System's Super Sect Chapter 938 - 881: Ye Wuping Awakens (Second Update)

While countless prodigies dove into challenging the Master’s Dao Maze, the count of successful passers surged dramatically, filling Wen Ping with immense satisfaction and ease.

This auction's influence surpassed all anticipations, slashing the intended recruitment duration from two full months to just one—a complete month trimmed away.

Merely five days following the auction's conclusion, a whopping 80 individuals were recruited triumphantly!

In total, 23 prodigies at the Mountain Suppression Realm joined the ranks.

Regarding Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm cultivators, the number reached an impressive 57.

Two months still remained before the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking kicked off. Upon securing these 80 recruits, the ten projections of the Master’s Dao Maze were promptly deactivated, with the Immortal Sect Daily proclaiming that very day—no more recruitment for the Immortal Sect.

Prodigies who failed to complete it or stumbled midway let out heavy sighs at the announcement, their hearts brimming with deep regret.

Truth be told, none of them truly believed they could clinch a top-80 spot, nor did they hold faith that the Immortal Sect would dominate the Red Domain's top position!

All they yearned for was the chance to acquire a Four-Vortex Vortex Map!

Lost in their regret, they overlooked the key reason: despite their superior talent and power over others, this very desire barred them from conquering the Master’s Dao Maze.

The Master’s Dao Maze sifts out every entrant harboring hidden intentions toward the Sect!

Unaware of this truth, they dismissed the less talented who passed the Master’s Dao Maze as bearers of extraordinary fortune.

Concurrently, with the 80 new members onboard, Wen Ping set about directing and monitoring their cultivation under the guidance of Elders Qin Shan, Yu Mo, and Yu Jiang.

True to form, newcomers kicked off with Sect tasks, advanced to the Nirvana House, and culminated in the Fifth World.

For those unfit for this path, Wen Ping redirected them to Wind Valley to delve into its Secret Realm, joining Chen Qin—the Immortal Sect's earliest recruit.

Notably, Wen Ping also dispatched a single person to Fa Yuan Valley.

At first, Wen Ping had no designs on exposing freshmen to Magic, knowing its mastery demanded far more than simplicity. Yet, when he learned this individual had astonishingly grasped Sword Control Skill in a mere half-hour, his stance shifted.

This cultivator went by Zhuge Tianming, originating from a four-star family clan freshly wiped out, forcing him into Loose Cultivator status.

Zhuge Tianming had only popped into Elder Qin Shan's dormitory zone for guidance, lingering half an hour. As he departed, spotting a disciple honing Sword Control Skill, he gave it a whirl—unleashing a jaw-dropping feat.

Zhuge Tianming ascended via sword control!

Mastering in half an hour a feat that demands at least a week's grind for most!

Wen Ping personally probed his spiritual power, deeming Zhuge Tianming's as utterly commonplace, mirroring the standard of typical Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm powerhouses—nothing extraordinary.

Undeniable proof that true geniuses walk among us.

Hence, right after finishing Sect tasks, Wen Ping hustled Zhuge Tianming off to Fa Yuan Valley to tackle the trial grounds freshly unearthed by Luo Mi.

The prospects within fit Zhuge Tianming like a glove.

If he triumphs.

Zhuge Tianming stands to claim a secret ultimate technique.

If defeat comes.

Zhuge Tianming risks only a handful of days lost.

After mulling gains against losses, Wen Ping settled on this choice.

...

Fa Yuan Valley.

Perched at a Floating Mountain's rim, Luo Mi clutched the Celestial Demon Sword from the Immortal Slaying World, positioned with Zhuge Tianming before the trial portal.

The portal stood as a stone door clamped shut!

Gazing upon the stone door, Luo Mi adopted a senior brother's demeanor and declared, "Tianming Junior, your senior uncovered this trial ground here and snagged a Four-Vortex Vortex Map reward. You know full well the Sect Leader’s vortex maps' priceless worth these days. Stronger than I am, you're primed to seize the trial rewards inside ahead of me. The Sect Leader vows that whoever claims the first trial reward from this place earns a Four-Vortex Vortex Map! You're short on White Crystals to buy one yourself, right? This is your shot—go grab it if you can!"

Zhuge Tianming gave a firm nod, strode forward deliberately, and heaved open the trial ground's stone door, unveiling the pitch-black, endless corridor lurking behind.

"Senior Brother Luo Mi, I’ll take point!"

With those words, Zhuge Tianming plunged inside ahead.

Meaning to blaze the trail for Luo Mi and safeguard him, Zhuge Tianming whipped around—only to behold Luo Mi's form vanished.

Far from fleeing, of course, Luo Mi hadn't bolted.

Instead, no path backward existed for Zhuge Tianming at all.

The entrance stone door had vanished completely, confronting him with an endless stone passageway shrouded in this world's impenetrable darkness, where he could barely see a yard ahead.

"Tianming Junior!"

Outside, Luo Mi jumped in shock as Zhuge Tianming abruptly disappeared, so he swiftly charged inside gripping the Celestial Demon Sword.

As the senior brother, safeguarding his junior brother was his responsibility!

With that in mind, he entirely overlooked his own Divine Profound Lower Realm cultivation.

He even forgot Zhuge Tianming possessed Half-Step Mountain Suppression prowess!

Who was truly shielding whom?

Who was actually getting in whose way?

…

Dormitory district.

With a grin, Wen Ping observed Yun Liao lounging beside the pool, soaking up the sun together with Da Gui and Xiao Gui, and questioned, "You're truly so carefree—how's your recovery going?"

"Full recovery will need a few more days; I owe it to the Sect Leader’s Spiritual Cuisine and Life Cigar, or I'd be stuck in bed much longer," Yun Liao let out a sigh.

Wen Ping went on, "The Extreme Force Sect folks assembled for you are on hold. After you grasp the Five Elements, go ahead and challenge him. With the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking two months away, he makes a perfect sparring partner beforehand."

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Mentioning those gathered foes ignited Yun Liao's fierce battle spirit.

Having barely survived that brush with death by his hand, how could Yun Liao resist seeking vengeance?

Patting Yun Liao's shoulder, Wen Ping offered guidance, "Two months remain, and you'll soon re-enter the Fifth World. Including next month's slot, two more chances await. Master the Four Elements of Magic first, and twenty years inside ought to perfect them. For time outside the Fifth World, besides Sect missions, remember to hit Sea Thought Pavilion. Boosting spiritual power always trumps honing magic skills!"

"I get it," Yun Liao affirmed with a nod.

He realized the Sect Leader's words today stemmed from great hopes pinned on him.

Red Domain's top spot was his target, and he vowed to seize it!

Yet he remained unaware that Wen Ping's advice reached beyond just Red Domain's first. Wen Ping never settled for merely that.

How vast truly is Red Domain?

Merely a tiny fraction of the Primordial Yang Domain.

Wen Ping always eyed the top of Primordial Yang Domain.

Even You Country's number one!

From the system tasks issued, such grand challenges were bound to emerge.

As Wen Ping was about to settle down for a chat with Yun Liao, the disciple assigned to watch Ye Wuping hurried up.

"Sect Leader, she's come to!"

"Waking after seven days unconscious—the Sword Demon hits with brutal force," Wen Ping commented, standing up from the dormitory zone.

Reaching the cell holding Ye Wuping, he found her standing against the wall, peering out at the world through a barred window.

After Wen Ping rapped on the railing, Ye Wuping turned slowly with a lazy air and demanded upon opening her mouth, "Why spare my life?"

Wen Ping responded calmly, "Our Sect Leader holds no desire to preserve you. If gratitude is due, direct it to the Sword Demon who let you live."

"Not killing me guarantees one day I'll slaughter you all and raze the Immortal Sect!" Ye Wuping's piercing stare locked onto Wen Ping, resembling a famished wolf poised to devour its quarry.

Unfazed by the threat, Wen Ping just laughed lightly before replying, "If mere words could end me, I'd be long dead thousands of times over. Still, one puzzle baffles me: why does Red Leaf Sect bar any force from founding a Sect on Star Sword Mountain? We shared no grudges, yet you sought to wipe out the Immortal Sect."

But Wen Ping's inquiry met only Ye Wuping's icy retort.

"No comment!"

Wen Ping shrugged in resignation, abruptly losing all urge to assign Ye Wuping tree-planting duties.

Tree planting proves far too merciful for someone like her!
