Lin Qingyao looked around and finally fixed her gaze on the stone carving above, and the voice... came from here.

  Lin Qingyao said to the stone statue, "Are you talking?" The clear voice echoed in the empty and spacious hall, with lingering reverberations.

  "Yes."

  The voice was very old and didnt match the person on the stone carving at all, which made Lin Qingyao feel a bit surprised.

  The stone statue spoke, which was indeed unbelievable, but Lin Qingyao, who had seen many strange things in the cultivation world, had a strong acceptance ability at this moment, so she wasnt very afraid.

  Besides, this stone carving looks dignified and majestic, with an air of looking down on the world, it shouldnt be some kind of evil object.

  Even if they are demons, not all of them are bad... there are good ones too. Lin Qingyao thought to this point and was no longer afraid, so she asked: "Who are you? How did you end up in the stone statue?"

  "The withered voice came again: I am just a divine consciousness, attached to the stone carving."

  Divine consciousness? Is it a synonym for the soul? Attachment... Could this be a ghost? The mention of a ghost made Lin Qingyaos heart feel slightly chilly, she had an instinctual fear of these things that couldnt be seen or touched.

  The owner of the hoarse voice, seemingly having noticed Lin Qingyaos unnatural expression, chuckled and said: "You little girl, arent you afraid? I see that youve already reached the second stage of Qi refinement, yet youre still afraid of this lone, wandering divine sense?" Unexpectedly, after finally meeting someone, it turned out to be a timid one. Is this really their fate? Will Yunmen... truly... perish in these ruins?

  Lin Qingyao heard this voice say that she was a Qi Refining Second Stage cultivator, and instantly became curious, no longer afraid. She hastily asked: "You said Im a Qi Refining Second Stage cultivator? How are the stages of cultivation divided?" This divine sense seemed to know a lot and was very easy to talk to; regardless of whether it was human or ghost, she wanted to ask as many questions as possible about things she urgently wanted to know.

  The master of the divine sense did not expect Lin Qingyao to ask such a question, and his tone was filled with thick doubt: "You... dont know you are cultivating?"

  Lin Qingyao nodded, but after nodding, she was afraid that he could only communicate with his voice, so she added: "I dont know."

  "Where did you learn from?" What kind of person is this, who has produced such a disciple, and hasnt even explained the cultivation realm to her!

  "I dont have a sect." Lin Qingyao returned, she had already felt that this divine consciousness would not harm her. If he really wanted to harm her, he wouldnt be chatting with her for so long, so she didnt use lies to cover up her true information.

  "No master? Thats a family heirloom?" The owner of the voice seemed to understand, no wonder she didnt know anything... Some declining immortal families, apart from their cultivation methods, wouldnt pass down anything else.

  "I also have a family heirloom..." Lin Qingyao said, suddenly feeling like she was alone, with a sense of desolation. Her plump body seemed to take on an ethereal quality.

  The voice in the stone statue was thoroughly shocked, and it shouted loudly: "What did you say? You dont have a sect? No family inheritance? Then how did you cultivate?! Little girl, dont deceive me! This wont do you any good."

  He originally wanted to choose her, but if this girl in front of him wasnt even willing to tell the truth, he would rather dissipate in the long wait than choose her!

  Lin Qingyao replied seriously: "I cultivated it myself according to the book..."

  "Is this for real?" The tone was full of disbelief.

  Finally, the voice added a sentence: "Do you dare to make an oath of heart demon? Ensure that everything you say is true?"

  "Whats a Heart Devil Oath?" Lin Qingyao asked in confusion, what is this thing? It doesnt sound like anything good...

  At this moment, a orange-yellow light suddenly flew out from the stone statue and merged into her mind. Her mind suddenly had some more information, and she already understood what it was.

  This is a kind of law that the Master binds himself. After making a vow to the heart demon, if he violates the vow when advancing, he will encounter great resistance.

  Lin Qingyao understood what was going on and didnt resist anymore. What she said were all true, so theres no need to be afraid of this oath. She made a handprint according to the way it was sealed in her mind: "I guarantee that everything I say is true."

  A flash of spiritual light flickered across Lin Qingyaos body, forming a circular mark, but it disappeared in an instant.

  Of course, Lin Qingyao was also afraid that the divine consciousness would tell her that this was not a Heart Demon Oath handprint at all, so when she finished the handprint, she slightly modified it. The handprint looked like it had succeeded, but in reality... it hadnt.

  That divine sense... after all, its just a divine sense, and I didnt expect that a small Qi Refining second stage cultivator would be able to play tricks on me without me even noticing.

  Lin Qingyao made a demonic oath, and the master of the divine sense was delighted! This is simply a rare good seedling! No sect, no family inheritance, can cultivate to Qi Refining Second Layer at will! Such a person, isnt he a genius?

  The master of the divine consciousness quickly calculated that this little girl had no inheritance, no sect, and once she entered her own Yunmen, she would definitely work hard to revive Yunmen! He must make this little girl a person of Yunmen!

  Lin Qingyao saw the owner of the voice, hesitated and didnt want to speak again, feeling a bit anxious in her heart. Just as she was about to ask, the owner of the voice spoke up: "Do you want to become my apprentice?"

  "Ah?" Lin Qingyao didnt expect this person would suddenly say something like that, it was truly shocking to her!

  "Girl, you should know that cultivating on your own is extremely perilous. Without a sect, youre just a rogue cultivator... Even if you achieve success in your cultivation, wherever you go, people will still look down on you..." The voice said persuasively.

  "If you were to bow under my gate, then... you would be a disciple of Yunmen, and from now on, wherever you go, no one will look down on you." The owner of the voice exaggerated his own sect as much as possible.

  Lin Qingyao wasnt a fool, of course she wouldnt believe these words. The stone stele of Yunmen was all dug up by themselves... the great hall of Yunmen was left in such a dilapidated state... could the people of Yunmen still be looked upon with respect when they went out?

  However, Lin Qingyao no longer had such concerns; she truly needed a master to guide her in her cultivation.

  She didnt understand many things, she didnt ask for her masters help, but only hoped that she could quickly understand the world of cultivation!
