ship in the outer realm.

The crowd replied, "We report back to the Immortal Lord. This technique is indeed the inheritance of the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions."

Yue Qi nodded slightly, his voice completely calm, and said, "Now that it has been confirmed, I will destroy this jade slip. Do you have any further objections to this dispute?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuan, the leader of the seven families, said, "Divine Lord, we have no objection."

The other companies echoed this sentiment.

The elders who had imprinted their cultivation techniques into their divine seas breathed a sigh of relief.

They had already memorized the true essence of the Dao of Ten Thousand Emotions, so whether the jade slip was destroyed or preserved was no longer important.

Yue Qi raised his hand and crushed it without hesitation, turning the jade into ashes.

The expressions on people's faces varied, with most showing regret.

Only the elders who were secretly making copies of the inheritance jade slips breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the smiles on their lips.

However, at that moment, the second elder of the Shen family suddenly froze.

His face turned red at a visible speed, and the yang energy in his body seemed to be forcibly reversed by some force, rushing wildly towards his dantian.

"Wh...what happened?" Elder Shen Er's face was filled with horror. He covered his dantian with one hand and staggered back a step.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to him.

A terrifying scene unfolded.
