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

"Try to think positively." He smiled slightly and patted Ye Qinghan's shoulder casually.

The feud between Qin Huai and Ye Qinghan can be simply summarized as the perennial second-place student's anger towards the top student in the grade.

Qin Huai really couldn't stand to see Ye Qinghan doing well.

Chu Xingzhi sneered, saying that Qin Huai was just jealous of his outstanding senior brother.

Putting aside their past grievances, Ye Qiao was somewhat puzzled as to why she couldn't leave no matter what. The blessings gradually subsided, and the entire Jade Cry Peak was filled with people.

After their initial excitement, the group from Changming Sect fell into a long silence.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, even though there were thousands or even tens of thousands of Changming Sect disciples, many of whom they didn't even know, they still felt sad. What's worse, they couldn't even leave behind any corpses.

Xie Chuxue felt it was alright; at least compared to the previous situation, it was much better now.

Some of the disciples cleaned up the battlefield, while the rest surrounded Ye Qiao, hesitant to say something. Chu Ling told them directly, "Ye Qiao is here to prove her Dao and participate in the trial."

Penglai has always been skilled in divination, but how much she can predict depends on how much Heaven wants her to know.

After everything was settled, and since Heaven hadn't warned her, Chu Ling blurted everything out. She wanted to prove that the people of Penglai Island weren't professional shamans!

Proving the Way...

"You mean to say that this is Ye Qiao's tribulation trial?" Everyone was taken aback, and their expressions were not good.

One's own world is merely a trial set up by the laws of nature; anyone would feel frustrated in that situation.

Chu Ling: "Pretty much. Her task is to deal with the Seventh Elder and Yun Que."

"Then why can't we leave?" Miao Miao asked, resting her chin on her hand.

They were all people who had gone through the Nascent Soul Trial and knew that they could leave after succeeding in the trial, but Ye Qiao showed no signs of being able to leave.

"Perhaps it's still a bit lacking..." Chu Ling calculated with her fingers, then focused her mind, "It's still missing one opportunity."

Ye Qiao quickly looked at Xie Chuxue, hoping the expert could offer some guidance, but Xie Chuxue shrugged, indicating that she couldn't help.

Junior Uncle was clearly not going to reveal anything to me.

It's true that hoping for a snowfall is like hoping a pig can climb a tree.

"The sect leader's token is in my hands." Ye Qiao seemed to have thought of something, and with a flick of her wrist, she prepared to return it to the other party.

Xie Chuxue retreated tactically, but said, "No need, you can take it with you."

This sect leader's token is really a bit useless. Although it can manage the elders, it will be difficult to deal with if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives. Nowadays, the cultivation world is short of talent. Those who have ascended have ascended, and those who haven't either live in seclusion or are in seclusion and don't care about anything else.

When it comes to crucial moments, they can't even find someone to help them.

Xie Chuxue calculated that it was about time and Ye Qiao should leave, so he smiled and said, "Rounding it up, you are actually my disciple."

He accepted it on behalf of Qin Fanfan, but Xie Chuxue was her real master, the one who drank the tea she drank when she became her disciple.

"Come, call me Master."

Ye Qiao: "..."

She said respectfully, "Master."

Xie Chuxue was indeed satisfied. With a flick of her sleeve, she placed the Sect Master's Token into her palm. "Take it with you."

The system of determining suzerainty based on strength is unacceptable.

Xie Chuxue gestured for the token to get lost. After this was over, he would study the new token of Changming Sect. The old token was a hot potato, so it wouldn't be bad to pass it on to Ye Qiao.

Ye Qiao looked at the token with a conflicted expression.

She was actually quite useful; the Seventh Elder held the Sect Master's Token, while she only had a fake one.

Although the sect leader's token only recognizes those with higher cultivation levels, the token is still in the hands of the Seventh Elder, who can use it. If I had one myself, things would be much simpler.

Xie Chuxue even maliciously asked her, "Don't you want to see your fellow disciples bowing their heads?"

Once the sect leader's decree was issued, the sect leader and his disciples of the First Sect had no choice but to bow their heads.

Although she could make them submit through her cultivation level, it's not the same.

They had to respectfully address him as "Sect Leader".

For no other reason than the title of sect leader, or more accurately, to be on the safe side, taking it with me is a good option.

So Ye Qiao shamefully agreed and accepted the token.

The moment she received the token, a road suddenly appeared on the horizon, and everyone present's eyes lit up.

Ye Qiao also became excited. Did that mean she could leave?

Xue Yu's mind was somewhat fuzzy.

"Junior Sister..." He subconsciously wanted to say something to persuade her to stay.

Although they had only known each other for a month, he felt as if he had known the other person for a long time.

No, she does know them.

If this is where she attained enlightenment, it means she comes from another place. The similar alchemy techniques and the fact that she was able to bypass all the traps and enter the forbidden area without any obstacles all indicate that she is a disciple of their sect.

Ye Qiao also subconsciously turned around to look at them.

She wanted to say something, but felt a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to say goodbye, the passage that had been open started to close halfway through.

Ye Qiao: "?"

Her expression was slightly blank; she didn't understand what Heaven was up to.

"What the hell is this?"

Xue Yu was stunned for a few seconds before quickly grabbing Chu Ling and asking.

Although he was reluctant to part with her, he never considered forcibly cutting off his junior sister's chance to return home.

Chu Ling: "..."

She hurriedly tried to calculate, but this time she couldn't figure anything out, and could only shake her head at them.

Xie Chuxue remained unmoved as she watched the passage about to close, her gaze unexpectedly falling on Mu Chongxi.

Mu Chongxi clearly didn't get the look in his uncle's eyes.

At that very moment, a silver sword light burst open like a star, and Zhou Xingyun, who had been lifeless, holding the Dust-Breaking Sword, suddenly said slowly, "The trial is closed."

Ye Qiao nodded subconsciously, looking at Zhou Xingyun.

Zhou Xingyun's heart softened, and he thought his junior sister was indeed adorable. The young man slightly raised his hand, and his sword intent, like silver stars, lit up with astonishing light.

"What if we forcefully split it open?"

His words were a bit too alarming, but Zhou Xingyun was clearly serious. He raised his hand and gestured up and down at the slightly closed passage, obviously considering where to start chopping.

Xie Chuxue almost gave him a thumbs up, praising her junior apprentice's advanced thinking.

Zhou Xingyun had an extremely low presence, like a ghost, as did the sword shadow of the falling sword. With the sixth move of the Qingfeng Technique, a hurricane accompanied by a powerful tearing force cleaved open a small gap in the slowly closing passage.

--it works.

But in terms of strength, Mu Chongxi is more suitable.

In a flash, Ye Qiao vaguely understood something.

Seeing this, Mu Chongxi quickly drew his sword: "Let me give it a try."

Ye Qinghan, a kind-hearted resident of the cultivation world, also wanted to help, but Zhu You stopped him, shaking her head at him, "No."

This was not an opportunity for him.

Ye Qinghan looked bewildered: "Why?"

I am filled with sorrow and lamentation.

Her senior brother is a simpleton who only knows how to fight. No wonder he's so easily manipulated.

It's clear that Heaven intends to give Mu Chongxi a final opportunity.

If a passage is opened halfway and then closed, can it be split open? Yes.

Only the Qingfeng Technique of the Changming Sect can cleave it open.

It's no joke that the patriarch opened up peace with a single sword strike back then; nothing is beyond his reach. Once the passage is wide enough for Ye Qiao to pass through, the sword cultivators of Changming Sect will be able to make a big splash, and the crowd below who came to become disciples because of Ye Qiao will be appeased.

After all, it doesn't matter that one person has gone through a tribulation. With such potential among the direct disciples of Changming Sect, there will surely be thousands upon thousands more who will also undergo tribulations in the future.

Not only did it bring great prestige to the Changming Sect, but perhaps...

It can also force out Mu Chongxi's sword intent.

Killing two birds with one stone.

"Heaven truly favors this sect," Qin Huai said sourly.

Others couldn't help but sigh, "Who can argue with that? Every step was meticulously planned."

Despite their words, they knew perfectly well that if they could save the cultivation world from its dire straits, Heaven would naturally be willing to help them.

With Zhou Xingyun's guidance, Mu Chongxi perked up this time and started joking. This was about whether Ye Qiao could leave. He had always been disappointing, often scolded by the elders in the sect for his unruly character. Despite his excellent aptitude, he lacked ambition and was deemed unfit for any great task.

Mu Chongxi wasn't as sensitive as Ming Xuan; she let the scolding go in one ear and out the other.

However, he was also a cultivator of the Dao of Inquiry.

He has a firm belief in the Dao and an excellent temperament.

Whether something can be accomplished depends on whether he wants to, not whether he can.

"I wish you peace, junior sister." While Mu Chongxi was clearing the passage, Ming Xuan shoved everything in his hand into her hands, gave her a good rub on the head, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and his light brown peach blossom eyes seemed a little tender.

If their world is this dangerous, how much more dangerous must Ye Qiao's own world be?

May you have a safe and peaceful journey.

Ye Qiao was stunned by the wave of donations from the top donor.

Mingxuan is always decisive in her actions, and seeing this, the others quickly stuffed all the items into her hands to express their gratitude.

Ye Qiao realized that she really didn't have any usable resources, so she accepted them without hesitation.

Xue Yu gave her several alchemy furnaces and stuffed the spiritual plants he had in his hand into her hands. After all, he didn't have much else to give her. If they had the chance to meet again in the future...

He will definitely leave all the pills to her.

Zhou Xingyun didn't dawdle. After handing over what he had learned over the years to his junior sister, he solemnly told her that if she had any problems after returning home, she could ask for help from his other self in another world.

In this world, only the eldest brother is the best.

After he finished speaking, he nodded, feeling that what he had said was quite philosophical.

Ye Qiao: "..."

After saying goodbye to the three, the passage was cleaved open by the young man's sword. This time, she stepped into the trial passage without hesitation. At the same time, Ye Qiao also clearly saw Mu Chongxi's sword aura.

The sword flashed white, charging forward fearlessly and boldly.

Just like him.

She couldn't help but look back.

He met Mu Zhongxi's bright, star-like eyes.

A sword for a thousand autumns, dedicated only to you.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

The boy's clear voice rang in her ears, "Junior Sister, until we meet again."

"You must remember me," Mu Chongxi added after thinking for a moment.

His words carried a youthful stubbornness and earnestness.

In the days that followed, when we never saw each other again.

Please, don't forget me.
