Chapter 380: Sudden Status

The cultivators searching endlessly for the intruder grew more solemn. The recent spiritual energy fluctuation clearly indicated someone’s presence, yet they couldn’t see any figure or detect anything with their divine sense.

"Was it our illusion?" Some began doubting themselves. "Did anyone actually enter?"

"No, they’re already here." A blue-robed female cultivator maintaining the formation suddenly interrupted.

"What?" Their expressions shifted again. An undetectable intruder meant superior Cultivation. Tension spiked as they scanned their surroundings.

The blue-robed woman turned slowly, her gaze locking onto You You’s position unlike the others’ frantic searching. "Since you’ve breached our defenses, why hide your true form?"

You You startled, observing the woman. While all present radiated spiritual energy, this cultivator shone brightest, faint purple light shimmering around her.

"That person…" You You transmitted to Yuan Qi. "Why the purple light?"

"Divine status," Yuan Qi replied gravely. "She’s become a True God." His brow furrowed. How could godhood emerge without Heavenly Dao rules?

Understanding dawned. You You descended with Yuan Qi and Feng Rong. The blue-robed woman’s gaze tracked their movement to five feet ahead.

While others kept searching, the leader stepped forward, staring at You You’s location. "Why invade Jingling Institute’s forbidden zone?"

"Headmaster!" Others clustered behind her, weapons ready.

Headmaster.

This True God clearly led the Institute.

"Identify yourself!" she demanded.

You You exchanged glances with her companions. Stealth seemed pointless now. She waved away her concealment spell. "First tell me: How did you capture the Long Clan? How are you converting Demonic Energy to spiritual power?"

Air rippled as three figures appeared. The white-robed leader’s face caused instant uproar.

"Saint… The Saint!"

You You: "……"

What?

The cultivators’ hostility vanished, replaced by fervent excitement.

"She matches the hall statues! The ancient portraits!"

"The legends were true!"

"The Saint’s finally appeared!"

"Ancient prophecies fulfilled! The Mortal Realm is saved!"

You You blinked at their abrupt shift. Saint? That was Yuan Papa’s title. She glanced back at equally confused Yuan Qi.

As the crowd nearly surged forward, the Headmaster alone maintained cold vigilance. "Impossible!" she snapped. "The Saint should’ve come a Hundred Years ago! Why now?"

"But…" others hesitated.

"Who are you really?" the Headmaster pressed.

"You You."

Gasps erupted. "That’s the name from the texts! Headmaster, she—"

"Convenient coincidence!" The Headmaster sneered. "Why sneak in if you’re truly the Saint?" Skeptical eyes noted her Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

"Where did you steal that name?" The Headmaster pressed. "What’s your true goal?"

You You frowned at her strange hostility. "I don’t know your Saint. Answer me: How are you exploiting the Long Clan?"

"Demonic Energy?" The Headmaster’s eyes turned icy. "You consort with the Sin Clan? You want the Holy Spirit!"

Holy Spirit? Before You You could ask, spell swords materialized.

"We’ll never surrender the world’s hope!" the Headmaster declared.

"Don’t make me fight you," You You warned, summoning her blade.

"Seize her!"

The ground quaked as You You gathered Pressure. From the abyss below, golden light pierced through Demonic Energy—a radiant sphere pulsing with irresistible might.

Simultaneous emotions flooded You You’s consciousness: exultation and desperate urgency.

This was…

Feng Rong and Yuan Qi: "Origin!"

Cultivators: "Holy Spirit!"
