Lin Ye stood in the vast cultivation area of the Inner Sect of Tianyuan Sect, his heart filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation. After a long period of cultivation and assessments, today, he had finally stepped into the Inner Sect, entering the cultivation world he had long yearned for. The Inner Sect of Tianyuan Sect was vastly different from the Outer Sect—not only was the spiritual energy much denser, but the cultivation resources were also more abundant, and even the disciples' cultivation environments were far superior. Lin Ye knew that this place would be the starting point of his path toward power and revenge.
However, behind entering the Inner Sect, hidden currents surged—opportunities and dangers coexisted. Lin Ye knew that his true trial had only just begun.
1. Attention from the Elder
On the first day of entering the Inner Sect, Lin Ye felt an unusual atmosphere. Most of the disciples in the cultivation area were immersed in their own training, and the mood was quiet and solemn. Here, the disciples were far stronger than those in the Outer Sect—even the most ordinary disciples possessed spiritual energy and combat abilities much more powerful than those in the Outer Sect.
But for Lin Ye, none of this was the most attractive part. On the contrary, he was more focused on the potential dangers and opportunities hidden behind his newly obtained identity.
He quickly noticed that the Inner Sect disciples were not only powerful but also had complex backgrounds. During the Inner Sect selection, he had especially caught the attention of an elder. That elder had not intervened in the selection process but had been watching Lin Ye the entire time, as if sensing some unusual aura from him. Lin Ye was startled, knowing that this elder was by no means ordinary—he must be one of the core figures of the Tianyuan Sect Inner Sect.
That elder’s gaze was sharp, seemingly capable of seeing into one’s soul. When he looked at Lin Ye, although his face remained expressionless as usual, Lin Ye could still feel a strong sense of scrutiny. It was clear that the elder had already seen through the compatibility between Lin Ye’s demon bloodline and the Tianyuan Sect’s cultivation techniques. Even so, the elder did not expose him on the spot, but instead allowed him to enter the Inner Sect smoothly.
“Whether you can go further depends on your own choices,” the elder said indifferently. These words felt like an invisible warning, or perhaps a kind of test.
Lin Ye did not respond. He knew that the upcoming cultivation life would surely be filled with complex probes and challenges. This elder would obviously be secretly observing his every move. Lin Ye understood that this was not just an ordinary selection—it was a crucial step in his revenge plan.
2. Inner Sect Environment
After entering the Inner Sect, Lin Ye was brought to a cultivation area far away from the noise of the Outer Sect. Here, the spiritual energy was extremely dense, and the surroundings were filled with tranquility and mystery. The disciples here were all focused on their training. The entire Inner Sect felt like a holy land for cultivation, with rich spiritual energy permeating the air—just taking a breath made every cell in his body tremble.
“This is where you’ll cultivate,” the Inner Sect elder who brought him here said coldly, his tone carrying a hint of authority.
Lin Ye nodded, took a deep breath, and felt the flow of spiritual energy and the intense fluctuations of power. He already knew that here, his cultivation speed would greatly increase—and this would be his greatest reliance in continuing to investigate the secrets of Tianyuan Sect.
The cultivation grounds for Inner Sect disciples were far more advanced than those of the Outer Sect. Each disciple had an independent training space, not only able to freely draw spiritual energy, but also soak in spiritual energy pools to cleanse the impurities within their bodies—greatly improving their cultivation efficiency. Lin Ye immediately began his training plan, and through the resources provided by the Inner Sect, his cultivation advanced rapidly in just a few days. The fusion between his spiritual power and demon power became even smoother.
As his cultivation deepened, Lin Ye also gained access to more advanced techniques and martial skills of the Tianyuan Sect. Among those techniques were mysterious and ancient inheritances. Lin Ye used this knowledge to cleverly adjust his cultivation method, integrating the Tianyuan Sect’s techniques with the power of the demon race—reaching a new level of cultivation.
However, the Inner Sect disciples were all extremely talented and powerful. Although Lin Ye had broken through a bottleneck in a short time, he still appeared somewhat lacking in comparison. To avoid attracting attention, he kept a low profile and avoided conflicts with other disciples, quietly accumulating his strength.
3. Secret Investigation
Although his cultivation speed had increased, Lin Ye’s focus remained on the depths of the Inner Sect of Tianyuan Sect. He began using his identity as an Inner Sect disciple to access areas that were previously out of reach. He discovered that deeper within the Inner Sect, there were more secrets—secrets closely tied to spiritual crystals, mineral veins, and mysterious altars.
Lin Ye occasionally came into contact with Inner Sect elders and disciples who controlled key resources. From their conversations, he gradually picked up some clues. The mining of spiritual crystals in Tianyuan Sect seemed not only aimed at enhancing disciples’ cultivation but also served a more mysterious purpose. The powerful energy hidden behind those spiritual crystals seemed to be intricately connected to the runes left on the altars.
While training in the Inner Sect, Lin Ye also began visiting relatively secret places. Disguised as a cultivation-focused disciple, he accessed some core areas of the Inner Sect, only to find that these areas were heavily guarded and protected. He did not act rashly, instead choosing to observe and gather information—waiting for the right moment to make a breakthrough.
By chance, Lin Ye learned that some Inner Sect elders had already begun secretly using spiritual crystals to plan a secret sacrificial ritual. And the object of the sacrifice seemed to be no ordinary spirit creature, but some ancient existence. A strong sense of unease rose in Lin Ye’s heart. As the investigation deepened, he gradually realized that the conspiracy within Tianyuan Sect was far more complicated and dangerous than he had imagined.
4. Conclusion
Lin Ye’s successful promotion to the Inner Sect meant that he finally had the opportunity to access the core of Tianyuan Sect. However, as the investigation deepened, he gradually discovered that the secrets hidden within the sect were far beyond his expectations. The elder’s attention, the mysterious sacrificial rituals, and the enigmatic uses of the spiritual crystals all pushed Lin Ye into deeper contemplation.
He knew that the challenges he faced had only just begun. The crisis hidden deep within the Inner Sect would only grow more severe. Lin Ye’s path of revenge might become even more arduous and complex within this cultivation world full of hostility.
