The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Master Qingyu coughed softly, trying to attract the attention of his "good disciple".

Ye Ling noticed someone was there and immediately stood up, looking at him warily.

Master Qingyu was astonished by her smooth and flowing movements, but when he thought that she didn't know him yet and was afraid of scaring his "good disciple", he looked at her with even more affection and spoke as gently as possible.

However, when Ye Ling saw the handsome man in front of her looking at her with a strange gaze, she got goosebumps all over her body.

Ye Ling actually felt that the handsome guy opposite her was looking at her with eyes full of... well... kindness! That's right, kindness.

Ye Jia was startled by his own thoughts, and quickly shook his head to shake the strange idea out of his mind, showing a disgusted expression on his face.

Seeing his little apprentice's expression, Master Qingyu felt as if his heart had been stabbed, and he looked at Ye Ling with a wounded expression.

Ye Ling could no longer stand the strange atmosphere and spoke up to break the awkward silence.

"Excuse me, senior, where is this place? Why did I come here?"

"We are now in the Myriad Manifestations Space. As for this great hall, it is an illusion of the Xuqing Sect."

"Illusionary Space! Void Purity Sect! Illusion!"

Ye Ling murmured, looking at the person opposite her with a blank expression.

"This illusion space, as the name suggests, is a separate space with the ability to create illusions, capable of conjuring up anything you can imagine."

"The Xuqing Sect was the number one sect ten thousand years ago. It was incredibly powerful, with a profound foundation and countless experts within its ranks. In short, it was extremely strong."

For some reason, Ye Ling felt that he was promoting his own sect, and she had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Qingyu Zhenren's next sentence proved her premonition to be correct.

"Of course, I forgot to tell you, little girl, you are very lucky. You are destined to be my personal disciple, and you have successfully inherited my mantle and become the new sect leader of the Xuqing Sect."

Upon hearing this news, Ye Ling was stunned, as if struck by lightning. Qingyu Zhenren, thinking she was too excited, continued happily.

"How exciting is that? You've become the leader of the number one sect in the entire Sky Realm."

Ye Ling gradually calmed down. She didn't want to become the sect leader. Once she did, there would be consequences, and the sect's affairs were so significant that the karmic consequences would be immense, making it virtually impossible to resolve things amicably. So she refused.

"It is my honor to be valued by you, senior. However, I have already joined your sect, and I am afraid I will have to disappoint you. Please find someone else for the position of sect leader!"

Now it was Master Qingyu's turn to be dumbfounded. He thought that his little disciple would think about such a good offer, but she refused without even considering it.

Seeing her resolute attitude, and realizing that he couldn't coax her, he had no choice but to force her to buy.

"Alas, I don't want to make things difficult for you! But fate has decreed that you are destined to be my disciple, the new sect leader of the Xuqing Sect, and you cannot shirk the heavy responsibility of restoring the sect!"

"Oh, so you're planning to force a sale, senior?"

"Oh, you can't say that. Your being able to come into this world and this space is your destiny, but it is also the cause and effect you cannot escape."

"Furthermore, when you entered, your blood had already dripped onto the sect leader's token. The token has changed hands, and the Heavenly Contract has been formed. I cannot change that. Please examine your own sea of ​​consciousness."

Ye Ling was shocked when she heard his words. He knew that she came from the modern world, but when he heard what he said next, his face darkened instantly and he looked very ugly.

Ye Ling did as instructed and checked her sea of ​​consciousness. Sure enough, she saw a sect leader token and a Heavenly Dao Contract next to it. She immediately checked the contents of the contract.

After reading it, her face turned ashen. She told me to take in seven disciples, and they had to be virtuous and destined for greatness. If I disobeyed, heavenly lightning would strike and I would be annihilated.

"Where am I supposed to find the chosen one?"

"They don't have the words 'chosen by destiny' written on their heads, nor do they have 'good character' written on their faces."

"Oh! I almost forgot about this?"

"Here you go, take this. It will help you find them. As long as this crystal in your hand glows, go find that person, then let them hold it. If it continues to glow, that's them!"

"Oh, right! The colors of light they emit are different when they hold them!"

"There are such amazing things!"

"That's right, don't you even know who your master is? He is the former sect leader of the Xuqing Sect, True Person Qingyu!"

Ye Ling was initially too lazy to listen to the self-praise, but she suddenly heard a familiar name. Unsure, she wondered if she should ask.

"Master Qingyu?"

Ye Ling asked again, unsure.

Master Qingyu nodded proudly.

"I'm asking you, did you write a novel? In the novel, there's a cannon fodder character with the same name as me who's also a hopeless romantic."

Ye Ling squinted and asked in a heavy tone.

"Oh, that novel? I wrote it. Pretty good, right? I have others too; if you're interested, I can write a few more for you!"

Upon hearing this answer, Ye Ling felt her anger rising, but she managed to suppress it and asked through gritted teeth.

"So you deliberately wrote it for me to see, and then brought me here?"

"My little disciple is indeed clever and quick-witted."

"What is the purpose?"

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed! You will know later."

Master Qingyu said in a profound and unfathomable way.

"Tch, that's like saying nothing at all."

Ye Ling simply pursed her lips, utterly speechless.

After much deliberation, Ye Ling knew she couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

Then Master Qingyu discovered that his disciple was a complete novice who didn't know anything, so he explained almost everything to him.

Finally, Master Qingyu assigned Ye Ling a task.

He gave Ye Ling a formation plate, which was specially prepared for her by Master Qingyu to explore the ruins of the Xuqing Sect.

Why search? The reason is very simple: all the cultivation techniques, spiritual treasures, and guardian beasts are in the sect's secret space. You need to find the space and find a cultivation technique suitable for someone with your innate holy body.

At the same time, Ye Ling also realized that she was not a waste. They had always thought that the more spiritual roots one had, the worse one's aptitude would be, and the more limited one's cultivation would be.

Actually, there is one exception: the innate sacred body. She possesses all the spiritual roots, but because of her body, it does not restrict a person's cultivation. On the contrary, it can balance the situation where the various spiritual roots explode due to the imbalance of competing for spiritual energy.
