NOVPUBEven a Saint Warrior, in such a place, could shorten the time of their arduous cultivation!
"This Sky River Sect is already so remarkable… those top ancient clans and ancient sects, I fear they surpass the Sky River Sect by dozens of times?"
Su Changkong muttered to himself.
"Saint Warrior…"
On the mountain road of Sky River Mountain where the Sky River Sect was located, many disciples dressed in the sect’s attire looked up at the three people flying and landing in the sky, envy evident in their eyes.
In any sect, only by becoming a Saint could one qualify to be a core member of the sect and access a broader world!
And this step kept out 99.9 percent of people. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Like the Sky River Sect, with more than a hundred thousand disciples, each one admitted to the sect after strict selection and testing, each talented, many of them descendants of Saint Warriors, but ultimately, fewer than one in a thousand could achieve sainthood through their own cultivation before their lifespan ended.
Most who could not achieve sainthood through their own cultivation before their lifespan ended would choose to refine a Divine Seed, provided they could obtain one from the sect.
It is difficult to become a Saint and even more challenging to go far at this level!
"Brother Liu, Sister Wang."
At the entrance of the Sky River Sect, Su Changkong and the other two landed, and were greeted by Liu Feixing and Wang Xiaoyu; the disciples guarding the sect entry paid their respects.
"Mmm."
Liu Feixing nodded slightly, then led Su Changkong into the Sky River Sect.
Majestic palaces stood tall, filled with a massive amount of spiritual energy from the Dragon Qi, surpassing even the ’Cave Heaven and Blessed Land’ Su Changkong had seen before in the Great Flame Empire.
"Brother Su, I’ll take you to my ’Feixing Cave Mansion’."
Liu Feixing said.
In the Sky River Sect, after becoming a Saint, one is entitled to a cave mansion, similar to a ’Cave Heaven and Blessed Land,’ a cultivated space rich in spiritual energy.
"Mmm."
Su Changkong naturally agreed, following Liu Feixing into a cave located at the summit of Sky River Mountain, which internally seemed like another realm.
Sweet-smelling flowers, abundant spiritual energy, rocky mountains, waterfalls, and all kinds of spirit grasses!
Su Changkong also saw some Sky River Sect disciples tending to the spirit fields. They were Liu Feixing’s fellow disciples, who had good relations with him before his sainthood. For them, Liu Feixing allowing them to cultivate in his spirit-rich cave mansion was already a great kindness.
In a great hall of the ’Feixing Cave Mansion,’ Liu Feixing warmly entertained Su Changkong, serving even his usually cherished spirit tea.
Before long, a man in blue middle age rushed in; he bore some resemblance to Liu Feixing, looked to be in his forties, authoritative even without anger, his aura subdued yet unfathomable, possessing a unity-of-heaven-and-man aura.
"Feixing… I heard from Wang Xiaoyu that you’ve refined a Divine Seed?"
The middle-aged man asked hurriedly.
"Yes… It was unavoidable."
Liu Feixing smiled wryly.
The middle-aged man was Liu Feixing’s father, Liu Yueping, himself ranked sixth among the eleven elders of the Sky River Sect, commanding a very high status within the sect.
Upon returning to the Sky River Sect, Liu Feixing and Wang Xiaoyu had already messaged Liu Yueping, who was in secluded cultivation and undoubtedly exited seclusion immediately upon receiving the news to understand the situation.
Upon confirmation, Liu Yueping, hearing his words, twitched at the corners of his mouth and sighed deeply, understanding vividly that the powerful found it increasingly difficult to produce offspring. Although he had more children than just Liu Feixing, Liu Feixing—a young man who had achieved sainthood through his own cultivation—was his most valued offspring.
Now that Liu Feixing had refined a Divine Seed, his potential was greatly impaired, and his future prospects were likely limited.
Despite feeling heavy-hearted, Liu Yueping was not an ordinary person and quickly controlled his emotions. Turning to Su Changkong, he clasped his hands courteously, "May I know if you are Su Changkong, Little Friend? I truly thank you this time for your timely assistance. Otherwise, my son’s life would have been lost to those villains!"
"Elder Liu is being too polite."
Su Changkong said.
Liu Yueping and Su Changkong both took seats, and Liu Yueping ventured, "Little Friend Su, I hear from Feixing that you slew three Saint Warriors? May I inquire who instructed you? Perhaps there’s some connection with our Sky River Sect."
The three Saint Warriors that forced Liu Feixing to refine a Divine Seed were evidently powerful, and Su Changkong easily dispatching them was profoundly mysterious. Liu Yueping was very curious about Su Changkong’s origins and background.
"Elder Liu, I don’t have any real instruction; I practiced on my own in secluded places for many years and this is my first visit to the Dusty Sun Region."
Su Changkong shook his head, speaking the truth.
Liu Yueping was somewhat skeptical, as those of such strength usually came from a notable background, either a major sect or a prominent family.
However, since Su Changkong chose not to share, Liu Yueping naturally did not press further.
Instead, Liu Yueping took out a jade box, handing it to Su Changkong: "Little Friend Su, you saved Feixing’s life, and I really don’t know how else to express my gratitude. Please accept this modest gift."
"Then I will not be polite."
Su Changkong pondered briefly before accepting the gift, knowing that if he didn’t, Liu Yueping would feel uneasy, thinking he might be trying to leverage a favor for something more. Accepting the gift would make Liu Yueping feel his obligation partly repaid, easing further dialogue.
"Indeed, that’s quite generous…"
Su Changkong received the jade box, inspecting its contents and inwardly praised.
The jade box contained Primordial Liquid, about 50 taels!
Generally, depending on the quality and contained divine skills, a Divine Seed costs between 10 and 100 taels of Primordial Liquid. Elite disciple Wang Zhongqiu of the Ancient Demon Sect had only about 100 taels of Primordial Liquid on him.
The 50 taels of Primordial Liquid Liu Yueping offered as gratitude indeed constituted a generous gift!
