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

Tianmang Pavilion.

Among the many cave dwellings of the true disciples, there are twelve treasure lands with excellent locations and the most abundant spiritual energy.

Tianmang Pavilion is the foremost among them.

This is Lu Zhuang's cultivation cave.

At this moment, Lu Zhuang was sitting cross-legged, and streaks of blood-red light descended from the sky, like sharp swords, slashing fiercely at his body.

These blood-red lights were formed from the magic array within the cave, specifically used to temper the physical body—a unique advantage of the Heavenly Light Pavilion.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that Lu Zhuang has a body of bronze and iron, remaining unmoved and as steady as Mount Tai despite being bombarded by bloody light.

Just then, footsteps approached, and Lu Zhuang immediately opened his eyes and stood up.

Before long, a true disciple hurried in and recounted in detail the major events that had recently occurred within the sect.

Lu Zhuang frowned slightly, looked at the disciple before him, and asked in a deep voice, "Just how strong is Lin Feng?"

This disciple, named Luo Cheng, had always been under Lu Zhuang's command. Upon hearing this, he quickly reported what he knew truthfully.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Zhuang's face as he slowly said, "Although Feng Lu of Xiaoyao Academy is arrogant, his combat strength is not bad. The fact that a newcomer can suppress him shows that he has extraordinary potential and is indeed qualified to be compared with me."

Luo Cheng scoffed, "Senior Brother Lu, even if that kid's combat strength reaches the Martial Core Realm, he's not worth worrying about."

"Many disciples compare him to you, but does he even deserve it?"

"I'll go to the Shining Star Pavilion right now and teach him a lesson, so he'll understand that your talent and status are far beyond his reach!"

He even secretly suspected that the rumors praising Lin Feng were actually spread by Lin Feng himself, just to glorify himself.

As a staunch supporter of Lu Zhuang, he could not tolerate such a thing happening.

Lu Zhuang remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "As fellow disciples, we should stop here and not make a scene."

"After all, he has just made a great contribution to the sect. Once the spiritual vein is bestowed, we will all benefit from it."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Lu, I'm just telling this kid to behave himself and know his place," Luo Cheng said casually.

The young master of Xiaoyao Academy was only at the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, while he was already at the peak of the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Furthermore, he had already cultivated the second part of the "Hundred Refinements Vajra Body," making his combat strength vastly different from that of ordinary inner disciples.

Therefore, Luo Cheng was very confident.

No matter how strong Lin Feng was, he had never cultivated the second part of the "Hundred Refinements Vajra Body", so he was ultimately no match for him.

After speaking, Luo Cheng turned and left the cave.

He didn't rush to find Lin Feng, but instead used his privileges as a true disciple to retrieve detailed information about the battle in the Cangxuan Secret Realm.

Although he spoke of Lin Feng with disdain, Lin Feng's ability to win first place in the Six Sect Trials ultimately proves that he has some skill.

Luo Cheng didn't want to suffer an unexpected setback, otherwise he would only become a laughing stock among his true disciples.

Two days later, a complete intelligence report was delivered to Luo Cheng, detailing the battle of the Cangxuan Ancient Palace.

This information had already spread far and wide after the trial ended, and was no secret.

"A powerful physical body, surging spiritual energy, and a profound foundation are all signs of his talent. In addition, he is also proficient in swordsmanship... He is indeed a prodigy."

"If given a few more years, he might really be able to threaten Senior Brother Lu's position."

"But now... Hmph! Even if you're a powerful dragon crossing the river, once you arrive at the Hundred Refinements Sect, you'll have to behave yourself!"

"Don't think that just because you came first in the trial, you have the right to act arrogantly among the true disciples!"

Luo Cheng snorted coldly and headed straight towards the Radiant Star Pavilion...

Meanwhile, inside the gate.

Qin Tao accepted a mission from the sect and hurriedly went down the mountain.

He had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and hadn't gone far when his expression suddenly changed, and an immense pressure suddenly descended upon him.

"Qin Tao, don't be nervous, it's me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared.

"Elder Cheng?" Qin Tao was slightly startled and asked instinctively, "What are you doing here?"

This is the territory of the Hundred Refinements Sect. Why is Elder Cheng of the Carefree Academy here?

Cheng Yuan smiled slightly: "It's rare that you still recognize me."

Several years ago, both the Hundred Refinements Sect and the Carefree Academy started recruiting new members at the same time.

Qin Tao originally wanted to join the Xiaoyao Academy first, but his assessment results were not ideal.

Cheng Yuanzheng was the assessment elder of that year's Xiaoyao Academy. Although he greatly admired Qin Tao, he had to eliminate him due to the assessment rules.

It wasn't until later that he heard Qin Tao had successfully joined the Hundred Refinements Sect.

"Elder Cheng was one of the assessment elders in that year; how could I forget?"

After a pause, Qin Tao looked puzzled and asked, "I wonder what brings Elder Cheng here?"

Cheng Yuan stopped wasting words and went straight to the point: "During the trial battle, Feng Lu's Dao Heart was destroyed. My purpose in coming here is to avenge him and kill Lin Feng."

"Qin Tao, if you're willing to help me, I'll bring you into the Xiaoyao Academy and bestow upon you the treatment of the number one prodigy. What do you say?"

"What?!" Qin Tao's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock.

Cheng Yuan glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "The Hundred Refinements Sect has Lu Zhuang in front and Lin Feng behind. If you want to get ahead, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven."

"Instead of staying in the Hundred Refinements Sect and being suppressed by others, why not come to my Free and Unfettered Academy?"

"Although this act is tantamount to betraying the sect, you need not worry. My Xiaoyao Academy will protect you."

Qin Tao's expression shifted between light and dark. After a moment of contemplation, he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am honored by Elder Cheng's high regard for me. I am willing to join the Xiaoyao Academy."

"However, Lin Feng has now been promoted to a true disciple, so it will probably not be easy for you to make a move against him."

"A true disciple?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuan's brows furrowed instantly.

Among the six sects, the true disciples have the highest status, the greatest potential, and are the most valued by the sect's higher-ups.

Lin Feng, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, was promoted to a true disciple despite not meeting the usual requirements, which shows his extraordinary potential.

This only fueled Cheng Yuan's murderous intent. He asked in a deep voice, "If Lin Feng is in the sect, I won't have a chance to make a move. Do you know when he will go out?"

Qin Tao was merely an inner disciple and was unaware of Lin Feng's itinerary.

But after a moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "After being promoted to a true disciple, Lin Feng will no longer be able to enjoy the preferential treatment for newcomers, and will need to complete a sect mission once a month."

"And there are still ten days left until the end of this month!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "So, Lin Feng will definitely leave the Hundred Refinements Sect within the next ten days?"

Qin Tao nodded slightly in agreement.

"Alright! Keep a close eye on his movements for me. Once he leaves the Hundred Refinements Sect, activate this token immediately."

"I will summon Feng Lu and bring a few more disciples to come and surround and kill Lin Feng together."

Cheng Yuan took out a token and handed it to Qin Tao, then gave him a few more instructions before turning to leave.

After Cheng Yuan walked away, Qin Tao's face turned cold, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, turned around and returned to the Hundred Refinements Sect as if nothing had happened.

There was no deep-seated hatred between him and Lin Feng; frankly, it was just jealousy at play.

But he couldn't refuse the olive branch offered by Cheng Yuan.

After all, everyone looks out for themselves!

"Lin Feng, this time, you're dead!"
