"You had your reasons, but wrong is wrong, punishnt is inevitable! In the na of the Palace Master of the ’Seven Star Palace’ and Supre Elder of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ I sentence you to kill a hundred Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators from the Demon Dao, Buddhist Sect, and Demon Race within a hundred years! Do you have any objections?"
This was continued by the Palace Master of the ’Seven Star Palace.’
"None! As a disciple, I am willing to accept the punishnt! I will certainly slay the heretical cultivators and bring glory to our ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ and ’Seven Star Palace’!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing’s face brightened.
At this mont, how could he not understand the good intentions of his superior!
It was to eliminate all his hidden dangers!
As long as he accepted this punishnt, he would be exonerated!
Completely cleansed!
All those past issues would be entirely forgotten!
It turned out that his superior did not dislike him but wanted to give him a chance!
"Alright! In that case, on behalf of the sect, I will give you an opportunity."
Seeing that Li Yunjing understood, the Palace Master of ’Seven Star Palace’ eased his expression slightly and continued, "Participate in a resource battle at the frontier! If our side wins, you will be considered to have completed the assessnt for true disciples."
As soon as he said this, before Li Yunjing could respond, the faces of the three seated dignitaries changed.
If earlier the Palace Master had shown signs of leniency, now the pressure was relentless.
The internal assessnt for true disciples in ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ had not been this difficult for a long ti.
Only a few days ago, a young talent from the ’Celestial Craft Hall’ was asked rely to forge a low-grade spiritual artifact for his true disciple assessnt!
But for Li Yunjing, he was directly sent to the frontline!
Can Li Yunjing handle it?
One of the silent young Taoists spoke up, "Brother Qin, isn’t this a bit too difficult?"
"Yes! It is indeed a bit harsh!"
Another dignitary also nodded in agreent.
Finally, an old Taoist laughed, "Young people still need to learn; let’s change his trial!"
Obviously, the three dignitaries thought that Palace Master Qin was being too harsh on his disciple.
"Hehe! Brother Daoists, no need to persuade more!"
The Palace Master of ’Seven Star Palace’ laughed, "Isn’t Li Yunjing skilled in winning battles with lesser strength? Just let him follow the army; I want to see if he truly has any real skills."
Palace Master Qin’s intent was clear; within the Great Ming Dynasty, the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ territory, those battles were child’s play.
Not worthy of showing off.
To see whether a horse is fast, you have to take it out for a run.
The battlefield beyond the borders is the most rigorous testing ground.
Isn’t Li Yunjing quite boastful?
Palace Master Qin just wanted to see how he would perform at the frontier.
From the conversation among the four dignitaries, Li Yunjing also realized the danger of this mission.
He thought carefully and said, "Since it’s an order from the sect, I will do my best to complete it!"
"But I have so doubts, when will the mission start, and will I have to confront Golden Core Realm cultivators?"
At this point, Li Yunjing’s expression beca much more solemn.
"You will wait for further notice; before departure, you will be inford."
Palace Master Qin waved his sleeve and said, "You may leave now."
"Understood!"
Li Yunjing reluctantly bowed to his superior, then to the three other dignitaries, and carefully retreated from the room.
After leaving the small courtyard, Li Yunjing still felt as if he was in a dream.
With Palace Master Qin both coaxing and intimidating, Li Yunjing was truly impressed.
Dignitaries are indeed dignitaries, effortlessly handling him.
This made Li Yunjing feel a sense of urgency; perhaps his cultivation, which was diocre, needed improvent.
anwhile, on his way back, in the small courtyard, the four dignitaries continued their discussion about Li Yunjing.
"Brother Qin, that young fellow was really frightened by you!"
The old Taoist who had been watering flowers chuckled.
"Young people need so scaring; otherwise, their tails would be up in the sky."
Palace Master Qin shook his head slightly.
"It’s fine to scare them, but sending him to the frontline so soon, isn’t it a bit too hasty?"
The young-looking dignitary asked.
"The frontline is in a stalemate; all sides have tacitly agreed not to act rashly. It’s a good ti to train our young ones!"
Palace Master Qin smiled, speaking lightly.
Back in his day, traversing several continents, how many dangers had he experienced?
Only then did he reach his current state.
In the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ it might be safe, but a greenhouse cannot nurture top-tier powerhouses.
Among the ten true disciples of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ many were at the front line.
These individuals were invincible, slaying masters of all paths, their nas resounding throughout the Southern Heaven Continent.
This is the hope of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’
Since Li Yunjing showed promise, he naturally needed to be tested at the front line.
Let’s see if this person, who appeared strong against loose cultivators, was truly formidable against the prodigies of major sects.
Having reviewed Li Yunjing’s profile, Palace Master Qin had high hopes for this genius.
Even if he didn’t advance to Nascent Soul Realm in the future, he was at least a Golden Core Realm potential.
Such a young talent should not lead a comfortable life within ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’
The frontline was the best training ground.
After experiencing several major battles, a person’s deanor would change.
Palace Master Qin hoped Li Yunjing could use the pressure to stimulate his potential further.
This was why he was so strict with Li Yunjing.
"Just in ti, there is a spirit stone mine between us and the ’Yin Mountain Sect.’ Let our subordinates battle it out; obtaining a resource point is also good."
The dignitary who had been silent all along also agreed with the plan.
They all understood Palace Master Qin’s intention, and there wasn’t anything wrong with it.
Li Yunjing’s trivial matters were nothing to Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
As for internal strife?
It depended on the perspectives of the dignitaries; whether it was serious or not was up to them, and naturally, no one would dare to pursue it if deed non-serious.
The ’Seven Star Palace’s punishnt had already been issued, representing the will of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’
Even if soone reported to the ’Law Enforcent Hall,’ no one would care.
All of Li Yunjing’s issues were in the past.
No one would bring them up again.
...
After leaving the dignitaries, Li Yunjing did not return to ’Qiuwu Manor’ but went to the ’Council Hall’ to find Xu Wuyi and inford him of the matter.
"I see! Don’t worry! Your talent is excellent, and the Palace Master is willing to back you, so have faith!"
Upon hearing Li Yunjing’s account, Xu Wuyi nodded affirmatively.
Such incidents were common in the history of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’ Young disciples were often aggressive, holding grudges that resulted in deadly rivalries.
’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ naturally did not permit such occurrences.
However, special circumstances sotis required turning a blind eye.
Especially when it involved a genius loyal to the sect.
Such people were sure to be favored by ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ and wouldn’t be easily punished.
Li Yunjing’s punishnt seed severe, to kill a hundred Foundation Establishnt Realm enemies.
This would seem a daunting task to complete.
But once he reached the frontier battlefield, Li Yunjing would understand what it ant by Qi Refining Realm cultivators everywhere, and Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators were as common as dogs.
In such a battlefield, after a few major battles, as long as he survived, he would quickly gather the heads.
At the frontier, not every force was as mighty as ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’
There were fewer than ten powerful sects; the other participants were mostly large sects and clans.
As long as Li Yunjing was smart and careful, he would find so easy targets.
When Li Yunjing finished listening to Xu Wuyi’s advice, he suddenly understood, and heaved a sigh of relief.
All along, Li Yunjing had no real comprehension of the frontier battlefield.
Now, he finally had so clear impressions.
