Mu Shuixian
Status: Remnant Soul (capable of exerting full Saint-level power)
Title: Water Immortal Empress of the Mu Imperial Clan, Central Region
Background: Ten thousand years ago, betrayed by Emperor Wuchen. Her remnant soul escaped into the Myriad Dragon Ring and drifted to the Barren Province, Eastern Region.
The system also displayed Mu Shuixian's interface in detail.
["Congratulations, Host, for completing the task of recruiting a talented disciple. Rewards have been issued."]
["Congratulations, Host, for obtaining five Silver Summoning Cards."]
["Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Disciple Trial Tower, now materialized within the Azure Cloud Sect."]
["Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Sect-Exclusive Secret Realm, now materialized behind the Azure Cloud Sect's back mountain."]
["Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the cultivation method Phoenix Genesis Saint Art."]
["In addition, Host has recruited a powerhouse above the Saint Realm, and is additionally gifted a Lotus Body Sculpting Lotus Root."]
Disciple Trial Tower Description: A hundred-story tower filled with deadly mechanisms on each level. Note: Death is impossible within the tower. Failure results in immediate ejection.
Sect-Exclusive Secret Realm: Entry requires sect contribution points. Contains numerous opportunities and countless demonic beasts, an essential choice for disciple training.
Lotus Body Sculpting Lotus Root: Can accommodate remnant souls, reshape the body, and comes with the Lotus Saint Body physique.
"Another five summoning cards, and it even rewarded a Disciple Trial Tower and a sect-exclusive secret realm."
"Not bad, not bad."
Now that elders had been appointed and the sect's facilities were fully established, it was time to open the mountain gates wide and begin large-scale disciple recruitment.
As for this Lotus Body Sculpting Lotus Root, it could be used for Mu Shuixian anyway, since it was an extra gift.
However, the Azure Cloud Sect's things weren't so easy to take.
A contract had to be signed, working for the Azure Cloud Sect for free for ten thousand years.
As for after ten thousand years, if she was still around, they could just renew the contract for another ten thousand years.
...
Recruitment complete.
Feng Qingyang brought the still-confused Hua Qingyu to the city.
She just came out for a walk, and now she had a master? And had joined a sect?
The Ancient Saint Secret Realm was about to open.
Everyone was already waiting outside the city.
"Master, the Ancient Saint Secret Realm is about to open. Have we from the Azure Cloud Sect also sent disciples?"
Hua Qingyu asked, looking at this cheap master.
If the Azure Cloud Sect hadn't sent any disciples, she could represent the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Only two have come, your eldest senior brother and second senior brother. When you enter the secret realm later, the three of you will act together."
"Oh."
Hua Qingyu was still wondering if she should tell her royal father first.
Forget it, she would talk about it when the secret realm opened.
"Master."
Shi Hao and Lin Bai, who had received Feng Qingyang's summons, rushed over.
"Mm, let me introduce you. This is your little junior sister. The three of you will enter the secret realm together later."
"Wow, little junior sister!"
They were just wondering what Master meant by going out to take care of some business. It turned out he went to recruit a little junior sister.
"Little junior sister, hello, I am your eldest senior brother, Shi Hao."
"Lin Bai."
"Rest assured. With your second senior brother and me here, you will be safe."
Shi Hao took the lead in greeting her.
Hua Qingyu sized up the two senior brothers in front of her. One was burly and tall with a chiseled face, and the other was a second senior brother with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a cold and aloof temperament, and the face of a novel's male protagonist.
Hmm, they looked decent enough, but she had no idea how strong they really were.
"Then I'll have to thank the two senior brothers. Please take care of me."
Hua Qingyu, in her red dress, said proudly.
"Hehe, protect me? My Phoenix Holy Body has already achieved minor completion. I don't know who will be protecting whom later."
"Yu'er, these two senior brothers of yours are not simple."
Mu Shuixian, who was once in the Great Emperor Realm, had sharp eyes and saw through Shi Hao and Lin Bai's physiques at a glance.
One had the Supreme Saint Physique!
The other had the Azure Lotus Sword Physique!
Neither was simple, no worse than Qingyu's.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Outside Qilin City.
Strange phenomena appeared in the sky, and clouds surged with the wind.
A huge purple vortex floated into existence out of thin air.
One must possess a secret key to enter the Ancient Saint Secret Realm, and each key allowed a maximum of twenty-two people to enter, with a bone age limit of twenty-two. Exceeding the age limit or the number of people entering at once would result in being instantly crushed into blood mist.
"It's here, it's here! The Ancient Saint Secret Realm has opened!"
"What are you so excited about? You can't even go in."
"You don't get it! It's about participation! Shouting from outside the secret realm still counts, doesn't it?"
"Damn! You've got a point!"
"That makes sense!" That man gave a thumbs-up.
The various sects lined up and entered the secret realm in an orderly manner.
On the Qilin Dynasty's side, the eldest prince led the disciples, while the monarch appeared to be waiting for something.
"Father, I don't know where little sister ran off to. Why isn't she here yet? The secret realm has already opened."
"That's strange Yu'er left the palace just fifteen minutes ago."
"Over there, Father! I see Little Sister!"
The crown prince and the emperor hurried toward Hua Qingyu.
"Yu'er! Little Sister!"
"You had us worried sick! Where did you run off to? Come on, the secret realm has already opened."
The emperor and the crown prince each took hold of Hua Qingyu, ready to leave at once.
"Father."
"Elder brother, I was just about to tell you. I'm going to enter with my sect senior brothers and won't be going in with you."
"Sect? Little sister, when did you join a sect?"
"Oh, never mind that."
"My master is right here. Time is short let's set off immediately."
After Hua Qingyu finished speaking, she pointed at Feng Qingyang, indicating that this was her master, and if they had anything to say, they could talk to him...
Shi Hao, Lin Bai, and Hua Qingyu, holding the secret key given by Feng Qingyang, flew into the secret realm.
Leaving behind the monarch and the eldest prince bewildered in the wind.
"Little sister not only joined a sect but also took a master? What's going on?"
"My son, lead your people in first."
"No matter what, the Ancient Saint Secret Realm is a major event. We can talk about anything else later."
After the eldest prince led his people in, the Qilin monarch also came to Feng Qingyang's side.
"Esteemed guest, you are Yu'er's master? May I ask where you are from..."
"The supreme sect of Ling Province, the Azure Cloud Sect, Sect Master Feng Qingyang."
"Oh, so you are the Sect Master of the Supreme Sect. My respects, truly. Please, come to my royal palace for a chat. I would be honored to fulfill my duties as host."
Only those who exclusively dominated a province were qualified to be called a supreme sect.
He had also heard of this Azure Cloud Sect in Ling Province, but he scoffed at the rumors from the outside.
The lowest-ranking elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had to be at least a Half-Saint, yet the Azure Cloud Sect could destroy them, and he heard it was an easy instant kill.
What did that mean? It meant the Azure Cloud Sect had a Saint overseeing it!
As for the revenge of the transcendent force? Don't make me laugh! They killed your elder surely the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion knows about it. Yet, they've been slow to act.
He suspected that the Azure Cloud Sect must have some astonishing secret, or perhaps they also had backing from the Central Region.
It was a good thing that Yu'er could join such a powerful sect.
