Chapter 4228: The Downfall of Yunhai Sect

“Kid, it seems you truly know nothing about yourself.” In Ku Xuzi’s view, Ye Bufan was shocked by his news.

Ye Bufan nodded, “Disciple truly knows nothing.”

“That’s normal. Your Physique is extremely rare, and only I can see it. Didn’t Dragon Granny and that woman Yun Qianyin both misjudge it?” After saying that, the Old Man laughed triumphantly again.

Ye Bufan asked, “Master, what kind of School is Purple Moon Mountain? What Rank is it?” Ku Xuzi’s expression changed slightly, “Kid, you wouldn’t think of running away just because your Physique is special, would you?”

“No, no, how could Disciple possibly have that idea?” Ye Bufan said.

“I’m afraid of burying my wife’s potential.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Purple Moon Mountain is the top School in the First Saint Realm, and that old woman truly has some ability.”

“Oh!” Ye Bufan nodded.

“Then what about Piaoxiang Valley?”

“It’s not bad either. It’s also one of the top Schools in the First Saint Realm. Although that girl Yun Qianyin is a bit young, her Cultivation is definitely not bad, and she won’t let your woman suffer.”

“Then I’m relieved.” Ye Bufan asked again,

“Then how about our Yunhai Sect? What Rank is it in the First Saint Realm?” Ku Xuzi patted his chest, “Of course it’s top-tier! Our Yunhai Sect has a profound foundation; it’s incomparable to small Schools like Purple Moon Mountain and Piaoxiang Valley.” The Old Man spoke with full confidence, but Ye Bufan always felt something was off.

“Master, since our Sect is so powerful, why am I the only one who signed up?”

“That…” Ku Xuzi’s expression froze.

“Our Yunhai Sect has always followed a boutique route; we don’t accept those without Heaven-Defying Aptitude, so there are fewer people. But don’t worry, you will never suffer under this Old Man’s tutelage.”

“I believe Master.” Ye Bufan nodded. His top priority was to find a Cultivation Technique to raise his strength to Chaotic Yuan Venerable.

Although the Old Man in front of him seemed a bit unreliable, his Cultivation was genuine. The most urgent task was to obtain the Ancient Medical Sect’s third Legacy. As for the Sect’s strength, he didn’t care too much.

Through the reactions of Dragon Granny and Yun Qianyin before, combined with Ku Xuzi’s performance, he had already lowered his expectations for Yunhai Sect to the absolute minimum.

But when he arrived at the Sect, he was still shocked by the scene before him. It had to be said that the scenery here was beautiful, with clear mountains and waters, surrounded by mist, truly living up to the name ‘Yunhai’ (Sea of Clouds).

“Good Disciple, we’re here. This is our Sect, and it will be your home from now on.”

“Uh…” Ye Bufan looked around, and there was nothing but beautiful scenery.

“Master, you’re not joking, are you? Where is our mountain gate?”

“Over there.” Ku Xuzi pointed.

“Uh…” A hundred ‘holy sh*t’s instantly popped into Ye Bufan’s mind. He saw a few large rocks piled up at his feet; if it weren’t for the explicit mention, it would be impossible to tell it was a gate.

He swallowed, “Master, don’t we have a plaque or something for our mountain gate?”

“Of course we do! We are a proper School, how could we not have a name?” Wu Xuzi said, pointing again to the side. Next to the extremely crude mountain gate stood a three-foot-tall sign, which was tattered, possibly due to its age.

On it were three crooked characters: Yunhai Sect.

“I…” Ye Bufan almost choked on his own saliva.

“Um… Master, where is our main hall where we live?”

“Over there. Let me tell you, our main hall definitely has the best scenery in the entire Chaotic Saint Realm.” Ku Xuzi boasted again. Ye Bufan followed his finger and searched for a long time, finally finding four thatched huts on the mountaintop.

At this moment, he realized that he had still underestimated the Yunhai Sect’s decline. This was not a proper Sect at all; it was even worse than the Beggars’ Sect.

“Master, do you call this a main hall?”

“That… if I say it’s a main hall, it’s a main hall. If I say it’s a scripture pavilion, or a Cultivation room, then it’s a Cultivation room. In short, it was built by Master’s own hands, and you can consider it whatever you want.” At this point, Ku Xuzi himself felt a bit awkward and added,

“We Cultivators shouldn’t focus too much on external things. The most important thing is to Cultivate and raise our strength. Our Yunhai Sect has a profound foundation, a Legacy of millions of years, and will definitely not disappoint you.” By now, Ye Bufan didn’t believe a single word the Old Man said.

“Master, our century-old Sect isn’t just the two of us, is it?”

“Of course not! You also have a Senior Brother and a Senior Sister.” After Ku Xuzi finished speaking, he led Ye Bufan to the front of the thatched main hall.

“Sanyuan, Cailing, come out and meet your Junior Brother.”

“Coming, Master.” The doors of two thatched huts opened, and a man and a woman walked out. The man was burly and appeared dull, clearly an honest and loyal person.

The woman, on the other hand, had a graceful demeanor and was extremely beautiful, with a warm smile on her face that made people feel very comfortable.

“This is your Senior Brother Jin Sanyuan and your Senior Sister Ning Cailing. This is the Disciple I have newly taken, Ye Bufan. From today onwards, he will be your Junior Brother…” Ku Xuzi introduced the three of them. Ye Bufan stepped forward to greet the two,

“Junior Brother greets Senior Brother and Senior Sister.” Jin Sanyuan merely nodded slightly, returning the greeting. In contrast, Ning Cailing was extremely enthusiastic, like an elder sister not seen for many years,

“This is great! I finally have a Junior Brother! If you ever need anything, just tell your Senior Sister, don’t be shy.” Ku Xuzi added, “Your Senior Brother once participated in the Saint Spirit Convention ten thousand years ago and stopped at eighty-sixth place. Your Senior Sister participated once three thousand years ago and achieved nineteenth place, but ultimately failed to see the Saint Ancestor statue. In the future, communicate more with them and learn some experience. This time, our Yunhai Sect must shine brightly!” Ye Bufan was slightly surprised. These two looked ordinary, but he didn’t expect them to have such outstanding talent.

According to what was said before, the Saint Spirit Convention’s assessment was extremely rigorous. For them to enter the top hundred, their Aptitude was definitely not weak.

“I understand, Master. I will definitely learn more from Senior Brother and Senior Sister in the future.” Ye Bufan’s attitude was still very humble. Although the Yunhai Sect seemed extremely dilapidated, these few people left a good impression on him.

“Alright, you two go back. Now I’m going to take your Junior Brother to Cultivate.” For a Cultivator, one month was definitely not a long time. With the registration being relatively late, Ku Xuzi seized every moment, pulling Ye Bufan into the last thatched hut.

The room was small, looking dilapidated from the outside, but it was extremely clean inside and had a very strong Restriction that could block external prying.

The furnishings were very simple, with no furniture at all, only a straw-woven futon placed in the middle of the floor.

“Alright, from now on, you are my official Disciple. I will pass on to you the Sect’s Cultivation Technique, the Yunhai Art.” Ku Xuzi was swift and decisive, without any formalities or unnecessary chatter. He raised his hand and pointed, and a green light entered Ye Bufan’s glabella.
