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

The sect leaders looked at Ning Yue with regret, muttering something under their breath.

He was simply lamenting that he hadn't discovered Ning Yue first and brought her into his sect, feeling both angry and frustrated.

In the end, they were all glared at and shut down by the elders in charge of law enforcement and alchemy.

Qi Bei actually put on a loving expression as he looked at Ning Yue.

"Ning Yue is indeed a genius, and he is very likely to become the first person to ascend to immortality in thousands of years."

The words "first place" were pronounced with a slight emphasis.

Ning Yue looked up at him expressionlessly.

Wasn't he just trying to make her hate him by saying that?

That old man has such a small mind.

After all, everyone in the hall is a cultivator who has been practicing for decades or even hundreds of years.

By attaching the title of "Number One in a Thousand Years" to Ning Yue, a child who is only twelve years old, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied.

Ning Yue's gaze was cold as he calmly said, "Sect Leader Qi is being far too self-deprecating. Among all the powerful figures present, who is not stronger than me?"

"You powerful figures don't seem to mind this undeserved title I've been given, after all, ascension is still a long way off for me. Yet Sect Master Qi ignores you all. Does that mean you look down on them?"

……

Qi Bei was taken aback.

Even the powerful figures in the room were somewhat stunned.

To be honest, I haven't quite realized it yet.

After all, Ning Yue's terrifying strength and talent had already left a deep impression on everyone.

Perhaps everyone has thought in their hearts that Ning Yue might be the best in thousands of years, but no one has said it out loud.

Now that Qi Bei has spoken out, Ning Yue has just added fuel to the fire.

We have to show our appreciation.

Qi Bei immediately realized that he had been so confused that he blurted out the words.

Everyone around him looked at him coldly.

Qi Bei, anxious, explained, "I was merely expressing my admiration for young friend Ning Yue's strength; I did not mean to disregard you all."

Ning Yue is now a confirmed Heavenly-level Alchemist.

The only one of its kind here.

To show respect, one should not use more intimate terms such as "junior brother" or "nephew," but rather address him as "young friend" given his young age.

Ning Yue did not answer.

Ji Feng casually replied, "It doesn't matter to us, but we can't say that in front of outsiders."

"Those in the know will understand that you are praising Ning Yue's talent, but those who don't will think you are deliberately exaggerating to frame Ning Yue, which would be bad."

After all, there are many old masters in the cultivation world who are unable to ascend themselves and want to cripple the wings of others as well.

"Of course," Qi Bei said, breaking out in a cold sweat, "of course I didn't mean that."

Ji Feng gave Qi Bei a heads-up, and that was the end of it.

Fang Xun asked, "May I ask what kind of pill that Heaven-grade pill is?"

"Holy Spirit Pill." Ning Yue looked at him and said casually.

"Holy Spirit Pill—!? This thing is not easy to make!" Li Xuan couldn't help but blurt out.

Even the only two Earth-level alchemists in the cultivation world, Immortal Venerable Ziyang and Immortal Venerable Qingxuan.

In other words, neither the alchemy elder nor Fang Xun, the sect leader of Chixiao Sect, could refine a high-grade Holy Spirit Pill.

Ning Yue's move was at the Heavenly level from the very first move.

That's too terrifying.

"Then can I have a look...?" Fang Xun asked tentatively.

Ning Yue looked at him with some confusion.

Fang Xun immediately said, "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous..."

"Of course." Ning Yue took out the porcelain bottle directly. "I can't bear to see it with a chip in it."

Fang Xun looked at Ning Yue with emotion and immediately took the bottle to admire it.

While admiring the sights, he also jokingly called out to the elder alchemist, "...Aren't you coming to take a look?"

The alchemy elder, aloof and elegant, scoffed, "Hmph, I've already touched it myself, why would I need to look at it again?"

Fang Xun: "..."

Pretending to be dead!

Fang Xun pressed the alchemy elder's head down and brought it close to the porcelain bottle. The alchemy elder pretended to struggle for a moment.

In the end, they gave in and the two of them huddled together to watch, occasionally whispering to each other.

The alchemy elder, who had just said he wouldn't look at it, once again knelt before the Heavenly Grade Pill.

No wonder we're kindred spirits!

Fang Xun and his friends went off together, while Liu Fengyi ignored everything else and only focused on watching his promising young talents.

Li Xuan paused for a moment and said to Ji Feng, "Sect Leader Ji, there is another matter we need to discuss with you."

"Of the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking, apart from Shi Yinghan and Qi Xucheng, the other eight were all killed by the Demon Clan, leaving their positions vacant. Why not hold the sect competition ahead of schedule?"

Ji Feng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "That's exactly what I was thinking. It was thanks to Ning Yue that the Demon Cave was able to stabilize this time. It's indeed time to introduce new members to the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking."

Ning Yue lowered her eyes, listened to them say a few words, and then quietly walked out.

She always found it strange.

The top ten disciples on the Heavenly Ranking, no matter how exceptionally talented they are, are only in their teens or twenties.

In terms of cultivation, they can't compare to the elders who are more experienced and have a higher level of cultivation.

But the sect and elders actually sent them to the Demon Cave to fight the demons, while they stayed in the sect instead.

Ning Yue hadn't thought much of it before, genuinely believing it was just training for his disciples.

Until I actually went to the Demon Cave.

This level of danger!

They're just going there to their deaths!

The top ten on the Heavenly Ranking are just a bunch of no-nonsense daredevils with fancy names!

I'm starting to have doubts about Ji Feng's motives...

It seems that the Fusang Sect is not a place one can stay for long.

Suddenly, a light footstep sound came—

Ning Yue turned her head warily.

—This is Ji Liyan.

She raised an eyebrow in confusion. She hadn't seen him in a long time and had almost forgotten he even existed.

Ji Liyan asked softly, "Why did you suddenly come out?"

"It's nothing," Ning Yue composed himself. "Young Master Ji."

Just call me senior brother.

Ning Yue nodded: "Senior Brother Ji."

"Is it because of the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking?" Ji Liyan asked with a smile.

Ning Yue paused for a moment.

How can I explain this?

He wouldn't speak ill of his father in front of his son!

"No, that's not true..." Ning Yue smiled. "I'm just a little tired and want to go back and rest."

"Would you mind if we talked while we walked?" Ji Liyan asked her.

"Of course I don't mind."

Ji Liyan nodded and spoke, his voice calm and gentle, making people unconsciously relax.

"We've never encountered such a powerful demon in previous extermination missions. This was truly unexpected, and it's the biggest loss ever suffered by the Heavenly Ranking."

Ning Yue paused for a moment: "The ones who suffered the heaviest losses?"

"Hmm," Ji Liyan blinked, "Usually, at most, it's the disciples who get injured; there's never been a situation where eight people are lost at once."

"That's why my father and the others wanted to hold the competition ahead of schedule so as to fill the vacancies as soon as possible."

Ning Yue nodded upon hearing this.

It seems I was overthinking it; this situation is just unusual.

but……

Why did the Great Demon appear so suddenly?

Ning Yue frowned.

People like Si Tang and Si Jin are indeed difficult to deal with.

She used so many cheat codes and even relied on Si Jin's power to barely manage to kill Si Tang.

The once calm sea suddenly surged with huge waves, which Ning Yue did not see as a good omen.

Seeing Ning Yue's expression, Ji Liyan spoke again: "That's why the Demon Cave is usually used as a training ground for disciples."

However, after this, it's unlikely that disciples will be sent there easily again.

"I see..." Ning Yue was preoccupied with her own affairs and didn't have much time to deal with Ji Liyan.

Ji Liyan probably realized it too, and stopped walking.

Ning Yue turned around: "What's wrong, Senior Brother Ji?"

"It's nothing," Ji Liyan smiled gently, tossing a fruit to Ning Yue.

"Xiaoyu's fruit tastes pretty good, want to try some?"

Ning Yue was a little taken aback and looked at the fruit in her hand: "Xiao Yu? This fruit is called Xiao Yu?"

Ji Liyan chuckled: "Hmm... Xiaoyu is a kind of spirit beast."

Ning Yue tilted her head to look at him.

"The Azure Phoenix Divine Beast? Little Radish Head?... " Ji Liyan tried to remind Ning Yue, "You saw it when you were lost."

"Ah!" Ning Yue clapped his hands. "I remember now! The one who gave me directions! He even said he was the spirit beast of the sect leader's son!"

"That's right, it's him," Ji Liyan chuckled.

I laughed and thought, what a ridiculous title this is.

He waved to Ning Yue, his eyes shining with a clear and gentle light.

"Junior Sister, you should go back now. I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."
