After You Yindi became a saint, his ambition expanded rapidly.
Perhaps it was the sudden surge in his strength that gave him the illusion that he was confident he could defeat Cao Zhengchun after becoming familiar with his own holy power.
The saying "all below the level of a sage are ants" is not just a joke. Even though there are countless geniuses in the Chaos Sea, no one has ever been heard of who could defeat a sage with the cultivation of a quasi-sage!
Therefore, he did not believe that Cao Zhengchun had the ability to defeat him.
Of course, he wasn't stupid. Although he was confident he could defeat Cao Zhengchun, he also understood that Cao Zhengchun must have a backup plan, and with his saintly cultivation, he could at most ensure his own safety.
Saints are immortal and indestructible, and their primordial spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao. Even a Hunyuan expert who has reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven cannot destroy his true spirit. This is his greatest confidence!
That's why he dared to confront Cao Zhengchun directly and was able to follow him.
Before long, the two arrived at a human city.
Although this city was frequently ravaged by war, it held firm and was never breached, ensuring the safety of its inhabitants. This was an extremely rare occurrence in the human realm.
Cao Zhengchun landed in a tall temple within the city. With a thought, You Yindi explored the entire temple.
I couldn't help but gasp.
Unexpectedly, there are ten quasi-saint powerhouses in this small temple whose cultivation levels are similar to Cao Zhengchun's!
These ten quasi-saints had different auras in his divine sense, but the only thing they had in common was that they all had their auras contained, so their combat power was probably similar to Cao Zhengchun's.
"What? My good disciple, are you afraid to come in?"
Cao Zhengchun's voice came through, full of sarcasm.
He no longer holds any hope for this fool who doesn't know how to make choices; everything is fate.
He thought he could reverse the outcome of You Yindi's betrayal through his teachings and example, but the result was already predetermined. His only disciple made the wrong choice, and his final fate was death!
Upon hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, You Yindi's expression turned serious.
He then chuckled and said, "Master has given the order, and I dare not disobey."
He was also highly skilled and daring. He believed that these ten people were Cao Zhengchun's trump card, but he couldn't think of anything that could threaten him.
Even the strongest Quasi-Saint is still just a Quasi-Saint!
He then swiftly landed, directly in the center of the ten people, displaying the demeanor of a master!
"You Yindi has come to repay the debt of karma. Please tell me what you wish to do!" You Yindi said this neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Upon seeing this, the sweeping monk couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old Cao, it seems your first disciple has ended in failure."
Youquan couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "It seems Elder Cao doesn't understand the art of raising people, and has actually taught a traitor!"
"If this gets back to the palace, Elder Cao's prestige will probably plummet," Hu Li quipped sarcastically.
Xiong Ba said with a righteous expression, "What do you know? Elder Cao is asking the question with his own body. How could he not have deduced this outcome when he cultivated the law of cause and effect? He is still like this, he just wants to try to reverse cause and effect. It seems that Elder Cao is about to prove the Dao of Hunyuan."
While Xiong Ba appeared to be speaking up for Cao Zhengchun, his words revealed to everyone that Cao Zhengchun was likely the one who would first achieve the Hunyuan realm, thus making Cao Zhengchun too many enemies and turning him into a target of public criticism.
Cao Zhengchun kept his eyes down, seemingly oblivious to what others were saying.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, You Yindi immediately released a trace of holy power, causing the sky to become covered with dark clouds for no reason, and the space in the hall suddenly became as heavy as a mountain.
But Cao Zhengchun's eyes turned cold, and he saw a spell cast, instantly dispelling You Yindi's holy power.
It was as if all his magical power was locked deep inside his body, and he couldn't use it at all!
This discovery stunned him instantly, and he demanded, "You've planted a hidden weapon on me?"
He then shook his head and denied it, saying, "That's impossible. When I became a saint, I had already re-tempered my holy body. Even if there were any hidden tricks, they should have disappeared long ago."
He looked at Cao Zhengchun, hoping to get an answer.
Cao Zhengchun did not disappoint him, and said calmly, "I have said before that a saint is nothing in the eyes of our Palace Master. This hidden move was left on you by the Palace Master. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot detect it, let alone you!"
You Yindi angrily said, "It's the Palace Master again! What exactly is the Palace Master's cultivation level? I am the Chosen One, favored by the Heavenly Dao. Everyone below the Heavenly Dao must be under my control!"
Upon hearing his words, the ten people all laughed and said, "Is this guy an idiot?"
"He doesn't seem to understand that the Chosen One is nothing more than a plaything of my Cloud Palace."
"Why waste words with a traitor? Let's just cast the spell!"
Hearing what everyone was saying, You Yindi looked confused.
He looked at Cao Zhengchun again, hoping to get an answer from him.
Cao Zhengchun showed no joy or sorrow, and his body emanated wisps of primordial energy, clearly a sign that he was about to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!
"I understand. Your purpose in teaching me is to help me break through to the Hunyuan realm!"
Cao Zhengchun shouted, "Shut up!"
He then said calmly, "How do you think you became the chosen one? You're just a piece of trash. There are many people in the world who suffer injustice like you. What makes you so special?"
You Yindi was taken aback upon hearing this and said, "The Chosen One is bestowed by Heaven. I was born to bear the mandate of Heaven, to exterminate you outsiders and save Wuliang from danger!"
Cao Zhengchun sneered, "Your claim to be the chosen one is a gift from Heaven? What a joke! You're just a good-for-nothing blinded by a woman. Would Heaven choose someone like you to bear its destiny?"
You Yindi, looking as if he had gone mad, asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Cao Zhengchun explained, "You are merely a chosen one created casually by the Palace Master. Without the Palace Master, you are nothing."
"Created at will? The Chosen One can be created by human hands?" You Yindi's heart was rapidly collapsing.
“That’s because you lack understanding. You originally had the opportunity to join my Cloud Palace, and I have been working towards that goal to change your mind, but you didn’t cherish it, which is why you’ve ended up like this!” Cao Zhengchun said with a hint of regret.
As for You Yindi, he was Cao Zhengchun's tool for attaining enlightenment, and as his first disciple, he did indeed have some feelings for him.
Therefore, in addition to teaching him by word and deed and subtly changing his thinking, he also spared no effort in cultivating him. Otherwise, how could he have reached the Quasi-Saint realm in just two thousand years?
This is not the kind of secret method used by Tianyang Tianzun and others, which involves initiating power and transmitting skills, affecting the cultivator's foundation and altering their genetic sequence. Instead, it is a legitimate way to cultivate to the Quasi-Saint realm.
It's easy to imagine how much Cao Zhengchun sacrificed for him!
"I am a saint, immortal and indestructible. What can you do to me by sealing my cultivation? At most, you can kill or imprison me. You are just a bunch of quasi-saints. Even if you attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, you still can't kill me!"
This was You Yindi's last trump card. He desperately wanted to see a hint of sorrow on everyone's faces, but that was just wishful thinking!
