Chapter 154: Chapter 154: From Dutiful Senior Sister to Demon Cultivator 28

While the people of the Cultivation World were searching for the Secret Realm, Ying Zhefeng was busy preparing for the Dao companion ceremony, and all the puppets in his hands were bustling about.

A clearing outside his cave was prepared for hosting guests on the day of the Dao companion ceremony.

Although he used to be alone, thinking he had no friends.

But after he broadcasted the news of his upcoming Dao companion ceremony with Ah Chen, people quickly responded, asking when the ceremony was so they could come and offer their blessings.

It must be said, Ying Jianjun, who usually doesn’t care much about anything, was very attentive to this matter. Since so many people wanted to come and offer their congratulations, he naturally wouldn’t refuse, and he intended to hold a grand Dao companion ceremony.

It could be said that, apart from the Lingxiao Sect and the three major sects who suffered losses, most people in the Cultivation World didn’t see anything wrong with Ying Zhefeng and Ah Chen becoming Dao companions.

Those sects that had competed for the fifty spots calmed down and found that the Secret Realm escaping was a good thing, implying a greater chance to enter the Secret Realm for them. Moreover, encountering the Secret Realm doesn’t actually limit the number of entrants, eliminating the need to struggle for those fifty spots. Realizing this was more beneficial, they were naturally happy.

And those smaller forces and loose cultivators who couldn’t win spots mostly felt quite grateful to Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng. Regardless of who among the two intended to break the Secret Realm’s array, ultimately the ones who truly benefited were those who had no chance to vie for spots.

For so long, seeing Yun Chen’s conduct, although he’s a demon cultivator, he really hasn’t done any evil.

In comparison, the Lingxiao Sect and the three major sects were more annoying, especially the Lingxiao Sect.

In short, the reputation of the Lingxiao Sect was ruined.

Recently, there were continuous rumors from the Lingxiao Sect, and everyone just regarded them as jokes.

The three major sects were very annoyed, even though they also had the same chance to enter the Secret Realm, with no restrictions on the number of people, seemingly unaffected. But now, the Secret Realm became uncontrollable, and everyone had a chance to enter it. This meant that soon, the status of the three major sects would be threatened, something they couldn’t stop.

Qianyuan Sect’s Seventh Peak Master Zhu Hui, Kaisan Sect’s Elder Li Qingfeng, and Wulian Palace’s Palace Master Pang Xuan had always had a good relationship.

Upon learning that Ying Zhefeng and Ah Chen were to become Dao companions, the three decided to meet together.

It’s been several months since they were at Lingxiao Sect that day.

Back then, they lost almost half of their cultivation, and it was only because the three had some skills to resist that they didn’t lose more. Fortunately, they had lots of resources, and after a few months, they roughly recovered their cultivation, though they were still extremely vexed.

These days, the Secret Realm appeared in various places in the Cultivation World, and many people pursued it, but people found that entering the Secret Realm required some fate, and it’s not something one could achieve by merely chasing it. Sometimes, when the entrance seemed right in front of them, it would vanish by the time they caught up.

The three suffered such a great loss last time, so they naturally thought of entering the Secret Realm to compensate for the loss. They pursued for a while to no avail, and had to acknowledge that "fate" played a bigger part.

They had to give up temporarily.

However, within their sects, there were indeed disciples who entered the Secret Realm, which was barely considered good news.

Wulian Palace is just a mid-tier power. In the past few months, almost seven disciples entered, which was naturally a good thing for Pang Xuan.

Though she regretted not entering, she was in good spirits.

She had to admit that after the array fixing the Secret Realm was broken, Wulian Palace truly gained a lot of benefits.

In past competitions for spots, Wulian Palace could only seize three at most, and not often.

These past months, some of her notions were challenged.

Moreover, Ying Zhefeng’s words from that day kept echoing in her mind.

Perhaps, as he said, if things continue as they are, the tragedies of the Cultivation World may repeat.

The Secret Realm gaining freedom revitalized the previously stagnant Cultivation World, and she could see that vigorous vitality taking shape.

She didn’t believe that the three major sects couldn’t see it.

However, they still weren’t willing to accept it.

Because the status of the three major sects was under threat.

The Kaisan Sect, below the three major sects, probably shared similar thoughts.

But she had a good relationship with Zhu Hui and Li Qingfeng and naturally couldn’t directly express these thoughts.

As for Ying Zhefeng and Yun Chen becoming Dao companions, she had regrets but had long anticipated it. Such detailed tenderness of Ying Zhefeng only existed before Yun Chen.

She smiled, just like the Secret Realm, without fate, one couldn’t enter; with fate, the Secret Realm might appear before you and pull you in, which had happened before, not something she imagined.

This happened when a cultivator was being hunted by a demon cultivator; at a critical moment, the Secret Realm’s entrance appeared and pulled the dying cultivator in, leaving the two demon cultivators chasing dumbfounded.

"So Ying Zhefeng and Yun Chen are to become Dao companions in three months; will you go?" Li Qingfeng asked.

Pang Xuan came back to her senses and said, "Let’s go. Since Mr. Ying has sent out the news, I naturally have to go and show support."

Li Qingfeng saw her usual expression, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you willing?"

"Why wouldn’t I be? I never had a chance," Pang Xuan said with a smile. She had known Ying Zhefeng for many years but never had a chance to get close, a conclusion she had long understood.

Why did they all feel she was unwilling?

Yes, the last time she intercepted Ying Zhefeng and Yun Chen, she had selfish motives, hoping no one could approach him. But if Yun Chen weren’t a demon cultivator, she wouldn’t have gone to stop them. She mostly intervened because Yun Chen was a demon cultivator.

In these months, her mind became clearer.

Demon cultivators who didn’t commit evil didn’t seem so scary.

"You two, I seem to have some insights and intend to go back to seclusion for a while." Pang Xuan stood up, "See you at Mr. Ying’s Dao companion ceremony in three months."

Zhu Hui and Li Qingfeng naturally didn’t stop her, watching her leave.

As she walked away, Zhu Hui chuckled, "You’ve never had a chance either."

With that, he too got up and left.

Li Qingfeng’s face was cold. Yes, he had never had a chance either.

On the day of Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng’s Dao companion ceremony, many people came, and it was bustling.

There were those she knew and those she didn’t.

Worth mentioning, Ling Kewei came, only to leave after offering a gift. Only Ling Kewei came from the Lingxiao Sect, other than the people sent by Yin Tianyun to deliver presents.

Of course, Ah Chen wouldn’t expect anyone from over there to come.

It’s said that the only disciple from the commissioner’s former master Zou Yi under whom often visited him was Ling Kewei.

The once Spirit Fire Peak now had a new Peak Master. Since Ling Kewei was among the outstanding younger generation, his cave was still in the original location and was well-treated by the sect. Additionally, his attitude toward Zou Yi earned him some appreciation, with a good reputation inside and outside the sect.

Ba Fan and Gu Yu were of moderate aptitude and encountered problems in cultivation. Without Zou Yi as their master as backing, their caves naturally couldn’t remain in the prime spot.

The sect didn’t need to outright expel them. Just by implementing some new rules, they had all kinds of reasons to make them move to second-tier caves.

Especially Gu Yu, who received all the bitterness he should have before, now suffering as he struggled within Lingxiao Sect.

Ba Fan faced a heart demon, his cultivation was stuck at a bottleneck, and it was said he became irritable and gloomy, no longer showing his previous honest demeanor.

It must have been Lin Mingxi who influenced him significantly, making it hard for him to overcome.

Wen Shaojin’s situation was even worse.

Yin Tianyun, to rid him of his heart demon, even took him to see Lin Mingxi, only to find his heart demon worsened, frantically anxious.

Seeing the disciple deteriorate, Yin Tianyun had no choice but to look for a new one.

However, under such circumstances in Lingxiao Sect, let alone those with talent, even those with options wouldn’t be willing to join.

"Congratulations, wishing you peace and success."

Ah Chen accepted Pang Xuan’s gift, accompanied by a wish from her.

"Thank you," Ah Chen responded with a smile.

She noticed Pang Xuan’s cultivation seemed to have slightly improved, and her whole demeanor became more serene.

Jing Zheng and three others also came forward, offering Ah Chen gifts and congratulations.

The power on them seemed less volatile than before. It was heard they entered the Secret Realm, presumably gaining some benefits.

The last time she saw the four, apart from Jing Zheng and Meng Yue, the conditions of the other two were dangerously poor, but now they were fine.

With the Dao companion ceremony ended, the guests began to disperse.

At this moment, a ripple appeared in the air.

Following shortly by Ying Zhefeng and Ah Chen’s side, a Secret Realm entrance appeared and sucked them inside.

All the guests widened their eyes: Was this a congratulatory gift?

Furthermore, the entrance hadn’t disappeared, madly sucking in the present guests, with some taking the opportunity to jump inside, thrilled that they weren’t thrown out.

This trip was worth the value!

Those who had entered before and hadn’t cooled down enough were unable to re-enter, but this was a restriction, so Jing Zheng and others weren’t regretful, as they’d already gained significant benefits from their previous entry into the Secret Realm.
