Chapter 193: Heading to Tai Xue Sect
“The Myriad Immortal Sect is recruiting disciples?”
Even Song Jiulai, who was in the Secret Realm, was moved upon hearing this.
She asked in disbelief, “Does the Myriad Immortal Sect also recruit disciples from outside? I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
The Myriad Immortal Sect doesn’t usually hold such selection conferences for disciples because talented individuals are naturally recommended by the sects below.
Holding further selections would have little meaning.
At least, in all the time Song Jiulai had been here, she had never heard of the Myriad Immortal Sect holding such a grand event.
This time was truly unexpected.
The System asked, “Do you want to go?”
Song Jiulai shamelessly admitted she was very tempted: “That’s the Myriad Immortal Sect. I wouldn’t have dared to think about it before, but now that I’ve opened my Sea of Consciousness early and successfully reached Foundation Establishment, and who knows what the situation will be after this Secret Realm ends. In three months, if I work hard and can break through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, it wouldn’t be a problem for me to participate.”
The System said, “You, the Sect Master of the Longevity Sect, are going to participate in the Myriad Immortal Sect’s disciple selection conference. What about the Longevity Sect? You can’t deviate from the main quest!”
Song Jiulai clicked her tongue, “Are you stupid? Can’t I disguise my identity? I could send the Shuitan to the Guanhai Sect, so what’s wrong with me, as a Sect Master, going undercover in the Myriad Immortal Sect?”
The System: “…I didn’t expect you to be so clever.”
“?”
The System analyzed carefully, “It’s not impossible, but the difficulty is not small. The Myriad Immortal Sect has such great momentum this time; cultivators from the entire Yunzhou Continent might come. Heaven’s Chosen are like carp crossing a river; you might not be able to win.”
“Are you quoting ancient sayings to me now? How can you boost others’ morale and dampen your own? You don’t know if I can do it until we start! Besides, they haven’t said how many quotas there are. They can’t possibly select only one disciple at a time, can they?”
The System calculated and found that this action was not judged as a violation, so it said, “Then go if you want to.”
Song Jiulai then said, “I’ll go after I get out of this Secret Realm first. By the way, when does the Moonlight Secret Realm end?”
The System said, “According to Li Qianqing, some people will come out early, and some can last for more than three Secret Realms. The longer they last, the better, especially since they can’t replenish their Pills.”
Even if they had the strength to enter more Secret Realms, without the replenishment of Pills, they could only withdraw with regret.
Li Qianqing is a good child, at least he revealed a lot of information.
Song Jiulai pondered.
The Secret Realm she was currently in had not yet encountered any danger, but it was filled with strangeness.
The sky always had the moon hanging in it. Song Jiulai had been here for a long time, but it never got light.
Although there was Spiritual Energy here, no Spirit Herbs grew.
She hadn’t even seen a single Spirit Herb.
This made Song Jiulai feel a little disappointed about her desire to gather Spirit Herbs.
This situation was still somewhat strange.
Even in some mountain forests in reality, there would be some wild Spirit Herbs.
Not seeing a single one here was indeed strange.
After emerging from the initial lake, she found herself in an endless plain with lush vegetation. Bathed in the bright moonlight, Song Jiulai kept walking forward.
Until she saw, not far ahead, two Black Blood Lions lazily squatting there, looking quite comfortable.
“Tier 3 Demonic Beast, Black Blood Lion?”
Song Jiulai was somewhat surprised. The Demonic Beasts in front of her looked very much like Tier 3 Demonic Beasts, the Black Blood Lions.
Why “very much like”?
It was because the appearance of the Black Blood Lions before her was incomparable to the Black Blood Lions of the Yunzhou Continent.
The Black Blood Lions in front of her had a normal appearance!
They were pure black lions, surrounded by a faint black aura, and exuded a strong smell of blood.
There was no disgusting, corroded appearance.
After all, current Demonic Beasts were more hideous than the last.
It was like something out of a zombie apocalypse.
The black manes of the two Black Blood Lions before her were thick and shiny, even majestic.
Just standing there, they were huge, imposing, and magnificent.
“Holy crap, is this the appearance a Black Blood Lion should have?”
Anyway, the one time Song Jiulai had seen a Black Blood Lion, it was nothing but an eyesore.
The System said, “Yes… it’s a bit like that bird seen by the Shuitan.”
As Song Jiulai approached, the two Black Blood Lions sensed her aura and immediately became vigilant.
Upon spotting Song Jiulai, they immediately let out a roar to the sky.
“Roar~!”
The roar of the giant beasts seemed to echo for tens of miles. The red pupils of the Black Blood Lions also exuded intense killing intent, and they charged towards Song Jiulai.
Their speed was like the wind. As they ran, black mist swirled. With a flick of their heads, two wind blades shot towards Song Jiulai.
These were the moves of the Black Blood Lions.
Song Jiulai was naturally not afraid of Tier 3 Demonic Beasts. She had even dealt with Tier 4 ones, so why would she fear Tier 3?
She was just a little shocked.
After the shock, she felt a moment of regret: “I haven’t learned Spirit Beast cultivation. It would be great if I could take these two lions back.”
The System said, “The Demonic Beast by the Shuitan was killed and revived repeatedly. You might not be able to take them out. The Small World of this Moonlight Secret Realm is very strange, not like the usual style of Secret Realms in the Yunzhou Continent.”
She couldn’t take them out.
These words made Song Jiulai pause. After flying into the sky and easily dodging the Black Blood Lions’ attacks, she didn’t strike. Suddenly, she slapped her thigh: “I’ve got it! I can use the Nine Revolutions Puppet Technique!”
She had previously disdained this Cultivation Technique because the appearance of the Demonic Beasts outside was not good, so she hadn’t practiced it much. Now was the perfect time to refine these two Black Blood Lions.
Song Jiulai rubbed her hands together, overjoyed, preparing to start tiring out these two Black Blood Lions. Refining them after they were exhausted would be more effective, greatly increasing the success rate.
After all, they were two Tier 3 beasts. She didn’t know if she would encounter other Demonic Beasts in this Secret Realm, so she should cherish them for now.
At the same time, a sound transmission from the Myriad Immortal Sect spread throughout the entire Yunzhou Continent, causing a sensation for the training quota.
Wang’an County was also very lively, but after the excitement, most Players went back to doing what they were supposed to do.
This was because they were disciples of the Longevity Sect and couldn’t go.
As for betraying the Sect?
That was out of the question.
They could go to matches like those of the Guanhai Sect, but for something like the Myriad Immortal Sect, they could only join in the fun.
Meanwhile, Zhan Sheng logged in and had already prepared to head to Tai Xue Sect, so he came to find Zhai Xiaotian.
Zhai Xiaotian was not surprised to see Zhan Sheng arrive.
But in his heart, he was still satisfied with the Longevity Sect Master’s perceptiveness.
Such a talented disciple couldn’t be kept here and delayed.
However, he changed the subject and suddenly asked, “Did you hear the sound transmission from the Great Expert of the Myriad Immortal Sect this afternoon?”
Zhan Sheng nodded, “Senior, I heard it.”
Zhai Xiaotian then said, “With your talent, if you cultivate diligently, you might be able to break through to the Late Qi Condensation Stage within three months and compete for this selection quota.”
Zhan Sheng shook his head, “Senior, it is already a great fortune for me, a junior, to have your recommendation. I dare not wish for anything else.”
Zhai Xiaotian just smiled and said, “That’s a real pity.”
He also knew that Zhan Sheng was not necessarily able to get into the Myriad Immortal Sect.
The main reason was that she was too old. Even with a Gold Spiritual Root, it was impossible to compete with those who had cultivated for over a decade with a Gold Spiritual Root.
