System's Super Sect Chapter 907 - 853: Ye Wuping Returns to the Red Leaf Sect

As they passed each other, the Red Leaf Sect genius sweeping the grounds hastily bowed his head, shifted dozens of steps to the side, turned his back to the woman on the stairs, and resumed sweeping as he departed, obviously aiming to evade her.

He intended to move at a slow pace, yet his feet quickened unwittingly until he ducked behind a thicket of trees, where he let out a long breath of relief.

The woman arched her brows faintly, thought for a second, then gave a mocking smile to herself and whispered as she walked on, "I must have seen wrong... Yang Ping of the Yang Family is an Inner Sect disciple of the Red Leaf Sect, how could he be here?"

Yang Ping had been the one she idolized since childhood.

In Water City, stories of Yang Ping had circulated far and wide in recent years.

For instance: A top talent among the Red Leaf Sect Inner Sect disciples!

And another: At just thirty-seven, he had reached the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!

Plus the buzz across the entire Red Domain—he was tipped to crack the top hundred in this Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking!

Thus, someone like him definitely shouldn’t appear at the Immortal Sect right now.

He ought to be honing himself at the Red Leaf Sect for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking.

As she mulled this over, another silhouette emerged beneath the Thousand Layers.

A man in his middle years!

His looks were unremarkable, downright average, but his eyes held a mesmerizing intensity, radiating unyielding determination. This was no ordinary stare, nor one from someone spared from life’s brutal trials.

He paused at the Thousand Layers’ edge, gazing about curiously like a wanderer off course. But when his sight fell on the staircase, his expression hardened with resolve, and he strode upward without hesitation.

"Finally..."

"The Immortal Sect lies in the Upper Realm; even those beasts, at their peak, can’t rival the Lower Realm. If they try to hunt me down again, it’s nothing but a fool’s fantasy!"

He muttered under his breath, ascending with firm resolve and budding hope.

Elder Qin Shan then showed up, guiding both to the dormitory zone. After outlining the Immortal Sect’s basic rules, they accepted without fuss that cultivation demanded White Crystal, though Qin Shan forbade them from starting right away.

The Sect Leader had a strategy in place!

For these 80 newcomers, time was scarce—just three short months. Cultivating outside with gimmicks like Sword Control Skill or Fire Control Skill would squander it, offering no real power boost in so brief a span.

"Stay put; the Sect Leader will come meet you himself." With that, Qin Shan departed the dormitory area.

Hearing the Sect Leader would grace them personally stirred anxiety mixed with reverence in both.

Immortal Sect Leader!

A future titan of the Red Domain was about to meet them face-to-face.

After a quarter-hour’s wait, Wen Ping arrived at the dormitory entrance.

His youth led them to mistake him for a disciple. As they geared up to inquire about the Sect Leader’s disposition, Wen Ping called out their names.

"Ye Wumei, Chen Qin!"

Dawning hit them instantly.

Sect Leader!

This was the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader!

"Greetings to the Sect Leader."

"Chen Qin has met the Sect Leader."

They dropped to one knee in salute.

Wen Ping offered a warm smile, "Welcome to the Immortal Sect!"

Stunned briefly, they felt flattered by the Sect Leader’s affable demeanor and smile, something utterly unexpected.

After a brief exchange of courteous words, their nervous hearts settled. They’d never dreamed the Immortal Sect Leader could be so welcoming. In a place like the Red Leaf Sect, the Sect Leader loomed aloof above all—such warmth for disciples was unheard of.

Not even a standard Five-star Influence operated this way!

"Ye Wumei, I know you yearn to shine before your kin and comrades, claiming ultimate glory for your forebears. A noble goal—only such drive on the cultivation path fuels relentless progress."

Wen Ping commended her.

Ye Wumei beamed with delight, "Sect Leader, you know all this! By the way, forgive my boldness... Can you truly get us into the top hundred of the Red Domain?"

"Certainly."

Wen Ping declared it with absolute certainty, filling Ye Wumei with ecstatic joy, as if a long-held dream had materialized.

Next, Wen Ping turned to Chen Qin.

Chen Qin possessed ironclad resolve and immense willpower, earning top marks in the Master’s Dao Maze for it.

Out of 100 possible points in willpower, Chen Qin notched 95.

Among the hundreds who’d tested lately, he boasted the highest willpower score.

Paired with his stellar talent, Wen Ping believed he could outpace most on the path ahead.

"Hatred can fuel your drive, but never let it dominate you." Wen Ping advised softly, eyes fixed on Chen Qin.

A flicker of astonishment crossed Chen Qin’s gaze.

The grudge he bore had stayed his secret, unspoken to any soul.

Did walls have ears, carrying whispers through?

Of course.

Boundless Tower.

The Immortal Sect’s Boundless Tower, famed for unveiling all truths.

Chen Qin forced a slight smile, replying, "Sect Leader, I understand!"

"Then follow me."

With those few words exchanged, Wen Ping headed out of the dormitory area, the pair scrambling after him.

The trio made directly for the Sect Task Hall!

Wen Ping gestured to the array of Sect tasks displayed, "Pick some tasks; once your Sect Task Points hit 100, you may cultivate. Given your skills, rushing it won’t take half a month to reach 100 points."

They froze in confusion, staring at the surrounding Sect tasks.

Wasn’t this about grooming them?

Why tasks first?

What was the Sect Leader’s intent?

Before they could voice questions, Wen Ping had vanished from the Sect Task Hall, leaving them to pick a task at random in a daze.

Exiting the Task Hall, Wen Ping located Qin Shan, briefed him on the scheme, and instructed him to usher the fresh recruits there.

And so, the initial eight who conquered the Master’s Dao Maze launched into daily task-grinding, barred from any cultivation zones in the sect.

Days slipped by, with the Immortal Daily relentlessly promoting Immortal Sect recruitment, drawing crowds to the Master’s Dao Maze.

Challengers now neared a thousand.

Alas, success remained elusive.

Just 12 more passed the Master’s Dao Maze, adding to the original 8 for a total of 20.

...

Red Leaf Sect.

Swish——

A lightning-fast form streaked into the Red Leaf Sect’s Inner Sect first.

Soon after, a Wing Race Demon God bore a dozen figures, alighting tightly behind into the Red Leaf Sect.

These were none other than Red Leaf Sect Leader Ye Wuping and his dozen Vice Sect Leaders.

Ye Wuping’s arrival quelled the Red Leaf Sect’s prior chaos, but the sudden loss of over fifty Earth Unrestricted Elders left them shorthanded, forcing the Vice Sect Leaders into the fray.

Within two days, the Red Leaf Sect regained its footing.

Under the Vice Sect Leaders’ push, fervor swept the entire Red Leaf Sect, flipping the mournful mood into blazing zeal. All now harbored deep enmity toward the Immortal Sect, viewing it as their archfoe.

Annihilating the Immortal Sect became the burning rallying cry for every member!

United in purpose, the Red Leaf Sect steadied once again.

Having secured the sect, Ye Wuping and the Vice Sect Leaders gathered at the Celestial Rank Fate, staring at its barren state.

Pieces of Four-Vortex Vortex Maps.

Pieces of Five-Vortex Dance Diagrams.

The Red Leaf Sect’s hoarded riches over decades vanished with those fallen eastern Vice Sect Leaders.

Ye Wuping’s rage boiled over as he commanded, "Alert every force under the Red Leaf Sect; after the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, we assemble and crush the Immortal Sect!"

Right now, the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking took precedence!

A Vice Sect Leader then added, "Sect Leader, even the Boundless disciples are gone!"

Ye Wuping snapped back in fury, "I know; no need to remind me!"

With that, he shot a fierce glare at the Vice Sect Leader who spoke.
