Chapter 259: Handed Over to the Master

Silently, Wu Yuan found himself in the majestic divine temple.

Wu Yuan felt a momentary blur, and the surroundings had completely changed. His gaze instinctively swept across the surroundings.

Picturesque mountains and flowing water, lush greenery, countless exotic beasts leisurely strolling on the land.

Except for a floating sky city, this vast land showed no traces of civilization.

Next to him was the still dirty-looking Southern Hidden Immortal.

"Master, where is this?" Wu Yuan couldn't help asking.

"Longxing is a supreme treasure left by the Ancestor, connected to the entire sect headquarters, even Heavenly Immortals cannot shake it," the Southern Hidden Immortal chuckled. "Therefore, a large number of Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals in the sect will establish mansions on Longxing. This thousand-mile radius is my mansion."

"This mansion on Longxing is a restricted area with invisible barriers, known only to Sword Immortals like you and the Sect Master," the Southern Hidden Immortal explained.

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

In a single sentence, the Southern Hidden Immortal's mansion was highly confidential.

"I have authorized your mansion world. From now on, you can use the teleportation array to come directly to me. However, you can only come here, don't wander around Longxing," the Southern Hidden Immortal said with a smile.

"Yes," Wu Yuan responded.

Longxing could only be freely accessed by the sect's immortals, while disciples like him could only stay in their respective master's mansions.

"Also, if you have an emergency, you can contact me through the Longxing Immortal Realm," the Southern Hidden Immortal added.

"And what about the Crimson Moon Immortal Realm?" Wu Yuan asked in confusion.

"No way to contact. My existence won't be known to the Crimson Moon Divine Palace. I never appear in the Crimson Moon Immortal Realm," the Southern Hidden Immortal said with a smile.

"Understood," Wu Yuan replied, secretly astonished.

Indeed! A massive sect with Heavenly Immortals, even if subservient or affiliated with the Crimson Moon Divine Palace, would not be absolutely loyal.

In Wu Yuan's view, the relationship between the Crimson Moon Divine Palace and the Longxing Immortal Sect was like vassals within an empire.

"Follow me," the Southern Hidden Immortal said, flying towards a distant palace.

Wu Yuan quickly followed.

The main hall was grand, but its interior was very simple. Besides a few jade platforms, it seemed empty.

"Disciple, sit down," the Southern Hidden Immortal said.

They sat facing each other.

"Disciple, do you know why, after practicing for tens of thousands of years, I have never taken on a disciple?" the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled.

"Disciple doesn't know," Wu Yuan shook his head honestly.

"Your Master excels in the way of the stars. However, very few disciples in the sect can enter this path. Even if they can, most only reach the Refining Void Realm or become Earth Immortals," the Southern Hidden Immortal sighed.

Wu Yuan nodded slightly; he was aware of this.

Lower laws, middle laws, and even the legendary higher laws were not mutually exclusive but intertwined, collectively forming the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Weak cultivators, due to their weak spiritual energy, often could only touch the surface of the Dao at the beginning.

As comprehension deepened, they would naturally cross the threshold from lower to middle laws, but the depth of comprehension varied.

"Your talent is extremely high, no less than Sword Immortal Dongyang. In fact, you are much higher. You've also received the inheritance of the Great Witch Fuxi's 'Stellar Code.' In these eight years, I have been guiding you and observing you. Your every move has been under my watch," the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled. "I am very satisfied with your talent, perseverance, and conduct, which is why I decided to take you as my disciple."

"Master, it's hard to find a disciple better than you," the Southern Hidden Immortal said.

Wu Yuan was shocked to hear this.

Every move.

But then he let it go; the Southern Hidden Immortal had management authority in the Longxing Immortal Realm, likely holding high authority within the sect.

"However, I still have doubts."

"Although your talent is extraordinary, at the time in the Tianxing Source Land, you had not yet stepped into the path of the stars. Logically, you shouldn't have received the inheritance so early."

"You should know, this inheritance has been in the Tianxing Source Land for tens of millions of years," the Southern Hidden Immortal casually mentioned.

Wu Yuan felt his heart stir.

Yes!

Getting the inheritance of the 'Stellar Code' was indeed a bit strange. According to Wu Yuan's speculation, it should be because of the Black Tower.

But there was another possibility—Witch!

Wu Yuan's body-refining true self is the Earth God Body, a second-grade Witch Foundation. The spirit of the Qi-refining true self originates from the body-refining true self.

However, these are just Wu Yuan's speculations.

After obtaining the inheritance of the "Stellar Code," as his cultivation continuously improved without any hidden dangers, Wu Yuan never delved deep into these thoughts.

"Moreover, there are four other perplexities."

"First, your origin. The sect traced your background but could only find the fifth-grade city, Fengchuan City. Beyond that, there's no trace. We can only know from the 'Crimson Moon Immortal Judgement' that you are indeed a living being from the Crimson Moon Immortal Continent," the Southern Hidden Immortal chuckled.

Wu Yuan's mind became more chaotic.

In major sects, taking in disciples or even immortal disciples is never that simple. Clarifying one's background is essential.

"Secondly, I carefully investigated your physique. Ideally, you should excel in the wood element. However, your comprehension is in the earth element, and in the path of the stars, you exhibit extraordinary talent," the Southern Hidden Immortal shook his head. "Thirdly, your flying sword count, despite having only a third-grade Immortal Foundation, you possess nine personal flying swords. Does this mean that upon entering the Sea of Qi realm, your spirit reached the level of a Yang Soul?"

"Fourthly, the 'Mysterious Yellow Sword Canon' is a sword technique at the level of Heavenly Immortals. Although it's somewhat circulated, it's not widely known. You should have a master," the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled. "Disciple, can you enlighten your master on these matters?"

Wu Yuan's heart trembled.

Terrifying!

Truly an Immortal, he had almost seen through everything. Each sentence hit the critical points.

"Everyone has secrets, and I am not here to force you," the Southern Hidden Immortal spoke softly. "But, my seventh heavenly tribulation is approaching."

"Failure is highly probable."

"You are my only direct disciple, and for the sake of the sect, I must clarify some things," the Southern Hidden Immortal revealed a set of large yellow teeth and said, "At least, you need to tell me about your origin."

Plop~

Wu Yuan left the jade platform and knelt directly.

"Master, disciple did not intend to conceal anything."

Wu Yuan gritted his teeth, whispering, "It's just that there are things disciple is uncertain about, worrying in my heart, and I haven't dared to speak."

"Uncertain and afraid to speak?" The Southern Hidden Immortal continued to smile. "Is it because you have a body-refining true self from the Witch lineage? Also skilled in the way of the Earth?"

Boom!

Like thunder on a clear day!

Wu Yuan remained calm outwardly, but his heart was already churning with shock.

This! This! How accurate is this?

Wu Yuan considered himself well-hidden, never revealing the slightest hint. To his knowledge, not even a Heavenly Immortal could directly see through.

Two true selves, except for the shared consciousness, the connection weakened in other aspects over time.

"Haha, it seems I've guessed right," the Southern Hidden Immortal seemed to sense Wu Yuan's intense emotional fluctuations.

"Master is insightful," Wu Yuan lowered his head, his heart in turmoil.

He didn't know how to broach the subject.

"I can't directly see through it, just deducing from various signs," the Southern Hidden Immortal chuckled. "Rest assured, although the Witch lineage is rare on the Crimson Moon Immortal Continent, it does exist."

"Besides."

"For more than a hundred thousand years, in the river of time, although there has been constant war between the Immortal Court and the Witch lineage, my Taiyuan Divine Court is a neutral force. You don't need to worry about this," the Southern Hidden Immortal laughed.

"Yes," Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, what he worried about the most was this – that the Crimson Moon Divine Palace and the Witch lineage were hostile forces.

Neutral is good!

However, the Southern Hidden Immortal's next statement also surprised Wu Yuan.

For more than a hundred thousand years, the war between the Immortal Court and the Witch lineage has been ongoing?

He recalled the words of the Realm Lord, suggesting that the great battle ten thousand years ago was likely a conflict between the Immortal Court and the Celestial Witches.

Now, it seemed highly probable.

"Now, can you tell me about your origin?" the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled.

"Yes."

"Disciple's original name is Wu Yuan, from the Xia Mountain World," Wu Yuan honestly said. "The place where I lived in my youth is called the Central Land Continent... Finally, the body-refining true self used the teleportation array and arrived at the Crimson Moon Immortal Continent. I believe Master is already aware of the events that followed."

Wu Yuan quickly recounted his past life experiences, deliberately concealing three things.

First, the matter involving the Blue Star.

Second, the Black Tower.

Third, the bestowed Witch Mark.

All other content was truthful.

This was Wu Yuan's decision made after careful consideration in a very short time.

Continue hiding?

That would be mocking the intelligence of the Southern Hidden Immortal.

But laying it all out? Wu Yuan hesitated as the involvement of the Black Tower was too significant, and the originally rare bestowed Witch Mark was equally exceptional.

"I see, Xia Mountain World? I have never heard of it. It seems to be a small world affiliated with an Immortal Continent," nodded the Southern Hidden Immortal lightly.

What kind of existence was he?

Comparable to a Heavenly Immortal.

Although he couldn't directly peer into Wu Yuan's thoughts, judging from the changes in Wu Yuan's spirit, he could determine if Wu Yuan was lying or not.

"So, your body-refining true self has even greater talent than the Qi-refining true self and is a second-grade Witch Foundation," the Southern Hidden Immortal chuckled.

"Master," Wu Yuan's heart tightened.

"Rest assured, whether it's one true self or the other, it's still you, no difference. Besides, having multiple true selves is a good thing," the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled. "Cultivating two true selves, external factors are not the most important; the key is a high demand on the spirit."

"Among Purple Mansion cultivators, very few can reach this level. Most sects' Purple Mansion legacies rarely mention having two true selves."

"But you succeeded in the Ling Body realm? Indeed frightening," the Southern Hidden Immortal shook his head in admiration.

He looked at Wu Yuan with an increasingly fond expression.

Who wouldn't like an outstanding disciple? He was already quite satisfied with Wu Yuan.

And now, Wu Yuan's level of talent exceeded his imagination once again.

Second-grade Witch Foundation?

He was well aware of what that meant.

"You will tell me the coordinates of Fengchuan City's teleportation array, as well as more detailed information about Xia Mountain World. I will visit Fengchuan City," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "I will also use the sect's power to search for clues about Xia Mountain World."

"I will handle this matter."

"However, the Immortal Continent is vast, with countless affiliated small worlds. Just our sect alone has tens of thousands of attached small worlds."

"So, the investigation will definitely take some time."

Chapter 260: Master Won't Let You Down

"So many small worlds?" Wu Yuan was somewhat surprised.

He had thought that the number of similar small worlds wouldn't be too high.

"Yes," nodded the Southern Hidden Immortal. "The Red Moon Immortal Continent contains the complete source of the world. Under the rules of the world's operation, the birth and destruction of countless small worlds is quite normal."

"Ordinary top-tier sects generally control thousands of small worlds."

"Many second-tier and third-tier sects can control fewer, with only dozens or hundreds," chuckled the Southern Hidden Immortal.

Wu Yuan nodded.

"However, in the Immortal Continent, the forces that truly control a large number of small worlds are the Red Moon Immortal Palace, the Blood Refining Demon Palace, and the Ten Thousand Axe Divine Temple," the Southern Hidden Immortal sighed. "Especially the Red Moon Immortal Palace and the Blood Refining Demon Palace; I estimate they control millions of small worlds."

"Millions of small worlds?" Wu Yuan's heart trembled.

It should be noted that over the years in the sect, Wu Yuan had also gained some understanding. The sizes of small worlds varied, ranging from tens of thousands to millions of miles, all capable of supporting numerous living beings. Although, in comparison to the territories controlled by top-notch sects, each small world might not be considered large, the sheer number was still significant. They served as a pool to select talented individuals, and there were also other special purposes.

"Xia Mountain World, although I have never heard of it, according to what you say, it was affected by the great war ten thousand years ago," the Southern Hidden Immortal reflected. "Back then, that war swept across more than half of the Green Mound Great Boundary. However, my Taiyuan Divine Court is a neutral force, and we only suffered minor impacts."

"So, finding it shouldn't be difficult."

Wu Yuan listened.

It seemed that the master had a deep understanding of the great war back then.

"Your body-refining true self has extremely high talent, but staying in a small world has somewhat delayed you," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "If you can break through, you can come to the sect and receive better cultivation."

"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded lightly.

To say that he had no concerns in his heart would be false. However, facing the pressure from the Southern Hidden Immortal, Wu Yuan had no choice.

The methods of an Immortal were unfathomable.

Lie?

One lie would require countless lies to cover it up, and sooner or later, it would be exposed. How would the Southern Hidden Immortal think at that time?

Wu Yuan weighed the options repeatedly and finally chose to conceal crucial information, trusting the Southern Hidden Immortal.

In the end, Wu Yuan didn't think there was anything worth the other party's scrutiny. The legacy of the Houtian Tribe? Ridiculous! In terms of strength, even at its peak, the Houtian Tribe was not as powerful as the Dragon Star Immortal Sect. Not to mention a broken Ding Wu Realm.

"The two true selves share a single consciousness, so the insights into the Dao are shared," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "As for the unique skills of the body-refining practitioner, such as the source technique, the construction of the divine palace, and the cultivation method of the dharma image, I cannot teach you. You must explore on your own. The sect has relevant methods and the cultivation experience of predecessors, which you can exchange for using Dragon Crystals."

"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded.

Qi-refining practitioners and body-refining practitioners followed two completely different paths, and the differences became more significant as they progressed. Therefore, the master couldn't guide the specifics of body-refining cultivation.

"What I can teach you is the Dao! The path of Qi-refining," said the Southern Hidden Immortal.

Wu Yuan nodded.

"Although you are my only disciple, don't expect me to give you a large number of treasures for free. I have plenty of treasures," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "Whether you can obtain them depends on your abilities. I have never liked those who wait with their hands out. If you have the ability, go and fight for it yourself."

"This will be the same for you in the future."

"When you are weak, I will formulate a good training plan for you. However, when you become strong, you will have to rely on yourself. Even if I fail the next Heavenly Tribulation, most of the treasures will be placed in the sect's treasure vault."

"Yes, Master. I will work hard," Wu Yuan said.

He understood that this was the method many powerful immortals used to train their disciples. They would motivate and sharpen their disciples through various means.

Getting something for nothing? That would only harm the disciple.

With motivation, there was hope for greater strength.

In a place like the Red Moon Immortal Continent, in extremely dangerous trials, even if a disciple died, the sect's elders would not intervene.

The struggle on the immortal path was so cruel.

"Now that you have just become my disciple, I will give you a treasure," the Southern Hidden Immortal turned his palm, revealing a large crystal.

Purple, somewhat transparent, cubic.

It seemed to be the purest thing in the world. In terms of beauty, it was undoubtedly one of the best treasures Wu Yuan had ever seen.

"What is this?" Wu Yuan held his breath.

"Its name is Divine Crystal," the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled lightly. "I think that little Zuo Haiyue mentioned its value to you."

"Divine Crystal?" Wu Yuan was suddenly surprised.

He naturally remembered.

This was a treasure even Immortals would value.

"One cubic Divine Crystal is worth one hundred billion Source Crystals," the Southern Hidden Immortal said lightly. "This small piece is worth about ten billion Source Crystals."

Wu Yuan's heart pounded.

Ten billion Source Crystals?

According to the master, was this an introductory gift for himself?

"Normal Divine Crystals have such concentrated and pure spiritual energy that even absorbing them in the Violet Mansion Realm would harm oneself."

"And this small piece of Divine Crystal, I have set up a micro-array that allows you to absorb it safely," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "In the future, use it to cultivate True Yuan. It should last until the ninth level of the Violet Mansion."

"Remember, don't sell it, only use it to cultivate True Yuan," the Southern Hidden Immortal instructed. "It will be several times faster than using Source Crystals for cultivation. You now have more time to comprehend the sword and the Dao."

"Master, ten billion Source Crystals just to help the disciple reach the ninth level of the Violet Mansion, several times faster?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but say, "Isn't that too extravagant?"

You should know.

Ordinary Violet Mansion cultivators, in terms of wealth, usually had around a million Source Crystals.

"This is the first thing I want to teach you. Don't think life is long. In the path of immortality, every moment counts. The sooner you enter the Violet Mansion Realm or even the Illusory Void Realm, the better," the Southern Hidden Immortal shook his head. "You will understand in the future."

"In addition."

"Disciple, you should broaden your horizons. You are my only direct disciple, and even compared to some Immortal disciples, you are not much inferior," the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled. "After all, those Immortals, with their long lives, pay more attention to themselves. Over the long years, they will recruit many disciples, treating them all equally, making it difficult to invest heavily in cultivating a specific disciple."

"But you are different. I have only you as a disciple. As long as you are competitive enough, I won't let you down," the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled.

"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded heavily, feeling a warmth in his heart.

He felt the master's enthusiasm.

He also felt the master's value for him.

"Continue." The Southern Hidden Immortal threw this small piece of Divine Crystal to Wu Yuan, who quickly reached out and took it.

"The second thing is Dao comprehension."

The Southern Hidden Immortal continued, "You should continue to focus on comprehending the 'Starfall Sword Canon,' with an emphasis on the Dao of stars and the Dao of the earth."

Wu Yuan nodded, which he had been doing all along.

"However, in addition to the existing two sword scriptures, you should also practice the 'Everlasting Sword Canon,'" the Southern Hidden Immortal said.

"The Dao of Wood?" Wu Yuan was stunned.

Although Wu Yuan was not very familiar with the top-level sword scriptures of the sect's Immortal-level, he still knew the names and some general information about these top-notch sword scriptures.

"Yes," said the Southern Hidden Immortal. "The 'Everlasting Sword Canon' interprets the Dao of Wood and contains the mysteries of the Wood Dao."

"Your Qi-refining true self actually has a high talent in the Dao of Wood, but it has not been discovered yet," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "You should make use of it."

"Master."

Wu Yuan couldn't help but say, "Isn't it said that life is limited, and one should fully devote oneself to researching a certain path?"

"That is the thought of mediocre talents," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "In cultivation, you should indeed fully devote yourself. However, you must also remember a saying: in the world, all things are interwoven, and the various Dao principles are never absolutely isolated."

"I am letting you comprehend the Dao of Wood for future plans."

"When you become powerful in the future, you will naturally understand," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "Of course, if you progress slowly in the Dao of Wood after a certain period of contemplation, it's not too late to give up."

"Yes," Wu Yuan agreed and noted down the 'Everlasting Sword Canon.'

He felt that the master wouldn't deceive him.

However.

If comprehending the Dao of Earth and the Dao of Wood, Wu Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this the rhythm for doing construction work with earth and wood?"

"Next."

"Until you enter the Violet Mansion Realm or achieve true comprehension in the Dao of Stars, continue as usual, accepting my guidance once a month," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "In the early stages of Dao comprehension, the most taboo thing is to deviate from the path."

"So, following the path of the predecessors who have become Immortals will not go wrong."

"When your strength gradually becomes powerful, reaching the realm of true comprehension, you can then try to create a sword path that suits you best," the Southern Hidden Immortal said.

Wu Yuan nodded.

If you can't walk the path steadily and just want to run, that's foolish.

No matter how high your talent is, at the beginning, you still have to learn from your seniors. Only when you have accumulated enough can you truly forge your own path.

"In the coming years, there are only two requirements for you from me," the Southern Hidden Immortal looked at Wu Yuan.

"First, the Dragonstar Duel, with only one requirement: first place!"

"To seize the first place, besides the normal sect rewards, I will also reward you with an additional one billion Source Crystals," the Southern Hidden Immortal said. "To be used for your cultivation needs."

Wu Yuan listened intently.

One billion Source Crystals?

If the Divine Crystal, worth ten billion Source Crystals, can only be used for cultivating mana, then this one billion Source Crystals have many other uses.

For example, cultivating the lifebond flying sword.

"The second requirement is to challenge a Star Tower. You are now forty-five years old."

"Before sixty, if you pass sixty floors of a Star Tower, I will reward you with either thirty million Dragon Crystals or one billion Source Crystals!"

"Before you turn a hundred, starting from the sixty-first floor, for each floor you pass, I will reward you with thirty million Dragon Crystals or one billion Source Crystals."

"If you can pass the seventieth floor, I will reward you with a one-time hundred billion Source Crystals," the Southern Hidden Immortal smiled.

Wu Yuan widened his eyes.

Before sixty?

Before a hundred?

Indeed, he is a master, indeed a six-times transcendent Immortal! Such a reward is much more generous than the sect's established rewards.

A hundred billion Source Crystals?

This is a wealth that could drive many Nascent Soul cultivators crazy.

You should know that before the age of a hundred, Wu Yuan, at most, would be in the Violet Mansion Realm, which is more than enough.

"Disciple." The Southern Hidden Immortal looked at Wu Yuan's dumbfounded expression and said with yellowed teeth, "Remember my words. As long as you perform well, I won't let you down."

"Master, what if the disciple reaches the eightieth floor?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

The Southern Hidden Immortal was stunned for a moment and then spat out a word.

"Get out!"

...

Watching Wu Yuan leave through the teleportation array, the Southern Hidden Immortal showed a slight smile. "This kid, not even fully grown yet, but quite ambitious. Eightieth floor?"

"Your master, back in the day, only passed sixty-seven floors."

Chapter 261: Five Years Later

Wu Yuan left Dragonstar and returned to the mansion world using the teleportation array in the Sky City.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Land Su leads many Golden Core followers, sensing something, all flew over and respectfully saluted Wu Yuan.

"True disciple."

Land Su couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you just go to Tianxingyu Soil not long ago? But according to the teleportation array information, how did you come from Dragonstar?"

As the steward of the mansion world, he had high authority and could investigate many situations.

If he had no authority at all, how could he manage the mansion world?

"I was summoned by my master," Wu Yuan smiled faintly. "So, I came back from Dragonstar. I will frequently go to Dragonstar in the future."

"Master? Dragonstar?" Land Su's eyes lit up. "True disciple, were you accepted as a disciple by an Immortal?"

Although he had anticipated it early on, getting Wu Yuan to admit it himself was still somewhat exciting.

Other Golden Core followers were equally pleased.

Over the years, it seemed like Wu Yuan hadn't cared much about them.

But as Wu Yuan's status grew higher, the various hidden benefits they received would also be greater.

Not to mention, various rewards from the sect would not be few.

"It can be considered," Wu Yuan smiled. "However, I can only be considered a named disciple."

"Named disciple?" Land Su was puzzled.

"Alright, don't ask, I'll go back to cultivation first," Wu Yuan smiled and, with a movement, directly flew into the palace.

Leaving Land Su Zhenren and the other Golden Core followers full of confusion.

"Zhenren, what's going on?" A Golden Core follower couldn't help but ask, "With the talent of the true disciple, why is he just a named disciple?"

In recent days, rumors about Wu Yuan had already spread widely.

"It really shouldn't be!"

"True disciple is a sword cultivator. Even if he hasn't been accepted as a disciple by Dongyang Ancestor, he should at least be personally accepted by other Immortals." Land Su Zhenren shook his head. "I don't know."

"Alright, everyone go back for now," Land Su Zhenren ordered.

Just a few days later.

Land Su Zhenren and the Golden Core followers in the mansion world all learned the truth one after another, and their doubts were resolved.

"Ancestor's disciple?"

"Ancestor?"

"According to legend, our Dragonstar Immortal Sect is known as the number one Immortal Sect in the Immortal Realm because our Ancestor is still alive. He must have lived for over a billion years and is definitely an Immortal."

"No wonder the true disciple said he's just a named disciple."

"A named disciple of an Immortal holds a higher status than a personal disciple of an Immortal, after all, an Immortal is an eternal existence." Land Su Zhenren and the Golden Core followers were shocked when they received the news.

Immediately, they were filled with joy.

Especially Land Su Zhenren.

You should know that Wu Yuan has no relatives, no sect, and is practically a lone wolf. Now that he has become a disciple of an Immortal, as he grows more powerful in the future, naturally, he will establish his own small faction in the sect.

Who would be the most trusted?

Land Su is definitely one of the top candidates.

...

"Ancestor's disciple?"

"Only at the Golden Core realm, being accepted as a disciple. Although only a named disciple, there is definitely hope to become the Ancestor's personal disciple when he becomes a Daoist Ancestor."

"With Lixia's talent, it's normal." Throughout the Dragonstar Immortal Sect, almost all the Immortals and Earth Immortals were aware of this.

"It's been a million years since the Ancestor last accepted disciples."

"As long as Lixia can grow and has the support of the Ancestor, she is destined to become the new leader of the sect." Even those sect Immortals who didn't pay much attention to Wuyuan before were now actively paying attention.

They understood the significance of being an Ancestor's disciple.

Moreover, Wuyuan had shown astonishing talent.

...

"The sect's Ancestor is still alive?"

"Our Dragonstar Immortal Sect has a living Immortal?" Countless disciples of the Dragonstar Immortal Sect, upon hearing this news, were completely ecstatic.

In reality, the news of the living Immortal wasn't deliberately hidden by the sect.

It's just that the status of the Immortal is extremely high, and their gaze rarely stays on Immortal Continent. Occasionally, some news might come out, but perhaps it had been tens of thousands of years or even longer, and the world had changed countless times.

The long passage of time caused various rumors to dissipate among ordinary disciples, naturally leading many weaker cultivators to doubt whether the Immortal was still alive.

And this time, because of Wuyuan, the ancient Immortal of the Dragonstar Immortal Sect revealed himself to the public eye once again.

...

"Dongyang Sword Immortal didn't accept disciples?"

"It's an Immortal who accepted disciples? A named disciple?" Zhuo Haiyue received this news and was also surprised.

"That old dragon is not ordinary." Zhuo Haiyue was well aware of the opponent's strength, definitely one of the top existences in Immortal Continent.

...

"Old Tianlong is accepting disciples?"

"Named Lixia? Just a named disciple? The talent is not bad." When it came to the existence of Immortals, this news spread at an astonishing speed.

Some top forces' intelligence departments didn't dare to conceal it and constantly transmitted the news to higher levels.

In the Red Moon Immortal Continent, which had thrived for endless years, there were quite a few born Immortals.

But there were few who had shown their power in Immortal Continent.

"Old Tianlong's luck is not bad. He opened a sect, doesn't do much, and consecutively gave birth to some formidable juniors."

"In recent millions of years, first Dongyang, and now, another Lixia? Both are sword cultivators?"

"Lixia? A little guy, just at the Golden Core realm, still too naive. Maybe he'll fall at some point." Some ancient existences communicated with each other.

"Dongyang is the truly formidable figure."

"Yeah, daring to take the Nine Tribulations Immortal Path, each one of them is an amazing talent. Dongyang wasn't too dazzling in the early stages, but the more he goes on, the more terrifying he becomes. Now, in terms of strength, he's probably not inferior to us."

"Once he succeeds in the Nine Tribulations, well, in my Red Moon Immortal Continent, a peerless Immortal will probably be born again." These ancient existences discussed Dongyang.

As for Lixia?

They only paid slight attention.

To these ancient existences who had lived for countless years, what kind of peerless genius had they not seen? Even if Wuyuan had only reached the fifty-seventh floor of the One-Star Tower.

Even if it's a peerless talent who passed the seventieth or eightieth floor of the One-Star Tower, they've seen it.

After all, even the White Mang Immortal Continent was only a small part of the Qingling Great Realm. Geniuses? The most abundant thing in the vast world was geniuses.

Only true powerhouses.

Could make them take notice.

...

Because of becoming a 'named disciple of the Immortal,' once again, there was a ripple in the sect and even the entire Immortal Continent, but Wuyuan remained indifferent.

In the mansion world, inside a quiet room.

"The news is spreading really widely. Did the sect actively make it public?" Wuyuan received a lot of messages from the Dragonstar Immortal Realm and the Red Moon Immortal Realm.

Most of them were congratulations.

For example, Zhuo Haiyue, and some sect disciples like Kuang Long.

Some of the major sects' true transmissions, who Wuyuan had met on Nan Yue Island in the past, also sent their congratulations one by one.

Even.

"Even Gu Sixing sent me congratulations? Is it obtained from Zhuo Haiyue?" Wuyuan shook his head inwardly.

He felt somewhat helpless.

Although he had no grudges with Gu Sixing, they could be considered acting in their previous encounter, but they were not familiar.

They hadn't met in reality.

"This is what it means to become famous overnight." Wuyuan sighed inwardly.

Even when he passed the 57th floor of the One-Star Tower, it didn't have such a significant impact.

You can imagine the influence and deterrence power of an Immortal.

"Unfortunately, this is just a disguise. I am not an Immortal's disciple." Wuyuan shook his head slightly. "My master is just a high Immortal."

One word difference—high Immortal and Immortal—world of difference.

"However, the fact that the Ancestor agreed should mean that he values me." Wuyuan thought secretly.

Although not a true Immortal's disciple.

But since he was a disciple of the Dragonstar Immortal Sect, this Immortal Patriarch was naturally his backing.

"Relying on a backing is just a matter of convenience. Say I'm not an Immortal's disciple. So what? The most important thing is still for me to become strong on my own." Wuyuan remained calm in his heart.

No one can be relied on; only oneself.

Taking a master is just a change in status, not strength. After isolating all external noises, Wuyuan's heart calmed down, and he continued his cultivation.

... In the Dragonstar Immortal Realm, Illusory Dragon City, inside the Dao Cang Tower.

"The 'Eternal Sword Canon' is also divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower." Wuyuan read the relevant information: "The upper part costs one million Dragon Crystals, the middle part costs ten million Dragon Crystals; the lower part costs fifty million Dragon Crystals?"

In an instant.

Wuyuan judged that this 'Eternal Sword Canon' and the 'Starry Sky Sword Canon' he cultivated should belong to the same level.

Belonging to the most top-notch swordsmanship in the sect.

Very profound.

Much more difficult than most Immortal-level sword techniques.

After a little thought.

"Exchange for the upper part." Wuyuan spoke.

Exchanging for the upper part, just one million Dragon Crystals, was still affordable.

Wuyuan had his own thoughts.

"The 'Mystic Yellow Sword Canon' must be cultivated. There shouldn't be a big problem exchanging for the upper and middle parts together. But this 'Eternal Sword Canon' is ultimately imbued with the mysteries of the wood path. How good is my talent in the wood path?" Wuyuan was also apprehensive.

Although he believed in his master's judgment, it was still better to be cautious.

If the comprehension did not go well, Wuyuan also had a plan. He would abandon it and focus on comprehending the way of the stars with both main deities.

In the end, his talent in the way of the stars was the highest.

So, for the 'Eternal Sword Canon,' Wuyuan had a skeptical attitude, just compelled by his master's orders.

"If I can cultivate it successfully, that would be the best."

"But if the cultivation fails, it's just a loss of a million Dragon Crystals, which I can bear." Wuyuan was clear in his mind.

"Confirming the exchange for the upper part of the 'Eternal Sword Canon' will deduct one million Dragon Crystals." The cold voice rang in Wuyuan's ears.

"Confirmed." Wuyuan responded.

Time passes.

Wuyuan continued to sift through the Dao Cang Tower for techniques.

"Exchange for the Soul Technique 'Sword Soul Origin Light.'" Wuyuan chose a new technique, a Soul Technique.

"The upper part of 'Sword Soul Origin Light' will deduct one million Dragon Crystals. Confirm the exchange?" The voice rang again.

"Confirmed."

... Shortly after.

In his personal palace, Wuyuan used the virtual immortal tablet to record the upper parts of both the 'Eternal Sword Canon' and 'Sword Soul Origin Light.'

Recording was just the beginning.

To truly cultivate them would mean not wasting these Dragon Crystals.

...

"It's a pity that, although Master's words sound nice, I've just started, and he didn't give me any extra Source Crystals or Dragon Crystals." Wuyuan felt somewhat helpless.

The Dragon Crystals and Source Crystals he had left were not too many.

As for that small piece of God Crystal?

Its value was very high, ten billion Source Crystals!

But Wuyuan didn't dare to sell it; it was needed for cultivating true yuan and magical power.

And with Master's requirement not to exchange it for other treasures, Wuyuan naturally didn't dare to go against it.

"Take it slow."

"At least, until I reach the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, the demand for Source Crystals won't be that much." Wuyuan thought.

The most resource-consuming treasure for a Qi Refining main deity is what?

Their flying sword!

With Wuyuan's Immortal Foundation, once he reached the ninth level of the Golden Core, he could try to transform his flying sword to the level of a third-grade spiritual weapon.

Wuyuan took the optimal path, and the various minerals and special materials he needed had an astonishing total value.

Not even billions of Source Crystals would be enough.

"Work hard in cultivation."

"After passing the 60th floor of the One-Star Tower, not only will the sect have rewards, but Master will also grant me one billion Source Crystals." Wuyuan looked forward to it.

...

Time passed.

With the small piece of God Crystal gifted by Senior Nan Yin, Wuyuan's time spent on cultivating true yuan and magical power was significantly reduced, taking only one or two days a month.

And the efficiency was amazing.

It was several times that of before.

"A normal Golden Core true Immortal, refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly, would take three to five hundred years to reach the ninth level of the Golden Core."

"Spending most of one's life cultivating magical power? How can you comprehend the Dao?"

"Within the Dragonstar Immortal Sect, the true disciples have the Gathering Spirit Array, coupled with Source Crystals; generally, it takes about a hundred years to reach the ninth level of the Golden Core." Wuyuan knew this information.

Reaching the ninth level of the Golden Core in a hundred years was considered very fast.

"With the God Crystal for cultivation? I estimate that in another ten to fifteen years, I'll be able to reach the ninth level of the Golden Core." Wuyuan calculated.

This was an astonishing speed.

Much faster than cultivating the source power with the Obsidian Crystal Immortal Soil used by the main deity.

After all, body-refining cultivators naturally cultivated more slowly.

"The last time."

"In the True Dragon Arena battle, defeating those true disciple brothers, I'm afraid people like Beihua and Gong Ling still hold a grudge." Wuyuan showed a slight smile. "They want to defeat me in the Dragonstar showdown."

The Dragonstar showdown is a real confrontation.

It is a comprehensive assessment of individual strength. Wuyuan's biggest weakness is that he has cultivated for too short a time, and his true yuan and magical power are somewhat weaker.

"There's still five years, even if I can't reach the ninth level of the Golden Core, reaching the sixth or seventh level should be no problem." Wuyuan was full of confidence.

The difference in cultivation base is only two or three levels?

The gap isn't too large.

Moreover, considering only the Immortal Foundation, Wuyuan is stronger than most true disciple brothers. By then, the gap in magical power with other Golden Core true disciples will only be smaller.

...

With the help of the God Crystal, Wuyuan saved a lot of time in cultivating magical power. He still did not slack off and used all his time to comprehend the Dao, understand the sword, and practice secret techniques.

With the "Stellar Code" as the core, supplemented by the "Mystic Yellow Sword Canon" and "Stellar Center Sword Canon," and with Senior Nan Yin's monthly guidance, Wuyuan's progress in the Dao of the Earth and the Dao of the Stars was astonishing.

But on the other hand, when Wuyuan tried to comprehend the "Eternal Sword Canon," he encountered a problem. Just the introductory part left him stuck.

"It's too difficult."

"In the Dao of Wood, even though I can't be considered clueless, the speed of comprehension is too slow." Wuyuan felt helpless.

As Master said, his body-refining main deity indeed had talent in the Dao of Wood. He could perceive the mysteries of heaven and earth, sensing a 'green' force of heaven and earth clearly.

Very clear.

Much clearer than other forces of heaven and earth, but compared to the force of heaven and earth representing the Dao of Earth, it was much blurrier.

And the "Eternal Sword Canon" was profound; even the introductory part left Wuyuan puzzled.

So, just three months later:

"Master, at this rate, it may take decades before I have a chance to enter and reach the Domain realm by comprehending the 'Eternal Sword Canon.' It will take up a lot of my time. If used to comprehend the Dao of the Stars, my progress in the Dao of the Stars will only be faster."

"Should I give up on this path?"

"Haha, decades to enter? Don't be in a hurry." Senior Nan Yin laughed, revealing a set of large yellow teeth. "As long as you can enter within a hundred years, it's not too late."

"A hundred years?" Wuyuan was stunned.

For Wuyuan, who had lived for just over forty years, a hundred years was already a very long time.

"Master, if the disciple goes all out, perhaps there is still hope to pass the 70th floor of the One-Star Tower." Wuyuan couldn't help but say. "But if I focus on comprehending the 'Eternal Sword Canon,' I'm afraid the hope will be very slim."

To be honest, Wuyuan was puzzled.

"Silly disciple, would Master harm you?" Senior Nan Yin shook his head with a smile. "Although I set a goal for you to reach a certain level in the One-Star Tower, it's just to urge you to cultivate, not a requirement to reach a certain floor."

"Is it important to pass how many floors?" Senior Nan Yin smiled. "Yes, passing seventy or even eighty floors does indeed prove one's extraordinary talent."

"But the One-Star Tower is only open to beings under a hundred years old."

"The immortal path is long, and time is still ample; don't be too anxious."

"Some geniuses, born with high talents and high perception, have a great background. So, their progress is extremely rapid at the beginning, but their foundation is insufficient later on." Senior Nan Yin said, "But some strong cultivators start inconspicuously, steadily and securely. They don't vie for short-term gains and losses, progress faster as they cultivate further, and eventually reveal an extraordinary edge."

"Which type do you want to be?" Senior Nan Yin smiled at Wuyuan.

"Disciple naturally wants to be the second type." Wuyuan replied solemnly.

Cultivation is a long-distance race. Starting quickly doesn't mean being the first to reach the finish line. Many pioneers might fall halfway.

"Master asked you to comprehend the 'Eternal Sword Canon,' there is naturally a reason. What you need to do is to go all out in comprehension." Senior Nan Yin said, "Body-refining main deity, comprehend the Dao of the Stars, Qi-refining main deity comprehends the 'Eternal Sword Canon.'"

"If this path really proves impassable, when the time is right, Master will naturally speak up."

"Come."

"Successively display the sword arts from the three great sword techniques towards Master, let's see how much progress you've made in the past month." Senior Nan Yin said.

"Yes." Wuyuan nodded.

Swiftly.

He began to display the sword arts from the "Mystic Yellow Sword Canon," "Stellar Center Sword Canon," and "Eternal Sword Canon" successively, attacking Senior Nan Yin.

The Mystic Yellow Sword Array opened and closed, its edge endless.

The Stellar Center Sword Array, resembling stars, converges the origin into one, ingeniously simple yet profound.

The Eternal Sword Array, or rather, it's challenging to call it a sword array; Wuyuan couldn't activate it to form a realm. It's merely a highly exquisite sword technique.

Senior Nan Yin took over one by one, providing guidance each time.

Until now, Wuyuan suddenly realized that his Master not only had a profound comprehension in the Dao of the Stars but could also easily give guidance in the Dao of Wood, identifying his flaws.

"Go."

"Comprehend diligently, don't slack off," Senior Nan Yin instructed.

...

Quickly returning to his own residence, although Wuyuan didn't understand why his Master insisted on him comprehending the "Eternal Sword Canon."

But Wuyuan had one virtue—he listened!

Difficult to get started?

"Anyway, it will take time to comprehend, so I might as well go all out. One hundred years? I'll listen to Master." Wuyuan overcame his inner reluctance, suppressing various distracting thoughts.

Diverting his focus, he fully comprehended the "Eternal Sword Canon."

Progress was slow, but still, step by step, Wuyuan continuously broke through difficulties, advancing towards the real realm.

... Amid comprehending the sword and the Dao.

Wuyuan also allocated some energy to cultivate the "Sword Soul Origin Light," a powerful and mysterious soul technique.

"My divine soul is formidable, theoretically, I should be able to cultivate some soul techniques."

"However, in the immortal path, especially in combat methods, one should choose the area where they are strong and continually become stronger." Wuyuan thought.

Among cultivators, few were all-rounders.

Being adept at one thing and eating one's fill was the norm.

But this did not include defensive measures.

"I have nine lifebound flying swords. Whether it's offense or defense, I have more than enough. Except for soul defense." Wuyuan pondered, "In the past, those I fought against were only Golden Core cultivators."

"But in the future, my enemies will be those in the Violet Mansion realm, Mountain and River realms, and even higher realms."

Powerful cultivators possessed various methods, and soul techniques were a significant category, with many super experts excelling in soul attacks.

"I may not excel in soul attacks."

"But I must excel in soul defense, making it difficult for others to easily disturb my soul." This was Wuyuan's decision.

It also received the support of Master Nan Yin.

The final choice was the "Sword Soul Origin Light," a soul technique divided into One Origin Realm, Two Origin Realms... all the way to Nine Origin Realms!

"If I can cultivate to the Ninth Origin Realm, forming nine sword-shaped soul lights, even the divine soul attacks of Celestials can be directly withstood." Wuyuan contemplated this technique.

Deeply impressed by this technique.

The "Sword Soul Origin Light" was powerful, but the difficulty of cultivation was extremely high. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators simply couldn't get started.

Fortunately, Wuyuan was a sword cultivator with an extremely strong divine soul.

"Such a powerful technique, difficult to cultivate, must take it slow." Wuyuan was in no hurry.

As he knew, many powerful immortals often spent thousands or even tens of thousands of years just to cultivate an immortal secret technique.

Time flows like water.

In the practice, without the passing of months and years, in the blink of an eye, more than five years have passed since Wuyuan entered the Dragon Star Immortal Sect.

It has been thirteen years.

...

In the Xia Mountain world, deep within the New State, that vast and expansive land with towering alert towers of a thousand meters remained.

A figure in white robes sat quietly at the top of the tower.

"Young Master, the continued significance of vigilance is no longer significant." A middle-aged man in a white robe stood by the side.

It was Fang Xia.

"The Spiritual Tide has completely erupted." Fang Xia said in a low voice, "Not just the New State, the entire Four Seas region of the Central Continent, the former No-Spirit Domain has completely disappeared."

"Yeah!"

"Who would have thought that the Spiritual Tide would last for eight years, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would become more abundant. The originally isolated No-Spirit Domain that separated the Central Continent and other regions of the Xia Mountain world has completely disappeared under this unprecedented Spiritual Tide." Wuyuan stood up, shaking his head in helplessness.

Continuing to stay vigilant in the New State had little meaning.

"Have the vigilance formations in the Central Continent been set up?" Wuyuan asked.

"Yes." Fang Xia nodded, quite excitedly. "Young Master, with some profound formation diagrams you gave me, I was able to set up the formations much more easily. Vigilance formations spread across the entire Central Continent have been completely deployed."

"That's good."

"Let's go back to the Central Continent first."

"The Spiritual Tide has completely erupted, the No-Spirit Domain has disappeared, and it's impossible for other regions of the Xia Mountain world not to notice. Whether it's a blessing or a disaster, it's still unknown." Wuyuan said, "My Qi Cultivation Avatar is currently trying to find a solution at the Red Moon Immortal Island, don't worry."

Fang Xia nodded.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two quickly left the New State and headed towards the Central Continent.

"The Dragon Star Duel is also coming soon." Wuyuan's Qi Cultivation Avatar flew rapidly in the high sky.

Chapter 262 Paying Respects to His Majesty (Seeking Votes)

Thirteen years passed, and for Wuyuan, who had been dedicated to cultivation, it was like a fleeting moment, and the changes were not significant.

But for the Central Continent, there were earth-shattering changes.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Wuyuan and Fang Xia were extremely fast, and soon they returned to the Central Continent from the New State.

A bustling port city appeared in their sight.

At the same time, there were numerous large ships coming and going, and a few large but slow-moving transport flying vessels.

"Haven't been back for a year, these mundane flying vessels seem to be more commonly used." Wuyuan scanned the area.

His divine sense spread out mightily.

With Wuyuan's strong divine sense, he could now explore an area of four hundred miles with a single thought, easily obtaining a large amount of information.

"Yes."

Fang Xia smiled, "Young Master, now it's the 28th year of the Immortal Wu. People all over the world say that the progress of Wu Country in the past 28 years is equivalent to the progress of the past 2,800 years. Everything comes from you, Young Master."

"Various types of mundane flying vessels that have now become established are widely used across the entire continent. The number of these vessels has reached thousands, used extensively for transporting goods and even people."

"All of this is due to the vast amount of refining information you sent." Fang Xia sincerely said.

Wuyuan couldn't help but smile.

That's right.

In the Red Moon Immortal Island, the lives of countless mortals were extremely comfortable. Various flying vessels, puppets, and more were used on a large scale, greatly liberating the productivity of mortals.

Similar refining techniques, in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, were not considered secrets at all and were freely spread throughout the entire immortal island.

As a true disciple, Wuyuan had extremely high authority. With a little effort, he could collect a large amount and then quickly spread it through his Qi Cultivation Avatar in the Central Continent.

Similarly, there were martial arts, alchemy, talismans, formations, and more.

Even cultivation techniques such as swordsmanship, knife techniques, and combined formation techniques.

Countless inconspicuous secret techniques in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect were all transported by Wuyuan to the Central Continent.

These secret techniques, in the Central Continent, could be regarded as immortal secret arts.

Guided by Wuyuan, instructed by numerous Qi Cultivators, the entire civilization of the Central Continent was rapidly advancing towards true 'immortal civilization.'

"I have contributed, but more is due to the changes in this world." Wuyuan said softly, "Especially in these eight years, with the eruption of the Spiritual Tide, the spiritual energy of the entire continent has become several times more abundant. It's almost catching up to one-tenth of the Red Moon Immortal Island, allowing countless flying vessels and puppets to be utilized."

"Yeah, the Spiritual Tide has both advantages and disadvantages." Fang Xia nodded.

In immortal civilization, the most important thing is energy.

Whether it's gathering spirit formations or forming source stone veins and spiritual veins, it requires the spiritual energy of the entire world to become abundant.

Without the eruption of the Spiritual Tide, even with the methods Wuyuan brought, the development of the Central Continent would not have been so rapid.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two quickly headed from Dongzhou to Jiangzhou. Along the way, they could see prosperous scenes of cities, beautiful mountains and rivers, and vast rivers.

"There are also many more warriors now." Wuyuan suddenly said.

"Of course, since the establishment of Wu Country, the spread of various techniques, coupled with the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the number of warriors has surged." Fang Xia smiled, "Now, among the new generation of young people, according to our estimation, the probability of reaching the third-rate warrior level is close to one in ten?"

One in ten? Wuyuan nodded slightly.

On the Red Moon Immortal Island, ordinary mortals, as long as they diligently cultivated, became second-rate warriors or even first-rate warriors, which was very easy.

It all stemmed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nurturing the body, making the overall bloodline more powerful.

Moving forward.

In the end, an extremely large city appeared in the sight of the two, and even a floating palace was suspended in the sky above the city.

As far as the eyes could see, the city spread across hundreds of miles, likely housing tens of millions of people!

It was the capital of Wu Country and the largest city in the Central Continent—Cloud Capital.

After thirty years of development, the scale of Cloud Capital was now nearly ten times that of Cloud Mountain City in the past, except that the vast Yun River still flowed to the east.

The rest was hard to find traces of the past.

And next to Cloud Capital, the surrounding cloud-covered mountains were now full of buildings and palaces, shrouded in mist, presenting a celestial appearance.

Around them, many more peaks had emerged, all surrounding the largest peak—Heavenly Shaman Mountain!

"It's truly prosperous." Wuyuan smiled slightly, quite satisfied.

The Qi Cultivation Avatar in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect has achieved some accomplishments.

However, Wuyuan's connection to the Central Continent is much deeper.

"Young Master, this is your kingdom," Fang Xia slightly bowed, smiling, "Throughout the Central Continent, now with billions of living beings, basically everyone has heard of Young Master's name, admiring and worshiping Young Master immensely."

"Only waiting for Young Master to break through, I believe, you can sense the devotion and incense." Fang Xia said solemnly.

Wuyuan nodded slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Devotion and incense?

This is a resource even the Taiyuan Divine Court values, with extraordinary effects.

"Unfortunately, the Qi Cultivation Avatar has just reached the seventh stage of the Golden Core." Wuyuan sighed inwardly, "To step into the Violet Mansion Realm, it might take some time."

From the ninth stage of the Golden Core to the Violet Mansion Realm is a transformative leap in the level of life.

Even with a high level of Dao comprehension, it often requires a period of accumulation and stagnation.

"Old Fang, I'm going to see my mother."

"Pass the order to all members of the Central Guard, convene a meeting in the Central Continent in an hour." Wuyuan said.

"Yes." Fang Xia nodded.

In these decades, although Wuyuan has not made a move, as the person closest to Wuyuan in the Central Continent and the second strongest after Wuyuan, Fang Xia could perceive Wuyuan's transformation.

If it was twenty-eight years ago, he only felt that Wuyuan was powerful.

But now.

Wuyuan gives him the feeling that he is no less than the Sect Master, and the two are completely in different realms.

Therefore, Fang Xia doesn't dare to act arrogantly.

Swoosh!

Wuyuan flew towards the 'Imperial City' of Cloud Capital.

Although it's called the Imperial City, it's actually empty. After all, Wuyuan has no offspring, coupled with his long-term closed-door cultivation.

The entire Imperial City is actually controlled by the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess.

Having not seen his mother for nearly a year, Wuyuan naturally felt concerned.

"Mother is over sixty years old. Although she has been nourished by many treasures and her body is almost at the level of a Grandmaster, her body is still much weaker." Wuyuan sighed inwardly.

"In the Central Continent, treasures are limited."

"Even if in the future, more treasures can be obtained, the use of treasures has many conditions. The day when my Qi Cultivation Avatar becomes stronger, it will leave the Xia Mountain World. This companionship will come to an end."

Wuyuan can only do his best to let his loved ones live longer.

"Perhaps the Dao is ruthless, but I act only for the sake of having no regrets."

...

"Central Continent Meeting?"

"His Majesty is personally presiding?"

"Quick, immediately enter the Central Continent Immortal Palace. His Majesty has not presided over the Central Continent Meeting for several years. It must be a major event." A large amount of information spread rapidly from Cloud Capital to various regions of the Central Continent.

Many cultivators received the news.

...

An hour later, while accompanying his mother Wan Qin for a meal, Wuyuan entered the Central Continent Immortal Palace with his thoughts.

When he first encountered the Central Continent Immortal Palace, Wuyuan was amazed.

With the passage of time, now returning to the Central Continent Immortal Palace.

Wuyuan could naturally perceive the simplicity and deficiencies of this illusory realm constructed around the 'Violet Mansion' of a Purple Mansion cultivator.

"Indeed, a divine realm constructed only around the 'Violet Mansion' of a Purple Mansion cultivator is quite rudimentary." Wuyuan thought, "In the future, when the Qi Cultivation Avatar reaches the Violet Mansion Realm, it will need to be reconstructed."

The divine realm, although magical, has its limitations.

But fundamentally, it is the core method of the Qi Cultivators. Starting from the Violet Mansion Realm, they can gradually attempt to construct the Illusory Realm.

Realms like the Dragon Star Immortal Realm and the Red Moon Immortal Realm, so miraculous, in Wuyuan's combined deduction from various pieces of information, are probably constructed by celestial beings as the source.

Inside the Central Continent Immortal Palace, the meeting hall.

Nearly two hundred figures had gathered, each with extraordinary aura. They were all top experts on the Central Continent, and most of them were born in the last twenty years.

Sorted by strength, the further back, the weaker the strength.

Everyone waited in silence.

Whoosh~ Countless light points gathered, and a figure in white robes appeared out of thin air on the high throne.

His expression was rather indifferent. Although he was in the Illusory Realm, the aura of his divine soul couldn't be concealed.

Most terrifying were his eyes. With a sweep, it made some cultivators' hearts tremble.

"Your Majesty!"

"Back then, Your Majesty, at the age of over twenty, was able to kill the Jin Emperor in the Golden Core Realm. Now, after nearly thirty years, how strong is Your Majesty?" These cultivators were extremely excited.

Suddenly.

"Pay respects to Your Majesty!" Led by Fang Xia, Jibei Wang, Haifei Zhang, Shan Mo, and four other elders, they all said in unison.

"Pay respects to Your Majesty." Hundreds of cultivators simultaneously paid respectful salutes.

After decades of accumulated prestige, there was no opposition in the entire Central Continent anymore. Even Jibei Wang, Haifei Zhang, and others now behaved extremely submissive.

"Sit down, everyone." Wuyuan's gaze swept over the nearly two hundred figures below. His voice was indifferent, but it sounded extremely majestic to most cultivators.

Everyone sat down.

"Fang Xia, it's your turn." Wuyuan calmly said.

Swoosh!

Fang Xia stood up, came to Wuyuan's side, first saluted Wuyuan, and then spoke, "Today's meeting is about the matter of the Spirit Tide."

Whoosh~

Fang Xia waved his hand, and a huge light curtain appeared, capturing the attention of everyone.

It was a map!

The map of the Central Continent and the surrounding seas.

"For thousands of years, our Central Continent has been isolated, surrounded by areas without spiritual energy, making it difficult to cross." Fang Xia said solemnly, "But in the past eight years, with the eruption of the Spirit Tide, the regions without spiritual energy at the ends of the four seas have completely disappeared."

"Previously, the passage that foreign cultivators used during several Immortal Descents has also been completely opened."

"Therefore, according to His Majesty's speculation, we may already be completely adjacent to other regions of the Xia Mountain World." Fang Xia said, "The Spirit Tide still shows no signs of disappearing. There is a high probability that foreign cultivators will come."

Jibei Wang, Haifei Zhang, Shan Mo, and other cultivators listened quietly.

This Spirit Tide has lasted for eight years, causing a great change in the world.

As cultivators eligible to participate in the Central Continent Meeting, they naturally understand the relevant situation.

"As per His Majesty's orders."

"First, we need to establish a vigilance line covering the entire continent and even the four seas."

"So, many cultivators need to be stationed everywhere to preside over formations." Fang Xia said, "In case of any changes or encountering foreign cultivators, try not to provoke conflicts. Make sure to report through the Immortal Palace communication first to avoid the oversights that occurred during the Insect Demon incident."

"Secondly, we need to organize several teams to actively explore along the four seas and Xin Province, investigating the situation in other regions of the Xia Mountain World."

"Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to take the initiative."

"Is there anyone willing to lead the troops voluntarily?" Fang Xia's voice was low, his gaze scanning over the cultivators. Everyone had different thoughts.

Exploration?

Perhaps there is danger, but there is also the possibility of obtaining opportunities.

...

This meeting that concerns the fate of the Central Continent lasted for nearly an hour.

In the end, with some volunteers and some selected, a total of twenty cultivators were divided into five teams and actively explored beyond the Central Continent.

...

Time passed.

Just three days later, the selected teams, carrying a large number of life-saving treasures, left the Central Continent one after another.

"Young Master, don't worry too much. My Central Continent can give birth to such a peerless genius like you, but the other regions of the Xia Mountain World may not be the same," Fang Xia said with a smile, showing confidence.

At the peak of the Xia Mountain World back then, it was only at the Violet Mansion Realm.

What about now?

"Hmm." Wuyuan nodded gently. With his growing strength, he was naturally full of confidence.

In fact, he had explored Central Continent and the surrounding seas.

Further regions?

Beyond the sensing range of the Central Continent Immortal Palace, so, for the sake of the overall situation, Wuyuan did not continue to explore.

Suddenly.

"Hmm? Master is looking for me?" Wuyuan was surprised at first, then a hint of joy flashed across his face. "Is it related to information about the Xia Mountain World?"

"For several years, has Master finally found some information?"

Chapter 263 Eternal Sun Immortal Realm

For the past five years, Wuyuan has been single-mindedly cultivating. Although a portion of his consciousness is dedicated to Central Continent affairs, 99.9% of his energy is still focused on cultivation.

He has been waiting for the news from his master.

Unfortunately, when he was accepted as a disciple, Senior South Yin mentioned that it would take some time, and it indeed took a full five years before Wuyuan received any message.

During this time, Wuyuan didn't dare to inquire too much.

In the Dragon Star Immortal Realm, in Tianlong City, a massive mansion covered an area of hundreds of miles. The scenery was exceptionally beautiful, even more so than in reality.

Because in reality, there are four seasons, but in the divine realm, it is perpetually splendid like spring.

Swoosh!

Wuyuan, dressed in a black robe, appeared in the center of the mansion out of thin air. He scanned the surroundings and muttered to himself, "Is this the mansion of my master in Tianlong City?"

This was Wuyuan's first time visiting Tianlong City. As a disciple of Senior South Yin, he had the privilege to arrive in Tianlong City, but only to his master's mansion.

"Disciple, come over." A gentle voice came from a large palace in the distance.

Swoosh!

Wuyuan moved and flew into the palace. The palace had a rugged style, extremely simple in decoration, or one could say, almost no decoration.

"It's exactly the same as Master's mansion in Dragon Star." Wuyuan thought to himself, "Has Master been living like this for the past several hundred thousand years?"

"Very simple."

"Not even a bit of luxury."

"A true ascetic cultivator. No wonder Master became a Six-Tribulation Immortal."

In these five years, with the authority of a "Named Disciple of the Immortal," Wuyuan's perspective has become broader. He was well aware of the power of a Six-Tribulation Immortal.

Among Immortals, one in a hundred could overcome six Immortal Tribulations. Some fell during adventurous expeditions, but most Immortals perished under the terrifying Tribulations.

Immortal Tribulations were difficult to overcome, step by step reaching higher realms.

Of course, compared to the Eight-Tribulation Immortal, Dong Yang, Master was indeed somewhat weaker.

"Master." Wuyuan respectfully saluted.

"Here, take a seat." Senior South Yin, in the Divine Realm, still had a dirty appearance, with big yellow teeth prominently displayed as he smiled.

Wuyuan sat down.

In terms of spiritual pressure, Wuyuan was weaker than Senior South Yin. However, sitting there, he felt as unmovable as a mountain.

Compared to five years ago, Wuyuan's aura has become more restrained and profound.

This was a reflection of his increasingly profound understanding of the Dao of Stars, subtly aligning with his temperament and character.

Being wild when it's time to be wild.

But for the most part, being low-key and cautious.

"Líxià, this is your first time at your master's Tianlong City mansion, right?" Senior South Yin grinned.

He had never taken a disciple before.

Wuyuan satisfied him not only in terms of talent but also in terms of character.

Like a sharp divine sword, wrapped in its scabbard, it was stable underneath while maintaining its sharpness.

"Yes." Wuyuan nodded.

"How does it feel?"

"Grand! Very grand." Wuyuan expressed without reservation.

Different from five years ago.

In the past five years, Wuyuan often met with his master. Senior South Yin treated him extremely well, providing comprehensive guidance. Truly like a master and father figure, their master-disciple relationship was excellent. Therefore, now in front of his master, Wuyuan felt at ease.

"Haha." Senior South Yin laughed, not minding, "First, tell me about the general situation of your body refining avatar in the past five years."

"Yes." Wuyuan nodded and quickly began, "Since the outbreak of the spiritual tide eight years ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become more abundant... The no-spirit zones that isolated Central Continent have completely disappeared. I estimate that the channels connecting to other regions of the Xia Mountain World are open now."

"However, I didn't dare to act recklessly."

"I only dispatched some Qi Sea Realm cultivators to explore in all directions, striving to obtain some information." Wuyuan quickly reported.

"Hmm, not acting recklessly is a good thing." Senior South Yin nodded, "Next, I'll tell you something. Don't worry, listen carefully."

Wuyuan's heart suddenly tightened.

Is something wrong?

"In these five years, I expended many means. I obtained a large amount of information about the Red Moon Immortal Palace from ten thousand years ago, especially concerning numerous small worlds in the Red Moon Immortal Isle." Senior South Yin said, "Tens of thousands of worlds."

Wuyuan was secretly amazed. It sounded simple, but it was probably not that easy. Information about these small worlds was the foundation of many major forces; they wouldn't easily disclose it.

"But I found nothing suitable."

Senior South Yin continued, "Finally, I contacted a friend in the 'Eternal Sun Immortal Realm,' a realm far away. Only then did I manage to query some information about the 'Xia Mountain World' from the immortal realm's database."

"Eternal Sun Immortal Realm?" Wuyuan was surprised. "Master has friends in the immortal realm?"

"Why, look down on your old master?" Senior South Yin glared, "I, your master, have lived for tens of thousands of years. Although I haven't ventured beyond the great realm, I've roamed many immortal realms and even some ruins realms while concealing my identity. Naturally, I've made quite a few friends."

"Yes, yes, Master is impressive." Wuyuan smiled and apologized.

But he was still shocked.

Eternal Sun Immortal Realm!

After becoming a disciple of Senior South Yin, Wuyuan's privileges increased. Intentionally or unintentionally, he also found some information about the great realm.

The Red Moon Immortal Isle was an integral plane, but only a part of the Bai Cang Immortal Country.

The Immortal Country was vast, containing numerous spatial and temporal dimensions, countless powerhouses, and countless beings born in endless years.

But the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm!

It was one of the cores of the entire Qingling Great Realm. Even the powerful Bai Cang Immortal Country was just one of the many immortal countries ruled by the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm.

"Master, you can reach the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm with your hand?" Wuyuan was secretly amazed, but also puzzled.

Does a small world like Xia Mountain World need to be connected so far?

"Normally, the rise and fall of a small world have little to do with the immortal realm." Senior South Yin shook his head, "After all, the vastness of the immortal realm is so great, with probably billions of worlds. Every day, worlds are born, and worlds perish."

"Your master had no choice. Even with some channels from the Bai Cang Immortal Country, I couldn't find any trace of the Xia Mountain World."

"But."

"With the help of a friend in the immortal realm, fortunately, I found out."

"The Xia Mountain World does indeed belong to a region controlled by the 'Blood Refining Demon Palace,' a blood-refining world controlled by it eighty thousand years ago."

"Controlled by the Blood Refining Demon Palace? One of the three major forces in the Immortal Isle?" Wuyuan's face slightly changed.

He understood; no wonder his master told him not to be nervous.

Blood Refining Demon Palace!

The most formidable force in the entire Immortal Isle, and Xia Mountain World is controlled by such a force? How could he not worry?

"Wrong."

"The Blood Refining Demon Palace is indeed one of the top three forces in the Immortal Isle, but more accurately, the Blood Refining Demon Palace on the Immortal Isle is only a 'Red Moon Immortal Isle branch.'" Senior South Yin said solemnly, "The true Blood Refining Demon Palace is a behemoth comparable to the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm."

Wuyuan's face changed.

So powerful?

How vast is the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm? Controlling countless worlds, spatial and temporal dimensions, and birthing countless powerhouses.

The Blood Refining Demon Palace is so strong? Can it rival the entire Immortal Isle?

"You should know that we are all members under the jurisdiction of the Taiyuan Divine Court." Senior South Yin said.

Wuyuan nodded slightly. This point could be inferred from the countless mortal beliefs in the Red Moon Immortal Isle.

"The Divine Court has inherited through endless years and is a huge force in the endless river of time and space. Both the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm and the Blood Refining Demon Palace are only parts of the Divine Court, and these two are equal." Senior South Yin said, "It's just that the two forces have different paths."

"The entire Eternal Sun Immortal Realm, and the Red Moon Immortal Palace, are generally following the concept of 'Everyone as a Dragon.' This includes improving the lives of mortals, widely popularizing the virtual god realm, spreading techniques on a large scale, and numerous sects recruiting disciples, and so on." Senior South Yin said.

Wuyuan nodded lightly.

In short, "Everyone as a Dragon" means ensuring the basic living supplies of most intelligent beings while widely casting a net to ensure the ascension path for most people.

"The Blood Refining Demon Palace is different. This force practices the 'Asura Demon Path,' which is the most ruthless." Senior South Yin solemnly said.

"Most of the powerhouses in this line are bloodthirsty and crazy."

"They kill for the Dao."

"Like demons in hell, they engage in endless slaughter among countless beings, igniting the most primitive life evolution power." Senior South Yin sighed, "Any powerhouse who follows the Asura Demon Path rises on the bones of countless strong individuals."

Wuyuan's mind was in chaos.

Everyone as a Dragon is the gentlest; the Asura Demon Path is the most radical. And the primitive school that Witch supports is considered moderate.

"Disciple, for now, your master has no solution."

"If your world is controlled by a certain sect, or even a small world controlled by the Red Moon Immortal Palace, your master can find a solution." Senior South Yin shook his head, "At least, there's no problem with getting your body refining avatar out."

Wuyuan listened silently.

"However, the Blood Refining Demon Palace has its own system. Their powerhouses rarely appear in the Immortal Isle. Unless they venture into other realms or timelines, the two sides rarely encounter each other."

"And the Blood Refining Demon Palace-controlled Blood Refining World does not allow outsiders to intervene." Senior South Yin helplessly said, "Even information about the Xia Mountain World, your master could only find in the immortal realm."

"In the Red Moon Immortal Palace, there is no record. Therefore, we cannot determine the specific location of the Xia Mountain World."

"Perhaps, a Celestial could accomplish it at a great cost!"

"However, your master cannot do it."

"Although the Celestial is a god, he often travels through many timelines and dimensions, and it is impossible to pay such a huge price for your body refining avatar and your people." Senior South Yin sighed.

Wuyuan understood.

This matter involves the Blood Refining Demon Palace, and wanting to get someone from the Blood Refining Demon Palace? Difficult!

As difficult as reaching the sky!

At least, his master, a six calamities upper celestial, couldn't achieve it.

Key.

Even the specific spatiotemporal coordinates of the Xia Mountain World cannot be found.

"You could come to the Great Realm, probably by utilizing that powerful teleportation array, exploiting a gap in the Blood Refining Demon Palace," Senior South Yin said, "But what kind of force is the Blood Refining Demon Palace? You can't make the same mistake twice."

"So."

"When you tried to teleport again, you failed." Senior South Yin shook his head, "There's a high probability that the entire world has been sealed off."

Wuyuan thoroughly understood.

In a short period.

The two avatars of the main body can't reunite.

"Master, what should I do with my body refining avatar?" Wuyuan couldn't help but ask.

Because.

This not only involves the body refining avatar but also the safety of the entire Central Continent, where his family and many friends live.

Therefore, the first person Wuyuan thought of was his master.

If the other party could obtain information about the Xia Mountain World, there might be suitable advice.

"The situation is not good, but it has not reached the point of no return." Senior South Yin said, "First, you need to understand that although the Blood Refining Demon Palace follows the Asura Demon Path, it does not mean that it is as chaotic and bloody as the demon race."

"Even if it's madly demonic, it is still a human force, and it is still subordinate to the Taiyuan Divine Court."

"Demon Path and demon are two different concepts." Senior South Yin said.

Wuyuan nodded involuntarily, feeling a bit relieved.

Right!

Perhaps the order of the Blood Refining Demon Palace is very bloody and cruel, but after all, it is mainly composed of human powerhouses. Even if the order is chaotic, it is still better than no order.

"Secondly, for thousands of years, there has been no trace of the Blood Refining Demon Palace in the Xia Mountain World." Senior South Yin said, "So, according to my estimation, the entire Xia Mountain World has not yet been truly valued by the Blood Refining Demon Palace."

"Like the so-called 'No Spiritual Domain' before, it is likely that the Xia Mountain World's origin, to restore itself and conform to the rules of the world's operation, has formed special rules."

"No Spiritual Domain, ordinary virtual refining feather warriors, wouldn't find it difficult to set up." Senior South Yin said, "And these are your opportunities."

Wuyuan listened attentively.

"What you need to do is seize the time to quickly understand the current situation of the Xia Mountain World." Senior South Yin said, "Then, make the choice that is most beneficial to yourself."

"Strength is still crucial."

"The Blood Refining Demon Palace's Blood Refining World mainly focuses on cultivating powerhouses."

"As long as your strength is strong enough and you don't resist the Blood Refining Demon Palace, then, the Blood Refining Demon Palace has no reason to reject you as a genius. You have a complete chance to preserve your clan." Senior South Yin said, "The Blood Refining Demon Palace is extremely powerful. If you can really join it, you also have the chance to enhance your strength."

Wuyuan understood.

Understand the situation, don't resist the Blood Refining Demon Palace too easily.

Instead, assess the situation.

If there is a real opportunity, joining the Blood Refining Demon Palace may not be impossible.

"Master, if I join the Blood Refining Demon Palace, will it expose my identity? Will it affect the sect?" Wuyuan couldn't help but ask.

"First, the intersection of the two major forces is very small," Senior South Yin laughed, "Second, if you cultivate two avatars when you are in the Violet Mansion Realm and the Mountain and River Realm, then, the two avatars are easily recognizable."

"But you cultivated two avatars when you were in the Spiritual Body Realm."

"With the passage of time, the differences between the two avatars will become greater."

"Especially when you refine the void with feathers and your body becomes holy, and then practice some secret techniques, when the two avatars stand together, even the master may not be able to distinguish them." Senior South Yin smiled, "In the endless time and space, the different avatars of many powerful beings belong to different forces, and have not been exposed for countless years."

Wuyuan listened in shock.

Splitting into two avatars would be so magical?

"I have never exposed the matter of your refining body avatar in the sect, even the head teacher is unaware, and you shouldn't reveal it either." Senior South Yin said, "Similarly, on the side of your refining body avatar, try not to reveal the matter of the Qi refining avatar."

Wuyuan nodded slightly.

Regarding the matter of the two avatars, besides the master, only Qiong Hai, Fang Xia, the Realm Lord, and others knew about it. It was not difficult to hide the information.

After all, as long as you don't deliberately mention it.

How many people can think that different avatars can be cultivated at the Spiritual Body Realm?

"Of course, if it is unavoidable, even if it is exposed, it may not be a bad thing." Senior South Yin shook his head, "It can only prove that you are very talented."

"In the final analysis."

"The Eternal Sun Immortal Realm and the Blood Refining Demon Palace are both members of the Taiyuan Divine Court." Senior South Yin said, "The leaders of the two major forces are also not hostile."

Wuyuan nodded gently.

That's right, although major sects and forces are in constant conflict and competition, countless cultivators are fighting for treasures and interests.

But if you broaden your horizons enough, everyone is a member of the Taiyuan Divine Court.

The premise is that you can grow to such a high level.

"Thanks for the master's guidance." Wuyuan said gratefully.

"No need for thanks, I feel quite guilty in my heart." Senior South Yin shook his head, "I haven't really helped you."

"What the master has done is already enough." Wuyuan said seriously.

Wuyuan did not dare to expect that the master would go against the enormous Blood Refining Demon Palace for his refining body avatar.

This is not a good strategy.

Even if it's just a branch of the Blood Refining Demon Palace in an immortal realm, there is probably a Heavenly Immortal sitting there.

Not something the master can contend with.

Immortals and Heavenly Immortals are worlds apart.

"This can also be considered as a tempering for you. If you can overcome the difficulties, it will be more beneficial for your growth." Senior South Yin said.

Wuyuan nodded slightly.

Disasters are not good things.

However, if disaster is destined to come, then we should try our best to develop it in a better direction.

"Another thing is the Dragon Star Duel." Senior South Yin said, "There is less than a month according to the rules."

"According to the rules."

"In the Dragon Star Duel, the Golden Pill True Transmission will ultimately only keep thirty-two people, and the rest will all be demoted to inner disciples." Senior South Yin said.

Wuyuan nodded slightly.

The Dragon Star Duel is very cruel, which is also the consistent tenet of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect. Do you have the ability? Do you have a background? Do you have elders to guide you? Do you have many treasures?

All are fine!

But the final result determines the high and low.

Perhaps it is unfair, after all, the age, experience, and environment of each Golden Pill True Transmission disciple are different since childhood, but it is absolutely fair.

The capable go up, and the weak go down.

"For the past thirty years, there have been six direct-promotion True Transmission Golden Pill disciples. As a guarantee, this time, you six will be directly promoted to the top thirty-two." Senior South Yin said, "So, regardless of victory or defeat, you don't have to worry about being demoted to inner disciples."

"As for those veteran True Transmission disciples, they have to fight and compete with the most outstanding hundreds of thousands of inner disciples."

"In the end, the strongest twenty-six can be promoted to the top thirty-two." Senior South Yin said, "So, the strength of other True Transmission Golden Pill disciples will not be weak."

Wuyuan listened.

He roughly understood these rules.

"Other newly promoted True Transmission disciples, like Kuang Long, who entered the sect at the same time as you, probably just hope not to lose too badly." Senior South Yin said, "But this is not what you should consider. What you need to do is take first place."

"I understand, Master." Wuyuan nodded.

First place?

"I must win!"

"But don't be careless." Senior South Yin shook his head. "You are only at the seventh stage of the Golden Pill, and there is still a gap in cultivation compared to other Golden Pill True Transmissions."

"But I am a third-grade Immortal Foundation." Wuyuan couldn't help but say.

"Among the dozens of Golden Pill True Transmissions, there are also some third-grade Immortal Foundations." Senior South Yin said. "Although third-grade Immortal Foundations are rare, there are still some in the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the sect, in each generation."

Wuyuan was speechless.

Indeed!

Third-grade Immortal Foundation is extremely rare, with one in a million.

However, the Golden Pill cultivators who are qualified to join the Dragon Star Immortal Sect are already outstanding. Those selected from these hundreds of thousands of disciples? Naturally, there are some talented individuals.

"Strong Immortal Foundation does not mean extremely high comprehension."

Senior South Yin said, "Among the many Golden Pill True Transmissions in the sect, the three you really need to be wary of are."

"These three, at least, have all passed fifty levels of the Star Tower. The insight into the Tao will not be much weaker than yours, and as third-grade Immortal Foundations, not only do they have an absolute advantage in magical power, but their life-bound magic weapons will also be at a higher level."

"Especially that little guy named 'Xing Luo', who just passed fifty-four levels of the Star Tower, is also quite outstanding." Senior South Yin said.

Wuyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fifty-four levels?

Only two years, and he has advanced two levels. His talent is indeed quite good.

If Wuyuan didn't feel much pressure before, he now feels a hint of it.

Of course, it's just a hint.

"The Dragon Star Duel is just a small test for you." Senior South Yin seemed to feel Wuyuan's indifference and said with a smile, "Ten years later, countless sects in the entire Immortal Realm will hold the Moonlight Duel together with the Moonlight Realm!"

"Once in a hundred years."

"Moonlight Duel."

"Is the pinnacle duel of the young generation of Golden Pill cultivators in the entire Immortal Realm. Talented disciples sent by various major sects will all participate."

"My Dragon Star Immortal Sect has ten slots for participation."

"At that time, it will be a real test for you." Senior South Yin shook his head, "But if you can't even get first place in the sect, why go to the Moonlight Realm? It would be embarrassing even if you went!"

"Moonlight Duel?" Wuyuan's eyes flashed with a gleam.

He had naturally heard of it.

That is one of the most grand events in the entire Immortal Realm, divided into the Golden Pill Battle and the Violet Mansion Battle. Talented disciples dispatched by major sects and forces and the Moonlight Realm will fight against each other.

Most prestigious.

The rewards are also astonishing.

"Go, prepare well."

"A lion must exert all its strength when hunting a hare." Senior South Yin issued an eviction order. "Come to me for guidance again in seven days."

After respectfully saluting, Wuyuan left.
