The Sect Leaders, Family Heads, or Elders of other Cultivation Sects and Cultivation Families all listened with stiff smiles to Li Junzhuo's seemingly complaining but actually boastful words.
If it weren't for Li Junzhuo's high seniority and cultivation, they would have long since lost their temper.
What kind of words were these?
What do you mean, she cultivated too fast, and you don't know what gift to give her?
Hehe, if not, transfer Wen Xiangjie to their Sect; their Sect has plenty of treasures to give Wen Xiangjie as a breakthrough gift!
A 15-year-old Golden Core True Person, how they wished this had appeared in their own Family!
At the Wen Family, Wen Xiangjie's parents, Wen Yanghong and Xie Qixuan, both personally rushed to the Taiyi Sect.
They originally wanted to hug their daughter and cry, telling her that her cultivation was hard, but looking at their daughter, who held an ice-cold little drink in her left hand, a white jade square cake in her right, and was covered in gifts from the Taiyi Sect's high-ranking officials, she clearly lived a pampered life, and the words 'hard work' simply couldn't be uttered.
After the lively congratulatory ceremony ended, several Sects and Cultivation Families that usually had a close relationship with the Taiyi Sect remained.
"Sect Leader Li, what exactly is the secret realm you mentioned in your message to my Sect Leader?" an Elder from the Qianyuan Sect asked first.
"For this matter, I'd like to ask Sect Leader Cheng of the Baiyu Sect to tell us," Li Junzhuo said.
Everyone's gaze fell simultaneously on Cheng Xiabing, who was sitting at the very end.
No wonder the Sect Leader of such an unknown small Sect could sit with them in this meeting hall; it turned out that he brought the news of this secret realm.
Being stared at by so many important figures, Cheng Xiabing's smile on her face became somewhat unnatural due to nervousness.
"Greetings, Seniors, I am Cheng Xiabing, the Sect Leader of the Baiyu Sect," Cheng Xiabing said with a slight tremor in her voice. "Our Baiyu Sect is located in Wutong River of Kangbei Province. I imagine you Seniors have also heard of Wutong River. It is said that in ancient times, the Phoenix Clan resided in Wutong River."
Everyone nodded.
"Some time ago, when my Baiyu Sect disciples were routinely patrolling near the Sect, they suddenly noticed a place where the temperature sharply rose, almost burning a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple of my Baiyu Sect to death."
"My disciples reported this matter to me, and I personally went to investigate, discovering that a secret realm had appeared out of thin air in the southwest of Wutong River. However, the entrance to the secret realm was tightly sealed, clearly not yet time for it to open."
"Such an important matter, I immediately reported it to the Taiyi Sect," Cheng Xiabing looked at the Taiyi Sect Leader.
The Taiyi Sect Leader nodded slightly.
"After receiving Sect Leader Cheng's message, I sent my personal disciples, Yichen and Ruyuan, to investigate. They found that the flames burning at the entrance of this secret realm are most likely the legendary Phoenix True Flame, meaning this secret realm is highly likely related to the Phoenix Clan."
"According to Yichen and Ruyuan's investigation, this secret realm has multiple spatial fluctuations, so the entrance at the Baiyu Sect is likely just one of them, and this secret realm should only allow those at the Golden Core stage and Nascent Soul Stage to enter."
"I invited all of you here today to ask if you have the intention to enter the secret realm?" the Sect Leader asked.
The Baiyu Sect's secret realm had caused quite a stir even before it opened, making it impossible to keep the information about it a secret. It was better to do a favor and invite these Sects and Cultivation Families, who were close to the Taiyi Sect, to explore the secret realm together.
A secret realm related to the Phoenix Clan, which Sect or Cultivation Family could refuse such a temptation?
"Thank you for the Taiyi Sect's invitation. My Qianyuan Sect would like several spots."
"My Water Cloud Sect also has several disciples who are just suitable."
"Count my Senluo Sect in. My Senluo Sect's disciples are willing to form an alliance with the Taiyi Sect's disciples to help each other."
Everyone in the meeting hall spoke up one after another.
"What if the Taiyi Sect doesn't let Wen Xiangjie go? After all, Wen Xiangjie has just broken through to the Golden Core stage, and the Taiyi Sect protects Wen Xiangjie like the apple of their eye, so they might not be willing to let her take risks."
Inside the Changle Peak meeting hall of the Taiyi Sect, many powerful figures were holding a meeting.
Meanwhile, in a remote small peak within the Taiyi Sect, the assembled Family members were also holding a meeting.
"This secret realm is related to the Phoenix Clan. The more the Taiyi Sect values Wen Xiangjie, the less likely it is that they won't let Wen Xiangjie go," said Lin Zhaoyuan, the Family disciple who came with the Baiyu Sect Leader.
With Lin Zhaoyuan's talent, after joining the Baiyu Sect, he immediately became Cheng Xiabing's personal disciple and was personally taught by Cheng Xiabing.
For this secret realm matter, Cheng Xiabing naturally revealed everything to Lin Zhaoyuan. He even regretted that this secret realm came too early; it would have been better if it had come when Lin Zhaoyuan was in the Nascent Soul Stage.
After these Family disciples gathered, they learned that Zhou Yunchang and a collateral branch disciple of the Lin Family had already fallen victim to Wen Xiangjie, and that all of their identities had likely been grasped by Wen Xiangjie. They all felt as if a great enemy was upon them, and everyone was in danger.
"We cannot let Wen Xiangjie continue to develop. One step fast, every step fast. Her initial stats must be extremely high. If this continues, we will only be left further and further behind by her. With our current identities and cultivation, we can only be molded and kneaded by her," Zhou Yibin said with a stern face.
Everyone nodded in silence, indicating their agreement with Zhou Yibin's words.
Before entering the game instance, who would have thought that after entering the game instance, they would be the ones at a disadvantage, constantly facing danger, while Wen Xiangjie had become the person who could take their lives at any time?
"I have some good news," Lin Zhaoyuan spoke, breaking the somewhat stagnant atmosphere.
"The other entrances connected to this secret realm of the Baiyu Sect very likely include the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm!"
The Cultivation World, the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm stand in a three-way confrontation. The Cultivation World is slightly stronger, but it cannot completely suppress the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm.
The three realms are not mortal enemies, but they have constant friction in order to compete for more cultivation resources.
The emergence of a prodigy like Wen Xiangjie in the Cultivation World is definitely something the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm do not wish to see.
Wen Xiangjie is only at the Golden Core stage and should not be able to break through again in a short period. If she encounters Nascent Soul powerhouses from the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm...
Everyone present's eyes lit up.
"Let me tell you another piece of good news. I accidentally met a bounty killer from the Demon Realm, who is at the Nascent Soul Stage. As long as you commission him to kill Cultivators or demons, he can take the job at a low price," Lin Zhaoyuan carefully took out a long, black needle from his storage pouch. "As long as Wen Xiangjie's aura is recorded on this long needle, he will be able to find Wen Xiangjie in the secret realm."
"However, the other party is a Nascent Soul Stage powerful figure after all. Even if he takes the job at a low price, the cost of commissioning him is not small. Everyone, how about we pool our resources?" Lin Zhaoyuan was the first to take out his storage pouch: "These are all my possessions."
