Cheng Yunyan continued.

“The Azure Cloud Sect doesn’t have a good relationship with our Divine Martial Sect. I want to ask Sect Master if you’re willing to let bygones be bygones with the Azure Cloud Sect?”

Xiao Xiong shook his head without thinking.

“Of course not!”

Cheng Yunyan nodded.

“That’s right. We don’t have to go to the Azure Cloud Sect. Recently, there have been people in the martial arts world who are already angry that the Azure Cloud Sect has invited the Divine Martial Sect. At this time, we can’t stand against everyone. Furthermore, the Sect Master is unwilling to bury the hatchet with the Azure Cloud Sect. In that case, we can show evidence that the Azure Cloud Sect is colluding with the Demon Sect. At that time, the other sects in the martial arts world will tear the Azure Cloud Sect apart!”

Xiao Xiong’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He thought to himself that women were indeed the most vicious. Although this plan was not considered brilliant, it was powerful and ruthless!

That’s right. As long as this news spread, the Azure Cloud Sect would definitely have no place in the martial world. Not only would they have no place, but they would also fall into a bottomless abyss.

Xiao Xiong stood up.

“In that case, let’s not go to the appointment. Spread all the evidence of the Azure Cloud Sect colluding with the Demon Sect. The wider the better!”

“Finally, my generation will exterminate the Azure Cloud Sect, we’ll do it!”

…

The Divine Martial Sect did not care about martial ethics and spread the collusion ceremony between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Demon Sect. It spread very widely. The Divine Martial Sect had disciples and branches everywhere in the world. The disciples of the branches displayed their mystical abilities. Some spread the news through storytelling, while others spread the news by chatting with the aunties at the east end of the village.

The collusion between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Demon Sect instantly swept through the martial world like a plague.

The Azure Cloud Sect was already standing on the cliff of a bottomless abyss and had already become the public enemy of the martial world. Humans could always do very interesting things. Compared to the Demon Sect’s heinous crimes, the Azure Cloud Sect’s signs of being close to the Demon Sect were even more hateful.

The Azure Cloud Sect only had two choices now. The first was to announce the news of the ruins that they had already obtained, and the second was to be wiped out.

Of course, the outcome was obvious. The Azure Cloud Sect had announced a ruin that had yet to be opened and obtained a chance to catch their breath. However, they were really at odds with the Divine Martial Sect.

After a while, a piece of news came. The sect master and elders of the Azure Cloud Sect had all disappeared, and they had been defeated. Without the sect master and elders, a sect would lose its functions.

Although the Azure Cloud Sect had a feud with the Divine Martial Sect, the Divine Martial Sect knew that the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect were not bad. If they were recruited into the Divine Martial Sect and brainwashed, they would definitely become a new force of the Divine Martial Sect.

Just like that, the Divine Martial Sect and the other sects sent their elders to recruit them. Although the Divine Martial Sect had a feud with the Azure Cloud Sect and the destruction of the Azure Cloud Sect was basically all thanks to the Divine Martial Sect, the Divine Martial Sect was still a famous sect in the pugilistic world. Compared to other small sects, more disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect were still willing to join the Divine Martial Sect.

Therefore, when they recruited the Divine Martial Sect this time, they only recruited more than 70% of the Azure Cloud Sect’s disciples. Although the remaining disciples were few in number, most of them had high realms and had stayed in the Azure Cloud Sect for a long time. Therefore, they hated the Divine Martial Sect even more.

Having one was a gain. Xiao Xiong did not care about the remaining 20% of the Azure Cloud Sect’s disciples with high cultivation realms.

After these disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect joined the Divine Martial Sect, they adapted for a period of time. One day, the sect master gave the order to gather all the disciples of the Divine Martial Sect, including the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect who were later recruited.

In the square of the Divine Martial Sect, Xiao Xiong stood on the stage and said loudly.

“Disciples of the Divine Martial Sect, the great opportunity that belongs to us cultivators is coming. After a while, a ruin will open. If you can grasp this opportunity, it won’t be difficult for you to improve. It won’t even be difficult for you to break through the bottleneck that has troubled you for many years.”

“As your sect master, I believe that you can complete the mission perfectly and grasp your own opportunities. I believe in you!”

When the disciples below the stage heard this, they were very excited. However, some of the older disciples with average talent could only laugh when they heard this.

Because those who could go must be those talented disciples.

Then, an elder announced the list of people who could go to the ruins. Indeed, only a small number of people could go.

As a legacy disciple, Liu Shengtian was naturally among them.

Liu Shengtian told Gu Xiao about the sect’s arrangements. Gu Xiao was very worried that Liu Shengtian would lose his footing in the ruins if he followed the sect.

However, Gu Xiao also knew that he would not be able to achieve greatness without experiencing difficulties. Liu Shengtian had always been at the peak of the Connate Realm. According to Liu Shengtian himself, he could clearly sense that he would not have any signs of a breakthrough in the next five years. If he really wanted to take this step, he had to seize this opportunity. Even if he could not break through, it would definitely be helpful.

Gu Xiao agreed to let Liu Shengtian follow the sect into the ruins to explore and look for opportunities. However, there was a condition. If he found anything wrong, he would run immediately.

He had always believed that as long as there was life, there was hope. Moreover, who knew what was in the ruins?

Liu Shengtian agreed and followed the elders to the ruins.

At first, everything was normal. Gu Xiao even went to Liu Shengtian’s dream every night as scheduled to ask him about the situation, but later on, he could not enter the dream anymore.

After confirming that Liu Shengtian was still alive, Gu Xiao did not take it seriously at first. He only thought that Liu Shengtian might have entered a state of cultivation and forgotten to sleep, just like Gang Feng and Gang Xuan.

This was a rare state. After entering this state, one’s cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. In the past, there were even people who had been troubled by the bottleneck for decades and entered a rare state of selflessness in their lives. After cultivating, it was as if they had broken through the bottleneck.

The previous Demon Sect Master was a hundred-year-old demon. Before he became an existence that everyone in the martial arts world feared, he was also troubled by a bottleneck for decades. He also accidentally entered a state of self-absorption and broke through the bottleneck, becoming famous throughout the world.

There was no news from Liu Shengtian. He had not even sent a letter to the Divine Martial Sect during this period of time. Some elders and disciples of the Divine Martial Sect had already returned to the sect safely.

Bai Mingxuan and the others couldn’t contact Liu Shengtian, so they could only ask Gu Xiao. He could only tell them that Liu Shengtian was still alive and that Lord Divine Tree could sense it.

However, Liu Shengtian had never contacted him. This state lasted until winter.

Gu Xiao also began to feel uncertain. He began to think about whether he should let Ling Yao choose a few high-level and skilled villagers in the village to look for Liu Shengtian.

At this moment, good news finally came. Gu Xiao suddenly realized that his experience had increased, and it had grown a lot. Liu Shengtian also sent news that he had broken through.

From then on, Liu Shengtian had already become the third Foundation Establishment realm believer besides Ling Yao and Bai Mingxuan.

He had just turned 20 years old! This was the youngest Foundation Establishment realm expert!
