Ye Luo knows that the reputation of the Wudang Sect has already spread far and wide, but among these loose cultivators, there are certainly many with ulterior motives.
Currently, the Wudang Sect has just been established, and it will take time to cultivate loyalty among its disciples. Thus, if disciples have reservations about the sect, he doesn’t mind, but if someone from other factions with ulterior motives is sent, he cannot tolerate it!
Those cultivators believe their disguises are flawless, but in front of Ye Luo, they are not worth mentioning! His divine sense, after cultivating that particular technique, has become extraordinarily powerful.
At night, Ye Luo sits cross-legged in the grand hall, and an incredibly strong divine sense emanates from his mind.
As soon as a stream of divine sense leaves Ye Luo’s body, it instantly transforms into countless strands, like small snakes, quickly dispersing in the air above the grand hall.
At the same time, those loose cultivators are already cultivating in their respective cave mansions and grand halls.
The cultivation levels of these loose cultivators vary greatly; most are Earth Martial Realm cultivators, and there are even a few Cyclone Realm cultivators who have just entered. As for Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators, they are extremely rare! Any Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator would either have nearly exhausted their lifespan, or have some defect that stops their cultivation path; otherwise, such cultivators would be precious treasures to any sect!
Although Ye Luo is strong, the Wudang Sect is newly established, and its foundation is far inferior to those of the great sects. Those with outstanding talent would surely not choose this place.
Qiong Yao arranged different living places according to the different realms of these loose cultivators.
For instance, those Earth Martial Realm loose cultivators with slightly better talent, as well as Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators, were all arranged to stay in the grand hall, while others with lower realms and ordinary talent were placed in cave mansions.
Although this setup seems unfair, nobody objected. In any sect, strength speaks volumes, so Qiong Yao’s arrangement was considered reasonable.
Suddenly, many cultivators opened their eyes, sensing a divine sense drifting in from outside.
The expressions on these cultivators varied greatly; some looked completely astonished, while others merely sneered.
"Humph, just a mere divine sense, trying to probe my essence? I’ll make sure it never returns!"
A middle-aged man opened his eyes, revealing a cold gleam and his expression became ferocious.
This weak divine sense speaks volumes to the middle-aged man; it should be Wudang Sect’s arrangement to probe the loose cultivators. This method is quite common, something he had prepared for prior to arrival. However, he hadn’t expected that the probing divine sense would be just this thin!
Is this a joke? This wisp of divine sense could easily be eliminated even by an Earth Martial Realm cultivator who hasn’t cultivated any divine sense.
"Could it be that the top layers of Wudang Sect are all fools?" The middle-aged man sneered immediately. Concurrently, a rather potent divine sense emanated from his mind, quickly enveloping the incoming wisp of divine sense.
Obviously, he intended to annihilate that wisp of divine sense!
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The seemingly weak strand of divine sense began devouring his, much like a wolf among sheep, rapidly consuming the divine sense he sent forth.
Witnessing this scene, he instantly became panic-stricken, as such bizarre behavior was a novel experience for him!
When he sought to retract his divine sense, he discovered that the strand had already been thoroughly consumed!
Instantly, he was terror-stricken, as it wasn’t just a matter of consumption; that strand of divine sense had grown stronger!
What kind of entity can devour others’ divine sense for its own use? Isn’t this against the natural order? Moreover, he hadn’t cultivated divine sense, yet the consumed divine sense already inflicted some harm upon his foundation!
Yet, unexpected things occurred.
That strand of divine sense invaded his mind, and he felt a thunderous roar, as if his mind was about to explode, causing his thoughts to cease and his ability to act to be stripped away.
This sensation was akin to this body having no affiliation with him. His soul trembled unceasingly, completely succumbing to suppression of a higher order!
Could it be, this divine sense wasn’t intended for Wudang Sect’s probing, but rather belonged to a remnant soul of some ancient powerful being?
The more he thought about it, the more likely this seemed. Otherwise, how could Ye Luo achieve such a feat, regardless of his strength?
"No!"
Yet, something even more terrifying occurred!
The divine sense began probing his sea of consciousness! This means his secrets would be laid bare before this divine sense!
To disclose, even so, wouldn’t be significant; however, his sea of consciousness had been restricted. Should a powerful divine soul invade, the restriction would be triggered immediately!
Yet, completely devoid of thought and action, how could he impede the divine sense’s incursion!
In an instant, his sea of consciousness exploded, his memory ceasing at that moment!
That night, this middle-aged man wasn’t the only loose cultivator whose soul was scattered; likely, dozens were!
At dawn, Ye Luo slowly opened his eyes, all the dispatched divine sense returned. Of course, Ye Luo forcibly dispersed all the divine soul power he had absorbed from these divine senses. Even if absorbing all divine soul power would boost his divine sense to a terrifying level immediately!
Yet, that would bring him immense disaster, as that divine soul power wasn’t condensed or pure! No matter how it was refined, it would carry a trace of the original owner’s divine sense within, akin to a time bomb in the body, Ye Luo would certainly not act so foolishly.
"Humph, these powers with ulterior motives, now let’s see how they’ll apologize!" Ye Luo snorted coldly.
Soon after, Wudang Sect witnessed a strange phenomenon: among the loose cultivators seeking to join the sect, before any action from the sect, thirty percent were dispersed! Thirty percent were quite substantial, immediately rendering the sect slightly deserted.
Moreover, those departing were mostly gifted loose cultivators residing in the grand hall, leaving the hall empty, only housing mediocrity, causing Qiong Yao and Xiao Wu several others to feel quite downcast.
