My disciples are all villains.

In the northern pavilion and the western pavilion in the Evil Sky Pavilion.

The female cultivators who were sweeping the stairs halfway up the mountain looked up at the blue lotus and the four avatars. All of them stopped what they were doing to look at this impressive sight.

The four humanoid avatars were the size of a mountain as they supported the leaves of the blue lotus. Power was leaking from four directions.

Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng looked up at the four avatars as well.

A tidal wave of power fell from the skies.

"What's that?"

"Such intense vitality and Primal Qi!"

The duo had been stuck in the Divine Court realm for a long time. This avalanche of Primal Qi and life energy made their dantian's sea of Qis stir. They exchanged a glance before sitting down on the ground, no longer caring about what was happening at the other end. After all, they could not be of any help. They were better off seizing this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough.

"Not going to form a Golden Lotus?"

"Nope."

Both of them came to an agreement on their cultivation method.

…

Meanwhile.

Lu Zhou poured all of his Heavenly Writing's extraordinary power out. This was the most extraordinary power he had used to unleash the power of immaterial existence. Unlike the previous occurrences, he was now using it to save someone. Previously, it had only been used to kill.

Visit many places without having to move, reaping many benefits.

Heavenly Writing's chant swelled and rose in volume as it entered the blue lotus.

Mingshi Yin was dumbstruck. Was his master out of his mind? Why would his master go so far as to save a young girl he barely knew? At this moment, he saw the four avatars around the blue lotus.

"The four elders' Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars!" Little Yuan'er ran out and looked at the golden flashes of energies in the skies.

Primal Qi and the Heavenly Writing's extraordinary power complemented each other. The golden and blue shone down the mountain with increasing intensity like an expanding ocean.

The trees grew abundantly at the halfway point of the mountain, and the withered plants around the gazebo were revitalized.

Birds and beasts chirped and roared in joy and leaped in excitement among the trees.

At the foot of the mountain, even the plants were rejuvenated.

The withered trees at the places where the battle with the grand shaman, Ba Ma, had taken place were given a new lease on life.

Everything was growing again.

...

Inside the southern pavilion.

Princess Yong Ning walked out of her room as she endured the uncomfortable sensation in her body. She was stunned when she saw the impressive sight, standing riveted to the spot. She widened her eyes and muttered, "Pretty…"

She heard Si Wuya mention that the Evil Sky Pavilion could not be violated. He had also mentioned the evil and unclean aspects of Golden Court Mountain. However, how could she believe someone else's words without witnessing it for herself? Now that she had witnessed this, she disregarded the rumors she had heard. If she could, she wanted to throw away her status as a princess and stay here forever.

…

Cultivators around Golden Court Mountain stopped to look at the impressive scene.

The citizens of Tangzi Town laid down their hoes and stopped their labor as they looked at the flashes of light in the distance. Although they could not get a clear look, the golden and blue radiances usually meant something positive. This time, it made them feel fearful but respectful at the same time.

…

Under the support of the four avatars, the huge blue lotus nearly covered the entire Evil Sky Pavilion.

The four pavilions were filled with the blue lotus' energy.

"I can't hold it anymore." Hua Wudao was the first to speak.

"Just a little longer!" Leng Luo said encouragingly.

"Who's the pavilion master trying to save anyway? Does he have to cause such a huge scene?"

"Regardless… our objective is to help the pavilion master!"

The four of them exchanged a glance and nodded. All of their faces, without an exception, were glistening with sweat. Maintaining a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar for a long time was no small feat, after all. It was incredible that they could even hold out for so long.

A moment later, the four Elders began to sway on their feet.

"On my count, we'll retreat together," Leng Luo said in his deep voice. It would be too much for them if they kept this up. They would be hurt.

"Alright."

Leng Luo's avatar shifted slightly.

Lu Zhou sensed movement in the skies, and he gauged his extraordinary power again. In a few short breaths, he would run out of extraordinary power. Everything hinged on this final moment… 

He could meditate again to replenish his extraordinary power. However, if this young girl were to die, her secrets would die with her.

Whizz!

The Heavenly Writing's power was at its maximum output at this moment.

The four avatars retreated at the same time. As they retreated, a leaf appeared on them.

"They sprouted leaves!"

"No way! They sprouted leaves at the same time!"

The four avatars sprouted leaves simultaneously!

They were now in the One-leaf Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.

What a majestic sight it was to behold!

Sprouting a leaf signified that they had grown stronger again.

The four avatars grew larger as they sprouted their leaves. From their 10-foot height, they grew to 20 feet at the same time. 

The four elders were, naturally, overjoyed!

"Again?" Hua Wudao asked hesitantly.

Since they had a breakthrough, it meant they could now keep going.

However, Zuo Yushu said, "There's no need for that." She recalled her avatar from the skies and said again, "The pavilion master is stopping."

The others felt it as well. If the pavilion master stopped, it was meaningless for them to continue.

At the same their avatars vanished, the blue lotus faded out of sight as well.

The four elders staggered backward. Although they had a breakthrough, it did not mean it was any less taxing on their bodies.

"Let's adjust our breaths here."

…

Similarly, Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng had a breakthrough as well. However, their breakthroughs were not as impressive. They were rookies among Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivators. Although they formed Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars at the same time, and their cultivation bases were similar to the elders of the Old Age Pavilion, the actual difference between their strengths was as different as heaven and hell.

The commotion of their breakthroughs was completely overshadowed by the blue lotus.

In any case, they had gotten the help they needed and were now officially in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.

...

Inside the room of the southern pavilion.

Everything was silent.

Lu Zhou had done everything he could. He stroked his beard as he looked at Conch before he placed two fingers on her wrist. After a brief examination, he frowned deeply.

Perhaps, he was terrified by this huge disturbance, Mingshi Yin fell to his knees with a thud and said, "I've made a mistake. I didn't mean to harm her!"

When Little Yuan'er saw this, she raised her hands, pouted, and wiped away her tears.

Lu Zhou looked at the two of them and reprimanded them, "Be quiet!"

"Oh." The two of them shut their mouths at once.

Lu Zhou did not have the time to listen to them. He sensed the Extraordinary Eight Meridians in Conch's body had been completely connected. Her dantian's sea of Qi had been activated!

"How's this possible?" Lu Zhou thought he was hallucinating. He examined her again. After his examination, he confirmed that Conch was now a Mystic Enlightening realm cultivator with five connected meridians.

He really could not figure it out. A normal cultivator would have to undergo Body Tempering first. Body Tempering cultivated the muscles, bones, and tendons. The body had to be tempered from the inside out, including the Extraordinary Eight Meridians. When the conditions were right, the cultivator would enter the Mystic Enlightening realm. After connecting five meridians in the Mystic Enlightening realm, one's senses would be greatly sharpened.

A human's body was a container. When the container's quality was raised, it would be more tolerant to the havoc wreaked by Primal Qi. Primal Qi could be condensed into energy that protected the cultivator as they breathed and moved. This was how it was for a cultivator. Nobody could skip this step, and yet, Conch had easily entered the Mystic Enlightening realm!
