#340 - Chapter 340: Xinghe Sect

Star River Sect.

The Grand Elder was at Star River Plaza, suppressing his grief as he handled the aftermath.

After this battle, one-third of the Star River Sect disciples had directly fallen. This was even with the disciples from Carefree Peak joining the battle later; otherwise, even more would have perished.

Besides them, the Sect Leader's life or death was also currently unknown.

"Each peak will construct a Hall of Honor and a cemetery. All fallen disciples will be buried in the cemeteries of their respective peaks! The names of all fallen disciples will be inscribed on the Hall of Honor in cinnabar ink, while the names of surviving disciples will be inscribed in black ink!"

"All spoils from this great battle will be prioritized for distribution to each disciple and the families of the fallen!"

"Now… you may rest."

After the Grand Elder spoke the last sentence, countless disciples collapsed onto Star River Plaza.

They were exhausted.

Three days and three nights of continuous battle had greatly depleted their bodies.

Now, it was finally over.

Taking over all the sects in Lianyun Continent was a complicated matter, but with the help of the Star Observation Pavilion, it wasn't much of a problem for the Star River Sect.

The great battle was over; it was just a matter of taking over all the territories.

At this moment,

Luo Yangtian lay beside Ye Kong of Carefree Peak.

Yao Zidan was treating him from the side but could only shake his head helplessly.

"Alas, the Sect Leader's spiritual power is exhausted, and his meridians are broken. I'm afraid… there's no hope of recovery."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression instantly turned sorrowful.

"What's there to be sad about? Now that my Star River Sect has conquered Lianyun Continent, my death is worth it," Luo Yangtian said with a smile.

He had used all his strength to deal with the two sect leaders, forcefully blasting one of them to death.

The other, relying on the dissolution of his body, severely injured Luo Yangtian.

But at that time, the battle wasn't over, so Luo Yangtian could only grit his teeth and lead the Star River Sect disciples to continue fighting.

When his last breath was exhausted, the spiritual power in his body also dissipated.

"Is there… no way at all?" Liu Ruyan looked at Yao Zidan.

Yao Zidan lowered his head helplessly and shook it.

"I am incompetent and unable to heal him."

"Ye Kong."

Luo Yangtian suddenly called out.

"What is it?" Ye Kong turned his head and glanced over.

"You won't die."

Ye Kong took out a medicinal pill.

"Open your mouth!"

"Don't waste it; I'm beyond saving," Luo Yangtian shook his head.

"No, there's hope!" Yao Zidan said excitedly.

As soon as he said this, hope instantly ignited in the hearts of the peak masters.

"How can we save him?" Xiao Wu asked excitedly.

"This pill is an eighth-grade Spirit Recovery Pill, possessing very powerful medicinal effects. As long as the Sect Leader takes it, he will recover within three days, and perhaps even reach a higher level!" Yao Zidan said excitedly.

Only Great Emperors could refine this pill; it was extremely precious.

"Master, isn't this the pill that Senior Sister gave you?" Little White said from the side.

He still remembered that Senior Sister didn't want anything at the time, only a medicinal pill.

"Yes, I won't use it; let the Sect Leader use it," Ye Kong said, looking at Lin Yaoyao not far away.

"Disciple, what do you say?"

"Don't ask me; what I give you is yours. You can use it however you want," Lin Yaoyao pouted.

Ye Kong smiled, looked at Luo Yangtian, and said softly, "Sect Leader, open your mouth!"

Luo Yangtian shook his head and said, "This was given to you by your disciple; I am ashamed to accept it."

"Moreover, I will die without regrets and can leave in peace."

"Ye…"

"Cough cough…"

Before Luo Yangtian could finish speaking, Ye Kong directly and accurately threw the pill into Luo Yangtian's mouth.

"Don't spit it out; it's already in your throat. I'll be disgusted if you spit it out." As Ye Kong spoke, he covered Luo Yangtian's mouth with his hand.

Luo Yangtian had no choice but to swallow it.

He had originally wanted to spend his last moments talking and chatting with Ye Kong.

But he didn't expect to be saved by Ye Kong.

This left Luo Yangtian at a loss for words.

The peak masters were even more silent.

This pill was extremely important to Ye Kong; after all, he might be able to cultivate after taking it.

But Ye Kong gave it to the Sect Leader.

Ye Kong looked at everyone's expressions and then at the Sect Leader, smiling faintly, "The sect has you, so I can be idle!"

After speaking, Ye Kong waved his fishing rod.

As long as Luo Yangtian was still around, he could continue to be idle and fish every day.

After hearing Ye Kong's words, Luo Yangtian closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, solemnly saying, "As long as I am here for one day, Carefree Peak will never be disturbed!"

"Mm," Ye Kong nodded, then added, "I won't see you back to rest."

As soon as he said this, the others used their spiritual power to lift Luo Yangtian and take him back to the Star River Hall to rest.

After they left, Lin Yaoyao walked to her master's side and said, "Master, you still haven't taken the Spirit Recovery Pill."

Ye Kong shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Disciple, the Spirit Recovery Pill isn't of much use to Master."

Ye Kong clearly understood himself; it wasn't that he couldn't cultivate, but that he had refined too much Qi.

To establish a foundation, he could only gather enough Foundation Establishment Fragments.

Otherwise, eating more things wouldn't be as fast as fishing.

"Maybe it will be useful," Lin Yaoyao muttered.

Ye Kong reached out and rubbed Lin Yaoyao's head, saying, "Teacher knows his own body very well. If it were useful, I would have eaten it long ago."

Lin Yaoyao pulled away her master's hand and said, "Master, I'm not a child; don't touch my head."

Ye Kong awkwardly retracted his hand; he was used to rubbing Ye Qingjun's head.

"Alright, you're about to reach the Shackles Realm, right?" Ye Kong asked.

"Mm," Lin Yaoyao nodded.

The Shackles Realm was about putting a layer of shackles on oneself, so that a cycle would form within the body.

After putting shackles on the whole body and breaking them, one would become a Venerable.

This process was very complicated, but also very necessary.

No destruction, no construction, that is the Venerable!

"Cultivate well. The world is about to change. Only with greater strength can you gain a firm foothold in the turbulent world of cultivation," Ye Kong said in a deep voice.

"I know," Lin Yaoyao nodded, then added:

"Oh, right, Master, Little White has become more and more arrogant recently. I think it's time to teach him a lesson and temper his temper."

After Little White came back from the competition, he became arrogant again.

"You may," Ye Kong nodded.

"But I can't find an excuse to teach Little White a lesson," Lin Yaoyao said helplessly.

Although Little White was arrogant, he didn't cause trouble on Peach Mountain, so she couldn't find an excuse to teach Little White a lesson.

"Does teaching Little White a lesson need a reason?" Ye Kong asked.

Lin Yaoyao was stunned upon hearing this; it seemed that it was indeed not necessary.

Ye Kong pointed to Little White not far away and said, "Look, Little White stepped with his left foot and stepped on Little Blue. Shouldn't he be beaten?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoyao looked at Little Blue, who was invisible on her shoulder.

Little Blue understood and flew to Little White's feet.

"Mm, what did I step on?" Little White felt that he had stepped on something soft and looked down, seeing two pairs of shining eyes.

"Meow~"
