Chapter 02: Spritual Sect Sanctuary!
Translator: Krukist
"Buzz!"
In the valley, Wang Feng, who was waiting for Ye Gucheng's arrival, suddenly felt the space tremble. Startled, he quickly hid behind a tree, peeking towards the direction of the spatial disturbance.
Under Wang Feng's shocked gaze, a figure stepped out from the void. Dressed in snow-white robes, with long flowing hair, even from a distance of ten meters, Wang Feng could still feel the overwhelming arrogance and the chilling sword intent emanating from the figure.
"On a full moon night, at the pinnacle of the Forbidden Purple Peak, one sword comes west, a celestial descending from the heavens!"
Looking at the slowly descending figure, Wang Feng couldn't help but think of these words.
The Celestial descending from the heavens referred to Ye Gucheng, not only because he was like a celestial descending from the heavens, but also because Ye Gucheng's ultimate move was called "Celestial Flying Immortal," a move created by him, as pure and flawless as the clear blue sky and white clouds. The attack came from a high position, swift and brilliant, incredibly profound!
"Ye Gucheng, I pay my respects to the Sect Master!"
As the figure in white robes landed, he looked in Wang Feng's direction and slightly bowed, speaking softly.
"No need for such formalities. With Gucheng joining the Divine Immortal Sect, we shall soar to the highest heights!" Wang Feng quickly stepped out from behind the tree and smiled at Ye Gucheng, his face showing a satisfied expression.
Ye Gucheng stood silently, not the least bit excited by Wang Feng's words. His arrogance was evident in this moment.
Seeing this, Wang Feng didn't think much of it. He knew that Ye Gucheng was this way—so proud that, in his world, the only person who could earn his recognition was Ximen Chui Xue!
"System, don't I still have one more chance to draw? Let me try it!" Wang Feng thought to himself. He was very pleased with the summoning opportunity and couldn't wait to see if the prize from this draw would also satisfy him.
Noticing that Wang Feng was lost in thought, Ye Gucheng slowly walked to stand behind him, quietly holding his sword, appearing like a guardian.
"Ding, congratulations to the host! You have drawn 10% of Ye Gucheng's cultivation. Please choose whether to use it yourself or give it to the sect disciples."
The cold voice sounded in Wang Feng's mind, and he was filled with excitement, his body trembling. He had always wanted to become a cultivator! He didn't even bother to process the second part of the system's message. He thought, 'Damn it, I'm the sect master, and I'm still a mortal. How could I give this power to the disciples?'
"System, what realm will I reach with 10% of Ye Gucheng's cultivation?" Wang Feng asked in his mind.
"It will elevate the host to the early stage of the Profound Sovereign Realm."
The voice echoed, causing Wang Feng to feel confused. Until now, he had not fully understood the specific cultivation realms of this world. He asked again, "System, how are the cultivation realms of this world divided?"
"The Immortal Continent's cultivation is based on strengthening oneself with Profound Qi. The realms are divided as follows: Foundation Building, Profound Veins, Spirit Communication, Profound General, Pre Mystic Sovereign, Mystic Sovereign, and Mystic Emperor. Each realm is further subdivided into early, mid, late, and peak stages."
"Ah, I see!" Wang Feng nodded, his excitement growing. With Ye Gucheng's 10% cultivation, he was directly raised to the Mystic Sovereign Realm. This was incredibly powerful!
"System, extract the cultivation!"
As soon as Wang Feng's words fell, a mighty force surged within his body, rapidly refining his physique, transforming his meridians, and tempering his body into that of a true Mystic Entering Stage expert.
"Buzz!"
After a long time, the force gradually subsided, and Wang Feng, who had leaped from being a mortal to a top-tier Pre Mystic Sovereign, now felt an immense sense of strength. His whole being felt refreshed, and a satisfied smile spread across his face as he felt the tremendous power within him.
At this moment, he truly understood the strength of cultivators! He was no longer a... worthless person! Heaven knows how stirred Wang Feng's heart was at this moment!
"Ding, the system offers the hidden cultivation feature. Does the host wish to conceal their cultivation?"
"Hide!" Wang Feng responded without hesitation.
Although he had now reached the Pre Mystic Sovereign Realm, with Ye Gucheng, a peak Mystic Sovereign realm expert, by his side, Wang Feng was still aware that this world was vast and full of danger. Strong individuals were everywhere, and the best strategy was to hide one's true strength!
"Sect... Sect Master, who... who is this?" At this moment, a trembling voice was heard, causing Wang Feng to look up. He saw Li Qing, who was staring at Ye Gucheng in fear.
At that moment, in Li Qing's perception, Ye Gucheng seemed like a divine sword exuding a sharp sword intent. Just one glance was enough to send a tremor through his entire being!
"This is the elder of my Divine Immortal Sect, Ye Gucheng!" Wang Feng spoke indifferently, already aware of Li Qing's fear. Though Ye Gucheng wasn't emitting any aura, how could an ordinary mortal like Li Qing possibly withstand his presence?
"Disciple Li Qing, I pay my respects to Elder Ye!" Upon hearing Wang Feng's words, Li Qing quickly bowed to Ye Gucheng in great respect. Compared to Wang Feng, Ye Gucheng gave him the true impression of a cultivator.
Ye Gucheng simply nodded coldly at Li Qing's greeting.
Seeing this, Li Qing dared not speak further, standing obediently to the side. Earlier, after returning to his hut to rest, he had started feeling uneasy. Even in a lesser sect, it was unlikely they would house a disciple in a simple hut. So, Li Qing had begun suspecting that Wang Feng had tricked him, and he planned to confront him. However, upon seeing someone like Ye Gucheng, he immediately suppressed his doubts.
"Sect Master, someone is coming!" Ye Gucheng's gaze flickered with a sharp light, and he spoke to Wang Feng.
"It's fine, let's wait and see!" Wang Feng squinted, waving his hand. After hearing Ye Gucheng's words, he too sensed the presence of someone approaching. The person's cultivation wasn't high, so Wang Feng remained calm.
He also hadn't forgotten that the system had tasked him with recruiting ten disciples. He had only recruited one so far, so anyone who arrived could be a potential candidate for joining his sect.
Behind them, Li Qing's eyes flickered with envy. He silently thought, "This must be the cultivator's ability to sense everything in a thousand miles. I never expected the seemingly ordinary Sect Master to be so powerful. Joining the Divine Immortal Sect was definitely the right decision!"
Before long, the group saw a young woman in a white gauze dress, covered in blood, stumbling towards them. It seemed like she had just gone through a fierce battle.
...
"Today, if I survive, I, Fei Wu, will surely annihilate all you treacherous villains!" Fei Wu muttered to herself, clutching her wound as a murderous hatred gleamed in her eyes. It was unimaginable that such an ethereal figure would harbor such intense hatred.
"This young lady, you seem to be in a hurry, likely having encountered a powerful enemy. Join my Divine Immortal Sect, and you shall be safe."
At this moment, a voice echoed, causing Fei Wu, who was fleeing for her life, to pause for a moment. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw three figures walking towards her. The leader, a man of extraordinary beauty, emitted no aura, yet his presence exuded an aura of dignity that was hard to ignore.
Next to him stood a white-robed swordsman, giving Fei Wu the impression of facing a sharp divine sword. Her heart involuntarily trembled.
Although danger was near, for some reason, upon seeing Wang Feng and his group, Fei Wu felt an inexplicable sense of safety, as if being with them would protect her from harm.
"I may not escape anyway, so I might as well take a gamble!"
Fei Wu gritted her teeth and stopped running. She respectfully saluted Wang Feng and the others and spoke, "I greet the senior. May I ask who you are?"
Wang Feng smiled slightly. He hadn't expected this woman to be so focused on escaping that she hadn't even noticed them. He had initially planned to let her go, but when the system task was triggered, Wang Feng decided to speak up and stop her.
"Ding, congratulations to the host! You have activated a task. Accept this woman into the sect and receive the reward: a Spiritual Sect Sanctuary!"
Wang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his posture one of a sage, and spoke indifferently, "This sect is the Divine Immortal Sect, and I am its Sect Master!"
"Divine Immortal Sect?"
Upon hearing Wang Feng's words, Fei Wu's eyes flickered with confusion. Although she couldn't recognize all the sects on the Immortal Continent, she had heard of many in the Radiant Sun Empire. But she had never heard of the Divine Immortal Sect.
"Could it be a lesser sect?"
Fei Wu thought to herself, but as soon as this thought emerged, she dismissed it. The man next to Wang Feng, the sword-wielding figure, gave her such a powerful impression that she could not believe this was a sect of low status!
"May I ask, Sect Master, is what you said true?" Fei Wu asked, her eyes fixed on Wang Feng, knowing that her escape was impossible. She had no choice but to gamble, hoping these people could protect her from her pursuers.
"Of course, it's true. Join my Divine Immortal Sect, and I will guarantee your safety!" Wang Feng glanced at Fei Wu and said indifferently.
With his current cultivation, he could easily tell that this woman was at the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm, much stronger than Li Qing, a mere mortal. Even without the system's task, Wang Feng would have invited her to join the sect. At only eighteen or nineteen, she had reached the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm, a true prodigy!
"Very well. I, Fei Wu, will join the Divine Immortal Sect. Please, Sect Master, protect me!" Fei Wu gritted her teeth and, with a bow, respectfully declared.
She wasn't sure if Wang Feng could resist the strong enemies pursuing her, but at this point, she had no other choice. She had to place all her hope in Wang Feng and his group.
"Ding, congratulations to the host! You have successfully accepted Fei Wu into the sect, completing the system task and receiving the reward: Spiritual Sect Sanctuary!"
As soon as Fei Wu agreed, the system's cold voice sounded in Wang Feng's mind.
