I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

In a quiet and elegant cave.

Upon hearing this news, a handsome young man dressed in a dark long robe couldn't help but have a strange look flash across his eyes.

"One-shot clear?"

His tone carried a hint of surprise.

"Senior Brother Lu, even if he clears the Myriad Jun Tower in one go, it doesn't mean he's that amazing."

A disciple standing to the side looked unconvinced, but his gaze toward the young man was full of respect.

"With your cultivation level, Senior Brother, if you were to attempt to break through the tower, you could reach the top in just eighteen breaths."

The young man was Lu Zhuang.

He once joined the Hundred Refinements Sect alone, participated in the sect's trials, and made a name for himself.

Then, in just one month, he firmly established himself as the number one outsider.

Six months later, he successfully entered the inner circle.

After a year of quiet preparation, Lu Zhuang made a powerful breakthrough through the Wan Jun Tower and reached the top in one fell swoop!

From then on, he entered the inner sect's list of prodigies, crushing his way up from eleventh to the top, defeating all kinds of geniuses and suppressing the entire inner sect so that no one dared to compete with him.

At that time, his cultivation level was only at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This astonishing feat alarmed the sect leader and attracted a host of elders who vied to recruit him as their personal disciple.

The elders nearly came to blows in court as they vied for this unparalleled genius.

However, Lu Zhuang politely declined all offers and never attached himself to any of the elders.

He improved step by step through his own strength, climbed all the way up, and finally secured the throne as the number one disciple of the Hundred Refinements Sect.

Today, everyone in the Hundred Refinements Sect knows of Lu Zhuang's illustrious reputation.

"With my current cultivation level, the Myriad Jun Tower in the inner sect is indeed not worth mentioning."

Lu Zhuang raised his eyes, his tone indifferent.

"But Lin Feng, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, reached the top of the tower on his first attempt, truly a peerless genius with exceptional talent."

"I have a feeling that it won't be long before he will be able to join the ranks of true disciples."

Another disciple beside him looked on in astonishment and couldn't help but speak up: "But Senior Brother Lu, he's only been in the sect for a few days!"

Lu Zhuang chuckled lightly: "So what?"

He shook his head slightly, with a hint of regret: "It's a pity I can't go to the secret realm, otherwise I could have met this person sooner."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples around fell silent.

They rarely saw the usually detached Lu Zhuang so attentive to a newly arrived inner disciple...

The majestic mountain peak stands alone, aloof and chilling.

A fierce wind howled past, its force overwhelming, like the mournful wail of ghosts.

Here, towering peaks rise majestically, the terrain is precipitous, and flowing clouds swirl around you.

Two figures stood with their hands behind their backs, silently atop the mountain.

One of them was Elder Qi, who bowed slightly, showing great respect to the old man in front of him.

The old man had a resolute face, stood tall and proud like a pine tree, had black hair like ink, and possessed an extraordinary demeanor. He was none other than Xiao Beichen, the sect leader of the Hundred Refinements Sect.

"Phew~"

A fierce gust of wind swept in, but suddenly vanished without a trace ten feet in front of the two.

"Sect Master, why are true disciples forbidden from participating in this secret realm trial?"

A deep worry lingered in Elder Qi's eyes.

"Among the six major sects, my Hundred Refinements Sect does not have an advantage in overall strength."

"Only Lu Zhuang is a variable. If he joins the battle, he alone can suppress all the true disciples of the other five sects!"

Xiao Beichen chuckled upon hearing this and slowly said, "These are the rules set by the other five sects. Only inner disciples are allowed to participate in the battle; true disciples are strictly prohibited from participating."

"This is a rule agreed upon by the six sects, and I have no right to change it."

"Sect Master, the five major sects are clearly wary of Lu Manor and deliberately set this rule to target our Hundred Refinements Sect!"

Elder Qi was indignant, his tone full of resentment.

"How come I can't see it?"

Xiao Beichen's expression was calm, and he smiled faintly.

"But the Hundred Refinements Sect I want is not a solitary sect supported by one person, but a flourishing state where a hundred flowers bloom and geniuses gather."

"Only in this way can the sect prosper forever."

Elder Qi nodded thoughtfully, "What the sect leader says is absolutely right! The fate of the sect cannot be entrusted to one person; the risk is indeed too great."

"Alright! The rules are set and cannot be changed."

Xiao Beichen turned to look at him, his smile gentle: "Furthermore, do you perhaps have no confidence in the inner disciples of my sect?"

Elder Qi looked bitter and said frankly, "Although it is embarrassing, I have to admit that the overall aptitude of our sect's inner disciples is indeed inferior to that of the other five sects."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Sect Master, I have come here today to recommend a new disciple to you, named Lin Feng..."

After Xiao Beichen listened quietly to the whole story, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? This child is actually so outstanding?"

Elder Qi said solemnly, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either."

"Whether it was tempering his body in the Hundred Refinement Pool or breaking through the Ten Thousand Jun Tower, his performance was nothing short of monstrous and absolutely stunning."

"I vaguely see the shadow of Lu Zhuang in him back then."

"It's just that Lu Zhuang possesses the Supreme Saint Body, while this boy's foundation is slightly inferior, and he may not be able to compare with him."

"Even so, he is still worthy of the sect's special attention and cultivation, and his future is promising."

Xiao Beichen gently shook his head, his tone indifferent: "Just let nature take its course. In the path of cultivation, being impatient for quick success will only backfire."

"Like Lu Zhuang, if he had relied on an elder back then, he might not have achieved his current unparalleled success."

"Sect Master's insight is brilliant!"

Elder Qi pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands in a salute: "Then I will no longer deliberately interfere with this child's cultivation, and will let him grow freely."

After saying that, he turned around, and his figure instantly disappeared into the night.

After Elder Qi left, Xiao Beichen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

"Lu Zhuang possesses a sacred body and unparalleled talent. To have such a child is an immense opportunity for our Hundred Refinements Sect."

"As for Lin Feng, judging from the current situation, he is ultimately no match for Lu Zhuang."

Before he finished speaking, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Lin Feng...why does that name sound so familiar?"

A memory from the past suddenly flashed through his mind.

Not long ago, a disciple named Lin Feng from the Qingyun Sect in Lingwu Prefecture defected from the sect, causing quite a stir.

The defection of an ordinary disciple would not alarm any major forces.

Xiao Beichen had secretly investigated and found that the traitorous disciple was no ordinary person; it was rumored that he possessed the Chaos Body, the foremost of the Ten Great Sacred Bodies.

"Could this Lin Feng be the same Lin Feng as that Lin Feng?"

Upon realizing this, Xiao Beichen's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

He gazed at the deep shadows at the edge of the cliff and uttered a single word in a deep voice: "Investigate!"

A dark shadow suddenly shot out from the darkness, like an arrow released from a bow, instantly disappearing into the vast night...
