The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 176 Dongfang Hongyue in Cultivation

Yuxuan’s words truly left people somewhat puzzled.

However, Taiqing Daoist Temple truly is the number one sect of this era. Within the temple, there are already known to be five Enlightened Realm powerhouses, each of them formidable. And if one were to include those who might be secretly cultivating in seclusion, as well as those serving the Imperial Clan and thus no longer with Taiqing Daoist Temple, the strength of the Taiqing Daoist Temple was enough to withstand the combined forces of other sects.

This was because the Taoists of the Taiqing Daoist Temple were the best at preserving their life force. Normally, individuals in the Enlightened Realm would have a lifespan of around eight hundred years, but Taoists from the Taiqing Daoist Temple could live for a thousand years.

When the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up. Hearing Yuxuan speak in such a way, Fang Yu indeed felt somewhat more confident.

"I wonder what the reason might be for this?"

Zhang Biyu asked with a touch of curiosity. Yuxuan waved his hand and said, "The workings of fate must not be revealed. You all only need to do what is within your roles, without worrying. This storm too shall pass."

Liu Ji shook his head helplessly. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t beat the old man, he would have definitely retorted with a few words.

He just hated this way of speaking, always leaving things half-said, always making people guess and comprehend on their own, which was so irritating.

"The respected one’s proficiency in divination astonishes us all. I just happen to have an imprudent request and seek the respected one’s assistance."

Zhang Biyu’s words immediately dumbfounded Liu Ji and Dongfang Hongyue.

Did this friend forget their own faction?

Although the Righteous and Demonic sides could temporarily sheathe their swords and stop fighting, they were not that friendly towards each other. How did Zhang Biyu manage to request the help of the leader of the Righteous Path so naturally?

"Please speak."

"The respected one must also be aware, not long ago, the Thunderclap Sword’s Spirit of the Shenxiao Sect went missing, and evidence pointed directly to the Green Lotus Sect. A few days ago, the Sword Spirit appeared again on the Green Lotus Sect’s territory. Naturally, the Green Lotus Sect is not without blame, but I always feel that someone else has been stoking the flames from behind the scenes."

Upon hearing this, Yuxuan shook his head and said, "This will be difficult to divine. If, as you say, someone is stirring up trouble from behind the scenes, they must have been born for this calamity. The mysteries of fate are obscure, especially when related to this matter, even more vague, and I cannot achieve it."

"What about the whereabouts of the Sword Spirit? Can you discern anything? The Thunderclap Sword, being the strongest Immortal Artifact and having power to restrain demons and ghosts, would greatly strengthen our side if we could retrieve the Sword Spirit during these chaotic times."

At this moment, Liu Ji and Dongfang Hongyue were both stunned.

Wow, this person is bathed in the light of the Righteous Path.

Yuxuan began to seriously ponder the question, and Fang Yu also became more concerned about the matter. It almost slipped everyone’s mind that Zhang Biyu was part of the opposing camp.

"Let me calculate it."

Yuxuan’s figure disappeared from the Peach Blossom Source, and after a while, he returned.

"Respected one, do you have a result?"

Fang Yu was the most concerned about this matter. Yuxuan nodded and said, "I have expended some mental effort but finally glimpsed some vague things. The Thunderclap Sword’s Spirit is originally an Innate Spirit, and the one who acquired it is also born for this calamity. When I tried to divine it, I almost suffered a backlash."

Yuxuan’s words caused everyone’s hearts to sink once more.

His use of divination almost proved that there really was a hidden hand behind the scenes, but they knew nothing about the mastermind. Moreover, the adversary had obtained the Thunderclap Sword’s Spirit.

"You have labored, respected one."

Zhang Biyu bowed to Yuxuan with great courtesy.

Yuxuan, possessing the demeanor of a sage, waved his hand and said, "No need for such courtesies. Life is like a chess game. The other party thinks they are the ones playing the game, not realizing they too are on the chessboard. After the myriad beings have been through their tribulations, he will be nothing more than a sacrifice."

At these words, Dongfang Hongyue suddenly felt a bit aggravated.

She should be looking forward to the downfall of the hidden enemy, but listening to Yuxuan’s words, it seemed as if everything experienced by the beings in this world was just arranged by the heavens.

Didn’t that mean their cultivation was meaningless?

But she didn’t refute Yuxuan’s words, merely keeping silent, continuing to maintain her own persona.

"Since we have enemies lurking in the shadows, we should be even more cautious and on guard. I have already dispatched elders to guard both the southern and northern territories. I hope everyone can contribute their effort as well."

After Fang Yu finished speaking, people from the other sects echoed his sentiments.

The business of the meeting was more or less like this.

The sect leaders discussed some specific matters and after about half an hour, the meeting was about to adjourn.

Jiang Chenyu suddenly said to Fang Yu, "Sister Fang, that unworthy disciple of mine has gone to Purple Cloud Mountain again. She’s probably eager to see your disciple Lin Yun. I hope you can look out for them somewhat."

No sooner had she spoken than Dongfang Hongyue’s ears perked up.

That vixen Flower Fairy is seeking out my disciple again?

Fang Yu also understood what Jiang Chenyu meant; she likely didn’t want Flower Fairy and Lin Yun to interact too much. As the Saintess of Guanghan Palace, one must remain unwed or otherwise relinquish the title of Saintess.

Jiang Chenyu obviously held Flower Fairy in high esteem and didn’t want her to run off with Lin Yun.

Indifferently, Fang Yu said, "Lin Yun has made a mistake and has been punished to reflect on his actions. He won’t be coming out for a few days."

Thinking of the real reason behind Lin Yun’s punishment, a wave of embarrassment and heart palpitations washed over Fang Yu.

Damn Lin Yun, wait until the meeting is over, and I’ll deal with you!

On hearing this, Dongfang Hongyue became anxious. Could that wayward disciple have done something to offend his master again?

She gave Fang Yu’s figure another thorough look...

She was starting to feel envious.

Isn’t this exactly Lin Yun’s type?

However, Fang Yu didn’t linger any longer. After bidding farewell to everyone, she left, and Dongfang Hongyue also left the Secret Realm. Her Divine Sense returned to her body, and she thought about sending a message to Lin Yun.

But she forcibly held back.

As a Taoist Cultivator, she should not indulge excessively in the affairs of love.

She might as well return to seclusion and cultivate. Since Lin Yun had gone to the Righteous Path, she couldn’t keep in touch with him so often.

Dongfang Hongyue composed her mind and began her own cultivation.

The method of cultivation for Upper Realm Cultivators was completely different from before.

The cultivation in the Celestial Knowing Realm was about comprehending the principle of heaven and earth—a rather mystical process. It could be comprehended in an instant or it might take years, even decades, to grasp.

Moving on to the Enlightened Realm, it was about understanding the Path of Destiny.

Humans have Three Souls. The Heavenly Soul belongs to one’s destiny star, the Earthly Soul to the Netherworld, and the Human Soul remains within oneself.

Cultivation is the process of making oneself increasingly perfect.

In the Enlightened Realm, Cultivators can sense their own Heavenly Soul.

In theory, a person’s Heavenly Soul belongs to their destiny star.

With the Heavenly Soul in the destiny star, it can influence one’s life.

The purpose of a Cultivator’s practice is to reclaim the Heavenly Soul to one’s self and thus step out of fate’s arrangements.

By doing so, one would enter the Defiant Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, some believe that the so-called Defiant Heavenly Realm is not about defying the Heavenly Dao, but rather about reclaiming one’s own Heavenly Soul in reverse.

Dongfang Hongyue didn’t quite understand all this, but in any case, just cultivate and that’s that.

Her progress in cultivation had been particularly great lately, especially after that encounter with Lin Yun. She felt her integration with her Heavenly Soul was speeding up considerably.

Maybe after a few more times, she might reach the Defiant Heavenly Realm!

At that thought, Dongfang Hongyue felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, a longing to see Lin Yun, a desire to...

No, as the Demon Lord, how could she beg that rebellious disciple for affection?

It was at this moment that some new information suddenly appeared in Dongfang Hongyue’s mind...
