After coming out of his father’s residence, Li Ran’s mind was filled with emotions.
“Mo Bao…”
The Divine Sect, Mo Bao, and the pugilistic world where powerhouses were everywhere. These words appeared in Li Ran’s mind, stirring up a wave of shock in his heart.
Li Ran was moved.
Compared to the Divine Sect, he wanted to meet that legendary Body Cultivator powerhouse, that legendary figure with a great reputation, that figure who had cultivated on the path of Body for tens of thousands of years.
From Li Ran’s father’s words, Mo Bao seemed to be one of the first batch of Soul Warriors to start Body Cultivation.
Someone from the first batch of people to start Body Cultivation had become the Body Cultivator that others spoke of with great reputation!
‘I must meet that senior no matter what.
‘After many years of settling down, is Mo Bao’s strength really as rumored in the outside world, or is he a Soul King?’
Li Ran wanted to see it with his own eyes. Since his father intended to send him to the Divine Sect, why not make good use of this opportunity?
In fact, in the Pure Wind Clan, nobody could teach him anything new about Body Cultivation anymore. It was difficult for him to make any new progress here.
He did not rely entirely on Body Cultivation but if his strength could not be increased, he could not hunt high-level monsters and fuse Soul Rings.
‘As long as my strength increases quickly, I’ll have more confidence to hunt high-level monsters and continue to complete my Soul Ring fusion plan. I only have one Soul Ring, so I have to make it older than others. 10,000 years is far from enough.’
In the Pure Wind Clan, Li Ran rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with monsters that were more than 10,000 years old. That time in the Desolate Millet Mountain Range was definitely an unexpected harvest.
If he could become a disciple of Mo Bao and had such a Soul King as his master, would it not be a matter of minutes for him to hunt monsters that were more than 10,000 years old?
‘I must become a disciple of the Divine Sect. Father said that he has a way to send me to the Divine Sect but it’s still best to make two preparations. If I can become a disciple of the Divine Sect with my own ability, I can save a favor.’
In just a short while, Li Ran had made a plan in his heart. He was waiting for the day when the Divine Sect would recruit disciples.
…..
The Pure Wind Clan.
In the side hall.
This was the residence of the first elder.
At this moment, the aura in the hall fluctuated chaotically.
A youth looked at an elder in the hall. Due to his agitation, the elder’s face was flushed red.
“Master, this matter is so important. Why didn’t you tell me before?”
The youth who spoke was Li Rui.
On this day, the first elder had asked him to come to the side hall to explain something to him. He had never expected that it was to talk about the position of the chief.
“Rui’er, your aptitude is better than Li Ran’s. You’ve even awakened seven Soul Rings. In the future, you’ll be a world-renowned powerhouse for sure and become more powerful than me.”
The first elder sighed internally. The position of the next chief should belong to his disciple. Now that he had to hand it over to Li Ran, how could he feel good?
“Some time ago, the clan elders and the chief decided to gather. I wanted to tell you about it but… I was afraid it would affect your breakthrough, so I delayed it until now.”
Now that Li Rui had successfully broken through to a Soul Cultivator, the elder did not have any other worries. That was why he told him about the chief’s position.
“Why Li Ran? What part of me can’t compare to that good-for-nothing?”
The youth’s delicate and handsome face looked ferocious. It no longer had the gentleness in front of outsiders.
“You don’t have to compare yourself to that trash. He’s only able to become the next chief because his good father was helping him.
“He said that the Pure Wind Clan is a clan of Body Cultivation and that the Body Cultivation disciples should inherit the position of the chief. He’s so sanctimonious!”
The first elder was unwilling. With just a few words, he became furious and indignant.
“Master, I’m unwilling. Why should I give the position of the chief to such trash? No, I want to find the chief and the elders in the clan and ask them clearly!”
After saying this, Li Rui was about to leave. No matter how rational he appeared to the outside world, he was just an impulsive youth.
“Rui’er, don’t be rash!”
The first elder shouted at him. His expression was not very good, and it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Li Rui’s actions.
“If you continue to argue with them, not only will you not be able to change anything, but you’ll also leave other evidence for those who have ulterior motives to use against you!
“Besides, the clan elders have always been unpredictable and eccentric. If you provoke them, it’ll be hard to say whether you can continue to stay in the clan!”
Li Rui was still angry when he heard this, but he eventually calmed down.
His master was right. He could not act rashly, especially at this critical moment.
The Divine Sect was coming to recruit new disciples.
“Rui’er, listen to me. Don’t go against Li Ran on the surface. It’s just the position of the chief. When you join the Divine Sect, focus on cultivating for a few years and strive to get a spot in that mysterious sect. That will be the key for you to surpass others!”
The first elder looked past it. Could the Pure Wind Clan compare to the Divine Sect?
As long as Li Rui joined the mysterious sect and enjoyed a certain reputation in the Azure Dragon Continent, when the time came, the Heaven-Worshipping Talisman in Li Xun’s hands would find the right opportunity to strike. Would it not fall into his hands in the end?
Now was definitely not the time to alert the enemy. The first elder had waited for so many years. Why would he be anxious for such a short period?
It would be just a few years!
“The mysterious sect? Master, what does that mean?”
Li Rui was puzzled by the first elder’s words. In the past, he had never heard of the existence of the mysterious sect from his master.
‘Is it even more powerful than the Divine Sect?’
“The Falling Clouds Sect is a well-deserved large sect on the Azure Dragon Continent. It’s located at the Nine Stars Tomb Boundary. The legendary mountain ranges like the Southern Desolate Demonic Region and the Northern Sea Devilish Abyss are all located in that region.”
A look of longing appeared on the first elder’s weathered face. That mysterious Nine Stars Tomb Boundary had given birth to too many legendary figures. Even Soul Monarchs, who were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in the Yanjiu Prefecture, could not be ranked among the ranks in the Nine Stars Tomb Boundary and were at most ordinary powerhouses.
In that region, Soul Monarchs died every day. It was common for a small organization to give birth to a Soul Monarch. It was not worth mentioning.
The Falling Clouds Sect was one of the super large sects that stood in the Nine Stars Tomb Boundary. They had a strong foundation. The world-famous Supreme Martial Gods on the Azure Dragon Continent were most likely from the Falling Clouds Sect.
It was rumored that the Falling Clouds Sect had a peerless secret technique that could help one break through and become a Soul God or even a Supreme Martial God!
“The Falling Clouds Sect… What’s the relationship between them and the Divine Sect?”
Li Rui’s eyes were filled with astonishment. He had never thought that he would be so close to such a legendary sect, but it seemed like he was very far away from it.
“The Divine Sect can recommend one or two disciples to join the Falling Clouds Sect every year.
“Otherwise, where do you think those powerhouses from the Divine Sect have gone to?”
The first elder exposed everything in a single sentence. He had paid a huge price to obtain this shocking news.
“Master, what should I do?”
When Li Rui heard his master talk about the Falling Clouds Sect and that mysterious region that was filled with powerhouses from all walks of life, his heart began to yearn for it.
Not only did he want to enter the Divine Sect, but he also wanted to become one of the few disciples who entered the Falling Clouds Sect every year. The position would be his!
“With your conditions, entering the Divine Sect won’t be a problem. After you successfully enter the Divine Sect, I’ll tell you some methods to increase your strength. I’ll ensure that you can grow quickly in a short period and successfully obtain that spot. Try to enter the Falling Clouds Sect next year!”
The first elder was gratified. He did not have much hope left. Even if there were other ways to increase his strength, he had only awakened three Soul Rings. He knew that any other methods would be futile!
Li Rui was different. He had awakened seven Soul Rings and was blessed by the heavens. With the augmentation of that secret technique, he would definitely be a heaven-defying existence!
“Don’t ask what it is for the time being. This must be kept a secret. Don’t tell anyone!”
When the first elder said this, his expression was solemn. If the secret technique was spread outside, the consequences would be devastating..
