Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

These words immediately made Lin Aoxue raise her eyebrows at Xiu Mei.

However, Ye Liuyun had already told her that she would handle this matter and that Lin Aoxue should speak less, because Ye Liuyun could roughly guess what these people were here for.

"Um, Senior Sister He, please speak frankly if you have something to say. Is it because of the trouble that the disciples of Fire Cloud Peak came to our Rainbow Cloud Peak yesterday, and you've come to question me?" Ye Liuyun got straight to the point.

Ye Liuyun could find no other explanation for their coming here besides this.

Sure enough, seeing that Ye Liuyun had made his point clear, they didn't waste any more time.

“Junior Sister Ye speaks frankly, so we won’t beat around the bush either. This matter started because of you. You can’t keep hiding here and not go out. Sooner or later, those people from Fire Cloud Peak will come looking for trouble. We know that you are innocent in this matter, and Fire Cloud Peak has gone too far. We from Rainbow Cloud Peak also can’t stand their behavior. But no matter what, you can’t use us as pawns.” He Jun finished saying what he wanted to say in one breath.

What He Jun said was reasonable and well-founded, and Ye Liuyun could not find any reason to refute it.

"Actually, I understand their purpose in doing this. However, what do you senior sisters want me to do?" Ye Liuyun didn't say anything to refute them, but directly asked them what they needed her to do.

Sun Xiang smiled slightly upon hearing this.

“Simple. Junior Sister Ye, aren’t you a body cultivator? Body cultivators definitely have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat. We hope that if the people from Fire Cloud Peak come looking for trouble again, or if we are going to go looking for trouble with Fire Cloud Peak, we ask Junior Sister not to keep hiding and to come with us,” Sun Xiang replied.

This request wasn't excessive; it was perfectly reasonable, and Ye Liuyun couldn't refuse it, nor did she even consider refusing it.

"No problem, but I usually stay here and don't go out. If the disciples of Fire Cloud Peak come to our Rainbow Cloud Peak to cause trouble, I won't know if no one informs me. So, please let me know when the time comes," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

That's about enough. After all, Ye Liuyun completely obeyed their wishes, so what else could they say?

"Since that's the case, then let's make it clear. We're not the kind of people who are unreasonable. We know everything about your situation. If there's trouble, we sisters can deal with it together, but we absolutely cannot shift the blame and try to protect ourselves." Lan Xinxue smiled slightly.

After they finished speaking and said their goodbyes, they left, and Han Yao specifically said something to Lin Aoxue.

"Junior Sister Lin, you are very strong, and you will be even stronger in the future. But I have something to tell you. The trouble you cause will not be directed at you. They will blame it on your sister. So think twice before you act in the future."

After leaving those words, Han Yao departed.

After everyone and the outsiders had left, Ye Liuyun turned around and looked at Lin Aoxue.

"Did you hear that? Think twice before you act."

Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes.

"Boring. I only have happiness and unhappiness here, no time for careful consideration." After saying that, Lin Aoxue flew to the spirit peach tree and sat down to meditate and cultivate.

Seeing that Lin Aoxue ignored him, Ye Liuyun could only go about his own business. When he wasn't cultivating, he would forge iron and refine weapons, improving his strength and weapon-refining skills at the same time.

The Yun Sect's sect conference is different from the Yunxia Sect's. Here, there is no absolute fairness. Apart from the prohibition of using evil arts and elixirs, all other means are allowed during the conference. This is because, in the eyes of the Yun Sect's higher-ups, treasures and the like are also part of a cultivator's strength.

Or rather, having more spirit stones is also part of a cultivator's strength. They only care that you win, not how you win. After all, in a cultivator's life-or-death battle, there is only the difference between living and dying.

These past three days have been filled with troubles. The higher-ups of the Cloud Sect have been dividing the thousand people into groups for battles, and so far they have been divided into ten venues.

One hundred people compete in each venue, and half of the one thousand people must be eliminated first. In this competition of one thousand people, they must try their best to separate disciples from different factions, that is, to prevent them from encountering disciples from their own faction in the first round.

In this way, no one will have any complaints.

The powerful disciples of the sect were all separated, and almost every venue had an unlucky opponent. Under normal circumstances, if you ran into a sect's promising disciple or a personal disciple, you would naturally be unlucky.

And so, the three-day rest period came to an end.

"The time has come. Those ranked one thousandth in the Demon Hunting Tournament, please proceed to the Dao Discussion Peak. Other disciples who wish to watch the battle may go to their respective sect's training grounds and observe through the Mystic Mirror," Elder Yun announced loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples of the Cloud Sect sprang into action.

Lin Aoxue immediately brought Ye Liuyun out of his residence.

"Let's go," Lin Aoxue said, and then flew up with Ye Liuyun.

"Hey, what's the rush? It's not like we're going to start inside. We have half an hour to prepare, don't we?" Ye Liuyun said, looking at the hurried Lin Aoxue.

After Lin Aoxue broke through to the Dao Palace, her flying speed became so fast that it was like a storm, completely different from her usual sword-riding.

Looking at the Dao Discussion Peak, there are now ten more peaks there, and the tops of each peak have been flattened. These were specially moved from the Cloud Sea Mountains by the Cloud Sect to serve as the venue for the first round of the competition.

Chapter 300: The First Appearance (5000 words)

For cultivators in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, moving a mountain over would be an easy task.

Each minor realm within this major realm is almost the difference between the Sea of ​​Wheels Realm and the Dao Palace Realm.

Before Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue even landed, they saw the magnificent competition field below.

"Wow, this is quite a feat. Are we really going to fight on the tops of these flattened mountain peaks? It feels like we're in the clouds," Ye Liuyun said, holding Lin Aoxue's slender waist as they looked down at the arena.

Each of these mountain peaks seemed to float above the clouds, with different venues separated by thousands of meters, and the competition venues were also protected by powerful formations.

“There was only this one Dao Discussion Peak before, not the other nine. They must have temporarily moved peaks from other places to use as the competition venue,” Lin Aoxue said.

When Ye Liuyun heard that the mountain peaks had been moved, he was greatly surprised, knowing that each of these peaks was tens of thousands of meters high.

"No way? The Cloud Sect has cultivators who can move mountains and control ridges?"

It can only be said that Ye Liuyun's understanding of powerful cultivators is still too limited.

Lin Aoxue immediately gave Ye Liuyun a look that said, "You have no knowledge," and then carefully explained to her the power of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Because she inherited Lin Junxian's knowledge, she has a deep understanding of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

However, she didn't say much that Ye Liuyun couldn't understand; this is what she said.

The Four Extremes Secret Realm cultivates the physical body, which includes the five internal organs, meridians, bones, blood, flesh, skin, and everything else in the human body. However, the Four Extremes Secret Realm does not purely cultivate physical strength, but rather transforms the physical body into energy.

For example, the first realm of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the Divine Form Realm, cultivates the physical body. When one reaches the peak of the Divine Form Realm, the physical body is almost completely different from that of an ordinary person.

You cut their flesh with a sharp instrument, and they feel almost no pain or itching. They can recover completely in an instant. As long as they still have strength, their flesh has almost been energized.

Moreover, their magical power has also been greatly enhanced, as they have become more suitable for bearing magical power, so they can easily move a mountain that is several hundred meters high.

The second realm of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the Divine Intent Realm, cultivates the meridians. Upon reaching this realm, one's divine sense and will will be greatly enhanced. With a single thought, one can suppress and kill a large number of Dao Palace cultivators with the pressure of divine sense. The strength of the physical body will be enhanced again. At this time, one can easily lift a thousand-meter mountain range.

The third realm, the Divine Body Realm, cultivates bones and blood. In this realm, the cultivator's blood turns golden-red, bones become white jade, and the body's resistance to blows and physical strength are greatly enhanced. This realm truly grants the cultivator a powerful physique, making it easy to lift mountains thousands of meters high.

However, the mountain that Yun Zong moved is definitely not just a thousand meters high, it's already ten thousand meters high, so it must have been moved by a cultivator at the Divine Soul Realm.

The fourth realm is the Divine Soul Realm. This realm cultivates the five internal organs and transforms their energy into energy. Even if the heart is pierced, as long as it is not a special suppression injury, it is only a minor injury that can be recovered immediately. Apart from the brain and soul being a weakness, cultivators in the Divine Soul Realm have almost no weaknesses.

It is very difficult for someone of the same cultivation level to kill a cultivator at the Divine Soul Realm.

To kill a cultivator at the Divine Soul Realm, it's not enough to destroy their physical body; you also need to destroy their soul. Therefore, when a cultivator at the Divine Soul Realm dies, they are basically annihilated in both body and soul, unable to even go through reincarnation, or they simply cannot be killed.

The next realm is the Transformation Realm, which focuses on cultivating the soul. It has nine levels. Upon reaching this realm, the physical body is completely transformed into a spiritual body, and the soul becomes a primordial spirit. As long as the primordial spirit is not destroyed, even if only a wisp of the primordial spirit escapes, given enough time, it can be restored to its original state.

At the primordial spirit realm, the physical body is no longer essential and has little impact.

After listening to Lin Aoxue's introduction, Ye Liuyun was stunned and immediately asked Lin Qingyou about it.

"Master, can I also have such abilities?" Ye Liuyun asked in his heart.

But Lin Qingyou said confidently.

"Hehe, don't worry. As long as you keep cultivating, you can shatter even a star with a single punch, let alone a mere ten-thousand-meter mountain range."

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun was filled with anticipation, looking forward to the day when he could shatter a star with a single punch.

"I'm really looking forward to that day. By the way, teacher, doesn't physical cultivation have its own realms? You often chat with that monkey, didn't he tell you about the realm divisions of physical cultivation?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

Lin Aoxue led Ye Liuyun to the Dao Discussion Peak. After coming down, Ye Liuyun quietly followed behind Lin Aoxue without saying a word, because she was asking Lin Qingyou about her body cultivation realm.

To be honest, Lin Qingyou didn't really understand the realms of body cultivation before, but she does now.

"If you had asked me before, I really wouldn't have known, but Senior Sun Yuan already told me, so just write it down yourself."

Lin Qingyou explained the different levels of body cultivation.

The classification of body cultivators is not as complicated as that of magic cultivators; it is more similar to the classification of demon beasts.

Because the earliest methods of body refinement for humans were originally derived from the methods of demons cultivating demonic powers.

Body Refinement Realms: Acquired Realm, Innate Realm, True Essence Realm, Vajra Realm, Imperishable Realm, Heaven-Reaching Realm, Sainthood Realm.

If we had to talk about Ye Liuyun's current realm, he is currently at the early stage of the Innate Realm. He has just cultivated internal energy. Since the Body Refinement Realm is aimed at demonic beasts, Ye Liuyun's normal combat strength is comparable to that of a Dao Palace Core Formation Realm cultivator.

That's why ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Dao Palace stage can't even last a single round against Ye Liuyun. The two are actually not in the same realm. Ye Liuyun can easily deal with Core Formation cultivators in a head-on confrontation, but he can't fight against Nascent Soul cultivators without using some tricks.

The reason why Ye Liuyun's combat power underwent such a qualitative change after cultivating the Nine Revolutions Divine Power taught to her by Sun Yuan was entirely because Ye Liuyun had not been able to properly guide the power within her body all these years. These internal forces were in a dormant stage, and once awakened, they would naturally directly enter the Innate Realm.

However, it is not so easy to go from the acquired realm to the innate realm. That is why Sun Yuan was surprised when he saw Ye Liuyun capture the internal energy so quickly.

Furthermore, Sun Yuan also told Ye Liuyun that it wasn't the body-refining lineage that was eliminated by the times, but rather by the laws of heaven and earth.

In this era, without a special physique, it is impossible to fully complete the body-refining method.

In the ancient times, the demon race was dominant, and the laws of heaven and earth followed the energy flow of the demon race. However, at the end of the ancient times, the demon race weakened, and the human race rose. The laws of heaven and earth began to follow the energy flow of the human race. In the ancient era, this world completely transformed into an environment suitable for human cultivation.

However, the cultivation methods of demon beasts have not been completely eliminated, but demon beasts must also make changes in accordance with the current rules of heaven and earth.

There are two paths to cultivation for demonic beasts.

One path maintains the ancient methods, cultivating to the very end, but at this level, you will forever remain a beast, unable to transform into human form, your behavior will still be controlled by the beast, and your intelligence will be low.

The second path is the transformation method. When a demon beast enters the Dao Palace stage, if it chooses the transformation path, it will follow the path of human cultivation. In human form, its combat power is not much different from that of a human. In the early stages, it can switch between beast form and human form.

However, this cultivation path becomes increasingly difficult as you progress. It is twice as difficult for humans as it is for humans. This cultivation method is essentially using the power of demon beasts to exchange for brains. Each method has its own advantages.

"Hey, Junior Sister Ye, Senior Sister Lin, you're here." Ye Liuyun had just finished listening to Lin Qingyou's introduction when she heard a familiar voice. She was momentarily dazed, then quickly looked to the side and saw Pei Qian and the others running over.

"Oh, Senior Sister Pei, are all five of you qualified to participate?" Ye Liuyun asked, somewhat surprised.

After all, the five of them weren't particularly strong among the inner disciples, and they had even submitted their mission ahead of time last time, so Ye Liuyun thought they had given up on the sect tournament.

"Hehe, thanks to you, a few of us barely made it into the top 1,000," Pei Qian laughed.

Ye Liuyun nodded, and just then, another acquaintance arrived.

"Senior Sister Ye, you've advanced too! That's wonderful!" The person who came was Meng Xian'er, but she was alone. The outer disciples she brought certainly wouldn't come to the sect assembly; they knew their place.

They helped Meng Xian'er achieve a ranking, hoping that she would try her luck, even if she couldn't represent the sect at the Nanling Grand Gathering.

——————————————————————————————————————

However, as long as they pass the first round, the sect will also provide rewards. Meng Xian'er promised them that if she enters the second round and receives the rewards, she will share a portion with them.

"Junior Sister Meng, you passed too? That's great!" Ye Liuyun replied to Meng Xian'er, who was skipping and hopping over.

However, Pei Qian and the others were all taken aback when they saw Meng Xian'er.

"Senior Sister Meng, you know Junior Sister Ye?" Pei Qian asked, somewhat surprised.

Meng Xian'er is at the peak of Core Formation. Although she is not a core disciple, she belongs to the top tier among the inner disciples. In addition, she has a good personality and gets along well with most of the inner disciples.

The relationships among these people are really complicated. Meng Xian'er calls Ye Liuyun "Senior Sister," while Pei Qian and the others call Ye Liuyun "Junior Sister."

"Oh, Junior Sister Pei, yes, Senior Sister Ye helped me out at the Bihu Lake island group, otherwise, I would have been surrounded and eliminated by the Huoyun Peak disciples." Meng Xian'er smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Pei Qian and the others were taken aback; they really didn't know about this, since they had submitted their mission in advance.

"I see. Then let's wish each other an easy passage through the first round. I don't expect to go very far, just winning the first round will be enough. As for the Nanling Grand Gathering, let the powerful senior sisters and brothers from our sects participate instead," Pei Qian said with a smile.

Meng Xian'er meant the same thing.

As everyone was talking, a figure descended from the sky and landed in the middle of the discussion platform. The person was the fourth elder of the Cloud Sect.

"Disciples who are attending the sect assembly, the sect assembly is about to begin. I will explain the rules to you now," the Fourth Elder said in a deep voice.

When the Fourth Elder arrived, everyone present immediately quieted down and listened attentively to what he had to say.

"First of all, as you can see, the venue is divided into ten sessions. The one you are standing on is session number one. The sect will transmit your session number and number to your identity tokens later. You can then go to the corresponding session and wait for the match to begin."

"The competition rules state that you are not allowed to use any spells or evil artifacts that are explicitly prohibited in the cultivation world, nor are you allowed to use healing, recovery, or enhancement pills. Each venue will be overseen by an elder from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. You can go all out without fear of killing your opponent. When the elder judges that you may suffer fatal damage, he will intervene to stop you."

"The competition is divided into elimination rounds, qualifying rounds, finals, and a final ranking competition for 100 people. There will be a three-day rest period after each stage of the competition. Alright, check your identity tokens. Your match number and number should have been sent over." The Fourth Elder instructed.

Upon hearing this, everyone present trembled with fear and quickly picked up their identity tokens to examine them.

"Ye Liuyu, Arena Number One, Number One." Ye Liuyun glanced at the information displayed on his token and was immediately stunned.

This match is strange; it feels like the sect deliberately gave it to her.

"Aoxue, what's your number?" Ye Liuyun looked at his own number and then at Lin Aoxue.

“Session number one, number one hundred,” Lin Aoxue replied.

Upon hearing Lin Aoxue's performance, Ye Liuyun immediately sensed that it must have been deliberately arranged by the higher-ups of the Yun Sect.

“This is interesting. I’m also in session number one, but I’m number one in the same venue as you, and I’m last in the last place. Haha, I just hope I don’t run into you.” Ye Liuyun laughed.

Lin Aoxue shook her head. She felt it was definitely not the case, because the sect must have already arranged the match list. Although she and Ye Liuyun were in the same elimination round, it was uncertain whether they would be in the advancement round.

As everyone received their numbers, Pei Qian and the others quickly came over to check their numbers with Ye Liuyun. Fortunately, they were not in the same session and had separated.
