Chapter 1018: One thousand and sixteen, inquiry

"Sect Master! Feng Jianyou has been brought here," Yuan Jing spoke respectfully outside the Training Room.

"Enter!" A low, majestic voice echoed from within the Training Room.

Yuan Jing pushed the door open and escorted Feng Jianyou into the Training Room.

Jun Wuheng, who had just completed refining a Talisman, put it away before lifting his gaze toward Feng Jianyou. "Do you know Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo from the Liangyi Sect?"

A flash of surprise crossed Feng Jianyou’s eyes. "I do know them!" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo—what have they done now? Even the Sect Master is aware of them.

"Speak of your impression of them," Jun Wuheng said as he stood up and moved to a nearby chair, sitting down.

Yuan Jing stepped forward, took out a pot of tea, poured a cup, and handed it to Jun Wuheng.

Jun Wuheng accepted the teacup, used the lid to lightly brush the tea leaves floating atop the liquid, raised his hand, and took a sip.

Feng Jianyou organized his thoughts for a moment before speaking, "They are exceptionally extraordinary. It’s only been three years since their ascension to the Immortal Realm, yet their cultivation has already reached the Senior Immortal Late Stage Peak and Primary Stage Immortal Monarch. They excel in Formation techniques; the Mountain Protection Array of the Liangyi Sect in the Sea Realm was arranged by them. I haven’t interacted with them much, but during the selection competition, the two of them captured everyone’s attention, to the extent that no disciples from the Top Ten Sects dared to challenge them."

"Three years to reach Senior Immortal Late Stage Peak and Primary Stage Immortal Monarch?!" Jun Wuheng and Yuan Jing simultaneously showed expressions of shock. Some people, even after three hundred years of cultivation, might never achieve such heights.

"What are their Spirit Roots?" Jun Wuheng asked.

"Pure Spirit Roots," Feng Jianyou answered.

Jun Wuheng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Such excellent Spirit Roots—how did the Top Ten Sects let them slip away?" Disciples with Pure Spirit Root aptitude cultivate at lightning speeds. Since they ascended to the Immortal Realm, they must have passed through the Ascension Hall. Why would the elders of the Top Ten Sects refrain from recruiting such highly gifted disciples?

"This disciple does not know. Sect Master, may I ask what they have done?" Feng Jianyou asked.

"They completed the task involving the Star Origin Fruit," Jun Wuheng said with a sigh. He had only recently received the news, learning that the disciples who completed the task were newcomers to the Earth Realm. The revelation left him deeply astonished.

Feng Jianyou’s face was overcome with shock at those words. The Top Ten Sects had dispatched numerous disciples for that task, none of whom succeeded—and yet, they managed to complete it.

After considering for a moment, Feng Jianyou turned to Jun Wuheng. "Sect Master, I suspect they harbor secrets."

"Mm!" Jun Wuheng nodded in agreement. Hearing Feng Jianyou recount how Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo ascended to their current cultivation level in just three years, he had already formed the same suspicion. Without hidden secrets, their progress wouldn’t have been so rapid.

At the same time, in the Sacred Heavenly Gate, Leng Yihan was also summoned for questioning by Sect Master Dongfang Xiaohe.

"Do you know Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo of the Liangyi Sect?" Dongfang Xiaohe asked, eyeing Leng Yihan. While Leng Yihan was a relatively new disciple, he had made a lasting impression on the Sect Master.

"This disciple knows them," Leng Yihan replied respectfully.

"Describe your impressions of them," Dongfang Xiaohe said, a faint trace of interest on his face. News of the Liangyi Sect’s completion of that task had reached him, most strikingly that the task was accomplished by two new disciples.

"Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo possess Pure Spirit Root aptitudes. Their comprehension is remarkably high, and they are exceptionally skilled in Formation techniques—the Mountain Protection Array of the Liangyi Sect in the Sea Realm was arranged by them," Leng Yihan replied.

Dongfang Xiaohe nodded slightly. "Do you understand them well?"

"I’ve only interacted with them twice, it’s not enough to say I understand them," Leng Yihan answered truthfully.

"Then, do you know why they chose the Liangyi Sect—a sect of lesser standing—over joining the Top Ten Sects?" Dongfang Xiaohe asked. This question puzzled him deeply.

"This disciple does not know!" Leng Yihan said. Even if he knew something, he wouldn’t reveal it carelessly. He had always admired Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, though he hadn’t had the opportunity to form a friendship with them.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo arrived at the Yin Yang Stone, using their Divine Sense to scan it carefully. The Yin Yang Stone here was almost identical to that of the Liangyi Sect in the Sea Realm; the key difference was that the Immortal Spirit Energy within this Yin Yang Stone was many times more abundant.

The two stepped forward toward the First Ring of the Yin Yang Stone. After honing their Divine Sense through the Cultivation Tower and Light Domain, their resistance to the Yin Yang Stone’s repelling forces had significantly improved.

Soon, the two easily reached the First Ring of the Yin Yang Stone.

Just like last time, the two each claimed a side and began their cultivation.

The Liangyi Sect’s achievement in completing the mission quickly spread across the Top Ten Sects, and among numerous smaller sects and clans.

They all dispatched elders to visit the Liangyi Sect, eager to witness the Star Origin Fruit firsthand.

Lin Jue, upon learning about the influx of visitors from various sects and clans, felt a mix of excitement and pride, alongside anxiety and concern. The Liangyi Sect’s acquisition of the Star Origin Fruit would undoubtedly elevate their status, but it could also prompt others to exploit the situation to trouble the Liangyi Sect. After all, their current strength among the sects still remained too modest.
