Chapter 86: Lust Makes You Lose Your Mind

Then an hour later, when Liu Hong and I were preparing to find a place to stay first, Ling Ye appeared again.

"Have you two packed your things?" he asked as a matter of course, and then received confused looks from both of us.

"...Shouldn't we wait ten days?" I asked, why did he come and go without a trace.

To be honest, ever since I came down the mountain, I've felt a bit disconnected from the world. No, I think there's something wrong with Ling Ye—

Instead of questioning yourself, doubt others.

He frowned, "I just said that you should come back with me first - but you forgot?"

…His face was truly perfect, and the way he frowned made me feel like I had truly done something terribly evil.

Then I began to recall, and it seemed that this was the case.

"We just thought that Senior meant... that we brothers would officially return with you after ten days, after we had reached the Ascension Platform. It was our fault."

"Since I have accepted you as my disciples, you should not call me senior."

He glanced at me again, his voice somewhat dissatisfied.

Me: "Okay Master, I'm sorry Master."

Then he pulled Liu Hong next to him, and he also obediently called him "Master".

"Very good." His expression softened. "Come back to the sect with me first."

He waved his sleeve, and we were carried aloft on a cloud of auspiciousness. "You have a spirit beast on you. If you don't want the sect to know, then conceal its aura."

After hearing what he said, I felt a little embarrassed.

No, Villar, why can he sense you???

[…I don’t know either. This is my first time being a bird—]

[Have I finally passed the larval stage and am about to break through? ]

Yes, in this world, due to the particularity of cultivating immortals, the world consciousness refused to allow Villar to appear as a "God", so as a second best option, Villar appeared as a "divine beast".

He turned into a phoenix, my natal bird.

Liuming Sect reveres birds, so it is normal for me to have a bird as my natal spirit bird.

Moreover, Villar's strength was also restricted because of me, so now he looks like a green bird to the outside world, and he has to practice with me. Even Liu Yuan couldn't tell that he was a phoenix.

Generally speaking, ordinary people cannot sense Villar's existence.

Because of the special nature of Villar, apart from Liu Yuan, even Liu Hong didn’t know that I already had a natal spirit bird.

But now, Ling Ye pointed out the matter in one sentence.

"...It's my natal spirit bird. It might be about to break through recently, so it leaked some of its aura."

Ling Ye nodded. "Since it's my natal spirit beast, there's no need to worry too much. However, in the past few hundred years, demonic beasts and devil cultivators have joined forces to fight against righteous cultivators. Some demon cultivators have disguised themselves as spirit beasts and infiltrated major sects."

"Especially since you are from the East China Sea, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious if you carry an ordinary spirit beast with you."

…

No, how come he even knows where we are from???

He can't be someone who has a script, right?

Tong——Could it be that he was also reborn? ? ?

[…No, host, trust me. With my experience from the previous world, I finished reading all the information right from the start! There is no rebirth in this world!]

Then how does he know everything?

[Is it possible that the cultivators in this world can deduce the Way of Heaven?]

[And the Way of Heaven is part of the world's consciousness—]

I:……

It turns out that it was Party A who leaked the question.

I was wondering why the previous task was so automatic. Party A announced it, and Party A's subordinates deduced it and completed it automatically, right?

He really made me cry.

"Although you are half-step Nascent Soul, it seems that you don't know a lot of things?"

As we followed Ling Yequ on the way to Chongguang Sect, the more questions Ling Ye asked us, the more confused he seemed to be, and I felt confused too.

Because Liu Hong and I knew nothing, we looked at Ling Ye with clear stupidity and innocence, and then received a sigh from Ling Ye.

"Because Mom said we'll know when we grow up."

Liu Hong said so.

Very good. Once this sentence was uttered, my mother no longer had any trustworthy image in front of Ling Ye.

"Forget it, it's my fault. You're still young and have been practicing before, so it's normal for you to not know many things." He convinced himself, "When you enter the sect, you can learn slowly from the new disciples."

Very good, I like people who can explain themselves.

Soon, we arrived at the Chongguang Sect. This was the first time I truly realized that this world was different from the previous ones. The magnificent sect gate was a hundred feet high, inlaid with various spiritual stones and real gold, surrounded by spiritual energy and dotted with colorful auspicious clouds. Behind the sect gate was a stone staircase made of white jade, a total of 10,000 steps, called the Dengxiantai. The Dengxiantai of the Chongguang Sect is famous all over the world. It is not only part of the formation to guard the sect, but also a magic weapon for selecting new disciples.

It is enough to see the background of Chongguang Sect. After ascending to the Immortal Platform, there is a sea of spiritual energy. In this sea of spiritual energy are carved buildings and painted buildings and fairy mountains. Disciples of Chongguang Sect shuttle through it.

Ling Ye took the two of us directly into the sect and landed on a hilltop where there was a wooden house. He just waved his hands a few times and two more small wooden houses appeared next to the first one.

"You two can stay here first, and we can discuss the rest in ten days."

"Yes, Master."

Then he stopped looking at us and walked into his own cabin, leaving Liu Hong and me alone. Then Liu Hong pulled me into one of the cabins.

"Brother, what happened to your natal spirit bird?"

I look at the sky and the earth, but I don't look at him.

"Brother, you clearly promised me that you would find my natal spirit bird with me! You lied to me!"

Well, the naughty kid started making trouble, and I knew this day would come when the matter was exposed.

——Who knew that Villar would be in this form?!

But I can't tell him the reason.

"It was an accident." I said sadly, but the child is older and it's hard to fool him now.

I made a hand gesture and Verar's blue bird form appeared in my hand.

Villar tilted his neck in confusion, looked at me, and then looked at Liu Hong opposite him.

[Xiaoyu...?]

"My brother is a bluebird, do you want a bluebird too?"

Then Liu Hong fell silent.

He likes raptors, but raptors don't like him.

——When naughty kids bully the birds in the back mountain every day, they will always have to pay a price.

"...Then brother, come with me to find the spirit bird."

"After we settle down?"

"But Ah Hong isn't very good at taming beasts, is he? Your natal spirit bird wouldn't be of much use to you?"

I thought about Liu Hong’s rudimentary beast taming skills and said earnestly.

My body is clearly a copy of his, and my attributes are half of his, but I have learned the art of taming beasts better than him. It feels like the protagonist has a brain but doesn't use it at all.

[…I don’t know why, but I always feel like you, the host, have scolded so many people with just one sentence.]

"But mom has it, and my brother has it now, so the family should be complete, right?"

...That's not such a neat method.

"Then when Master tells us that we can go out and travel, I will take you to find it."

I thought about it and realized that he is just a child at heart. Once he gets something, he won’t like it anymore. There is nothing wrong in taking him to look for it. When he finds it boring, he will naturally not like it anymore.

…

Ten days later,

The Chongguang Sect opened its doors to the world, and cultivators from all over gathered in the northern border, many of whom wanted to become disciples of the Chongguang Sect.

With sufficient spiritual energy and abundant resources, if one can become an inner sect disciple, then the path to becoming an immortal will be smooth.

How can a wandering cultivator be as popular as a disciple from a big sect?

Liu Hong and I also changed our clothes and stood at the foot of the mountain. Although Ling Ye seemed to have informed the sect leader and the heads of each peak that we were his new disciples, we still had to follow the sect rules.

Walk up to the Immortal Terrace.

Only cultivators who can pass the Dengxiantai have the opportunity to enter the Chongguang Sect, and then have the opportunity to be selected by the elders of each peak to become disciples. If they cannot find a master for the time being, they will become outer disciples in the outer sect.

If the two of us can't pass, Ling Ye will also be ridiculed.

After ten days here, we have a rough idea of Ling Ye's status in Chongguang Sect.

The eldest brother of the current headmaster, one of the three guardian elders of Chongguang Sect, one of the strongest people in Chongguang Sect - he is respectfully called "Ling Ye Xianjun" in the entire world of immortal cultivation. He is in the late stage of tribulation and is one step away from ascension. He is only more than a thousand years old.

Then, Liu Hong and I were the only two disciples he accepted.

As a result, my status rose with the tide and I can now be said to be the eldest senior brother of the entire Chongguang Sect's inner sect.

Thank you, I have achieved a generational leap with the help of some masters of higher generations.

The pressure is so great that I have a stomachache, but it doesn’t matter. I am a corporate slave who can write my ability to withstand stress on my resume. I can do it, no problem.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Hong asked, looking at my unhappy expression.

"I'm fine. I just figured it would be best to step left first when I go out today, but I can't remember which foot I took, and I'm trying to recall."

Liu Hong: ...

"I know I'm easy to fool, but aren't you too foolish?!"

“Puff—”

A laugh broke in from the side.

We both turned our heads at the same time and looked at the little girl with a bun next to us.

The little girl looked younger than us, but her cultivation level was not apparent.

She probably brought some magic weapon to hide her cultivation level, but there was something clearly wrong with one of her eyes.

"Okay, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you," the little girl stuck out her tongue. "My name is Ye Yingying. What's yours? Ye, which means "flowers and leaves fluttering," and Ying, which means "nightingale."

"My name is Liuhong, and this is my brother Liuluan. Liu means flowing water, Hong means wild goose, and Luan means phoenix bird."

Before I could say anything, Liu Hong had already introduced himself.

"Yes, our names both contain the word 'bird'. We are destined to be together." Ye Yingying clapped her hands. "Since we are destined to be together, I will tell you a secret."

The little girl came over, and Liu Hong also came over, "I am actually the master's new disciple, and coming to this immortal platform is just a formality."

Both of us:?

What a coincidence?

"Are you shocked?"

"If you two come and please me, I will ask Master to accept you as his disciples as well."

Me: "...Let's not talk about whether the master would be so hasty to accept us as disciples. Is it appropriate for you to start making promises to someone you just met for the first time?"

Even if it's just empty promises, there's a gradual process of increasing trust, right?

Ye Yingying: "...I'm not like this to everyone. If you two weren't good-looking, I wouldn't even look at you!"

I:……

Very good, the protagonist’s appearance is indeed extraordinary.

"Then I'll tell you a secret," Liu Hong leaned close to her ear, "Actually, my brother and I also have a master, and we're just here to go through the motions."

After that, he made a face at Ye Yingying.

No, silly brother, you are being completely provocative by saying that—

Sure enough, Ye Yingying's face turned dark.

Sometimes I don’t know whether Liu Hong really doesn’t use his brain or is just naturally black.

"Inheriting the energy of heaven and earth, I ascended to the immortal world. Now I am ascending to the immortal platform, choosing the chosen ones to enter my Chongguang——"

An ethereal voice rang in the ears of every cultivator, and everyone looked towards the immortal platform in front of them.

A beam of golden light shone down, and all the masters of the 32 peaks of the Chongguang Sect floated in the air. The sect leader stood in the middle and threw out a piece of jade. The jade grew bigger in the air, almost as tall as the sect gate, with three golden characters "Ascend to Immortality List" written on it.

It was filled with names.

"This is the list of the first 1,000 disciples who have reached the Dengxiantai over the years. If you can break the list above, you can directly enter the inner gate."

Got it, the speed leaderboard.

My gaze turned to Ling Ye who was standing behind me.

His eyes met mine.

Sure enough, he was looking at Liu Hong and me. He had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care at all whether the two of us could win face for him.

So...can I just paddle now?
