Chapter 254: Crisis Emerges, Strength Breaks Through
In the solemn and dignified atmosphere of the sect, Yun Yao immersed himself in training to improve his own strength, while always keeping an eye on Liu Yan'er's every move, trying his best to collect evidence of her framing him.
Every morning, before the first ray of sunlight completely penetrated the clouds, Yun Yao had already started a day of practice in the quiet practice field in the back mountain of the sect. She sat cross-legged on a cold boulder, forming a practice seal with her hands. As she breathed in and out, the surrounding spiritual energy slowly gathered towards her like wisps of light smoke. However, the road from the high level of the foundation building realm to the Dan Ju realm was full of thorns. During the practice, Yun Yao often encountered the dilemma of poor spiritual power circulation, as if an invisible force blocked the flow of spiritual power in the meridians. Whenever this happened, she frowned slightly, concentrated all her consciousness, and carefully guided the spiritual power, trying to break through that layer of obstacles.
During this difficult time of cultivation, the system became her indispensable helper. The special cultivation tasks issued by the system were like lighthouses that guided the direction. One of the tasks required Yun Yao to practice alone in the Lingxu Cave of the sect for 49 days, and during the retreat, she had to resist the invasion of spiritual pressure and interference from the inner demons in the cave. Lingxu Cave is located deep in the back mountain of the sect. The spiritual pressure there is so dense that it is almost tangible, like an invisible mountain that weighs on people's hearts all the time. The inner demons are the embodiment of the fear and desire deep in the hearts of practitioners. They are waving their claws in the dark, trying to devour Yun Yao's will.
Yun Yao resolutely stepped into Lingxu Cave. As soon as she entered, the powerful spiritual pressure swept towards her like a surging tide. Her body shook slightly, but her eyes became more determined. During the days of retreat, she remained vigilant and had a thrilling battle with her inner demon. The inner demon transformed into scenes of failures and setbacks she had experienced in the modern world, trying to make her fall into despair and self-doubt. But Yun Yao, with her tenacious perseverance and persistent belief in cultivation, always adhered to her original intention and remained unmoved. She silently warned herself in her heart: "It is no accident that I traveled here. I must create a world of my own in this world of cultivation." After arduous efforts, she finally successfully completed the system task and received a bottle of Lingyuan Dan and a precious secret book of cultivation experience as rewards from the system.
The Lingyuan Pill melted in her mouth, turning into a surge of spiritual power that rushed through Yun Yao's meridians, like a clear spring that moistened her dry heart, helping her to make a slight breakthrough in her cultivation bottleneck. The secret book of cultivation experience gave her a deeper understanding of the operation and control of spiritual power, as if it had opened a door to a higher realm for her.
Just when Yun Yao was fully devoted to cultivation, she accidentally discovered the clues that Liu Yan'er was colluding with external evil forces. It was a chance encounter. Yun Yao was reading an ancient book in the sect's library. The book recorded a unique spiritual power fluctuation frequency, which was very similar to the spiritual power characteristics of evil cultivators. Just as Yun Yao was reading carefully, she suddenly noticed a similar spiritual power fluctuation coming from the garden outside the library. She was startled and quietly got up and looked for it in the direction of the spiritual power fluctuation.
In a remote corner of the garden, Yun Yao saw Liu Yan'er whispering with a man in a black robe and with a gloomy face. The man exuded a strong evil aura that made people shudder. Yun Yao hurriedly hid her figure and cast a spell called "Spirit Shadow Escape" to perfectly hide her aura. At the same time, she pricked up her ears and listened attentively to their conversation.
"Yan'er, are you sure we can successfully implement our plan in the sect? Yun Yao is no pushover. Her influence in the sect has been growing recently. If we let her continue to develop, it will definitely ruin our plans." The black-robed man's voice was low and hoarse, like a demon from hell.
Liu Yan'er raised a sinister smile and said softly, "Don't worry, I have placed evil cultivation items in her residence, and she will soon be treated as an evil cultivator by the sect. By then, no one in the sect will be able to compete with me, and I can gradually control the sect and pave the way for our great cause."
Yun Yao was furious when she heard this, but she knew that she couldn't act rashly at this time. She had to get more solid evidence to completely expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy. So, she suppressed her anger and continued to observe secretly.
As the investigation deepened, Yun Yao discovered that Liu Yan'er had been in close contact with some evil disciples in the sect. These disciples usually behaved in a casual and unruly manner in the sect, and they pretended to obey the sect's rules and teachings but secretly disobeyed them. Yun Yao discovered that they often secretly gathered in an abandoned cave in the back mountain of the sect late at night.
One night, Yun Yao risked being discovered and quietly approached the abandoned cave. She cast a spell called "Spiritual Breath Concealment" to perfectly blend her breath and figure into the surrounding environment, like an invisible shadow. A faint firelight flickered in the cave. Yun Yao peeked inside through the crack in the cave entrance and saw Liu Yan'er standing on a huge rock, speaking passionately to the disciples.
"As long as we act according to the plan, get rid of Yun Yao, and then eliminate those old guys in the sect one by one, this sect will sooner or later become our possession. By then, we can join hands with the evil cultivation alliance and jointly rule this world of cultivation." Liu Yan'er's eyes flashed with crazy ambition.
The disciples nodded one after another, with greedy and evil expressions on their faces. One of the disciples said flatteringly: "Senior Sister Liu is wise. As long as we follow Senior Sister Liu, we will surely be able to rise to prominence."
Yun Yao saw all of this, and secretly felt lucky that she had discovered their conspiracy in time. She knew that she had to stop Liu Yan'er's conspiracy as soon as possible, otherwise the sect would fall into a huge crisis. At the same time, she also had to completely clear her grievances and let the truth come to light.
In the following days, Yun Yao continued to practice and improve her strength while paying close attention to the movements of Liu Yan'er and others. She told all the secrets she had discovered to her most trusted brothers and sisters. After hearing this, these brothers and sisters were filled with righteous indignation and expressed their willingness to fight against Liu Yan'er's conspiracy with Yun Yao.
Yun Yao knows that this contest with Liu Yan'er is not only about personal honor and disgrace, but also about the survival of the sect. She silently vowed in her heart that no matter how much it costs, she must protect the sect and her home in the world of cultivation. And the battle between good and evil between her and Liu Yan'er is about to begin in this world of cultivation full of mystery and crisis. No one can predict what the outcome will be.
