After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister of a celestial sect, the cultivation world wen

Ning Yue naturally knew that Qi Bei would suspect her.

Qi Bei will definitely send someone to question her, or even arrest her directly.

However, Ning Yue did not try to conceal it too much, precisely to make Qi Bei feel anxious and fearful.

And then occasionally reveal half-true, half-false information to the other party.

So the message Qi Bei received became—

Ningning is a beautiful woman in her early twenties.

The information was even precise, describing a fair-skinned, large-eyed, short-statured rogue cultivator who was barely at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Qi Bei frowned: "How is that possible?"

He now has a stress response whenever he hears the word "Ning".

This shows how much they fear Ning Yue.

Subconsciously, they mistook this suddenly appearing rogue cultivator who had stolen everyone's attention for Ning Yue.

The disciples below replied with some confusion.

"That's true. The opponent has a mutated ice spirit root, so it's normal that he has outstanding talent and superb strength."

A hint of wariness flashed in Qi Bei's eyes.

The fact that Ning Yue possessed five spiritual roots was known throughout the entire cultivation world.

Using ice magic shouldn't be too difficult.

We must not let our guard down.

"You may leave." Qi Bei frowned and waved his hand, a dark light surging in his eyes.

……

"Can one person participate in multiple competitions?" Fang Xun was somewhat surprised to hear this news.

"Has this really been added to the rules?"

Liu Fengyi nodded: "Not bad."

"...Is it really necessary?" Li Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement. "The only one who could do that back then was probably Ning Yue."

Xiao Chu, the sect leader of Qitian Sect, had also heard of Ning Yue's reputation, and was still surprised to see everyone discussing it like this.

"Is Ning Yue really as powerful as the rumors said?"

"Even more so," Fang Xun shook his head with a sigh. "I wonder what that girl is doing now."

Although Ning Yue and the direct disciples of the Fusang Sect remained silent for the past five years.

There are even rumors circulating that Ning Yue died in the lower realm long ago.

But these sect leaders didn't believe it.

Director Xiao said with some regret, "It's a pity I can't see her beauty in person."

Liu Fengyi lowered her eyes and looked down at the disciples' seats, then snorted.

"This year's Heavenly Ranking Competition is quite interesting."

Director Xiao immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Fang Xun and Li Xuan's expressions simultaneously became somewhat subtle.

"You mean... that rogue cultivator?"

"Not bad," Liu Fengyi nodded. "It looks very interesting."

Ningning's reputation wasn't just known among the disciples; even the sect leaders, who sat at their seats all day, had heard of her.

Fang Xun and Li Xuan exchanged a silent smile.

"I'd really like to meet this Ningning..."

After a moment, Qi Bei came in.

The group stopped discussing Ningning without prior arrangement and returned to their seats.

Qi Bei's expression was somewhat somber, his gaze constantly shifting among the disciples below.

The rest of the people were looking down at their noses and contemplating their own thoughts.

Liu Fengyi asked directly, "Why are you suddenly allowed to participate in multiple competitions? Wasn't this the decision you made in the first place that it wasn't allowed?"

Having learned from Ning Yue's previous experience of exploiting loopholes in the rules to participate in multiple competitions,

Before this year's Tongtian Ranking began, Qi Bei decided to plug this loophole.

If everyone could participate in multiple competitions like Ning Yue, what would the Tongtian Ranking Competition become?

Wouldn't all sorts of disciples and cultivators want to join in the fun?

It affects the order and process of the competition.

But who could have imagined that Ningning would suddenly appear out of nowhere! She disrupted his plans, to the point that he now had to change the rules.

Qi Bei said, "Some disciples suggested that since this is a rare opportunity for sparring, it would be better to make it more interesting..."

"Moreover, there might be someone like Ning Yue back then, so we should give our disciples some opportunities."

When he said this, they didn't believe him. Each of them had their own considerations and quickly changed the subject.

Fang Xun said, "Today is the alchemy competition. I wonder how strong these disciples are."

Li Xuan chuckled: "I wonder if we'll ever encounter the same situation again."

"That's quite rare..." Fang Xun said with a smile.

They were referring to the incident from the last Heavenly Ranking, where Ning Yue directly refined a Heavenly-grade pill.

Everyone glanced cautiously at Qi Bei.

Qi Bei didn't speak, but it was obvious that the air pressure around him had dropped.

The thoughts of the others became even more subtle.

……

Yu Chuan unexpectedly ran into Ning Yue outside the alchemy competition arena.

He stepped forward and asked, "Ningning, are you still here? I thought the competition was over and you had already left."

Ning Yue retorted, "What are you doing here?"

"Junior brother is participating in the alchemy competition." He didn't want to waste any more time talking about his junior brother.

He deliberately changed the subject, saying, "Have you heard? This year's Heavenly Ranking allows one person to participate in multiple competitions."

Ning Yue was somewhat surprised: "Wasn't the previous Heavenly Ranking already acceptable?"

"The reason for the last competition was the emergence of Ning Yue, and there were no rules that prohibited it."

He said in a strange tone, "But this competition already stipulated that it wasn't allowed, but yesterday they suddenly said it was allowed again, which is a bit strange..."

Ning Yue raised one eyebrow.

It seems that Qi Bei prepared this specifically for her, just waiting for her to jump in.

Yu Chuan chatted casually: "This rule is completely unnecessary, unless another person like Ning Yue from back then appears."

Ning Yue's gaze drifted slightly.

He thought to himself, there is no one like Ning Yue back then, but Ning Yue himself has come.

She smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps some truly remarkable people will emerge this year."

Many alchemy disciples had already gathered on the field, waiting for the competition to begin.

Many others are engrossed in reading, striving to learn as much as possible.

Yu Chuan shook his head and said, "Ning Yue is someone who only appears once every few thousand or hundred years. It would be extremely difficult for another one to appear now."

"It's a pity that the Qitian Sect wasn't strong enough back then, and I wasn't strong enough either, otherwise I would have been able to see what that person looked like."

Ning Yue thought to herself, "You've already seen it."

Although she blurred the impressions and memories of others, she retained Yu Chuan's.

After sparring with Ning Yue, Yu Chuan completely shed his reliable older brother persona.

He already regards Ning Yue, who has guided him a lot, as a good teacher and friend.

He remarked this to Ning Yue himself.

"Actually, I also came to the previous Tongtian Ranking, but I was too weak and only sparred with other sects."

"If I had known, I should have focused on my cultivation. Maybe I would have had a chance to spar with Ning Yue."

Ning Yue asked, "What level were you at back then?"

Yu Chuan recalled for a moment: "Peak Foundation Establishment stage, I guess..."

"No way, that's too weak." Ning Yue interrupted mercilessly, "Back then, Ning Yue was already at the Nascent Soul stage."

Yu Chuan: "..."

"Oh," he said softly.

He was just saying it casually. The two of them are worlds apart in terms of cultivation level. How could he possibly have a real chance to spar with Ning Yue? It's not even his turn.

"But you've made great progress." Ning Yue gave him a slap followed by a sweet treat, praising him affirmatively.

"In just a few years, you've already become the second-ranked sword cultivator."
