Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 709: Chapter 43: The Scheming Wen Yang, Online Instigation Chapter 709: Chapter 43: The Scheming Wen Yang, Online Instigation “This time, Kunlun sends three people, Shushan six, and Penglai three, making a total of twelve people teaming up to head for Xihua Peak to search for the entrance to the Golden Que Secret Realm.”

“The time is set for the day after tomorrow at noon, gathering at the Emei Golden Summit of Shushan, and then heading west together.”

“The Shushan side has long since sent people to Xihua Peak in advance to investigate repeatedly.

And it was precisely because of the numerous visits that our covert operatives took notice.”

“To date, it has been confirmed that the entrance to the secret realm is at the peak of Xihua Peak, but the method to open it remains unclear.

Therefore, this time Shushan has invited Jian Buyan from the Qingzhou Jian Family to attempt divination on-site.”

“Additionally, ten Shushan elders, along with the Jade Capital Sect Leader himself, will accompany them.”

“Hmm.” Although Wei Dongliu was already aware of this intelligence, perhaps even more so than the Nether Ghost Path, he still showed a serious demeanor and solemnly said to Wen Yang, “Since the entrance has not yet been discovered, why don’t we follow closely behind them, without revealing our tracks, and wait for the entrance to the Golden Que Secret Realm to be unearthed, then act swiftly to seize the initiative?”

“We were thinking the same,” Wen Yang said with a smile that was as radiant as flowers.

“The path ahead is uncertain, which is perfect for letting the Three Pure Ones scout the way for us.”

“As for personnel allocation, the Honored One mentioned that the more people entering the secret realm, the more difficult the corresponding challenges will be.”

“Therefore, we plan to also limit our number to twelve, with four from the Nether Ghost Path, three from the Heavenly Demon Path, two from the Mortal Life Path, two from the Asura Path, and one from the Eastern Emperor Path…

Brother Wei, what do you think?”

Wei Dongliu listened without changing his expression, a cold sneer forming in his heart.

This allocation proposal was surely not something Wen Yang had the qualifications to suggest; it must have been devised by the Honored White Bone of the Nether Ghost Path.

The Nether Ghost Path and the Heavenly Demon Path had the most people.

In other words, despite all the talk of the Intercepting Cult and the Six Paths standing as equals, in the eyes of these longstanding sects like Heavenly Demon and Nether Ghost, the Mortal Life Path was not yet qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with them and could only belong to the second tier.

Of course, sects like Asura and Eastern Emperor, being newcomers, would definitely fall into the third tier.

Although the Asura Path and Mortal Life Path both contributed two people this time, it was only because the plateau area where Xihua Peak was located was the territory of the Asura Path, so they were given an extra quota.

“I will consult with the Blood Sea Ancestor and get his approval on this matter,” Wei Dongliu calmly responded.

“Then we’ll await your message,” Wen Yang said with a laugh.

After having someone take Wen Yang to the guest room, Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment, then flew alone towards the peak via sword control.

Beneath the giant rocks, amidst the snow, he relayed the latest developments of the situation to the Blood Sea Ancestor in detail.

“Very well,” the Blood Sea Ancestor said indifferently.

“Let’s do as White Bone suggested.”

“Pick two people from the sect to represent the Mortal Life Path for this Golden Que convention.”

Who else could he choose?

There was only Wei Dongliu, the Sect Master himself, and his recently Core Formation-staged disciple, Guo Jin.

After deciding on the personnel, Wei Dongliu went to find Wen Yang to inquire about the time the Golden Que Secret Realm would open-of course, he was already aware of the date but had to pretend not to know and ask.

In just half a day of not seeing her, Wen Yang emerged from her room in a set of men’s clothing, looking both spirited and captivating.

Wei Dongliu couldn’t help but feel both amused and frustrated at her attire.

“Ahem.” Wen Yang awkwardly explained, “I’ve been wearing women’s clothes too much, so I switched to men’s clothes to ease my mind.”

“The women’s clothes were his idea, right?” Wei Dongliu suggested knowingly as he asked.

“The Honored One did indeed suggest this,” Wen Yang said with a helpless and wry smile.

“In his eyes, since I am a woman, pretending to be a man would just seem like a deliberate act of ugliness.

Thus, within the sect’s residence, I always present myself in women’s clothing.”

“Let’s not dwell on that.

Have you decided on the people from the Mortal Life Path?”

“It’s decided.

The date?”

“Shushan will set off the day after tomorrow, so we need to leave tomorrow night at the hour of the pig, gathering at the Netherwind Pavilion on Mount Beimang, and make sure not to leak any information.”

“Of course.”

On the following day, Guo Jin indeed successfully transcended the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation and returned, having completed his mission with the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword in hand.

“Very good,” Wei Dongliu, who had anticipated this, took the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword back to his side and said, “As your mentor, I grant you the Daoist title ‘Ming Ling.'”

“Now that you have formed your Golden Core and become a True Person, you must take on even more responsibilities.”

“Tonight, accompany your mentor on a trip to Mount Beimang.”

Guo Jin naturally had no objections and simply acknowledged with a nod.

——

The Pavilion of the Nether Winds, located deep within Mount Beimang, was built by some ancient figure, though their identity remains unknown.

Because it is situated in such a remote area, few mortals would stay here, with only cultivators choosing to make it their resting place.

At the third watch of the pig, many cultivators from the Six Paths had already arrived one after another.

Four from the Nether Ghost Path, namely Mo Gu True Person and his three underlings.

Three from the Heavenly Demon Path, all enchantingly beautiful female cultivators, passed over.

Two from the Asura Path, one dressed as a robed foreign monk, the other appearing as a secular cultivator…

it was Venerable Moyan whom Qiu Changtian had encountered.

And a cultivator from the Eastern Emperor Path, passed over.

After scanning everyone present, Wei Dongliu suddenly realized, where is Wen Yang?

“Wei Daoyou, I am here,” said an inconspicuous underling suddenly speaking up beside Mo Gu True Person.

His face began to writhe, and it transformed into the pretty visage of a woman.

“Brother Wen?” Wei Dongliu said in surprise.

So, this guy had actually disguised himself as Mo Gu True Person’s underling, no wonder I didn’t see her in the secret realm…

As Wei Dongliu was thinking this, he suddenly heard Mo Gu True Person asking, displeased:

“Lianshan, who is this?”

“This is Sect Master Wei of the Mortal Life Path,” Wen Yang said with a beaming smile, “Brother Wei, let me introduce you, this is Mo Gu True Person of the Nether Ghost Path.”

“Mo Gu?” Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment, only to see Mo Gu True Person’s gaze shifting from Wen Yang to him and back again several times, his eyes gradually becoming more wary and hostile-almost as if a male animal courting its preferred female had just discovered another male near her.

Oh, this fellow is pursuing Wen Yang, and he sees me as a romantic rival.

Wei Dongliu couldn’t help but smile wryly in his heart and gave Wen Yang a look, signaling her to come over and explain quickly.

I am a man with a Daoist Companion and will not stoop to argue with a defeated dog like you!

Yet, Wen Yang seemed as if she hadn’t seen his look, merely walking over to Wei Dongliu’s side, and explained with a laugh:

“This Daoist title is quite peculiar, isn’t it?

Actually, he chose it himself.”

The subtext was that this man was not very cultured, similar to the barbarian monks of the Asura Path, who would choose Daoist titles such as “Moyan” or “Iron Arm”…

Wei Dongliu barely managed to keep his smile in check but then heard Mo Gu True Person asking with a smile that was not really a smile:

“Lianshan, are you acquainted with Sect Master Wei?”

Seeing the fellow’s hostility increase, Wei Dongliu quickly coughed to signal Wen Yang to clarify the situation.

???G0.??

“Yes, we are indeed old acquaintances who met quite some time ago,” Wen Yang said, still smiling, “It’s a pity, if it hadn’t been for Jiang Daoyou who acted first and married Sect Master Wei, perhaps I would be the Sect Leader’s lady now!”

Hey, that’s not the kind of explanation you’re supposed to give!
