Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Heavenly Dao Sect, Xiao Yan!

That day, several of Su Bai’s direct disciples gathered together.

“Junior Brother Xiao Yan, this Three-Year Pact is a big deal for you. It concerns whether your Dao heart will flow smoothly in the future. Let us accompany you to challenge the Yuntian Sect!” Zhuge Feng proposed. By now, their strength had skyrocketed—they were no longer the ones who could be easily bullied as before!

“This is a trivial matter; there’s no need to trouble Master or Seniors Huo and Bai. The few of us will be enough!” Xiao Lingxi also spoke up, and the others nodded in agreement. As members of the same sect, their bonds had long grown as close as family.

When one person has trouble, everyone lends a hand!

“All right, then let’s go face this challenge together!” Xiao Yan smiled casually.

But when he turned around, he couldn’t help but feel a sudden prick of emotion in his nose.

At one point, he had been the “waste” everyone mocked—a useless nobody who would have been kicked out long ago if not for his good father!

Back then, who would have cared about him like this?

“Senior Brother Xiao Yan, I truly admire you for being willing to give up on the Three-Year Pact even before joining the Heavenly Dao Sect,” Han Feiyu said sincerely.

With his personality, he would definitely have just kept his head down to train, only making a move once he was strong enough to take on the entire Yuntian Sect alone.

That’s right—not just surpassing Liu Yanran, but having the power to dominate the entire Yuntian Sect!

Without absolute certainty, he would keep hiding out!

After all, without some real power inside the Yuntian Sect, even if he defeated Liu Yanran, what would that matter?

The Yuntian Sect still had other strong fighters. What if he suddenly “vanished without a trace”?

“Heh, back then, when I said those words, I was just young and foolish.”Xiao Yan sighed.

Looking back now, he realized just how immature he had been back then, unable to face reality.

Defeat Liu Yanran in three years?

Before the Heavenly Dao Sect appeared, that was simply impossible!

Liu Yanran was a natural prodigy, and with the full support of the Yuntian Sect, she was already at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer three years ago and would at least have reached Foundation Establishment by then.

And he was nothing but a waste!

Even if he wasn’t a waste and could train normally, was it realistic to reach Foundation Establishment within three years?

And even if he did, could he defeat a true disciple of the Yuntian Sect?

With the strength of the Xiao Family, what right did he have to surpass Lingxiao’s Foundation Establishment record in the Lingxiao Sect?

What right did he have to surpass Liu Yanran, who was being cultivated with all of Yuntian Sect’s resources?

It was just that at the time, he hadn’t thought much about it. His youthful passion had spoken without restraint. Looking back now, he felt he had been… a bit too young!

“Many things, if you don’t try, how will you know you can’t?” Mu Lingxian also spoke up.

Speaking of the past, her experience was undoubtedly even more tragic.

If you don’t try, then it definitely won’t work!

If you try—even if it’s difficult—there’s still a chance, isn’t there?

“Precisely because we’re young, we have more drive, and we have our own paths.”

“If we don’t have that drive in our youth, then what are we cultivating immortality for?”

Zhao Tianlong, usually silent and reserved, couldn’t help but chime in. Although taciturn, he was absolutely a young man with great ambition!

“Also, Junior Sister Qingyao—her sister was taken by a mysterious person. When the time comes, we must find Qingyao’s sister and bring her back!” Xiao Lingxi said with a smile as she looked at Ye Qingyao.

Among all the senior and junior brothers and sisters, Ye Qingyao had the lowest talent and was the last to progress in cultivation.

But she was also the most hardworking!

She just didn’t talk much, so her presence often went unnoticed.

“It’s precisely because we’re young that we don’t know our own limits—we want to change this world.”

A voice rang out, surprising everyone instantly.

They turned around to see Su Bai, who had appeared behind them without anyone noticing.

“Disciple greets Master!”

Everyone hurriedly bowed respectfully and asked, “Master, why have you come?”

Su Bai smiled faintly. “I’m still young and wanted to join the fun.”

Speaking of which, Su Bai was only twenty-one years old this year!

Even without the two thousand years of lifespan typical of those in the Divine Transformation Realm, he was still incredibly young by mortal standards!

“Then let’s change this world together!”

Xiao Lingxi stretched out her hand, and the other disciples followed suit, stacking their hands together.

“We will change this world!”

“Ha ha ha ha, we are still young!”

“Not knowing our limits!”

They called out passionately, as if to tell the heavens that they would never admit defeat!

At the same time, the Yuntian Sect had already made all the necessary preparations.

On the grand square, all the disciples of the Yuntian Sect stood quietly on both sides, waiting for the fate of their sect.

No one was optimistic about the upcoming battle between their Young Sect Master and the Heavenly Dao Sect’s personally instructed disciple.

That was a personally trained disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, after all!

Such a peerless genius—how could they, a small sect, possibly compare?

Even the elders all sighed one after another—not for their own sect’s sake, but because yet again someone had failed the Heavenly Dao Sect’s assessment.

“Sect Master, where is Liu Yanran? Has she not emerged from seclusion yet?”

The Great Elder of Yuntian Sect scanned the crowd but did not spot Liu Yanran’s figure. As one of today’s protagonists, her absence immediately drew a frown as his gaze fell on Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi sighed softly, “Yanran received the inheritance from the Yuntian Sect’s First Generation Sect Master two years ago. She has been in seclusion for over two years and hasn’t emerged yet.”

“Foolish! When the people from the Heavenly Dao Sect arrive later, she still hasn’t come out? What is she playing at?”

“If the Heavenly Dao Sect is displeased, I’m afraid the Yuntian Sect might no longer have any reason to exist!”

Hearing Yun Zhi’s words, the Great Elder’s anger flared uncontrollably.

“Great Elder, please remain calm. Yanran should be close to emerging. She has been preparing all along for today’s challenge,” Yun Zhi said with a bitter smile.

“Hmph! I hope so!” The Great Elder snorted coldly and fell silent.

“Seclusion? Old man here, I’ve gone into seclusion for just a few months and already everything’s changed. Even mortals can now use the teleportation formation. Back in my day, going into seclusion for a hundred years didn’t bring much change at all!”

“Two years in seclusion… I’m worried she doesn’t understand the current state of the world and might offend the Heavenly Dao Sect when they arrive…”

An elder spoke quietly, his face showing concern.

In this era of rapid progress, even a year of seclusion can feel like falling behind an entire generation!

“Boom!”

Suddenly, at the edge of the square, a figure appeared. He slammed the weapon he held into the ground, causing the plaza itself to tremble.

At the same time, a loud, commanding voice rang out:

“Here to honor the Three-Year Pact.”

“Heavenly Dao Sect, Xiao Yan!”
