The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 502: Chapter 263 Halt, Visitor_1

Within the Liu Yun Sect, the news of Lin Yi completing his seclusion and issuing his first order, prohibiting the disciples of the Hua Yang Lineage from entering the Yun Yi Lineage, spread rapidly, leading to a flurry of discussion.

This was essentially a clash between old and new Golden Core cultivators. When Yun Yi Zen Ren was still a struggling cultivator, Hua Yang Zhen Ren had already achieved his Golden Core, and held unlimited prestige.

A hundred and sixty-seven years have passed, and Lin Yi, the former Outer Sect Disciple with lower-grade spiritual roots, who many presumed would never achieve Golden Core in his lifetime, broke through imposing barriers and became a Golden Core Real Person.

As for Hua Yang Zhen Ren, his lifespan of five hundred years was dwindling, with around one hundred years left. Although he is at the stage of Golden Core Perfection, it’s rumored that he has yet to form a Nascent Soul, leaving it unclear when he will become a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

One is on the brink of old age without a Nascent Soul in sight, while the other achieved the Golden Core before turning two hundred, in his prime.

The difference in their relationship networks within Liu Yun Sect is even more pronounced. Hua Yang Zhen Ren, a Golden Core from outside, never fully integrated into Liu Yun Sect, with only Wan Jun Zen Ren as his ally.

On Yun Yi Zen Ren’s side, he had four Golden Core Real Persons from the same lineage, including his master, Golden Sword Zen Ren, who was rumored to have formed his Nascent Soul. Within a hundred years, he would surely evolve from a Golden Core to become the second Nascent Soul True Monarch of Liu Yun Sect.

What’s more, many cultivators within Liu Yun Sect were aware of the actions of the Hua Yang Lineage disciples, who went to Yun Yi Peak to snatch disciples.

In comparison to Yun Yi Zen Ren, Hua Yang Zhen Ren was inferior in age, relationship network, and even character. The only advantage he held was his late Golden Core Stage cultivation level.

Through these analyses, many disciples within Liu Yun Sect believed that this order was likely irreversible, considering Hua Yang Lineage was essentially at fault, and Sect Master Qing Yu Zen Ren would prioritize the bigger picture.

Angering Yun Yi Zen Ren meant offending four Golden Core Real Persons and the soon-to-be Nascent Soul Golden Sword Zen Ren. The gravity of such an act was apparent to everyone.

Furthermore, Yun Yi Zen Ren possessed a unique talent for teaching disciples and had grand plans of expanding and strengthening Yun Yi Peak, while it seemed Hua Yang Zhen Ren regarded the Liu Yun Sect merely as a source of resources.

When this news reached the Hua Yang Lineage, all its disciples were stunned. Yun Yi Zen Ren was being too overbearing, they thought. Not even a few disciples were taken away, yet he directly forbid them from entering Yun Yi Lineage.

They had heard that Yun Yi Zen Ren, before achieving Golden Core, used to be very modest and friendly. Had his confidence inflated after achieving Golden Core? Their master, Hua Yang, had achieved Golden Core two hundred years before him!

The Golden Core Real Persons within the Liu Yun Sect were among the first to hear the news. While Golden Sword Zen Ren was still in seclusion contemplating on the Nascent Soul Realm, the other two Real Persons of the Golden Sword Lineage didn’t voice any opinion. They believed that this minor issue of snatching disciples can easily be handled by Lin Yi alone, without their involvement.

After all, Hua Yang Zhen Ren still belonged to Liu Yun Sect. One could hardly force him to leave.

Sect Master Qing Yu Zen Ren merely smiled upon hearing the news, making no further move. It wasn’t time for him to step in yet.

In his view, the Hua Yang Lineage had indeed crossed the line. Yun Yi Zen Ren had only recently achieved Golden Core and had managed to attract a few disciples. However, seven of them were abruptly taken away by the Hua Yang Lineage, which was an overt provocation.

He decided to wait and see how Hua Yang Zhen Ren would react before deciding upon his own course of action.

Hua Yang Zhen Ren, like his disciples, was incredulous when he received the news. As a Golden Core Real Person and a Sect Master, he would never command others to snatch disciples. However, he was aware that his disciples were doing it, but he didn’t halt their actions.

Unexpectedly, over such a trivial matter, Lin Yi had issued an order prohibiting the Hua Yang Lineage disciples from entering without giving a chance for a peaceful resolution. This was quite arrogant, he thought.

Regardless of his earlier achievement of the Golden Core, he should receive respect as a senior. If this were in the past, he would have retaliated by forbidding Yun Yi Lineage disciples from entering his domain. But a confrontation with the Liu Yun Sect was not what he wanted at this point. He needed to act low-key.

Thus, Hua Yang Zhen Ren personally took the seven poached disciples to Yun Yi Peak to apologize. Initially, he planned to send a disciple who had reached the perfect stage of Foundation Establishment. But, he changed his plan, intending to express his sincerity by going in person.

As soon as Hua Yang Zhen Ren took off with the seven disciples, the news spread rapidly.

At this moment, both the Golden Core Real Persons and disciples of various peaks were keenly observing how the situation would develop, particularly the disciples near Yun Yi Lineage, who quickly flew to nearby peaks to witness the possible drama.

Zhou Yun Feng and Qi Jing Yu were prepared to fly in and support their younger brother at a moment’s notice. If conflicts did occur, they would arrive in a flash. However, before any conflict, they didn’t deem it appropriate to step into Yun Yi Lineage. After all, their junior brother was now a Sect Master and shouldn’t be overly intruded into.

Sect Master Qing Yu Zen Ren was also prepared to intervene at any time. At the end of the day, they were all part of the same sect, and the occurrence of conflicts was not ideal. Although as the Sect Master, he had to maintain fairness, he was naturally more familiar with Lin Yi, a Golden Core Real Person of the Sect.
