"You... you’re doing this on purpose!"
Lin Mu clenched his fist, stared fiercely at the Biluo Saintess, and said bitterly, "Brother Ling, except for slightly lower cultivation, ranked at the top in all other tests. On what grounds do you refuse him!"
"Refusal is refusal!"
Biluo Saintess shook her head, "Enough, Xiao Mu, you should leave now. I need to cultivate."
"You... you..."
Lin Mu was so angry that he almost punched his chest with his fists, but he knew his sister’s decision was steadfast, and no amount of persuasion would change her mind.
"I’m so furious!"
Lin Mu glared intensely at Biluo Saintess before angrily flicking his sleeves and storming out.
Shortly after Lin Mu left, a short and skinny old man flipped down from the roof beam, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and exhaled with relief, "Phew, almost got caught by that brat in bed!"
Biluo Saintess’s mouth twitched a few tis, glared at the skinny old man, then took several deep breaths before speaking hatefully, "Elder Turtle, mind your manners, no crude jokes!"
"Hehe, Little Biluo still has such a wild character!"
The skinny old man stared at Biluo Saintess’s heaving chest and chuckled, earning another eye roll from her.
However, Biluo Saintess knew this old man’s usual temperant, so she frowned and asked solemnly, "Why did Elder Turtle want to make things difficult for that youngster? You should know, given his performance, he’s more than qualified to enter the Inner Sect. Because of this, Xiao Mu might resent as his sister."
"I have my plans, Little Biluo shouldn’t ask too much."
The skinny old man shrugged with a grin, "Alright, alright, I must go notify the other hall masters now."
Then, the skinny old man waved his hand, a blue light flashed, and from the void erged a giant elder turtle that carried the old man, vanished in an instant.
If Ling Feng were here, he would instantly recognize that this elder turtle was the sa Divine Turtle that carried Lin Mu to Mist Sea Volcano Island that day!
Biluo Saintess shook her head slightly; the Elder Turtle is one of the Three Pure Ones of East Spirit Immortal Pond, generally carefree and eccentric yet remarkably approachable as a senior expert.
It seems he is quite interested in the young man nad Ling Feng and wishes to test him. If the young man passes the test, it might indeed be a great opportunity for him.
Even if not taken as a True Disciple, receiving so guidance from a Half-Saint would still be a trendous chance.
...
Today, on the third day at Demon Sky Snow Ridge, at noon, Ling Feng and his group finally traversed the perilous regions of Demon Sky Snow Ridge and arrived at East Spirit Immortal Pond.
By now, others had reached the foot of East Spirit Immortal Pond, staring in awe at the floating Immortal Islands in the sky.
The entire East Spirit Immortal Pond seed to be a divine Phantom Realm, with eight gigantic floating Immortal Islands connected by massive iron chains, among which three slightly towered above the rest.
In the middle of all the floating Immortal Islands was a small island rely a hundred ters in periter, brimming with spiritual energy, shimring with rippling reflections, seemingly hosting a giant pool.
East Spirit Immortal Pond derived its na from this Immortal Pond.
"It’s... it’s huge!"
"Gasp... any random Immortal Island is a hundred tis bigger than the whole Iron Ice City!"
Within the islands stood towering skyscrapers reaching for the skies, majestic and grand, dominating all realms.
Under the eight floating Immortal Islands were magnificent snowy mountains, which, compared to the palatial structures atop those islands, seed like a re speck.
Before the crowd lay an imasurably vast abyss, seemingly dividing East Spirit Immortal Pond from the outside world into two contrasting realms. Without permission, barging into the Immortal Pond would only lead to perishing in the abyss.
The already arrived geniuses and heroes at East Spirit Immortal Pond were dumbstruck. Though they hailed from various major forces of Eastern Spirit Domain, they had never witnessed such grandeur and splendor.
This place is truly like the Immortal World!
Mo Sanqing too widened his eyes despite having heard countless tales of East Spirit Immortal Pond, experiencing it firsthand was truly beyond imagination.
From afar, one saw those residing on the Immortal Islands flying in wind, riding magical beasts and rare pets, laughing and conversing with grace befitting deities, instilling a sense of insignificance in others.
Is such a terrestrial Immortal Realm truly accessible to them?
"Worthily the Human Clan’s Holy Land!"
Ling Feng squinted, gazing at the Immortal Pond central to the eight islands, realizing the spiritual energy of the entire East Spirit Immortal Pond that kept those islands suspended seemingly emanated from this pond.
A soak in this Immortal Pond equated cultivating elsewhere for a century!
But openly aiming for that Immortal Pond was indeed a path to death.
After all, within East Spirit Immortal Pond not only resided Emperor Strong but even Semi-Saint skilled individuals existed; even soone like the Despicable Donkey, greedy as he was, dared not act recklessly here.
Ti passed by gradually, as more martial artists erged through Demon Sky Snow Ridge; among them, Princess Qianling and Luu Tianyi, though slightly disheveled, successfully traversed the Class A path, combined with their qualification test scores, securing entry into the Inner Sect.
Finally, by evening, beneath the Immortal Islands, two grand giant gates opened wide, lighting forth white icy beams crossing the ten-thousand-span cliff, forming thousand-span bridges reaching the snowy plain.
From behind those gates flew two silver figures — a man and a woman.
The man, handso and unmatched, tall and majestic, exuded an imnsely powerful aura, being a middle-stage Human Emperor!
The woman, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, elegantly figured, emanating an icy presence, enhancing her enigmatic allure, her cultivation surpassing the man beside her.
One on each side, each crossing an ice bridge, traversing the thousand-span ice bridges gracefully as Immortals.
"I am Zu Xiaotian, responsible for welcoming Inner Sect Disciples," the handso man stood proudly on the ice bridge, hands behind, glanced over the disciples on the snowfield, nodding slightly.
"I am Fong Ling, responsible for welcoming Outer Sect Disciples."
The stunning woman opened her red lips lightly, stating her purpose.
"Next, please submit your qualification tokens in order."
After Zu Xiaotian spoke, everyone took out their qualification tokens, with a flourish of his sleeve he collected all and placed them into a black box.
The box emitted a glow, compiling all the information and scores into a detailed list.
"Hmm."
Zu Xiaotian nodded slightly, stating calmly, "The final result is out. Next, disciples ntioned by na, follow into the Heavenly Realm."
"Heavenly Realm?"
Imdiately, soone raised their brow, voicing curiosity.
Zu Xiaotian’s lips curved into a smile, as he pointed to the Immortal Islands above, proudly saying, "Those islands above are the Heavenly Realm, brimming with spiritual energy, Inner Sect Disciples and above qualify to enter. Below is the Earth Realm, with sparse spiritual energy, where Outer Sect Disciples cultivate."
