"Senior, I'm willing," Xiao Lingyu replied respectfully.
"Hehe, since that's the case, you can go to the Hall of Beasts and become a disciple in name."
Old Man Li smiled and took out a black jade tablet. "Leave a strand of your Spiritual Strength inside, and you'll be a member of the East Pole Demon Sect."
Xiao Lingyu didn't hesitate in the slightest. He immediately sent a strand of his Spiritual Imprint into the jade tablet, and it became his nameplate. If he was expelled in the future, the jade tablet would be destroyed as well.
"The registration is done. I'll take him to the Hall of Beasts first." Jiang Kui cupped his fists and bid farewell to Old Man Li.
"Mm, go." Old Man Li nodded, then said just as Jiang Kui turned around, "In the future, take good care of this little brother. I think he's pretty good."
Jiang Kui was a bit confused, but he still turned around and nodded in response.
After leaving the Hall of Beasts, Jiang Kui said curiously, "Senior Brother Li seems to have a good impression of you, but he's always been very cold to everyone and everything. He rarely smiles, and he doesn't say many nice words. Today, he seemed to be a different person."
Xiao Lingyu was also a bit suspicious. Just now, in the Hall of Beasts, he'd clearly felt an almost imperceptible consciousness spying on him. However, because his body's quality was too high, and his cultivation was too high, that consciousness couldn't see through his true cultivation.
And the owner of that will was definitely that old man surnamed Li.
Since someone else was spying on him, Xiao Lingyu wasn't too polite. He also used his consciousness to size up Old Man Li, but found that his aura was only at the peak of the late Heavenly Demon Stage.
Old Man Li was only half a step away from the Demon King Realm. Although that half step was within reach, it also seemed unreachable. He'd probably been stuck in that realm for many years, unable to break through. He'd probably encountered some unexpected situation.
"That Senior Li seems like an expert," Xiao Lingyu said calmly.
"Him? He can't be considered an expert, but his original seniority wasn't low. I remember that when I first entered the sect, he was already in charge of the Hall of Fame. Furthermore, his cultivation base was also at the peak of the late stage of the Devil King Realm. Now that tens of thousands of years have passed, he still looks the same. It is said that he has been stuck in the late stage of the Omen Realm for many years. Even when my master first entered the sect, he was already at the peak of the late stage of the Omen Realm. Moreover, he has always been a small steward in the Hall of Fame. "Jiang Kui shook his head and explained.
If that was the case, it was no wonder that Jiang Kui and Fang Yu were so respectful of Old Man Li. Although Old Man Li's cultivation wasn't very high, his seniority was frighteningly high. Not to mention Jiang Kui's generation of disciples, even Jiang Kui's master and martial uncles didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Old Man Li.
However, the Devil Realm and other places respected strength. Although Old Man Li had been in the Eastern Devil Sect for many years, because of his cultivation base, all the Devil Sect disciples who had reached the Omen Realm all called him Senior Martial Brother Li and not Martial Uncle Li or Martial Ancestor Li.
However, while Jiang Kui called Old Man Li Senior Martial Brother, Jiang Kui's master also called Old Man Li Senior Martial Brother.
Jiang Kui's master was at the late stage of the Devil King Realm, but none of the cultivators in his generation would put on airs in front of Old Man Li just because their cultivation base was high.
It was said that there was once a Devil Sect cultivator who didn't know any better. When he reached the Devil King Realm, he put on airs in front of Old Man Li. Not long after, he was personally expelled from the Eastern Devil Sect by the sect master.
Xiao Lingyu felt that Old Man Li wasn't as simple as he seemed on the surface. At the very least, his soul realm definitely wasn't just at the peak of the late stage of the Omen Realm. If that was really the case, then Old Man Li shouldn't have been able to detect even the slightest bit of his aura. However, Old Man Li should have detected a bit of it just now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so polite to him.
As they walked, Jiang Kui seemed to be worried as he reminded him, "When you reach the Imperial Beast Hall, you have to be careful. Even the cultivators in the sect have to be on guard, especially those vile people like Fang Yu. They won't show mercy to you just because you're from the same sect. If you offend them, they'll do everything in their power to kill you."
"This Junior will definitely be careful." Xiao Lingyu nodded and replied.
Jiang Kui quickly brought Xiao Lingyu to the entrance of the Eastern Devil Sect's Imperial Beast Hall. He said, "My Eastern Devil Sect raises Devil Beasts for two reasons. First, to cultivate some powerful Devil Beasts to serve the sect. Second, to allow disciples with good aptitudes to devour and refine the Devil Beasts' power. Therefore, the Imperial Beast Hall is very important to our Eastern Devil Sect. The entire sect has several thousand eyes watching this place.
If a single mistake is made, it will cause a lot of trouble. "Xiao Lingyu suddenly felt that although Jiang Kui had a rough appearance, he actually had a woman's heart. He actually kept reminding him, someone who had just ascended and had no relationship with him.
"This Junior was recommended by Senior. I will be careful in everything. I won't cause any trouble for Senior." Xiao Lingyu calmly replied.
Along the way to the entrance of the Imperial Beast Hall, Xiao Lingyu didn't see a single Devil King Stage cultivator. He estimated that the strongest person in the Eastern Devil Sect wouldn't be that strong. At most, they would be at the True Demon Stage.
For Xiao Lingyu, the most important task at hand was to go to the Immortal World. He also wanted to go to the Immortal World to find his wife, Anya. However, Anya hadn't ascended to the Immortal World yet, so he didn't need to be too anxious. He first settled down and familiarized himself with the situation in the Devil World.
The Eastern Devil Sect wasn't very strong, but it wasn't very weak either. It was really suitable for him to stay here.
The Imperial Beast Hall of the Eastern Devil Sect was located in the deepest part of the Eastern Devil Sect's encampment. It occupied a vast valley.
The entrance of the valley was the entrance of the Imperial Beast Hall. There was no one guarding it, only a single Devil Beast crouching there.
Jiang Kui led Xiao Lingyu into the valley and saw a variety of Devil Beasts. However, the cultivation of these Devil Beasts wasn't high. The strongest among them was only at the Intermediate Earth Demon Stage. They were afraid of the aura released by Jiang Kui and didn't dare to come close.
In the depths of the valley, there were rows of tall houses. Waves of earth-shaking roars came from these houses, making the whole valley seem very noisy.
"The ones walking around the valley are either young beasts that have just been born, or Magical Beasts that have yet to reach the Late Earth Demon Stage. Once they reach the Heavenly Demon Stage, they will be imprisoned in these houses, or in the caves dug out from all sides." Jiang Kui said, pointing to the houses.
When they arrived in front of a row of relatively low houses, a young cultivator came up to them and said with a smile, "Senior Jiang, you're here."
"Well, is your steward in the valley?" Jiang Kui nodded indifferently and asked.
"The steward is here. I'll help you ask him to come." The young cultivator said and ran away.
After waiting for a hundred breaths of time, the young cultivator came over with a short and slightly hunchbacked old man.
"Junior Martial Brother Jiang, how come you have time to come to the Imperial Beast Hall today?" The hunchbacked old man asked politely.
"Hehe, Senior Martial Brother Zhang, this little brother comes to see you whenever I have time."
Jiang Kui first responded with a smile, then patted Xiao Lingyu's shoulder and said, "This is someone who just ascended from the lower realms and is willing to join our East Demon Sect. He just went to the Hall of Fame to register his name. I'm going to let him stay here and help Senior Martial Brother Zhang."
"Junior Martial Brother Jiang is really anxious. The Imperial Beast Hall is currently short of manpower. Brother, you brought me a person. If you have time, I'll definitely invite you to drink a few more cups." The hunchbacked old man said gratefully.
"In that case, I'll leave him to Senior Martial Brother. Everything will be arranged by Senior Martial Brother. I have other things to do, so I won't bother you anymore. "
"Take care, Junior Martial Brother."
Jiang Kui left the Imperial Beast Hall accompanied by the young cultivator. The hunchbacked old man asked, "What's your name?"
"This one is Xiao Lingyu." Xiao Lingyu cupped his fists and replied.
"Come with me." The hunchbacked old man said, then turned around and walked towards a room.
The room's furnishings were very simple. There was only a table and a few chairs. Moreover, they were all made of ordinary stones.
"Come, take a seat first." The old man sat behind the table, then pointed at the stone chair in front of the table and said.
"Senior, thank you for giving me a seat." Xiao Lingyu sat down unhurriedly.
"Since Junior Martial Brother Jiang recommended you, this old man will naturally take care of you. However, the Imperial Beast Hall has its own rules. If you violate the rules, you'll be punished. Here's a jade slip. Some of the rules of the East Demon Sect and the Imperial Beast Hall are engraved inside.
Take a good look at it carefully, "the hunchbacked old man said as he put an ordinary jade slip on the table.
Xiao Lingyu picked up the jade slip and scanned it with his mind. He said, "This one will definitely remember it."
There wasn't much content in the jade slip. Not to mention Xiao Lingyu, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be able to memorize it in an instant.
"You've just arrived at the Imperial Beast Hall. There are some things you need to familiarize yourself with for a while. First, familiarize yourself with the young beasts in the valley. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your fellow disciples for advice." After the hunchbacked old man said this, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Just as he reached the door, he turned around and said, "In the future, this room will be the place where you usually cultivate. There's a secret room inside."
After the hunchbacked old man left, Xiao Lingyu let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he began to look around the room that belonged to him.
The room wasn't big. The living room was only about twenty square meters. The secret room inside was even smaller. It was only ten feet long and wide.
However, when he first entered the Demon Realm, he finally found a good place to stay. Naturally, Xiao Lingyu wouldn't be too picky.
Not long after, the young cultivator who went to send Jiang Kui came in. He said with a calm expression, "You've just ascended?"
When Xiao Lingyu saw that the young cultivator was about to be lectured by a senior expert, he originally wanted to make friends with him. However, at this moment, he lost interest and replied, "Yes."
The young cultivator didn't hold back. He immediately sat down and said, "Since you've just ascended and just entered the sect, you need to be more diligent in the future. Also, you need to be more polite."
"En." Xiao Lingyu responded with a nasal sound. However, he didn't look at the young cultivator.
