"Yes," Chu Lingwei knew that powerful cultivators had extremely keen senses, and Bei Chenfeng had already guessed her thoughts since she hadn't concealed her emotions.
Concealment was unnecessary in front of a strong cultivator.
Bei Chenfeng smiled and tossed the jade token in his hand to Chu Lingwei, allowing her to clearly see the details on it.
"See? This is the jade token for entering the Hengtian Secret Realm from the Renyan Sect. Others cannot use it."
If anyone could enter the secret realm just by obtaining a jade token, the entire Xuantian Continent would descend into chaos.
Entering the secret realm was an opportunity that the major sects fought for their disciples. They would never allow others to exploit loopholes. The jade tokens for each sect to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm possessed their sect's secret techniques, and only their disciples could activate the tokens to enter.
"Ah, I see." Disappointment flashed in Chu Lingwei's eyes. She had thought that simply obtaining a jade token to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm would suffice. It seemed she had overthought things.
Bei Chenfeng observed Chu Lingwei's expression, feeling slightly surprised. Did she not have the qualifications to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm?
Given her spiritual meridians alone, it was impossible for her not to.
Unless, she had no sect.
"It's not impossible for you to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm," Bei Chenfeng said, looking at Chu Lingwei with a hint of eagerness. If he could lure her to their academy, the old fellows there would be overjoyed.
"What method?" Chu Lingwei's eyes flickered, and she remained wary of Bei Chenfeng.
She always felt that this old monster who was pretending to be young was far from simple.
"If rogue cultivators wish to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm, they can go to Wangtian City in the southernmost part of the Xuantian Continent and participate in the competition. The top ten participants will receive jade tokens to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm."
There were people in the Xuantian Continent who did not wish to join sects, leading to the formation of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. The Rogue Cultivator Alliance was akin to an organization, but it did not impose many restrictions on rogue cultivators. Instead, it could issue missions for rogue cultivators to undertake independently, thereby achieving mutual success.
Not everyone in the world could cultivate spirits by joining a sect or academy. Those who needed to would go to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance to accept missions and earn more resources for themselves. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Concurrently, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, with its vast numbers, gradually gained the ability to contend for resources with the sects. They had ten spots in the Hengtian Secret Realm.
To gain the trust of rogue cultivators across the land, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance specifically organized a competition. Any spirit cultivator at the Lingdong stage or Linglun stage could participate. The top ten would gain entry to the Hengtian Secret Realm.
This competition attracted rogue cultivators from all over to gather in Wangtian City. The competition had already begun and would last for a month.
"However, by the time your pace reaches Wangtian City, the competition will already be over," Bei Chenfeng said, his tone shifting, successfully seeing the smile vanish from Chu Lingwei's face.
"Is there any other way?" Chu Lingwei frowned. The Hengtian Secret Realm required the joint activation of major sects and powerful cultivators. Even with her spatial power, she couldn't force her way in.
The only way to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm was to obtain a jade token for entry.
"Of course, you must obtain a jade token. There are no other methods," Bei Chenfeng shrugged. In the course of their conversation, he had rapidly scanned all the major sects and hidden families on the Xuantian Continent. While spiritual meridians of the Heavenly Water type existed, they didn't match the young girl in front of him.
This could only mean one thing: the young girl in front of him did not yet have a sect.
Chu Lingwei rolled her eyes internally. Of course, she knew she had to obtain a jade token.
It seemed the Hengtian Secret Realm was monopolized by the major sects of the Xuantian Continent, and she had no way to enter it through her own abilities.
Unless she joined a sect and obtained their jade token.
Thinking of her feud with Su Xianrou and others, she believed no sect would dare offend an entire sect for a disciple who had not yet grown.
She had to find a way.
"Actually, there is one more method. Do you want to hear it?" Bei Chenfeng saw that the time was right and cast his bait.
"I know," Chu Lingwei lowered her head slightly, her thoughts racing. She was already contemplating how to discreetly leave this place and distance herself from the person in front of her.
"You know?" Surprise flashed in Bei Chenfeng's eyes.
"Yes." Chu Lingwei bowed respectfully to Bei Chenfeng. "If I have no destiny to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm, this disciple will not force it."
Bei Chenfeng burst into laughter. This young girl was quite vigilant.
"How about this, you become my disciple, and I'll give you a jade token to enter the Hengtian Secret Realm. What do you say?" Bei Chenfeng had no intention of wasting more words. He stroked his chin and appraised Chu Lingwei. Her talent was excellent, and her spiritual meridians were even rarer, but her control over spiritual energy was unstable. To enter the perilous Hengtian Secret Realm, she needed more training.
At this moment, in Bei Chenfeng's mind, he had already regarded Chu Lingwei as his disciple.
He did not need anyone's agreement to take someone as his disciple.
"Senior..." Chu Lingwei's heart stirred. As expected, this person had already seen through her spiritual meridians. Just as she was about to refuse, her body lost strength, and in an instant, she was standing among clouds.
The mist around her constantly shifted shapes, creating an immortal realm.
No, she was currently standing on a dragon-like serpent that was about to transform into a dragon. It was speeding forward at a thousand miles per hour, and she felt no discomfort standing on it.
"Senior, may I ask where you are taking this disciple?"
She had been abducted. Chu Lingwei turned to Bei Chenfeng and bowed, asking.
"Good disciple, of course, we're returning to the academy." Bei Chenfeng's eyes were filled with smiles. At this moment, his face lacked the youthfulness of a boy; he appeared like an elder with a kind voice.
Chu Lingwei, "..." She didn't seem to have agreed to become his disciple or join his sect.
"Senior, I must respectfully decline. This disciple already has a sect," Chu Lingwei knew that concealing her identity in the Xuantian Continent, especially in front of a powerful cultivator, was a pipe dream.
Even if she joined a sect while hiding her identity now, they would eventually discover her true identity.
"Oh, tell me about it." Bei Chenfeng sat on the dragon-serpent's head, his voice calm, and gently stroked its head.
He made no other move, yet to Chu Lingwei, he seemed to be threatening her, as if he would have the dragon-serpent devour her if her answer was unsatisfactory.
Indeed, powerful cultivators were never easy to deal with.
"Replying to Senior, I am a disciple of the Xuanxin Sect, Chu Lingwei," Chu Lingwei stated truthfully.
Bei Chenfeng's stroking hand paused. Surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked up, scrutinized Chu Lingwei for a moment, and a gentle smile spread across his face.
"You have already been expelled from your sect. You are without a sect or a master, which is precisely why you should join my Spirit Cultivation Academy."
He hadn't expected the young girl in front of him to be the so-called useless daughter of Chu Ze, the Sect Master of the Xuanxin Sect. Bei Chenfeng clicked his tongue twice internally, no wonder...
"But I still have a deep-seated vengeance to repay," Chu Lingwei's eyes were filled with emotion. She wanted to avenge herself personally. If she joined another sect, it would cause conflict between the two factions.
