As soon as the sect master entered, the surrounding atmosphere shifted from relative calm to absolute silence, as if the air itself stopped moving. He sat in his lavish chair and glanced at those present. He noticed zhao yongzheng with some surprise, but did not comment. Then he declared in a quiet voice, "The date of the invisible spirits realm has been confirmed. It'll be ten days from now."
He turned his head slightly towards the master of the formation hall, saying, "Qing shan, you will be the one leading this campaign this time."
Choosing Qing Shan was the best option currently available. After the Heavenly tribulation of the sinner, the strongest members of the sect were severely injured, and one even died. The rest are still suffering from their injuries and have not yet fully recovered. Although Qing Shan was less powerful than the late Lin Shan, she was the best choice at the moment compared to others.
Qing Shan bowed in an expression of approval.
"Cough, cough. Has the number of people going this time been determined or not yet mentioned?" The question came from the master of the divine eye hall, zhao changming, who was still coughing despite being treated with the most powerful medicine available in the sect, showing the horror of that grim incident.
The sect master nodded his head and said, "It has been determined that the other five sects will send thirty people plus one master from each sect. The suppression of the invisible spirits realm this time is a bit stronger than the last time, so this number has been determined."
"Oh, this time the harvest will be good then," Master of the divine revelation sword hall, shen bolin, spoke with a smile as he heard the news.
Sect master nodded in support, then looked at the disciples and stood up from his chair and said firmly, "The invisible spirits realm appears only every seven thousand years, so you are very lucky to see it, but with so many benefits comes disaster. the invisible spirits realm is not an easy thing to think about. The accidents, the beasts, the environmental catastrophes that happen there can take your soul before you know it. So I count on you to watch your young brothers in the sect well when you go."
All the disciples present put their fists together and bowed as they received the order of sect master.
"You can go now," The sect master said, waving at the disciples to leave. Everyone bowed down and left slowly. Zhao yongzheng looked at Zhao Mei from behind with a sneak glance as she left, but he did not move and remained standing. That sneak glance did not escape the eyes of the hall masters and sect master, when she saw him standing, zhao xiaohui also stood still.
Sect master looked at zhao yongzheng, narrowed his eyes slightly and said curiously, "What's there?"
"Mm, I want to go too," Zhao yongzheng said in a quiet voice, surprising everyone. Even the masters of the halls looked in amazement and could not believe their ears. The sect master had just said about the dangers of that realm, and this boy wanted to go there.
"Impossible" the first person to speak after hearing those surprising words was zhao xiaohui, not believing what she heard and said in fear as she looked at her younger brother.
"Boy, do you really know what an invisible spirits realm can do to you?" Zhao changming spoke calmly, looking at his nephew like a madman.
"I know," Zhao yongzheng nodded and said, "invisible spirits realm, the origin of all six Spirits sects and all of them return to it and is the reason for their existence: Earth Spirit Sect, Bamboo Spirit sect, Mysterious Spirit sect, Silver Moon Spirit sect, Bright Star Spirit sect, and Eternal Spirit sect."
All six spirit sects were founded by that realm. It is said that when the ancestors of the six sects of life first entered the realm, they faced challenges unimaginable. At first, they had to adapt to the harsh environment and fierce spiritual beasts. In time, they discovered innumerable treasures and scarce spiritual resources, enabling them to develop their spiritual power and to lay the foundations for the powerful sects we know today. Those same resources were what made them thrive.
Every spiritual treasure found there, whether it was a technique, a weapon, or even a spiritual herb, was the reason for the rise of six sects and made them one of the upper sects in the celestial cloud realm, specifically in the area of heavenly spirits. Demonstrating the importance of the hidden spirit world of the six spirit sects, the sects were assessed on the number of people whose cultivation exceeded the blossoming of energy and was thus called the 'refinement of existence', if there were at least two people in that cultivation. That sect will be called an upper sect.
The eternal spirit sect was the only one with five individuals who reached advanced stages at that stage of cultivation within the area of heavenly spirits. Even the royal and venerable sects recognized their power and gave them the necessary respect. But after Shen bolin's death and the others were seriously injured, their reputation and power declined significantly. However, they still retain their high position, having four individuals left in the cultivation of refinement of existence, which makes them have immense power to be reckoned with even if they are severely infected.
That explains why no one dared touch Zhao yongzheng, even knowing that he was the sinful son, the key element in the great breakthrough pill. This is because he is the son of the master Eternal spirit sect, who did not hesitate to fully activate the Spiritual Essence to save someone who would only live one life cycle. This bold act not only demonstrated his deep commitment, but also cemented Zhao yongzheng's position as an individual who could not be compromised or ridiculed.
The sect master said in a sharp tone, "Dangers in the invisible spirits realm are not just from the spiritual beasts or the disasters that are there. But also from other sects competing for resources. Every step you take there is risky."
Zhao Yongchen responded with coldness and ridicule." The invisible spirits realm only appears once every seven thousand years, and I am lucky that it appears in my last year. What can someone like me soon have to lose?!"
The master of the divine eye hall frowned, and his voice mixed with cough and anger became louder: "What the sh#t is your mind talking about? Theinvisible spirits realm is not a recreational trip to say you want to go and simply agree! This is a very dangerous place, no one can take it lightly!"
The master of phoenix hall, Deng Xiaowan, who was usually calm and reserved, intervened saying: "I completely agree with Zhao changming. I don't see any point in risking going there. Even those who have reached the stage of refinement of existence cannot guarantee their safety if they are not careful."
Zhao yongzheng responded with determination and a little sarcasm "What about that? Whether I go there or not, I will eventually die, so I prefer my life to be full of some excitement, even if it means I will die there. At least I'll have moved my departure date forward for a few months, that's all."
Zhao yongzheng looked steadfastly at his father's eyes, without even blinking in the face of his gaze penetrating the depth of his soul. After a few seconds of silence, the sect master broke the silence with a broad ear to ear smile, saying with a slight laugh, "Hahaha, well, I agree"
