Her talent and strength were already legendary at the Heavenly Thunder Platform. It is said that her talent was even better than that of a single-spiritual-root cultivator, and her strength far surpassed that of cultivators of the same level. Her swordsmanship was so powerful that it was unparalleled in the world, and she was even able to assist Lu Jingyun and Li Wuwang in defeating Zhao Qianyue, who was at the Golden Core stage.

Such strength is far beyond the reach of ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

However, Lin Yitang did not care about such a reputation.

Because she is a Dharma cultivator from the Taique Sect, not some rogue cultivator who claims to be a sword cultivator. No matter how powerful or legendary the rumors are, would she dare to show her face and admit it?

Moreover, in the cultivation city at the foot of Taique Sect Mountain, she received good news from Li Lingxuan.

That is the return of Daoist Xuanhui!

For Lin Yitang, the return of Daoist Xuanhui was undoubtedly fantastic news. Daoist Xuanhui was her strongest backer; with him around, who would dare to provoke her?

She can practically roam freely in the cultivation world!

Previously, when Daoist Xuanhui was away on a mission, those inner disciples dared to be so arrogant.

Upon learning of Xuanhui Daojun's return, Lin Yitang and Li Wuwang hurriedly returned to their sect.

Upon entering the sect, Li Wuwang excitedly looked around, exclaiming as he walked, "It's been so long since I've been back! The sect is still so beautiful! I missed it!"

Lin Yitang smiled as she looked at Li Wuwang.

She suppressed her cultivation to the tenth level of Qi Refining. Li Wuwang noticed this and asked in confusion, "Junior Sister, why did you do that?"

Lin Yitang replied calmly, "That's all I wanted to do." She didn't explain further, and Li Wuwang didn't ask any more questions either, simply glossing over the matter.

They took out their disciple tokens, showed them to the gatekeepers, and then entered the territory of the Taique Sect. Upon entering, they saw many young disciples bustling about. The youngest was only six or seven years old, and the oldest was no more than thirteen or fourteen.

Some disciples were doing tasks, just like Lin Yitang had done before, watering and feeding spirit beasts. Other disciples were sparring and exchanging skills; although their techniques were still immature, they were all very serious.

When the younger disciples saw Lin Yitang return, their eyes lit up. Someone excitedly shouted, "Senior Sister Lin is here!" Immediately afterward, a large group of younger disciples surrounded her, their faces filled with excitement and admiration.

They shouted all at once, "Hello, Senior Sister Lin!" "Senior Sister Lin has finally emerged from seclusion!"

Lin Yitang was taken aback when she saw these young faces, but she quickly realized what was going on.

These must be the new disciples accepted at the last Taique Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony. It's been almost three months since they entered the sect, and if their talent isn't particularly bad, they should have already completed the Qi Induction process. No wonder they are all Qi Refining cultivators.

She suddenly remembered the news that Li Lingxuan regularly reported to her. Due to the role of the alliance, she hadn't inquired about the situation within the sect during the month she had been training outside; Li Lingxuan had been managing everything.

It is said that Ye Qiuli's faction has been trying to target her, spreading rumors and slander. However, due to Li Lingxuan's skillful management, the alliance has grown stronger and has more manpower than Ye Qiuli's, so Ye Qiuli's plan has never succeeded.

Therefore, Lin Yitang's reputation within the sect is improving. There are no new scandals, and old rumors are no longer being brought up. Most importantly, Lin Yitang's strength is undeniable, and many people within the sect currently have a good impression of her.

These new disciples had an excellent impression of Lin Yitang. She was a personal disciple of Thousand Paths Peak and the strongest cultivator in the Qi Refining stage. Most importantly, it was Lin Yitang who brought them from the mortal world or the cultivation world to the sect!

In their eyes, Lin Yitang was the benefactor who led them onto the path of immortality. Many of them were even rescued by Lin Yitang from their parents, so naturally they regarded Lin Yitang as the most reliable and closest person in the sect.

Their eyes were full of excitement. They rushed over, chattering excitedly:

"Senior Sister Lin, you're finally out of seclusion! We heard you've been in seclusion for the past two weeks, and we've been waiting for you for so long!"

"I heard that you reached the tenth level of Qi Refining when you were sixteen years old, and broke through to the fifth level within a year. This has never happened before in the cultivation world. You are truly amazing!"

"Senior Sister Lin, you are a personal disciple of True Monarch Xuanhui of Thousand Peaks, and you are proficient in many advanced spells. Could you teach us?"

"Senior Sister Lin, you are now the strongest Qi Refining cultivator in the Tai Que Sect! We all admire you so much!"

Hearing the endless praise from these young disciples, Lin Yitang felt a warmth in her heart.

A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips. These new disciples reminded her of her younger self, who was just as naive.

"I am unworthy of everyone's praise," Lin Yitang said with a smile. "I just embarked on the path of cultivation a little earlier than you all. Each of you can achieve this level, as long as you don't get lost and maintain your original intention to cultivate well."

"Senior Sister Lin, thank you for bringing me into the world of cultivation. You gave me the opportunity to become an immortal!"

A little girl said timidly to Lin Yitang.

"I was rescued by my senior sister from my terrible parents. If it weren't for you, I might not be here anymore..."

Lin Yitang patted her head and said, "It's because you never gave up resisting that you got this opportunity. The path to immortality is full of setbacks, and you can only make progress by overcoming them."

Li Wuwang was stunned by the words of his junior disciples.

It wasn't because of Lin Yitang's high reputation; in his eyes, it was perfectly normal for his junior sister to be loved by everyone, as her personality and strength had already won over everyone.

What truly shocked him were the remarkable achievements of Lin Yitang as described by his junior disciples.

At the age of sixteen, he had already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, and within a year he broke through to the fifth level. This was simply an unheard-of speed of genius!

Li Wuwang himself was a cultivation prodigy, but he only reached the tenth level of Qi Refining around the age of twenty. It's worth noting that breaking through to Foundation Establishment before the age of twenty is considered top-tier in the cultivation world. Lin Yitang, on the other hand, looks quite young now, definitely not over twenty.

What surprised him even more was that Lin Yitang was also proficient in various advanced spells and was the strongest Qi Refining cultivator in the Taique Sect!

This title wasn't earned easily; it represented Lin Yitang's absolute dominance among cultivators of the same level. As one of the three major sects in the cultivation world, the Taique Sect gathered a large number of geniuses. To stand out among them and become number one was no ordinary feat!

Li Wuwang's heart was in turmoil as he stared at Lin Yitang in disbelief. In his memory, Lin Yitang had always been a junior sister with outstanding talent and great strength. But he had never imagined that her strength was to this extent.

After bidding farewell to the junior disciples, Li Wuwang couldn't help but ask Lin Yitang, "Junior Sister, I didn't expect you to have broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining at the age of sixteen. No wonder Peak Master Xuanhui took a liking to you. I'm curious, how old are you now?"
