Chapter 294 I left my son without a penny!
Si Yuan suspected that he had to expose his cultivation in the God Transformation Stage and then attract Patriarch Lieyang, who invited him to participate in this Ascension Conference. Patriarch Lieyang himself attended the Ascension Conference, which caused a chain reaction. Other God Transformation forces also sent strong men in the God Transformation Stage to participate in this Ascension Conference... All of this was the development guided by the Heaven's Way of this world for the male protagonist's fortune to have a powerful master.
After all, if Chen Ye followed the steps to join the Lieyang Sect, he might never have the chance to show up in front of Patriarch Lieyang, a powerful figure in the God Transformation Stage. After all, Patriarch Lieyang hasn't made a public appearance for a long time. Even the Nascent Soul Stage elders of the Lieyang Sect are nowhere to be seen, let alone a new disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Moreover, Ancestor Lieyang is not the kind of person who likes to hide his identity and strength and secretly work as a gatekeeper or street sweeper in the sect. It is impossible for Chen Ye, who is in the foundation-building stage, to accidentally meet Ancestor Lieyang. Ancestor Lieyang stays quietly in the forbidden area in the back mountain, and there is no way Chen Ye can meet him.
So Tiandao thought, how can his son of destiny become a disciple? Then, he made a series of moves and gathered a large number of people in the Spirit Transformation Stage for a party, allowing them to see with their own eyes how outstanding the Son of Luck is. Next, a group of people in the Spirit Transformation Stage would probably vie to accept Chen Ye as their disciple.
Si Yuan was guessing in his heart what new script Tiandao had written for the male protagonist Chen Ye.
The current plot has already deviated so far that the original plot has little reference value, but the routines are still the same. Si Yuan can guess it almost right with just a random guess.
Logically speaking, Si Yuan should not care about Chen Ye's opportunities. After all, Chen Ye has left the Sheng family, and Sheng Yunqi has also broken off his friendship with Chen Ye. Whether Chen Ye falls into the mud or flies into the sky in the future has nothing to do with the Sheng family.
But Si Yuan thought about the temperament of Chen Ye, the lucky male protagonist, and estimated that Sheng Yunqi would break off his friendship with him because he hated the Sheng family. If he really gave Chen Ye a chance to succeed, he was afraid that Chen Ye would secretly retaliate against the Sheng family.
Although Si Yuan is not afraid of his revenge, it is also a trouble.
Si Yuan is not afraid of trouble. If he can nip the trouble in the bud, why should he sit back and do nothing, resulting in having to solve the trouble later?
With an idea in mind, Si Yuan calmly looked at the water mist mirror in front of everyone. It was obviously water mist formed by magic, but it was clearer and more visible than a mercury mirror. The size and angle could be adjusted at any time. He could freely display the entire process of the young monks participating in the Ascension Conference, with no blind spots in 360 degrees.
This is the magic of magic.
Si Yuan just slightly activated his spiritual power and enlarged the image of Chen Ye that only occupied a small area on the water mist mirror to the very center.
This immediately attracted the attention of other powerful people in the God Transformation Stage, such as Ancestor Lieyang. After all, everyone had sensed the spiritual power that Si Yuan had mobilized in the water mist mirror just now, and they all knew that it was Si Yuan who changed the channel.
Patriarch Lieyang asked curiously, "This Foundation Establishment cultivator's performance is not particularly outstanding, why did Venerable Sheng pay special attention to him?"
The contestant who was previously placed in the center of the water mist mirror was the current No. 1 contestant with the best performance in this Ascension Conference. Among the contestants participating in the Ascension Conference, Chen Ye's performance was mediocre. He was neither outstanding nor lagging behind. He was very mediocre and did not attract anyone's attention at all. It was only when Si Yuan moved the screen of him passing the level to the center that he attracted the attention of other powerful people in the God Transformation Stage.
Si Yuan smiled and looked at the Lieyang Sect Master, and said, "This man should look very familiar to you, Lieyang Sect Master?"
Although Sect Master Lieyang did not accept Chen Ye as his disciple in the Sheng family, he still had a deep impression of Chen Ye. After all, it was the first time that someone made him want to accept him as his disciple when they just met.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect was naturally impressed by Chen Ye and had not forgotten him, so he recognized Chen Ye at a glance.
The leader of Lieyang Sect nodded and said, "I remember... his name is Chen Ye, and he is a good friend of the son of Master Sheng?"
Si Yuan corrected calmly, "He is no longer a friend of the dog."
Sect Leader Lieyang paused and immediately realized what had happened after he left the Sheng family.
He remembered that Si Yuan seemed to have taken a liking to Chen Ye and wanted to take him as his disciple, but from Si Yuan's tone now, it seemed that something was not right? This is not the right attitude to treat a future apprentice.
Si Yuan raised his hand and a scene appeared in front of him. It was the scene where Sheng Yunqi comforted Chen Ye after the leader of Lieyang Sect left, but Chen Ye, on the contrary, blamed Sheng Yunqi without thinking.
Si Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Originally, I was going to give him a chance for my son's sake, but unfortunately this person has evil intentions and bad character. No matter how good Yunqi is to him, he always remembers the grudge and maliciously speculates on Yunqi's kindness to him. I dare not accept such a person who may bite me back at any time as my apprentice."
This time, Si Yuan did not express his desire to accept Chen Ye as his disciple, thus preventing other Jindan stage cultivators from competing with him for his disciple.
This trick worked for Sect Master Lieyang before because Sect Master Lieyang was only a Nascent Soul cultivator and he did not dare to compete with a Spirit Transformation cultivator for a disciple.
With so many Jindan stage cultivators present here, there might be a born rebel. Once he saw that Si Yuan had taken a liking to Chen Ye, he thought that Chen Ye was a treasure and wanted to take Chen Ye as his disciple, so he started competing with Si Yuan for the position.
This does not conform to what Si Yuan wants to achieve.
Therefore, Si Yuan chose to expose Chen Ye's true face and let these Jindan stage cultivators know that Chen Ye is an ungrateful person who does not remember kindness. If they accept him as a disciple, they must be mentally prepared that he will bite back at their master after they have taught him.
In this situation, if there are still cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage who want to accept Chen Ye as their disciple, then most likely they have ulterior motives and want to use Chen Ye.
Si Yuan's approach was indeed very effective. The leader of the Lieyang Sect, who had wanted to accept Chen Ye as his disciple before, immediately said, "This kind of character is really not good. Fortunately, I didn't really accept him as my disciple that day."
Regardless of whether Sect Master Lieyang really thought so in his heart, he looked at Si Yuan with gratitude on the surface.
Si Yuan stopped replaying the scene in front of him where Chen Ye's true identity was revealed. He said indifferently, "So my son severed ties with him, but the Sheng family didn't drive him away. He was too embarrassed to stay, so he left Feisha Fairy City. I didn't expect that he actually wanted to join the Lieyang Sect. It seems that he still holds out hope that the Sect Master of Lieyang Sect wants to accept him as a disciple."
Ancestor Lieyang frowned slightly and said to the Lieyang Sect Master: "As the Sect Master, you should be cautious when accepting disciples. Even if you really like someone at first sight, you should test him thoroughly before accepting him as a disciple. Don't accept disciples lightly."
The leader of the Lieyang Sect stood up and said sincerely, "Yes, disciple understands. Thank you for your teachings, ancestor."
The leader of the Lieyang Sect has completely given up the idea of accepting Chen Ye as his disciple.
Patriarch Lieyang naturally had no such idea. As for the other powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Stage who came to visit the Ascension Conference, they all remained silent and no one proposed to take Chen Ye as a disciple.
After all, Chen Ye's true identity has been exposed by Si Yuan. No one wants to accept an apprentice who may bite them back in the future. Moreover, Chen Ye's performance is not that outstanding, so they don't think highly of him at all.
The reason why Chen Ye performed so mediocrely was also related to the fact that Si Yuan cut off his opportunities twice.
The first time was when Qi Shen, the remnant soul of the Nascent Soul that possessed Chen Ye, was eliminated by Si Yuan. Without the guidance and instruction of Qi Shen, his Nascent Soul teacher, Chen Ye's path of cultivation was not smooth.
The second time was when Tiandao father prepared a second Nascent Soul teacher for his eldest son, but unfortunately, he was snatched away by Si Yuan in advance. The new teacher arranged by Tiandao father for Chen Ye was also dealt with by Si Yuan.
Originally, Si Yuan had Sheng Yunqi's golden finger, and he could have taken advantage of Sheng Yunqi to get guidance from the high-level cultivators of the Sheng family.
Even if Si Yuan banned the high-level monks of the Sheng family from teaching Chen Ye, with Sheng Yunqi secretly helping him, unless Si Yuan banned Sheng Yunqi as well, he would not be able to stop Chen Ye from taking advantage of Sheng Yunqi's teaching resources.
Unfortunately, Chen Ye was arrogant and suspected that Sheng Yunqi did not really want to help him. He also had an inexplicable sense of self-esteem and refused to accept Sheng Yunqi's kindness. As a result, he missed out on the teaching resources of the Sheng family again.
Ever since Qi Shen was killed by Si Yuan at the request of Chen Ye, Chen Ye had to rely on himself to explore the path of cultivation. Both his cultivation speed and his understanding and comprehension of spells became very slow. Naturally, he could not compare with those young cultivators who had the guidance of masters and elders.
However, Chen Ye can be said to be better than the worst. Compared with those ordinary casual cultivators who are pure casual cultivators and have no opportunities at all, Chen Ye, who once obtained the opportunity of Qi Shen, can be said to have certain advantages.
This resulted in Chen Ye's performance in this Ascension Conference being neither good nor bad.
Perhaps if Si Yuan had not put in the extra effort, no powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Stage would have taken a fancy to the mediocre Chen Ye.
But Si Yuan did not want to gamble on this possibility. Who knows whether Chen Ye's father, the Heavenly Dao, would once again let the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage present suddenly want to accept a mediocre disciple?
After all, when the Heavenly Dao wants to guide the thoughts of a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, almost no one will not fall into the trap when they are caught off guard.
For example, the leader of the Lieyang Sect had fallen into the trap once, but he was unaware of it and still thought that it was his own idea to take Chen Ye as a disciple in the Sheng family.
To the Heavenly Dao, there is no difference between cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage and those in the Nascent Soul Stage; they are both weaklings.
However, the laws of nature also have their limitations. It is impossible to forcibly change a person's mind. The most one can do is to induce a certain strong man in the Spirit Transformation Stage to have some good feelings towards Chen Ye, or to have some premonition that "this boy is my chosen disciple", and thus want to accept Chen Ye as his disciple.
After achieving his goal, Si Yuan no longer controlled the water mist mirror in the air to continue to magnify and display the scene of Chen Ye's breakthrough. Everything returned to the beginning. The center of the water mist mirror was showing the young cultivator who ranked first in the breakthrough result of this Ascension Conference.
Si Yuan couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw the talent and strength displayed by this young cultivator. Although he was not as talented as those geniuses in the Tiancang Realm, in this cultivation world where the upper limit was locked at the God Transformation Stage, this first-ranked young cultivator could be said to have the qualifications to reach the God Transformation Stage, and could be said to be guaranteed to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
Unfortunately, it is not the turn of outsiders like them to select these top few outstanding disciples. They will all be snatched up by the Lieyang Sect. After all, this is the Ascension Conference that the Lieyang Sect uses specifically to select and recruit disciples.
Only those who are left over from the Lieyang Sect and not accepted can be accepted as disciples by outsiders like them who come to visit.
But under normal circumstances, they also look down on the fish that slipped through the net that the Lieyang Sect despises. Moreover, their major forces also have their own ways of recruiting disciples similar to the Ascension Conference. There is no shortage of talented disciples. There is no need to come to the Lieyang Sect's Ascension Conference to pick up the rotten fish and shrimp left by the Lieyang Sect and bring them back to their own forces.
The passing rate of Lieyang Sect's Ascension Conference is quite high, with a passing rate of 50 to 60 percent. Although most disciples can only become outer disciples in Lieyang Sect after passing, and may waste their entire lives in the outer sect, at least they have entered the sect.
With Chen Yezhong's excellent grades, it is obvious that he can be selected.
However, after Si Yuan played the footage of his true identity exposed in public, the leader of the Lieyang Sect personally crossed out his name.
So Chen Ye became the one who slipped through the net of this Ascension Conference.
Sheng Yunqi sat behind Si Yuan. Although he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and not qualified to sit at the same table as the Spirit Transformation cultivators, as the only son of Si Yuan, a Spirit Transformation cultivator, he still had the capital to sit at the back.
He saw what Si Yuan did, and also noticed that the leader of Lieyang Sect crossed out Chen Ye's name. He felt very complicated.
Although he broke off relations with Chen Ye, he had no intention of retaliating or suppressing Chen Ye.
But now his father's actions seemed to be a revenge to suppress Chen Ye.
But his father did not slander Chen Ye with exaggeration, he just told the truth, and his father did nothing wrong.
Sheng Yunqi felt conflicted. He looked at Chen Ye, whose figure was almost invisible among the crowd of young cultivators participating in the Ascension Conference. He also felt bad when he saw Lieyang Sect announce the final list of successful candidates and saw Chen Ye's devastated look after learning that he was not selected.
Chen Ye had no idea that Sheng Yunqi was sitting there condescendingly, watching him being humiliated by his defeat.
After all, these little cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages are not qualified to look directly at the noble Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation stage masters above. Even if they look up, they will only see a thick fog and cannot see anything clearly.
When Chen Ye found out that he failed, he was quite unbelievable. He was selected by the leader of Lieyang Sect from Sheng Family. How could he fail even as an ordinary disciple of Lieyang Sect?
Moreover, judging from the results of the test, those with worse results than him were selected, so why was he eliminated?
Chen Ye really wanted to question the final shortlist, but feeling the strong pressure coming from the podium, he finally didn't dare to say a word and accepted the result in silence.
Chen Ye was very clear about the law of the jungle in the cultivation world. The Lieyang Sect was strong and he was weak. Even if there was something fishy about the list, even if he was tricked into failing the selection, if he dared to question the Lieyang Sect, he might not even have the chance to walk out of the gate of the Lieyang Sect's Ascension Conference alive.
He was not some extraordinary genius whose talent was so extraordinary that even the Lieyang Sect was reluctant to touch him. He did not have the capital to talk to the Lieyang Sect, let alone question the Lieyang Sect.
He could only think of finding another way to join the Lieyang Sect. He didn't have the patience to wait for the next Ascension Conference.
The Lieyang Sect's Ascension Conference is held every ten years. He was lucky this time and only had to wait for a few months. If he wanted to continue to participate in the next Ascension Conference, he would have to wait another ten years.
