Wen Ping prepares to attend the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking opening. He leaves his parents to enjoy their time together and heads to the event with his disciples. Upon arrival, they are met with great fanfare. Wen Ping is approached by Si Haixian, who explains the significance of hosting the event, including the opportunity to meet the You Country Sovereign and potentially become a Sealing King. Wen Ping expresses disinterest in becoming an official of You Country but shows interest in Si Haixian himself.

Wen Ping calmly watched Si Haixian.

"Since you think the Primordial Yang Domain needs its own King-sealing expert, why can’t that person be you?"

After speaking, Wen Ping patted Si Haixian’s shoulder with his right hand. The force wasn’t strong, but he patted twice, as if trying to wake Si Haixian up.

Si Haixian glanced at Wen Ping’s hand on his shoulder and understood something, but dared not think too much because it was beyond his imagination.

An Immortal Sect recruiting officials from You Country?

Has there ever been a precedent?

No.

In the past, one only heard of strong figures from the sect vying for positions in the You Country’s officialdom for status, power, and greater strength.

However, Wen Ping’s words touched the depths of his heart.

To become a King-sealing expert.

Who wouldn’t want that?

"Sect Leader Wen, I don’t understand your meaning." But in order not to expose his desires, Si Haixian could only pretend to not understand.

Wen Ping saw through Si Haixian’s laughable façade of ambivalence, and with a smile said, "Domain Master Si, though you and I haven’t known each other long, there’s no need for pretense. Frankly, I have no interest in becoming a core member of You Country. My greater interest is in you joining the Immortal Sect!"

Wen Ping didn’t hold back.

Recruiting a future Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm expert naturally couldn’t be achieved with superficial tricks or minor tactics.

Si Haixian is talented.

Therefore, honesty is essential.

Si Haixian was startled to hear Wen Ping express his intentions so candidly and hurriedly asked, "Sect Leader Wen, you’re openly trying to poach someone from You Country, and... doesn’t the Immortal Sect have enough Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts?"

"Enough? We just barely have more than two handfuls, not much at all." Wen Ping counted the demon body stolen from the Sky-Split Race’s Wood Dragon as part of the tally.

"Two handfuls! Cough, cough—"

Si Haixian nearly choked on Wen Ping’s words.

Isn’t two handfuls enough?

That’s almost on par with those top-tier Six-star influences standing at the pinnacle in You Country outside of the Primordial Yang Domain.

"Alright, I won’t say much more. Domain Master Si, if you ever think about becoming a King-sealing expert or joining my Immortal Sect, you can come to me at any time." Wen Ping threw him a Sound Transmission Stone without saying more, as haste wouldn’t help the process.

Si Haixian wasn’t a child, and a few words wouldn’t sway him.

Currently, his words could at most plant a seed in Si Haixian’s heart.

As for when this seed will germinate?

When it will grow into a towering tree?

This is an unknown.

In any case, Si Haixian is worth his time and attention.

Si Haixian caught the Sound Transmission Stone with one hand, and after a few moments of silence, finally nodded and said, "Sect Leader Wen, I will consider it. I just fear that when the time comes I want to join, but Sect Leader Wen won’t dare to accept me. Hahaha—"

After saying this, Si Haixian laughed heartily toward the sky a few times.

The last sentence sounded like a joke.

But also seemed sincere.

In response, Wen Ping smiled without replying.

Si Haixian didn’t pursue the topic further and instead took out the "key" that could activate the Seven Domains Ascension List from his Storage Ring.

This "key" was crescent-shaped, palm-sized, and emitted a faint green glow. However, this glow didn’t remain constant but pulsed, sometimes active and sometimes dormant.

As for the material, Wen Ping couldn’t discern it, but he could feel an extraordinarily vast and pure aura of heavenly materials and treasures emanating from it.

This is a type of Qi, similar to Wood Qi, called Earth Qi!

The amount of Earth Qi contained in this "key" could actually match the Wood Qi contained in the Jianmu Tree Seedling above the Immortal Sect.

It is indeed extraordinary!

After all, Jianmu is something that exists only in the immortal cultivation world.

"Another good thing, although I can’t use it, I can give it to Zi Ran." Wen Ping secretly marveled in his heart.

After observing a few more moments, Wen Ping noticed that the "key" was not very smooth as a whole, but rather had distinct edges and corners, not resembling a complete object, but more like a scattered piece. Presumably, like the upcoming Seven Domains Ascension List, it is just a part of the complete key.

Just as he was thinking about seizing it when the opportunity arose, Si Haixian spoke, "Sect Leader Wen, this task of activating the ’Seven Domains Ascension List’ is better left to you. After all, the position has already been decided, and changing it at the last minute wouldn’t be appropriate. Everyone is looking forward to you activating the ’Seven Domains Ascension List’."

"Alright, then you owe me a favor." Wen Ping accepted the key without hesitation.

Si Haixian was dumbfounded on the spot, "How did this become..."

How did he owe a favor?

Si Haixian wanted to defend himself with a couple of words, but Wen Ping cut him off first.

"With my power, isn’t King-sealing within reach? Isn’t sealing a king sooner better than later? Since time is so precious, and I’m willing to spend it helping you activate the ’Seven Domains Ascension List,’ tell me, don’t you owe me a favor?"

Si Haixian was rendered speechless.

That reasoning seems sound.

But thinking it over, it also seems wrong.

While pondering, Wen Ping spoke again, "Alright, remove the Sound Insulation Barrier. You should go welcome your superior."

"Ah?"

Si Haixian was puzzled, but when he saw the massive black shadow appearing on the horizon, he hurriedly removed the Sound Insulation Barrier and ascended into the sky.

Because the massive black shadow wasn’t a dark cloud, but a Demon Ancestor.

He came from the Black Qi Clan!

His appearance signified the descent of the You Country Royal Family.

Because the Black Qi Clan is loyal to the You Country Royal Family and never leaves the capital without permission, and never allows anyone outside the You Country Royal Family to ride on it.

"Welcome, Prince Longyang!"

Si Haixian immediately bowed, respectfully lowering his head deeply.

As Si Haixian rose, forces from the Primordial Yang Domain and Heaven Unrestricted powerhouses all rose to greet him in unison.

"Welcome, Prince Longyang!"

"Welcome, Prince Longyang!"

"Welcome, Prince Longyang!"

People around the plaza who heard the name of Prince Longyang displayed expressions of surprise, and the previously boisterous atmosphere changed dramatically.

People quieted down, humbling themselves, bending their backs originally as straight as pine towards where Prince Longyang was coming from.

As the gigantic black shadow got closer, Wen Ping’s Spiritual Power, which he had retracted, extended once more, landing on the back of the Giant Demon.

He had no interest in the You Country Royal Family.

However, upon learning that the visitor was Prince Longyang, Wen Ping became a little curious.

Because he had once killed someone of Prince Longyang’s.

What was that person’s name again?

Right.

Tian Mu.

Long Ye referred to him as Commander Tian Mu.

Of course, simply having killed someone under Prince Longyang didn’t concern Wen Ping. After all, killing Wuqi King didn’t bother him much, let alone a mere subordinate under the You Country Royal Family.

What made Wen Ping take note of Prince Longyang is that Commander Tian Mu was a Shadow Building infiltrator.

Where there’s one, there might be two.

This royal from You Country might have more of the Shadow Building infiltrators around.

So Wen Ping decided to use the system to take a closer look.
