Chapter 545: Chapter 281: Entering the Monster Forest_1

In the time leading up to Master Golden Sword’s transformation from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, Lin Yi began to alternate between his two identities, each appearing with equal frequency. freёnovelkiss.com

As a disciple of Liu Yun Sect’s Cloud Aerial Peak, Lin Yi would occasionally give lectures, instilling more insight. Although he also occasionally gave lectures in the Sun Moon Divine Sect, he did not adopt the title of teacher there, to avoid drawing a connection between himself and Lin Yi’s original body.

Meanwhile, while embodying the Invincible East, Lin Yi did not forget the characteristic traits of his identity. When he heard of sects that had beautiful disciples, he would approach them to ask if they wanted to join the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

However, his criteria were strict. Only those who had reached the Foundation Building Realm or above, had pure hearts, and were no less beautiful than Jade Illusion Zen Ren were worth inviting personally by him.

Surprisingly, many sects and female cultivators seemed eager to receive a personal invitation from Eastern Sect Master without any desire to avoid it.

Although the invited female disciples would thus sever their ties with their home sects, their affiliation with the Sun Moon Divine Sect would afford their former sects a layer of protection.

Regrettably, Jade Illusion Zen Ren was hailed as the finest beauty in the Cultivation World. Few women could match her, meaning there were only a handful of potential disciples for the Eastern Sect Master.

Over several months, Lin Yi only managed to recruit six female disciples. Among them, five were in the Foundation Building Realm, and only one was in the Golden Core Realm – a female sect leader of a mid-sized sect.

At the time, the sect was facing a life-and-death crisis. The female sect leader decided to join the Sun Moon Divine Sect without hesitation, resulting in their enemies withdrawing completely.

The Huahuan Sect, reputed to gather all the beautiful women in the world, did not receive any personal invitations from the Eastern Sect Master beyond the 20 women who had been accepted as disciples during the initiation ceremony.

Some Golden Core Realm masters from the Huahuan Sect began to regret selecting a dual cultivation partner so early on.

Moreover, after one of their Nascent Soul True Monarch was punished by the Eastern Sect Master, the sect became more cautious and even refrained from abducting women.

During these months, Lin Yi learned that his third senior brother, Li Yuan Qing, again failed to reach the Golden Core Realm. With only a little more than a decade till his lifespan at the Foundation Building Realm would be exhausted, he seemed to be desperate.

It was as if Li Yuan Qing had lost his way. With each failed attempt at breaking through, he became more confused.

Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng and Second Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu tried various methods to help him, but nothing worked. The Master was too engrossed in his attempt at breaking through and could spare no attention.

Despite Yuan Qing’s reluctance, he had to accept the possibility of remaining in the Foundation Building Realm until his death.

Lin Yi felt the urge to help Li Yuan Qing. After all, during the planting of the Spiritual Field in the Outer Sect, he had received a lot of assistance from this elder brother. Even though he had returned the favor through various matters, he couldn’t just turn a blind eye now.

Therefore, he intentionally visited Golden Sword Peak, where Li Yuan Qing resided. After hearing about his confusion, Lin Yi pinpointed the problem. He smilingly said, “Yuan Qing, taking the Master’s advice to cultivate your temperament and restrain your killing intent will benefit you. However, you shouldn’t treat it as the basis for cultivation and try to change your nature.”

“Being decisive and assertive is part of your natural character. If you forcefully try to change that, it will only create mental barriers. The reason for your confusion lies in this.”

“True Monarch Lin Xiao of the Heavenly Sword Sect also has a fierce killing aura. You just need to prevent this killing aura from affecting your true nature. At all other times, don’t suppress it, and don’t try to forcefully change it. Just be true to yourself.”

“Imagine a sword that has lost its edge. What would it become?”

Li Yuan Qing had been suppressing his true nature too much. These years of constantly suppressing his killing intent stripped him of his original vitality and made him ordinary.

Combined with his repeated failure to break through to the Golden Core Realm, he had plunged into self-doubt and continued to suppress his killing intent and true nature. With this mentality, a breakthrough would indeed be odd.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan Qing had a sudden realisation. At that moment, his body emitted a fierce killing aura, revealing his original sharp strength. Free from his past failures and with newfound vigor, he burst out in laughter. “Thank you, Uncle Master Lin, for pointing out the problem. I will begin my seclusion now.”

“I wish you a successful breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.” Lin Yi bowed with a smile and left the Cave Mansion.

Two months passed like this. Master Golden Sword’s transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul entered the final stage. Strange signs of gathered Spiritual Energy began to appear in the sky.

All the Golden Core Real Persons in the sect gathered, including injured Lord Xuan Qing, who watched the strange spectacle in the sky with excitement on their faces.

“Hahaha, my brother Golden Sword is finally about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm. Our Liu Yun Sect is gaining another Nascent Soul True Monarch,” the Drunken Immortal exclaimed joyously.

Lord Xuan Qing’s injuries hadn’t fully healed, and they were so severe that they had hurt his core. Even if he recovered completely, he would never regain his peak strength, let alone reach the Deification Realm.

At this time, Golden Sword Real Person’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm would undoubtedly boost the morale of Liu Yun Sect.

“Brother Drunken Immortal, you’re still calling him Junior Brother. You should be calling him Ancestor now,” some Golden Core Real Persons jokingly remarked.
