“It’s a pity, it’s a pity that you are not a disciple of my Haoyue Immortal Sect. Now Haoyue Immortal Sect is really becoming more and more useless. In fact, no one has been able to come up here in hundreds of years. It’s not easy to come here. One came up but not from my sect. What a misfortune for the sect.”

Li Tianyan ignored the old-fashioned lament in the sea of consciousness and just asked, “Has anyone ever been here?”

“Of course, there is, my Haoyue Immortal Sect was thriving a thousand years ago. The sect was so prosperous and had countless talented disciples, but in the past few hundred years, only a few have been able to reach the thirty-ninth level. Alas, the sect is declining!”

Li Tianyan asked again, “You are not from here. Where did you come from?”

“It’s none of your business. Now that you’ve gotten through it, just leave quickly.” Qi Ling was obviously in a bad mood and his tone was not very good. After saying that, he asked Li Tianyan to be sent out of the tower.

Li Tianyan smiled, and a phantom suddenly appeared above Qi Ling. He laid on the body of the spiritual creature, licked his paws lazily and said with a smile, “Boy, you are quite arrogant. Believe it or not, I’ll swallow you up in one gulp.”

Obviously, the level of Tao Wu was much higher than Qi Ling. As soon as he noticed the opponent’s aura, Qi Ling changed from his arrogance and started to tremble, but he said with a stern expression, “I… I am the treasure of Haoyue Immortal Sect. If you eat me, Hao…Hao Yue Immortal Sect will not let you go.”

Li Tianyan laughed secretly in his heart. If the voice of this spiritual creature didn’t have a crying tone, it might be more convincing. Although he thought so in his heart, Li Tianyan’s face was still cold, “Tell me, where are you from and why do you appear in Haoyue Immortal Sect?”

Qi Ling secretly glanced at the thing above his head, “I will tell you but don’t eat me.”

“Yes.” Li Tianyan nodded, Tao Wu bared his teeth fiercely, as if dissatisfied with this decision.

When Qi Ling heard this, he immediately spoke quickly, “There is a passage in the Hengwu Continent that leads to a world with more abundant resources. My master is the Hengwu cultivator who went to a foreign continent to cultivate the realm of Immortal. In order to repay this world and Haoyue Immortal Sect, I was given as a gift for the kindness of raising my master.”

Hearing that there was indeed a passage, Li Tianyan asked again, “Where is the passage?”

“I only know the passage is a place called Tianwai Sky. If you want to enter the passage, you must be a Core Formation cultivator under the age of fifty. If you are done asking, take your weapon spirit and leave quickly.” The spiritual creature said and waved his short hand in the air, as if chasing away the god of plague.

“Where is my clearance reward?” Li Tianyan was not so easily appeased. According to usual practice, since there was a powerful assessment on the top level, there must be a reward prepared for the successful disciple.

“Go quickly, go quickly.” The spiritual creature threw out a local-level combat skill and urged again.

“This is of no use to me. You take out the things and I will choose them myself.” Li Tianyan saw this combat skill was too ordinary, and it was obvious the reward was perfunctory.

Hearing his confident words, Qi Ling was so angry that he almost evaporated on the spot, “How can anyone pick and choose when receiving a reward?”

“Come on, I want to leave quickly. There are still people waiting for me.” Li Tianyan was also impatient to stay here.

“Why don’t you give this thing to me as a reward?” Tao Wu stared at the spiritual creature with bright eyes.

The next moment, dozens of light groups floated in front of Li Tianyan’s eyes. Among them were techniques, top-quality spiritual weapons, and treasures of heaven and earth. Li Tianyan glanced at several light groups, and when he saw the Millennium Snow and Frost Dew, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately collected it without hesitation using his soul power.

The spiritual creature was relieved when he saw what Li Tianyan chose and quickly put away the other treasures. Although Millennium Snow and Frost Dew was rare, it was useless and not as valuable as other treasures.

Li Tianyan took the thing back and left the training tower, despite Tao Wu’s clamoring in the sea of consciousness. However, as soon as he came out of the tower, he noticed thousands of spiritual consciousnesses falling on him, several belonging to core formation cultivators.

Before he could stand still, a thick aura enveloped him, as if it was about to crush him. Li Tianyan was about to release his true spiritual energy to resist, but another soft true spiritual energy melted away the overbearing pressure.

In the void, the elder of Biluo Immortal Sect, a core formation cultivator, looked at Tianfan Immortal Sect and said with a cold snort, “Since he is a genius, he will be able to withstand this pressure, so why should the elder be so nervous.”

“Tianyan has just left the tower, so he must be tired. Let him rest for a while.” Although Su Yu still had that warm smile on his face, his words were protective, with a hint of refutation.

When the other factions’ elders saw Tianfan Immortal Sect’s attitude, their thoughts changed.

“You’ve had enough fun, let’s go back,” Elder Tian Min said calmly with his hands behind his back when he saw Li Tianyan coming out.

Cheng Qi had obviously been reminded by Elder Tian Min. At this time, he stood obediently in the team and stared at Li Tianyan with shining eyes.

Seeing that several people from Biluo Academy were not here, Li Tianyan knew this was not the place to talk, so he nodded to Tian Min, “Yes, Master.”

Elder Tian Min coughed lightly, and then he led a group of disciples back with great vigor. It was obvious that this place was completely surrounded, but when the group of people went, other cultivators consciously moved out of the way.

After Tianfan Immortal Sect and the others left, everyone seemed to have found their voices again, “This is the person who break the record. He looks too young. He looks like he is in his early twenties.”

If it weren’t for the crown on his head, some people believed that he was a teenager.

“I heard this person is also going to participate in this five-region competition. He should not be more than twenty-eight years old.”

“Such a terrifying monster has appeared in Tianfan Immortal Sect. Don’t let me meet him on the day of the competition.”

“How can we, a cultivator, say such depressing words? Think how helpful it would be to have a battle with such a person, it would be a worthwhile trip.”

“If you like it, go and fight him. I don’t want to get wiped out with one move.”

“Haha, let’s give this opportunity to others.”

Many of the direct disciples of Haoyue Immortal Sect also wanted to join the Five Domains Competition. When they heard the comments around them, everyone looked at each other, but no one wanted to fight with Li Tianyan.

.

When everyone from Tianfan Immortal Sect returned to the courtyard where they lived, Huo Xing took out a storage bag and handed it to Li Tianyan, “These are the five spiritual weapons won in today’s bet.”

Li Tianyan was a little surprised when he saw the spiritual weapons, “I’m afraid Biluo Academy won’t hand over the spiritual weapons so easily.”

“Indeed. The elders of Biluo Immortal Sect just came forward and took out these five brand-new spiritual weapons, which was worth the same price as those disciples’ own spiritual weapons,” Huo Xing sighed. “Thinking again, that Elder Biluo Immortal Sect is also such a rogue.”

Note

Usually, a man will use a hair crown after their crowning ceremony, where they celebrate their coming of age at 20. So hair crown can be used to identify a man’s age. Just like hairstyle in woman could determine their marriage status.

Also, I think some people from Biluo Immortal Sect accompany Biluo Academy to watch over Tao Feiwen.
