After fooling around for a while, Ye Wan returned to her courtyard to continue her cultivation.
Even if she's not mentally sound, she knows she can't possibly reach the fifth level of demonic cultivation before the Immortal-Demon Conference ends.
Even the male lead hasn't reached the fifth level of immortal cultivation, so what makes her so special?
How could she possibly eat five meals a day, with three bowls of rice at each meal?
Ye Wan changed her mind and agreed to go to the Immortal Demon Assembly because it was Su Hanjiang's idea, and as his disciple, she couldn't disobey.
Disobeying one's master's orders is tantamount to disrespecting the Valley Master, which violates the first of the Eight Precepts.
They will be punished.
She didn't want to experience either being slammed against a wall and unable to get off, or being thrown off a cliff and unable to climb back up.
Ye Wan has never been thrown off Moonfall Cliff before.
When Chu Yiming was a child, Su Hanjiang often threatened him with this matter, which always frightened the child so much that he cried loudly.
Perhaps Su Hanjiang thought that once the water in his brain was all cried out, the child would no longer be stupid.
Ye Wan heard from the old man in the valley that the last time someone was thrown down Moonfall Cliff was more than a hundred years ago, when a traitor in the fifth-order Devouring stage committed a heinous crime.
As for what it was, the old man hesitated and refused to say, but in short, it was a heinous crime!
That traitor was skinned, had his tendons pulled out, and his legs broken by the Demon Ancestor. He was then thrown to the bottom of Moonfall Cliff and has yet to climb back up.
That's brutal, absolutely brutal. No wonder he's a demonic cultivator.
If this were given to immortal cultivators, at most their cultivation would be crippled, and they would be expelled from their sect.
Or just give them a quick death, instead of torturing them like this.
Ye Wan felt increasingly panicked as she thought about it. She shook her head to clear her mind and focused on her cultivation.
Namo Dharma, Namo Sangha, Namo... Ah, ptooey! I recited it wrong!
With less than a year until the Immortal-Demon Conference, Ye Wan needs to hurry and stop fooling around like this.
Losing face herself is fine, she's thick-skinned anyway; losing face for her master, uh... she's so beautiful, better not to lose face.
Ye Wan: I love Master the most, Master, please don't slap me against the wall.
Night falls.
Inside the Immortal Venerable's Mansion in Jinling.
"Reporting to the Immortal Venerable, the matter of the young master has been thoroughly investigated."
Zheng Kaiyuan looked tired and nodded to his subordinate to continue.
"According to my investigation, the child at Yueyun Manor is indeed the young master. Immortal Lord, shall I bring him back?"
Zheng Kaiyuan frowned and tapped the table lightly with his index finger, a habitual gesture when he was thinking. When his index finger stopped, it meant he had made up his mind.
"There's no need to rush. Let's see how that child performs at this conference. If he fails to satisfy me, he is not worthy to be my son."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Zheng Kaiyuan: If you can't be the son of the Immortal Venerable, then be a carefree rogue cultivator.
The Immortal's Palace was silent at night.
Zheng Kaiyuan got up, walked to the corridor, saw the iris flowers by the wall, and recalled the woman named He Yuwei.
He had only known He Yuwei for two days; in the long life trajectory of the Immortal Venerable, the time she occupied was but a fleeting moment.
Zheng Kaiyuan has never lacked women around him, and they are all ordinary people without spiritual roots.
The woman's smile was too dazzling, and even her departure was graceful and unrestrained, without the slightest hesitation.
Seventeen years ago
Zheng Kaiyuan was also a rogue cultivator at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage.
Nameless and unaffiliated, he faced death several times before finally achieving the Golden Core stage of cultivation.
At that time, he had a very high opinion of himself and believed that with his strength, he would definitely gain the appreciation of the immortals.
The immortal lord at that time was licentious and incompetent, spending his days indulging in pleasure and completely disregarding the order of the immortal cultivation world.
Regardless of strength, only blood ties matter.
Anyone who is related to the Celestial Venerable will be given important positions;
Conversely, no matter how strong you are, without blood ties, you are nothing.
Under the rule of this group of immortal cultivators of noble lineage, the Immortal Venerable's Mansion gradually weakened and was frequently attacked by some demonic beasts, suffering heavy losses.
After all, even the guard dogs of the Immortal Venerable's Mansion are of noble blood; how could they possibly fight with lowly demonic beasts?
It's beneath the class.
After several attacks by demonic beasts, some clear-headed individuals in the Immortal Venerable's Mansion began to realize that they had to recruit a group of rogue cultivators with considerable cultivation to protect the mansion, or it would be doomed sooner or later.
Golden Core cultivators like Zheng Kaiyuan were immediately given important positions.
Several months ago, a treasure was stolen from the Immortal Venerable's mansion, and the Immortal Venerable ordered Zheng Kaiyuan to retrieve it within a month.
Firstly, it was to prove their abilities, and secondly, it was to demonstrate their loyalty to the Immortal Venerable.
Zheng Kaiyuan accepted the order and went to carry it out.
The one who snatched the treasure was a demon cultivator, whose strength was approximately at the fourth level of the Bone Refining stage of demon cultivators. He was no match for Zheng Kaiyuan.
The biggest challenge is finding him.
Demon cultivators excel at hiding and escaping, but their strength is generally weak and scattered, making them insignificant.
Immortal cultivators have never taken demon cultivators seriously.
A demon cultivator at the fourth stage of Bone Refining is already among the best of the best.
Based on clues from the robbery scene, Zheng Kaiyuan quickly located a village.
When they found the demon cultivator, he was fighting with a woman.
The woman was He Yuwei.
Although He Yuwei is just an ordinary person, she is very skilled.
She moved with light steps and sharp moves, never showing any difficulty even when facing opponents who were clearly stronger than herself.
Seeing that He Yuwei was no match for the demon cultivator, if Zheng Kaiyuan didn't intervene, she would suffer a great loss.
Zheng Kaiyuan's attack caught the demon cultivator off guard. The demon cultivator was very cunning; seeing the Golden Core cultivator coming at him, he did not linger in battle.
He used He Yuwei's body as cover and escaped right under Zheng Kaiyuan's nose.
