When Yun Jin said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
What did this mean?
Yun Jin frowned slightly, she's still thinking about this matter.
If there were no corroboration from her previous life, she wouldn't have thought in this direction.
But she remembered.
In her previous life, Yang Yun and his subordinates had indeed perfectly concealed their aura.
Among them, some were demons, and some were demonic cultivators.
Yet they could openly take action with no one discovering any problems.
If it was only Yang Yun, it would be understandable.
He's the Demon Lord and had his own unique methods of concealing his aura.
It's normal for ordinary people not to be able to detect him.
But if actual high-level cultivators were conducting detailed inspections, even if it's Yang Yun, there would still be a risk of being exposed.
Then how did those ordinary demons and demonic cultivators evade detection?
There's definitely something wrong with this matter.
Perhaps.
They possessed something that could conceal their aura.
Yun Jin also thought of the black qi she had taken from the disciples of Qingxiao Pavilion.
Those five Qingxiao Pavilion disciples clearly had demonic qi hidden within them.
But.
Even with so many people, no one could detect even the slightest clue.
Including the top experts of the human race, none of them discovered the existence of this demonic qi.
Only after she killed Duan Yiwei and the others did the demonic qi emerge.
Such concealment ability was terrifying.
Yun Jin even began to suspect.
Could the entire Qingxiao Pavilion have already fallen into demonic cultivation?
This time, her master and the others had gone to investigate. It's uncertain whether they could uncover anything.
If there really were some heaven-defying concealment method, then this time, her master and the others might also return empty-handed.
Qingxiao Pavilion.
Yang Yun.
Demonic cultivation.
The Demon Clan.
And the completely hidden aura.
All of this seemed to weave into a massive net, making even Yun Jin feel a faint pressure.
If these demons had really suddenly obtained a unique method to conceal their aura, and one that even top experts couldn't detect, then this situation would be quite troublesome!
It might even lead to a great calamity!
And those missing rogue cultivators.
Previously, only places without sect protection had rogue cultivators going missing.
This indicated that those acting in the shadows were still cautious.
They didn't dare act openly.
But recently.
Even nearby areas had begun to have rogue cultivators go missing.
What did this prove?
It proved that they had suddenly become unrestrained.
Perhaps this was because they had mastered a method of concealing their aura.
If their aura couldn't be detected, it would be very difficult to discover their actions.
The Demon-Destroying Alliance would also have difficulty tracking them.
If this continued to develop.
In the future, no one would know whether the people around them were human or demon.
No one would be able to trust anyone.
Everyone would harbor suspicion.
Mutual suspicion, mutual wariness, mutual probing.
If the entire environment became like this.
Then.
Even without the demons taking action, the human race would destroy itself.
Yun Jin's expression became increasingly serious.
The key now was to determine whether they could really conceal their aura so perfectly.
If they really could.
What should be done to counter this?
Yun Jin had a premonition.
If this matter couldn't be resolved, the investigation at Qingxiao Pavilion would likely yield nothing.
A dignified holy land was actually already infiltrated by demons early on, yet for so many years, no one had noticed anything unusual.
This in itself was abnormal.
Yun Jin was thinking about this matter.
Yue Zhao and the others remained quiet and didn't disturb her.
Yun Jin narrowed her eyes and issued a command to the system.
"System, investigate all combat power above Fusion Stage within a radius of a thousand meters!"
This would cost 100 high-grade attempts.
But Yun Jin used it without hesitation.
She had to know.
To what extent the situation had progressed.
Was that Yang Yun planning to act in advance?
He had clearly been imprisoned in the labor room, logically speaking, he should've been unable to recover his strength.
Yet he still took action, so how did he do it?
While the system was investigating, Yun Jin opened the main quest panel to take a look. This time, she focused on the tasks related to the Qi Luck of the male and female protagonists.
Then.
Her expression slightly changed.
Yang Yun's Qi Luck was still 89 points.
But Ye Danxia's Qi Luck had directly dropped to 10 points!
A Qi Luck of 10 was already no different from that of an ordinary person.
Ye Danxia was, after all, someone with a Celestial Spirit Root. No matter what, her Qi Luck shouldn't have dropped this low.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people's Qi Luck values were generally between 1–10.
Among mortals, only those with extremely great fortune could reach 10 points.
But.
For cultivators, the starting point was usually 10 Qi Luck points.
Because in such a world, possessing a spiritual root itself was a form of luck.
No matter what the quality of the spiritual root was, it at least meant one had the possibility of stepping onto the path of immortality.
That alone was incomparable to the wealth and glory of the mortal world.
Yet Ye Danxia, who had a Celestial Spirit Root, now had Qi Luck comparable only to the very top among mortals.
What exactly happened to her?
Has something gone wrong with her Celestial Spirit Root aptitude?
One must know.
Such a situation had never appeared in the book. In the book, Ye Danxia's aptitude had always been top-tier, and her cultivation speed had been unmatched among her peers.
But now.
Her Qi Luck had fallen to this level, there's definitely a problem.
Combined with Yang Yun's stable Qi Luck, could it be… that this male protagonist had done something to the female protagonist?
That's most likely it.
At this point.
Yun Jin found it a bit laughable.
In her previous life, the love these two had for each other was stronger than gold, mutually tender and affectionate. Neither could leave the other.
In this life?
Just a slight change in the plot, and the two had nearly reached the point of mutual destruction.
No, it couldn't even be called mutual destruction.
In the book.
Yang Yun had fallen in love with Ye Danxia, which allowed him to become her support and her aid.
But in this life.
It's clear that Yun Jin had cut off the possibility of their love from the beginning. With Yang Yun's scheming nature, if he wanted to act against Ye Danxia, she would have no room to resist.
This was never mutual destruction, it was a one-sided crushing by Yang Yun.
In the current situation.
Ye Danxia's Qi Luck had almost reached the lowest possible point.
Unless she died, her Qi Luck wouldn't drop to zero.
For Yun Jin, a Ye Danxia with 10 luck points was no longer worth being cautious about.
Now, Yang Yun, who had gathered the Qi Luck of two people, was the true target that needed focus.
She was currently lacking Emotion Points. If she could reduce Yang Yun's Qi Luck value, she could claim the rewards of the main quest, and at that time, a large amount of Emotion Points would naturally be obtained.
Speaking of the main quest, Yun Jin remembered that she still had two main quests. With everything happening recently, she had almost forgotten.
First was the main quest "Ascending to Immortality in One Step".
Now, the progress of this main quest has already been updated.
It had become:
"Ascending to Immortality in One Step. Current cultivation: peak Soul Transformation Stage. Ascension progress: 30%. Two rewards available."
When she was at peak Golden Core Stage, she had claimed one reward at 10%.
Now she could claim the rewards for the 20% and 30% stages at once.
Up to peak Soul Transformation Stage, the progress was only 30%, which suggested that the major portions lay ahead.
At Tribulation Crossing Stage and Mahayana Stage, perhaps each small breakthrough could grant 10% progress.
But at that stage, the difficulty of advancing even one small level would likely surpass advancing an entire major realm now.
