Chapter 1350 Joining the Star Shattering Sect...?
BOOOOM-!
However, as he tried to look back and see the battle between the terrifying demonic cultivator and the elder from the Star Shattering Sect, all he saw was a blinding light followed by a terrifying shockwave that devastated the surroundings. Turning the formerly lush and verdant terrain into a wasteland where no animal or monster that had formerly inhabited the area were left alive.
Only at this point did the envoy from the Ice Cave Abode realize how terrifying someone in the Domain Lord Realm was, as their battle essentially shaped the surrounding landscape. Destroying or killing anything and anyone caught up in the battle.
In a sense, be it a normal mortal or a powerful Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Faced with the terrifying power of a Domain Lord Realm cultivator, they were no different and would both die when faced with that kind of terrifying power.
Not just that, but the envoy of the Ice Cave Abode also realized that there were still realms beyond the Domain Lord Realm and the Star Shattering Sect seemed to have cultivators who had surpassed the Domain Lord Realm and stepped into a realm far beyond anything he could imagine with his current limited strength.
In his eyes, a Domain Lord Realm cultivator was already capable of shaping the landscape around them, someone above the Domain Lord Realm was no different than an all-powerful god!
The Star Shattering Sect... Indeed, if I had the opportunity to join such a powerful sect, I would definitely also take the chance...
Thinking this to himself as he recalled the complaints of his seniors when they talked about how they had lost disciples to the Star Shattering Sect, the envoy of the Ice Cave Abode felt that their complaints were unfound, as it was understandable for anyone to want to join such a powerful sect.
Even he, who had already joined the Ice Cave Abode, would join the Star Shattering Sect at the drop of a hat if he got the chance without the slightest bit of regret.
At least... From the information spread around by the Star Shattering Sect, it seems like they consider all the different powers inside their territory to be unofficial subordinate powers. Allowing them to exist and grow as long as they don't interfere with the sect itself.
Only when a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator emerges do they get a visit from the Star Shattering Sect and gets the opportunity to become an official subordinate power to the Star Shattering Sect, though... I did hear that they are also allowed to continue staying neutral without anything happening. The Cui Family not to far away from the Ice Cave Abode is one such neutral power...
As his thoughts continued wandering regarding the Star Shattering Sect, the envoy from the Ice Cave Abode could not help feeling more and more amazed by the Star Shattering Sect the more he thought about it and realized just how magnanimous they were towards the different powers that existed inside their territory.
"Thank you for the guidance elder, this disciple understands!"
"Great, then I will get going or I might not even get a chance to join in on the fun, haha!"
As the Wang Lan left a few words for them and the disciple of his sect, he soon ascended back into the sky before rapidly flying back in the direction he had come from. Moving at a speed several times faster than when he had been carrying them.
"Well then, this is it for our short time together, young ones, I hope your cultivation will proceed smoothly in the future and for the senior of these young ones, I hope you can guide them well. If you ever get the chance, I encourage you to take them with you to the branch sect in this area.
Although you are a bit old, you are still in the Foundation Establishment Realm and should still be within the range for becoming a disciple. Even if not the main sect, a recently established branch sect like the one in this area might lack manpower and consider accepting you as disciple. Well then, I will be taking my leave."
"This...! T-Thank you for your guidance, I will make sure to remember it!" Hearing what the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect said, the envoy of the Ice Cave Abode froze for a second before turning in the direction that the disciple left before loudly thanking him while bowing his head until his figure was no longer visible.
"S-Senior? What are we going to do now?"
As he got up and stopped bowing, one of the young potential disciples could not help stepping forward in a somewhat uneasy manner as he asked this. Obviously, he and the rest of them wanted to join the Star Shattering Sect after what they had just witnessed but were scared to say so out loud. Not wanting to offend.
"Of course, we are going to the branch sect of the Star Shattering Sect! No need to think about joining the small Ice Cave Abode!"
However, the envoy had already become fully set on joining the Star Shattering Sect at this point in time, so he didn't waste a second as he answered the hesitating child. Earning the cheers from all three of the children, as he wasted no time in setting off in the direction of the Star Shattering Sect's branch sect.
Now that he had the opportunity to potentially join the Star Shattering Sect, he didn't plan to waste it.
As for what to do about the Ice Cave Abode... They would likely consider him dead after news about the battle between the terrifying demonic cultivator and elders of the Star Shattering Sect spread and the fact that he had been going that way when the battle had broken off.
If he didn't go back to the Ice Cave Abode, they wouldn't have any clue that he had defected and decided to join the Star Shattering Sect.
As for the disciple who had essentially napped this Foundation Establishment cultivator... He didn't know any better and just thought that the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was a wandering cultivator travelling with his few disciples, thus deciding to extent this lone cultivator an olive branch to all four after seeing that the three younger ones were rather talented.
