God Destroying Pearl

As Song Yun went deeper, the surrounding scenery changed quietly. The originally flat land was gradually covered by layers of lush and vibrant green.

The grass leaves are becoming more and more upright, as if each one contains the vitality from deep within the earth. They sway gently in the breeze, emitting a light, fresh fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Just as he was immersed in this tranquility, the faint whispers and laughter from afar broke the silence.

Song Yun swept his spiritual sense over and saw that not far away, beside a clear pond like a mirror, several groups of cultivators from different sects had gathered. There were disciples from the Fiery Flame Sect, the Divine Sword Sect, the Joyous Union Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, and his own Qingyun Sect.

They were either standing or sitting, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity, obviously attracted by some treasure in the pond.

Song Yun noticed that the leaders of several sects, including the Divine Sword Sect, the Joyous Union Sect, and the Beast Taming Sect, were not there at this time.

After walking a few steps forward, Song Yun discovered that in the center of the pond, a dazzling purple jade white lotus was quietly blooming.

This lotus is extraordinary, with crystal clear petals that look like they were carved from purple jade, shining with an enchanting luster in the sun.

What is even more amazing is that in the center of the lotus, seven round and plump lotus seeds emitting a faint glow are clearly visible. They seem to be condensed from the purest essence between heaven and earth, exuding an alluring scent.

"Purple Jade White Lotus!" Song Yun was shocked and immediately recognized that this was a top-grade spiritual medicine.

He had heard that the Purple Jade White Lotus was extremely rare, and its lotus seeds were extremely precious. Each seed contained powerful vitality and repair ability. No matter whether it was a serious injury that was difficult to heal or a damaged face, just one seed could quickly restore it to its original state, or even improve it.

The disciples around were obviously aware of the value of the Purple Jade White Lotus. They were either talking in low voices or staring at the lotus with burning eyes, thinking in their minds how they could pick it.

But the purple jade white lotus grows in the center of the pond and is protected by inexplicable spiritual power fluctuations all around, so it is not easy to pick it easily.

As Song Yun's steady steps gradually approached the pond, the faint spiritual energy emanating from his body, like a breeze blowing across the calm lake, quietly caused subtle changes in the surrounding environment.

At this moment, the disciples of various sects gathered by the pond were originally immersed in their own worlds, some talking in low voices, and some staring at the eye-catching purple jade white lotus in the pond. Although the atmosphere was not tense, they maintained a certain degree of vigilance.

When Song Yun's figure finally appeared in everyone's sight, an inexplicable tense atmosphere instantly spread among the crowd.

The disciples of various sects stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to the new visitor, secretly trying to guess his purpose and identity.

However, the tension did not last long.

As Song Yun approached step by step, the Qingyun Sect uniform on his body gradually became clearly visible. It was a light and elegant green color, like the rising clouds in the mountains, both fresh and unworldly.

Upon seeing this, the tension on the faces of the disciples from various sects gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of relief and indifference.

"So he's from the Qingyun Sect." Someone whispered softly, with a hint of disapproval in his tone.

“Yes, although Qingyun Sect is also a famous sect, but in front of this purple jade white lotus, I am afraid it can only watch helplessly like us.” Another person echoed, his words revealing his desire and helplessness for the purple jade white lotus.

Just like that, Song Yun's arrival caused a brief commotion, but soon everything calmed down.

The disciples of various sects once again turned their attention back to the purple jade white lotus.

Although Song Yun's approach was gentle, it was difficult to escape the sharp perception of Zhang Lie of Qingyun Sect.

As the first person in the Qi Refining Stage of Qingyun Sect, Zhang Lie not only has unfathomable cultivation, but also has a meticulous heart.

His gaze lingered on Song Yun for a moment, and a hint of doubt flashed across his face at first, as if he was surprised by Song Yun's sudden appearance, but this doubt was quickly replaced by a barely perceptible disdain.

However, Zhang Lie was the leader of the Qingyun Sect's secret territory after all. He was well aware of the impact of his words and actions on the sect's disciples, so he quickly suppressed his emotions in his heart, and on the surface he still maintained a calm and restrained appearance.

Song Yun naturally also felt the subtle changes in Zhang Lie, but he did not show anything unusual.

In Qingyun Sect, Zhang Lie won the respect and love of all disciples with his outstanding cultivation, calm personality and extraordinary leadership. However, when Song Yun experienced the valley in the secret realm, he got a glimpse of Zhang Lie's more complicated side.

Song Yun slowly walked into the gathering place of Qingyun Sect disciples. There were thirteen Qingyun Sect disciples here.

He swept his eyes across the crowd and finally landed on Zhang Lie. He clasped his fists lightly and said in a gentle but powerful voice, "Greetings, Senior Brother Zhang."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lie curled up his lips into a gentle smile, a smile that showed concern for his fellow disciples, but also concealed a subtle depth that was difficult to detect.

He bowed slightly in return, and then a trace of concern flashed in his eyes: "Junior Brother Song, since we parted in the valley that day, where have you been these days? I miss you very much."

When Song Yun heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He sighed and said slowly, "Brother Zhang, you may not know that after I left the valley that day, I was besieged by a group of monsters. Those monsters were very powerful, and I barely escaped with all my might. In order to avoid their pursuit, I had to travel to many places, and only today did I accidentally find this place."

As he spoke, Song Yun gently brushed off the dust on his body, as if to show everyone the hardships and difficulties he had gone through along the way.

After hearing this, Zhang Lie's smile faded a little, replaced by a serious and earnest look.

He stepped forward, patted Song Yun on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Song, it is a blessing for the sect that you can return safely. However, you need to be more careful in your future training and never let such dangerous situations happen again."

Song Yun bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother Zhang. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Zhang Lie then said to Song Yun: "You take a rest on the side first."

"Yes."

Then Song Yun walked to the side of the sect disciples, found a slightly dry bluestone, gently brushed off the dust on it, and sat down leisurely.
