Chapter 372 Lian Bing - Bing Xue
"Hmm? Why is the outer part of the Illusion Forest so quiet?" Ling Yun asked as he looked at the map, and there wasn't a single red dot on the map, which confused him.
Feng Qiong, who had been to the Illusion Forest several times, immediately explained to him. "The outer periphery is always quiet like this, and the beasts in this forest are gathered in the middle and inner periphery, Ling Yun. However, once we enter the middle periphery of this forest, we will encounter many beasts starting from the Core Realm."
"Huh? The weakest beast in this forest is in the Core Realm?" Ling Yun was surprised to hear that.
Feng Qiong nodded to him. "The beasts in the middle periphery are between the Core and Soul Realms, and the beasts in the inner periphery are in the King and Emperor Realms."
"What the hell!" Ling Yun exclaimed in shock. "Then what about the beasts in the heart of this forest?"
"I don't know for sure about that." Feng Qiong shook his head at him. "I've heard rumors that someone has encountered a beast in the Saint Realm, but I'm unsure of the truth."
"Saint Realm, huh? Doesn't that mean they are as strong as Ruxue?" The women of the Feng Clan nodded to her, for Feng Ruxue's cultivation was in the Lower Saint Realm.
"But in my opinion, those beasts won't dare to approach you, for Your dragon aura is too strong for them, Yun'er." Feng Xing suddenly spoke with a chuckle; somehow, she felt slightly pressured whenever she stood beside him.
Ling Yun sighed softly and nodded helplessly; ever since he met the Chaos Dragon, his dragon aura was difficult to suppress. It was true that ordinary cultivators couldn't feel the pressure from his dragon aura, but beast descendants or cultivators with beast bloodlines could feel it.
"Should we head straight to the middle periphery of this Forest, Yun'er?" Ling Yu'er asked as her eyes continued to scan the surrounding area.
"We-" Suddenly, a girl around 17 appeared before him; she had colorful hair and two bright butterfly wings behind her. "Hmm? Are you the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly?"
The girl didn't answer Ling Yun's question and kept looking at him with colorful eyes. Before long, she stretched her hand towards him and flicked a small colorful ball at him, which entered his body directly.
"What-" Suddenly, Ling Yun's eyes darkened, and he fell backward, startling Ling Xi and his women.
"Yun'er!" Ling Yu'er and the others immediately screamed in panic when Ling Yun lost consciousness.

"Where have you been, Master?" Lian Bing asked Bing Xue, who had just appeared in her cave. "You disappeared immediately after I finished announcing Ye Jing and Shui Lan's joining our sect."
Bing Xue sighed softly. "It seems that this Cultivator Realm will experience turmoil in the future, and the source is Ling Yun."
"What do you mean by that, Master?" Lian Bing asked as she raised an eyebrow. Even though she knew a lot about Ling Yun, especially his bloodline, she felt he still had many mysteries.
"Do you know about the black dragon?" Bing Xue seriously asked.
In fact, Bing Xue had been in the forest before Ling Yun tried his technique, and she had also witnessed him dual cultivating with his women, but she had only watched him from a distance. She herself was horrified when he used the dragon manifestation, even more so when a mighty dragon's roar came out of his mouth and instantly killed all the beasts below Core Realm.
Ling Xi was aware of Bing Xue's presence, but she didn't say anything to Ling Yun and allowed her to watch them, for she had her own goals.
Lian Bing looked at Bing Xue in surprise, she still didn't know how her Master knew about it, and so far, only people within Ling Yun's inner circle knew about it.
Bing Xue inwardly sighed, then explained where she had gone before and what she had witnessed. "Can you tell me now?"
Lian Bing nodded. "That is Ling Yun's bloodline, but don't assume he is a heretical cultivator, Master. In fact, he possesses nine elements."
"What did you just say?" Bing Xue asked wide-eyed. "He has nine elements?"
"Yes, Master." Lian Bing nodded. "I witnessed it myself when he broke through to the Core Realm, and not only nine elements, but he also has three qi cores."
Bing Xue went into a daze as soon as Lian Bing said that; Ling Yun possessing nine elements shocked her, and now she had also noted that he had three qi cores. She felt that he was too overpowered and would become a central figure in the Cultivator Realm in the future.
"Ling Yun's dream is not as small as you think, Master." Lian Bing said with a smile, knowing her Master's thought. "His dream is not the Cultivator Realm, but his dream is to be in the Supreme Realm."
"Supreme Realm? What is that?" Bing Xue asked in confusion.
Lian Bing knew her Master was very interested in cultivator things, so she shared some things she learned when she lived with Ling Yun. She told Bing Xue about the other worlds, the Rank of each Realm, and the Supreme Realm.
"Other worlds really exist, huh?" Bing Xue muttered in disbelief, she still couldn't believe her disciple's words, but she also knew that Lian Bing was neither a braggart nor a liar.
"Master, other worlds exist; even Xiao Xiao knows about other worlds.".
"Princess Xiao of the Xiao family? She also has a relationship with Ling Yun?" Lian Bing just smiled at her. "That's unbelievable; not only has Madam Feng become his woman, but also the Princess of the Xiao family."
Lian Bing chuckled at that. "Believe it or not, but that's the truth, Master. Anyway, I have a plan I'd like to discuss with you."
"Oh? What's your plan?"
"I want to accept Ling Yun to become a disciple of our sect."
Bing Xue was stunned for a moment before she screamed in shock. "Have you gone mad, Bing'er? Our sect is an all-female sect, so how can we accept Ling Yun as our disciple? If you do that, then our reputation-"
Lian Bing shook her head and interrupted Bing Xue. "Reputation? We are cultivators, Master. Reputation is built on strength; if we are strong, then no one will dare to look down on us. Moreover, the enemy this Cultivator Realm faces is not only the Mo Clan, but they were also assisted by a cultivator from another realm; that's why I planned it."
"They were helped by a cultivator from other realms?" Bing Xue was utterly shocked to hear that.
"Yes." Lian Bing nodded to her. "Not long ago, Ling'er and the others were attacked by Mo Hongling, and I also faced her, but she overcame me easily."
"Huh?" Bing Xue was even more shocked and asked in disbelief. "Mo Hongling can beat you easily?"
Lian Bing nodded to her. "Mo Hongling used dark qi, but it was not ordinary. I heard from Ling Yun that devil qi was given to her by a mysterious cultivator from another realm, but he still doesn't know that person's identity."
After listening to her disciple's explanation, Bing Xue took a deep breath and asked again. "Then what happened to you? Were you injured by that devil qi?"
"At first, I was seriously injured by Mo Hongling's devil qi, for it suppressed my qi and undermined my body from within. However, Ling Yun came to my aid and absorbed the devil qi in my body into his body." Lian Bing explained with a faint smile, especially since it was related to their first kiss.
Bing Xue was speechless for a long time. "Are you kidding me? How could Ling Yun, who is still low in cultivation, absorb the devil qi that caused you such heavy injuries?"
"Master, you underestimate Ling Yun too much." Lian Bing replied with a shake of her head. "Have you forgotten that he could use his technique on you without noticing?"
"Of course, I haven't forgotten about that incident, but those two things are different." Bing Xue replied with a bitter smile, and she was still horrified by Ling Yun's abilities. Moreover, she is no different from an ordinary woman in the dream space, especially since she can't use her cultivation.
Lian Bing sighed softly. "Ling Yun's third qi core was formed from Mo Hongling's devil qi and became the devil qi core."
Bing Xue was stunned after hearing that; she still couldn't believe that Ling Yun could absorb devil qi, and he could even convert it into qi core.
Lian Bing then asked her Master again. "So, what do you think of my plan, Master? If Ling Yun joins our sect, I believe our sect will become even stronger, and no one will dare to belittle us anymore, especially that Shui Clan."
Bing Xue didn't immediately answer her disciple, and she thought things through carefully because Lian Bing's plan was insane, and others would not agree with her idea. "I can't decide that on my own, Bing'er. It would be best to discuss it with the other elders first."
"All right, I will gather them now and discuss it with them." Lian Bing answered as she stood up, then asked all the sect elders to come to her room.
