199: Your Trial (Part 5)

“Divine Epiphany, is it truly a Divine Epiphany!”

Ling Meng was once again overwhelmed with excitement. She had always heard from Lin Nuo about how miraculous and powerful the Divine Epiphany was, akin to a chosen move, elusive and sought after. And now that she had triggered it, she was like her master, a chosen one.

An incomparable feeling, she had never been as happy as she was now.

Despite the difficulties faced at the sacred altar, nearly losing her life, it was all worth it, all the suffering was to welcome this very moment!

She had triggered the Divine Epiphany, living up to her master’s expectations, closing the distance between them.

Watching Ling Meng bouncing around, Lin Nuo was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this girl once the ruthless leader of a small demonic sect? A fierce and merciless Demonic Heavenly Maiden?

But now, how has she been nurtured into something so crooked?

He was a formal instructor, using the most advanced demonic techniques and teaching methods of the Great Han nation, which would be recognized as the nation’s foremost in demonic instruction in six years, renowned throughout the country.

But why such a highly skilled person, his disciple turned out like this…

Her strength had improved, but she had lost the murderous aura and demeanor befitting a Demonic Heavenly Maiden.

It seems, she needs to be sent back to the demonic sect for a while, to re-experience the harsh reality of the demonic cultivation.

Knock knock, someone was at the door.

“Who is it?”

Lin Nuo snapped back to reality and called out, about to open the door, when a voice came from outside:

“Brother, I understand the pleasures, but do pay attention to the timing, eh? The duo workout, the group workout, don’t get too intense, it’s disturbing the people below, be mindful, yeah?”

“…”

It must be Ling Meng’s lively antics that disturbed the people below! What in the world is this group workout, doing group workouts in broad daylight?

No wonder sometimes there’s a bit of noise from upstairs, it might actually be happening.

“Enough, I know.”

Lin Nuo responded to someone outside, then turned to Ling Meng, “Alright, Ling Meng, stop jumping around, you’re affecting the people downstairs.”

“Oh oh oh.”

Ling Meng only then realized, stopping her jumping. She had been too excited and carried away, momentarily losing herself in pride.

Lin Nuo opened the door, the person outside had left, and after closing the door again, he said to Ling Meng:

“As your master, I’ve taught you to avoid arrogance and impatience. Even if you’ve had an epiphany of the divine, it’s nothing to be proud of. The road ahead is long, and you mustn’t lose yourself over a momentary achievement.”

Lin Nuo lectured seriously, but in fact, each sentence was tinged with the sourness of lemons.

How could he not be bitter? She could erupt, she could ascend, while he, he had nothing.

What’s so good about erupting? Isn’t life just as livable without it?

“Alright, alright, I understand, Master. I will heed your command, avoid arrogance and impatience, and strive to become stronger in the future.”

Ling Meng was invigorated, feeling a bright future ahead. She felt she was getting closer to her master, and one day, she would catch up to him and become someone who could truly fight alongside him!

However, she didn’t know that as she progressed, she was actually getting farther from Lin Nuo.

After all, he was always behind her. As she advanced, he probably couldn’t even see her shadow anymore.

He played the role of a spiritual leader, concealing his identity as a novice, inspiring her to move forward—how noble!

“Master, what should we do next?”

“I’ll find you an organization.”

“Organization? What is that?”

“The Demonic Cultivation Sect. You originally belonged to that demonic organization. You only followed me because you ran into some trouble. You’ve been out for so long, it’s time for you to go back.”

“Then, Master, will you come back to the Demonic Cultivation Sect with me?”

“No, I don’t like that place, I have my own plans,” Lin Nuo said.

“Master, you… you don’t want me anymore…”

Hearing this, Ling Meng was extremely saddened, feeling as if she was being abandoned, her lips pouting as she tugged at Lin Nuo’s sleeve.

“Not at all.”

Lin Nuo replied, “This is just a way to test you. Apply everything I’ve taught you in the Demonic Cultivation Sect. Remember, act cautiously, don’t show off. There are people within the sect who want you dead, but don’t worry, with your current abilities and the way I’ve taught you to handle things, they can’t do anything to you. You go back to the sect for a while, and I will observe you in secret. When the time comes, I will naturally appear to find you.”

Lin Nuo spoke as if he were a profound and inscrutable master, placing his disciple in a situation to be tested, while he observed from the shadows, or from the clouds, or from some hidden corner, always elusive, like a ghost.

In reality, if he had such abilities, he wouldn’t have taken Ling Meng as his disciple in the first place. He was just good with words.

The secret observation was a lie; he had run away, back to Tianling Mountain.

Finding Ling Meng later wouldn’t be difficult, after all, she would grow stronger, ascend in rank, and become a higher leader. A little inquiry by then, and he would know where she was.

On the other hand, she wouldn’t know how to find him, and that was the outcome he wanted.

After hearing Lin Nuo’s words, Ling Meng felt somewhat relieved. So, it wasn’t abandonment, but a trial.

From noble mtl dot come

Indeed, following the master every day, I’ve learned a lot, yet I lack the opportunity to practice independently.

Moreover, it’s been a long time since I left the Demon Refining Sect. Father must be worried, and without any communication, they might think I’ve perished.

“Well then, indeed, it’s time for me to return. I’ll find a way to contact the Demon Refining Sect.”

The persuasion was successful, and a consensus was reached. As they planned to inquire about the nearby location of the Demon Refining Sect, Lino intended to send Ling Meng away first, allowing her to develop independently for a while. Meanwhile, he also needed to find a way to eliminate Su Kexin and seek promotion.

Atop the mountain range, before the cliff, stood several profound witches, along with some beast tamers and ferocious beasts.

The distant altar still radiated dazzling light, and the Three-Day Stone continued to operate, sustaining the land.

“Lord Cang Chao has fallen, and our long-conceived plan has failed.”

“Yes, it is said that a man named Wu Yingge killed the lord. Despite his formidable strength, he met defeat. This righteous group has indeed recruited some strong hands. Should we seek revenge for the lord?”

“Let it be for now. If the lord couldn’t defeat him, we shouldn’t bother. One plan’s failure doesn’t mean all will fail.”

The old witch holding a skull-tipped staff opened a dark portal. “Let’s go, there’s nothing left for us here.”

With that, he stepped into the dark portal, followed by the other witches, beast tamers, and beasts.

That day, everyone remembered the name:

Wu Yingge.

I thought the eldest disciple would be the most popular, but to my surprise, it was the second disciple who was the fiercest. Why can’t the lengthy disciple storyline surpass a midget who’s barely appeared in a few chapters? Is this the XX of human nature, or…

Ps: The midget is about to make her appearance.
