"Hm? Where did that Qi fluctuation go?"
That was what the few Foundation Establishnt cultivators in the town thought. They felt the Qi in the surrounding area gather in a direction and were about to investigate, but then it disappeared.
"Weird. Did so passing venerable do that?" They wondered and decided against prying into other's business.
Curiosity killing the cat was a common idiom in the cultivation world, and many died a foolhardy death from investigating things they shouldn't. It could be finding treasure, covering murder, or even an irritable mood. Either way, as Foundation Establishnt cultivators, although they had little to fear, they were far from comparable to a Golden Core elder, let alone a venerable cultivator.
And so, they returned to their business or cultivation.
anwhile, three individuals deftly left the town. There was a strict curfew, but Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators could enter and leave a settlent like this at will. After all, who would stop you? The governor? Hence, there was an unsaid tacit understanding, giving a blind eye to such things.
Wanting to take Zhengfu Chao back as soon as possible to her sect, Xui Chang didn't hesitate and brought Zhengfu Chao and Yin An with her, traveling to her sect through the woods.
At first, she was worried that Zhengfu Chao would be too slow and she would have to carry him, but her worries were unfounded. She found the man moved with unmatched speed through raw physical strength. The weakest link was Yin An, a 6th-level Qi Refinent Cultivator with small success in movent techniques. Because of this, rather than being carried, Zhengfu Chao picked Yin An like a chick and followed Xui Chang.
"I say, Junior Brother Zhengfu, is this strength part of being a Nine Yang True Body? Did you practice Body Forging? Or were you also born with a Divine Strength Physique?" Xui Chang asked while lightly stepping on the ground, jumping like a graceful deer.
"Bless my luck for not trying to force him. Or else things would have been ugly." She thought.
"I was always more mighty than others. However, I lived in a rural village, and the cultivation techniques we had didn't work, so everyone thought I was a cultivation cripple born with Divine Strength. It wasn't until a kind elder ca to the village that I learned about my talent." Zhengfu Chao bullshitted.
"Oh." Xui Chang nodded.
She knew that unique physiques were often born with mighty bodies. The Pure Yang Body and Pure Yin Body gave the owner a more powerful body, and a Nine Yang True Body would be more powerful. But she didn't think it would be this exaggerated. However, since she was unfamiliar with a heavenly physique like the Nine Yang True Body, she took it as is. Either way, her elders should be more knowledgeable.
"This is so humiliating." Yin An ntally cried while being carried like luggage.
Half a day of travel later, they stopped to take a rest. Xui Chang forbade Zhengfu Chao from cultivating since it causes Qi fluctuations, so he restrained himself and instead read the other books he got. Thanks to his comprehension being above the Mortal Limit, cranked to 11(Literally), he comprehended everything he read at a glance.
With nothing better to do, he spent his ti cultivating the first floor of the Nine-Floor Soul Pagoda. He reached Great Completion within their four-hour break, aning it couldn't improve further. Inside his Spiritual Space, a solid 1-floor pagoda floated.
In a single sitting in sub-optimal conditions, he achieved what took months to years for most.
Also, the first floor unlocked an inherent soul skill, Soul Bulwark. It protected him from soul attacks, giving him added protection against strange moves.
They continued journeying through the forest, driving away Qi Refinent Monsters when they encountered them. Along the way, Zhengfu Chao also practiced the Nine Yang Movent Technique, which took him ten minutes to reach the Great Completion. It made his movents lighter and consud less energy, but he couldn't travel faster due to Xui Chang and the fear of harming Yin An in his arm.
Of course, Yin An and Xui Chang noticed this change. The change in his movent was too noticeable.
"Monster!" They both thought. That was the only apt description of how perverted Zhengfu Chao's comprehension speed was.
After another half a day-
"We are getting close to the sect territory." Xui Chang happily said.
"Oh! Nice." Zhengfu Chao nodded, eager to see the so-called sect.
"Thank god!" Yin An, still carried, tearfully thought.
Just then-
Boom* Clang* Clang* Woosh*
"Death to the demonic sluts!"
"How dare you ambush us near our sect territory!"
The cries of battle rang, making Xui Chang's expression change.
"Oh no! My sisters are under attack! I must help them!" Xui Chang thought and turned to Zhengfu Chao.
"Junior Brother, you-"
Woosh*
Before she could say anything else, Zhengfu Chao vanished in a blur, leaving the confused Yin An on the ground.
"Did he just-?!" Xui Chang widened her eyes and imdiately went to the combat zone. "Junior Sister, stay here!"
Woosh*
"I... what just happened?" Yin An blinked her eyes in confusion.
.
.
.
Clang* Clang* Clang* Thud*
Eight individuals at the Middle or Late stage of the Foundation Establishnt Realm were having a heated battle.
"Broken Yin Saber!"
"Furious Sword Strike!"
CLANG*
"Ugh!"
"Guh!"
Two figures separated. They were a handso man with a sword and a feminine-looking man with a saber.
"As expected from a Sword Cultivator, cross-challenging by a stage." The feminine man thought, being at the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishnt and the opponent at the Middle Stage. "And he isn't the only one."
"Amitabha!"
Bam*
"Kuk!"
A scantily dressed and seductive woman holding a Qiang was sent flying a dozen ters, her arms shaking from the strike she received by a bald and muscular monk with a staff.
Cring* Crang*
The harrowing sound of two musical instrunts rang as an invisible battle on the soul level raged between a woman holding a Pipa and another with a Zither. However, the sweat dripping from the woman with exposed long legs holding a Pipa proved she was losing to the Zither-wielding woman with modest clothes.
While the scimitar-wielding feminine man held his ground, his fellow disciples were losing. And-
Bam*
"Ah!" A pale woman with purple makeup wielding a whip crashed into a tree, her Qi in turmoil and blood dripping from her cherry lips due to internal injuries.
"Hmph. Weak demonic sluts. Your Qi is impure, and your skills are lacking." An arrogant man with a fan lightly fanned himself with his treasure weapon, eyeing his opponent with contempt at the opponent at the sa Late Stage as himself.
The demonic cultivators frowned but didn't retort because he spoke true. They were lovers, not fighters, using their higher cultivation realm and charms to defend themselves. The actual fighting forces of the demonic path were the Black Demon Sect and Poison Gu Sect. Due to this, when traveling outside, the Tantric Pleasure Sect got bullied when found, to the point that these righteous cultivators dared to attack them near their territory! They had to rely on their sexuality and charms to get by, often having a submissive position with the two other demonic sects for protection.
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the feminine man made a decision and turned to the whip-wielding woman who just recovered. "Sister! Run to the sect and inform the elders! We will hold them off!"
"B-But..." The woman hesitated, unwilling to abandon her fellow disciples.
"Go!"
"We can last for a while!"
The two other female disciples urged.
Of course, the four righteous cultivators wouldn't agree to that.
"You have the luxury to worry about others in my presence?! DIE!" The Furious Sword Cultivator was enraged and rushed to fight the feminine saber user.
"Almsgiver, the teachings say not to ignore Buddha when he stands before you. Amitabha!" The monk also charged as a golden sheen appeared on his skin.
"I am your opponent." The Blue Luan Zither player played a tune, forcing the Pipa player to defend herself again.
"I will send you on your way!" The arrogant man snorted and charged at the whip user, intent on finishing her in the next blow.
The whip-wielding woman desperately tried to defend herself, feeling death was approaching.
But just then-
Smack*
"Guho!"
The battlefield suddenly froze. Everyone saw a new arrival, a large 2.2m muscular man even more robust than the monk, smacking the arrogant man away with a single slap, half of his teeth flying out.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the arrogant man from the White Jade Sect, a fine palm print on his left swollen cheek and his mouth bloody, lying unconscious on the ground with smashed pearly teeth around him.
"Sss..." The people couldn't help but wince at the tragic sight.
Although they could regrow lost limbs and teeth with expensive dicine, the process was long and painful, leaving a deford mouth for the next few months.
They then looked at the newcor again, trying to discern his identity but failing. However, the arrogant man was at the Late Stage of Formation Establishnt, so his real strength should be at the Golden Core Realm!
"T-Thank you, Senior! Qiu'er thanks you for the rescue! May I know who this Senior is?" The whip user imdiately thanked him while probing his identity. Since he saved her, he should at least be friendly to their sect.
"Ah, hello, Senior Sister. I am Zhengfu Chao, a new disciple of the Tantric Pleasure Sect." Zhengfu Chao gave a kind smile.
"WHAT?!" The seven remaining cultivators widened their eyes in shock.
The Tantric Pleasure Sect focused on quick cultivation, Yin-Yang-based techniques, seduction, entertainnt, and sexual arts, not body forging!
"Wait, did he call her Senior Sister and say he just joined?!" The people caught on to these words.
On a careful look, they noticed that the man was only at the 2nd level of Qi Refinent and didn't wear sect clothing, at most so silk garnts, and even his spatial bag was the lowest Qi Refinent Bag.
"He must have innate Divine Strength! But how high is it to reach that level?! Or is he hiding his cultivation level?! But wait, why did soone like him join the Tantric Pleasure Sect?!" These questions filled the minds of everyone present.
"Senior, did you already join their sect?" The Blue Luan cultivator probed.
"Not yet. I only started cultivating and wanted to join the White Jade Sect but missed the recruitnt. However, I got scouted by an Inner Disciple of the Tantric Pleasure Sect nad Xui Chang due to my Yang physique." Zhengfu Chao honestly replied.
The expressions of the two male righteous cultivators turned ugly, while the demonic cultivators turned ecstatic. However, the Blue Luan female cultivator caught on to an underlying aning.
"Then that ans you have not practiced their techniques and formally accepted, right? You can join any other sect then!" A cunning glint flashed in her eyes.
The Tantric Pleasure Sect disciples suddenly panicked, while the sword-wielder and monk changed their ntality.
"Sir, I sensed you have a strong Yang Qi and very likely suitable to practice the Furious Sword Scripture of my sect! How about joining my Furious Sword Sect instead of this- whorehouse?" The Furious Sword Sect disciple suggested.
"Amitabha! Buddha forgives! This one senses your vigorous body and spirit, suitable for the Buddhist path of enlightennt! The Vajrapani Golden Body Sect welcos you!" The monk gave a bow.
"The Blue Luan Sect usually only accepts females, but there is no law against accepting males! There were precedents where we accepted male disciples. I am sure many beautiful sisters would admire soone as heroic as you." The Blue Luan Sect Disciple flattered and glanced at the White Jade Sect Disciple, unconscious like a beaten dog. "I would have recomnded the White Jade Sect, but I think it would be best if I don't."
"Fellow Disciple Zhengfu, don't listen to their deception! The Furious Sword Sect only has self-righteous, warmongering hypocrites! Unlike them, we are peaceful and honest in our ways." The feminine man said.
"Fellow Disciple Zhengfu, the Buddhist Sect is a bottomless snake pit full of infighting! If you join us, you won't need to worry about being backstabbed!" The woman with the qiang added.
"And those two sects only have n! As for the Blue Luan Sect, although they might accept you, those uptight won will limit you to one Dao Partner at most, which you can get in any other sect! But in our sect, you can have as many Dao Partners as you can handle!" The woman with the pipa said, glaring at the Blue Luan sect's disciple.
"And the White Jade Sect is filled with snobbish assholes and keeps the power in the hands of their mainline families and are very vengeful. Since you just slapped that man, they would cause endless unwarranted trouble! But we treat everyone equally and without prejudice!" The whip user whipped the corner of her mouth while glaring at the fallen man.
The righteous disciples were about to retort when they suddenly saw another figure jumping over.
"Junior Sister Xui!" The four demonic sect disciples were delighted. At the sa ti, they dropped whatever suspicion they had.
The hearts of the righteous disciples sank. It was now the situation was revering to an unfavorable state. Without hesitation, the monk picked the White Jade Disciple. "Senior, the Buddha is patient, yet our ti is short. Please make your choice."
"Why join these dishonorable sluts when you can find glory and honor on the righteous path?" The sword cultivator urged.
"Sir, they have no love or compassion. They are just that, demons. Please don't make the wrong choice." The Blue Luan Zither Player said.
"You shaless things! How dare you poach the future Saint Son of my sect!" Xui Chang was infuriated.
The expressions of everyone drastically changed.
"Saint Son?!"
The Tantric Pleasure Sect never had a Saint Son, only a Saint Daughter. It was due to the innate bias they had toward won. The current Saint Daughter of the Tantric Pleasure Sect had the rare physique, Purple Lotus Sacred Body, which was rarer and more potent than a Pure Yin body, comparable to an Upper-Grade Pure Yin Body.
"This senior said he had a Yang Physique. But it wouldn't be enough even if he had an Upper-Grade Pure Yang Body. Does that an he has a Three-Yang Sun Body?!" The others present were alard.
However, they could only guess and not determine anything. Without confirmation, they couldn't promise anything.
"As she said, I already decided on joining the Tantric Pleasure Sect, and we are not fated. I will not pursue you since I am not a formal disciple yet. But next ti you attack the sect, I won't be so kind." Zhengfu Chao finally spoke, wanting to end this farce.
"Thank you for showing rcy, senior!" The three righteous disciples bowed and quickly left.
"Fellow Disciple, why are you showing rcy to our enemies?!" The feminine man frowned and asked, voicing the thoughts of everyone present.
The cultivation world is cruel, and showing rcy is being cruel to oneself.
"I only intervened because you were in danger. Rember, I am not formally part of your sect yet. Besides, you are not in a position to continue fighting." Zhengfu Chao reminded, making the demonic cultivators sigh.
"If you say so, fellow disciple Zhengfu." The feminine man lowered his head, knowing it was indeed inappropriate.
"As for the matter of Saint Son or not, that would be up to the Sect Leader to decide." The feminine man thought.
"Senior Sister Xui, please bring Fellow Disciple Yin and let us be off." Zhengfu Chao requested.
"O-Oh. Right." Xui Chang nodded and went back to retrieve Yin An.
After picking Yin An like a chick and recovering a bit with so recovery pills, they continued traveling to the Tantric Pleasure Sect.
