The cultivation world is no longer the cultivation world it used to be.
As early as ten thousand years ago, after the ancient war, the cultivation world was divided into three major regions.
The Upper Realm is the abode of gods and immortals. If a cultivator wishes to ascend there, they must endure countless hardships and finally undergo eighty-one tribulations of lightning before they can become an immortal.
The lower realm was divided into the mainland and the northern region.
The spiritual energy on the mainland is gradually diminishing.
The spiritual energy in the Northern Region has not weakened, but it contains impurities. If one stays in the Northern Region for a long time, whether one is a human cultivator, a demon cultivator, a monster cultivator, or even an evil cultivator, it will affect one's spiritual energy.
Ultimately, they will all be affected by the impurities hidden in the spiritual energy; even if they don't die, they will go insane.
As the sect leader of the Taixu Sect, Rong Zhuo had access to excellent resources and should have broken through to the Mahayana Realm and entered the Tribulation Transcending Stage long ago, but he remained stagnant for thousands of years.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes for a cultivator to break through to the next level.
The lack of breakthroughs for thousands of years has driven Rong Zhuo, who appears calm on the surface, to madness in secret.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the country, searching for ways to break through barriers.
However, it was no use. The spiritual energy on the continent was suppressed too much, and Taixu Sect was already the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on the continent.
For him, this spiritual energy was still a drop in the ocean.
Until the Demon Lord Xuanming of the Demon Clan came to him, wanting to cooperate.
Rong Zhuo initially refused, but Xuan Ming offered him so much.
The demon race has existed for a long time, and Xuanming, as the newly appointed demon lord, controls most of the demon race's resources.
It absorbed the spiritual energy from the ancient celestial treasures that Xuanming had offered to it.
Feeling that the barrier of cultivation was about to be broken, Rong Zhuo no longer hesitated and directly chose to cooperate with the demons.
Later, Xuanming sent him more heavenly treasures, but they couldn't help him break through his cultivation level. Just as he was about to give up...
Sheng Ning was delivered to his doorstep.
It was as if they hadn't heard what the pig-worm said.
At this moment, Rong Zhuo's mind was filled with nothing but the Azure Dragon, the leader of the Four Divine Beasts, standing in front of him.
If he forms a pact with the Azure Dragon, the pure divine power within the Azure Dragon will surely help him break through his cultivation level.
Rong Zhuo's face flushed red with excitement.
He seemed completely unafraid of the worms, and he stepped forward, barely suppressing his excitement.
Seeing Sheng Ning standing to the side, he excitedly asked, "Young friend Sheng, is this Azure Dragon your child?"
"I, no, I'm willing to give everything. I want to form a bond with him!"
His voice trembled as he spoke, and Rong Zhuo took several deep breaths. Just as his fingers touched the dragon scales of the pig-worm, a spiritual energy he hadn't felt in a long time instantly rushed towards him.
Even so, Rong Zhuo still did not give up on getting close to Zhuerchong.
Not far away, Qin Chuan, who had just left on his sword, immediately turned around when he heard the loud noise coming from the courtyard.
Upon seeing the azure dragon circling in mid-air, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately flew towards the courtyard on his sword.
Meanwhile, due to the commotion caused in Rong Zhuo's courtyard on the main peak, elders and disciples from other peaks also rushed towards the courtyard.
Sheng Ning stood still, staring intently at Rong Zhuo, who was completely mesmerized by the pig-like insects.
Sensing someone approaching, a smile flashed in her eyes.
With a slight upturn of her lips, she spoke, "Sect Leader Rong, what are you doing? Do you think I would accept anything from you?"
"Why can't I accept it? You have the ability, and you are the reincarnation of the Creator God. Even if I were to hand over the entire Taixu Sect to you, it would be acceptable."
"As long as...as long as..."
As Rong Zhuo spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the piglet.
As a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana Realm, he could naturally sense that someone was heading this way.
However, no matter who came, nothing could stop him from forming a pact with the pig-worm.
Qin Chuan and the others, who had arrived at the sect leader's courtyard with Elder Qian and the others, heard Rong Zhuo's words as soon as they approached the courtyard.
The group looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard.
After seeing the looks in the eyes of those around them, they realized that the sect leader truly intended to hand over the Taixu Sect to Sheng Ning.
"Sect Master, you can't do this!"
Elder Qian arrived in a hurry, shocked that the divine beast Azure Dragon had actually appeared on the main peak of the Taixu Sect.
However, compared to the fact that the sect leader mainly wanted to give the Taixu Sect to Sheng Ning, he was more concerned about the future of the Taixu Sect.
With a slight twitch of his lips, he led a group of disciples to Rong Zhuo, and the group immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Please reconsider, Sect Master!"
Sheng Ning watched the farce unfold before her, and finally her gaze fell upon Qin Chuan.
Seeing his furrowed brows and his gaze fixed on her, she gave him a slight smile. "Has Fellow Daoist Qin ever doubted himself?"
Upon hearing the voice transmission in his ear, Qin Chuan's already furrowed brows deepened into the shape of the character "川" (Chuan).
He shook his head to indicate that he did not understand what she meant, and then he heard Sheng Ning's telepathic message ring in his ear again.
'I doubt how your cultivation level could have increased so quickly in an instant.'
'Perhaps you are also a chosen one, but how can a chosen one simply lie there and suddenly advance in cultivation?'
Qin Chuan had naturally had his doubts.
During that period, he was bombarded by Sheng Ning's rockets until he was barely recognizable as a human.
It was the sect leader and other elders who rescued him, and it was during that time that a storybook appeared in his mind.
In the storybook, Shi Yueyao is the female protagonist.
She jumped from the Invincible Sect to the Taixu Sect, using the Taixu Sect as a springboard.
Everyone adored her; the moment she opened her mouth, they would shower her with the best things in the world.
In the end, she ascended to immortality, and he, her senior brother who knew that the tribulation was unavoidable, still risked his life to shield her from it.
All the characters in the story seem to exist only to highlight Shi Yueyao; they lack vitality and are like puppets manipulated by a craftsman.
My own experience matched the early parts of the storybook.
That's why he treated Shi Yueyao that way.
Even if he treated Shi Yueyao terribly, Xi Zhen and the others still acted as described in the storybooks.
He was obsessed with Shi Yueyao, to the point of madness.
During that time, he doubted whether the character 'Qin Chuan' actually existed, but the flesh and blood on his body reminded him.
He is not only Qin Chuan from the novel, but also Qin Chuan of the Taixu Sect.
Once he was able to get out of bed completely, his cultivation level had also advanced to the perfect stage of the Integration Realm.
The sect leader said that it was due to his cultivation level. At that time, he was preoccupied with killing Shi Yueyao and going to the secret realm to find the totem.
That's why he didn't take the matter of cultivation to heart.
Now, Sheng Ning suddenly questions his cultivation level...
Qin Chuan took a deep breath and transmitted his voice to her, "Say what you want to say."
Sheng Ning enjoyed talking to intelligent people. She looked him up and down before speaking.
