Chapter 352: 100,000 Amethyst Cradle Reverands, 3000 Void Refiner Eminences

Whoosh! A figure in pristine white robes soared out from the courtyard. It was a young woman with a divine sword slung on her back, clearly a sword cultivator. Her demeanor was extraordinary, like a divine sword drawn from its sheath, radiating sword intent.

"Bei Hua, you’re here!" The black-robed youth’s eyes lit up, a glint of admiration within his pupils.

"Is it true that Li Xia has arrived?" The woman in white asked. Her gaze was sharp, with a trace of bloodlust. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com, I’ve just gotten the news. Reverend Lu Zhu is currently ushering Li Xia into Dragon Star Island," the young man in black relayed. "He’s most likely on the way to his mansion now."

The woman in white nodded slightly.

"Bei Hua, I know you aspire to become a disciple of Ancestor Dong Yang," the young man said. "From what I've gathered, Li Xia possesses remarkable talent and is also a sword cultivator. He may have the same goal as you."

"Hmph," the woman snorted, her eyes flaring with contempt. "Ancestor Dong Yang is no ordinary powerhouse. Not just any dog or cat is fit to be his successor."

"Exactly! I believe you are the most fitting candidate within the sect to inherit Ancestor Dong Yang's legacy," the black-robed young man fawned.

The woman in white furrowed her brow.

She aspired to become a disciple of Sword Immortal Dong Yang, but she was self-aware enough to recognize that achieving this goal was still a distant prospect.

"Are you here to ask me to challenge Li Xia?" she asked.

"Bei Hua," the young man began. "The Dragon Star Tournament is still more than ten years away. It's customary for us to assess the newcomers and their strengths. Kuang Long has already been taught a lesson by Senior Brother Wen Qing, so he's not a concern. But we know nothing about Li Xia. He could prove to be a formidable opponent."

"As a fellow sword cultivator, I believe you’d like to meet him, thus I came to gauge your interest," he added with a smile.

The woman in white nodded lightly.

Sword cultivators were known for their thirst for battle, and the sect encouraged friendly matches among disciples. One could say that as long as no deaths were caused, the higher-ups would not intervene in spars between the hereditary, inner, and outer disciples, no matter how brutal they were.

"Give me fifteen minutes. Then, we’ll go challenge this Junior Brother Li Xia together," the woman declared.

The young man nodded. "Senior Brother Hei Lei will join us."

"Excellent. But inform Hei Lei that I want to be the first to test Li Xia’s strength," the white-robed woman insisted.

"Understood."

...

Dragon Star Island, a vast expanse stretching thousands of li, might not be considered large if placed in the physical world. But within the Redmoon Immortal Realm, it was positively massive.

Veiled in thick fog, a plethora of invisible barriers isolated various sectors, preventing anyone from spying in.

Nevertheless, the area was packed with buildings, including halls and meticulously organized streets bustling with immortal cultivators traveling to and fro.

Guided by Lu Zhu, Wu Yuan and his followers made their way deep into Dragon Star Island.

"It seems there are many immortal cultivators on this island," Wu Yuan remarked, unable to contain his surprise. "It appears far more lively than the headquarters back in the physical world."

"Indeed, it is rather crowded here," Lu Zhu remarked with a smile. "But Heir, you must understand that around ten million disciples from our sect arrive at Dragon Star Island whenever they enter the Redmoon Immortal Realm."

The gravity of those odds struck Wu Yuan deeply, sending a shiver down his spine. It was a sobering realization.

"Our Dragon Star Immortal Sect is known for our 3000 Eminences. Each one is a super powerhouse in their own right, wielding incredible strength," Lu Zhu explained, "They are allocated residences in the depths of Dragon Star Island.”

“Heir, though you are not a Void Refiner cultivator, your talents are unmatched and your status is on par with them. Your residence also lies within the Eminence District."

Lu Zhu guided Wu Yuan further into the heart of the island, where the residences grew grander and more opulent, while the atmosphere grew quiet. Only a select few sect disciples were granted access to this exclusive area.

Before long, they arrived at their destination.

"Heir, this is your residence," Lu Zhu gestured towards a sprawling mansion that spanned several li, "Normally, if there are no matters for us to attend to, we will reside here whenever we enter the Redmoon Immortal Realm."

“Mm.” Wu Yuan's gaze swept across the mansion below him.

A mansion that occupied several li might not seem ostentatious, but within the grounds of Dragon Star Island, where the price of land was eye-watering, it was astonishingly large.

It was a symbol of prestige, a representation of his standing within the sect. On regular days, if he wished to meet with someone in the Redmoon Immortal Realm, he could simply invite guests to his mansion.

"Is that the Immortal Sea?" Wu Yuan suddenly pointed.

More than ten li away was a vast lake, shrouded in mist, with the vague outline of floating halls on the surface. It looked both luxurious and ethereal.

"Yes, that is the Immortal Sea, the center of Dragon Star Island," Lu Zhu affirmed, "The immortals of our sect live there when they enter the Redmoon Immortal Realm."

"Those with residences in the Immortal Sea make up the true core of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, the pillars upon which our sect stands." Lu Zhu continued.

“However, the exact number of immortals within our ranks remains a closely guarded secret,” he shook his head slightly.

Wu Yuan nodded thoughtfully. For a large sect, Golden Core and Amethyst Cradle disciples, as well as Void Refiner Protectorates, were akin to the branches and leaves of a mighty tree. The tree's lush foliage was naturally important and symbolized that it was thriving.

But even if all its branches and leaves were pruned, it wouldn't affect the life or death of the tree, it just wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing.

It was the immortals who formed the roots of their sect.

"With your remarkable talent, Heir, it is inevitable that you will one day have your own hall within the Immortal Sea," Lu Zhu complimented.

"There is no need to flatter me," Wu Yuan replied humbly.

Become an immortal? Even pseudo-immortals, including the weakest Divided Soul Earth Immortals, were mighty figures that he could not hope to contend with at his current level. One step at a time, he reminded himself.

Let’s head in. As Wu Yuan entered the mansion, a flood of messages entered his mind. These were all authorization notifications from the Redmoon Immortal Realm.

As a hereditary disciple of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, he would automatically be granted various permissions once his identity was verified.

Besides Southmoon Island and Dragon Star Island, there are numerous other special islands within the immortal realm? I can enter some of them, while I have no access to others. Wu Yuan took note of the various levels of authority.

These were all secrets that had eluded him in the past.

Without dwelling too much on it, he made his way to the meditation chamber.

I should read through the information about the other hereditary disciples. He retrieved the virtual immortal slip from Zhuo Haiyue.

Particularly the 30-plus Golden Core hereditary disciples. They will be my potential competitors in the Dragon Star Tournament a decade later.
