153 The Truth Was Revealed

“The next place we’re going to is the Heavenly Star Institute,” said Xin Yu.

Zhou Yun’s brows twitched. He remembered that even though the Heavenly Star Institute was mysterious, it could be said to be the strongest among the five sects. It was only because their numbers were too small, their sect was remote, and other factors that they were ranked second among the five sects.

Among the five sects, the one sect that Zhou Yun was least worried about being attacked by the flood of spiritual corpses and the remnant souls and corpses was definitely the Heavenly Star Institute!

But now, Xin Yu said that she wanted to go to the Heavenly Star Institute first. Why was that so? Shouldn’t he first go and help the weakest Autumn Path School, then slowly save the five sects until everyone was saved? Only when his reputation reached the highest point could he complete the quest of becoming the world savior.

“There’s no need for that. If those people die, then so be it. Anyway, you’re enough for now.” Xin Yu said indifferently. After seeing Zhou Yun’s terrifying and monstrous talent, her plans seemed to have changed again and again as Zhou Yun continued to grow stronger!

However, Xin Yu didn’t dislike the way her plans kept changing. She even wanted more of these changes!

“The Heavenly Star Institute, what’s there?” Zhou Yun did not refute Xin Yu’s words. He wasn’t a Saint either. He wasn’t really putting himself in the shoes of a world savior to refute Xin Yu. Now, he just wanted to survive in the hands of this nascent soul grand cultivator who had an unpredictable mood!

“The finish line. That is where they will meet their end. It’s also the end of my great plan,” Xin Yu said without hiding anything. She looked at Zhou Yun and could not help but continue, “Although I hope that you can break through to the golden core stage now so that I can tell you everything about my plan, I’m reluctant to let you go after seeing your performance just now. It’s such a waste for a genius like you to break through just like that.”

When Zhou Yun heard Xin Yu’s words, he remained silent. Having seen the tragedy of Jian Xin and Su Lingyun, he would not believe Xin Yu’s words easily. Furthermore, when Xin Yu said those words, Zhou Yun could acutely sense a thread of possessiveness scanning his body!

Was it Xin Yu? Did she want to take over his body? No, if Xin Yu wanted to possess him, she would have done so long ago. She wouldn’t have waited until now! What was the reason for that? Zhou Yun was frantically thinking in his mind.

But in the end, he could only give up thinking. Without Xin Yu spilling the beans, Zhou Yun could not understand the plan that she had been plotting for a thousand years!

“Buzz.” Zhou Yun felt a vibration in his chest. He sent his consciousness over and found that it was the sword seed cultivation heart.

In the Dao Questioning Sword, the sword seed cultivation heart had been absorbed by the sword spirit, allowing Zhou Yun to execute that heaven-shaking sword strike that could draw upon the great momentum of heaven and earth!

That strike was simply too terrifying. Even Ling Qingyun was unable to wield it. It was to the point that Zhou Yun even thought that his sword seed cultivation heart had turned into fuel and was used up by the sword spirit. He didn’t expect that the sword seed cultivation heart would actually come back!

Zhou Yun even felt that his sword seed cultivation heart had become larger and purer!

“I didn’t expect to have such an unexpected harvest! This time, not only did my sword seed cultivation heart and sword spirit not suffer any damage, but the two of them complemented each other and resonated with each other, becoming even stronger!” Zhou Yun’s gaze shifted from the sword seed cultivation heart to the sword spirit. After spitting out the sword seed cultivation heart, the sword spirit’s body didn’t shrink!

Zhou Yun was overjoyed! This meant that he could save years or even decades of accumulation!

“Even if I have the Enlightenment System, this kind of sword seed cultivation heart and sword spirit that requires the accumulation of time can only be allowed to form naturally. There is no shortcut to it! I didn’t expect that I would accidentally speed up their growth!” Zhou Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that the risk was worth it!

“Even if I use the Dao Questioning Sword casually, as long as I have enough spiritual energy and I don’t go crazy, the sword seed cultivation heart and sword spirit will not be damaged!” Zhou Yun recalled the Dao Questioning Sword move he had just used. He was confident that he could even fight against a late-stage golden core cultivator!

Although it was possible that due to the difference in their cultivation levels, all of his attacks were dodged by his opponent, Zhou Yun finally had something that could be considered a real killer move. As long as he caught them off guard, Zhou Yun could kill anyone in the world!

“Other than this person…” Zhou Yun calmed his heart. Being able to kill a late-stage or even perfected golden core cultivator did not mean that he had the confidence to challenge a nascent soul cultivator like Xin Yu!

“I still need to become stronger! This is the only way to survive!” Zhou Yun’s joy of growing up was suppressed. He calmed his heart and continued his cultivation. He had to admit that with Xin Yu’s shadow on him, Zhou Yun was constantly thinking of becoming stronger!

Even when he had first entered Spirit Valley, he had not cultivated so hard!

When Xin Yu saw that Zhou Yun had no intention of asking further, she did not say anything else. She simply brought Zhou Yun and Qiao’er along and flew towards the Heavenly Star Institute.

“If I remember correctly, the Heavenly Star Institute is made up of remnant disciples of another Holy Land apart from the Divine Gate. The heavens and earth in this ghastly place are incomplete. It is no wonder that they became dull and brutal. After all, with the heavenly stars and myriad manifestations being revealed, how could a sect that cultivates them not go crazy?” Xin Yu looked at the sky. At this moment, the sky was dark and the air suddenly became cold. It was the time of the demon encounter, and the world was in a state of half-day and half-night.

At this moment, countless stars slowly appeared, lighting up the sky. Xin Yu only shook her head. The stars in the sky were uglier than any sky she had ever seen!

“Sect Leader Ling Qingyun, you told us to gather all the disciples of the five sects here to resist the spiritual corpse tide and the thousand-year disaster. But it seems like that’s not the case,” the sect leader of the Autumn Path School said seriously.

“Sect Leader Ling Qingyun, we didn’t bring any of our original sect’s disciples or elders here just as you’ve decided. Please have mercy on them and treat them as the last remaining seeds. The seed that will allow our five sects to survive,” the sect leader of the Myriad Flower School said.

At this moment, on the peak of a mountain, Ling Qingyun was staring at the clouds in the distance in silence. Beside Ling Qingyun were the elders and disciples of Spirit Valley who had disappeared.

Behind Ling Qingyun, the sect leaders of the other five sects didn’t even have the time to make any adjustments before they immediately came out with their elders and elite disciples!

This time, there were as many as 9000 foundation establishment disciples! However, there were only two hundred golden core elders, which was less than the number of golden core disciples who had attacked the heretic cultivators earlier!

“This is the Heavenly Star Institute’s forbidden ground. I’m very curious as to how Sect Leader Ling Qingyun knew about this place and gathered everyone here.” After a long time, the Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader, who had not spoken much and had no expression on his face, spoke.

“This is the highest point in this world. It’s also the closest to that place.” Ling Qingyun’s sudden words left all the sect leaders scratching their heads.
