Chapter 93 Female-Dominant Cultivation World (Fourteen)

The cultivators leading the ten major sects this time were all at the Nascent Soul stage, and their status in their respective sects was not to be taken lightly.

Due to the recent emergence of the demon race, the cultivation world seemed calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging beneath.

It had been tens of thousands of years since the demon race had appeared in such a high-profile manner within the spirit realm. Now that they had returned with a vengeance, combined with Elder Cloud’s prophecy.

How could the high-level cultivators of various sects who knew the inside story not be alarmed?

For the elders of the major sects, this selection of disciples in Wuya City had two tasks: first, to hold a preliminary alliance to discuss plans for eliminating demons, and second, to find the destined girl mentioned by Elder Cloud.

The Harmonious Union Sect fell overnight, and on the Coral Island mission, the team led by a Nascent Soul elder with elite disciples from the ten major sects went to provide support, but was almost completely wiped out.

The demon race occupied the mountains around Coral Island with lightning speed, and the entire territory of Yong Province was also reported to have been occupied by the demon race a month ago.

Even though the major sects deliberately concealed such a major event in the spirit realm, the reappearance of the demon race in the southwest sea area would be impossible to keep secret after some time.

The savior mentioned by Elder Cloud had been searched for by all major sects for three years, but to no avail. The sect leaders of the major sects had nearly worried their hair white. This disciple selection in Wuya City might be the last chance.

According to Elder Cloud’s prophecy, the destined girl would be involved in the turmoil of the immortal-demon war in the future.

Based on this inference, this person must also be in the situation. But so far, no such exceptionally talented individual had appeared in the cultivation world.

This disciple selection was likely to be the last chance.

If they couldn’t find the destined girl in advance and gather all the resources of the cultivation world to help her restore her cultivation, how could they fight against the demon race with world-destroying power mentioned by Elder Cloud seven years later?

Therefore, when such a female cultivator who instantly ascended the cloud ladder appeared in front of the water mirror today, all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the ten major sects stared with wide eyes.

“She is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, at most Foundation Establishment stage. Friend Pang, did you notice anything?”

The speaker was the Celestial Crystal Daoist from the Supreme Sect, standing with hands behind her back, exuding an immortal aura. Her eyes fixed on the water mirror, she glanced sideways at the stunned Pang Lingzi beside her.

As soon as these words fell, the elders of various major sects all turned their ears to listen carefully.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Celestial Crystal asked again, “Friend Pang, you’ve been staring at the water mirror just now, did you notice anything unusual?”

With the disciple selection this time, there was a high possibility of finding the destined girl. As soon as Celestial Crystal spoke, Pang Lingzi understood her implication.

She half-squinted her eyes, carefully recalling the scene she had just witnessed.

She spoke with deliberation, “There wasn’t anything particularly special. This old Daoist initially thought this girl might not be able to ascend the cloud ladder, so I only glanced at her briefly before looking away. If it weren’t for the keen eyes of everyone here, I wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual at this moment. How embarrassing.”

These words were proper, but there was some concealment. Everyone wanted to recruit good seedlings, let alone this girl who was very likely to be a powerful being reincarnated, a future person of great fortune and destiny.

The group of old fellows present were probably all making small calculations at this moment. As long as this girl ascended the cloud ladder and tested her spirit root, everyone would fight to recruit her if her spirit root was outstanding. The more one spoke now, the more mistakes one would make!

Pang Lingzi was not a fool. This matter concerned the future rise and fall of the sect. The Beastmaster Sect also wanted the female protagonist of the cloud ladder. She had observed earlier that a black bird was perched on her shoulder, which she cared for very much.

Holding it in her arms with great care, the Beastmaster Sect indeed had beast-controlling techniques.

They could also offer her premium beast-controlling techniques, using this as a pretext to increase the chances of bringing her back to the sect.

While Pang Lingzi was making her own calculations, the other elders also had their own plans in mind.

They all smiled without speaking, but their eyes contained surging emotions.

Meanwhile, Liu Changning, who was being stared at by dozens of gazes, seemed to sense something and raised her head. She glanced at the vast clouds above the ladder, then looked away as if nothing had happened.

“Oh? It’s you!”

Having already reached the upper level, where cultivators were gradually becoming more numerous, Liu Changning’s hand paused as she was fiddling with the small black bird.

She glanced sideways to see a male cultivator dressed in light blue robes, with about Foundation Establishment level cultivation.

With a jade-white face, his brow bone not too prominent, when he smiled his eyebrows curved and deep dimples appeared on his cheeks, looking gentle and likable at first glance.

He looked up at her, his clear and handsome features breaking into a natural smile, causing female cultivators around to frequently glance his way.

Liu Changning gave him a faint glance, having no impression of him.

She nodded politely to him, but did not stop.

On the stone steps ahead, there were many people ascending the ladder.

At this moment, low-level cultivators with ordinary aptitude but some cultivation had mostly climbed to the upper levels of the stairs.

Since ancient times, those with outstanding spirit roots have been few and far between. Eighty percent of the ordinary people (cultivators) who came to join the ten major sects had average aptitude, so the upper levels of the cloud ladder were the most crowded at this moment.

Pei Ziyuan didn’t like crowded places, and at this moment his entire bird body was nestled in Liu Changning’s arms. He impatiently urged, “Walk faster.”

Liu Changning rubbed his raised feathers and quickened her pace.

Unexpectedly, the young man who had just spoken to her caught up, panting. With his gentle appearance, keeping up with her steps seemed somewhat difficult. The wind in midair was gusty, and each step felt like a thousand-pound weight pressing down.

At this moment, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his smooth forehead, and he said with a long handsome face twisted in suffering, “Sister, please wait for Chang Huan.”
