Ren Tu True Sage’s perspective is much higher than Elder Duan Liang, who is responsible for Cultivation Techniques.
With a calculation, he realized that this technique might even be more powerful than the original—indeed, he held this improvent in high regard.
He wanted to contact Duan Liang for more details, but his disciples told him that Elder Duan Liang had gone to the Yellow Sky Plate.
What happened next doesn’t need much explanation; news from the Yellow Sky side kept coming, even including Feng Jun assisting others in Nascent Soul formation.
Ren Tu True Sage’s curiosity about Yi Jue and Feng Jun grew even stronger, but like Luan Xiong True Sage, he calculated and knew a new world would appear at the Xuanhuang and Yuangang border, confird by the news his disciples had gathered.
In fact, he also calculated that Xuanhuang and Yuangang invited several True Sage assistants, most likely from the Eighteen Paths.
Ren Tu True Sage was interested in the new world but also cared about his reputation. Yuangang and Xuanhuang were clearly trying to prevent excessive intervention from other Seven Sects into the new world—the Eighteen Paths were ultimately weaker than the Seven Sects.
Since these two sects didn’t issue an invitation, he wouldn’t voluntarily go, although with his reputation and combat strength, his standing was even higher than Luan Xiong True Sage—although Luan Xiong was unreasonable and strong, the biggest halo above him was "Heaven’s Pride."
Luan Xiong might surpass Ren Tu True Sage in the future, but at present, Ren Tu’s position was bigger.
With his pride and understanding of the two sects’ intentions, he definitely wouldn’t actively seek them out.
Later, he heard that Duan Liang took several True Immortals from his sect to explore the new world, and he even found out it was an Insect World centered around the Incense Offering Deity System.
His appearance here today was half coincidence, half intentional because he noticed Feng Jun and knew Feng Jun had so friendship with the recently advanced group of True Immortals, so he not only asked them questions but also calculated.
Then he learned that Feng Jun visited the Hot Spring Plate relatively frequently, unfortunately without much regularity.
The lack of regularity didn’t matter, as the Nascent Soul formation by the group of True Immortals led to the Hot Spring Plat’s drawbacks being noticed by the Taixu Sect, prompting soone to exploit it, leading to the Yuan Family no longer being able to operate there.
Being unable to operate ant honestly leaving; the group of True Immortals had given rise to at least two True Immortals, including Wu Xiu, as long as he knew when to let go and didn’t intend to manage the Hot Spring Plat as ancestral property, people generally wouldn’t bother him.
The group of True Immortals smoothly disentangled themselves, but the next successor faced so difficulties. Everyone knew that output and profits here were quite good, allowing them to gain a lot—if all was handed over, wouldn’t it be offending Wu Xiu and the group of True Immortals for nothing?
Eventually, soone sought out the Ren Tu True Sage line to take on this task.
Ren Tu True Sage signaled that whoever went to the Hot Spring Plat must beware—upon spotting Feng Jun and Yi Jue’s whereabouts, they must treat them respectfully and report promptly.
However, establishing a warning system on the Hot Spring Plat wasn’t easy, previously dominated by the Yuan Family. The new arrivals couldn’t build such a system within a year or two.
But even so, the new manager dared not ignore Ren Tu True Sage’s instructions and started slowly—they didn’t occupy the Taixu’s inherent territory but rather a mineral-rich plate intertwined with various powers.
Even if the Yuan Family expanded significantly, on this plate, the Taixu Sect’s tourism business was the best.
Today, Feng Jun and team were detected when a newly established monitoring system worked—True Sage presence alarm.
True Sage is easily sensed, yet not easy to detect.
Easily sensed because smaller plates of Tianqin couldn’t contain True Sage’s Cultivation level or provide for True Sage Cultivation.
Not easy because if True Sage wished to conceal their Cultivation level, few could detect presence.
Angler True Sage didn’t intend to release Cultivation level, yet instinctually guarded it during first cross-world travel with Feng Jun, not out of distrust—ultimately unlike Insect World’s within-world teleportation.
Once reassured at Hot Spring Plat, familiar Spiritual Energy relieved Angler True Sage’s guard.
However, even this brief release was caught, indicating True Sage present on Hot Spring Plat.
This detection left the manager helpless; rely fabricating monitoring story led... to True Sage arrival?
No matter their thoughts, reporting was necessary; whatever upper reaction didn’t concern them, failure to report had dire consequences.
Ren Tu Sage voiced out, not expecting imdiate Feng Jun discovery, thinking one or two years per news was good enough, yet soone reported discovering True Sage, prompting personal investigation.
He didn’t use his actual form, instead sent Nascent Soul—mainly due to easier operation and ti-saving.
Upon arrival, true fortune was realized, not only was Yi Jue present, but Angler True Sage too.
Now higher-level cultivators of Tianqin Plane learned that Angler True Sage appeared during Yuangang and Xuanhuang’s boundary-breaking actions, adhering to the default Seven Sects’ Eighteen Paths rule whereby Angler True Sage should handle new world matters.
He was just thinking about how to negotiate with the other party when he was already detected by the Angler True Sage, so he made a leisurely appearance.
The Angler True Sage questioned Yi Jue about Duan Liang’s whereabouts, which was actually a hint: I know what you’re up to.
After listening to Yi Jue’s response, he nodded again, "Then why have you co here?"
The Angler True Sage had already guessed this fellow’s thoughts, but he watched coldly without speaking—I want to see how you will explain yourself.
Yi Jue dared not show disrespect to her forr sect elder, "We were battling in the Insect World for a while and planned to return for a short rest before heading back."
Ren Tu True Sage always wore a cold face, unchanged for a thousand years, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Resting, why did you co here?"
Yi Jue hesitated for a mont, aware of Feng Jun’s cautious thoughts, but decided to shoulder the responsibility, "It’s actually a test, to see where we could teleport from the Insect World, but unexpectedly we disturbed the True Sage, my apologies."
Ren Tu slightly shook his head and looked at Feng Jun, "Speaking of teleportation, this must be Kunhao’s Feng Xiaoyou."
The True Sage, weighed down by his reputation, found it hard to lower his status, but lowering himself for a re Small Golden Core did not harm his image at all. Instead, having investigated Feng Jun for a while, maintaining a pretense now could easily lead to ridicule if seen through.
Feng Jun respectfully bowed deeply and replied, "My humble na is not worth ntioning, and I fear it sullies the True Sage’s ears."
"No need to be so humble, I know you have so skills," Ren Tu True Sage’s expression remained cold, yet his words were not harsh, "Duan Liang has ntioned you, saying you’ve been of great assistance during this journey to the Insect World. Why aren’t you together?"
Feng Jun spread his hands helplessly, "It was Elder Duan Liang’s insistence to separate. Perhaps he thought sa-sect mbers would cooperate more smoothly, as the number doesn’t equate to combat strength."
Ren Tu’s brows slightly furrowed, but his tone did not change at all, "You managed to co out like this, but they couldn’t, could they?"
Seeing his seemingly accusatory intent, Yi Jue imdiately spoke up, well aware of this True Sage’s terrible temper. The old saying isn’t wrong; there’s no mistake in the nickna, "Reporting to True Sage, it was Elder Duan Liang’s firm decision."
Unexpectedly, Ren Tu True Sage wasn’t angry; he just shook his head again, "Then aren’t they in great danger in the Insect World?"
His tone didn’t rise or fall, not as if blaming anyone, but the Angler True Sage couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
Seeing everyone turn their heads to look at him, he casually smiled, "Is it starting already?"
Ren Tu couldn’t be bothered with him and continued to ask seriously, "Are the Insects that powerful? So many of you returned to rest."
Yi Jue had already guessed what he was going to say, but as he was her forr elder, she couldn’t ignore it, so she replied, "Not so much powerful, we just didn’t want to be discovered by the local Human Race."
Ren Tu’s brows couldn’t help but raise, clearly unexpected, "Can there be Human Race in the Insect World?"
Yi Jue nodded, "Yes, and the direction of the Human Race society has shifted...because there are no Spirit Stones there."
"It’s normal not wanting to be discovered," Ren Tu True Sage nodded, speaking with understatent, "Since you are cultivators, you indeed shouldn’t be affected by the Mortal Realm... Is the Human Race living very hard?"
"Hehe," the Angler True Sage let out another light laugh but remained silent.
Ren Tu True Sage turned his head, giving him a cold look, "Got a throat problem? Want to clear it for you?"
The Angler True Sage rolled his eyes towards the sky, ignoring him.
Yi Jue had understood Ren Tu’s intention. It wasn’t just her; everyone sowhat understood, but no one dared speak.
So, she had to continue answering, and with respect for her forr master, she couldn’t deceive him, "The Human Race should be quite difficult. We helped them fight a battle, as there were too many insects, and ca back for a rest before continuing the fight."
"Are there many insects?" Ren Tu True Sage’s eyebrows furrowed again, "How many?"
"In this ongoing battle, there are seven or eight billion insects."
Ren Tu True Sage, who always maintained a composed expression, couldn’t help but be surprised, "Seven or eight billion?"
Yi Jue hadn’t finished, "Over a hundred Nascent Souls, tens of thousands of Golden Cores."
This ti Ren Tu True Sage was thoroughly shocked. Seeing over a hundred Nascent Souls, he would also run away, not to ntion tens of thousands of Golden Cores.
After a long period of silence, he asked, "Are there any divine descents or the like?"
Truly, a seasoned True Sage, considering all the right questions.
