Chapter 74 - Improving Cultivation Base (Part Two)
The Fiend Temple’s influence had been expanding in recent years. Many elites had joined its ranks as well. Currently, it was like a tiger that had sprouted wings.
Previously, Si Wuya had heard that Ren Buping, the Master of Fiend Temple, had gone into seclusion to cultivate. Occasionally, there would be news about the huge improvements that Ren Buping made, but he had never been able to verify the news. The growth in the Fiend Temple’s influence had affected the Darknet and especially, the Nether Sect. For this reason, he had placed a spy near Ren Buping to keep an eye on Ren Buping’s every move.
Ren Buping was not the only one who was cultivating in seclusion. The Temple of Great Emptiness’ Kong Yuan, Luo Xingkong, the former Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Confucian School’s elite, Chang Xian, who had failed to take down Golden Court Mountain, had all gone into seclusion to cultivate in hopes of achieving a breakthrough in their cultivation bases. However, none of them had shown any signs of a breakthrough thus far.
Si Wuya thought to himself, ‘If Ren Buping has a breakthrough in his cultivation base, what is he going to do? Is he going to expand the influence of the Fiend Temple or will he seek revenge from the Evil Sky Pavilion?’ He turned to Zhu Honggong and asked, “Old Eighth, what are you thinking about?”
Zhu Honggong mulled over all the possibilities before he said, “I’m just thinking if the senior Buddhist monk who cast the hand seal for the Great Vajra Wheel is master’s ally.”
“Master never liked to ally himself with others. However, times are different now. It’s not entirely impossible for master to do something like that. After all, there seems to be a new addition to the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
Zhu Honggong’s eyes brightened. “Master has accepted another disciple?”
“I wouldn’t say that person’s a disciple. He’s more like a… staff. Apart from that, the Golden Court Mountain’s barrier has been restored even though the reason for that is unclear. As for the other matters, let’s wait until he has exhausted his allocated lifespan.”
“Ding! Disciplining Zhao Yue. Obtained 100 merit points. Loyalty: +5%.”
…
Mingshi Yin came outside. He cast a suspicious look in the direction where the noise had come from. It was the Evil Sky Pavilion. Although the Primal Qi’s resonance was subtle, he managed to sense as soon as it sounded. “Someone’s connecting meridians in the Evil Sky Pavilion? How did a Brahman Sea cultivator get into Golden Court Mountain?” He was puzzled. The Evil Sky Pavilion was not a place where scoundrels were allowed to run rampant. “You’ve got balls coming here. I’ll teach you a lesson!” With that, he covered 300 miles in a single stride, leaving afterimages in his wake.
