Chapter 34: Potential Crisis of the Sect

When the Ancient Wood Hidden Qi Art broke through to the perfect realm, the random gain multiplier was triggered as expected.

A four-fold gain effect!

Under normal circumstances, his hidden situation could not be seen if he exceeded one major realm, but now it cannot be seen if he exceeds four major realms. Of course, if he fights or a strong person seriously investigates him, the risk of exposure will naturally increase. Nothing in the world of immortal cultivation can be completely guaranteed.

However, safety has indeed been greatly improved.

The cultivation level that can be disguised up and down reaches twelve small realms!

What surprised him was that he still could not disguise the cultivation level of the foundation building realm!

It's like the Qi Refining Realm is a bottomless pit that can swallow all twelve small realms!

If you think about it carefully, you will understand what the real division of the Qi Refining Realm is?

The number of times the Dantian expands!

If the Dantian can continue to expand, the realm can naturally continue to rise.

Theoretically, there is no limit.

Therefore, there was a cultivation system in ancient times, which was the Qi Refiner, who kept opening up the Dantian and constantly improving the upper limit of the quantity and quality of spiritual power.

But this path is no longer popular now, because becoming an immortal requires enlightenment, and only after cultivating into a Nascent Soul can one better understand the Tao.

Han Yuan packed up and flew out quietly from above the cave.

When he flew out of the cave, he saw several figures near the door.

He approached quietly without attracting the attention of these people, listening to their conversation.

A few minutes later, a disciple said helplessly: "The president asked us to keep an eye on the Cangming Cave. How long will it take? I want to do tasks to earn spirit stones!"

Another disciple with a beard said: "Keep an eye on it first, and the president will still lack your spirit stones?"

"He has already become a true disciple, what's the point of keeping an eye on him?"

"Haha, the position of a true disciple is not something that everyone can sit on. He ranks seventh!"

The third person quickly covered the disciple who just spoke without restraint, and whispered: "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about! If someone hears us, we're done!"

Several people quickly shut up.

Han Yuan listened for a while, and left quietly after making sure that there was nothing to gain.

On the way, he was also thinking in his heart.

His status as a true disciple is indeed ranked seventh, and there are four true disciples who have already died.

Each true disciple has good talent, qualifications, and strength. How did they die?

It is generally impossible inside the sect, that is, they died while going out of the sect to experience, take risks, or complete some tasks.

So you can't be idle, and the realm you show outside can't be too high. If it is too high, you will be called out for experience. For example, the fourth sister is out for experience, and her cultivation is at the peak of Qi Refining.

"Speaking of which, the fourth sister just went out for experience? The five or six brothers and sisters have already died. It seems that the fourth sister also saw through it and suppressed her realm until she couldn't suppress it anymore."

Han Yuan was thoughtful. He was different. He didn't need to suppress his realm because he could pretend to be at a low realm, which was perfect.

Not long after, he came to Gumu Peak.

By hiding his breath, he quietly came to the Sutra Pavilion in the outer gate area.

A purple-haired old man was sitting behind the desk, looking at him with a smile.

"You're here?" said Ziyun Patriarch with a smile.

"Disciple greets the Patriarch!" Han Yuan saluted.

"No need to be polite."

Ziyun Patriarch said lightly, "I thought you would come to me soon, but I didn't expect you to be able to hold your temper to consolidate your newly broken cultivation. Not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment, Patriarch." Han Yuan smiled lightly. He was not here to consolidate his cultivation, but to refine the "Ancient Wood Hidden Qi Sutra" before coming here. If there was no coincidence, he would have no problem understanding the perfect level in one day. He would have no problem holding it for two or three years!

Ziyun Patriarch nodded. This kid was thick-skinned.

He waited for a moment, but did not see Han Yuan ask questions first, and he was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea and drank it.

At this time, Han Yuan smelled a light and leisurely tea fragrance, and his eyes could not help but secretly glance over.

Patriarch Ziyun chuckled: "This is the tea from the sect's only five-thousand-year-old tea tree. It is a spiritual tea made through thirty-seven processes and has the effect of stabilizing the foundation. Would you like to drink a cup?"

Han Yuan's eyes lit up: "How embarrassing?"

He stretched out his hand.

However, Patriarch Ziyun blocked his action and said with a smile: "It's easy to drink. As long as you complete the task, you can get a reward."

Han Yuan didn't pretend at this time and asked: "Ancestor, what are the benefits of my secret disciple? There is still no sign! You won't lie to me, right?"

Patriarch Ziyun glared at him: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Han Yuan kept silent and stared at Patriarch Ziyun.

After a while, the Purple Cloud Patriarch felt a little uncomfortable, so he said, "Our Earth God Sect is descended from the Heaven God Sect in the Middle Ages. Later, the Heaven God Sect was destroyed, and our lineage moved to Beiyuanzhou and established the Earth God Sect. At that time, there was also an ancestor in the Yuanshen realm sitting in charge, and the sphere of influence covered half of Beiyuanzhou."

Heaven God Sect?

Why does this name sound like it's quite attractive? No wonder it was destroyed!

Han Yuan muttered in his heart.

"Later, the Yuanshen ancestor died of old age and injuries, and eventually fell. After that, the Earth God Sect never had a Yuanshen power again, and its sphere of influence gradually declined. Now it only occupies the territory of forty dynasties and four dynasties, and occupies only one twentieth of the entire Beiyuanzhou."

Han Yuan frowned slightly, with an ominous premonition in his heart: "That is to say, the original territory of our Di Shen Sect was occupied by other sects. They can't just watch us have another Yuan Shen master and take the territory back, right?"

Ancestor Ziyun looked at him in surprise and nodded: "You are very smart. Yes, although the strength of our Di Shen Sect and the nearby sects is not much different, and there is peace on the surface, the nearby sects have a tendency to work together to suppress our Di Shen Sect. However, our Di Shen Sect still has the Yuan Shen foundation in hand, and they dare not tear their faces."

"Then it's dangerous for our Di Shen Sect to go out and venture?" Han Yuan muttered.

"Which great master didn't come out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood? This situation seems to be a crisis, but it is also your opportunity. With the pressure from other sects, you have a better chance to break through the bottleneck. Now my Di Shen Sect has a constant number of Yuanying cultivators, just because of this!" Ancestor Ziyun said lightly.

Han Yuan didn't agree with him. No wonder four of Lingwenfeng's true disciples died. Once they left the sect, there were enemies everywhere, and the true disciples couldn't stand it!

"Ancestor, after saying so much, you still haven't told me what the benefits of secret disciples are?" Han Yuan asked curiously.

Ancestor Ziyun glared at him: "Didn't you hear it? Are you so stupid again this time?"

Han Yuan's expression froze.

"Our Dishen Sect has a long heritage. Now it looks like a Yuanying Sect, but it has Yuanshen inheritance, and even higher-level inheritance. Other sects have no way to enter the gate when they reach Yuanying, but our Dishen Sect has it! The benefit of secret disciples is naturally that they can practice the real inherited skills and practice all the way!" Ancestor Ziyun said proudly.

Han Yuan's palms were sweating when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "If I were another Nascent Soul Sect, we would definitely unite to attack the Earth God Sect, because other sects with the inheritance of the Yuanshen are not easy to fight, and we have the inheritance of the Yuanshen, but we are only a Nascent Soul Sect, this..."

Ziyun Patriarch said calmly: "We are of course aware of this, but these sects are also dirty, and coupled with the problem that the cultivation method is difficult to transform, how can those people be of one mind? And can they really obtain the Yuanshen method by attacking our Earth God Sect? Haha, if it was that easy, they would have started it long ago, and they could still live in peace for thousands of years?"

Hearing this, Han Yuan nodded slowly. Indeed, they have lived in peace for thousands of years, and it seems that everything is fine, but who is he? A time traveler!

The time traveler has entered the Earth God Sect. According to convention, the scene of three or five sects besieging the Earth God Sect can be expected!

A sense of urgency suddenly rose in Han Yuan's heart.

Patriarch Ziyun looked at his slightly impatient expression and smiled slightly. This was also his purpose. If he didn't put some pressure on this kid, how could he grow quickly?

"Okay, you are just a young cultivator now. These matters between sects will not fall on you. Since you want the benefits of a secret disciple, I will give it to you!"
