Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 708: Chapter 42: Wei Dongliu’s Sharp Critique of the Three Pure Ones Chapter 708: Chapter 42: Wei Dongliu’s Sharp Critique of the Three Pure Ones Big disciple Guo Jin went to undergo tribulation, and the second disciple Wang Cong dealt with governmental affairs, so Wei Dongliu suddenly felt a weight lifted from his shoulders.

“Very good, this is what life should be like for a Sect Leader.

How can dealing with governmental affairs all day long qualify as being a Sect Leader?

It’s more like being a rubber-stamp!”
Next, he just had to leisurely wait for news from the Golden Que Secret Realm.

For several days, Wei Dongliu slacked off like this without receiving any news, but Wen Yang from the Nether Ghost Path did come for a visit.

“Brother Wei.” In the guest hall, as soon as she entered, she said with a smile, “I have reached Core Formation.”
“Oh?

Congratulations,” Wei Dongliu said calmly.

“And what of Sister Jiang?” Wen Yang looked around for a moment.

Jiang the Witch had been gone for several days; did you really not know she had already left Mount Wutai?

What’s the point of pretending to be an ignorant maiden!

“There is business at the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Path; she went back first,” Wei Dongliu replied.

“I see,” Wen Yang then showed an expression that read, “Although I was looking for her regarding some matters, since she’s not here, there’s nothing I can do about it, I might as well chat with you,” and then with a beaming smile, she complimented him, “Sect Leader Wei, the Mortal Life Path was once in decline, but now it has risen once again under your leadership, and this has become a praised tale within the Six Paths.”

“There are even some who, based on your name’s homophony, have started calling you ‘Prospering Path Sect Leader,’ which means that no matter how decrepit a sect may be, as long as Sect Master Wei is the leader, there is a possibility for swift prosperity.”
“Hehe, it’s nothing,” Wei Dongliu was greatly pleased, but still modestly said, “I’ve just done a bit of trivial work, and it doesn’t warrant such exaggerated praise from everyone.”
Wen Yang heard this and playfully winked, saying,
“Trivial work?

Not only within the Six Paths but even the Three Pure Orthodox Sect, which prides itself as the Righteous Path, regards your capabilities with a mix of jealousy and awe.”
“Even the Head of the Kunlun Sect said your talents are not inferior to Changgeng True Person, which is laughable.

Although Changgeng True Person is a First Grade Golden Core, he has only shown prowess in cultivation and never demonstrated any talent in governing a sect.

How could he compare with you?”
“I think Kunlun is really on a downward spiral…” Although Wen Yang was sycophantically flattering, she was still very good at reading the room and seeing Wei Dongliu looking somewhat speechless, she assumed it was due to his concern for Qiu Changtian’s strength, and hastily said, “Let’s not talk about that, I’ve come this time precisely to inform you about the matter of the Golden Que Secret Realm.”
“Oh?

Please go ahead, Brother Wen,” Wei Dongliu finally took interest.

???g?.??

Although it was pleasant to hear the beautiful Wen Yang sing his praises, the practice of alternately flattering and belittling was indeed unwise, especially since the person she was belittling was another identity of his.

“We’ve pretty much found out about the timing and personnel the Three Pure Ones are sending to the Golden Que Secret Realm,” Wen Yang said with a charming smile.

“How about you guess, Sect Leader Wei, which new talents of the orthodox sects will be dispatched this time?”
“Hmm,” Wei Dongliu began to guess in a showy manner, “First, according to the requirements of the Golden Que Secret Realm, only Golden Core True Persons should be able to enter.”
“That’s correct,” Wen Yang said with a smile.

“Secondly, among the disciples of the Three Pure Ones who achieved one of the twelve chief positions in the previous large competition at White Jade Capital, if they are now Golden Core True Persons, they must surely be on the list for the Secret Realm exploration,” Wei Dongliu made his judgment.

“Why is that?” Wen Yang uttered in surprise and then smiled, “Indeed, those who have won the twelve chief positions of White Jade Capital are likely to be the elite Foundation Establishment disciples of the Three Pure Ones, and the grade of their Golden Cores cannot be low.”
“Not only that,” Wei Dongliu continued, “If I were the Sect Leader of the Three Pure Ones, I would certainly consider whether there might be some subtle connection between the chief positions of White Jade Capital and the chief positions of the Golden Que Secret Realm?”
“For such unconfirmed possibilities, even if it’s just to give it a try, they would have the motivation to push out disciples to seize the position of the master of the White Jade Capital.”
“That makes sense,” Wen Yang said, appearing utterly impressed, “Brother Wei’s thinking is meticulous, and I am no match for him.”
After Wen Yang turned into a woman, why did it seem like every other sentence she said was flattery?

Wei Dongliu continued, puzzled in his heart:
“In that case, Changgeng, Qiong Ying, Jiao Xiao, Qing Heng, Dong You, and Jingyun, these six must be on the list.”
“Back then they were only at Foundation Establishment, but now they have already reached Core Formation,” Wen Yang couldn’t help but sigh, “How numerous are those in the Three Pure Orthodox Sect who advance a thousand miles a day in their cultivation!”
“So, there are two from each of the Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai.

Brother Wei, do you have any guesses for the remaining spots?”
“It’s not difficult,” Wei Dongliu said calmly, “These six have not been in the Core Formation for long, and their magical competition strength definitely can’t compare with those in the Obscure Weave Rank who are seasoned Golden Core True People.

Therefore, the Three Pure Ones will surely send the chief disciples within the Golden Core Realm, who are immediately below the Nascent Soul, to escort and protect these six.”
“The number one person in the Kunlun Golden Core Realm is Han Yuan; the number one person in the Shushan Golden Core Realm is Jinghua; Penglai is more difficult to guess, but if we limit the scope to the lineage of the Master of Xuandu, those who are experts in Talisman Scripts or Alchemy, then there actually aren’t many possibilities.”
“Brilliant.” This time Wen Yang was truly impressed, her eyes shining with admiration, “No wonder the Head of the Kunlun Sect said that Brother Wei is a ‘great concern for the heart of the Orthodox Sect.’ Just with this insight and vision, who in the entire Cultivation Realm could match it?”
“Among the people deployed by the Orthodox Sect this time, Han Yuan, Changgeng, Qiong Ying, Jinghua, Jiao Xiao, Qing Heng, Tian Lan, Jingyun, Dong You, the nine people you guessed, Brother Wei, are all correct.”
“As for the other three, guessing them is truly difficult.

Why not guess which sect under the Three Pure Ones they are from?”
“It’s definitely Shushan without a doubt,” Wei Dongliu answered without hesitation.

“This…” In an instant, Wen Yang was so shocked that she nearly lost her composure, fearing that there had been an information leak within the Nether Ghost Path, but she quickly calmed herself and probed with a smile, “Why is that?”
“It’s easy to guess!” Wei Dongliu laughed heartily, “The key lies in which sect discovered the Golden Que Secret Realm.”
“If Kunlun made the discovery, given its pride as the leader of the Orthodox Sect, they would most likely opt for an equal division of spots, meaning four people from each sect.”
“But since Brother Wen asked me where the remaining three are from, indicating one sect has deployed six people, unless the Golden Que is located within the Kunlun Mountain Range, the Taiqing Sect would not likely act so ostentatiously.”
“Now looking at Penglai.

Ever since Penglai was besieged by the Six Paths, its vital energy greatly damaged, it knows its strength is waning, thus the strategy has been to align with Kunlun and befriend Shushan.”
“Simply put, that is to ‘yield to Shushan for advantage, seek shelter from Kunlun.'”
“If Penglai was first to discover the Golden Que Secret Realm, then there’s a high likelihood for a five-four-three distribution: three from Shushan, and Penglai and Kunlun either five-four or four-five depending on Kunlun’s attitude.”
“Only if Shushan was the first to find the Golden Que Secret Realm would they, with the prestige of the Shangqing Sect, dare to monopolize half of the spots.”
“Indeed so,” Wen Yang admitted, thoroughly convinced, yet a sense of alarm began to rise within her heart.

Wei Dongliu was not only unfathomably powerful, but his vision and strategic prowess were also terrifying; no wonder he was valued by the Blood Sea Ancestor, surpassing even direct disciples in prestige!

To our Nether Ghost Path, those who are above average among the Mortal Life Path are actually not to be feared, but this Wei Dongliu…

throughout the entire Nether Ghost Path, there is no one who can contend with him!
