Chapter 151: Hehe
Kun Du Peak, one of the eighteen auxiliary peaks of the Western Kunlun Sect.
Liu Li sat there, her mind wandering.
She had just heard that the True Immortal Tower, which possessed the "Twelve True Words Book," had been destroyed.
At this moment, she couldn't help but admire Lan Xiaobu for being able to part with the "Seven Sounds."
The "Second Dao Classic" was originally something she had acquired, so it was only natural for Lan Xiaobu to give it up.
However, the "Seven Sounds" was something Lan Xiaobu had obtained himself.
Looking back, if Lan Xiaobu had been a bit more greedy and kept the "Seven Sounds," he might now be facing the same fate as the True Immortal Tower.
"A commoner without sin carries the sin of possessing treasure."
In Yuan Continent, sigh...
Footsteps sounded from outside, and Liu Li quickly stood up, knowing her master had returned.
Her heart was a whirlwind of emotions; she realized the moment that would determine her fate had arrived.
The door opened, and a beautiful woman walked in, appearing older and more mature than Liu Li.
This was her master, Yu Xiangyi, the peak master of Kun Du, already at the late stage of the Virtual God realm.
"Master..."
Liu Li called out excitedly, her eyes filled with longing as she gazed at her master.
It had been nearly half a year since returning to the Western Kunlun Sect.
The poison in her body had still not been completely eradicated.
It was only after drinking Five Spirit Liquid and even swallowing Five-Colored Immortal Mushrooms that she had managed to maintain her cultivation.
Otherwise, she would have lost all her cultivation power, let alone hope to dispel the poison.
Later, her master had come up with a plan, instructing her to cultivate the "Second Dao Classic."
Many of the teachings in the "Second Dao Classic" were completely opposite to the traditional techniques passed down, and perhaps by practicing it, she could suppress or even expel the poison.
However, Liu Li's excited demeanor quickly turned to worry as she noticed her master didn't seem particularly happy.
"I'm sorry, Li'er..."
Hearing these words, Liu Li's heart sank; she feared she might not be able to cultivate the "Second Dao Classic" after all.
Sure enough, Yu Xiangyi sighed and continued, "It seems that the 'Second Dao Classic' is no longer something I can decide on. Currently, many five-star sects, including Nine Continents Mountain, are keeping an eye on this scripture, and it cannot be duplicated..."
While Yu Xiangyi spoke about the decisions of the sect master and elders, Liu Li lost interest in listening.
Just as Lan Xiaobu had said, the higher-ups had cultivated it, then the middle managers, followed by relatives and children, and a whole bunch of others had their eyes on the "Second Dao Classic."
It was better for her to give up hope.
"Li'er, the elder Zhang has already examined your poison. He believes that..."
Yu Xiangyi seemed troubled, unable to finish her thoughts.
Liu Li raised her head, her face pale, as she faintly sensed an ominous premonition.
Yu Xiangyi sighed again, "Elder Zhang believes that the poison has already penetrated deeply into your five meridians and marrow. Your previous injuries were too severe, allowing the toxins to spread, and with so much time wasted, it's simply not something that pills can heal."
Liu Li felt a wave of dizziness rush through her head, nearly collapsing to the ground.
"Master, does this mean I will remain trapped in the Golden Core realm for my entire life?" Liu Li's hands trembled, shocked at the thought of going from the favored daughter of heaven to a useless person; she could hardly accept it.
Yu Xiangyi hesitated, and Liu Li's voice quivered, "Master, if this is true, what else can't you say?"
Yu Xiangyi sighed heavily, "Your cultivation will gradually weaken as the poison spreads, and when your cultivation has fully disappeared, you will…"
Liu Li had come to understand.
Once she lost her cultivation, she would lose her life.
"Li'er, you need not worry. I was afraid you would be too idle, so I wanted to recommend you to be an elder in the Scripture Depository. There’s a core disciple of Kunyu Sect, Qing Shan..."
Liu Li stood up abruptly, "Master, I will not marry him. I intend to leave the sect and experience life outside for a while..."
"Then we won't discuss Qing Shan any longer. The Sect Master asked me if you know the exact location of the Five-Colored Immortal Mushroom and whether anyone besides you is aware of that place?" Yu Xiangyi's face showed a hint of shame; she did not want to ask these questions, yet she was compelled to.
Liu Li felt like a waste, knowing her position would soon be taken over by someone new.
She looked at her master in disbelief.
She had given everything she had to the sect, besides the "Second Dao Classic" and Lan Xiaobu’s "Seven Sounds."
This included the Five-Colored Immortal Mushroom and the Spirit Marrow Crystal, the Five Spirit Liquid…
Now she was going out to gain experience, yet the sect wanted her to reveal these locations, asking if anyone else knew them?
In this moment, she could only feel gratitude for not having revealed that it was Lan Xiaobu who brought her to the Five-Colored Mystic Gorge.
If she had said that, it might have harmed not only her but also Lan Xiaobu.
Once, the Western Kunlun Sect held a towering image in her heart, only to suddenly collapse like a grand tower she had painstakingly built, now crumbling to the ground.
Liu Li shook her head blankly, wanting to say something, but her voice failed her, leaving her without a word to express.
A successor saintess? Hehe, how laughable.
Yu Xiangyi sighed in relief, glad that no one else knew.
"Master, I want to leave the sect."
After a long time, Liu Li finally regained her ability to speak, but her voice lacked the previous clarity, now tinged with fatigue and hoarseness.
Yu Xiangyi also spoke melancholically, "It’s good to go out for a bit. Staying in the sect can be suffocating..."
It seemed there was something left unspoken by Yu Xiangyi, yet Liu Li understood.
She took out a jade tablet, inscribing some things into it with her mind before handing it to Yu Xiangyi.
"Master, I only saw the Five-Colored Immortal Mushroom here..."
Yu Xiangyi hurriedly accepted the jade tablet, revealing a drawing of two steep cliffs with a stream below; one cliff's edges depicted the falling Five Spirit Liquid, with markings indicating the locations of the Five-Colored Immortal Mushroom and Spirit Marrow Crystal.
After reading the jade tablet, Yu Xiangyi spoke with guilt, "Li'er, the sect owes you."
Liu Li shook her head, "No, the sect does not owe me. Everything I have done in these years is the sect shielding me."
She also didn’t feel indebted to the sect; the things she had left were enough to compensate for what the sect had done for her.
As for the Five-Colored Mystic Gorge, that was discovered by Lan Xiaobu—she had no right to speak of it.
Yu Xiangyi handed Liu Li a sword talisman, "Li'er, your cultivation is weakening. If anything happens outside, quickly activate the talisman."
Liu Li did not take the talisman, instead saying, "Master, I plan to leave the Western Kunlun Sect. I want to walk my own path at my own pace. Staying here has become a burden."
Yu Xiangyi was stunned, realizing Liu Li intended to officially sever ties with the western Kunlun Sect.
After a long pause, she withdrew the talisman and sighed, "I'm sorry; it seems I haven't done well as your master."
Liu Li did not respond, standing up to hand over her disciple jade token, then bowed to Yu Xiangyi, slowly walking out.
Yu Xiangyi stood motionless, staring at her disciple's retreating figure, her heart filled with guilt.
But for some matters, she was powerless to decide.
...
Liu Li had no idea how she left the sect, feeling somewhat lost.
She didn't know where she should go or where her home truly lay.
It wasn't until she had left the sect for a while that she remembered she was no longer a disciple of the Western Kunlun Sect.
With a sigh, she summoned a spaceship, not even bothering to find direction, simply activating it.
In just half a day, Liu Li halted her journey.
Though her cultivation was declining, she was still at the Golden Core realm, and she was aware of anyone following her.
Just as Liu Li's spaceship came to a stop, another spaceship descended beside hers.
"Xing Yi Senior Sister?" Liu Li called out as she saw a woman coming down from the other spaceship, then added, "Xing Yi Senior Sister, are you here to see me off?"
The woman, Zhao Xingyi, was Yu Xiangyi’s eldest disciple.
However, compared to Liu Li, she was not as favored.
Liu Li was not just the most cherished disciple of Kun Du Peak, but also the top disciple of the Western Kunlun Sect, as she was the first choice for the saintess.
Zhao Xingyi lowered her head, a look of guilt and resistance on her face.
Liu Li's face turned even paler as she realized that this was an attempt to silence her.
There were only two reasons for silencing: first, she might have seen the "Second Dao Classic," and second, there was the canyon with the Five-Colored Immortal Mushroom.
As she was no longer a disciple of the sect, they wouldn’t let her leave with such secrets.
Her master truly had a cruel heart.
How laughable that she had always felt proud to be the saintess of the Western Kunlun Sect, as if everything around her was insignificant.
Even this senior sister, who would usually actively greet her, seemed now intent on something sinister.
"I'm sorry, Li Junior Sister, I..."
Zhao Xingyi was unable to express her inner conflict; she truly didn’t want to come over now.
Liu Li forced a miserable smile, "This must be my retribution; go ahead and do it."
Liu Li closed her eyes, lacking even the desire to fight back.
Zhao Xingyi looked at Liu Li with her eyes closed, feeling her emotions swell.
Although this junior sister generally acted proud and looked down on others, she was not a despicable villain.
Seeing Zhao Xingyi still did not act after a long while, Liu Li opened her eyes to calmly regard her, "Xing Yi Senior Sister, go ahead. I won’t hold it against you."
Some things may take a lifetime to comprehend, while others can become clear in an instant.
Liu Li had come to see through the so-called five-star sect—the Western Kunlun Sect had such prestige and power.
In Lan Xiaobu's words, hehe.
Zhao Xingyi took a deep breath, pulling out an item and handing it to Liu Li, "Li Junior Sister, this is a treasured mask artifact that I’ve kept. I’ve never used it; you take it. From now on, the name Liu Li should never be heard again. Liu Li has been ‘killed’ by her ruthless senior sister, Zhao Xingyi. I’ll be leaving now; take care."
With that, Zhao Xingyi turned and quickly activated her spaceship, leaving.
Liu Li held onto the mask artifact, tears blurring her vision.
She understood well that once this matter was exposed, Senior Sister Xingyi would face terrible consequences.
Yet, she hadn’t always treated Senior Sister Xingyi with utmost respect, often regarding her as more of a younger sister.
Instead, she had always viewed her master as a mother.
Human nature often erupts when one is caught off guard.
