: Is the Cult Leader Planning to Make a Move?

Chu Yuan looked at Qianji in silence.

[Target: 1,000 machines]

Cultivation level: Mid-stage Tribulation Transcending (?)

[Fate's Trajectory: Hearing the cult leader's words, he was deeply moved and became even more determined to follow the cult leader and serve as his deputy...]

Chu Yuan's lips twitched slightly as he watched Qianji's excited expression.

To be honest, he had considered that this slogan might convince Qianji.

But Chu Yuan really didn't expect Qianji to be so excited.

Dude, aren't you a member of the Demonic Cult?

Logically speaking, shouldn't one be thinking about how to betray their superiors and become the boss themselves?

Why is it that when it comes to you, you only want to be a deputy?

Chu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

That's it.

He is now the strongest demon lord, the leader of the demonic sect, and the undisputed villain.

The minor villain is loyal to the major villain.

Yes, that makes perfect sense!

"Master, if I may be so bold as to ask, is there anything I can do for you when you emerge from seclusion?"

Qianji calmed down a bit and looked up at Chu Yuan.

He has completed the transition in his role.

The leader's lofty aspirations are completely different from those of previous leaders.

How fortunate I am to be able to follow such a great leader!

Chu Yuan thought for a moment.

He had heard Youyue mention it before.

Previously, some elders had been dissatisfied with him, but they dared not take action due to their limited strength.

After three years of seclusion, his aura showed signs of going astray.

Some of the elders have already started making their own moves.

Within three days, someone will surely come to test us.

Since that's the case, why not take the initiative?

Moreover, Qianji's ability to ask such a question must mean he was prepared!

Let's use their strength against them!

Chu Yuan glanced at Qianji briefly and said calmly:

"Once you have an idea, just do it your way!"

Qianji was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

The cult leader actually knew about my preparations all along!

And let yourself act recklessly!

A touch of emotion welled up in Qianji's heart.

"Thank you for your trust, Master. I will make the arrangements accordingly!"

Qianji said respectfully.

Chu Yuan nodded and waved for Qianji to leave.

After Qianji left.

Chu Yuan withdrew his gaze and focused it on his palm.

Chu Yuan would not entrust his life to others.

Regardless of whether the Thousand Machines were prepared or not.

Ultimately, it all comes down to how strong your own fist is.

In fact, Chu Yuan already had a plan in mind regarding his departure from the pass.

According to the information gathered by Youyue.

Although the ten supreme elders were eager to make a move, they dared not act personally, so they all sent some junior elders to test the waters.

Most of them have a cultivation level of around the Golden Core stage.

Although this is the Xuantian Sect.

A Golden Core cultivator is merely a minor elder.

But for Chu Yuan, this was an existence he could not contend with at this moment!

Fortunately, the original owner had left many cultivation techniques and weapons in his storage ring, including many highly offensive magical artifacts.

One of the knives is the most lethal!

In the original owner's memories, the power of magical artifacts alone was enough to sever even a Golden Core cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator!

However, using that magical artifact requires a very high level of physical strength.

If one's physical condition is not good, they might suffer a backlash and die on the spot!

Therefore, Chu Yuan did not intend to cultivate the original owner's techniques.

The original user's cultivation method involved breaking through with Qi.

Even if you train hard, you won't be able to meet the physical requirements in a short time.

I need to learn a physical exercise method.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan found a body-refining technique in his storage ring.

It was obtained by the original owner of this body when he accidentally entered a small secret realm during his training.

The name of the technique is—

Nine-Turn Indestructible Body!

This method proves the Dao through force, making it impervious to all laws and indestructible even after nine kalpas!

As long as you can reach the first job advancement!

Chu Yuan was confident he could withstand the backlash from the attack.

With a thought, Chu Yuan took out a cold jade box and several crystals emanating astonishing spiritual energy from his storage ring.

The moment the Jade Box was opened, an incomparably sharp golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the quiet room as if it were daytime.

A nine-leaf spirit herb lay quietly in the box, its leaves shimmering with a metallic sheen.

Each of the Nine Revolutions Undying Body requires a corresponding spiritual object for tempering.

The better the quality of the spirit object, the better the tempering effect.

But the greater the danger that comes with it!

Chu Yuan's first transformation was the Gengjin Body Tempering Transformation.

The chosen plant is the golden scale grass.

A ruthless glint flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes.

At this moment, there is no other choice but to rely on strength to give him a sense of security!

Chu Yuan sat cross-legged, placing the Golden Scale Grass in his palm, with the top-grade spirit stone floating three feet above his head.

"laugh--"

Driven by spiritual power, the golden scale grass transformed into a burst of golden light, which then seeped into the meridians of the palm.

In an instant, Chu Yuan felt as if thousands of fine steel needles were traveling and piercing through his limbs and bones, and every meridian was being forcibly washed away by the Golden Scale Grass.

His temples were bulging with veins, but he gritted his teeth and kept the exercise running.

The top-grade spirit stone above simultaneously showered down a waterfall of pure spiritual energy, nourishing the body ravaged by the metal element spiritual power like sweet dew, maintaining a delicate balance between destruction and rebirth.

A roaring sound, like a surging river, came from within Chu Yuan's body.

Pale gold patterns gradually appeared on the surface.

"Cleansing the marrow and strengthening the tendons, forging a golden foundation."

Chu Yuan gave a low shout and formed a complex Gengjin hand seal with his hands.

More golden light burst forth from the pores, condensing into a thin layer of golden cocoon on the skin.

Three days later.

As the last wisp of golden light merged into his dantian, Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of golden glint appearing in them.

First turn.

The metal element has been tempered and transformed; it's done!

Fortunately, the top-grade spirit stones provided ample spiritual energy.

Otherwise, Chu Yuan would very likely die from this golden phosphorus grass!

but……

Chu Yuan looked at his fist; a faint golden sheen seemed to flow across the surface of his skin before quickly disappearing.

"Finally, I have some ability to protect myself..."

……

Meanwhile, at the Ghost Palace.

Youyue and Litu sat on either side, their gazes fixed on the black-robed figure in the main seat.

"Why did you suddenly summon us here?"

Youyue spoke first, her voice clear and cold:

"Did the cult leader give these instructions?"

This was the first time Qianji had invited anyone else to his Dao Palace.

Upon hearing this, Li Tu immediately straightened his back and said in a gruff voice:

"If I'm ever called upon, I'll be at the forefront!"

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

I never imagined I'd have to fight for a chance to redeem myself!

Li Tu couldn't help but sigh with sorrow at this thought.

You said you've endured this for five hundred years.

Can't you just bear with it for a few more days?

Now the cult leader has used it as bait to lure us out.

If I displease the cult leader again...

I'm afraid I'll lose my head!

Qianji raised his eyes and calmly swept his gaze over the two of them.

"The leader has not yet given any specific instructions."

Li Tu was startled, and slowly relaxed.

It's better if there are no instructions, that way I'm still safe.

"Then what do you mean?"

Youyue frowned, her tone impatient.

Qianji picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

"You all know that the sect leader will emerge from seclusion soon. And you've also heard about the little tricks the ten elders have been playing, haven't you?"

Youyue and Litu exchanged a glance and nodded.

Qianji continued:

"What are your plans?"

Youyue immediately said:

"Seize those who dare to offend the sect leader and abolish their cultivation!"

Li Tu hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively:

"I should be like Youyue."

"You guys are exactly as I expected..."

Qianji glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly:

"madness!"
