*Great Han Dynasty, High Heaven Pavilion.*
A month had passed since Yu Tian killed the Spider Mother, destroyed her spirit, and cured Shan Qing Luo's curse. Shan Qing Luo was now in her palace, focused on absorbing the Yuan Qi stored in the Monster Core. It was evident that the Spider Mother had spared no effort in storing all her energy in her Monster Core, which was very beneficial for Shan Qing Luo to reach the peak of Immortal Ascension, or even transcend it.
As for Yu Tian, he had left Fragrance City after returning Shan Qing Luo and headed towards the High Heaven Pavilion. After a month-long journey, he finally arrived. Shan Qing Luo had instructed Bi Lou to accompany him in case he needed anything.
"Who are you? This is the High Heaven Pavilion," two guards asked cautiously as they blocked the giant stone gate with their spears.
"Yu Tian, I want to join the High Heaven Pavilion," Yu Tian said nonchalantly as he stood with Bi Lou, who was hiding her appearance. Although her beauty couldn't compare to Shan Qing Luo's, she was still exceptionally beautiful. "Can you inform one of the Elders or the Sect Master?"
"I see. In that case, please wait a moment," one of the guards said respectfully, bowing towards Yu Tian before leaving to report the matter to the Elders.
"Do you really want to join this small sect?" Bi Lou asked quietly. It was obvious that staying in Fragrance City was much better than this place. Yu Tian wouldn't lack resources there, as Fragrance City belonged to Shan Qing Luo, who wouldn't hesitate to provide anything for Yu Tian.
"That's right," Yu Tian nodded, not hiding anything from Bi Lou, as she had earned his trust over the past month. "As you know, I am a dragon, but I am just a newly born one. There is an opportunity here for me to evolve."
"I see..." Bi Lou was surprised that there was something in this remote area that could help a dragon evolve, but she didn't doubt Yu Tian's words, as it was clear that he knew what was best for him.
The two of them fell silent as they waited for someone to receive them, while Bi Lou curiously examined the High Heaven Pavilion. It was evident that there was nothing special about this place from the outside.
"It seems they have arrived," Yu Tian muttered quietly as he sensed several people flying towards him, six to be exact.
The six individuals soon arrived in front of Yu Tian, examining him curiously. His aura was not weaker than theirs, except for one person.
"Immortal Ascension 3rd Stage..." muttered one of the individuals, who wore the same white and blue attire. He was one of the Elders and was clearly shocked.
"He's so young..." another person muttered. Although they had the ability to maintain a youthful appearance, it was easy for them to discern someone's age from their life aura. Yu Tian's life aura clearly indicated that he was less than 20 years old.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that Yu Tian was hiding his true strength with the help of the system, as his power far surpassed mere Immortal Ascension.
"Do you want to join the High Heaven Pavilion?" asked a man with shark-like sharp teeth cautiously, doubting that Yu Tian truly wanted to join the High Heaven Pavilion, especially after sensing his power.
"Yes," Yu Tian nodded quietly, seemingly unaffected by the strong auras of those present. Anyone else would have been frightened to stand before so many people at the Immortal Ascension Stage.
"May I know why?" asked another person with a long brown beard. "Someone with your strength could join many first-rate sects, assuming you aren't already a member of one."
Although this person had a kind expression, he was extremely cautious in his heart. It was dangerous to allow Yu Tian to join the High Heaven Pavilion without knowing his intentions or background, as he could potentially cause the destruction of the High Heaven Pavilion.
"I want to experience sect life," Yu Tian said calmly with a slight smile. "You must understand that I have an extraordinary background given my strength and young age, and I was sent out by my Clan to gain experience. That's why I chose to come to the High Heaven Pavilion, as it's renowned for providing an environment that helps disciples grow and gain experience."
Yu Tian knew that everyone in the High Heaven Pavilion would be cautious of him due to his strength and unknown background, so he decided to use it to his advantage and pressure the High Heaven Pavilion with it.
"By the way, I won't join for free. I will contribute to the High Heaven Pavilion, and I will fight alongside you if anyone tries to attack the High Heaven Pavilion," Yu Tian said before gesturing to Bi Lou. "Not only that, but she will also assist if something happens."
At this time, Bi Lou's strength had increased significantly, reaching the Immortal Ascension 1st Stage, which was not to be underestimated in this world.
"...," upon hearing Yu Tian, the Elders couldn't help but feel both tempted and cautious. Acquiring two people in the Immortal Ascension stage was something that first-rate sects would go to great lengths to achieve.
Although they felt that the benefits outweighed the risks, the final decision wasn't theirs to make. So, everyone looked at the man in the middle, who had white hair and a white beard, none other than the Sect Master: Ling Tai Xu.
"Hmm..." Ling Tai Xu murmured as he stroked his white beard, watching Yu Tian with calm yet sharp eyes like a hawk.

Hi everyone, I'm finally back, sorry for the hiatus the last few days but I've been so busy I couldn't even touch my computer.
Also it seems that Patreon has added a new feature that allows you to buy just one chapter and if you want you can try it although I don't recommend it since the minimum price for a chapter is $3 and I couldn't lower it any further.
