The Little Fairy of Glazed Glass
Chapter 156 Returning in Victory
The number of people in the Liuli Immortal Sect is still too small. Training them from the very beginning would be too time-consuming. Rescuing these people can be considered a shortcut. Of course, this shortcut is not easy to take. Many problems will arise, especially the issue of loyalty, which is of great concern to Xianyu Liuli. However, after weighing the pros and cons, Xianyu Liuli still made this bold choice. Her thinking is also good. Even if these people cannot be used by her, they are still so-called righteous cultivators, and they can still be of some help.
However, besides replenishing the sect's disciples, Xianyu Liuli had several other reasons for saving these people. When she first met Li Ling and the others, she had already decided to help them save some people from the original Tianyi Sect. Now that the time was right, she naturally took action.
Besides this, cracking down on evil forces and formally declaring war on evil forces is also one of the goals of Immortal Universe Glazed Plum. After five years of keeping a low profile, it's time for the Glazed Plum Immortal Sect to reveal its true colors. Although doing so is risky, there are many advantages. Only by making a name for itself can it attract more cultivators to join the sect.
It can be said that Xianyu Liuli had made many calculations in this matter. After five years of training, Xianyu Liuli had gradually become more and more shrewd and capable. As the sect leader, she seemed to be more qualified, or rather, she had begun to develop from qualified to excellent.
About three hours after Xianyu Liuli and the others returned to Tianxuan Blessed Land, the second group also returned. More than two thousand disciples of Liuli Immortal Sect, plus tens of thousands of righteous cultivators who had been rescued, entered Tianxuan Illusionary Realm in a grand procession and joined up with Xianyu Liuli and the others.
"Sect Master, we're back!" This time, it was Meng Chu's group that returned. Although there were casualties, they returned safely thanks to their absolute strength!
In reality, there are many powerful demonic and monster cultivators among the evil sects. However, these powerful cultivators do not usually stay in places like Xiaosang Town. On the other hand, the three groups of people dispatched by the Liuli Immortal Sect this time all had Mahayana stage cultivators stationed in each group. Coupled with the well-planned sneak attack, they naturally gained the upper hand very easily.
"Okay, very good. Let's rest first. I'll have someone do the statistics." Xianyu Liuli nodded in satisfaction. Li Ling, Long Fengxiao, and the others had worked extremely hard over the years, and their cultivation had improved rapidly. She felt very reassured no matter what they did.
Two hours later, Venerable Changliu's group returned to Tianxuan Blessed Land. The reason they returned the latest was not because they encountered any difficulties, but because they were the furthest away. However, the number of casualties was still in the triple digits. They returned with a group of tattered prisoners, which also marked the successful end of this rescue operation!
Among the people brought back by Venerable Changliu, Li Ling and the others were overjoyed to discover that Situ Aoyu was indeed among them. Immediately, Li Ling and the others gathered together, almost bursting into tears of joy.
Xianyu Liuli had been watching the rescued cultivators. The three groups of people rescued a total of more than 40,000 people, which was more than four times the number of the entire Liuli Immortal Sect. The vast majority of these people were cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Nine Profound Sect, the Spirit Sword Sect, and the Three Refinements Heaven Sect. There were also a very small number of people who were captured from who-knows-where, and even a few demonic cultivators and monster cultivators were mixed in. When they were all together, it looked like a big hodgepodge.
Calling it a hodgepodge is an understatement; in reality, the scene in the Heavenly Mystery Realm at this moment looks more like a gathering of the Beggars' Sect, assuming, of course, that there is also a Beggars' Sect on the Yan Yu Continent.
The Glazed Immortal Sect had too few disciples and too many righteous cultivators rescued. Although these cultivators looked extremely disheveled, that was just an appearance. Immortal Glazed noticed the calculating and sinister look in the eyes of some people. She was certain that if these people's cultivation was restored, her Glazed Immortal Sect would not be able to rest. Therefore, although she brought these people back, she did not immediately give them the antidote.
While her disciples were busy compiling information on the rescued cultivators, Xianyu Liuli led the sect's higher-ups in a post-battle meeting, primarily to discuss the resettlement of the rescued personnel.
“We’ve discussed this issue many times. Since they are all righteous cultivators, why can’t we absorb them all into our sect? They are all hostile to the evil sects and are definitely a force that cannot be ignored. We cannot give up on them!” Venerable Changliu was a somewhat rigid person with a stubborn mindset. He believed that good and evil could not coexist. This was the reason why he initially supported Xianyu Liuli. Now, facing these tens of thousands of righteous cultivators, he naturally did not want to give up on them.
"They are hostile to the evil sects, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can all be brought under their control. Those who are disobedient or have ulterior motives are better left unused." Zhaixing is both righteous and evil, but he never believes that all so-called righteous cultivators are good.
"I agree with Zhaixing's words. These people must be tested before they can stay!" Yingyue also stood on her sister's side this time. She had also carefully observed the expressions of these people. Many of them had shifty and gloomy eyes, and some were numb, dull and desperate. These people were not good candidates. She would not agree to bring such people into the sect. Not only would it not increase the sect's strength, but it would also destroy the entire sect!
"It's not that I disagree with the test, but isn't the test you set too harsh?" Venerable Changliu explained. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that some of the people rescued were not suitable to stay.
"Is it harsh? It's still better than them being imprisoned as slaves by the evil sect, isn't it?" Xianyu Liuli spoke coldly, showing no intention of backing down. After all, she was the one who suggested this method of testing, so why would she deny her own suggestion?
Upon hearing Xianyu Liuli's words, Venerable Changliu couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart. Knowing that nothing he said would make a difference, he remained silent. Although five years of getting along wasn't a long time, everyone had gained a relatively deep understanding of Xianyu Liuli's personality. When she spoke in this tone, it meant that the matter had already been decided, and no matter what others said, it was useless.
"Since everyone agrees, then this matter will be decided." As expected, Xianyu Liuli quickly made a decision.
What kind of trial did Xianyu Liuli propose? With the Heavenly Profound Illusionary Realm as a powerful weapon, how could Xianyu Liuli be reluctant to use it? However, what she wanted to test was not just a simple illusionary trial, but the highest level of mental state trial that she could open after mastering the Heavenly Profound Blessed Land—the Ten Days Ten Desires Refining Heart Mirror!
The Ten Days, Ten Desires Refining Heart Mirror—the name itself reveals the form of this trial: ten days, ten changes of desires, using the mirror to reflect on oneself, and one's heart to examine oneself. It tests almost all of a person's emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, love, hate, resentment, hatred, and grief. Xianyu Liuli had once taken a Ten Desires Refining Soul Pill and personally experienced the wonder and cruelty of this mental transformation, which is why she decided to use this trial to test these rescued people.
Of course, whether or not to participate in this trial is a matter of personal choice for these people. However, only those who participate and pass the trial will receive the antidote prepared by Xianyu Liuli. As for the others, it is none of her business.
Don't say that Xianyu Liuli is cold-hearted and heartless, refusing to help those in distress. These people weren't in any real danger to begin with, and it was she who led the rescue team after they were imprisoned. That's definitely a good thing. You can't expect her to feed someone you rescue and take them home. It wasn't easy for her to build a sect with such hard work; she doesn't have the extra resources to support idle people.
Forty-two thousand people—this number is very tempting, but Xianyu Liuli estimates that if more than one-fifth of them can pass the test, it will be an extremely difficult thing. According to her estimate, it is very likely that only one-tenth of the people will remain in the end, and that is only if they pass the simplest level.
Although it is the Heart Refining Illusion Realm, the standards for testing everyone in the Immortal Universe Glazed Glass are still somewhat different, and the final passing level is divided into three categories: qualified, good, and excellent. This can also be used to classify people so that those who pass can obtain a more suitable position and resources for their cultivation based on their own potential.
Having made her decision, Xianyu Liuli stood before the more than 40,000 people once again, letting countless complex gazes fall upon her, yet she remained aloof and arrogant, as if standing above them all, looking down upon them!
"I am Xianyu Liuli, the sect leader of the Liuli Immortal Sect. You were rescued by us. I don't need your gratitude. Now, you only need to make a choice: stay and join the Liuli Immortal Sect after passing the trial, or leave and never meet again. Now, you can choose." Xianyu Liuli's words were always so concise that they made people feel a little uncomfortable, but whether others felt comfortable or not was never something Xianyu Liuli cared about.
As soon as Xianyu Liuli finished speaking, a commotion erupted after a moment of silence. Protests and questions filled the room, making it as noisy as a marketplace. Even those who had been holding back their words changed their expressions, and many of them looked at Xianyu Liuli with hostility. The doubts and dissatisfaction in their eyes were palpable even without looking at them.
"You little brat, what gives you the right to say that? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to stand here and speak?" This was a questioning voice that relied on the seniority of the elders.
"We've all been poisoned, and our cultivation has been suppressed. Can you help us recover?" This was an inquiry about whether there was any profit to be made.
"Joining a sect requires trials? What kind of trials are they? What are the requirements after joining a sect? Could you explain it more clearly?"
Various questions and doubts arose, but Xianyu Liuli coldly glanced at everyone without offering any explanation.
