Evil Immortal!

Chapter 119 The Bones Are Too Tough!

"it is good."

Hua Yulian had no objection to this.

She then looked Meng Yuan up and down, her attitude noticeably better than before: "I didn't expect Gu Zhengyang to have such good taste, discovering a talent like you."

Her father was a top figure in the Demon Suppression Division. He possessed the body of a thunder spirit and had become a disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Divine Firmament Sect, with a promising future. As a result, he developed an arrogant attitude from a young age and always thought that those with ordinary talents were not worthy of dealing with her.

That's why she was so blunt with Meng Yuan at the beginning.

However, Meng Yuan has now earned her respect through his own strength, which has made her look at him with new respect and regard him as a true "fellow Daoist".

Meng Yuan's attack just now was indeed evenly matched with hers, which shows that although Meng Yuan's strength is not quite as good as hers, it is definitely not far behind, and they are peerless geniuses of the same level.

Otherwise, given her pride, how could she possibly agree with this?

As for Meng Yuan, he also has a clearer understanding of his current strength.

"Hua Yulian and Wu Xingkong are on the same level, but Hua Yulian is more skilled in combat and killing, while Wu Xingkong is ruthless and known for his unpredictable style and strange supernatural powers. If the two were to fight, Wu Xingkong would inevitably be at a disadvantage. Of course, it would be almost impossible for Hua Yulian to kill him."

He silently pondered: "She made the first move, which gave her the upper hand, but it was also impulsive. My counterattack was based on seizing the opportunity. Although I didn't lose in the end, I was still slightly inferior."

"After all, that attack just now, though not at my full strength, still revealed most of my foundation: the Pure Yang Sword Technique, the Purple Cloud True Fire, and the Lesser Five Thunder Technique. Hua Yulian, on the other hand, only used the 'Divine Firmament Sword Control True Technique.' As a true disciple of the Divine Firmament Sect, she must possess more than just this one skill!"

"If I were to fight Hua Yulian at full strength, I would likely be at a disadvantage, but it wouldn't be easy for her to hurt me. As for killing me, that would be absolutely impossible unless she used some overpowered trump card or divine weapon."

Speaking of which, Meng Yuan's Pure Yang Sword Technique and Purple Cloud True Fire had each been upgraded by one level a few days ago when he advanced to the Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion Realm, and their power was greatly enhanced again.

This is also the source of Meng Yuan's confidence.

"With your talent, comprehension, and cultivation level, it's a waste of your talent to be in the Demon Suppression Division."

Hua Yulian looked Meng Yuan up and down, then suddenly said, "If you're willing, why don't you resign from your official post and join our Shenxiao Sect? With your talent and comprehension, it's not impossible for you to become a true disciple in the future, and you might even have the hope of achieving immortality."

"You want me to resign my official post and join the Shenxiao Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yuan was taken aback at first, then found himself both amused and exasperated.

He suddenly realized that although Hua Yulian was a year or two older than him, her personality was somewhat unruly and even naive, lacking maturity and composure.

Putting aside whether he was willing to do it or not, the Shenxiao Sect, a major immortal sect, has strict rules and regulations, making it not so easy to join. It's not something that Hua Yulian can just do as she pleases.

Moreover, Meng Yuan had already considered this matter before; joining those major immortal sects was not suitable for him.

Indeed, these great sects of immortals have ancient traditions and profound foundations. Their internal cultivation methods and Taoist scriptures are profound and mysterious, and there are countless advanced cultivation methods.

However, these cultivation manuals are not so easy to obtain. You need to find a master, accumulate merit, demonstrate your cultivation talent, and even learn to flatter.

Meng Yuan has many secrets, whether it's the NPC panel, his clone Zhong Shenxiu, or his own reincarnated identity, including his various plans for the future, all of which are secrets that absolutely cannot be revealed.

In those major immortal sects, the rules are strict and the hierarchy is highly valued. Elders, deputy sect leaders, sect leaders, supreme elders, and ancestors are all considered superiors. Without cultivating to a certain level and having sufficient strength, one will be subject to many restrictions.

Even the disciples of these major immortal sects, their every move is under the watchful eyes of those powerful figures, and their every action is seen by certain people.

Meng Yuan naturally disliked such places. He was too stubborn and found it difficult to bend over or grovel before others. Moreover, cultivation required sufficient experience, and he was too lazy to flatter or fawn over people for cultivation resources or anything else.

Of course, those truly great sects of cultivation have rules and regulations, and their practices may not be so extreme, but they are certainly influenced by them to some extent.

After all, the rules of the sect are probably not a big problem, but people's hearts are fickle, and there are bound to be many who take advantage of loopholes and bully others. The problem lies with people.

In contrast, the Demon Suppression Division only needs to do its job well to receive corresponding benefits. The promotion path is relatively clear, and there is also a virtuous and upright person like Gu Zhengyang as a backer.

There won't be many people staring at him all day, scheming and trying to seize his opportunities.

What cultivation methods are lacking? Even if the Demon Suppression Division's library doesn't have many top-tier methods, Meng Yuan can at least devise his own plans and seize them himself.

What Meng Yuan wants, these major cultivation sects may not be able to provide, but the atmosphere and environment of the Demon Suppression Division are something the Shenxiao Sect certainly cannot offer.

Of course, there is another important point.

These prestigious sects of immortality emphasize a pure foundation. Only disciples who have paid homage to their patriarch and whose cultivation methods are based on their own sect's techniques and scriptures are worthy of trust and training.

However, Meng Yuan has already achieved considerable success in his cultivation and his foundation is solid. It is impossible for him to abandon his cultivation foundation and focus solely on the Shenxiao Sect's lineage.

Even if you join the Shenxiao Sect, you will never be valued!

Moreover, Meng Yuan himself was well aware that although the "Ziyang True Explanation" he cultivated was not a top-tier classic Daoist book, it was still an extremely superior Xuanmen Daoist book. He also knew where the subsequent Daoist methods were located, and it might not be inferior to the core inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect.

So from any perspective, he had no need to join those Taoist sects and humble himself before them.

"I appreciate Fellow Daoist Hua's kindness."

Meng Yuan understood the other party's personality to some extent, so he didn't try to hide anything and said directly, "However, I'm doing quite well in the Demon Suppression Division. I'm mainly used to being free, and I'm a lazy person who hates being restricted. I don't plan to go through all that back and forth again."

Hua Yulian frowned. "In that case, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Fellow Daoist Hua, could you now tell us the purpose of your visit to Yunzhou?"

Meng Yuan asked with a smile.
