System's Super Sect Chapter 1382 - 1183: The Rush to Join the Immortal Sect Begins (Monthly Pass Requested)
Previously on System's Super Sect...
As for the You Country Capital, it’s fine not to go.
Because there’s nothing there worth going for.
The final Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking contest in You Country still doesn’t have a set time, but it will definitely be at least one to two months from now.
And that’s the earliest.
If it’s slower, it might be three months later.
With such a long stretch, once Yang Lele and Yun Liao return to the Sect they’ll probably be able to cultivate several Tier Four magic arts to the peak and give birth to Spiritual Objects.
Are they supposed to go to the You Country Capital to watch Sect infighting?
But just as Wen Ping was preparing to leave, a streak of white light suddenly slammed down.
Boom—
The Teleportation Array activated.
The Sword Demon walked out of the Teleportation Array under countless watching eyes, the scarlet killing intent around his body so dense it couldn’t be restrained, making countless people’s hearts pound in terror.
Even those at Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm like him felt a jolt of dread when they looked at the Sword Demon, as if they were facing one of the top three Middle Realm monsters in You Country.
"Who is this person?"
"What a terrifying killing intent!"
The Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm experts on Prince Longyang’s side immediately spoke up in curiosity, which also made Prince Longyang involuntarily study the Sword Demon a few times more closely.
He hadn’t noticed anything when just glancing over, but once he looked carefully, Prince Longyang felt this face was somewhat familiar.
Like he’d seen it before.
While Prince Longyang was pondering, the Sword Demon walked toward Wen Ping under everyone’s gaze, slightly bowing as he said, "Sect Leader, I didn’t come too late, did I?"
Wen Ping shook his head. "No. Just find a place to sit. When their rewards have all been handed out, it’ll be your disciple-choosing segment."
With that said, Wen Ping spoke again, adding a line of reminder.
"Once someone chooses you, you’re not allowed to refuse."
If he didn’t remind him, with the Sword Demon’s temperament he’d probably find some excuse to decline.
Or push them off onto Celestial String.
"Sect Leader, there’s really no room for discussion?" The Sword Demon looked a bit helpless. After all, he was still busy with cultivation, trying to catch up to Si Haixian—where would he find the time to instruct disciples?
Wen Ping smiled lightly and asked, "What do you think?"
The Sword Demon froze.
He felt like there was a blade hidden in that smile.
He hurriedly responded!
"Sect Leader, rest assured—anyone willing to take me as their master, I will teach without reservation. I’ll train them to become a standout among the Immortal Sect’s younger generation."
As his words fell, the Sword Demon swept a glance around him.
He saw many pairs of blazing hot eyes.
That made the Sword Demon’s heart give a sudden thump.
No way...?
That many?
As time went on, the process of handing out rewards gradually approached its end, and the disciple-selection segment naturally kicked off.
Many Five-star Giant Influences.
And many Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts.
Without exception, they all entered recruitment mode, endlessly offering olive branches to different geniuses.
Of course.
No one reached toward the top fifty.
Leaving aside that half of them belonged to the Immortal Sect, the rest all had their sights set on Celestial Unrestricted experts—there was no way it would come down to them.
But what many people hadn’t imagined was that quite a few geniuses actually turned down the olive branches from Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts.
Why?
Only after multiple Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts pressed them with questions did they reveal their reason.
Because they wanted to challenge the Master’s Dao Maze.
They wanted to enter the Immortal Sect.
As soon as they heard this reason, many Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts instantly lost their temper.
Of course.
There were still some who chose to take a master on the spot.
The reason was simple.
They valued the opportunity right in front of them more.
As more and more people chose to join new Sects, or were accepted as Direct Disciples by Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts, the number of people in the center of the plaza grew fewer and fewer.
Immediately after, the Celestial Unrestricted experts also stepped in.
A war over recruits was about to explode!
The Celestial Unrestricted experts and Six-star Influences brought out every trick they had for the sake of a single genius. But then, something interesting happened.
"Senior, I’m sorry, but I want to go challenge the Master’s Dao Maze." A genius ranked thirty-seventh on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking turned down a Celestial Unrestricted expert’s olive branch right on the spot.
That Celestial Unrestricted expert from the Domain Lord’s Mansion suddenly couldn’t keep his expression from darkening.
After glancing at Wen Ping, and seeing the Sword Demon’s eyes, which were filled with that bone-chilling killing intent, he didn’t say anything more.
He was displeased, but there was nothing he could do.
Right after that, more and more people refused olive branches from Celestial Unrestricted experts. Among those in the top fifty on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, besides the twenty-plus from the Immortal Sect, and discounting the top ten monsters known to all, of the dozen or so remaining, only three or four chose to accept olive branches from Celestial Unrestricted experts.
The remaining ten all chose to go challenge the Master’s Dao Maze.
This left many Celestial Unrestricted experts feeling helpless and, at the same time, resigned.
They’d been Celestial Unrestricted experts for so many years—when had they ever suffered this kind of humiliation?
They were actually being despised by the younger generation.
The members of the Long Family and the Pavilion Master of the Wangkshen Pavilion exchanged a smile when they saw this.
Good thing they hadn’t insensibly thrown out an olive branch.
It’s worth mentioning that those top-tier prodigies who had lost early on to Yang Lele and Yun Liao’s hands,
originally they could have had very good rankings on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, but because of Yun Liao and Yang Lele, even at the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, they still failed to enter the top hundred.
People had thought they wouldn’t be considering entering the Immortal Sect, yet unexpectedly, as soon as the many Celestial Unrestricted experts spoke up, they too refused.
Clearly, because of the Immortal Sect, they didn’t even have the qualification to go to You Country to participate in the final decisive battle, yet they still wanted to join the Immortal Sect without hesitation.
The many Celestial Unrestricted experts could only feel helpless about this.
Immediately after, the final stage of choosing masters arrived.
Because Wen Ping had promised that the top ten could freely choose any Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert in the Immortal Sect as their master.
Amid the mountain-tremoring cheers of countless onlookers, the Sword Demon and Celestial String slowly rose to their feet and each delivered their acceptance speeches as they took on disciples.
"If you want to cultivate the Meridian Gate, you can take me as your master—I’ll definitely teach you with all my heart. If you want to switch to magic, I’ll follow your lead as well."
Celestial String’s speech was rather casual.
The Sword Demon was completely different.
He opened with ruthless words: "If you’re afraid of death, don’t enter my tutelage. If you don’t have the resolve to carve out a blood-soaked path in cultivation, then don’t choose me. I don’t take cowards as disciples, nor those greedy for life and fearful of death. That’s all I’ll say—decide for yourselves."
Under the gaze of the two, the remaining six, excluding the Immortal Sect members, fell into hesitation. They were hesitating, but countless others could only look on in envy.
Joining the Immortal Sect was already enough.
And they could even choose a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert as their master.
Most importantly, they actually had a choice!
In the end, among the six, four chose Celestial String, and the other two chose the Sword Demon. Wen Ping wasn’t the slightest bit surprised by this—after all, lunatics like the Sword Demon are indeed rare under heaven.
With the disciple-taking stage coming to an end, Si Haixian appeared in the center of the square and began announcing the roster for the campaign to the You Country Capital.
It was precisely the top hundred on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking.
Wen Ping had no interest in watching this and prepared to return to the Sect on the spot.
Before returning, when taking his leave of Prince Longyang, he did not forget to remind Prince Longyang to attend the upcoming auction at the Purple Treasure Pavilion.
Although the Immortal Sect was not short on White Crystal now, if White Crystal delivered itself to the door, there was no reason not to take it. More importantly, a King-Sealing Expert attending the auction was a selling point—putting it on the Immortal Sect Daily could absolutely serve as a headline, stirring up a storm across all of You Country.
"Sect Leader Wen, even if you didn’t say it, this king would still certainly attend." Prince Longyang replied with a smile, then looked around curiously.
Sikong Zhuxing still hadn’t appeared.
This Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking was almost over.
"Your Highness, I’ll head back to the Sect first." With that said, Wen Ping took his leave of Prince Longyang and returned to the Immortal Sect.
Prince Longyang didn’t try to stop him. After all, with his relationship with Wen Ping at this stage, it needed to be managed with a proper rhythm; he couldn’t rush things.
If he rushed,
it would only have the opposite effect.
How can one be impatient when doing great things?
After Wen Ping left, the Immortal Sect crowd also departed one after another.
But just as the Sword Demon was about to leave, Prince Longyang stopped him and then asked, "Pingxin Dao?"
The Sword Demon’s figure came to an abrupt halt.
His reply was the same as when he’d answered Si Haixian before.
"You’ve mistaken me for someone else."
However, Prince Longyang was all the more certain.
"So it really is you!"
Prince Longyang was not surprised, because he firmly believed his memory couldn’t be wrong.
Back then, the Six-star Influence, Vibrating Blade Sect of the Primordial Yang Domain, had been destroyed precisely because of Pingxin Dao, so he would never forget Pingxin Dao for the rest of his life.
Because Vibrating Blade Sect had been one of the powers under his command.
It had also been one of the means by which he controlled the Primordial Yang Domain.
The destruction of Vibrating Blade Sect directly led to the Primordial Yang Domain being out of his control for a long time, causing it to gradually fall behind in the struggle among the various kings, until the appearance of Wuqi King and his decision to stand in Prince Longyang’s camp brought about a turning point.
"Your Highness, you’ve got the wrong person. Now there is only the Sword Demon!" Of course the Sword Demon hadn’t let go of the past, but now he was more unwilling to bring it up.
Who hasn’t made mistakes in their youth?
He admitted that when he first entered the Sect, what he harbored in his heart was revenge on that demoness, revenge for her deceiving his feelings.
But now,
he no longer hated her.
Because he couldn’t be bothered to hate.
With that time, he might as well focus on cultivation, bringing his combat strength up to Si Haixian’s level, or even surpassing Si Haixian.
And then climb toward the Upper Realm!
Of course, he would definitely avenge his master’s death.
He would avenge the fellow disciples of Vibrating Blade Sect as well.
Just not now.
Seeing the Sword Demon about to leave, Prince Longyang didn’t stop him; he only slowly said, "Let me give you an unfortunate piece of news: that woman has not only entered the Demon Ancestor Realm, she’s now also the Princess Consort of King Yeze. If King Yeze ascends to the position of Sovereign, she’ll become the Mother of the Country of You Country."
Hearing this, the Sword Demon froze in place.
Princess Consort?
Mother of the Country?
Prince Longyang continued, "But you can relax—this king is the true future Sovereign of You Country."
"You want to win me over?" the Sword Demon shot back.
Prince Longyang smiled and said, "We’re already family as it is, so avenging you and avenging Vibrating Blade Sect is also this king’s responsibility."
"My mistakes, I’ll clean up myself. I don’t need anyone’s help." With that said, the Sword Demon immediately invoked the Teleportation Array and returned to the Immortal Sect with the disciples he had just taken.
Seeing this, Prince Longyang only gave a light smile, then turned to look at Yun Liao, who was just about to depart. He immediately ordered someone to deliver the Primordial Nether Order over.
