Calculated by the Entire Sect? Don't Cry When Your Whole Family is Slaughtered! - Chapter 3

After absorbing the original owner’s memories, Shen Lian immediately began to consider his current survival environment.

Currently, the entire Heavenly Feather Sect, with the exception of Shen Chuyun, was doing everything they could to kill him.

The most pressing matter was to acquire the ability to protect himself before the killing intent arrived.

With what happened today, that group of old farts in the Heavenly Feather Sect would surely be like hungry wolves who had sniffed meat, and they definitely wouldn’t let him off.

In his previous life, at the peak of the Grand Dao, he could have wiped them all out with a casual flick of his finger.

But now, given the objective circumstances, he could only choose to start over from scratch.

The first thing to do was to restore some of his cultivation.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t last a few hours before someone came to arrest him and take him to the Enforcement Hall for questioning.

If he were to meekly surrender, his first day of rebirth would meet its most tragic end.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian once again checked his physical condition.

The silver lining in this misfortune was that although this body’s Elixir Sea was damaged, thanks to the simp’s efforts over the past five hundred years, it had at least recovered to the Qi Gathering realm.

If it were still at the Body Tempering realm, Shen Lian would definitely not have survived today.

Through ninety-nine lifetimes, even without relying on the system, Shen Lian had at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, methods for repairing the Elixir Sea.

When he faced Dao Emperor Yan Shen, who was at the 33rd level of the Grand Dao realm, his Elixir Sea was damaged in thousands of places. Yet, he was able to create a cultivation method called the “Profound Yellow Art of the Universe” with his own strength.

This allowed him to repair his Elixir Sea at a speed thousands of times faster than normal within just seven hours, and his cultivation even advanced further. Not to mention, the current damage to his Elixir Sea was far less severe than that time.

He immediately took out the storage bag he had snatched from Ye Fan. Opening it, a pile of spiritual herbs and treasures appeared.

These were all rare spiritual medicines from this world, given by those seven white-eyed wolves to curry favor with Ye Fan. They contained vast amounts of spiritual energy, and many of them were even useless to Ye Fan, who was currently only at the Divine Transformation realm.

In his previous life, at his peak, Shen Lian wouldn’t have even glanced at these low-grade spiritual medicines.

But for the current Shen Lian, they were crucial for his resurgence.

“First, I’ll set up a spirit-gathering array. While repairing my Elixir Sea, I can also quickly absorb the spiritual energy hidden in nature to quickly raise my cultivation.”

Time was short. Shen Lian used these spiritual treasures and medicinal herbs to quickly set up a simple spirit-gathering array around the straw mat.

He had to race against time now, to acquire the ability to protect himself before those old fuckers from the Enforcement Hall made their move.

Stepping into the spirit-gathering array, Shen Lian sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and slowly closed his eyes.

With a turn of his divine sense, Shen Lian activated the “Profound Yellow Art of the Universe,” and in an instant, the spirit-gathering array began to operate rapidly.

As massive amounts of spiritual energy entered his body, Shen Lian could clearly feel his Elixir Sea rapidly recovering at a visible speed.

In just a short tea’s time, the Elixir Sea, which had been damaged for ten years, was finally completely repaired.

The moment the Elixir Sea resumed operation, the previously blocked meridians also began to clear at lightning speed.

The next moment, Shen Lian’s cultivation soared like a rocket.

Qi Gathering First Layer.

Qi Gathering Second Layer.

Qi Gathering Third Layer.

…

Qi Gathering Peak.

Breakthrough.

Body Sculpting First Layer.

However, the speed of cultivation advancement did not slow down due to the realm breakthrough.

On the contrary, the speed of advancement was even faster than before.

Body Sculpting Second Layer.

Ninth Layer.

Peak.

Breakthrough.

Foundation Establishment!

…

Foundation Establishment Peak.

Breakthrough.

Divine Transformation First Layer!

In just half an hour, Shen Lian directly broke through from Qi Gathering First Layer to Divine Transformation First Layer.

But he didn’t relax in the slightest, continuing to diligently absorb the power of the spirit-gathering array using the “Profound Yellow Art of the Universe.”

It wasn’t until his cultivation reached Divine Transformation Seventh Layer that the spirit-gathering array gradually slowed down and showed signs of cracking.

Finally, just as his cultivation reached Divine Transformation Eighth Layer, the spirit-gathering array completely shattered.

“Phew…”

Exhaling a mouthful of murky air, Shen Lian’s eyes were sharp and bright when he opened them again. His entire demeanor was completely different from his previous depressed state.

“Although I’m still a waste at Divine Transformation Eighth Layer, it’s enough to handle the current situation!”

Bang—

Just then, the tightly shut wooden door was kicked open.

Two Enforcement Hall disciples entered the hut aggressively.

One of them saw Shen Lian and immediately yelled with arrogant bravado, “Shen Lian! You dare to harm Junior Brother Ye! Come with us right now…”

However, before he could finish speaking, Shen Lian flicked his hand.

Instantly, a powerful suction force pulled the disciple directly in front of him.

He grabbed his throat, and with a slight tightening of his grip, the disciple’s face immediately turned purple.

The other disciple, seeing this scene, immediately exclaimed, “Shen Lian, what are you doing! How dare you lay hands on our Enforcement Hall disciple, are you trying to…”

Boom—

The next second, a powerful surge of true essence assailed him, instantly sending the speaking disciple flying out of the hut.

“Who allowed you waste to shout in front of me? Are ants worthy of speaking?”

Shen Lian lifted the disciple he held in his hand above his head.

“Ugh… ugh… ugh…”

Extreme suffocation caused the disciple to emit faint whimpers.

At this moment, facing Shen Lian’s eyes, he saw a sharpness and coldness he had never seen before.

“A waste who doesn’t know his imminent death is not worthy of living in this world. Your destination is hell!”

Boom…

With a soft explosion echoing in the hut, the Enforcement Hall disciple was instantly reduced to dust.

“Ah?”

And this scene was witnessed by the other Enforcement Hall disciple who had been blown out of the hut earlier.

In that instant, he was so terrified that he collapsed onto the ground.

“You, you, you killed Senior Brother Niu? Shen… Shen… Lian, how could you… ah…”

Another scream, and the disciple exploded on the spot before he could finish speaking.

“The reason waste is waste is primarily due to a lack of self-awareness. Knowing that a strong enemy is present and their own abilities are insufficient,

yet still daring to utter wild words. Such people are not fit to exist in this world where the strong prey on the weak.

But you two won’t die for nothing. Soon, I will send more waste to the underworld to reunite with you.

I guarantee you won’t feel lonely at all on the Yellow Springs Road.”

Having killed two people, Shen Lian felt no ripple in his heart.

After ninety-nine lifetimes, how many people had he not killed?

Whether they were ants or chosen ones, if they were his enemies, he would not hesitate to suppress them.

It was a pity that his current cultivation level prevented him from activating the “Grand Dao Human Emperor Cauldron,” making their deaths too easy.

“Next, it’s time to have it out with these parasitic leeches. You want to interrogate me, Shen Lian? Let’s see what price you can bear!”

Today, the entire Heavenly Feather Sect was destined to know a brand new Shen Lian.

Just as he was about to step out of the door and head to the interrogation hall, Shen Lian seemed to remember something and turned back into the hut.

He walked to the bed and retrieved a bundle from underneath.

Unfolding it, he found a set of extremely magnificent yet practical black and white scholarly robes, and a folding fan made of Li Jing Liu Mo.

In his memories, this was custom-made for him by Shen Chuyun, but he had only worn it a few times.

Because those seven white-eyed wolves told him that such flashy clothes were too eye-catching and that simplicity was best.

The main reason was that Ye Fan didn’t like it.

So, Shen Lian followed their advice, put away this one magnificent set of scholarly robes, and dressed no differently from a common servant disciple.

The funny thing was that the seven white-eyed wolves certainly didn’t practice simplicity themselves, and even Ye Fan’s clothing was far more opulent than his own.

As the saying goes, “fine feathers make fine birds.” Shen Lian, who had been arrogant from start to finish for ninety-nine lifetimes, never skimped on his clothing, food, housing, or transportation, provided conditions allowed.

After all, how can someone who doesn’t even love themselves be worthy of others’ respect?

The original owner didn’t understand such a simple truth, so it could only be said that his fate was entirely his own fault.

Of course, there was another important reason for Shen Lian to change his clothes.

Because this outfit perfectly matched his dressing taste from ninety-nine lifetimes. Although the details were slightly different, it was precisely the aesthetic type Shen Lian liked.

How did Shen Chuyun know his taste?

Shen Lian didn’t have time to delve into these details. He then took off his old sect robes and put on the scholarly robes.

The moment the folding fan opened, an unruly aura emanated from him.

“From now on, I will walk the path to the peak again! Anyone who blocks my path…”

Shen Lian closed his eyes and slowly walked out of the hut.

“…will be destroyed!”

Boom—

The moment he opened his eyes, the thatched hut behind him instantly turned into a pile of rubble.

The unparalleled figure walked towards the sect’s Enforcement Hall without looking back.
