My Disciples Are All Villains

Ye Tianxin did not care about what the others were thinking. Her current goal was very simple, and it was to follow Qi Sheng's arrangements and enter the upper core of the Pillar of Destruction under the Sacred Temple's order to comprehend the Great Dao. After successfully comprehending the Great Dao, she would be able to become a supreme being.

For 200 years, all of the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion had been working hard to achieve this goal.

As such, Ye Tianxin hardly paid attention to Rou Zhao Hall's affairs.

The flying chariot flew past mountains and rivers toward the northeastern direction of Rou Zhao Hall.

In a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, Ye Tianxian saw an oval building. The building was green, and the top was pointed. It emitted a faint green light.

From above, the lush trees and mountains made the entire place look like it was brimming with vitality.

When they entered the valley, they felt refreshed. The smell in the air was intoxicating. It was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.

"Commander Ye, this is your first time coming to the upper core of Rou Zhao's Pillar of Destruction, right? The upper core is right in front of you. It has been here for a very long time, and its root is in the Unknown Land. The pillar absorbs energy and nutrients and sends them to the upper core. It can be said that the upper core is the lifeblood of the Great Void," Yuan Zhi said.

Ye Tianxin asked curiously, "What will happen in the future? Once the pillar collapses, it may not be immediate, but the upper core will soon follow since no energy is being supplied to it."

Yuan Zhi said with a sigh, "That's right. That's why the Sacred Temple and the ten halls place such great importance on the pillars. The ones who will be most affected are the common cultivators. The lack of Great Void energy and vitality energy will cause them to lag behind. The energy in the upper core won't last for long after the collapse. Fortunately, the Great Void doesn't allow the use of formations to extract the energy. Otherwise, our Rou Zhao Hall will be finished this time."

Ye Tianxin nodded before she asked again, "How long will the upper core last once the pillar collapses?"

"About 50 years or so. If the pillar is not mended, it'll begin to decline and fall. At that time, I'm afraid Rou Zhao Hall will no longer be able to return to its glorious days…"

Clearly, they still hoped that the pillar would be mended.

Many people in the Great Void shared this hope, living in their fantasies.

Alas, the Great Void would fall sooner or later. It would reach its end just like a person's life.

The flying chariot came to a stop 300 feet away from the oval entrance of the upper core. A golden barrier shone at the entrance.

Yuan Zhi looked around before he brought something out. He held it up and blew on it, producing a sound.

The sound echoed in the circular valley, and many fierce beasts responded to it, seemingly repelled.

Yuan Zhi explained, "There are many fierce beasts here. Among them, there are divine beasts and ancient Saint slayers…"

Ye Tian nodded. "Thank you. You've worked hard."

"It's my duty," Yuan Zhi said with a smile, "Rou Zhao Hall's survival depends on Commander Ye, after all."

At the same time, many cultivators flew out of the flying chariot and lined the sides of the entrance.

Yuan Zhi looked at the golden barrier and said, "It's not easy to enter the upper core. There's almost no hope for those below the stage of a Dao Saint to enter the upper core. Even for those at or above the stage of a Dao Saint, they'll have to depend on luck to enter as well. Owners of the Great Void Seeds naturally have a higher chance of success."

The Great Void Seeds grew in the Pillars of Destruction, after all. The same energy that nourished the seeds rose up through the Pillar of Destruction to the upper core in the Great Void.

"Commander Ye, please enter," someone said.

Yuan Zhi looked at the golden barrier, and his heart was filled with expectations and anticipation. It beat rapidly as though it was jumping in joy. He tried to stay calm as he said, "Commander Ye, please."

Ye Tianxin looked at the golden barrier and nodded slightly. She turned to look at everyone and said, "I've cultivated with my master for many years, and I've made a promise to myself. No matter what happens, in life and in death, I will protect the Evil Sky Pavilion. After comprehending the Great Dao, I'll leave Rou Zhao Hall and return to my master's side. I hope everyone can forgive me."

Apart from Yuan Zhi's, everyone's expressions were a little unnatural when they heard these words. They thought that Rou Zhao Hall was truly not the same as before; even the position of commander was so easily discarded. Fortunately, they did not have any expectations for Ye Tianxin, to begin with. Hence, they did not take her words to heart at all.

At this time, Yuan Zhi smiled and said, "Commander Ye's honesty is very touching. No matter what, I represent the hall to thank you for taking care of us."

Yuan Zhi's words sounded sincere, and his expression also looked sincere. Humans can easily weave the most beautiful lie with their mouth, face, and eyes, hiding their filthy thoughts.

Ye Tianxin nodded slightly in response before she turned around and flew toward the entrance of the upper core of the Pillar of Destruction. Her movements were graceful and nimble as she flew.

When the golden barrier sensed her approach, it began to buzz steadily and energy began to stir.

Ye Tianxin inhaled deeply, mustering up her courage, before she made her way toward the golden barrier.

The air seemed frozen as the golden barrier shone brighter and brighter. The entrance was like a golden passageway; it looked deceptively welcoming.

When Ye Tianxin touched the golden barrier, she felt an elastic force strike her. Following that, golden lotuses appeared in the air and fluttered in the air around her like golden butterflies.

Yuan Zhi was slightly surprised when he saw this. "It's the same method as Lady Hua…"

'On second thought, their master and teacher are the same person. This isn't surprising… The respected and fearsome Unholy One is also a master and a teacher. Alas, he didn't teach his students well, causing his downfall.'

Ye Tianxin felt the force trying to push her away so she quickly imbued more energy into her golden lotuses.

The two forces fought against each other as buzzing noises reverberated in the valley.

Yuan Zhi, who was watching, felt his blood boil as his heart raced wildly in his chest. He sighed inwardly. 'As expected of the owner of a Great Void Seed. A normal Dao Saint would definitely be sent flying during the first attempt. However, she managed to stand her ground…'

Ye Tianxin's eyes shone with determination. At this time, there were no other thoughts in her mind; she was fully focused on advancing.

The golden lotuses flew in front of her and opened up a path for her.

At the same time, the force that repelled her grew stronger and stronger.

Boom!

When the force swept over, Ye Tianxin was pushed back a few steps. She reacted quickly and stomped her feet, causing the upper core to shake as well.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Tianxin held her ground before she took another step forward. At the same time, the golden lotuses shone brighter than before.

The upper core buzzed. The weak green light was not completely covered by the golden light of the barrier.

Yuan Zhi clenched his hands and muttered inwardly, 'She has to succeed!'

Ye Tianxin frowned and gritted her teeth. She raised her head to the sky and spread her arms as energy burst forth. In just an instant, the golden lotuses rapidly grew in size.

Bam!

When the golden lotuses grew, the golden barrier shattered into spots of starlight, dissipating into heaven and earth.

Peace returned to the upper core.

After the golden barrier disappeared, the oval passage behind the barrier was revealed to everyone.

"It's done?!" Yuan Zhi exclaimed.

Everyone from Rou Zhao Hall did not expect things to go so smoothly. They had never heard of anyone entering the upper core so easily. Ye Tianxin had succeeded with just one attempt, and it had taken less than 15 minutes. They gulped as they looked at Ye Tianxin's slender back in shock and disbelief.

Now that the golden barrier was gone, it meant that anyone at or above the Dao Saint stage could enter the upper core to comprehend the Great Dao. This was the best path to becoming a supreme being. It was widely acknowledged by cultivators in the Great Void as the shortest path to becoming a supreme being.

Ye Tianxin could not help but feel excited. She took a few deep breaths as she looked at the dark passageway and thought to herself, 'It would be great if they could see this scene…'

Ye Tianxin was always thinking about her fellow disciples from the Evil Sky Pavilion.
