Chapter 1645: Chapter 1645: Recruitment and Sect Inspection

"That’s true!" Huo Lingjiao thought of this and tightly held Xia Yao’s hand, "Yaoyao, you must work hard to attain the position of Heavenly Venerable and take me along for the ride."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yao’s expression turned somber.

The moment she became the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, she had sworn an oath not to compete for the position of Heavenly Venerable.

If she broke the oath, she would face divine retribution.

Moreover, once the era of prosperity reaches its peak, her mission as the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom will be complete, and what awaits her is likely the fate of previous State Preceptors.

At that time, whether she can survive is uncertain.

Thinking of this, Xia Yao became even more despondent.

"Yaoyao, why do you look so upset?"

Huo Lingjiao asked with concern.

"I..." Xia Yao sighed, unsure of how to explain to Huo Lingjiao.

She greatly envied the Flame Universe where Huo Lingjiao resided. Assuming what Ye Feng said was true, the Flame Universe was merely a lower-ranked universe, but as long as one could endure to the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, there was hope to become a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

This cultivation level would still allow for ascension.

However, the situation in the Twin Universe was different. Here, a State Preceptor was necessary to maintain universal balance, and even though a State Preceptor might be extraordinarily talented, they were not eligible to compete for the position of Heavenly Venerable.

For Xia Yao, the reality was harsh.

Ye Feng sighed and said, "Xia Yao, as the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, once vowed with her Dao Heart not to compete for the position of Heavenly Venerable. Therefore, in our Twin Universe, it’s impossible for her to attain that status."

"What?" Huo Lingjiao was shocked, "What kind of nonsense rule is that which doesn’t allow for enlightenment?"

"Alas, there’s nothing I can do." Xia Yao lightly shook her head and raised her palm, revealing the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, "This is a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Artifact, and as the State Preceptor, I have the right to use it, but after I step down, I must return it to await its next master."

"Step down?" Huo Lingjiao blinked, "Since you can step down, then after you step down, can’t you compete for the position of Heavenly Venerable?"

"I’ve sworn with my Dao Heart that regardless of my position as State Preceptor, I cannot seek enlightenment."

Ye Feng added.

"Yes, indeed." Xia Yao nodded.

Upon hearing this, Huo Lingjiao was furious, feeling that Xia Yao’s supreme cultivation talent was being wasted by the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

Xia Yao had already entered the Extreme Domain!

This kind of prodigy, if placed in the Flame Universe, would certainly have the hope of becoming enlightened and ascending once she reached the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor.

But in the Twin Universe, her path was severed.

It’s so unfair!

"Moreover, after stepping down as State Preceptor, every predecessor has succumbed to inner demons during cultivation, ending in death. I suspect there’s a conspiracy behind this."

Ye Feng spoke with a serious expression.

"How could that be?" Huo Lingjiao was shocked.

"Sect Master Ye is right; previous State Preceptors have generally died due to inner demons. It’s hard to say that someone isn’t deliberately targeting them."

Xia Yao’s expression was grave.

"I believe there must be a terrifying dispute within your Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom. Once you step down, you’ll need to quickly withdraw from the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom!" Huo Lingjiao said, "At that time, we sisters can travel the universe together. Once we both break through to the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, what is there to fear?"

The strongest in the universe is the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor.

Both Xia Yao and she have entered the Extreme Domain, and once they break through to this realm, they’d be able to suppress all powerful beings in the universe.

Of course, Ye Feng is the exception.

In Huo Lingjiao’s view, he’s simply unmatched!

"Yes, I’ve already decided to go to Sect Master Ye’s Misty Sect after stepping down." Xia Yao said, "If it’s possible, I’d like to join the Misty Sect."

"You are very welcome." Ye Feng said with a smile.

He intentionally revealed Xia Yao’s predicament to guide the conversation here. Now, with Xia Yao showing interest in joining the Misty Sect, he’s overjoyed and plans to strike while the iron is hot and persuade Huo Lingjiao to join the Misty Sect as a Supreme Elder.

"You want to join the Misty Sect?"

Huo Lingjiao raised her eyebrow, looking at Ye Feng.

"Why not?" Ye Feng smiled, "Our Misty Sect is the top sect on the Shenzhou Continent. Wouldn’t you consider joining as well?"

"What’s in it for me?" Huo Lingjiao asked.

"Our Misty Sect has a group of interesting disciples, an Immortal Fruit Festival, Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea, and various sect benefits. With your cultivation level, I can appoint you as a Supreme Elder of the sect."

Ye Feng quickly introduced.

Huo Lingjiao, a Sixty-five-layered Immortal Emperor with fighting strength reaching the Invincible Supreme Domain, if she joined the Misty Sect, not only would his cultivation level soar, but the sect would gain a powerful guardian.

"Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea?"

Huo Lingjiao wasn’t interested in other things, but upon hearing this name, her eyes widened immediately.

"Look, what is this?"

Ye Feng didn’t hesitate and produced one hundred matured Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves, handing them over.

"So fragrant! It’s indeed matured Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves. In our Flame Universe, even Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors may not possess such treasures."

Huo Lingjiao was very excited.

"So, will you join the sect?"

Ye Feng winked at Huo Lingjiao.

"I need to know how many Enlightenment Tea Leaves you have. If it’s just this much, I’m not interested." Huo Lingjiao shook her head repeatedly, "Also, I want to visit your Misty Sect. If I find it satisfactory, then I’ll join."

"Sure." Ye Feng nodded.

To enlist the genius Huo Lingjiao, he was willing to temporarily set aside the hunt for Black Prison Convicts to thoroughly showcase the foundation of the Misty Sect.

"Follow me."

Ye Feng gently waved his sleeve, taking Xia Yao and Huo Lingjiao with him into the void, disappearing from sight.

Small Universe, core region.

The three stood beneath the towering Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, looking up, they saw Realm Source floating in the sky, resembling endless purple clouds.

"What a big Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree!"

"My goodness!"

"Is that Acquired Primordial Purple Qi, also known as Realm Source, up there? How can there be so much?"

Xia Yao and Huo Lingjiao were dumbfounded.

If the news got out, and other cultivators in the universe learned there was so much Realm Source here, they’d likely go crazy with envy.

"I can create a Realm Source Treasured Bottle, obtaining Realm Source through the creation of new species, so it’s very reasonable for me to have a large amount of Realm Source!"

Ye Feng shrugged with an air of nonchalance.

This fact was known to Xia Yao, and after thinking about it briefly, she nodded in agreement.

"What is a Realm Source Treasured Bottle?"

Huo Lingjiao turned her head to look at Ye Feng.

"This is what it is." Ye Feng took out a Realm Source Treasured Bottle and handed it to Huo Lingjiao.

Clink!

As Huo Lingjiao gently tapped the Realm Source Treasured Bottle, a crisp sound emanated. She studied it for a while but discovered nothing.

"Refine this, then when you create a new species, Void Energy will flow in, which the Realm Source Treasured Bottle will convert into Realm Source."

Ye Feng explained.

"Can you give me one?" Huo Lingjiao asked.

"If you join the Misty Sect, I’ll give you one, or even a hundred!"

Ye Feng intently persuaded.

Upon hearing this, even Xia Yao felt a bit tempted.

That was a Realm Source Treasured Bottle!

For Ye Feng to offer such a gift in order to recruit Huo Lingjiao into the sect demonstrated a sincere desire for talent, making Xia Yao feel that Ye Feng was a very reliable person.

"No, I need to first inspect your Misty Sect thoroughly. If it truly impresses me, I’ll join your Misty Sect immediately, and after Yaoyao resigns from the State Preceptor position of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, she can accompany me there."

Huo Lingjiao put away the Realm Source Treasured Bottle, smiling.

"Alright, come with me."

Ye Feng led the two away from the Small Universe, and then tore through the void to reach the skies above the Misty Sect.

"This is the Misty Sect."

Ye Feng pointed downward.
