I Just Want to Live Peacefully
Chapter 18: Vision and Traveling

Jiuyang Sect seemed harmonious, but Jiang Ming knew there was a current of tension beneath the surface.

For example, Chuyang Peak and Gu Hai were no strangers to impeachment. Others wanted to remove him from his post in the First Seat. If not for the support of the Jiaoyang Peak, the persistence of the Chuyang Peak, and the help of the Sect Master, Gu Hai would have already been removed from his post long ago.

At this moment, all the other First Chairs were trying to recruit Linglong to their side.

Suddenly, the eleventh floor lit up, causing everyone to gasp in shock. As they recovered from the shock, their eyes shone brightly. This was especially true for Hao Chen, the First Seat of Shaoyang Peak. He was the youngest First Chair, and when he cleared the 11th floor of the Tower of Trials back then, he had experienced explosive growth. His cultivation base had passed through the Purple Mansion Realm and the Dao Seed Realm, directly ascending to the Nascent Soul Realm. With that, he was on par with the Sect Master. There were even rumors circulating that he was, in fact, stronger than the Sect Master in terms of combat power.

Now that there was another outstanding disciple like Hao Chen, everyone naturally wished they could recruit him to their side.

On the other hand, Jiang Ming was unsure how many people in the Jiuyang Sect were at Nascent Soul realm. After all, he was also surprised by Linglong's strength. He thought inwardly happily, ‘Linglong is truly amazing! Not considering myself, he must be the most powerful disciple of our generation. In fact, he was likely the second best in the entire history of the sect!’

Jiang Ming felt happy, proud, and satisfied as Senior Brother Linglong. As he looked at the Test Tower, he wondered if he would be able to successfully clear the twelfth floor.

Holy hooch!

The Human Path Note appeared and opened Zi Linglong's page.

Name: Zi Linglong

Female sex

Cultivation base: Golden Core Realm.

Background: Disciple of the Peak Chuyang Sect Jiuyang.

Relationship: 95.

Status: He had awakened the phoenix bloodline, expelled Linghu Yin, cultivated intensively, and destroyed the cultivation base of Jia Guang and Linghu Yin. Right now, he was challenging the Tower of Trials. He had made it through the first floor, the second floor.

Zi Linglong was still at the Golden Core Realm, and he had yet to enter an extreme condition. Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised by this. ‘Is the phoenix bloodline so powerful? He could even challenge cultivators with higher cultivation bases.’

The value of their relationship remained unchanged, and her status included what was happening now.

At this moment, without any warning, a row of words suddenly appeared under his status: Using a phoenix bloodline spell to pass through the twelfth floor of the Examination Tower.

…

The 12th Floor of the Test Tower.

Zi Linglong frowned slightly as he stood before the stone door. He knew he needed the strength from cultivating the Fourth Extreme Gold Core at least to pass through this floor. Moreover, he also needed a powerful spell.

He knew many powerful spells, more than the Jiuyang Sect knew. However, the spells he could use were limited as he could not use spells that were not from Peak Chuyang. It was important that he kept his knowledge secret.

“Should I use my Sambodha? No, it would attract too much attention and expose everyone to a heart attack.” Zi Linglong shook his head.

He has a powerful spell. He had more than the Jiuyang Sect collectively had. However, he could not use any other spell other than the one Chuyang Peak had. It was a power that only Dao Seed cultivators possessed. Some peerless geniuses could manage it, but he would not be able to avoid suspicion if he used it because of his age.

His spell mastery can be explained by his extraordinary talent, high comprehension skills, and his phoenix bloodline. However, if he were to use Sambodha, the others would definitely not be able to accept it. If he was in his 20s, he could get away with using some of his skills. As of now, it was too early for him to reveal his skills.

In just the blink of an eye, a bright red light lit up as a terrifying energy wave swept out.

Buzz!

The Tower of Trials trembled slightly. It was as if it was having trouble withstanding the terrifying energy.

Stripes of red light escaped from the Tower of Trials and shone outside. They resonated with the fire element and the power of nature before forming the silhouette of the fire phoenix.

What looked like the phoenix's faint cry also sounded in the air.

The first chair was shocked and disbelieving.

‘Phoenix Sight! Did he use the strength of his phoenix bloodline? Even though she's in the tower, it materialized outside.’ Yue Cheng's eyes burned with greed as he instinctively clenched his hands. ‘This is impossible if all he has is a little trace of the phoenix bloodline. Based on the phoenix strength she possessed, even if she was not a phoenix princess, she should be a direct descendant of a phoenix. He was likely a descendant of humans and phoenixes who fell into the human realm. If this is true.’.

Yue Cheng felt his mouth become dry the more he thought about this matter.

Meanwhile, Gu Hai was also shaken. He looked at the dumbfounded Gu Hai and said, “Old Gu, does he have any family members left?”

Gu Hai shook his head as he regained consciousness. “I was exploring the mainland back then when I found him asleep at the foot of the mountain. When he woke up, the only thing he remembered was his name. I took her with me and spent ten days visiting various villages, small towns, big cities, but we could not find her family. In the end, I took him back to the mountain with me. ”

He activated it inside the tower, but it materialized outside!” The First Seat of Zhiyang Peak, Yue Cheng, was initially shocked, then a strong desire filled his eyes. He even clenched his fists unintentionally. “This cannot be achieved if all he has is a piece of phoenix bloodline on his body. This meant that the power of the phoenix in her .. Even if she was not a phoenix princess, she should be a phoenix descendant. Descendants of humans and phoenixes that fall into the human realm. If this is true.”.

“Any once,” muttered Sect Master to himself. Then, he continued to say in a grim tone, “I think he only has traces of the phoenix bloodline. However, I was clearly wrong because he could make a Vision outside the tower. From today, I will keep her safe by my side and guide her carefully.”

Gu Hai could only smile bitterly after hearing these words. He knows this is the best option. As this news spread, many parties would try to obtain Linglong. Chuyang's peak was in a state of decline, and Zuo Han's death proved that the sect was not as safe as it once was. In the end, he simply nodded helplessly in response to Yan Yan's words.

On the other hand, Jiang Ming was speechless and helpless when he heard this conversation. Will his junior sister be taken away?

At this moment, the twelfth floor of the Test Tower lit up. After which, a small figure shrouded in flames appeared at the top of the tower.

Zi Linglong had been moved to the top of the Tower of Trials after clearing all the floors. A smile could be seen on his face at this moment as he withdrew his energy.

“Excellent,” murmured Jiang Ming while brandishing two thumbs at him.

When Zi Linglong flew down the tower and landed on the ground, he found himself surrounded by Gu Hai and the other First Chairs. All the First Chairs smiled at him.

“That's great.” Jiang Ming smiled faintly. When he looked at his surroundings, he found the surrounding disciples also looked at Zi Linglong with envy. After all, everyone now knew that he was the new star of Jiuyang Sect.

At this moment, Momo walked over and said, amazed, “I didn't know Linglong was so strong! He's only ten years old. I remember I used to carry her in my hands when she was young. I can't believe he grew so strong.”

Zhang Junbao from Chunyang Peak also walked over. He is an amazing and elegant person. A hint of disbelief was visible on his face as he said, “I have been cultivating in seclusion for the past three years and have just emerged from it. It was truly shocking to see the girl who used to bully me for a snack conquering the Tower of Trials! It's shocking!”

“Senior Brother Zhang!” Jiang Ming greeted Zhang Junbao and cupped his fists.

Zhang Yunbao used to frequent Chuyang Peak. He said he liked how lonely Peak was. Back then, he would bring snacks for Linglong whenever he visited. He also smuggled wine to share with Jiang Ming. When Gu Hai found out, he was given a gift.. He was one of the few friends Jiang Ming had in the Jiuyang Sect.
