In the Desolate Heaven Domain, within a canyon in the Sky-Wild Mountains of Central State, seven layers of colorful formations sealed off everything.
Inside, twenty-one men and women stood, all exuding incomparably powerful auras. These people were at least vice sect masters or grand elders of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates.
Every sect had a representative present, except for the Grand Righteous Sword Sect.
Standing at the center was an elderly man with white hair and beard—Ouyang Xuri, Sect Master of the Upper Purity Sect.
After glancing around, he spoke in a deep voice, “Everyone, the new Holy Son of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect, Ji Wushuang, has obtained the Spirit Source Creation. We cannot allow him to continue existing. Otherwise, at the Disciple Selection Conference… our sects’ Holy Sons and Saintesses will never catch the attention of Immortal Mu Yun.”
A burly man in a black robe sneered coldly and said, “In that case, the best method is… to eliminate him!”
A beautiful woman shook her head and refuted, “Impossible! We are righteous sects. How can we commit such filthy acts? Moreover, if we do this, it will be too obvious… a single misstep, and we’ll only bring disaster upon ourselves.”
A hunched old man in a gray robe chuckled, “Sect Master Ouyang, since you’ve gathered us all here, I assume you already have a foolproof plan? Why don’t you tell us, and we can act in unison…”
Thus, all eyes once again focused on Ouyang Xuri.
“Use a borrowed knife to kill! And there’s a knife perfectly suited for the job… Nangong Feifei of the Limitless Demon Sect! That woman is extremely arrogant, and the incident with the Grand Righteous Sword Sect’s Echo Pearl is the perfect bait!”
“We only need to release information that the mastermind behind that incident was Ji Wushuang! Given that demoness’s personality… hehehe…”
“To ensure the plan’s success, we must also pay a price… let’s gather one million high-grade spirit stones and hire Blood Drop Assassination Alliance’s number one killer, Demon Void!”
“Hehehe… No matter how talented Ji Wushuang is, he’s just a 9th Grade Golden Core… he’s doomed! I’ll personally cover the spirit stones for this matter. Is that acceptable?”
Ouyang Xuri spoke slowly, presenting his plan.
Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they nodded in agreement.
Such a plan, flawless and leaving them completely uninvolved, was truly ingenious!
Although giving up fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones each pained them, it was undoubtedly worth it.
Thus, the group quickly reached an agreement.
…
At the foot of Heaven-Piercing Golden Peak of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect, many elders and disciples gathered, all here to witness Liu Ruyan’s ‘proof of innocence.’
Ji Yaoyue, Elder Qingyue, Elder Tong Hammer, and others were all present.
Surprisingly, Ji Wushuang’s mental state was quite poor. He looked dazed and his face was gloomy.
“Wushuang, my disciple, you must have worried too much last night and couldn’t sleep, right? Don’t worry, we should trust Ruyan!” Ji Yaoyue comforted.
However, Ji Wushuang only nodded weakly upon hearing these words.
“Begin!”
With Situ Wuya’s commanding shout, he formed hand seals rapidly, activating his mid-grade treasure artifact—the Glazed Seven-Treasure Pool!
Immediately, the treasure pool expanded greatly, and waves of majestic three-colored profound light surged from within.
The stunningly beautiful Liu Ruyan flashed and plunged into the treasure pool!
Soon, screams of agony echoed from within.
“Crack! Crack!…”
It was the sound of bones breaking.
The sound made everyone’s hair stand on end!
Even though the Glazed Seven-Treasure Pool was far more prestigious than the Grand Righteous Sword Sect’s Purification Pool, the process of melting the body and reshaping it with the Three Lights Divine Water was still extremely dangerous.
Any slight error would result in death!
Time passed slowly.
After three hours.
“Boom!…”
A breathtaking figure leaped out from the Glazed Seven-Treasure Pool, her white dress fluttering, her figure alluring and exquisite. It was none other than Liu Ruyan.
Her entire skin had become crystal clear, like the purest white jade, her temperament noble and aloof, her snow-white swan neck held high, exuding an air of proud arrogance!
“She succeeded! 9th stage Innate Realm perfected? Perfect and flawless… Ruyan, my disciple, you truly are exceptional!”
Elder Qingxia was overjoyed and extremely excited!
She could feel that Liu Ruyan’s physique seemed to have undergone a transformative leap!
She could now truly be called a heavenly prodigy!
“Today, I, Liu Ruyan, will reform my Golden Core!”
Liu Ruyan declared firmly, then sat cross-legged and began cultivating!
Soon!
Above the Grand Righteous Sword Sect, the sky changed, and celestial phenomena emerged!
Two days later.
With a delicate shout from Liu Ruyan, a dazzling seven-colored light erupted above her head, radiant and dazzling!
She successfully broke through to the 1st stage Golden Core Realm and condensed a 7th Grade Golden Core!
“1st stage Water-type 7th Grade Golden Core!”
Someone exclaimed, shocked beyond words!
To know that even among the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates, most Holy Sons and Saintesses only condensed 6th Grade Golden Cores during their breakthroughs. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping . com.
Yet Liu Ruyan, relying on her talent and fortune, condensed a 7th Grade Golden Core!
Such a stunningly talented woman was truly rare in the world!
Everyone was stirred, rushing over.
Even Sect Master Li Yinglian arrived, smiling broadly, praising her three times in a row.
What shocked everyone even more was that Elder Chi Xuzi publicly proposed to appoint Liu Ruyan as the Saintess of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect!
Li Yinglian pondered for a moment, then solemnly said, “Ruyan indeed has the qualifications! However, this matter is of great importance… I will need to discuss it with the other elders before making the final decision!”
Such a reply was already an implicit confirmation.
Liu Ruyan becoming the Saintess of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect only lacked a formal sect meeting.
For a moment, everyone’s gaze towards Liu Ruyan changed…
“Wushuang, my junior brother, thank you for your strong support behind me!”
Liu Ruyan looked at Ji Wushuang and bowed slightly, her posture graceful and elegant.
Seeing this, the male disciples all felt parched, wishing they could become Liu Ruyan’s confidant and share her company!
“Senior Sister Wushuang flatters me. I only did what a Holy Son should do!” Ji Wushuang replied casually, as if it were nothing.
Liu Ruyan’s slender, beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she chuckled, “I wonder, what expression would Chen Xuan have when he learns I have restored my purity? It must be quite a sight, right?”
Everyone immediately joined in mocking Chen Xuan!
Without comparison, there was no harm!
Holy Son Ji Wushuang was as handsome as jade, immensely talented, and had the appearance of an immortal!
Chen Xuan, that crippled Holy Son… was not even worthy to be compared!
Ji Yaoyue stepped forward, warmly taking Liu Ruyan’s jade hand, asking about her well-being repeatedly.
Finally, she sighed, “I truly hope the sect can make a swift decision! If Ruyan becomes the Saintess, she could cultivate together with Wushuang the sect’s only divine sword art—Dual Sword Harmony!”
Boom!
Upon hearing this.
Everyone present was shocked, then looked at Ji Wushuang and Liu Ruyan with envy!
In the crowd, Zhao Caiyue, Shen Qingqing, Bai Ling, and Mu Xueyuan all looked embarrassed, their expressions filled with anger, as if their beloved was about to be taken away…
In their hearts, the same thought arose: “Chen Xuan, you beast! It’s all your fault! So what if you were cuckolded? Why are you cancelling the engagement? Bastard!…”
