131 The Grand Elder of the Soul Guide Sect
Seeing Zhou Yun nod, Meng Yuxin didn’t say anything else. She continued to control the skeletal throne to slowly come to a stop.
At this moment, Zhou Yun looked forward and realized that the scenery in front of him had suddenly changed.
The spiritually deprived ground was a place that had no spiritual energy and had been abandoned by cultivators for thousands of years. But now, a thousand years had passed.
Without the support of spiritual energy, the spiritual weapons would be worn down over time and eventually lose their spiritual Qi. What more an immortal sect that had no one protecting it?
Along the way, there were no signs of immortal cultivation. From sects and cultivators to the spiritual energy in the barren mountains, there was no sign of them at all.
It seemed that other than the Soul Guide Sect cultivators at the very beginning, the entire spiritually deprived ground had really become an ordinary world. Things like cultivators were like fantasies, they didn’t exist in this world.
Zhou Yun could not help but feel his spirit being attacked. The scene of the spiritually deprived ground and cultivators being completely cut off made him feel even more desolate than when he had just come out of Spirit Valley!
After a few hours of flight, he had seen the remote mountains and the countless mortals in the bustling cities. If it wasn’t for the fact that he could feel the spiritual energy in his body and the power of his Saint Fire Body… Zhou Yun had thought that everything he had done earlier was a dream. He looked at the scenery in front of him as if he had come to an ordinary city in the countryside from his previous life!
“Desolation, extinction. This is a dead land. For the past thousand years, other than the five sects’ disciples guarding this place, it’s as if the world has abandoned this place, and it’s always been in an unremarkable corner.” Zhou Yun murmured. He had been thinking the same thing just now.
After Meng Yuxin stopped the skeletal throne, the throne seemed to have entered a large array. The scenery around it changed, and the shocking scene in front of it left him in shock!
The thousand-year-old sect in the spiritually deprived ground stood tall, towering into the sky. From the huge entrance, one could see the many peaks behind it. Each one was wrapped in a faint spiritual mist, which was extremely eye-catching!
What shocked Zhou Yun the most was the peak floating in the center of all the mountains. It was extremely eye-catching, as if it was surrounded by everything else!
“How many spiritual stones are required to make a mountain float in the air for a thousand years?” Zhou Yun wondered. He didn’t dare to imagine that, because even the Spirit Valley sect leader’s hall, which was an upright sect of the five sects, was rooted in the ground and didn’t move at all.
Just how rich was the Soul Guide Sect to enable a mountain to float for a thousand years?
“The place I’m going to is up there. As for you, Zhou Yun, you’ll have to deal with the Grand Elders on the ten side peaks. Don’t worry, they’re only at the early-stage golden core at most. They’ll be easy to deal with.” Meng Yuxin said slowly as she saw the scene in front of her again.
Zhou Yun noticed that beside the floating mountain, the ten other mountains were larger than ordinary mountains. Furthermore, each of the mountains had a different color.
“The seven emotions and six desires. Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire, life, death, ears, eyes, mouth, nose. Originally, there were 13 of them, but many of them had died. Now, the Grand Elder only has seven emotions and three desires. Well, although they are all good cultivators who devoted themselves to practicing the art of pulling out tendons, skinning, and refining bones, they are all a group of idiots who had been in a daze for a thousand years. He’s still very easy to deal with.” Meng Yuxin said, waving her hand. To be able to be tricked by her into staying in this godforsaken place for a thousand years, the upper limit of such a disciple was not high!
Meng Yuxin believed that the so-called heretic cultivators were people who killed their parents and plotted against each other while happily discussing the existence of the heretic cultivation path.
A thousand years had passed, and in the entire Soul Guide Sect, only the right protector dared to disobey her orders! Although she was the sect leader, she had to admit that the Soul Guide Sect was a failure!
The real heretic cultivators would have already roared and waved the scythe in their hands the moment she died. They would have killed the entire family of the strong competitors at the first opportunity and then fought for her position as the sect master!
However, she did not expect that the so-called Soul Guide Sect would become this place where the right protector had the ultimate say. In the end, there was still no change after a thousand years.
“That’s why I’m relieved. Don’t worry and just kill them. I’ll give you a reward when the time comes. Hmm, as long as you can stop them from approaching that place, I’ll tell you a little about my great plan.” Meng Yuxin pointed at the floating mountain in the sky.
Zhou Yun’s eyes lit up. He didn’t have a choice in the first place, and now he had a chance to learn about Meng Yuxin’s plan! Zhou Yun made up his mind. He had to seize this opportunity!
He had no choice. Ever since Zhou Yun had come out of the Spirit Valley, he had been forced to participate in this thousand-year plan with an unknown objective. If not for his desire to live outweighing his curiosity, Zhou Yun would have long broken through to the golden core stage in exchange for information.
Meng Yuxin waved her hand at Qiao’er, and Qiao’er, who was beside Zhou Yun, floated up. Qiao’er was shocked, and she quickly grabbed Zhou Yun’s shoulder.
“I will temporarily keep her safe. Don’t waste the jade slip I gave you. With your talent, you should be able to completely comprehend it. If you can’t even deal with ten people, then how can you be qualified to listen to my great plan?” Meng Yuxin extended her hand again, and Qiao’er’s body stiffened. Meng Yuxin waved and she flew over.
Zhou Yun looked at Qiao’er and then at Meng Yuxin. He didn’t have any chance to fight back, so he could only look at the ten peaks. If he could kill the ten Grand Elders of the Soul Guide Sect, he would be able to save Qiao’er!
Zhou Yun nodded to show that he understood. Meng Yuxin didn’t say anything else. She took Qiao’er and flew toward the floating mountain. With a push, Zhou Yun was pushed out of the skeletal throne.
“Swish!” Zhou Yun used his air control technique and slowly landed on the first mountain peak where the Grand Supreme elder was.
Zhou Yun had once heard of the seven emotions and six desires in the ancient books of the Spirit Valley. Each of them corresponded to the weakness of a cultivator’s cultivation heart.
According to Heavenly Star Institute’s extreme cultivation method, if a cultivator couldn’t get rid of their seven emotions and six desires, then their cultivation heart would be influenced by the emotions of mortals, and they would eventually be stuck in the foundation establishment stage forever.
As a result, the golden core cultivators of the Heavenly Star Institute were all emotionless weirdos.
“The seven emotions and six desires recorded in the Spirit Valley are more like the 13 typical inner demons. When you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation or encounter some major event in life, you will have demonic thoughts in your heart and disturb your cultivation.” Zhou Yun carefully observed the first mountain he landed on.
Cultivators who could use the seven emotions and six desires as representatives were definitely not easy to deal with. Moreover, the cultivation of these Grand Elders was unknown a thousand years ago. Even though he was only at the early-stage golden core, he still had his experience.
Zhou Yun had to face the Grand Elder, who was even more powerful than ordinary golden core cultivators!
