The Subduing Immortal Sect was located on the main peak of the mountain range. Spiritual energy was gathered in the surroundings by a formation.
After the rain, the sky was clear, and the sun shone down, landing on countless majestic buildings. Even before the sun reached them, it gave off a faint sense of pressure.
Su Yin was filled with excitement as he slowly walked up the long stone steps.
It was time for him to cultivate.
In the near future, he would be able to fulfill his dream of riding on a sword and traverse the Nineteen Prefectures!
As for whether or not the cultivation technique was suitable for him … that was not a problem at all!
As a transcender, any cultivation technique would be suitable for him. How could he say that there was something special about it?
On the contrary, it was the most normal thing to do.
I get it!
There was some distance between the Forbidden Grounds and the Subduing Immortal Sect, and Su Yin was only an ordinary human. His speed was not fast, so he was unable to ride on a sword. Chen Yu and Zhao Ruoxu thought that Senior Granduncle Zhang was trying to experience life, and their admiration for him deepened.
Following behind Zhang Xuan, they explained the situation of the Subduing Immortal Sect and the world around them.
The Great Yan Prefecture was located at the very edge of the Dry Origin Continent, but it was extremely vast. It spanned over several hundred thousand li, and there were thousands of sects in it. In order to better regulate the distribution of resources, the Subduing Immortal Sect had come up with a rule, and that was … a trial would be held every five years.
Based on the number of experts and overall strength, the sects could be divided into First Tier, Second Tier, Third Tier, and so on.
The Subduing Immortal Sect was still considered strong when Senior Freifeng was still around. However, after his death, the sect gradually declined. This was especially so five years ago, when they only managed to get into the top ten despite all their hard work.
A new trial would be held three months later. If the sect leader and the First Elder were unable to achieve a breakthrough, they would surely lose a rank.
This was also the reason why they chose to venture into the Celestial Ocean in search of fortuitous encounters.
"What I find is a fortuitous encounter, and what I don't find is death … The cultivation world is indeed a dangerous place!"
Su Yin said with a grim look in his eyes.
In this place, one could achieve immortality and Sword Kinesis Flight, but one had to trade one's life for it! There were experts everywhere, and the slightest carelessness could lead to one's death.
"I can't run around without strength …"
There was only hope if he was alive. If he was dead, there would be nothing left.
"Martial Granduncle, Master and a few elders have been waiting for you inside for a long time!"
While Su Yin was deep in thought, Chen Yu's voice suddenly sounded. It was only then that Su Yin realized that he had arrived before a massive hall. Taking a deep breath, he walked in.
The hall was spacious, with an area of several hundred square meters. Thick stone pillars supported the wooden roof, giving people a feeling of boundless vastness.
In the hall, several old men saw him walk in. They bowed and clasped their fists together.
"Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle …"
Nodding, Su Yin looked at the six people in front of him.
According to Chen Yu's introduction, there were currently only six elders left in the entire sect: the Ninth Elder Wu Yuan, the Tenth Elder Yuan Buyi, the Thirteenth Elder Mu Kaishan, the Seventeenth Elder Sun Tinghe, the Eighteenth Elder Zhang Liaoqing, and the Managing Elder Tian Yuan.
These people were all in the Divinity Realm. The strongest among them, Wu Yuen, was only in the fifth level. There was still a long way to go before reaching the Grandmaster Realm.
It was no wonder why he was asked to leave the sect. Given the cultivation of these people, it was indeed impossible for them to support a top-tier sect in the Great Yan Prefecture.
While Zhang Xuan was assessing the crowd, the elders were also looking at him. Soon, they glanced at one another.
Didn't he cultivate for ten years?
Why did it seem like … he didn't have any cultivation at all?
After a moment of hesitation, Wu Yuen said, "Chen Yu should have told you about the problems that the sect is facing. Junior Martial Uncle, please take charge of the sect!"
"I can take charge of the sect, but there are two things that I need to make clear in advance."
Su Yin spoke of the things that he had thought about on the way here. "Firstly, I will only be taking charge of the sect in name. I won't interfere in the affairs of the sect, and I don't want to. As for how to convince the disciples and stabilize them, I'll leave that to you."
Since ancient times, power and wealth had always been tempting. Without sufficient strength, one should never touch them.
The crowd nodded.
They were still worried that their Junior Martial Uncle would forcefully take charge of the sect after understanding the situation, but from the looks of it now, they were worried for nothing.
Su Yin continued, "Secondly, I need a quiet place to stay. It'll be best if it has a large courtyard where I can grow vegetables and food. I don't want to be disturbed easily."
"This …"
After a moment of hesitation, Wu Yuen said, "There is such a place, but it has been a long time since anyone has lived there. Furthermore, it's a little remote, and the spiritual energy there isn't too concentrated …"
"That's good!" Su Yin nodded.
It would be best for him to keep as low a profile as possible. It would be best if he didn't come into contact with anyone. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to be exposed.
As for the remote location … Would he be able to avoid the forbidden grounds?
"I'll have someone clean it up right now!"
Wu Yuan replied. With a conflicted look on his face, he asked, "May I know what realm Junior Martial Uncle has reached at the moment?"
He wasn't the only one who was perplexed. The other five elders were also perplexed.
They had all reached Divinity realm, but they were still unable to gauge Zhang Xuan's strength. Could it be that … in just ten short years, he had already surpassed them?
"Me?" Su Yin felt a little awkward. He wanted to hide it from them, but eventually, he shook his head and said, "I'm just a mortal …"
"Mortal?"
Everyone was stunned.
Wu Yuan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then … can I use my Spiritual Perception to check on you?"
A person with an Innate Dao Constitution who cultivated for ten years …
Mortal?
Are you kidding me?
"Sure!" Su Yin nodded.
"Pardon me …"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Wu Yuen extended his Spiritual Perception forward. Soon, he frowned.
There was no sign of Zhen Yuan at all!
His strength continued.
He could clearly sense that after his Spiritual Perception penetrated the other party's skin, it felt as though it had landed on steel or stone. Furthermore, there was a powerful pressure within the other party's muscles, as if they were repelling his strength.
Boom!
Following which, an authoritative aura swept across the area. For an instant, he felt a little dazed. It felt as though the person he was probing was no longer an ordinary person but an immortal.
Deng deng deng deng deng!
He retreated eight steps back, and his face paled.
Immortals shouldn't be insulted, and Saints shouldn't be probed!
Legend had it that Immortals and Saints harnessed the power of the Great Dao within their bodies, and ordinary people were forbidden from prying into them.
Could it be that the Innate Dao Constitution and Immortal Bloodline possessed such an ability as well?
"Let me give it another try!"
Gritting his teeth, he exerted all of his strength this time around. A few breaths later, he finally reached his limit. Pu! Fresh blood spurted from his mouth.
"What's wrong?"
The other five elders also extended their Spiritual Perception over curiously.
"No!"
Wu Yuen shook his head anxiously. Before he could finish his words, the other five elders had already retreated with ghastly pale faces.
"…"
Su Yin smiled bitterly.
He was still worried that these elders would be too embarrassed to cooperate with him, but from the looks of it now, he was overthinking things …
To even spurt blood …
It was clear that they were more professional than Chen Yu and the others!
For a top-tier sect like the Immortal Quelling Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects of the Great Yan Continent, to be willing to put on an act just to protect themselves … It was truly not easy!
Pitiful!
Tragic!
Sorrowful!
"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back to my room …"
Knowing that it was his lack of strength that caused the others to fall into such a state, Su Yin felt as if he was sitting on a bed of needles.
"Ah … Alright!"
Wu Yuan instructed. Chen Yu and Zhao Ruoxu led Little Senior Uncle out of the room.
As soon as Wu Yuan left, the room fell silent once more.
"I understand now!"
After a long while, Wu Yuen spoke with a grim expression. "As expected of Little Senior Uncle. You have such foresight. I can't wait any longer! To be honest, why didn't I think of such a method? "
The crowd was perplexed.
Instead of answering the question directly, Wu Yuen asked, "Do you believe that someone with the Innate Dao Constitution and Immortal Bloodline would only be an ordinary mortal after cultivating for ten years without the slightest bit of cultivation?"
"I don't!"
"Do you believe that someone has reached Zongshi realm?"
"I still don't believe it!"
"That's why Little Senior Uncle is so brilliant! Based on what I've said, an eighteen -year-old Zongshi realm cultivator would be the number one expert in the Great Yan Continent. In fact, he would be ranked among the top five experts on the entire Dry Origin Continent! With such a huge reputation, there would surely be countless experts who would come to challenge him … "
Wu Yuen explained. "It's fine to hide once, but what about a second time, a third time, or even multiple times? It's only a matter of time before his lies are exposed! "
The crowd nodded in agreement.
At the same time, he would have to bear a huge amount of pressure as well.
"Disguising himself as an ordinary mortal and concealing his true cultivation so that others wouldn't be able to see through his facade … That would be even more intimidating and instilling fear in others! It's much more brilliant than disguising as an expert! "
Wu Yuen sighed. "Even though Little Senior Uncle is only eighteen years old, he's already able to play with the hearts of others in the palm of his hand. I can't wait to see his wits and wits!
"No one would believe that he's strong, and no one would believe that he's weak either. Since that's the case, he might as well act more mysterious and instill fear in others! That would be even more effective than disguising as an expert! "
The crowd widened their eyes in realization as they recalled the young man's actions once more. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was a perfect fit.
"Little Senior Uncle's disguise has already begun, so we mustn't drag him down. From today onward, we'll have to be serious and not speak a word about his cultivation!"
Wu Yuen instructed. "Also, keep his whereabouts a secret. Let everyone know that there's such a person, but no one knows where he is! The more mysterious he is, the better! "
"Yes!"
Everyone clasped their fists.
That was the true disguise!
Just a casual action, yet it contained such deep meaning. As expected of Little Senior Uncle …
We're convinced!
