Chu Cheng ultimately wasn't allowed to enter the Dark Moon Palace.
It wasn't that Chu Cheng was unwilling; it was mainly because the Great Elder was considering Xinghe's feelings.
You see, Chu Cheng is Xinghe's fellow villager, right? Xinghe had already said that he likes to take care of his fellow villagers.
So the outer sect has always been particularly "attentive" to Chu Cheng!
Ever since Chu Cheng joined the outer sect, the consumption of bandages has skyrocketed, mainly because the senior brothers in the outer sect wanted to help Chu Cheng train his body.
The Great Elder was overjoyed upon hearing this and specially arranged for disciples to go to Hillside Village to "inform" Chu Cheng's father, Chu Youcai, about how popular his son was.
Of course, to prevent Chu Youcai from thinking this was intentional by the sect, the Great Elder specifically arranged for the disciples to hide their identities and wait for the right moment to "inform" Chu Youcai on a dark, windy night when no one was around!
And it wasn't just a one-time "informing"; the disciples were to frequently "inform" Chu Youcai about his son's situation.
Doesn't he like to ask about his son's condition?
I'll find someone to answer him!The Great Elder clarified that he meant "answer," not "hit back," that was a typo!
Thus, the Dark Moon Palace was dubbed by the Grand Sky Sect as a place even Chu Cheng wouldn't go, let alone a dog...
But in such circumstances, Wei Xin still chose to enter the Dark Moon Palace, living as a person of the Dark Moon Palace and dying as a ghost of the Dark Moon Palace. Can we not call him the bravest warrior of the Grand Sky Sect?
So even though Wei Xin joined the sect for a short time, he quickly gained unanimous recognition from everyone in the sect.
Everyone expressed that, indeed, he was promoted by Senior Brother Xinghe, with such resilience that it seemed almost willful!
As the bravest warrior of the Grand Sky Sect, Wei Xin felt he was no longer living in dire straits every day.
Because living in dire straits still implies some semblance of life and living, right?
Where could he see life and living now?
All he saw was death, death, death...
Wei Xin once thought, if a senior brother from the Dark Moon Clan accidentally killed him, could he end this miserable life?
But reality proved Wei Xin was overthinking it. The senior brothers of the Dark Moon Clan were so adept at playing with death that there was no chance of any accidental killing.
Wei Xin used to hear people talk about despair and looked down on those who spoke of it.
Despair? I, Wei Xin, endured fifteen years of hardship just to infiltrate the Grand Sky Sect. I lived in despair every day, but did I ever speak of despair?
Now Wei Xin realized those fifteen years were like a fairy tale...
These fifteen days were much more brutal...
But there is no eternal cruelty in the world; opportunities are for those prepared. Just as Wei Xin was contemplating whether to reveal his identity and seek death, the Great Sage summoned him.
"Wei Xin greets the Great Sage..." Wei Xin wore a look of utter hopelessness.
"Ahem... Wei Xin, you've been in my Dark Moon Palace for some time now. I should teach you some techniques, but all our techniques are of the dark type... so you can't learn them. After much thought, I've decided to first teach you the Wuxiang Heart Sutra. Later, I'll find more suitable techniques for you from the Skill Tower."
"Rest assured, Wei Xin, you are my first disciple in the Dark Moon Palace. I don't know about other palaces, but with me here, I will ensure you have a good future!"
After hearing the Great Sage's words, Wei Xin felt as if the world had brightened!
I, Wei Xin, have finally reached the moment to stand out!
Facing the brutality of the past fifteen days wasn't in vain.
A few days ago, Elder Ling Su even sent a message telling me to find a way to get the Wuxiang Heart Sutra...
I, Wei Xin, racked my brains but couldn't find an opportunity, yet the opportunity came to me!
Wei Xin was so excited that he kowtowed to the Great Sage.
But the Great Sage stopped him.
"Wei Xin... we don't practice this in the Dark Moon Palace. Come, come, I'll teach you the Wuxiang Heart Sutra now, but remember, this technique is of great importance and must not be taught to anyone else!"
Hearing this, Wei Xin nodded solemnly.
Heh heh... Great Sage, oh Great Sage, of course, I know the Wuxiang Heart Sutra is extraordinary, but not to teach it to others? You're overthinking it!
I came to the Grand Sky Sect for secrets and techniques! I must inform the Cloud Soar Sect of the Wuxiang Heart Sutra immediately!
The Great Sage didn't say much more. After all, a normal disciple wouldn't casually teach such a technique to others, so there was no need to elaborate. The Great Sage directly passed on the Wuxiang Heart Sutra to Wei Xin.
After the transmission ended, Wei Xin was trembling with excitement.
It truly was the legendary Wuxiang Heart Sutra... Even someone as untalented as I, Wei Xin, could forcibly improve by ten percent!
The Great Sage's methods are indeed terrifying.
Wei Xin suddenly felt that his previously dark future had become bright.
The Wuxiang Heart Sutra, and the Great Sage even promised to give me better techniques in the future?
For a moment, Wei Xin even began to wonder why he didn't choose to stay in the Grand Sky Sect.
Does the identity of a spy for the Cloud Soar Sect sound so grand?
I've been doing it for fifteen years, but what has the Cloud Soar Sect ever given me? Just empty promises...
But the Grand Sky Sect truly gave me techniques... and a future... Senior Brother Xinghe doesn't seem as bad as Ling Su said...
Although sending me to the Dark Moon Palace was cruel, the senior brothers there weren't doing it on purpose... They were just being themselves, so what was wrong with that? So, in a way, Senior Brother Xinghe really gave me a chance!
Senior Brother Xinghe is virtuous, no doubt about it!
And during these days in the Grand Sky Sect, Wei Xin felt it was a hundred times better than the Cloud Soar Sect.
So why choose the Cloud Soar Sect when there's something stronger?
Even though I joined the Cloud Soar Sect as a child, what has it given me? Fifteen years of being a spy?
For a moment, Wei Xin was confused...
But this confusion didn't last long before it dissipated. There's no way... if I really stayed in the Grand Sky Sect, with the Cloud Soar Sect's nature, wouldn't they immediately expose me as a spy, and then I'd be roasted by the Ouyang Family...
Once a spy, it's as deep as the sea, and there's no turning back.
That night, after intense inner conflict, Wei Xin activated a secret channel and sent the Wuxiang Heart Sutra to the Cloud Soar Sect via a spirit bird. For some reason... Wei Xin felt a pang of guilt at that moment.
But it was just a moment. Wei Xin knew he was a spy and had to stay true to his beliefs!
I, Wei Xin, am a steadfast spy! I belong to the Cloud Soar Sect!
Heaven bless the... ahem... Heaven bless the Cloud Soar!
The spirit bird flew all the way to the Cloud Soar Sect, where Ling Su had been overwhelmed with the recruitment of disciples.
Chu Xinghe, you bastard, although I have no evidence to prove it's you targeting our Cloud Soar Sect, no one else could be so despicable!
Just as Ling Su was fuming, a spirit bird flew in.
Ling Su frowned and opened the message. Upon seeing its contents, all his worries vanished!
The Wuxiang Heart Sutra!
It was the Wuxiang Heart Sutra from the Grand Sky Sect!
This was news from Wei Xin!
Although I asked Wei Xin to find a way to get the Wuxiang Heart Sutra a few days ago, I never expected Wei Xin to be so efficient!
Truly worthy of being our Cloud Soar Sect's spy... Wei Xin has made a great contribution this time!
For such a significant achievement, let's grant Wei Xin the title of the top spy!
Of course, since Wei Xin is a spy, this title can only be told to him privately and not announced publicly.
As for other rewards... we'll see!
Ling Su didn't report the Wuxiang Heart Sutra to Sect Master Xing Yushen. Although the Cloud Soar Sect didn't take the stage at this Millennium Grand Festival, they did receive a small portion of the Holy Soul inheritance, just not as much as other sects, perhaps because they didn't take the stage.
Using this small portion of the Holy Soul inheritance, Sect Master Xing Yushen began to break through to the Half-Step Martial God, so he was currently in seclusion.
But the Wuxiang Heart Sutra was of great importance, and Ling Su didn't dare delay... Moreover, this matter couldn't be widely publicized.
So Ling Su immediately contacted two of his most trusted elders to come.
When they saw the Wuxiang Heart Sutra, the two elders of the Cloud Soar Sect were shocked!
Without further ado, under Ling Su's arrangement, the two elders began to cultivate the Wuxiang Heart Sutra.
It truly was the legendary divine technique... and even more powerful after being completed!
The two elders cultivated smoothly!
But just as Ling Su was pondering what name to give the Wuxiang Heart Sutra after the elders verified it, an unexpected change occurred...
The two cultivating elders seemed to have Spirit Detonation Orbs installed on them, exploding wildly!
Blood splattered all over Ling Su's face.
After the chaotic explosions ended, the two elders lay on the ground, barely better than dead dogs!
"Great... Elder... there's a problem with this technique..."
Ling Su was dumbfounded; did you even need to say it? I can see there's a problem!
Looking at the Wuxiang Heart Sutra in his hand, Ling Su's first thought was, could Wei Xin have betrayed us?
Impossible! Wei Xin endured fifteen years; how could he suddenly betray us?
So Ling Su's thought was that Wei Xin must have been exposed, and this Wuxiang Heart Sutra was a fake version given by the Grand Sky Sect after discovering Wei Xin was a spy!
Thinking of this, Ling Su broke out in a cold sweat!
No way! If Wei Xin is exposed, we must abandon this pawn, or else if the Grand Sky Sect traces back through this line, won't our Cloud Soar Sect suffer greatly?
So Ling Su immediately cut off all contact with Wei Xin, giving the Grand Sky Sect no chance to catch the Cloud Soar Sect's handle.
After doing all this, Ling Su was filled with grief and indignation!
Wei Xin, oh Wei Xin, our Cloud Soar Sect let you be a spy for fifteen years, and this is how you repay the sect?
You exposed yourself so easily... It's a waste of the opportunity the Cloud Soar Sect gave you to be a spy for fifteen years...
