Chapter 609 – Wild Spirit Grand Meeting!
The elder sighed and said, “But Xuan Yi has quite an appetite! This time, we directly traded the divine fruit for a spot in the Asking Heart Realm. If we want him to take action this time, our Asking Heart Sect will have to offer him a reward that he finds worthy!”
“Isn’t it simple? Have you forgotten about the rewards of the Wild Spirit Grand Meeting?” Huyan Jing said.
The Wild Spirit Grand Meeting was held in the largest secret realm of the Wild Spirit District, known as the Ancient Wild Road, which had been passed down since ancient times.
The Ancient Wild Road offered unprecedented opportunities, but it was jointly controlled by the three major forces. Only ten people could enter each time, and the Wild Spirit Grand Meeting was held for this purpose.
The force that won the first place in the Wild Spirit Grand Meeting could have five spots; the second ranker could have three, and the third one could only have two.
The spots in the Wild Spirit Grand Meeting were always divided among the three major forces. The first place was always taken by the Great Ye Dynasty, while the rankings of the Asking Heart Sect and the Heavenly Martial Sect often changed.
Huyan Jing intended to invite Xuan Yi to help them secure a spot. The elder hesitated since the spots in the Ancient Wild Road were rare and valuable. “Are you sure it is a good idea to offer one of the spots to Xuan Yi?”
“Elder, we must not be short-sighted. Without Xuan Yi’s help, we will probably only get two spots, which will be detrimental to our sect in the long run!” Huyan Jing pointed out.
The Asking Heart Sect had suffered significant losses in recent years due to being suppressed by the Heavenly Martial Sect. As a result, they were in dire need of talented disciples.
The Elder finally agred. “Alright, let’s invite Xuan Yi. But we must make sure that the reward we offer is worth it.”
Thus, the Ask Heart Sect prepared to participate in the upcoming Wild Spirit Grand Meeting with the intention of securing a spot in the Ancient Wild Road.
The elder nodded in agreement. Upon hearing the elder’s approval, Hu Yanjing smiled and said, “Let’s wait for Xuan Yi to come out first. When he does, we can tell him about the Spirit Gathering Ceremony, and I believe he won’t refuse.”
Just as they finished speaking, the light gate that led to the Asking Heart Realm exploded, accompanied by a burst of radiant light.
Xuan Yi, Luo Qingyi, and Ouyang Han appeared in front of them.
“Greetings, Master!” Ouyang Han bowed respectfully to Hu Yanjing.
Hu Yanjing was pleased with Ouyang Han’s progress and said, “Well done, your aura has become even stronger. It won’t be long before you break through the early stage of the Divine Dao Realm (from the First to Third Palace).”
Hu Yanjing then turned her attention to Luo Qingyi and nodded. “You’ve also made great progress, breaking through to the second palace of the Divine Realm. Keep it up, and you’ll surpass your senior martial siblings in no time!”
Little did Hu Yanjing know, Luo Qingyi’s current strength was already enough to defeat Ouyang Han and Fang Hao.
Since Xuan Yi had seen the Divine Realm of the Western Continent, he discovered a serious problem with their cultivation. To ascend from the Spiritual Realm to the Divine Realm, nine Spiritual Bodies must merge into one and form a core that evolved into a Divine Palace in the Dantian.
The larger the Divine Palace, the stronger its power.
The Divine Palace was the most powerful offensive and defensive weapon, even more powerful than Divine Skills. According to Xuan Yi’s memory of the Thunder Emperor, the reason why the Divine Dao Realm could control the power of the domain was because of the Divine Palace.
However, the powerful Divine Realm cultivators of the Western Continent seemed to be completely ignorant of this. Xuan Yi had never seen any Divine Realm cultivator from the Western Continent use the Divine Palace to expand their domain.
Xuan Yi passed on the method of manipulating the Divine Palace to Luo Qingyi, as well as suitable Divine skills and cultivation techniques. With her exquisite physique, it was impossible for Ouyang Han and Fang Hao to defeat her.
Hu Yanjing was ecstatic to see such progress from her two disciples. She never expected this and her beautiful face was enchanted with a smile.
However, when Huyan Jing looked at Xuan Yi, her smile immediately faded and was replaced by a fierce shock.
Previously, she could feel the fluctuations of Xuan Yi’s spiritual power, but now she couldn’t sense anything. It was as if Xuan Yi had been an ordinary person without any cultivation from the beginning to the end.
The Grand Elder also noticed what Huyan Jing had discovered, and his gaze filled with disbelief and shock as he stared at Xuan Yi, who appeared to be just an ordinary person with no spiritual cultivation.
It was actually hard for a Divine realm cultivator to see through a Spirit realm cultivator, and if this were to be revealed to others, they would be amazed!
But, this was the reality!
“Have you broken through again?”
Huyan Jing’s tone was filled with shock. Ouyang Han had previously said that the first time he saw Xuan Yi, he was only at the third level of the Spirit Realm, but in just one month, he had advanced to the sixth level.
Now that he had broken through again, was he not afraid that his foundation would be unstable?
“No.”
Xuan Yi shook his head and did not say much. He had indeed not broken through, but the Asking Heart Realm had given him many surprises, such as his understanding of other grand paths. This was even more important than advancing his cultivation level.
“This year, Ye Han has caused trouble for your sect.”
Xuan Yi smiled. He could feel Ye Han’s aura, which was very strong. It was clear that he had been doing well during this period.
“It’s only natural. You have protected the disciples of our sect on Tianling Basin, so I am repaying your kindness.”
Huyan Jing smiled and then changed the subject. “Xuan Yi, there is something I would like to ask for your help with.”
“Please speak.”
Xuan Yi’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He already had a guess about Huyan Jing’s request. There were many people in the sect stronger than him, so if she was asking for his help, it was probably related to the competition among the younger generation.
“The Wild Spirit Grant Meeting is held every five years in the Wild Spirit area …” Huyan Jing explained.
“So, you want me to help the Asking Heart Sect win the Wild Spirit Grand Meeting?” Xuan Yi smiled faintly.
“Yes.” Huyan Jing nodded.
Xuan Yi shook his head. “I’m afraid I will have to disappoint you. Head Huyan. After this, I plan to take Qingyi out to experience and don’t have time to participate in the Wild Spirit Festival!”
His time was precious. If it weren’t for Luo Qingyi, he wouldn’t have stayed here for so long.
Upon hearing Xuan Yi’s refusal, Ouyang Han’s expression changed slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
Luo Qingyi also remained silent. She had not wanted to make things difficult for Xuan Yi before and would not do so now.
Regarding Xuan Yi’s refusal, Huyan Jing and the elder exchanged a glance, not surprised at all, but rather thought it was to be expected.
Although Xuan Yi had a good relationship with Luo Qingyi, and didn’t have much connection with the Asking Heart Sect. It was impossible for him to agree just based on their words.
“Xuan Yi, don’t be in such a hurry to refuse. It won’t hurt to hear the price I offer!” Huyan Jing smiled.
Xuan Yi’s eyebrows twitched. “Are you saying that the Asking Heart Sect can provide more valuable cultivation resources than the Asking Heart Realm?”
“The Asking Heart Sect indeed doesn’t have any cultivation resources more valuable than the Asking Heart Realm, but it doesn’t mean that there aren’t any in the Wild Spirit Area!” Huyan Jing said with a smile, trying to persuade him.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light appeared in Xuan Yi’s dark eyes, and he immediately understood Huyan Jing’s meaning. “Are you saying there are some at the Wild Spirit Festival?”
“Have you heard of the Ancient Wilderness Road?”
