Chapter 416: Chapter 383: The current Wanyu, cannot, and will not have Immortal Seed

"My apologies, Senior Brother. I was occupied with cultivating the meridian yesterday." Wang Zijia apologetically explained with a smile.

"You don’t need to be so formal. You and Xue Feng get along so well, why do I get a different treatment? Are you saying I’m less than him?" Gu Yuebai laughed as he led Wang Zijia into the pavilion.

"Senior Brother, you’re misunderstanding but...fine, I’m at fault!" Wang Zijia conceded eventually.

"Haha!" Gu Yuebai laughed heartily. Leading Wang Zijia to the reception hall, a disciple immediately offered them tea.

Without waiting for Gu Yuebai’s instruction, Wang Zijia picked up his cup and began to drink.

"That’s more like it. You have a deep relationship with my Gu family. There’s no need to be so distant," Gu Yuebai said with a jovial expression.

"I’m aware of the care the Gu family has shown me. It can’t be minimized with a simple remark about deep relations. I remember everything and I’m truly grateful," Wang Zijia replied seriously.

"We’re all family here. There’s no need to be so formal," Gu Yuebai said, unable to hide his joyous smile. The more he looked at Wang Zijia, the more satisfied he became.

Had he not already thoroughly investigated Wang Zijia and understood his character, he would’ve even introduced Wang Zijia to a girl from his clan.

After chatting amicably for a while, Gu Yuebai finally got to the main topic.

"Junior Brother, are you here to change your status?"

Wang Zijia nodded, responding, "Hmm."

"Since you’re changing your status through me and not the Inner Sect headquarters, I’m guessing you’re not planning to mingled in the Inner Sect as a Perfected cultivator. You’re sure about wanting to focus on your Jade Fu Pulse?" Gu Yuebai inquired, while projecting a heap of virtual light screens.

Wang Zijia nodded again, "I’m used to the freedom and relaxation of the Outer Sect. I don’t plan on transferring to the Inner Sect yet. Besides, I’ve just acquired the right to open the meridians. I can’t just ignore this opportunity for my own progress, right?"

"That’s true!" Gu Yuebai agreed, nodding, "Developing in the Outer Sect isn’t all that inferior to being under a God Monarch’s guidance. You could even gain more resources. The only disadvantage would be the lack of guidance in your cultivation."

"But, as a Dao Child affiliated with the Scripture Pavilion and the Fu Tower’s preaching system, you won’t necessarily lack this guidance. So, continuing with the meridian development in the Outer Sect does seem suitable."

Wang Zijia smiled, replying, "That’s what I thought too."

"Given that you’ll be operating in the Outer Sect, we won’t have to carry out the exhaustive checks again," Gu Yuebai explained, operating on the virtual screens while glancing at Wang Zijia, he said,

"However, I need to remind you, Junior Brother, that you broke through to the Perfected Realm in the Qinglian World or Small Thousand World. You fall under the cultivators with high potential who ascended."

"Cultivators like this typically have considerable potential. Once your talisman seed exceeds the Seventh Grade and reaches Middle Three Grades, the Sect will offer plenty of incentives. Many benefits can be applied for."

"Of course, before applying for these benefits, you must complete a comprehensive examination in the Inner Sect, create a soul lamp, and officially become an Inner Sect disciple."

"The good thing is these benefits are not time-bound. You’ll be able to register and claim them whenever you want. Since you’ve already had your examination and registration during your ascension ceremony, there’s no need to do it again for the Outer Sect."

Intrigued, Wang Zijia asked, "What if I have an Immortal Seed of the upper Three Grades?"

Gu Yuebai paused, looking earnestly at Wang Zijia before saying, "In that case, Junior Brother, it would be best for you to become a repository guard in the Scripture Pavilion and not to leave for several centuries."

Surprised, Wang Zijia asked, "Why?"

"Ordinarily, it might be fine but now during the war effort...Wanyu couldn’t possibly produce an Immortal Seed!" Gu Yuebai looked at Wang Zijia vaguely, nodding towards him,

"The Bone Soul Sect wouldn’t allow it, the other major sects wouldn’t either, and we most certainly can’t have an Immortal Seed."

Wang Zijia suddenly understood the implications.

In the current situation of the Spirit Suppressing Realm, the seven major factions were in a delicate balance of power.

Usually, one Immortal Seed might be tolerable since it is merely a seed and not an actual Earth Immortal.

But now, that very thing could easily be the spark that ignites major upheavals.

"Understood! Senior Brother, please register me for a Fifth-grade Talisman Seed!"

Gu Yuebai stared at Wang Zijia for a moment before replying, "Okay, this is merely for status-change registration purposes. When joining the Inner Sect, it can be modified."

"Can I enjoy all the privileges related to being a Dao Child in the Outer Sect after this change? Like being able to enter all three regions of the Family Alliance Illusion Realm?" Wang Zijia asked.

Gu Yuebai nodded, "Of course, this is an official status change. All changes will be completed with regards to all Outer Court privileges, except for those requiring Inner Court access."

"......"

Then, the two of them continued to register a lot of information, relying mostly on Wang Zijia’s responses.

This showed that the True Man status in the Outer Sect came with certain liberties regarding personal information.

This was probably one reason why Ghost Spirit and others could sneak in and hide comfortably.

After finishing the procedures, Wang Zijia spent half a day chatting casually with Gu Yuebai before leaving to continue his meridian-opening pursuits.

.......

After being occupied for most of the day, Wang Zijia suddenly remembered something. He took out his identity card and sent a message to Yan Qimeng.

"Senior Sister Yan, are you free this evening?"

"Oh, what a surprise! You remember me as soon as you returned. What are you planning to do with your senior sister tonight?"

Whether it was because she watched Wang Zijia grow up, or because all ’big sisters’ love teasing pups, it was unknown.

Yan Qimeng, surprisingly, had moved away from her previous serious demeanor, and replied to Wang Zijia’s message with a teasing tone.

Thus leaving Wang Zijia speechless for a while.

"Senior sister, stop teasing! This Junior is terrified!"

"Hmm, that’s not like you at all, not fearing heaven or earth before advancing to the Perfected Realm. You caused plenty of trouble for me, hasn’t it been just a few months in the Lower Realm and your courage shrink?"

Wang Zijia swiftly shifted the topic, "Senior sister, are you free tonight? I would like to wander in the Immortal God Illusion."

Above the Taoist Fantasy, there were no Dao Child Illusion or God Monarch Illusion.

There was only the Immortal God Illusion frequented by the Inner Sect’s individuals, encompassing almost all of the Inner Sect’s populace.

"Mhm, indeed, you should stroll around. A large group of senior brothers was discussing you yesterday! Meet me in the illusion at that time, and I’ll take you to our little circle!"

"Alright, thank you, senior sister!"

······

Another hectic day passed by, and it was already evening when Wang Zijia returned to the White Peach Courtyard.

"I’m back!" Xiang Feifei, like a wife eagerly awaiting her husband, had been waiting in the courtyard for quite some time.

Perhaps it was because of her newfound feelings of love or because Wang Zijia had been gone for several months, or more likely, because she discovered the taste of love, she began to stick more to him more often.

She enjoyed spending time alone with Wang Zijia, indulged in small romance, and stuck together with him. Of course, only during their leisure time at night.

Wang Zijia descended from the sky, displaying a gentle smile. He nodded and asked, "How was your day down the mountain?"

"Mhm, it was pretty good. An Xingsheng handled everything and I just looked on." Xiang Feifei said somewhat shyly, "I’m new to this, I don’t know how to handle these things myself."

"You’re right not to tackle these things directly. Just oversee them; Give most matters to others. As long as you have a general understanding of the situation and manage the people well, that is enough. If you handle everything by yourself, you’ll work yourself to death." Wang Zijia replied gently.

"I understand!" said Xiang Feifei, her voice barely rising above a whisper.

Underneath the setting sun, among the peach blossom trees, a young man and woman sat conversing about life’s trivialities in the evening glow. Such simple yet wonderful moments of peace and happiness were something many people sought after but couldn’t attain.

······

After having dinner and finishing their evening chores, Wang Zijia and Xiang Feifei took a stroll through the peach orchard, not returning to the cultivation room until around seven or eight o’clock.

With a flick of his hand, he pulled out his identity card and tried to enter the Family Alliance. The thicker Illusion Technique Power surged forth.

[Detected authority of a Perfected Realm along with Dao Child’s authority. You can enter the Immortal God Illusion. Do you wish to enter?]

"Yes!"

Following Wang Zijia’s confirmation, he was greeted by the familiar sensation of being in a daze, and though the force pulling against him was much stronger than before, he could still distinctly feel that he could break free whenever he wanted.

What allowed the Family Alliance to span across Wanyu was primarily due to this Immortal God’s Illusion.

The Family Alliance was a large platform developed from top to bottom!

Initially, it started as a small circle for trading and exchange among the Sect’s ’big shots’.

Later, as each family brought along their most promising younger generation, for some unknown reason, it expanded and became the Immortal God Illusion.

As it continued to grow over countless years, the Immortal God Illusion became a fantasy platform for the Upper Realm’s advanced cultivators, encompassing the majority of Inner Sect’s cultivators.

Not only those in Perfected Realm, but also many Infant Gods, and even Yuan Shen Cultivators could occasionally be seen inside.

It was rather challenging for members of the Outer Sect to gain access. Even after reaching the Perfected Realm, they still might not be able to get in.

Apart from the disciples of Wanyu Sect, there were also people from other sects occasionally present.

As the illusion grew, disciples later established the Dao Seed Fantasy and the peripheral clan trading room platform, two new modules.

Compared to the Immortal God Illusion, these modules were specifically designed for the disciples and received hardly any attention.

It was somewhat like, these two were non-professional groups established by the Sect’s ’big shots’ for the lower-level disciples to familiarize themselves with.

······

When Wang Zijia came out of his daze, he found himself in a massive square all made of Chinese white jade.

There were already quite a few people setting up stalls and chatting around the huge square.

Looking around, they were all Perfected individuals, at least several thousand of them.

Whether they were in the sect or not, they were all able to enter.

Those in the sect only needed their identity card to enter, while those outside required special spiritual tools.
