The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

In the following period, Lin Yitang once again entered into a period of intense seclusion.

Meanwhile, her actions during the Four Arts Competition spread throughout the cultivation world, and the matter escalated again for several days.

This grand competition of the four arts produced many famous alchemists, talisman makers, weapon refiners, and array masters. Those who ranked at the top of the competition became famous in the cultivation world, and no one dared to ignore them. Even when they met them on the road, they would respectfully call them "masters".

There's an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: masters of the Four Arts are not to be trifled with, because truly top-tier masters are even rarer than those at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages. The circle is so small; offending one easily offends an entire group.

Moreover, you never know when you might need their help. If you lack magical treasures, talismans, or elixirs, you'll have to turn to these people. If you don't have the resources yourself, but others do, you could easily meet a gruesome end.

The world of cultivation is such a cruel place.

Ye Qiuli cheated in this competition and lost her qualification. Otherwise, if she had won first place, her status might not have been much worse than Lin Yitang's.

The Four Arts Competition, which was the focus of attention throughout the entire cultivation world, also brought fame to the Taique Sect.

For no other reason than that this year's Taique Sect disciples have performed exceptionally well and achieved outstanding results!

A series of top-three finishes is an unprecedented feat in the history of any sect.

Although the three major sects are called the three major sects, they are only ranked in the top three in terms of overall strength. They may not necessarily be the best in their respective fields. The Four Arts Competition is generally the venue for disciples of smaller sects who specialize in one of the arts, such as the Alchemy Sect, Talisman Sect, Weaponry Sect, and Array Sect.

These sects are actually among the top 100 sects in the cultivation world, and they are powerful, but they are not good at fighting.

The three major sects occasionally have disciples who surpass those of the other sects, but it is rare for them to surpass each other in every aspect. Therefore, the Taique Sect has managed to turn the tide in this conflict.

Although there are still ten years until the next disciple recruitment conference, many people are already planning to send their children into the Taique Sect. This is the advantage of a famous sect.

Along with Liu Yihang, Min Jingyuan, Xu Xiping, Huang Jibai, and others, they also became celebrities in the cultivation world, enjoying great popularity.

This is also the most famous of the new generation of disciples of Taique Sect since Lin Yitang, no longer relying solely on Lin Yitang.

Of course, besides this generation, the previous generation, including Fan Niannian, Ling Nianyan, and Li Wuwang, were already famous. Fan Niannian was renowned for her potion-making skills from the Foundation Establishment stage, and the latter two also entered the ranks of elite disciples.

However famous he may be, he can't compare to Lin Yitang.

The most prominent figures in the entire cultivation world right now are not those who have emerged victorious from the Four Arts Competition, nor a few elite disciples, nor even Nascent Soul cultivators.

It was Lin Yitang.

Because of this battle for the top spot!

This was also the first sparring match that attracted even more attention than the Four Arts Competition. It would have been fine if it had just been a challenge against the top players on the leaderboard, but the key point was that Lin Yitang comprehended the Great Dao Cone Form in this competition.

This is the most important!

A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator comprehended the cone shape of the Dao; such talent terrified everyone.

This not only demonstrates her exceptional aptitude on a particular path, but also shows that aptitude alone is not enough to master the cone shape. Another condition for mastering the cone shape of the Dao is immense personal strength; otherwise, even if one forcibly grasps the Dao, one will suffer a backlash and be reduced to dust.

This is why most people can only comprehend the Dao at the late Golden Core stage. If they comprehend the Dao too early, their own strength will be unable to withstand it, and they will be crushed by the power of the Great Dao, resulting in serious injury or even death.

Lin Yitang, having just entered the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, not only ranked among the top on the Earth Ranking but also stepped into the half-step Nascent Soul realm.

This potential terrifies everyone!

Yes, after the duel in the arena, Tianji Pavilion analyzed Lin Yitang's strength and assigned her a precise ranking.

It ranked third on the local list.

They successfully entered the top three.

Although Lin Yitang only defeated cultivators ranked in the forties on the Earth Ranking, she mastered the Dao Cone Form, so the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion judged that her strength was enough to rank in the top three on the Earth Ranking.

This is the terrifying aspect of the cone-shaped Tao!

It's just that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion didn't know Lin Yitang had another path, otherwise she would definitely have made it onto the Heavenly Ranking.

Even so, Lin Yitang's name reached the ears of the high-ranking members of various sects, attracting everyone's attention.

Why does Tianji Pavilion rank Golden Core cultivators?

It's all about determining who will be stronger after attaining enlightenment.

Because the Dao is a power amplifier, the stronger the Golden Core is, the stronger one will be after attaining the Dao. Therefore, the Golden Core can be used to determine the strength of the Nascent Soul.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, no more resources are needed for cultivation; it all depends on comprehension. There are no fixed minor stages within the Nascent Soul stage. However, there is no doubt that those currently powerful in the Golden Core stage will be even stronger than other normal Nascent Soul cultivators once they reach the Nascent Soul stage.

This is also why everyone previously hindered Ming Yijun's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage; Ming Yijun was ranked in the top fifty of the Heavenly Ranking before his faked death. Although he hasn't made a move yet, he must be very strong.

Not to mention Lin Yitang, who entered the Earth Ranking as soon as she reached the Golden Core stage.

If this person successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, it is no surprise that she will be a rare powerhouse in the cultivation world since ancient times. She may be comparable to an old monster who has been in the Nascent Soul stage for thousands of years once she enters it.

This child must not be allowed to live!

At this moment, this idea appeared in the minds of many high-ranking members of major sects. Other elite disciples and Golden Core cultivators, even those ranked at the top of the Heavenly Ranking, could give up.

However, Lin Yitang must die.

Nascent Soul cultivators are rare. Anyone with a Nascent Soul is considered to be among the top dozens of major sects. Each of the three major sects has at most a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators, while the Tianxuan Sect has more.

Now that the Taique Sect already has Mingyi Jun, they cannot tolerate having another Lin Yitang.

The reason why Nascent Soul cultivators are so rare is partly because they are targeted during the Golden Core stage. In particular, the Golden Core Ranking created by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion makes it impossible for many Golden Core cultivators to hide their abilities.

Because the three major sects need to maintain a balance of power, the Golden Core stage is the main force for seizing resources, while the Nascent Soul stage is the foundation of a sect, and both represent the true strength of a sect.

They do not allow the Taique Sect to grow strong on its own. To them, if a sect gains another Nascent Soul cultivator or a powerful Golden Core cultivator, it means that several spiritual veins will be taken away.

The conflict between sects is essentially a conflict over spiritual veins. If other sects gain more, they will gain less, which is intolerable.

With the sect competition just around the corner, the impact of having an additional powerful member is more pronounced than at any other time.

Therefore, this period also saw the most Golden Core cultivators perish, which was undoubtedly due to the methods employed by the various sects.

They sent people to secretly cause trouble.

This is also what many people are thinking now.

However, Lin Yitang was unaware of all this.

Soon, three months were about to pass, and she finally emerged from seclusion, receiving the mission from this elite disciple.

This mission was rather unexpected and quite simple: to deliver a letter to the sect leader's friend, which seemed to be about the sect's grand competition.

The sect leader's friend is a high-ranking member of another top ten sect, and he needs to leave his sect.

At first glance, it sounds easy; it's just delivering a message, running an errand, nothing to do with fighting or killing.

But Lin Yitang knew it couldn't be that simple.

Now that we have communication talismans, which cultivator still sends letters?

Just say it directly to the communication jade.

The fact that she was so solemn in sending this item means it must be some very important news or valuable supplies that need to be kept secret and must be delivered to that powerful person personally.

This trip looks like it's going to end in trouble.
