Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 385 - 383: Leaving the Celestial Palace, the Second Seven Stars Stele in Demon Saint Province, the Long-Awaited Targeted Draw!

Chapter 385: Chapter 383: Leaving the Celestial Palace, the Second Seven Stars Stele in Demon Saint Province, the Long-Awaited Targeted Draw!

Do you want to... join the Lingyao Celestial Palace?

Beside him, Sang Xiyao’s face froze, her heart shocked.

The Palace Master’s move not only surprised the other party, but also caught her off guard...

It wasn’t mentioned just now!

Hearing this question, Lu Ye was somewhat astonished. He hadn’t expected the masked Palace Master to inquire about such a thing upon arrival.

To be honest, the strength of the Lingyao Celestial Palace, even within this short period, was something Lu Ye could sense.

But again...

Joining a faction inevitably comes with certain constraints.

If it had been at the very beginning, he would have readily agreed without hesitation. After all, having someone influential behind you makes things easier—this has always been the consensus on the continent.

But now, Lu Ye no longer had any urgent desire to join a faction.

So, after showing a thoughtful expression, Lu Ye finally said, "Thank you for the Palace Master’s appreciation and kindness, but personally, I may have grown accustomed to a more relaxed lifestyle."

Standing aside, Sang Xiyao fell into silence.

Upon hearing the Palace Master’s words earlier, Sang Xiyao almost thought that the Celestial Palace would gain an outstanding disciple.

Unexpectedly, that thought hadn’t even materialized before being proactively quashed by the young man in front of her.

Did he... politely refuse?!

The foundation of the Celestial Palace could allow him to ascend to the status of an Earth Realm Grandmaster in a much shorter time.

It would also give him a greater chance of breaking through to become a Celestial Realm Grandmaster!

This foundation, across the whole Xuanzhou, could only be matched by the Lingyao Celestial Palace, without any other force being capable of it.

How could this person refuse?

Hearing Lu Ye’s refusal, even the masked Palace Master showed a fleeting hint of surprise.

However, she quickly regained her composure and said.

"With your potential, you can cultivate faster here. Your cultivation technique is formidable; elsewhere, it’s hard to find such abundant Heaven and Earth Source Qi."

Thinking it over, Lu Ye still showed a hint of apology and said, "Thank you, Palace Master, I have considered it thoroughly. If there’s a chance in the future... then definitely!"

Sang Xiyao: "..."

"Since you have your own plans, I won’t persuade you further." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Hearing Lu Ye’s determined tone and realization of his intentions, the masked Palace Master remained expressionless and said, "Then you and little Xiyao exchange contact information. In three months, the Yunyao Secret Realm will open. By then, a gathering point will be sent to those with tokens."

"Alright, thank you for the reminder, Palace Master. Xiyao Fairy, I trouble you..."

...

After about half a cup of tea time...

Following Sang Xiyao through the air for a while, it seemed there was an invisible array barrier ahead.

After the two passed through it, the floating islands behind them all vanished, replaced by the mountainous scenery they had seen before.

"Xiyao Fairy, thank you for sending me out. Until we meet again." Turning and bowing his hand to Sang Xiyao, Lu Ye had already exchanged transmission contact information with her.

After all, this concerned the meeting location for the Yunyao Secret Realm.

Throughout this journey, Sang Xiyao’s gaze was slightly odd.

At this moment, staring at this unremarkable young man, she hesitated but ultimately couldn’t hold back.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why... did you refuse the Palace Master’s invitation? Without a sect backing you, the Celestial Palace seems perfectly suited for you."

Lu Ye chuckled, "Xiyao Fairy, it’s like I said; I’ve always been a lone wanderer, used to being alone."

"Then let’s part ways here, Fellow Daoist Chen, see you in three months." Collecting her thoughts, Sang Xiyao waved to Lu Ye.

Watching Sang Xiyao take out her token again as if it were a pass and disappearing into the barrier, Lu Ye stood still for two seconds before turning to step onto the sky, leaving instantly.

This area was unfamiliar to Lu Ye.

Not until he had flown nearly a thousand miles did he find a small city, then landed and inquired about its name.

Learning it was called Luhua City, only then did he locate its position on the Eastern Territory map.

"Near the eastern edge of the Eastern Territory, does this mean that the Lingyao Celestial Palace is roughly located in the eastern part of the Eastern Territory as well?"

To the east then...

Noting down this speculation, Lu Ye took another look at the map and then proceeded to visit a local Shang Pavilion within the city to buy a new Disguise Mask.

By now, with his continuous appearances on the leaderboard, the name Chen Beixuan and his current unremarkable appearance had probably already been recorded by the major factions.

About two days ago, a power attempted to ambush him, and Lu Ye hadn’t forgotten how overwhelmingly strong they were!

So, Chen Beixuan’s identity should come to an end as well.

A moment later, with the new mask in hand, he left the shop and headed into a secluded alley where no one was around and quickly donned the new mask.

Lu Ye murmured to himself, "From now on, the new identity shall be... Lu Yan."

The word "Yan" was casually borrowed from the Flame Emperor’s name.

Now, with the new Disguise Mask, his appearance had changed from an unremarkable man to someone with a square face.

Stepping out from the alley, Lu Ye leisurely continued heading toward the Northern Territory.

The Eastern Territory’s stele no longer held any benefits.

And in his Dantian, the first node of the Seven Stars Map had already been lit, indicating that he indeed needed to reach the top to activate one of the nodes.

Lu Ye’s next step was setting his sights on a region adjoining part of the Northern Territory—

Demon Saint Province.

The Demon Saint Province borders Xuanzhou, and beyond it lies the Boundless Sea!

Since the main base of the Demon Race exists within, the Human Race in Demon Saint Province is quite sparse.

Only a few large cities are inhabited by humans living in groups, whereas the vast majority of regions are dominated by the Demon Race.

The Seven Stars Stele for the Demon Saint Province is located in its largest city, Demon Saint City.

Without intentionally rushing, Lu Ye barely reached the Eastern Territory border by nightfall.

Scanning his surroundings, he still preferred finding a secluded area, entering a cave to begin his cultivation.

"At this rate, it seems almost every cave, big and small, in Xuanzhou will bear my footprints..."

Considering this possibility, Lu Ye’s expression became slightly awkward.

The external Source Qi was indeed far inferior compared to the Lingyao Celestial Palace during the day.

However, Lu Ye remained at ease, just as he had mentioned, that initially joining a sect was about finding backing for stable cultivation.

Yet, the subsequent developments were unexpected.

And now, being alone was instead more convenient.

Moreover, with numerous experts at the Celestial Palace, he couldn’t afford to reveal his secrets.

Even though the Lingyao Palace Master was good, it doesn’t mean everyone in the Celestial Palace was benevolent.

Thus, choosing to distance himself from such Xuanzhou pinnacle forces was instead a wise choice.

Time passed slowly, soon arriving at dawn.

The Myriad Dao Pavilion’s energy level increased by another unit, completing its accumulation, and the entire little Myriad Dao Pavilion suddenly exuded a mystic energy.

As if enticing Lu Ye to hurry and open it, it was very alluring.

"Is it fully charged..."

Upon seeing this, Lu Ye paused his cultivation, glancing at the Myriad Dao Pavilion, a slight smirk at the corner of his lips.

He had already amassed ten billion silver, enough to fully activate the Myriad Dao Pavilion once.

But feeling his luck hadn’t been great recently, he hadn’t resorted to targeted draws, always opting for regular draws whenever the charging was complete.

Predictably, the results were always some Low Tier Elixirs or Profound and Earth Tier Martial Arts Secret Manuals.

Tonight...

Lu Ye decided, to spend this ten billion-saving to initiate the long-lost targeted draw!
