“How did you encounter the army of ant monsters?” Compared to that, Ming Xuan was more concerned about this issue…
“When we entered, we were in the desert. Ming Yue found a teleportation array, so the four of us came over. As soon as we arrived, we were faced with a horde of ant monsters. Moreover, there is no teleportation array here that can take us back!” Ming Kang said with lingering fear.
“Ant monsters are not supposed to appear in a spiritually abundant secret realm. But now, not only have they appeared, but they also attacked cultivators. There must be something strange here, right?” Yun Ge looked at Ming Xuan, whose complexion wasn’t great. Although she was in the Foundation Establishment stage, the next sect master of Yunfu Sect was determined, and it wasn’t her. So, the possibility of the incident targeting the next sect master of Tongyi Sect was much greater than targeting her.
Seeing Ming Xuan’s expression, Yun Ge knew he had figured it out.
“Senior Brother, it must be Second Senior Brother’s doing! The four of us are the most loyal supporters of Senior Brother, so he wants to eliminate us together!” Ming Kang said angrily.
“Ming Lang doesn’t have the ability to bring so many ant monsters into the secret realm. The situation here is more complicated than you think,” Ming Xuan’s face had calmed down, analyzing the situation.
“…” Well, don’t you think it’s even scarier that the so-called Ming Lang can’t bring so many ant monsters in?
“Spirit cultivators can’t enter, and they can’t accomplish such a large-scale crossing with non-spiritual creatures, especially creatures like ant monsters that naturally clash with spiritual cultivation,” Yun Ge said. “Besides…”
“Demon cultivators!” Yun Ge and Ming Xuan said simultaneously.
“Really?” Ming Kang and the remaining three disciples’ faces turned pale. The enmity between spiritual and demon cultivators had lasted for centuries. If it weren’t for the ancestor of spiritual cultivation being valiant a thousand years ago, with the demon cultivators’ extraordinary talent, spiritual cultivation might not exist today.
“Besides demon cultivators, it’s impossible for devil cultivators, sword cultivators can’t achieve such a large-scale crossing either,” Yun Ge, who had studied the background of this world thoroughly, said. When she first arrived in this world and found that it differed from the cultivation novels she had read before, she had to learn a lot about this world to survive.
“Then what about Buddhist cultivators?” Ming Kang asked when Yun Ge analyzed spiritual, demon, devil, and sword cultivators but didn’t mention Buddhist cultivators.
“…” Yun Ge found it strange. Did the disciples of Tongyi Sect have such poor “knowledge”? “The only record of Buddhist cultivators is that they have extraordinary talents, but they are virtuous and possess a pure heart of goodness.” There were no specific records of their extraordinary talents or how they cultivated, but phrases like ‘virtuous person’ and ‘pure heart of goodness’ were emphasized.
When Yun Ge first read it, she thought it was ridiculous. This was just an alternative portrayal of a meat-eating Tang Monk! The rhythm of the naive golden boy in the bustling market! No wonder that Buddhist cultivator from hundreds of years ago appeared once and was never heard from again; he must have been devoured by someone!
“Senior Sister?” Ming Kang realized he asked a stupid question.
“We are now in a location where the ant monsters did not follow. It’s not because we abandoned them; they are sensitive to aura and can track us for hundreds of miles. The fact that they didn’t follow means there’s something here that even they fear!” Ming Xuan interrupted Ming Kang and said to Yun Ge, “This time, I’ve implicated you.”
Yun Ge nodded in her heart. Yes, she, a senior disciple of Yunfu Sect with no authority, couldn’t possibly be the target of demon cultivators. It’s definitely that you’ve implicated me! But she couldn’t say that aloud. The nerves of the six people were tense as they walked on unknown dry leaves that creaked.
Yun Ge felt that the environment around her was gradually changing, and when she turned around, the several people who were originally behind her were gone!
Yun Ge was surprised, but she didn’t show any fear on her face. “Senior, can you come out now?”
“Heh, average cultivation but very sensitive…” Accompanying a male voice was five or six cultivators wearing costumes from various sects.
“So what? Senior’s cultivation is high, but unfortunately, only at the Yuan Ying stage here…” Yun Ge reacted quickly and sarcastically said, as if her Foundation Establishment cultivation could look down on the Yuan Ying stage!
“You!!!” One of the female cultivators was obviously angered.
“Hua Jing.” The one who spoke first, obviously the leader, said, “Focus on the important matters.”
“…” Yun Ge now understood that their goal wasn’t really Ming Xuan but her. Yun Ge thought about all the places she had been since she came to the cultivation world until now, trying to figure out what attracted the attention of the demon world. She realized she had gained nothing. In theory, she was just a slightly talented cultivator. Even though she became famous at a young age, being a female cultivator in this cultivation world was somewhat discriminatory, although she hadn’t experienced it. When she first learned about it, she cursed the author of this story in her heart but later realized that this was the style of the female strong novel from DDT. The purpose was to slap people in the face, and she came to terms with it. However, in this situation, why would demon cultivators trouble her, and why use such a complicated method?
Yun Ge pondered for a while but still couldn’t figure out the reason. On the other side, the fake cultivators observing Yun Ge couldn’t bear it any longer.
Originally, they thought Yun Ge would be frightened and try to escape from their encirclement. Unexpectedly, Yun Ge not only didn’t run away but also didn’t ask any questions. She just stood there, seemingly lost in thought.
“Aren’t you going to run?” the one who looked ordinary and couldn’t be singled out from the crowd, obviously the leader, asked.
“Although your cultivations have been severely crushed once, it seems I can’t escape your surveillance,” Yun Ge chuckled. The level difference was too big, and besides, these demon cultivators were all in the Yuan Ying stage. Yun Ge didn’t think running would be of any use.
“Smart.” The leader, satisfied with Yun Ge’s reaction, asked, “Let me ask you, do you have a pure Yin body of the Nine Yin Absolute Veins with you?”
Yun Ge understood now. It turned out their purpose wasn’t Ming Xuan at all; it was her. Yun Ge thought about her journey from the mortal world to the cultivation world until now, trying to figure out what attracted the attention of the demon world. She realized she had gained nothing. In theory, she was just a slightly talented cultivator. Even though she became famous at a young age, being a female cultivator in this cultivation world was somewhat discriminatory, although she hadn’t experienced it. When she first learned about it, she cursed the author of this story in her heart but later
realized that this was the style of the female strong novel from DDT. The purpose was to slap people in the face, and she came to terms with it. However, in this situation, why would demon cultivators trouble her, and why use such a complicated method?

Yun Ge understood now. It turned out their purpose wasn’t Ming Xuan at all; it was her.
At that moment, the final information transmitted back by the spiritual consciousness was just one sentence, “Yunfu Gate’s senior disciple, Yun Ge…”
The speculation among the crowd was that the demonic spirit’s avatar had found a Buddhist cultivator. However, for some reason, it was annihilated by a spiritual cultivator, and in the end, it desperately transmitted this crucial message.
Upon seeing Yun Ge, several people immediately knew that it couldn’t be Yun Ge who had eliminated the demonic spirit’s avatar; Yun Ge didn’t possess that capability!
“No.” Yun Ge didn’t hesitate at all. “Yunfu Gate does not accept pure Yin bodies. To be precise, neither do the major sects in the entire cultivation world accept pure Yin bodies as disciples.” Yun Ge spoke the truth, but her own disciple was an exception. The reason for not accepting pure Yin bodies was simple—it could easily lead to major disturbances. There was once a medium-sized sect that accepted a pure Yin cultivator as an inner disciple.
Although the woman was talented and built her foundation in just thirty years, she encountered trouble just before reaching the Nascent Soul stage. An elder from a larger sect saw the benefits of dual cultivation with a pure Yin body and sent someone to invite her.
However, it turned out that he wasn’t the only one interested. As pure Yin cultivators were scarce, someone else had already made a move. Not only did they snatch the female cultivator away, but they also leaked her Yuan Yin. This led to a conflict between several major sects, all because of a pure Yin cultivator. The most ridiculous part was that the female cultivator already had a lover—the young sect leader of the sect that had just taken over. She was betrayed by her lover, leading to her self-destruction. Consequently, that sect became cannon fodder in the conflicts between the major sects. In short, it was a convoluted and melodramatic story.
That was also the reason why most sects didn’t accept pure Yin bodies. Initially, when Yun Ge didn’t know that her disciple couldn’t cultivate Qi, those who had seen her disciple couldn’t tell that she couldn’t cultivate Qi either. Later, when Elder Lian confirmed that her disciple couldn’t cultivate Qi, no one paid further attention. As a result, many people knew that Yun Ge had a useless disciple, but they didn’t know that Yun Ge’s useless disciple was a pure Yin body with the Nine Yin Absolute Veins.
“How is that possible?” The female cultivator, with a fiery temper, attacked upon hearing Yun Ge’s answer.
Countless withered vines attacked Yun Ge, but she remained calm. Even though the cultivation level of these demonic cultivators was at the Yuan Infant stage, she couldn’t escape, but fighting was a different story. The restrictions in the small realm prohibited Yuan Infant stage cultivators from fighting. However, Yun Ge could unleash her full strength without any hesitation!
As Yun Ge’s sword emerged, spiritual energy flowed and rotated around her. Sword qi crisscrossed, forming numerous sharp and fierce sword energies that directly confronted the aggressive vines in the sky.
“Swish, swish, swish…” Yun Ge retracted her sword, and all the vines had already fallen.
“You’ve got some skills.” The man who seemed to be the leader smiled. “It seems you fully understand our background.”
Yun Ge didn’t deny it. “Of course, only demonic cultivators could introduce so many man-eating ants across realms and use the small realm to eliminate spiritual cultivators. I can’t think of any other explanation.”
“The original body appreciates your intelligence. As clever as you are, you should understand that our efforts to come here won’t be in vain. Now, let me ask you one last time: do you know a pure Yin body?” The leader seemed to genuinely appreciate Yun Ge’s intelligence. Achieving the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age was something even demonic cultivators found challenging. Another reason for his appreciation was Yun Ge’s composed attitude. When facing demonic cultivators, especially female cultivators, they would usually be terrified, but Yun Ge’s calm demeanor made her stand out.
“Well, the result might be a bit disappointing. I haven’t seen one.” Yun Ge shrugged. In her mind, she was planning how to escape. She didn’t run at their first encounter because these people were obviously on guard against her fleeing. Now, they could see that she had no intention of running away, making the chances of a successful escape slightly higher.
“In that case, there’s nothing the original body can do, except…” Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that the person in front of him had disappeared! Yes, disappeared!
Yun Ge used a teleportation array she had made during her time at the Yunfu Gate. It could only teleport one person, and the range wasn’t far, so she hadn’t used it when facing the man-eating ants. But now, it was the perfect moment!
“How is this possible?” The demonic cultivators were dumbfounded.
“She must know a Buddhist cultivator! How else could a spiritual cultivator use a teleportation array from outside the realm in the small realm!” The leader gnashed his teeth. He hadn’t expected the spiritual cultivator to have a trump card! “Chase her! She can’t have gone far!” Even if she did manage to escape far, it didn’t matter. They controlled the entire small realm, and she had nowhere to run!
“How did you encounter the army of ant monsters?” Compared to that, Ming Xuan was more concerned about this issue…
“When we entered, we were in the desert. Ming Yue found a teleportation array, so the four of us came over. As soon as we arrived, we were faced with a horde of ant monsters. Moreover, there is no teleportation array here that can take us back!” Ming Kang said with lingering fear.
