Above the Immortal Peak of the Dragon Sparrow Sect. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝓫𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶

A man with a rough beard, a slim and strong woman with a single-arm armor, and a kindly old man, arrived from four directions, crossing through space, standing before the Daoist in a long gown, all shaking their heads slowly.

They traced the lineage, near the Dragon Sparrow Sect, the clues were cut off.

Whether it was the Heavenly Demon Nether Dragon Scroll or that strand of sword qi, all had dissipated in the world around them.

The Daoist in the long gown first squinted his eyes, wrinkling his brows, then turned to a calm-faced Yun Xuzi:

“It seems we indeed harassed them.”

Yun Xuzi’s face was cold as he stroked his white beard: “The person you were looking for, I’ve already told you, couldn’t possibly be in the sect. The Heavenly Demon Nether Dragon Scroll is such a hot potato, if there was any news, why wouldn’t it be reported to the Immortal Gate? The envoy of Taicang Heaven had come to investigate, but nothing happened.”

“What about your promise of compensation to the Dragon Sparrow Sect? How do you intend to fulfill it?”

The implication of his words was that if even the envoy of Taicang Heaven hadn’t found anything wrong, on what grounds did they act so unreservedly.

Every envoy of Beyond Heaven held a tremendously high status and represented the externally affairs of the Immortal Gate, tantamount to a foreign affairs head.

In terms of status, they were naturally higher than their own. Though they were the cream of the crop within the Immortal Gate and had high levels of cultivation, they hadn’t reached the envoy’s level. Only the Immortal Lord, the head of the Immortal Gate, could summon the envoy to roam the mortal world and visit various sects.

Zhou Ping and Ye Jianzun looked at each other, recognizing the intention to withdraw in each other’s eyes.

For their investigation within the Dragon Sparrow Sect, there naturally was a price and conditions. Otherwise, Yun Xuzi wouldn’t step back and let them disturb the cultivation of the disciples on the Immortal Peak.

Faced with Yun Xuzi’s query, the accommodating Zhou Ping responded with a light smile: “Founder Yunxu don’t worry. Since we harassed your sect, naturally, we will ensure a few more quotas in the Golden Cicada Secret Realm this year. The Immortal Gate will approve.

“Is this true?”

Yun Xuzi’s expression remained unchanged as he asked casually.

“Of course, I’m the person in charge of the Golden Cicada Secret Realm this year. It’s the turn of Ziwei Heaven to manage the secret realm, a few extra quotas are easy to obtain.”

Zhou Ping responded with a smile.

The Golden Cicada Secret Realm opens once every ten years. Each time it opens, the number of quotas available to each sect is extremely limited. Even a top-rated Blessed Land like the Dragon Sparrow Sect could only have ten people enter.

Most of them are newly inducted true inheritance disciples, taking up the majority of the places. The rest is divided amongst the direct disciples, Inner Sect, and Outer Sect.

Throughout the years, the Golden Cicada Secret Realm has been jointly managed by the Nine Great Immortal Gates. They changed personnel every ten years to prevent one sect from dominating and monopolizing all resources.

This year, it just so happens to be the turn of Ziwei Heaven. Whichever Immortal Gate hosts the event will invariably have an increase in quotas for their own disciples – an unavoidable fact.

If Ziwei Sky was hosting this year and could allocate a few more quotas to the Dragon Sparrow Sect, Yun Xuzi certainly hoped to see this outcome.

“This year, five additional quotas will be given to the Dragon Sparrow Sect. What do you think, Founder Yunxu?”

“Five, isn’t that too few?” (f)reewe(b)novel

As for the quotas, of course, he wouldn’t think it’s too few. If he could get more, he would ask for more. Yun Xuzi obviously knew this rule, and his tone grew colder.

At this moment, Ye Jianzun intervened: “Senior Yunxu, each of these quotas for the secret realm is hard to come by. Even cultivator sects of the Cave Heavens level only get one. Blessed Lands get ten. Five extra quotas are equivalent to the total number for five Cave Heavens sects. It will provide five disciples the chance to become pillars of a sect, which is a very cost-effective deal.”

“Are you lecturing this seat?”

Though Yun Xuzi’s words were calm, a majestic immortal figure appeared behind him, standing tall among the clouds, overlooking the Hundred Thousand Qingyun Immortal Mountains.

It seemed like with just a slight move, this world was at his fingertips.

He simply stood there, exuding an invisible aura of power, capable of standing upright against the world, keeping everyone at a distance.

Seeing this scene, Ye Jianzun’s expression suddenly faltered, realizing his tone had been slightly harsh. He forced himself to say, “Junior does not dare, but merely wanting to seek justice for other sects. After all, the number of people permitted to enter the secret realm is fixed. If the Dragon Sparrow Sect gets a few more, other sects will definitely lose a few.”

“Hmph!”

Seeing the other party using sect morality to pressure him, Yun Xuzi did not argue with him any longer. With his hands behind his back, the people’s shadows behind him disappeared in an instant.

Everyone secretly sighed in relief, realizing that the cultivation of the current leader of the Dragon Sparrow Sect is not to be underestimated.

In the Immortal Gate, he could be considered equivalent to the level of deputy sect leader.

“In that case, we will take our leave first.”

Zhou Ping clasped his fist at Yun Xuzi and turned to leave.

The others did not linger either, the space rippled like water, and they disappeared on the spot.

After leaving Qingyun Immortal Mountain, two flashes of light appeared in the sky.

“There’s definitely something wrong with the Dragon Sparrow Sect.”

The smile on Zhou Ping’s face quickly receded, his deep eyes resembling a frigid pool, and a white strap fluttered behind him in the clear sky.

“If we can’t find it, is there a possibility that the Dragon Sparrow Sect is hiding it by some means?” Ye Jianzun quickly appeared and asked directly.

Zhou Ping pondered: “There is that possibility, but do you dare to bet? Do you dare to make a move against the Dragon Sparrow Sect?”

“Without full assurance, if you go to war with the Dragon Sparrow Sect, no Immortal Gate would dare to take action against them easily. This is not a small Treasure Peak Sect, not a Cave Heaven, but a Major Sect of Blessed Land that has stood tall for a thousand years.”

“There are also many powerful individuals above the level of Deity Transformation in the Dragon Sparrow Sect. Unless several Immortal Gates unite and launch an attack together, only then it can be easily flattened. If a single Immortal Gate made a move, it would result in significant damage to its own abilities. The Immortal Lord would not support us..”
