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

"Watching you perform?" Their expressions shifted several times. "Are you sure?"

Is Ye Qiao's performance something that ordinary people would dare to watch?

Shen Ziwei pursed his lips and held out a broken mirror in his palm. "All the cultivators inside the secret realm are looking for us." The mirror clearly reflected human figures. He took a deep breath, looked up, and said, "Given the situation outside, I think we should just stay in the secret realm for now and live a cautious, timid life."

Let's just endure this for now, what else can we do?

The treasure-hunting beast tugged at her clothes. Ye Qiao picked up the little beast and found it whining and trying to rub against her. Then, Jun emerged from the sword and kicked it away, telling it to get lost.

Su Zhuo felt a pang of heartache and looked at Bujian Jun, asking, "Why did you kick it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the treasure-hunting beast scrambled to get closer to the Unseen Lord, its eager attitude resembling that of a sycophant.

Upon seeing this, Su Zhuo's lips twitched, and he quickly muted his microphone.

Ye Qiao hid in the stone mountain of the secret realm. She noticed that all the disciples of several sects had caught up with her. She tilted her head back and secretly began to think about the Bodhi tree. "There are only five fruits on one tree. I wonder if I can take the tree with me."

"Take it away and it won't survive. Besides, the Bodhi tree only bears fruit once every hundred years, and by then we probably won't need it anymore." Song Hansheng bluntly retorted. Once the Bodhi fruit falls to the ground, the tree will be of little use. Everyone wants the fruit; who cares about the tree?

Ye Qiao: "So this fruit is so rare?" She immediately chimed in, "Then we'll take three Bodhi fruits, and you can divide the remaining two as you see fit."

"???"

"On what grounds?"

Their cultivation levels are generally at the late or peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and they only need one fruit to reach the Divine Transformation stage, making the temptation quite great.

If the Changming Sect takes three of them at once, how will each sect divide one among them?

Ye Qiao's expression remained unchanged. She hid behind Ming Xuan, holding the five Bodhi fruits firmly in her hand. She raised an eyebrow and said, "These five fruits are mine."

Ji Huan rested his chin on his hand, speaking slowly and deliberately, "You took it, so can you handle those crazy cultivators outside all by yourself?"

They have always been in a competitive relationship, and since it concerns their own interests, how could they easily let Ye Qiao gain an advantage?

In the Great Secret Realm, regardless of your cultivation level, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, all beings are equal. Therefore, even if Ye Qiao possessed extraordinary abilities, she couldn't unleash them.

Shen Ziwei nodded in agreement, arguing logically, "That's right, it's not that we don't want to help you, it's just that you're faster. Everyone will be working together, so why should you get three?"

Well, it seems the Chengfeng Sect members are united in their hatred of the enemy.

Apart from Fang Zhiyao remaining silent, Duan Hengdao nodded repeatedly, "We can't expect you to have everything."

Ye Qiao tried to find a comrade to stand with: "Duan Hengdao, aren't I your best brother?"

"I'll keep you in my heart as a brother. You'll have to bear the consequences yourself." Duan Hengdao waved his hands repeatedly, pointing to the image in the mirror. "Those cultivators outside are searching for you like madmen."

To put it bluntly, in terms of physical skills, Xue Yu of the Changming Sect is better than me.

If you offend all the cultivators in the secret realm, you'll likely find yourself with nowhere to escape.

Ye Qiao was too flamboyant in her actions. If she had left a few Bodhi Fruits for them to fight over, they wouldn't be the target of everyone's criticism now.

Ye Qiao was so fast that before Qin Huai could even touch the Bodhi fruit, all five of them were already in her arms.

Song Hansheng glanced at the image in the mirror and said, "How about two from our Yueqing Sect, one from Chengfeng Sect, and two of you?"

Zhai Chen chimed in, "Anyway, the cultivation levels of your Changming Sect are generally quite high, so there's no point in having so many. Ye Qiao... you need even less, right? Your Heavenly Spiritual Root can automatically convert and absorb spiritual energy, so you don't lack any rare treasures. Even if you get the Bodhi Fruit, it's better than nothing."

Ye Qiao broke through to the Nascent Soul stage by relying on the spiritual energy gathered from the South China Sea, while they didn't need many restrictions to break through to the Nascent Soul stage; a single Bodhi fruit was enough to easily achieve a breakthrough.

After all, Ye Qiao was the one who was restricted the most.

Even if she were given the Bodhi Fruit, she would still be unable to break through to the next level.

This attempt at moral blackmail amused Mingxuan. "Oh, well, you're already so old, and since you're just wasting your time living anyway, why don't you just stop living?"

Ye Qiao looked up, tossing the Bodhi fruit in her hand, "Actually, I'm not that stingy."

The others remained silent, but inwardly they all sneered, thinking, "I don't believe you for a second."

Ye Qiao of the Changming Sect is as cunning as a hole in the ground.

Sure enough, Ye Qiao smiled and said, "Actually, it wouldn't be a problem to give you all five Bodhi fruits, would it?"

"...?"

They were somewhat wary. When did Ye Qiao become so generous?

She was a vicious stepmother who could starve her own spirit to the point of madness; she was incredibly poor and stingy. Her sudden outburst of such generosity left Mingxuan speechless: "Huh??"

Seriously? Junior sister?

Seeing the delighted expressions on the others' faces, Ye Qiao continued, "It's alright if I give you all five. Since you're destined for greatness, you'll surely be able to easily resolve the turmoil between the demon and monster races!"

Her voice was loud, causing Su Zhuo's expression to freeze for a moment before he forced a smile and said, "You really know how to joke, Ye Qiao. How could we possibly resolve the turmoil between the two tribes?"

Even if they obtain the Bodhi Fruit, they will only reach the Nascent Soul stage at best. But can the turmoil between those two races be easily quelled by a Nascent Soul cultivator?!

So many experts at the Nascent Soul, Void Refinement, and even Integration stages have all mobilized, yet there's still no sign of calm.

"Then I'll give you all the Bodhi fruits. Can you rush in and wipe out all the demons in a few punches and kicks, then come and let me know?"

"That's naturally impossible."

"Please, please." Ye Qiao leaned back, "Just let me be a useless piece of trash." She wasn't being sarcastic at all, after all, this was a salted fish's lifelong wish and pursuit.

If the powerful figures in the cultivation world had any backbone, how could they have fallen to this state today?

"..."

The others were nearly driven mad by her few words.

If they could handle these things, would they still have been excluded from Xie Chuxue's plans?

Xie Chuxue's criteria for disciples were very clear: he only wanted sword cultivators.

Or perhaps a direct disciple of someone at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

No matter how rare a genius is, as long as they are not a sword cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator, they have no face to speak of in front of Uncle Xie.

Song Hansheng discovered that she really knew the art of speaking; after a series of questions, she left everyone speechless.

Ye Qiao's implication was clear: even if they gave them all the Bodhi Fruits, they still couldn't kill all the demons or defeat the Demon Lord, so what use would they be?

Fang Zhiyao touched the tip of her nose and said weakly, "Then it'll be three for you and one for us."

Those who understand the times are wise; Ye Qiao never expected that her final confidant would be this fourth brother of the Chengfeng Sect.

Fang Zhiyao, that traitor, surrendered too quickly. Qin Huai glared at his junior brother several times in resentment, but was forced to accept the result. Well, it's better than getting nothing at all. Seeing Ye Qiao's confident words, he lowered his eyes, his voice tinged with laughter, and said softly, "Then you'd better have a way to deal with the cultivators outside."

"Don't threaten me." Ye Qiao leaned back tactically and smiled. "Otherwise, if I get scared, I won't be able to think of a solution, and we'll all perish together."

Qin Huai: "..." You didn't even flinch in front of the Demon Emperor, what are you afraid of, Bull Demon?

After the distribution of the five Bodhi fruits was completed, the Changming Sect received three, while the other two sects each received only one. So, who should receive the Bodhi fruits became a matter worth discussing.

The two senior disciples from the two sects naturally didn't need to. Both of them were currently at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. They could easily break through to the Divine Transformation stage by asking the Azure Water Sect for a Breakthrough Pill.

The benefits of Bodhi fruit are greater for others.

Su Zhuo suggested, "Then let's give them to our respective junior brothers and sisters?"

Duan Hengdao was flattered and said, "No, thank you."

He didn't want this honor.

Everyone knows that with the most resources comes the greatest responsibility. He's not Ye Qiao, and he can't control the situation every time.

"Why don't you just cut them apart? What's there to hesitate about? You're just one step away from success. Even a small portion of Bodhi Fruit has decades of cultivation. With your talent, even if you use them separately, with a little effort, it should be enough for you to break through." Ye Qiao stuck her head out and said this, which was purely a case of talking without understanding the situation, after all, she was someone who possessed three Bodhi Fruits.

Song Hansheng thought there was some truth to it, "Then let's cut it in half?"

"It's useless to keep it now; it will only make us easy targets for monsters. A small piece isn't enough to break through quickly in the secret realm. Let's divide it up."

Monsters have a very keen sense of smell. Once a fruit ripens, holding a Bodhi fruit makes you a sitting duck.

Qin Huai, being a man of action, divided the fruit into five pieces. While the two sects were dividing the Bodhi fruit, Ye Qiao nudged Ming Xuan, "Second Senior Brother, do you want some?"

Mingxuan shook his head, analyzing rationally, "Let's wait a bit. The situation is constantly changing. We should save this rare fruit for now."

The Changming Sect gives things to whoever needs them.

Ye Qiao nodded. On the other side, after the five members of Chengfeng Sect hurriedly finished eating the Bodhi Fruit, Duan Hengdao hurriedly notified everyone, "Get ready, those cultivators are coming after us."

There is still one and a half days left until the end of the dungeon.

At Duan Hengdao's urgent announcement, everyone instinctively reached for their swords and talismans. There was no going back; they had to deal with the demon kings and the cultivators all at once. Just thinking about it gave them a headache.

The four members of the Moon Purity Sect each guarded one of the four corners. They simultaneously threw talismans into the air, and pale blue marks swept across the killing formation and formed on the spot. Mingyi's voice was cold and clear, "The formation can't kill them. After all, we are all at the Golden Core stage, and there are too many of them. We can only hold them off for a while."

"Then let's use an array to stop them for now," Ye Qiao said. "The demon kings have also sensed the aura of the Bodhi Fruit and are on their way. Once the two sides meet, we can take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters."

Mingyi nodded: "Okay."

"However, I'm afraid their target is you."

The others did not have the aura of Bodhi Fruit, but she was holding three in her hand, making her a complete sitting duck.

Ye Qiao blinked: "It's okay, they won't hurt me."

"Oh ho." Quite confident, huh? "Why should I? The demon kings outside are practically ready to devour you alive."

Ye Qiao replied cryptically, "This is a matter of feng shui. Different lands nurture different demon kings. Do you believe that the demon kings in the secret realm wouldn't dare to lay a finger on me?"

"Haha." No one else made a sound, except for Mingxuan, who gave a bitter laugh. He really wanted to ask Ye Qiao if she had been courting death again during the time she disappeared.

Mingxuan is already quite mentally strong, but every time he teams up with Ye Qiao, he still feels a sense of "Wow, this is so exciting, I feel like I've reached the climax of my life" and even a kind of breakdown.
