I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

He felt that possessing Ye Qiao's body might not be possible, so he figured he could try someone else.

Compared to being a cultivator, Mu Li felt that the identity of a Demon Lord was more suitable for him. He would then directly possess the current Demon Lord, take over the Demon Realm, and perform a reincarnation.

"I want the Demon Lord's body, the current Demon Lord's." Even though he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't conceal his greed and desire. "As long as you help me, I guarantee that the demons will never interfere with you cultivators again."

Listening to his grand promises, Ye Qiao commented, "You're no better than him."

Neither of these two demon lords are any good; they're equally wicked.

However, since he was making empty promises, Ye Qiao could reciprocate. She gripped the bamboo shoot tightly in her hand. "However, compared to that Demon Lord, you do seem more normal. If you want my help, you at least need to find a way to defeat the current Demon Lord first, right?"

"Yes." Mu Li nodded. "So the first step..."

"So our first step should be to seize power," Ye Qiao interjected, "Do you know a general map of the Demon Realm?"

The Demon Lord had a bad feeling, but still gestured for her to continue.

Ye Qiao seemed slightly excited. "My plan is that I will lead Bujianjun to charge up and kill all the demons inside with a few punches and kicks, leaving the Demon Lord with no one to use."

After listening, the Demon Lord looked indifferent: "..." Well done, don't make plans like that next time.

"No," he tried to calm the madman, "I mean, we can think about this further."

"For example, start by cultivating slowly."

Instead of just going around killing all the demons with a few punches and kicks right from the start!

Is this an idea that any human being could come up with?

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiao seemed slightly dejected and slumped onto the table, replying casually, "I haven't made a breakthrough in a long time."

Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Mu Li breathed a sigh of relief and said in a gentle voice, "I remember your cultivation level is at the early Nascent Soul stage?"

However, when he entered Ye Qiao's body, he could feel that all the spiritual energy that was almost squeezing a person to the point of explosion was stored in his body. The density of this spiritual energy was more than enough for the Nascent Soul stage, let alone the Divine Transformation stage.

Ye Qiao nodded: "Yes."

"Have you ever considered seeking external assistance?"

She's trying to borrow some heavenly lightning.

He was clearly unaware that "there is a flower in the Demon Realm called the Half-Immortal Flower".

Ye Qiao put on an eager-to-hear-more look. Mu Li was quite speechless at this hopeless cultivator, but for now, he would raise her first. He understood the principle that you have to feed a horse before you can make it run.

He patiently said, "You can go pick a few and try."

"It can not only improve cultivation level, but also allow cultivators in the bottleneck stage to cross a realm."

However, this method of improvement can lead to an unstable foundation, which can cause various problems. But since demonic cultivators all use this method to break through to higher realms, he told Ye Qiao about it.

Ye Qiao pondered for a moment. No wonder the demon race was so weak. They relied entirely on absorbing the cultivation of others and the treasures of heaven and earth. It would be strange if they weren't weak.

But reaching a higher level did give her some ideas.

She doesn't need spiritual energy, she only needs tribulation lightning. Does that mean she can also pick the flowers and give them to those demonic cultivators who are halfway to the Nascent Soul stage?

The tribulation lightning that demonic cultivators will face at that time will be immense.

Ye Qiao remained calm, but that didn't mean she didn't want to break through her cultivation level. During their trip to the South China Sea, everyone except her senior brother had broken through a cultivation level in unison. She sighed and called out to Meng Liu, "Alright, everything's fine now."

Why did he choose to possess himself? He was just a remnant soul, and instead of succeeding, he was trapped in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Meng Liu carefully observed her several times throughout, and after confirming that Ye Qiao was alright, he followed her out, looking exhausted. Half-probing and half-joking, he asked, "Did you kill the demon lord who possessed you?"

Ye Qiao stretched and said, "Guess?"

Meng Liu didn't dare to think too deeply about what this person had done. When he met her eyes, a chill suddenly ran through him. He turned his head away and calmed down: "I won't guess."

In fact, he didn't completely trust Ye Qiao even after agreeing to cooperate with her, and Meng Liu had already prepared a backup plan so that he could clear his name immediately if things were exposed.

After all, those two lolis were strong, but they hadn't seen Ye Qiao make a move the whole time. If she couldn't guarantee her own safety on her own, Meng Liu wouldn't dare to completely trust this person who was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

……

Ye Qinghan was somewhat bewildered by Xie Chuxue's lavish praise in front of so many people, especially when Xie Chuxue confidently declared that the cultivation world depended on him. He had no idea what to say except to respond.

Although he considered himself extraordinary, he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could handle anything significant.

Xie Chuxue clearly didn't think so; he felt that Ye Qinghan was a little more reliable than Ye Qiao.

He had been guiding Ye Qiao subtly, as if she were a child.

But he discovered that Ye Qiao was a real troublemaker!

When Xie Chuxue was young and mischievous, she liked to wander around the back mountain of Changming Sect, specifically looking for people she didn't like and secretly sticking talismans on their backs.

Ye Qiao was even more shameless than he had been in his youth. He was unsure of how to put the burden on Ye Qiao, and he couldn't bear to do so.

Xie Chuxue remembered that during her many reincarnations, the cultivation world was in turmoil, and it was Ye Qinghan who stepped forward to lead the team and end it all.

Have you made contact with those five people from the Changming Sect?

The elders of the Sword Inquiry Sect felt a headache coming on when they thought of the only sect that always sought special treatment.

All I can say is that Qin Fanfan is incredibly carefree.

They were simply allowed to go out.

"Not yet." The disciple in charge of contacting them helplessly tossed the jade slip aside and said, "The connection has been severed."

……

Unable to contact Changming Sect, the other four sects were forced to hone their tacit understanding and cooperation with each other, but they all grew to loathe each other and chose to go into seclusion.

These past few days have been incredibly busy. Perhaps the sudden attack between the two clans has created a sense of crisis for other aristocratic families, making them realize that they should recruit some strong individuals.

Most of the powerful rogue cultivators have joined major sects. Experts are extremely rare in the cultivation world. When they cannot recruit experts, some aristocratic families inevitably turn their attention to the internal disciples of the five major sects.

They tried to extend an olive branch, hoping to catch a few disciples. Some of the disciples, after discussing it with their sects, actually agreed.

This sparked a wave of talent acquisition.

When Ye Qinghan is mentioned, everyone praises him as a genius.

He rose to fame at a young age and was also the first genius to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before the age of twenty.

"A genius who reached the Nascent Soul stage in just three years. The Ye family is really lucky." One cultivator said sourly.

"The Sword Inquiry Sect is quite lucky; they've picked up a genius for free."

"Isn't anyone trying to recruit Ye Qinghan?"

"Yes, but since he's a member of the Ye family, he'll definitely go to his own home. Even if he accepts the offer, if something really happens, he'll choose to protect his own sect first."

The actions of the Eight Great Families are utterly meaningless.

"But if nothing too serious happens, there's nothing wrong with recruiting some close disciples; they are the reserves for the future ascension list."

Regardless of their current strength, we should recruit them first. They had been planning to do this since the competition ended. Both the Xue family and the Ming family had subtly hinted to their direct descendants and fellow disciples that they should cultivate good relationships with them so that their own families could recruit them later.

But the sudden infiltration of the demon race disrupted their plans.

All their trusted followers have run away! What can they use to recruit them? Later, they offended people, and they were even more unwilling to put aside their pride to make peace, so things have remained deadlocked.

"Leaving aside the other direct disciples, Ye Qinghan was only a teenager at the Nascent Soul stage. If he could break through to the Divine Transformation stage at the age of twenty, that would be quite terrifying."

"So Ye Qinghan still went to the Ye family, right? His main family is a powerful clan with direct descendants who can practically do whatever they want."

"Those with their own loyal followers certainly don't have to worry about not being able to recruit anyone, but who would complain about having too many talented people? We should recruit all the highly talented ones, just in case."

It's clear that cultivators are quite bored, spending their time gossiping about the Eight Great Families and the Five Sects. Unlike modern gossip, which never affects them personally, the changes between the Eight Great Families and the Five Sects involve cultivators in the cultivation world.

Mingxuan hadn't expected the cultivation world to be so lively these past few days.

When he saw a group of powerful families ceding territory and paying reparations to snatch a genius, the smile on his lips gradually flattened.

Depend on! !

"Why did they start robbing people while we were away? And why is Ye Qinghan so expensive?"

Mingxuan was dissatisfied.

Mu Chongxi leaned forward: "I'm not convinced either."

Xue Yu: "Disagree? +1"

Looking at the defiant trio, Zhou Xingyun was speechless.

After taking several dragons from the Dragon Clan, the four of them headlong into the Demon Clan's territory. Fearing that having too many people in their group would attract the attention of other demons, they exchanged a secret signal with the young prince and temporarily separated from the Dragon Clan.

Mingxuan's peach blossom eyes curved slightly. "You're really in high demand, Ye Qinghan."

"Besides, I feel that Yun Que's charm is far less than Ye Qinghan's. Ye Qinghan is simply irresistible to both men and women."

"The reason why the title of 'Number One Beauty' is so well-known is because of this." Xue Yu reflected on himself seriously. "If we had worked harder back then to make his reputation as the 'Number One Beauty' overshadow the former, he might not have had to face all of this."

Ye Qinghan is probably quite withdrawn. Not only are the aristocratic families eyeing him, but even the cultivation world is almost in turmoil. Everyone wants to be number one in the righteous path, and they're starting to compete and bid for him right now.

"He's the one with the highest cultivation right now. If something really happens, he's the one you can rely on." Zhou Xingyun didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

"Snap out of it, everyone. So, how are we going to find them now?" Mingxuan put away the jade slip of his senior brother. The Demon Clan's territory wasn't small, and searching like this would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Let's wait and see." Zhou Xingyun glanced at the sky, remaining unusually calm. "We'll go wherever the commotion is the biggest."

The place where the biggest commotion is is definitely where Junior Sister is.

This is the experience they gained after numerous trials.

Just then, the sword spirit at Mu Chongxi's waist suddenly emerged.

The red sword shadow materialized, and the boy stretched, looking somewhat uncomfortable inside the sword.

"Chaoxi?" He paused, taken aback. Ever since they left the South China Sea, the Chaoxi sword had remained sheathed. "What are you doing out here?"

"I can smell your scent now."

"Are you a dog?" Mu Zhongxi clicked his tongue, amazed that someone could actually smell that.

Chao Xijian was displeased: "You are! You are the one!"

Xue Yu interrupted them: "Have you confirmed the location?"

Sword spirits are very sensitive to each other's auras. Just as a sword spirit can smell the scent of its former master even when it is far away, the red sword spirit can sense each other's presence even after circling around. "Confirmed. In the center of the Demon Realm."

……

These past few days, the eight major families have been offering very high prices. The disciple of the Sword Inquiry Sect, who has the highest martial arts skills, is undoubtedly the most sought-after. He earned a million spirit stones by selling his disciple, and he must be laughing in his dreams.

They were all poor, and Qin Fanfan felt somewhat resentful seeing the Sword Inquiry Sect get rich by selling their disciples.

"What about Xiao Qiao? How much can Xiao Qiao sell for if she's put up for sale?"

The sudden surge of competitive spirit made Qin Fanfan's expression solemn, and she asked a deep question.

Elder Zhao didn't even look up. "They haven't returned yet. Are you in such a hurry to sell them?"

"So it must be Xie Chuxue's fault that they haven't returned to the sect after all this time!" Duan Yu clapped his hands suddenly, concluding the matter.

Xie Chuxue, the source of all evil: "..." What does it have to do with him?

Xie Chuxue, who was hunched over the table arranging various Bagua formations, was innocently caught in the crossfire. He blinked innocently, and under the gaze of a group of people, he thought for a moment and offered a barely perfunctory analysis from a professional perspective: "Xiao Qiao should not be as noble as Ye Qinghan."

"Why should I?" Duan Yu, ever protective of his own, protested. "Isn't our Xiao Qiao's talent higher than Ye Qinghan's?"

"Xiao Qiao's talent is higher than Ye Qinghan's."

"But her restrictions are a bit harsh, haven't you noticed? Other disciples have broken through more easily than her."

Xie Chuxue rolled the beads in her hand while observing the Bagua array on the table. "Instead of finding a talented mentor who may never break through, it's better to find someone like Ye Qinghan who's practically cheating."
