Arc 19: Qianyuan Greater World | Chapter 358: Going to Main Sect

Sponsored chapter (2/3)

Since the Zhoutian Immortal Sect has countless subordinate sects spread throughout many middle and lower worlds, those from the lower realms must not forget their duty.

Thus, not only do the leaders of each sect make a customary visit to the Qianyuan Great World every millennium, but when disciples from lower sects reach a certain level of excellence, they are also absorbed into the main sect for secluded cultivation and receive its teachings.

This arrangement is indeed beneficial for those outstanding disciples; if nurtured by the main sect, their chances of becoming immortal increase significantly, which in turn benefits their original lower sects. However, at the same time, entering the main sect also increases the risks they face. The dangers of the Qianyuan Greater World far surpa.s.s those of the Qingyuan Great World.

Xu Ziqing expressed his doubts: “Sect master, how does the Zhoutian Immortal Sect know of my s.h.i.+xiong?”

The sect master sighed slightly, saying, “Any leader of a subordinate sect within the Zhoutian Immortal Sect has unspoken ties to it, and once the disciples enter the inner sect, they are naturally also connected to me, the sect master. Within the main sect, there are several powerful beings with celestial calculation abilities. By leveraging these connections and calculating the fate, they can ascertain such information. In the main sect, calculations are made every fifty years, and it’s likely they just completed one recently, leading to the issuance of this edict.”

Xu Ziqing pondered for a moment before asking, “What kind of talent qualifies for this?”

The sect master glanced at Yun Lie, and admiration appeared in his eyes: “Any who can achieve the Nascent Soul stage below the age of three hundred must be absorbed into the main sect. Yun Lie, having such cultivation at less than two hundred years, is extremely rare in our realm, and even in the Qianyuan Great World, he is considered exceptionally gifted.”

Xu Ziqing looked at his s.h.i.+xiong, filled with a sense of pride. His s.h.i.+xiong’s capabilities should never be underestimated, no matter the place!

The sect master smiled, his tone comforting: “However, there’s no need for you to panic. Although the Zhoutian Immortal Sect is the main sect, over the years, our Wuling lineage has not been entirely absent from it. Once you go there, you will surely find kin who will reach out to you and take care of you.” He paused before continuing, “There will likely be significant dangers within the main sect. This time, only Yun Lie has this opportunity, and Xu Ziqing is allowed to accompany him due to being Yun Lie’s companion. No servants or family members are allowed to follow. Therefore, you must exercise caution in all matters.”

Initially, Xu Ziqing worried about how to navigate this situation. Upon hearing that he wouldn’t have to part from his s.h.i.+xiong, he felt much more at ease and nodded with a smile, saying, “I will not bring shame to the sect.”

Yun Lie slightly nodded in agreement.

The sect master then reminded the two of several points and bestowed upon them many rewards.

Among the gifts were over ten radiant treasures, various spiritual artifacts of differing grades, and a large quant.i.ty of spirit stones for their use.

Despite the numerous dangers in the Qianyuan Great World, being recognized by the main sect was certainly a good thing.

Yun Lie received this honor, and the sect master granted him a second-grade spiritual vein and two third-grade spiritual veins as his private a.s.sets.

With such generous gifts, Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie naturally expressed their grat.i.tude once more before returning to make preparations.

In just a few days, the sect master would use his great powers to break through the barriers between worlds and send them into the Qianyuan Greater World.

Upon arrival in the Qianyuan Greater World, they would have others come to welcome them.

After returning, Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie became quite busy.

First, they needed to instruct the disciples they had painstakingly guided for twenty years. Unable to continue providing direct guidance, they had to encourage the disciples to undertake their own arduous cultivation. They offered insights into their paths forward, emphasizing the importance of focusing on their mental states to acc.u.mulate their cultivation. If there were any uncertainties, the disciples could seek guidance from their master, Qiu He, who had several friends; even if Qiu He could not a.s.sist directly, those friends could lend some help.

After ensuring the disciples were settled, Xu Ziqing hesitated for a long time but ultimately decided not to bring Chonghua with him.

While Chonghua was indeed quick and could be useful, they knew nothing of the Zhoutian Immortal Sect’s complexities. Recklessly taking Chonghua there could lead to unforeseen problems, causing Xu Ziqing to regret it for a lifetime.

Chonghua seemed to understand, resonating with Xu Ziqing’s thoughts. It did not cling but rather emitted a low growl, hinting at a silent determination to work even harder.

Afterward, Xu Ziqing paid his respects to their s.h.i.+zun, Qiu He, and explained the situation in detail.

Although Qiu He felt proud, he was primarily concerned about the disciples’ safety. He advised them earnestly for a long time before reluctantly settling his mind.

After some hesitation, Xu Ziqing refrained from mentioning one matter.

That was the issue concerning Qiu He’s Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Although Master Qiu He is currently only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, if his mental state reaches the appropriate level and he acc.u.mulates enough cultivation, he could rely on the Busuo Fruit to successfully achieve the Nascent Soul stage in one go.

However, even with an eighty percent success rate, there remains a twenty percent chance of failure.

Xu Ziqing initially hoped that Qiu He s.h.i.+zun would refine his cultivation further and not rush to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. He thought that by the time he and his s.h.i.+xiong returned from the Qianyuan Greater World to protect Master, their odds would increase. But then he reconsidered and felt that this approach might not be right.

For cultivators seeking immortality and enlightenment, the journey is inherently fraught with difficulties. Having a companion on this path is already a rare blessing; for all other matters, one should rely on oneself to sharpen their will and advance further.

Xu Ziqing and his s.h.i.+xiong had already acquired the Busuo Fruit and used the Rou Baigu to help their s.h.i.+zun undergo a transformation. If they were to manage even the twenty percent failure rate during the Nascent Soul breakthrough, would it truly be their s.h.i.+zun achieving the Nascent Soul stage, or would it be them?

Even if they a.s.sisted their s.h.i.+zun in in succeeding, the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm would likely only be the weakest Nascent Soul, and his future path to immortality would s.h.i.+ne no brighter.

With this thought in mind, Xu Ziqing abandoned his previous notion.

At the same time, Yun Lie raised a finger and etched a sword mark about an inch deep into the nearby stone wall.

The sword mark emanated a fierce sword aura; even from several feet away, one could feel its sharpness, as if it could cut through skin.

As long as this sword mark remained, Yun Lie would be safe for that duration; if it were to disappear, he would face complete obliteration, with even his primordial spirit ceasing to exist.

This action was merely to rea.s.sure Master Qiu He.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ziqing immediately understood his brother’s intention and silently praised him for his thoughtfulness.

When Master Qiu He learned of the purpose of the sword mark, he too felt greatly comforted.

After the master and disciples exchanged words for half a day, Xu Ziqing followed his s.h.i.+xiong back to the mountain to begin packing their belongings.

With storage bracelets and rings in hand, they packed everything useful, aside from what they would leave for the disciples, into their storage.

After careful consideration, they confirmed that nothing had been overlooked.

Then, they sent a message to the sect master.

#############################

The sect master, his robe sleeves billowing, transformed into a stream of flowing light and swiftly darted ahead. Although still merely a clone, its cultivation had already reached the Divine Transformation stage, far exceeding the current Yun Lie.

Yun Lie, with Xu Ziqing half-embraced, also transformed into black-gold light, closely following.

Despite the sect master’s impressive speed, Yun Lie held his ground, managing to stay within three steps behind him.

The two streaks of light entered a desolate mountain wilderness.

While this place appeared similar to others, Xu Ziqing sensed something amiss upon arrival.

It wasn’t detected through divine sense or by sight; it was merely a feeling.

A sensation emanated from the wild gra.s.s and spa.r.s.e trees in this desolate area.

When the sect master glanced over, he noticed Xu Ziqing’s unusual demeanor and a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

It seemed this disciple’s future prospects were likely not inferior to Yun Lie’s.

The two of them indeed made for a pair of naturally complementary talents.

Now, within the Wuling Immortal Sect, having an outstanding disciple like Yun Lie, who has garnered the attention and acceptance of the main sect, brings both concern and excitement to the sect master.

While others only see the splendor of the Wuling Sect dominating the eastern region in the Qingyun Great World, he knows that their lineage is gradually declining within the Zhoutian Immortal Sect.

It has been many years since new blood was injected into their ranks.

In many resource compet.i.tions, there are often fractures that work to their detriment.

If this continues, if the Wuling lineage keeps being suppressed, their status in the main sect will diminish, and whether they will be bullied by other second-grade sects is uncertain.

Now, with Yun Lie reaching the Nascent Soul realm at under two hundred years of age and his swordsmans.h.i.+p being exceptionally domineering, his offensive power is undoubtedly extraordinary.

Although his companion Xu Ziqing is currently only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, there is a hint of a dangerous power within him that even the sect master perceives. Once he can fully cultivate this power, it could bring about earth-shattering changes—because he is Yun Lie’s companion, he can enter the Qianyuan Great World ahead of others, ensuring his achievements will far surpa.s.s those trapped in the Qingyun Great World.

As long as he doesn’t die prematurely, he will be a cornerstone of the Wuling lineage!

With such thoughts, the sect master’s expression remained impa.s.sive. He waved his sleeve, and the barren mountains and wilderness before him began to change.

It was as if a thin veil had been gently lifted, revealing a towering pillar that reached into the clouds!

The three of them soared into the air, their escape light flas.h.i.+ng swiftly, and before long, they had reached the highest point.

Upon landing, Xu Ziqing suddenly noticed that the ground beneath him was flat, as if crafted from jade, without a single flaw.

The sect master raised his hand, holding a sharp object resembling a golden lance, about the length of a forearm, rounded at the top and pointed at the bottom.

He lifted it and made a swift cut toward the void ahead—

In an instant, a black ray shot out from the tip of the lance, as if it were slicing through a curtain, tearing the void apart.

Right before them, a narrow black fissure suddenly appeared.

The fissure rapidly stretched and elongated, as if it were being torn, continually pulling apart to the sides.

In just a few breaths, it visibly transformed into a large opening!

A deep, black gaping hole that stirred up countless hurricanes!

Xu Ziqing gasped.

The hurricane was immense, and even before it was fully unleashed, it felt as if it could shred him to pieces! One could imagine that if he were truly caught within it, even his physical body as a Golden Core cultivator would struggle to withstand the tearing force!

Unless… he used Rongjin to envelop himself. Quickly, he began to formulate a plan in his mind.

The sect master was upright and n.o.ble, so he likely would not harbor any ill will towards Rongjin. However, despite its advantages, relying solely on his true essence growing within his flesh might not withstand consumption. What if, midway, his true essence ran out and Rongjin had to withdraw? What would he do then?

At that moment, the sect master suddenly smiled and said, “This dimensional door’s storm is quite unusual; pa.s.sing through will cost you two a great deal, which is not worth it. You should conserve your energy to deal with the main sect; let me handle this small matter along the way.” With that, he swept his sleeve, enveloping both of them within it. Then, with a flicker of his figure, he transformed into a dot of light and plunged into the boundless darkness.
