Chapter 51: Breakthrough at the Profound Pill Sect

At this moment, the members of the Profound Dan Sect, who had been kneeling all over the ground, cautiously stood up.

"Ji Jiuyou! Sect Master Ye was just speaking to you!" Bai Feng said with a face full of disbelief, having just been suppressed by the Nascent Soul pressure to the point where even breathing was difficult.

"Jiuyou, do you... do you know Sect Master Ye of the Great Dao Sect?" Gu Ya also wore a look of utter disbelief, finding it nearly impossible to believe this was real.

As for the other disciples, every single one of them looked excited!

Regardless of whatever trickery might be involved behind the scenes, being able to enter the Great Dao Sect at this moment was a tremendous stroke of fortune!

"Let's go inside first before talking," Ji Qingyou shook her head, too lazy to explain to them.

She took the lead and walked into the Great Dao Sect.

In the eyes of those behind her, this Ji Jiuyou seemed to be shrouded in an aura of mystery.

Great Dao Sect, Sermon Platform.

As Ye Zhentian personally led the members of the Profound Dan Sect inside,

the seated members of the Vajra Sect, Heavenly Emperor Sect, and others grew even more displeased!

As a dignified Great Dao Sect, did they have any rules left?

A mere one-star minor sect, how could they dare to share the same space with them?

Stared at by so many gazes, including those at the Nascent Soul stage, even Sect Master Bei Hanyan felt somewhat uneasy.

Gu Ya, meanwhile, subconsciously hugged Ji Qingyou's arm tighter.

The only one who still appeared somewhat composed was Bai Feng, who forced himself to lift his chin and puff out his chest.

As for Ji Qingyou, her gaze fell upon an inconspicuous corner, where she saw her master, Lin Jun, "nodding and smiling" at her, as if offering encouragement.

Ji Qingyou instantly felt a warmth in her heart.

Under Ye Zhentian's arrangement, the crowd from the Profound Dan Sect was assigned a spot right in front of the Vajra Sect and the Heavenly Emperor Sect, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with a group of observing little animals—undoubtedly the best seats available.

However, being watched by the murderous glares of those behind them was truly uncomfortable. Aside from Ji Qingyou, it made every seated member of the Profound Dan Sect feel as though they were sitting on pins and needles.

Yet Ye Zhentian cared nothing for such matters. Upon learning that his "Junior Sister" was sitting in the audience, he began expounding on the Dao with even greater vigor!

"Woof woof woof woof..."

Immediately, the group of small animals beside them once again sank into a world of cultivation, while the members of the Profound Dan Sect, who had managed to secure these seats with great difficulty...

...appeared entirely dazed.

Seeing how pitiful they looked, utterly unable to understand a single word Ye Zhentian was saying,

Ji Qingyou couldn't help but explain: "Listen to the rhythm, listen to the way it barks, don't listen to what is actually being said."

Hearing this, the members of the Profound Dan Sect suddenly wore expressions of sudden realization.

They closed their eyes tightly, and the auras around several of them instantly began to rise!

Faint signs of a breakthrough were already emerging!

As for those sitting further back, they were not nearly so fortunate. Especially the Vajra Sect, the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and the others—having zero experience in interacting with Ye Zhentian,

they simply could not understand what any of it meant!

To their ears, it was entirely an unlistenable, grating series of dog barks!

Yet to the ears of the Profound Dan Sect members, it was a completely different story.

Guided by Ji Qingyou, one Profound Dan Sect disciple after another felt their auras gradually shift amidst Ye Zhentian's cadenced cadence.

Several ordinary Qi Condensation disciples miraculously broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage right in the middle of Ye Zhentian's sermon!

Especially the senior disciple with the Thunder Spiritual Root, Bai Feng. Accompanied by Ye Zhentian's lecturing, brilliant multicolored radiances continuously expanded around him, actually showing signs of "Core Formation"!

Meanwhile, Great Elder Huang Li and the others who had previously made things difficult for Ji Qingyou also wore looks of sudden enlightenment, their auras changing one after another as they displayed the auspicious phenomena of Core Formation!

The most prominent among them was Gu Ya, sitting right beside Ji Qingyou. Lost in a hazy, chaotic state during Ye Zhentian's sermon, spiritual light continuously burst forth from her body,

and before anyone knew when, she had already successfully completed her Core Formation!

Shortly thereafter, Bai Feng, Huang Li, and the others successively broke through as well, each radiating the aura of the Golden Core realm, their strengths elevated by far more than just a notch!

At the same time, the cluster of small animals nearby—the little rabbit, the little fox, the little wild boar, and the rest—who had accompanied Ye Zhentian's sermon from beginning to end, also began to emit an aura resembling Foundation Establishment,

yet entirely different from that of humankind.

It was a truly wondrous sight to behold!

"Junior Brother Jiuyou." At some unknown moment, Bai Feng had completed his breakthrough and approached Ji Qingyou with a beaming smile, testing the waters with his words,

"What exactly is your relationship with Sect Master Ye?"

Ji Qingyou was deep into her own cultivation of the Divine Separation and Thought Transformation technique when she was rudely awakened by him, a flash of displeasure crossing her eyes.

"What business is it of you?"

"It's like this." Bai Feng didn't feel the least bit awkward. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Look, I possess the one-in-a-century 'Thunder Spiritual Root,' and now I've broken through to the Golden Core realm at a young age. I can well be considered a top-tier young talent of the Southern Wasteland.

I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Sect Master Ye, but if you can help me become Sect Master Ye's disciple, there will certainly be no shortage of benefits for you in the future."

Saying this, seeing the look of disgust in Ji Qingyou's eyes, he didn't get angry; instead, he said with absolute confidence, "Junior Brother Jiuyou, don't be arrogant. Although you possess the superior 'Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root,' your background is humble. When it comes to worldly dealings and cultivation resources, you are far inferior to me in the realm of immortality."

"If you don't find a powerful backer to look after you, who knows when you might die a mysterious death? I'm not threatening you, Junior Brother Jiuyou, but you'd better think it through carefully."

As he spoke, Bai Feng's tone already carried a hint of covert threat.

"Get lost!" Ji Qingyou couldn't be bothered to spare him even a glance. Only the trash of the cultivation world would engage in such foul-smelling, collusive schemes.

Rebuked so harshly, Bai Feng's expression shifted instantly. Yet, in such a public setting, he didn't say anything further. Instead, he shot her a cold, sneering look before disappearing.

Hiding in the corner, Lin Jun watched the scene of a puppy giving a sermon and found it rather amusing.

However, the members of the Vajra Sect, the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and others sitting in the audience—who had been utterly unable to understand Ye Zhentian's voice from start to finish—could finally no longer restrain themselves and stood up.

Both of these sects were two-star sects of the Southern Wasteland, though to call them sects was rather inaccurate; they were actually more akin to religious organizations. Furthermore, their visit this time was not entirely for the purpose of listening to a sermon.

At this moment, Ye Zhentian's endless barking provided them with an excellent pretext to make trouble!

"May I ask, Sect Master Ye, what on earth are you blabbering about! To make fools of us with the body of an untransformed beast, do you not fear the retribution of my Buddha!"

The one who stood up was the Sect Master of the Vajra Sect. Dressed in a simple monastic robe and glaring fiercely at Ye Zhentian upon the platform, he unleashed the full aura of a Great Circle Golden Core, clutching a string of golden prayer beads that clearly emanated the aura of an extraordinary magical treasure.

"Man is born with sin. As the dignified master of the Great Dao Sect, I originally thought you intended to use the name of a sermon to redeem your sins before the Emperor. Never did I expect you to remain so stubbornly unrepentant!

To string us along from beginning to end with a bunch of dog barks is truly heartbreaking to us!"

Another individual stood up—the Sect Master of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, clad in white robes, wearing an expression of profound grief and indignation.

"Woof?" Ye Zhentian, who had been lecturing with great enthusiasm on the platform, was instantly dumbfounded. Never in its wildest dreams had it expected such a turn of events.

It cast a puzzled gaze toward its left and right protectors, only to find looks of sheer bewilderment in their eyes as well.

We can all understand what the Sect Master means, right? Could there actually be people who don't understand the Sect Master's speech?
