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

A voice drifted from the book, and a blurry figure materialized before my eyes. The person who spoke was exceptionally kind, as if it were a casual, unintentional question.

He was certain that Ye Qiao was a direct descendant of the Changming Sect because of the clothes she was wearing.

Moreover, the movements were light and graceful, an effect unique to the Changming Sect's "Stepping on the Breeze."

But now he was a little uncertain. After all, putting aside the five sword spirits around her, the Dark Book and the Bright Moon Arrow belonged to the Moon Cleansing Sect and the Sword Inquiry Sect, didn't they?

The physical techniques, based on the Changming Sect, also bear the influence of the dragon race.

Which family does this kid belong to? This is a completely unheard-of lineage.

Hearing the sound, Ye Qiao perked up.

Here it comes!

The legendary old man with the golden touch?

Upon seeing the other party appear, Ye Qiao immediately felt immense admiration, clasped her hands together, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Grandmaster?"

His attitude was devout, and there was not a single fault with it.

"Whose descendant are you?"

The patriarch ignored her attempts to get closer to him and instead smiled and repeated the previous question.

Ye Qiao then remembered to introduce herself. She quickly stood up straight, "Ye Qiao, a direct disciple of the Changming Sect."

Changming Sect? Personal disciple? ??

The patriarch seemed somewhat shocked, "Is it really from the Changming Sect?"

"Yes," Ye Qiao replied obediently. "What about me doesn't seem like it?"

"..." No, the main problem is that her methods are too unconventional, which makes it difficult even for the founder to discern which sect she belongs to.

And pretending to be innocent won't work; don't think he didn't hear her smug "I really want to get beaten up."

"You..." Ye Qiao hesitated for a moment, glancing around for a while before cautiously asking, "Are you the patriarch who cleaved the peace between the righteous and evil paths with a single sword strike?"

She was somewhat excited and subconsciously touched the Flying Immortal Sword, making a couple of random gestures.

As sword cultivators, they all have a bit of a chuunibyou (delusional) side to them; who wouldn't yearn to bring peace with a single sword strike?

Just thinking about it makes me feel cool.

"How did you know?" the other person asked curiously.

He probably didn't leave behind any trace of his image in the cultivation world that people would remember him for, right?

Ye Qiao quickly replied, "Those sword energies that attacked me just now." Sword energy is the best way to identify someone. "My senior brother has heard about your deeds many times and has inquired about all sorts of information, so he has some understanding of your sword energy."

The most representative sword cultivator of the Changming Sect is probably this patriarch who created what can only be described as a miracle.

The sword shadow of this patriarch is easy to recognize.

The sword's shadow was like bamboo.

Resilient and upright.

It's hard not to suspect the other party's identity.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you guess wrong, the other party is unlikely to care about such a small thing, but if you guess right, you can definitely gain a lot of goodwill.

As expected, after she guessed correctly, the patriarch's smile never faded.

"You managed to find me in the demon race's library, is there some problem?"

To be able to infiltrate the demon race, one must possess considerable skill.

But upon closer inspection, he realized that this disciple did not possess any trace of the Changming Sect's heritage, meaning that she was not the future successor of the Changming Sect.

Just from her cheeky remark, "I really want to be beaten up," you can tell she's definitely not cut out to be a sect leader.

"Grandmaster, Grandmaster." Ye Qiao genuinely had a question to ask, and she couldn't wait: "Does the book you left behind contain any record of converting demon race inner cores?"

"No, but it records the habits of most demonic beasts, as well as some of their weaknesses. Perhaps it can be of some help to you."

"If you want to convert a demon core, you can use your own spiritual root to help you convert it slowly. If you're not in a hurry, you can save it and do it slowly."

After listening, Ye Qiao looked up and answered honestly, "Actually, I'm quite anxious."

With the cultivation world on the verge of destruction, how can we not be anxious?

Ye Qiao met the slightly confused look in her ancestor's eyes, and she quickly explained the recent friction and chaotic situation between the demon and human races.

After listening, the patriarch pondered for a long time before slowly asking her, "Instead of thinking about how to change the situation, why not try to find the traitor within the sect first?"

Ye Qiao shrugged: "We can't find anyone to suspect, and besides, we're just a bunch of juniors. How could we dare to go against the elders?"

They were powerless to do anything; the only thing they could probably do was try to change the situation.

Ye Qiao's criticism was indeed quite reasonable. The Grandmaster then remained silent for a moment, "Have you ever considered that the other party might be a cultivator who has already ascended to immortality?"

Hiding one's head and revealing one's tail indicates that the other party's strength is not high. Some ascended cultivators simply cannot enter the cultivation world. Even if they can enter, their realm is suppressed. This is the same reason why the Great Secret Realm does not allow those with excessively high realms to appear.

No matter how high one's cultivation level, once one enters the secret realm, all beings are equal.

"We've considered that possibility," Ye Qiao said truthfully. They had practically suspected every single elder they knew, so how could they not have considered this possibility? "But if that's really the case, why would he want to harm our cultivation world?"

"Perhaps he was left in the cultivation world for some unknown reason, which is why he instigated the Demon Lord and the Demon Emperor to open the Heavenly Gate, so that he could return to his original place." The Ancestral Master wasn't exactly a genius; he was just a sword cultivator, so he could only analyze the situation from multiple perspectives.

But it must be said that what the patriarch said makes a lot of sense.

If you don't get involved in any melodramatic love-hate relationships, the truth is probably just as simple and unadorned.

However, even knowing that the person was most likely a powerful being who had already ascended to immortality, their identity and background remained shrouded in mystery.

They couldn't catch a single clue, and it seemed they could only wait for the other side to step forward. That day wouldn't be too far off. If the sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect lost, the cultivation world would truly be the domain of the Demon Lord, and then that person could openly step forward.

After receiving a reply, Ye Qiao continued, "I have another question."

"Did you cleave the Demon Abyss with the Flying Immortal Sword?" She eagerly raised the Flying Immortal Sword, still very curious about her ancestor's experience of becoming a god in a single battle.

"Um?"

"No, that's not it." He smiled gently, unsure where the child's misunderstanding came from. He glanced at the Flying Immortal Sword and said in a mild voice, "But it is indeed very powerful."

He was genuinely surprised to see Ye Qiao with so many spirit swords, and four of them had taken human form.

This child's talent is unparalleled.

It can support four sword spirits transforming in one go.

"The Flying Immortal Sword is very powerful, but how far it can go ultimately depends on you."

Ye Qiao was slightly taken aback. "I know that the Flying Immortal Sword becomes stronger when it encounters a stronger opponent, but I'm not really sure to what extent it can reach."

He chuckled. "How powerful you are when you use it, the Flying Immortal Sword can reach any standard you desire. Strictly speaking, the Flying Immortal Sword has no upper limit."

As the former number one spirit sword, the Flying Immortal Sword has no upper limit to its strength, which is the most outstanding aspect of this sword spirit.

"It is the person who is strong, not the sword."

"So when you feel you are strong enough, it will have a miraculous effect." He finished speaking with a smile, and Ye Qiao suddenly understood.

"I see."

Ye Qiao felt that the founder must be quite satisfied with her, otherwise they wouldn't have talked for so long. She was particularly unwilling to give up, "So there really isn't anything good for me?"

Are you really going to make them rely entirely on their own efforts?

"..." The patriarch had never seen such shamelessness before, and it was the first time he had ever seen someone so eager to ask for things.

He seemed thoughtful. "Do you know what the rules of our Changming Sect are?"

amount.

Ye Qiao: "We actually have sect rules?"

The patriarch fell silent, a rare occurrence.

That's it.

"Come here." He gestured for Ye Qiao to take a step forward.
