Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 439 - 426

Chapter 439: 426 Chapter 439: 426 Rustle, rustle.

Shen Yi led the three of them to appear outside the Nanyang Relief.

As they stepped out of the light screen, they saw the suspended treasure ship hovering in front of them, about thirty zhang in length, completely black in color, with Pure Moon patterns painted on its surface.

“Sect Master of Nanyang, I am an executive of the Pure Moon Sect, sent by the elders to pick you up,” said the woman at the bow of the ship.

She was the only one standing there, a woman dressed in dark blue robes, looking rather young and quite beautiful.

“Thank you for your troubles,” replied Shen Yi with a light nod of his chin, showing that the elders of the Pure Moon Sect had even considered the fact that, not having yet reached the level of Returned Void, he could not travel to the Pure Moon Sect himself.

This was a highly accommodating gesture for a group of Nanyang Sect natives who had just stepped into this world.

“…”

Li Qingfeng stroked his chin, looking at the woman, and saw although she addressed him as Sect Master, she showed no intention of coming forward to greet them; instead, she looked down at Shen Yi with a slight coldness on her face, which was not quite arrogant, but distant.

He withdrew his gaze and remained silent.

Under Shen Yi’s lead, the three stepped onto the Qingyue Treasure Ship.

“Please,” the woman nodded in response, and then, the surrounding mist and clouds began to blur.

In less than the time it takes an incense to burn.

The clouds dispersed, revealing a clear expanse.

Shen Yi looked down from the ship and saw that the platform atop the mountain peak resembled that of the Nanyang Sect in its entirety, with only minor differences like the Nanyang Relief being replaced by the Qingyue Bas-relief.

It seemed as if the Nan Hong Seven Sons had not allied recently but were united right from the founding of the sect.

“This way, please,” said the executive, gesturing with her hand before stepping onto the relief and merging directly into the light screen.

“Wow, their Sect Gate Grand Array is always active,” gasped Xu Qing’er in amazement.

Li Qingfeng also felt sentimental, “It seems that the Nan Hong Seven Sons are indeed among the top forces even on the outside.”

Only real powers were not afraid of outsiders’ invasions, to the point of not even bothering to station a disciple at the gate; such confidence was immense.

“…”

Shen Yi felt like these two fools were referencing him.

Just when he left, he had specifically checked if the formation was properly closed.

What’s the use of putting up such pretenses.

Safety comes first, don’t you understand?

Sect Master Shen, with a tinge of sourness, stepped into the formation on the relief.

In an instant.

The four of them appeared before a majestic archway.

The woman in the dark blue robes, the executive, was quietly waiting. She stored the treasure ship and dismissed the curious disciples around with her gaze before pointing to the archway, “These are all Qi Cultivating Disciples, too young and undisciplined. Please, follow me to the inner sect.”

“I always feel like there’s not much difference from our place,” Li Qingfeng quietly complained to Tong Xin’chuan through a message.

“Our place doesn’t have so many Qi Cultivating Disciples,” Tong Xin’chuan replied without looking sideways, following Shen Yi closely. His gaze swept around, noting people ranging from the Primordial Extreme Boundary to the Jade Liquid Boundary, cultivations varying vastly, but all wearing the same clothes, walking together, playing and frolicking without any barriers.

This was hard to imagine within the Nanyang Sect.

After entering the inner sect.

The scene before them was even more astonishing.

They had just stepped in when they encountered an incredibly intimidating cultivator.

The Transcendent Cultivator, whose aura was not weaker than their master’s, actually performed a courteous bow, “Executive Liu.”

The woman’s face softened, “I’m pressed with important matters and will not be able to chat with my junior brother.”

The Returned Void Cultivator took a curious glance at the group but did not ask further and directly vanished between the archways.

After he left.

Executive Liu walked on while turning to introduce to Shen Yi, “This is the tradition of the Nan Hong Seven Sons; Sect Master might consider it. Qi Cultivating Disciples are usually in the outer sect. Transcendent Cultivators then qualify to enter the inner sect.”

“If one reaches the third layer of Return to Void, they can leave the inner sect.”

“One with average aptitude, like myself, could take up an executive position, and if given the chance to break through to the sixth layer of Returned Void or above in the future, they might compete for an outer sect elder spot.”

“As for those with exceptional aptitude, being noticed by an elder allows them to become Direct Disciples.”

At this point, a hint of envy appeared on Executive Liu’s face, “They can focus on their cultivation without worrying about sect affairs. If one day they break through the twelfth layer of Returned Void and ascend to the White Jade Capital, they can qualify to inherit a Dao Plate and become a Sect Elder.”

“As for Sect Master…”

Executive Liu’s voice wavered slightly, as if recalling something, and she smiled awkwardly before deftly moving on without further discussion.

Shen Yi didn’t press the matter.

Clearly, in such a sect, the title of Sect Master served less as a position and more as an incarnation of the “Dao.”

Because of Union Dao, one could be the Sect Master.

Given his current Boundary, he was about on the same level as the cultivator who had just bowed to the executive.

It appeared that, despite both being of Returned Void, the gap in strength was probably larger than he had imagined.

The third and sixth layers, both, were milestones.

Following this tradition, reaching the third layer of Returned Void could qualify for an executive position, probably indicating an initial ability to protect oneself while traveling outside the sect.

“So it seems, Master did indeed get a bargain,” sighed Li Qingfeng, holding no grudge but feeling happy for Ye Wenxuan instead.

After all, on the path of cultivation, there was never an obligation for anyone to be responsible for others.

It was merely divergent paths, but the grace of imparting the Dao could not be forgotten.

“Sect Master Shen certainly suffered a big loss,” commented Tong Xin’chuan indifferently, glancing over. Given the situation at the time, Shen Yi could have at least landed a position as a Direct Disciple if he was willing to negotiate a bit more; there was no need to fuss around with them at the struggling Nanyang Sect.
