Chapter 404: Chapter 374: Fate Law!

As they were conversing, a team hurriedly packed up their tent and approached Luo Xin. The head teacher leading the team said, "Master Luo, may I ask if our team can join the queue now?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xin clicked open a document, glanced it over, and then nodded, saying, "Yes, you can join the queue now!"

"Thank you, thank you!" The other party immediately put on a smiling face, thanked Luo Xin, and then quickly took his disciples into the Demon Suppression Sect. They were courteously ushered into Welcoming Peak, a complete turnaround from their previous treatment.

At this point, a group of people nearby were clearly displeased.

"Luo Xin, what exactly do you mean? I’ve been waiting for over a week now. It’s fine if those who came before us have already joined the queue, but Old Man Wu, who only arrived this morning with his team, also managed to join the queue. Why is that?"

Luo Xin leisurely glanced at the person speaking and replied, "How should I know? The queuing mechanism was created by the Vice Head Teachers. You should ask them!"

"Alright, I will. Call out Li Lexin. I see his gall is growing, daring to defy the intentions of the Immortal Venerate. I have made it quite clear in my inquiries. The Immortal Venerate clearly stated that all those fated are eligible to listen to the preaching."

Vice Master Luo Xin lightly glanced at the person and mysteriously said, "That’s right, all those who are fated are allowed to listen to the preaching! But, where’s your Fate Law?"

"This is outrageous, you clearly have a bias!"

Seeing all of this unfold, the slightly confused Bai Tuo Sect’s Chief, Lin Feiyu, who had just arrived, was unsure of what was happening.

"Master, what should we do?" A disciple asked in a daze.

Bai Tuo Sect’s Chief, Lin Feiyu, thought for a moment and said, "Let’s head to the temporary accommodations over there and try to understand what’s happening before we decide our next move."

With that said, the group joined the refugee camp and became part of the shantytown.

As they made inquiries, the situation only became more perplexing, they didn’t manage to gather much information at all.

Left with no other options, Bai Tuo Sect’s Chief, Lin Feiyu, beckoned his disciples to build two wooden huts as temporary accommodations, where they could meditate overnight before inquiring again the next day.

Just as they completed construction, a half-meter-tall toddler, clad in a mini Taoist robe, abruptly appeared before them. There was also a ’three’ sign on his clothes.

"Wow, such a cute Immortal Child!" A lighthearted disciple exclaimed while looking at the child.

Sect Chief Lin Feiyu, however, was taken aback. He immediately paid his respects to the child and said respectfully, "Nice to meet you, Venerable Third Ancestor Immortal Child!"

Only then did the other disciples realize that this was the mysterious Immortal Child from the legendary Five Ancestors and the seat front Immortal Child of the Immortal Venerate. They followed suit and paid their respects.

With his hands behind his back and an air of a little adult, the child didn’t utter a single word, but in the blink of an eye, an illusory word-board appeared before everyone.

’If you’ve brought any treasures, hand them over!’

Bai Tuo Sect Chief Lin Feiyu was shocked and looked around anxiously.

The text in the child’s hand changed as if it were a piece of paper, clearly, it was pre-prepared by someone.

’No need to look around. No one here can spy on you or record anything. No one would know what treasures you brought.’

Seeing this, Bai Tuo Sect Chief Lin Feiyu heaved a sigh of relief, carefully taking out more than a dozen jade boxes. They were all filled with second-grade cherished spiritual objects, including an extremely precious third-grade huge treasure.

Indeed, in the current Qinglian World, third-grade spiritual objects could indeed be considered as top-tier treasures.

After he took out the items, Lin Feiyu asked nervously, "Venerable Third Ancestor, the Immortal Venerate just wants to look at these items and all of them will be returned afterward, right?"

The child didn’t pay any attention to Lin Feiyu, he opened each jade box and skillfully drew strands of aura from the treasures. His actions were casual, as if he was dealing with cabbages.

Even for a few items, he merely glanced at them and didn’t draw any aura since there was overlap and he had already drawn it before.

This disregard for his treasures, left Lin Feiyu aching inside. He was afraid the child might damage the treasures but didn’t dare to voice his concerns.

After a while, the child pushed the objects back to their original place.

’Now we’re done!’

As the words appeared, the child had already disappeared.

The people of Bai Tuo Sect stayed in a daze, only after a while did they come back to their senses and ask, "Master, is it over?"

Sect Chief Lin Feiyu’s eyes were flashing, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Let’s go and try to join the sect again."

"Master, Uncle Luo just mentioned that it would take at least one to three days in the queue!" An apprentice said.

"You wooden lump!" Lin Feiyu gave him a look and said, "We are already in the queue!"

"Ah, we’re in the queue?" The disciple asked confusedly.

"You’re really dim. What queue? It’s clearly an excuse." A fellow apprentice by his side explained: "It’s obvious that only those who brought treasures for the Five Ancestors to see are allowed to enter!"

"Then why make it so complicated?"

"Are you foolish? The Immortal Venerate is about to ascend. If it wasn’t done like this, how many people would have our determination to directly bring treasures here?"

"Exactly, with this mechanism, even fools would understand to stealthily retrieve their treasures to enter. Even if you aren’t able to enter, it’s not necessarily because you aren’t eligible. Everyone doesn’t know what everyone else brought, and with the Immortal Venerate holding everything down for now, wouldn’t more people bring treasures for inspection?"

"Oh, so that’s how it is! Why make looking at treasures so complicated!"

"It shows how thoughtful the sect is."

"....."

While chatting, they arrived at the entrance. Upon asking, they found that they could indeed enter now.

"Hey, hey, Luo Xin, this is going too far! Even those who’ve just arrived within an hour are allowed in; why can’t we go in?"

After hearing this, Lin Feiyu, the Master of Bai Tuo Sect, clearly understood the situation. He had some impressions of this fellow Daoist who was shouting, Lei Jun, the Master of Lei Hu Sect. A man of single-track thinking, but with formidable battle strength, his Thunder Magic was notorious in the Pioneer Team.

After hesitating for a moment, he approached the other party and asked softly, "Fellow Daoist Lei Jun, did you bring any treasure?"

"Treasure? What treasure? Damn it, Luo Xin, how dare you blatantly demand bribes? I must inform the Immortal Venerate about this!"

Lin Feiyu: "..."

Luo Xin: "..."

The two faced each other, speechless for a long moment.

Lin Feiyu glanced at Lei Jun, his lips moving slightly. In the end, he shook his head and walked in. Let him comprehend it himself!

Of course, it might also be possible that this guy possessed a shocking world-class treasure and was currently putting on a show.

He might silently get it later, then secretly bring it back and enter, who knows!

...

This kind of scene had been playing out almost every day over these past few months.

As for why it had become like this, ever since Wang Zijia arranged for the Five Ghosts, worried about those who were reluctant to reveal their wealth after he left. So, Wang Zijia specifically made the Five Ghosts responsible for this matter.

The specific manner, that was, the form we see today, was arranged by Li Lexin.

With the methods of the Five Ghosts now, they could do it without anyone knowing. Many people who brought their treasures to join the sect were quietly visited and questioned.

In this way, a reassurance was given to many worried people, opening up the situation.

Many auras of second and third-grade spiritual objects were collected by Wang Zijia, and his Penglai-like treasury was rapidly enriched.

It was a true search across the world. But he only searched and did not take, not having any intention to overfish.

Of course, there were also those who didn’t bring anything and didn’t realize the hint. They were stopped outside, causing all sorts of clamor.

There were actually many ways to handle this, but this was how Li Lexin chose to do it.

There were many reasons, but the main one was that Wang Zijia was about to ascend. The prestige of the Holy Land, which could be ignored in the past, was now necessary. All the necessary power plays had to be fully implemented.

...

Days passed by hurriedly, and the Demon Suppression Sect became busier as more and more sects gathered.

Now, after nearly forty years of development, the population of the Qinglian World had reached several billion, with tens of millions of cultivators.

Among them, there were hundreds of thousands of Wine Monks, but because of the short time, there wasn’t a single grand cultivator who had made a breakthrough to the Perfected one.

Apart from the fact that it was not easy for the Qinglian World to break through to the Perfected ones, the main reason was that it had only been thirty-odd years. The aptitude of the cultivators at best was of a top-grade spiritual root. Under such conditions, who could break through to the Perfected ones in such a short time?

Did they really think Perfected ones were common as cabbages?

...

On this day, as the sky gradually brightened, the whole Demon Suppression Sect sprang to life.

In the early morning light, amidst the lofty mountains where the Demon Suppression Sect was located, the morning mist had not yet dissipated when they could see the disciples of Demon Suppression Sect taking off in beams of Escape Light, beginning their various preparations.

Since its establishment, the Welcoming Peak was full for the first time. Beneath its mountain range and in many surrounding ranges, there was a dense crowd of people.

Seeing the busy Demon Suppression Sect, they gathered in groups of two or three and discussed.

"Master, what’s it like when the Immortal Venerate preaches?"

"Master, have you ever witnessed the Immortal Venerate’s sermon yourself?"

"Of course, thirty-eight years ago, I was just a novice in cultivation. Thanks to the Immortal Venerate’s preaching in the forbidden area, I was able to get where I am today."

"Yes, if it wasn’t for the Immortal Venerate’s act of opening his school widely and imparting knowledge regardless of class, how could we, as stray cultivators, have come this far."

"Back then, entering the Holy Land’s forbidden area with a nervous and skeptical mind, then three days of enlightenment, returning to the world after a year had passed, was a miraculous experience."

"Three days of enlightenment, but a year has passed in the mortal world? Is the forbidden area of the Holy Land really like the Immortal World?"

"Naturally, how else would the Immortal Venerate transcend from this Lower Realm if the Time Forbidden Area wasn’t so miraculous?"

"..."

Amid the discussions of countless people and the bustling of Demon Suppression Sect disciples, the morning sun slowly rose.

When the spiritual fog between the mountains was dispersed by the morning sun, and the time reached noon,

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a soft wave, Wang Zijia activated the only large-scale third-grade super composite array technique in this world under the supervision of many present.

All over the 300+ mountain peaks within the scope of the Demon Suppression Sect, at each mouth of the spiritual veins, as the spiritual light fluctuated violently, beams of light shot towards the sky were lit up.

Starting from the Demon Suppression Peak, it spread outwards.
