nAfter Xuan Yi took Bai Weiwei to the back mountain, the people at the assembly had different expressions on their faces.

n

n

nMost of them looked envious.

n

n

nAmong them, He Long and Yang Mu looked especially shocked and disappointed.

n

n

nThe two of them had come to this assembly in the hope of becoming personal disciples of Elder Xuan. Now, they could only watch helplessly as an outer sect disciple whose strength was far inferior to theirs became Xuan Yi’s personal disciple. How could they not be disappointed?

n

n

nThe female disciples felt especially jealous of Bai Weiwei.

n

n

nThis was because Elder Xuan Yi had carried Bai Weiwei away in his arms, and she had actually fainted.

n

n

nThis kind of scene was something that they did not even dare to dream about. However, it had happened before their eyes. Moreover, Bai Weiwei’s strength and talent were ranked at the bottom. How could they not be jealous?

n

n

nOn the practice field, Ma Wuliang stood there in fury. However, he could not show it.

n

n

nJust now, he had been suppressed by Xuan Yi’s aura and got severe internal injuries. Moreover, in front of so many people, he could not even resist Xuan Yi’s aura. He would definitely become a joke in the entire south domain.

n

n

nThe sect master just smiled and shook his head helplessly. After all, it wasn’t the first time that Xuan Yi did such an outrageous thing. What ability did he have to stop Xuan Yi? He could only let him be.

n

n

nAfter Xuan Yi’s departure, the third test progressed very quickly.

n

n

nAfter all, everyone had come here in the hope of becoming Elder Xuan’s personal disciple.

n

n

nNow that Elder Xuan was no longer around, it was better to end it quickly.

n

n

nIt was better to go back and cultivate hard, waiting for the next time when Elder Xuan took in a disciple.

n

n

nAfter the third test, the Sword Worship Assembly ended.

n

n

nHe Long and Yang Mu became the personal disciples of two elders of the sect, while Ma Liang became the personal disciple of Elder Ma.

n

n

nWhen the assembly ended, Li Changqing and Wang Ye exchanged a glance, with a smile in their eyes.

n

n

nAfter all, the disciples of the Profound Sword Sect this year were all very ordinary. It was a great thing for what they were going to say next.

n

n

nThey said to Qing Xuzi, “We’re filled with admiration after watching the Sword Worship Assembly. I wonder if you are ready to open the Sage Mystic Realm.”

n

n

n“Yes, Old Qing, we agreed on it a few years ago and you can’t go back on your words. None of us can open this mystic realm, even if we work together, unless we have the approval of your Profound Sword Sect.”

n

n

n“That’s right, fellow Daoist Qing Xuzi. We already missed the opportunity to open the mystic realm last time. This time, don’t try to shirk your responsibility,” said the sect masters of the other great sects.

n

n

nAlthough Qing Xuzi had guessed their purpose, he was still displeased.

n

n

nHow could he not know about this Sage Mystic Realm?

n

n

nThe origin of this mystic realm was closely related to the Profound Sword Sect.

n

n

nIn the past, the Profound Sword Sect had produced a master of the Noble King Realm. His name was Li Wendao, and he was the founder of the Profound Sword Sect. Unlike Qing Xuzi, Li Wendao had incredible talent. At his peak, he reached the peak of the ninth level of the Noble King Realm!

n

n

nWith this strength, he was unrivalled in the south domain of that time.

n

n

nThe entire south domain was in his control back then. No one in the region dared to challenge the Profound Sword Sect or disobey its orders.

n

n

nHowever, because Li Wendao’s heart was set on the Dao, his goal wasn’t the southern domain. Instead, he wanted to break through to a higher realm. So he went to a larger region.

n

n

nUnfortunately, when Li Wendao returned to the south domain, not only did he fail to break through, he was on the verge of death.

n

n

nBecause he had been gone for hundreds of years, the Profound Sword Sect was no longer the same as it had been when he had left.

n

n

nDifferent cultivation methods, different forces, and different beliefs had long divided the sect into countless smaller sects.

n

n

nThe foundation that he had worked so hard to build was destroyed just like that.

n

n

nHe was not pleased.

n

n

nTherefore, before he died, he made a dying wish.

n

n

nWhoever could obtain his inheritance and pass the test he set up would be the leader of the south region.

n

n

nIn the mystic realm he left behind, other than countless treasures, there was one thing that all the sect leaders coveted. That was his notes of how to enter the Noble King Realm. There were also rumors that Li Wendao had long found the secret to advance from the Noble King Realm, given enough time, he would be able to reach the Sage Realm. However, he was pursued by his enemies, so he did not have time to cultivate. He could only leave it behind as his inheritance.

n

n

nPeople named this mystic realm after Sage Li, the respectful title people gave to him.

n

n

nIt was commonly known as the Sage Mystic Realm!

n

n

nIn order for the person who received his inheritance to gain people’s recognition, Li Wendao had set up a rule.

n

n

nThis mystic realm could only be entered by young geniuses under the age of 30.

n

n

nAfter all, the purpose was to select the highest ruler of the south domain.

n

n

nIf a person had to make up for the lack of talent with cultivation, then he was not qualified to be the ruler.

n

n

nIn the Sage Mystic Realm, there were countless divine weapons, peerless elixirs, powerful cultivation techniques, and even the notes of how to reach the Noble King Realm!

n

n

nOne had to know that there were only a few Noble King Realm masters in the entire south domain. Every one of them was a leader of the south domain and a power to block the myriad alien races from the outer region!

n

n

nThis secret of reaching the noble king realm was coveted by many sect masters in the south domain.

n

n

nThis was because they had been stuck in the Sect Master Realm for God knows how many years.

n

n

nIf their strength could not improve, they would die. How could they not be anxious?

n

n

nNot to mention the biggest temptation: the leadership of the entire south domain.

n

n

nTherefore, every time a peerless genius appeared in one of the top 100 sects, it would definitely cause a stir in the entire south domain.

n

n

nThis time, when the Heaven Array Sect and the Myriad Beast Sect heard about the Sword Worship Assembly, they brought their disciples over to take a look at the situation.

n

n

nIn the end, they found the Profound Sword Sect’s disciples under the age of 30 were a bunch of trash.

n

n

nThis made them extremely excited.

n

n

nHow could Qing Xuzi not know the purpose of these top 100 sects?

n

n

nThis was also the reason why he placed so much importance on Xuan Yi. He hoped that he could choose a disciple with excellent talent to participate in this mystic realm expedition.

n

n

nBut in the end…

n

n

nQing Xuzi frowned, feeling extremely frustrated.

n

n

nHe had stayed in the Sect Master Realm for too long, and his heart yearned for the Noble King Realm.

n

n

nMore importantly, after Li Wendao’s death, the Profound Sword Sect was nothing more than a shell. Only after obtaining the inheritance of the founder would it be a truly powerful and unified sect.

n

n

nAs the sect master, how could Qing Xuzi not want the Profound Sword Sect to regain its glory?

n

n

nHe had refused these two people last time. But these two old geezers had told all the top 100 sects about this mystic realm and they were exerting pressure on him together.

n

n

nIt seemed like he had to agree this time.

n

n

nJust as he was feeling extremely depressed, a white-robed figure with incredible talent suddenly appeared in his mind.

n

n

nThat’s right, this person was Xuan Yi!

n

n

nWhen he thought of Xuan Yi, Qing Xuzi’s gaze became firm.

n

n

nHe said calmly, “Alright, my Profound Sword Sect has no objection.”

n
