Chapter 111

A beautiful melody filled the air, a heavenly music that seemed like a divine gift, entrancing all the cultivators who listened. As Qin Qing performed on the white jade stage floating in the sky, this was considered the “opening ceremony” of the Ascension Grand Conference.

Although not particularly interested in music, Li Su couldn’t deny the beauty of Qin Qing’s performance. Her music could stir emotions and put people in a pleasant mood. For cultivators on the brink of a breakthrough, her music could boost their chances of success. Mental and emotional states were crucial when attempting to break through bottlenecks, and Qin Qing’s performance had everyone entranced.

At the Ascension Grand Conference, all the cultivators seemed mesmerized by the enchantment of Qin Qing’s performance.

“The name ‘Qin Qing’ is well-deserved. Hearing her play at this event is enough to make one’s life complete,” remarked a cultivator in the crowd, echoing the sentiments of many.

“Yes, Qin Qing is a master of both music and cultivation. It’s an honor for us to hear her play,” agreed another nearby cultivator.

After the performance, many cultivators below began to whisper and discuss among themselves. Many of them had only heard of Qin Qing’s name but had never heard her play. Hearing her now left them in awe.

“Li Su, I didn’t expect to see you here,” Bi Luo quietly approached Li Su. The last time they met, she wanted to invite him to join the Azure Mist Sect. With his Golden Core cultivation, Li Su had slain a fourth-order demonic beast, a feat that had amazed everyone.

Back at the Azure Mist Sect, Bi Luo couldn’t help but think of Li Su, and she was delighted to encounter him at the Ascension Grand Conference.

His words stirred up commotion among many of the cultivators present. This is quite the recruitment pitch, Li Su thought.

The Seven Great Sects already controlled a significant portion of the cultivation resources in the Northern Region, and this new sect’s heritage site was no different. They claimed ninety and a half percent, leaving only half a percent for others. Despite the apparent danger, some cultivators were still willing to take on the risky task.

However, after closer consideration, Li Su realized this allocation ratio wasn’t unreasonable. After all, the vast majority of cultivators in the Northern Region who had reached the Golden Core level or higher were already part of the Seven Great Sects.

“Li Su, there should be many valuable items inside this sect’s legacy site, but it’s also quite dangerous. It’s filled with ancient restrictions that are challenging to handle, not to mention numerous beasts. If you want to enter, it’s best to join us,” Bi Luo suggested, sending Li Su a message confirming his suspicions.

While it might not be entirely fair to label them as expendable, the Seven Great Sects were indeed seeking resources, and half a percent of resources still amounted to a substantial share. With the Seven Great Sects collectively taking ninety and a half percent, the weaker sects might only receive half a percent. If you desired cultivation resources, you had to compete for them.

“Master, are you interested?” Li Su asked, turning to the sect leader. The sect leader, now at the Nascent Soul stage, was already facing a shortage of cultivation resources, but she was hesitant to get involved in external matters. She had accompanied Li Su on this journey.

“Master, the Flying Immortal Sect is also a Northern Region sect. We might not have been considered in the past, but now we can be recognized as one of the Eight Great Sects,” Li Su explained. Nearby, Bi Luo was puzzled and curious, hearing Li Su mention “one of the Eight Great Sects.” She looked at Li Su and the sect leader with confusion.

“Master, it’s time for the Flying Immortal Sect to enter a bigger stage. Come with me, and I’ll help you secure what we rightfully deserve,” Li Su urged. After his words, he took the sect leader’s hand, causing her to hesitate for a moment. Her aunt, standing beside her, also looked intrigued. Was Li Su making such a bold move?

Then, Li Su released a surge of his Nascent Soul-level aura. This sudden display of power instantly startled all the cultivators on the square. Each one of them felt an overwhelming sense of trepidation.
