Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Little Ximo clenched his little fists and vowed earnestly.

Xun Xian: "..."

Yuan’Er: "..."

Jiunuan: "..."

Then came the standard adult words: "You’re still young. You’ll understand when you grow up."

What remained was Little Ximo’s bewildered expression. Why are so many things only understandable when you’re grown up? It’s so strange!

He added, "No matter how much I grow, I’ll never catch up to Sister Yuan’Er."

Everyone: "..."

Yuan’Er laughed awkwardly: "Children shouldn’t speak such blunt truths."

Jiunuan glanced down at the water, then remained silent with a black line across his face, while Xun Xian burst into laughter.

...

In the monastery of the Cloud Descending Sect, Yuchi was sitting on the rooftop, looking at the painting card in his hand.

Every day he checks the status of Yin Shuang over here, but Yin Shuang remains unchanged, sitting motionlessly within the painting card. If he hadn’t recently gone through the Spiritual Painting Avatar’s breeding manual to confirm that there was no issue with Yin Shuang, he would’ve seriously suspected that Yin Shuang had already attained complete peace.

Of course.

This kind of thing is rather dull. Staying at Cloud Descending Sect was refreshing initially, but the novelty soon wore off.

A remote and desolate temple.

Within the temple, a small path led out to some small villages. People come and go, praying for something.

Trying to find disciples under such circumstances is harder than ascending to the heavens. After pondering, it’s indeed been a while since a new disciple was found, primarily because Yuchi doesn’t want to fill Ascension Gate with too many people, leading to random recruitment where he can’t even remember the disciples’ names.

It had been a week since he eliminated a Cultivator of the sixth level of the Core Formation Stage. During these seven days, Yuchi had picked up several abandoned storage rings. He was quite curious about why there were so many homeless storage rings outside Cloud Descending Sect. These storage rings were so pitiful!

Originally, it was two and a half million.

Recently, after collecting some storage rings, it had reached four million. Cloud Descending Sect was still Cloud Descending Sect, where such profits were undeniable; four million was far off from fifty million but at least the disciples of Ascension Gate wouldn’t worry about their supply of Elixirs.

Putting away the painting card, Yuchi leaped down from the rooftop as if returning home, leisurely following a disciple into the sect’s underground.

"About time, I’ve been at Cloud Descending Sect for fifteen days."

"It’s already March."

"And starting yesterday, no disciples from Cloud Descending Sect have returned. It seems they’ve mostly completed their missions and returned to the sect. To ensure nothing goes wrong, I’ll stay for a full month. After a month, if no disciples return, then that’s all for Cloud Descending Sect."

Are there many disciples of Cloud Descending Sect? Not many, only a hundred or so in total, but because the sect doesn’t rely on Outer Disciples for income, they make money by killing others, so their disciples are each more formidable, wealthy individuals.

Quite impressive.

Now, following the disciple into the mountain cave of Cloud Descending Sect, several disciples had already gathered, looking somewhat anxious.

"The current situation is like this."

"We have two commissions in Jiangzhou City: one to kill some people from Immortal Robe Pavilion, the other to assassinate Chen Weiran."

"For the people of Immortal Robe Pavilion, we initially sent two people. Later, having no choice, we sent a Core Formation Stage sixth-level disciple. But after both batches went to Jiangzhou City, there was no news; we totally lost track of them."

"As for Chen Weiran, similarly, two groups were sent over time, even the strongest at the ninth level of Core Formation Stage, but the result was the same as with Immortal Robe Pavilion—both groups have not responded at all, as if they suddenly vanished into thin air."

"Of course, if these occurrences were limited to Jiangzhou City, it wouldn’t be a major issue. But unfortunately, the same thing is happening elsewhere; they disappear without a trace, never returning to Cloud Descending Sect again."

Once someone shared this information, the others were lost for words. This was unprecedented for Cloud Descending Sect—they couldn’t fulfill a commission, not because the commission was difficult, but rather because it seemed simple. Was it free, or were they the ones giving away for free?

Amidst the silence, a disciple suddenly suggested: "Could someone be secretly hunting our existence at Cloud Descending Sect?"

He looked around, and the surrounding disciples instantly fell into fear. They were used to hunting others, but now the tables had turned, and others were hunting them. Such abrupt changes were hard to accept, and adjusting their mindset wouldn’t be quick.
