Chapter 1028: One thousand and twenty-six, rising strongly

Lin Jue paused briefly before continuing, "I know everyone is very concerned about our Liangyi Sect. Today, taking this opportunity, I’ll also share some updates about the sect. Thanks to the joint efforts of our elders and disciples over the past year, Liangyi Sect has managed not to disappoint. We’ve achieved some small accomplishments."

With a slight smirk, Lin Jue’s face showed a hint of pride, "Aside from the two Immortal Emperors, the number of disciples at the Immortal Monarch Level has increased more than threefold. As for disciples at the Senior Immortal Level, the growth has been similar. Although our strength still cannot compare to the Top Ten Sects, we are no longer a sect that can be easily bullied by anyone. We have no intention of making enemies with any sect or individual, but if someone truly dares to oppress us, we will not back down."

Upon hearing Lin Jue’s words, everyone couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The Liangyi Sect had truly transformed greatly compared to the past!

"Sect Master Lin’s words seem to be directed at Great Mahayana Island and the Sky Water Sect."

"Great Mahayana Island and the Sky Water Sect’s aggressive stance this time will likely end just as disappointingly as the last time."

"With Liangyi Sect having two Immortal Emperors, Great Mahayana Island and the Sky Water Sect absolutely wouldn’t gain the upper hand if they were to clash with them."

After Elder Zhao reported the situation to the sect, he turned to look at Elder Li, seeing his dazed expression. Shaking his head, Elder Zhao sighed deeply. No one had anticipated Liangyi Sect’s strong resurgence this time. Even if the Top Ten Sects combined forces, they might not be unable to eliminate Liangyi Sect. But now, with only Great Mahayana Island and the Sky Water Sect standing against them, the ultimate beneficiaries of any conflict would undoubtedly be the other Eight Great Sects.

"Let’s go back," Elder Zhao said. Staying here only invited ridicule; it was better to leave early. Their tension with Liangyi Sect naturally meant they wouldn’t join in the sect’s celebrations.

Elder Li snapped out of his daze and slowly made his way toward the ship. Initially, he had hoped that even if they couldn’t annihilate Liangyi Sect this time, they could severely cripple them. Yet history had repeated itself. Their arrival had been powerful, but their departure was humiliating. But was there any other choice? If he charged forward with his disciples, leaving safely today would be far from guaranteed.

Seeing the members of Great Mahayana Island leave, Elder Guo from the Sky Water Sect let out a long sigh and waved to the disciples he brought, making his way toward the ship. Now that Liangyi Sect stood at the same level as them, eradicating them would require a total commitment from the Sky Water Sect.

Liangyi Sect’s powerful resurgence and the strength they displayed this time left even the Top Ten Sects somewhat wary.

After learning about the situation at Liangyi Sect, the sect management council dispatched personnel for a detailed investigation. Upon evaluating Liangyi Sect’s capabilities, they upgraded the sect to a Level Seven Sect, equal in status to the Top Ten Sects. In other words, the Top Ten Sects would now become the Eleven Major Sects.

Great Mahayana Island and the Sky Water Sect entirely abandoned any thoughts of dealing with Liangyi Sect. Although the two could combine forces to confront them, the price they would have to pay was beyond what they could afford.

As the Liangyi Sect matters settled, the selection tournament for the Heaven Realm officially commenced.

A piece of news once again shocked everyone—among the disciples competing for Liangyi Sect this time were two prominent figures. One was Lu Hanmo, who had already ascended to Immortal Emperor, and the other was Luo Shu, who was only one step away from Immortal Emperor.

The tournament officially began, and disciples from sects large and small, led by their respective sects, arrived at the competition venue.

However, what everyone anticipated the most was Liangyi Sect’s team. People wanted to see what kind of individuals the two disciples were, the ones who brought Liangyi Sect from peril to prosperity and led their remarkable resurgence.

"Why isn’t Liangyi Sect here yet? It’s so nerve-wracking!"

"I’ve heard that Liangyi Sect’s powerful resurgence this time is entirely due to those two disciples."

"The Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island targeted Liangyi Sect precisely because of those two disciples."

"I’m certain those two disciples definitely possess some kind of secret."

"Everyone knows that, but who now has the strength to deal with them and uncover their secrets?"

"They wield such power that a mere hand gesture could transform a small sect into a major sect. Who else in this world could achieve that?"

"The Liangyi Sect team has arrived! Look over there!" someone exclaimed excitedly, upon spotting the members of Liangyi Sect. Liangyi Sect was now a legend, and the two disciples credited with the sect’s resurgence were legends among legends.

Luo Shu and her team of twenty, led by Elder He and Elder Yan, arrived at the competition site. Their imposing presence sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

"Those two—Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu—must be the pair known as Immortal Companions."

"Just one look at them, and you can tell they aren’t ordinary individuals."

"Liangyi Sect is so fortunate to have disciples like them."

"Exactly! If only our sect had disciples like that."

Under the admiring, envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the crowd, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, along with their group, made their way to Liangyi Sect’s designated rest area.

Just as they had settled down, a few individuals walked into their rest area.

"Lu Hanmo! Luo Shu!"

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, previously engaged in conversation with their members, turned to look upon hearing the familiar voice.

Yun Han, Xiao Yao, and Ye Lifeng entered the room.

"You’ve arrived," Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo stood up, looking at Yun Han and the other two with smiles. It had been a long time since they last saw them.

At this moment, Yun Han’s cultivation had already reached Immortal Monarch Late Stage, Xiao Yao was at Immortal Monarch Mid-Late Stage, and Ye Lifeng, slightly lagging behind, was at Senior Immortal Late Stage. Compared to Yun Han and Xiao Yao, who had been frequently training outside, Ye Lifeng’s cultivation level was considered quite commendable.

The group sat down together and started discussing their experiences over the past two years.

"At the time, Yun Han and I heard about your sect closure and specifically went to Liangyi Sect," Xiao Yao said. Upon hearing the news, he and Yun Han rushed to visit Liangyi Sect. They waited at the sect entrance for half a month, confirmed that Liangyi Sect had indeed closed, and left reluctantly.

This time, both he and Yun Han had been worried that Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo wouldn’t be able to compete. Just after registering for the tournament, they heard the news of Liangyi Sect reopening. Originally, they intended to visit and celebrate, but were held back by other matters. Since they would meet Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo during the selection tournament anyway, they decided to wait here for them.

"I also visited Liangyi Sect, but by that time, it had already closed, so I couldn’t get in," Ye Lifeng said. The Ye Family was quite far from Liangyi Sect. When he finally arrived after hearing the news, the sect had already been closed for three days. Fortunately, the couple wasn’t ordinary people. Otherwise, who knows how long it would have been before they met again.
