I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds
Chapter 96: Ma Liang: Senior Brother Xinghe, great news!

How is the Grand Sky Sect going to turn this around?

Chu Xinghe also wondered how the sect could turn this situation around!

They had left the world's geniuses standing in the snow for three days and nights. Countless Chosen couldn't take it and left in anger, with over half of them gone now, many of whom were top-ranked.

In this situation, how could they possibly lose?

Ma Liang had been losing sleep these past few days, watching more and more Chosen leave, feeling that something was terribly wrong.

But at this moment, seeing Senior Brother Xinghe's confident demeanor, Ma Liang suddenly realized something!

Senior Brother Xinghe wasn't insulting them; he was testing them. This time, the test wasn't about their cultivation talent but their character.

Senior Brother Xinghe had once said that on the path of cultivation, he had hesitated but never taken a step back.

It was this grand aspiration that brought forth the Grand Sky Sword Box.

This year, a once-in-a-century genius; next year, a once-in-a-millennium genius. Wasn't he also known as a once-in-a-millennium genius?

If we only talk about talent, back then, he could have rubbed Senior Brother Xinghe's face in the dirt.

There was a time when he didn't accept Senior Brother Xinghe, but everything that happened later proved that while talent is important, sometimes character is the most crucial thing on your cultivation path.

How many geniuses are discovered every year? But what happens later?

Some of these geniuses fall, but more often, they have no future because of their arrogance.

The Grand Sky Sect has countless geniuses, but how many truly reach the peak?

At this moment, Ma Liang finally understood Senior Brother Xinghe's painstaking efforts.

Senior Brother Xinghe was indeed unfathomable. Everyone misunderstood him. He wasn't insulting people; he was testing everyone. If today you can't even withstand some wind and snow, how will you withstand the hardships on the path of cultivation?

If you leave the Grand Sky Sect today, will you betray the sect when it faces difficulties in the future?

Senior Brother Xinghe is truly wise!

Thinking of this, Ma Liang got up and walked out to the martial arts training ground.

It was clear that the number of people on the martial arts training ground had halved, and those who remained stood there with expressions of extreme anger and humiliation.

"I'm done with this!" Suddenly, someone shouted and walked out.

"I'm done too... If the Grand Sky Sect doesn't want us, just say so. Why make it so difficult?"

"Exactly, if the Grand Sky Sect likes the people from Muyue Nation, then just go find those useless ones from there!"

A group of people cursed as they walked out.

Hearing this, Ma Liang couldn't sit still any longer!

"How dare you!" Ma Liang roared, even using his spiritual power.

"You so-called Chosen, you're nothing but flowers in a greenhouse in my eyes. Do you know what cultivation is? Do you know the painstaking efforts of Senior Brother Xinghe?"

"Each of you thinks you're amazing because of your extraordinary talent? Come on, come on... Stand out and speak. I, Ma Liang, was the top of the top three last year, with a perfect score in the first round and topping the second round. Who among you surpassed me? Stand out!"

Ma Liang's words quieted the scene significantly.

"Think you're extraordinary? Each of you has been pampered since childhood. Have you experienced hardship? Do you know what it means to be tempered? Senior Brother Xinghe once said that the path of cultivation is as hard as climbing to the heavens. He once hesitated but never retreated. But look at you... retreating after three days of wind and snow. Do you deserve to cultivate? Do you deserve to be called Chosen?"

Ma Liang vented his anger. These little brats had no idea of Senior Brother Xinghe's painstaking efforts. Senior Brother Xinghe could endure, but he absolutely could not.

"You may have heard that Senior Brother Xinghe is known for his virtue in the Grand Sky Sect, and his character is impeccable. Would he insult you? Do you deserve it? Senior Brother Xinghe used this wind and snow to let you know that the hardships of the cultivation path are as unstoppable as this descending wind and snow. Only those who can truly press forward against the wind and snow and clear the clouds can see the clear sky and bright sun!"

After Ma Liang's speech, he felt completely at ease, and the scene quieted down because of his words.

It was as if even the heavens were cooperating with Ma Liang. The three-day-long wind and snow stopped, the thick clouds in the sky parted, and the clear sky and bright sun appeared.

Ma Liang looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

But just as Ma Liang finished venting and was about to turn and leave, a strong wave of energy suddenly erupted behind him!

What the hell? A breakthrough?

No! This wasn't the wave of a breakthrough in spiritual power; it was... a wave from an epiphany!

Ma Liang turned to see a young man at the front looking up at the sky, exuding a peaceful aura.

The anger from feeling insulted by three days and nights of wind and snow vanished at this moment. He looked at the sky and finally understood the painstaking efforts of Chu Xinghe in Ma Liang's words. He had broken through... and it was a breakthrough in his state of mind.

It's often said that cultivation level is easy to advance, but the state of mind is difficult!

Compared to a breakthrough in cultivation level, a breakthrough in the state of mind is as hard as climbing to the heavens.

Ma Liang never expected that his words would lead someone to a breakthrough in their state of mind?

But just as Ma Liang was lost in thought, another wave of state of mind breakthrough came...

Damn, someone else broke through?

And it wasn't just one... At this moment, breakthroughs in the state of mind seemed contagious, as the remaining geniuses looked up at the sky and their states of mind broke through wildly.

One... two... more and more...

Countless people entered a state of enlightenment on the scene.

The first young man to break through in state of mind knelt in front of Ma Liang.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ma Liang, for your guidance!"

Ma Liang was stunned...

"You shouldn't thank me; you should thank Senior Brother Xinghe. You've finally understood his painstaking efforts."

"I'm simply not human... I cursed Senior Brother Xinghe in my heart all day yesterday. Thinking back now, Senior Brother Xinghe truly went to great lengths for us, and we didn't know at all..."

"You're wrong. This is the brilliance of Senior Brother Xinghe's methods. If you knew in advance, how could you break through in your state of mind?"

Ma Liang wore an inscrutable expression.

And at this moment, more and more people began to break through in their state of mind. Ma Liang looked around and couldn't count them all!

Every disciple who completed a breakthrough in their state of mind was teary-eyed.

At the start of this ridiculous assessment, they all felt insulted, but now they understood that this wasn't an insult; it was Senior Brother Xinghe's painstaking efforts.

"Quick! Go inform Senior Brother Xinghe, there's a result! Forget it! I'll go myself!"

Ma Liang couldn't bother to instruct others. With so many people breaking through in their state of mind at once, Senior Brother Xinghe would surely be overjoyed!

I, Ma Liang, am truly a lucky star!

Ma Liang sprinted all the way to the other residence, where Chu Xinghe was minding his own business, humming "Congratulations on Getting Rich."

Hearing that the geniuses were about to give up, he thought that after today, another large batch would leave. The sect would probably send someone over, and what kind of punishment would he face?

Would he be expelled from the sect... hahaha... that would be great...

"Senior Brother Xinghe! Great news!"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Ma Liang rushed in excitedly and detailed everything that had happened outside.

"Crack..." The chair under Chu Xinghe shattered into pieces from his excessive force.

Chu Xinghe looked at Ma Liang in confusion, feeling like he wanted to die.

What the hell? Those people outside broke through? And it was a breakthrough in their state of mind?

Senior Brother Xinghe's painstaking efforts?

Painstaking my ass!

Ma Liang, you're truly something. I must have dug up your family's ancestral grave in a past life because you never fail to disappoint me in screwing me over!

Chu Xinghe was dragged by Ma Liang to the martial arts training ground, and upon seeing the scene, Chu Xinghe almost choked and was nearly sent off on the spot.

The martial arts training ground was filled with people sitting cross-legged, exuding a peaceful aura. This was clearly a state of enlightenment, a sign of an impending breakthrough in the state of mind.

But a breakthrough for one or two is fine, but what's the meaning of breaking through in droves?

You were tormented by me for three days and nights... you stood in the wind and snow for three days and nights, and now you're addicted to being tormented?

"We pay our respects to Senior Brother Xinghe. Your painstaking efforts will never be forgotten."

A group of geniuses who had completed their breakthroughs bowed in respect, their eyes filled with admiration for Chu Xinghe.

This was the legendary Senior Brother Xinghe, the one truly deserving of being called the number one of the younger generation!

We were too shallow... too superficial!

We actually thought Senior Brother Xinghe was insulting us. Who are we to deserve that? What kind of existence is Senior Brother Xinghe? Do we even deserve it?

We even insulted Senior Brother Xinghe before. Thinking about it now, we're simply not human!

And those Chosen who left, now everyone realized they didn't deserve to be called Chosen at all.

If they couldn't endure even this bit of hardship, how could they challenge the martial path in the future?

Indeed, Senior Brother Xinghe used the simplest method, yet it contained the deepest meaning, successfully filtering out all those unworthy of entering the sect!

Deacon Yang also heard the news and rushed over. Seeing the mass breakthroughs in state of mind, Deacon Yang was dizzy.

Compared to breakthroughs in cultivation level, breakthroughs in state of mind are incredibly difficult. How many Chosen have gone astray because their cultivation level advanced too quickly, but their state of mind couldn't keep up?

But today, Chu Xinghe's actions led so many disciples to break through in their state of mind.

It's truly like sifting through sand to find gold!

Those who remain are the real gold. What bullshit talent, talent only means you enter the path faster than others, but a high state of mind is truly high.

Deacon Yang thought of the words "wait and see" sent back by the spirit bird earlier, and at this moment, he finally understood. The Sect Master and the Great Elder are indeed the strongest; only they can see the essence of things!

From being defeated in the top three to various unreliable actions later, Xinghe's efforts were truly painstaking. He wasn't acting recklessly; he wanted everyone to think he was acting recklessly. Only by pressing these kids to the bottom could they truly rebound.

Today, Deacon Yang was completely convinced by Chu Xinghe, not because of his status or position, but entirely because of his methods...
