The most obvious differences are perseverance and physical strength.
Why is this? It's simple. The weather is extreme every day, especially the lightning that specifically targets people and forcibly tempers their disciples' bodies. It's cold one moment and hot the next. If you're not used to it, you won't even be able to enter a meditative state during cultivation.
However, the disciples of the Cloud Sect have a special ability: they can withstand even the loudest thunder and the hottest or coldest weather, as long as they are not directly attacked. Over time, their willpower and physical strength naturally improve.
“Junior Brother Jiang, that’s not wrong. The weather is extreme, but for us cultivators, such extreme weather is actually good for tempering our character,” Murong Huan, who was sitting to Fang Mingyu’s left, said.
Fang Mingyu sighed helplessly as she looked at the elders with their worried faces.
He was already used to it; it wasn't the first time he'd brought up moving today. It was impossible to do it. The Cloud Sea Mountains were the four mountain ranges with the richest spiritual energy in the Southern Region; there was no better place.
They couldn't possibly go to the other three sects' territory.
"Let's not discuss this anymore. Did you know that not long ago, Lin Aoxue, who is now the Mysterious Fairy, also reached the Divine Form Realm?" Fang Mingyu told Jiang Yan and the others this news.
Jiang Yan and the others were stunned when they heard the news.
It's important to know that Jiang Yan and the others were decades older than Lin Aoxue. When they were nearly a hundred years old, Lin Aoxue was only in her thirties. At that time, Lin Aoxue was only at the Foundation Establishment stage of the Dao Palace, while they were already at the peak of the Dao Palace.
A difference of several decades in age and several levels of cultivation has been leveled out in just under seventy years. Is this some kind of monster?
"Tsk tsk, what an astonishing cultivation speed! Judging by her cultivation speed, I estimate she'll break through to the Nascent Soul realm at five hundred years old. The last time was about six years ago, when she came back to visit her sister. She had just broken through to the late stage of the Out-of-Body realm. Five years later, she advanced to the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Do you think this is the cultivation speed of a human?" Jiang Yan said with an exaggerated expression.
“She was born extraordinary. During the Nanling Grand Gathering, she said that if she died young, she was destined to become an immortal, unlike us ordinary mortals. By the way, judging by the time, Junior Sister Lin is going to come back to see her sister again, right?” Tantai Mingyue said.
Fang Mingyu smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"The reason I suddenly brought her up is because she's going back tomorrow. The Upper Sect has asked us to prepare to receive her. Her status is different now. After breaking through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the Supreme Response Sect has officially conferred upon her the title of Goddess of the Supreme Response Sect."
“You should know what this identity means and what it represents,” Fang Mingyu explained.
Everyone was shocked again. This identity was equivalent to that of Murong Huan, the young sect leader of Yunzong, and the sect's legally designated successor to the next sect leader.
This identity has now directly made him Yun Zong's superior. Although it's just an identity and not a person with real power, the identity itself is much higher than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Have they all reached this level? If that's the case, shouldn't we improve Junior Sister Ye's status and treatment within the sect?" Jiang Yan asked.
Ye Liuyun is still a direct disciple of Caiyun Peak, but Jiang Yan and the others know that Ye Liuyun doesn't care about that at all. She stays in Bixia Valley and hardly ever goes out. In the nearly seventy years that have passed, two batches of disciples have come to Yunzong. Many of the older disciples have almost forgotten about her.
"Her? I think that's good enough. Her cultivation hasn't improved at all in decades. If the sect hadn't given her a longevity pill, she would probably be dead by now. I've said it before, body cultivation is good, but the problem is that the lifespan of body cultivators is always a problem," the Second Elder of the Cloud Sect reminded him.
"Yes, what good is giving her a high position if we can't solve her lifespan problem? Alas!" Elder Yun sighed heavily.
However, Murong Huan and the others looked at each other, feeling quite puzzled. After all, they had fought alongside Ye Liuyun and were more familiar with him than these old guys from the Yun Sect.
Moreover, many of them frequently visited Ye Liuyun's place, and Ye Liuyun didn't seem like someone nearing the end of his life.
Furthermore, they also knew how rich Ye Liuyun was. In short, Ye Liuyun had many secrets that they themselves did not know.
Murong Huan instinctively glanced at Elder Qin Yi, but Qin Yi gently shook her head at him.
The implication was that Murong Huan should keep quiet and that it was better to say less.
There were many things they didn't tell Fang Mingyu and the others about the Nanling Grand Gathering back then. As for the pills Ye Liuyun used in the trial, Fang Mingyu and the others had actually asked Ye Liuyun about them.
However, Ye Liuyun simply said, "It's a secret, it can't be told," thus extinguishing their curiosity.
Yun Zong didn't do anything to her, after all, they learned from Murong Huan and others that Ye Liuyun had two older sisters, plus Lin Aoxue, all of whom became extremely important successors of Yun Zong.
They could only treat Ye Liuyun like a living Buddha.
"Alright, let her be. She hardly ever goes out, so giving her a higher position is meaningless. Let's wait until she wants it. If she wants a higher position, we can give her an honorary elder position," Fang Mingyu said.
Honorary Elder is a leisurely position. You don't have to participate in sect management, you eat and drink for free, and you are only called upon when there is an important matter.
"Hey? The noise outside has stopped. This strange weather phenomenon should have stopped." As they were talking, they noticed that there was no more noise outside, so they knew that the hailstorm had ended.
After the hailstorm ended, what remained was devastation. The once beautiful sea of clouds and mountains were gone. These ice balls came quickly and went quickly because the temperature rose rapidly after the celestial phenomenon ended, and the ice balls began to melt.
As the ice rink melted, a large amount of water flowed into the mountains, pooling together to form rivers and lakes of all sizes.
As for the craters created by the hail and the vegetation that was badly damaged, they basically grew back in less than a month.
To be honest, the plants in the Yunhai Mountains are the most unfortunate; people are much more comfortable than them.
And the culprit behind all this is none other than Ye Liuyun, that jinx.
Before, when Lin Aoxue was around, she knew to restrain herself. But now that Lin Aoxue wasn't around, she got bored and would concoct medicine every few days.
She no longer cared whether the others could handle it; all she needed to know was that no one would die.
However, Ye Liuyun actually restrained himself. All the pills he had synthesized over the years were of the white grade, and he had not tried to synthesize any pills of the green grade or higher.
There's no rush for green-grade or higher pills right now, she doesn't need them, and besides, she hasn't just been refining pills all these years, she only refines them when she's in a bad mood.
There's no way around it, this world is just too hard to endure.
Over the years, Ye Liuyun has made great progress in her research on formations and weapon crafting. She can now forge low-grade spiritual weapons and set up low-grade spiritual formations on her own.
"Ugh...so annoying."
As the dark clouds dissipated, an extremely frustrated voice came from the pavilion by the lake in Bixia Valley.
The Bixia Valley has changed dramatically. The surrounding forests are incredibly dense, and there are many different kinds of low-level demonic beasts in the forests.
Many of the low-level demonic beasts here were captured by Ye Liuyun from the nine training grounds to relieve his boredom.
In her inner lake, there was a white snake demon. This snake demon had at least the peak of the Sea of Wheels cultivation and was currently sleeping by the lake.
Ye Liuyun's sudden roar startled the demonic beasts in Bixia Valley, who trembled and quickly hid.
The white snake was so frightened that it quickly darted into the lake.
Judging from the looks of it, these monsters have suffered quite a bit at the hands of Ye Liuyun.
"No, I'm leaving Yun Sect. I'm going outside for a walk. It's so boring." The door was kicked open roughly, and a silver-haired woman in a revealing gauze dress walked out with a fierce expression.
She was wearing modern underwear underneath a rather transparent pink dress, which revealed her delicate and voluptuous figure.
Ye Liuyun hasn't changed much. Decades have passed, but at least they haven't left any traces of time on her face.
However, compared to decades ago, it no longer has much of a masculine character.
Except when he's with Lin Aoxue, he's basically no different from a woman.
"Go out if you want, the Cloud Sect doesn't care about you anyway." Lin Qingyou floated out of the ring and smiled at Ye Liuyun, who had a furious expression.
Ye Liuyun originally planned to pretend to be dead and leave Yun Sect when her apparent lifespan was over. However, just when she was about to pretend to be dead, Yun Sect sent her a longevity pill. She had no choice but to wait a little longer.
"Oh! Right, Master, I remember I should be 100 years old this year, right? Didn't Sun Yuan say that if I survive for a hundred years, I can break through the limits of my physical body?" Ye Liuyun suddenly remembered something.
Lin Qingyou was taken aback for a moment, then answered.
"I think he did say that. Why don't you just ask him?"
Upon seeing this, Ye Liuyun quickly walked to the edge of the lake and called out to Sun Yuan on the spirit peach tree opposite.
"Monkey, is my body about to break through its limits?"
Sun Yuan, who was sleeping on a tree branch, immediately opened his eyes and glanced at Ye Liuyun.
"Hmm, that's about right. You should be able to do it this year. You should break through to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm by then," Sun Yuan said.
"What? Only mid-stage? I'm dizzy." Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes and immediately vomited blood.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. You’re a body cultivator, and the way you cultivate is similar to that of demon beasts. You’re only at least a hundred years of cultivation right now, which is pretty good. Once you reach the mid-stage, your physical strength should be at the level of the Dao Palace’s Nascent Soul stage. If you endure another four hundred years, you should be able to reach the True Essence Realm,” Sun Yuan explained.
Ye Liuyun could only describe his feelings as "fucked".
After enduring several decades, he finally reached the age of one hundred, but the upper limit of his physical strength increased from the Nascent Soul stage to the Out-of-Body stage.
Of course, the realm and power limit of body cultivation are different from those of conventional magic cultivation, so they are not easy to compare.
Most body cultivators who reach the early stage of the Innate Realm only possess the strength of the Core Formation level at most, because the early stage of the Demon Beast Dao Palace is equivalent to the strength of a human Core Formation cultivator. This is considered pure physical strength, not internal energy.
If we don't count internal energy, Ye Liuyun is currently only at the Nascent Soul stage. If we include internal energy, he's at the Out-of-Body stage. If he also takes pills to enhance his strength, Ye Liuyun should have the power to directly confront cultivators at the Divine Form stage.
This is actually a significant improvement.
Compared to what they discovered, this is already considered rapid progress; it's just that the findings weren't as obvious. When a cultivator breaks through a major realm, they can also gain all sorts of new abilities, and their aura will also increase.
Ye Liuyun's realm cannot be judged by divine sense. The only way to calculate her true power level is by comparing the power of her attacks with that of a magic cultivator.
"Junior Sister Ye, Junior Sister Ye, are you there? I'm here to chat with you." Just as Ye Liuyun was feeling annoyed, Ji Tianjiao's voice came from the token on Ye Liuyun's body.
Ji Tianjiao's aptitude is slightly lacking; she has only reached the half-step Four Extremes level and is still just a disciple of Caiyun Peak.
"Senior Sister Ji is here?" Upon seeing Ji Tianjiao arrive, Ye Liuyun quickly took out a pill from his hand and swallowed it. After swallowing the pill, Ye Liuyun's appearance began to change.
A few wrinkles began to appear on her smooth skin, and overall she looked like a middle-aged woman in her forties.
There was no other way; Ye Liuyun was hiding the fact that she was immortal. Her actual age was one hundred years old, and with the so-called life extension that added another hundred years, she was now equivalent to a cultivator who had used up half of her lifespan.
After Ye Liuyun finished disguising himself, he quickly looked at himself in the mirror. To be honest, the old and faded appearance in front of him made Ye Liuyun sigh repeatedly.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would probably be a ninety-year-old woman now, and the thought terrifies her.
After disguising himself, he immediately changed into the robes of a Yun Sect disciple before letting Ji Tianjiao in.
As soon as Ji Tianjiao flew in, she immediately complained.
"Oh dear, it hailed again just now, it was really scary." Ji Tianjiao glanced at Ye Liuyun, then lay down on the grass by the lake.
To be honest, she really enjoys visiting Ye Liuyun's Bixia Valley; it's very quiet and perfect for relaxation.
"After all these years, you still haven't gotten used to it? Sigh! I'm used to it now." Ye Liuyun walked to Ji Tianjiao's side and said with a smile.
Sun Yuan, perched in the tree, rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "You, the instigator, must be used to it. It's others who suffer, not you."
If Yun Zong knew that Ye Liuyun was behind this strange weather, he would probably be eager to send this great deity to the Supreme Response Sect.
Chapter 391 Demon Transformation (4000 words + 1400 monthly votes bonus chapter)
These past sixty years haven't actually had much of an impact on Ye Liuyun himself; a person's character needs experience and life lessons to change.
Ye Liuyun hadn't even left the Cloud Sea Mountains in the past sixty years. He would only go out to the nine training grounds of the Cloud Sea Mountains when he was bored to find some fun.
"Oh! By the way, Junior Sister Ye, is there really a problem with your cultivation? Your combat power is clearly stronger than mine, but your lifespan is... sigh!" Ji Tianjiao looked at Ye Liuyun in front of her, feeling quite sad. If there was a way to help Ye Liuyun, she would definitely do her best to help her.
However, Ye Liuyun's five elemental spiritual roots are arguably the worst in the cultivation world.
In fact, let alone five-attribute spiritual roots, three-attribute spiritual roots are already considered very poor aptitude, four-attribute spiritual roots are extremely poor aptitude, and five-attribute spiritual roots are called useless spiritual roots, with no hope.
"If only there were a way, I wouldn't have chosen the path of body cultivation. In this era, only those who cultivate both body and Dharma are truly capable. Pure body cultivators like me are practically nonexistent. Senior Sister Ji Chunling, isn't she a practitioner of both body and Dharma? She should understand the issues of pure body cultivation very well." Ye Liuyun shook his head.
Of course, Ye Liuyun's words were purely to fool Ji Tianjiao.
Upon hearing this, Ji Tianjiao sighed helplessly once again.
Throughout the entire Yun Sect, Ji Tianjiao can be considered a friend, but even so, there are some things Ye Liuyun cannot tell them for the time being.
"Okay, if you're not in a hurry, then why should I be?"
After exchanging words for a while, Ji Tianjiao left.
Not long after she left, another communication token in Ye Liuyun's storage ring suddenly trembled.
Ye Liuyun quickly picked it up and took a look. He immediately saw that it was sent by Jin Xiangrui from Yunhai City. This message was sent by Lin Aoxue from Tianyi City through Jin Baifeng to Jin Xiangrui.
The above says that Lin Aoxue is returning to Yunzong tomorrow.
In fact, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue had met last month, but Ye Liuyun jokingly referred to this secret meeting as having an affair, or even having an affair. Although they were husband and wife, they still couldn't be seen by others.
Ye Liuyun always sneaked into Yunhai City. Jin Xiangrui had prepared accommodations for the two of them in advance, and they would party there every night. The next morning, they would have to go back to their respective places.
Of course, they would occasionally meet secretly late at night. Anyway, it was purely to see Lin Aoxue's schedule. Ye Liuyun didn't care; she was available whenever she asked.
"She broke through to the Fourth Extreme Realm so quickly, tsk tsk, no wonder she's my wife, sigh!" Ye Liuyun sighed when he saw the message from Jin Xiangrui.
To be honest, Ye Liuyun was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
After meeting Lin Aoxue this time, Ye Liuyun told her that she was going out to have some fun and that they might not be able to meet for a while.
She definitely can't just disappear suddenly.
"Bai Su, come here for a moment. I've invented a new elixir that's suitable for demonic beasts. Come and let me try it." After reading the message, Ye Liuyun suddenly called out to the white snake in the lake.
Upon hearing this, the white snake in the lake trembled, but still reluctantly swam out of the lake and came to Ye Liuyun's side.
"Come, come, this is definitely a good thing, trust me." Ye Liuyun took out a white pill and presented it to the white snake with a smile.
The white snake shook its head frantically in a very human-like manner. Ye Liuyun himself could only test pills that were effective for humans, but pills that were effective for demons were not.
This kind of elixir requires a demon to taste it.
"Don't be afraid, really, I promise I won't kill you," Ye Liuyun said with a grin.
