This realm is called the Nine Realms Continent, which is divided into nine provinces.
The Hehuan Sect is located in the western part of Xuanhuang Prefecture. It is a second-tier sect and has a genuine Nascent Soul Celestial Lord presiding over it.
The immortal sects are divided into five ranks; those below the Nascent Soul stage are considered unranked.
[A sect can be called a third-tier sect if it has a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge; a sect with a Deity Transformation cultivator in charge is a second-tier sect; and those above that are first-tier and super sects.]
[Besides countless sects, there are also four great immortal dynasties, on par with the super sects, guarding the four directions and standing against demons and monsters.]
[Atop the enormous bird-beast, you are intently flipping through the book that Master Zihua, the woman in the purple dress, casually tossed to you.]
The more you look, the more awe-inspiring it becomes; this world is truly vast.
The Tianxuan region mentioned by the white-robed man is merely a prefecture within Xuanhuang Prefecture. However, at the pace of Qi Refining cultivators, it would likely take them twenty years to traverse it.
【"唳——!"】
A loud bird song interrupted your thoughts; looking up, the scene before you completely overturned your understanding.
Above the sea of clouds, a giant, blood-red, glassy lotus with a thousand petals floats in the sky, surrounded by countless magnificent palaces and pavilions, bathed in rosy light, resembling a celestial palace descending to earth.
Four celestial islands surrounded the area, their spiritual energy surging, and celestial figures soaring through the air.
Beneath the giant lotus, a raging black mist surged, seemingly alive, from which the faint wails and roars of countless ghostly beings could be heard.
"Junior sister, your cultivation has stagnated for quite some time."
[Before the birds and beasts, the figure shrouded in pink mist finished speaking and then slowly vanished from the spot.]
Upon hearing this, Master Ziwei's expression shifted several times before finally returning to calm.
The mist on her face had long since dissipated, and her amorous, peach-blossom eyes were now gazing at you with a smile.
"Lin Qingyu, I'm giving you two choices."
"Please speak, fairy sister."
You knelt obediently on the bird's back, your large eyes filled with awe and sincerity.
"I have two cultivation techniques here that suit you: the 'Dual Radiance Spirit Transformation Chapter' and the 'Thousand Threads of Love's Intent Technique.' Both are dual cultivation techniques."
You remain calm and composed, slightly straightening your posture as if listening attentively.
Seeing your composure and calm demeanor, Ziwei nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction.
"The first method can cleanse the spiritual root, evolving the pseudo-spiritual root into a true spiritual root (three spiritual roots). The second method is the founding method of my Joyful Union Sect, which allows for unrestricted dual cultivation to improve cultivation level; even with poor aptitude, the speed can rival that of a true spiritual root."
"But with your five spiritual roots... I'm afraid you'll never be able to establish your foundation."
[Dual cultivation...] You paused for a moment, then asked somewhat reluctantly:
"Fairy sister, is there no other way?"
"Of course there are, but they have nothing to do with your five spiritual roots. Even with three spiritual roots, you're not qualified to touch such techniques."
After saying that, Ziwei looked at you with a strange expression.
[After all, logically speaking, someone born with a special physique shouldn't have such poor aptitude, yet you were found to have five spiritual roots. Even that Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't help but scrutinize you for a long time.]
"Which one would the fairy sister want me to choose?"
Since we're going to practice dual cultivation anyway, we might as well go along with this senior's wishes.
[Moreover, this person clearly needs your physique for something; otherwise, why would a Golden Core cultivator say so much to a piece of trash like you?]
"I hope you will choose the first method, 'Twin Radiant Spirit Transformation Chapter,' which will better unleash the potential of your physique. After you have mastered it, you can cultivate with my nephew to help him cleanse his spiritual roots and improve his aptitude."
Upon hearing this, Ziwei no longer concealed anything.
[Actually, after detecting your spiritual root aptitude, she planned to directly refine you into a soul slave. Seeing that you were sensible, she abandoned that idea, since the effectiveness of a soul slave would be somewhat diminished.]
Is it inevitable that I'll be rejected?
However, after hearing the name Hehuan Sect, you already had a vague suspicion.
Seeing your silence, Ziwei reverted to her charming demeanor.
"Little sister, I'm not lying to you. The 'Twin Radiant Spirit Transformation Chapter' really can improve your spiritual root aptitude, but..."
【But what?】
You stare at her longingly.
"Hehehe~ It might take a while, but don't worry, my nephew is a handsome man of one in a million, countless times better than that millstone."
Is this a question of whether it looks good or not?
【Sigh~】
Looking at the flamboyant, demonic woman before you, you felt an urge to execute her on the spot.
It's a pity the gap is too big, but you silently made a vow in your heart.
Just you wait, I'll get my revenge sooner or later!
Fortune changes every three hundred years, so never underestimate a young person's potential!
The giant bird swept past the churning black mist below, soaring straight into the sky and flying towards the colossal lotus that blotted out the heavens.
Only when you reach the top of the giant red lotus can you see its layout clearly.
On each enormous lotus leaf stands a cluster of buildings, the residences of the Golden Core cultivators of the Joyful Union Sect.
"Fairy sister, does the Joyful Union Sect have so many Golden Core cultivators?"
[You're getting a chill down your spine; there must be at least a thousand palaces here, right?]
"It has never been fully occupied, but at its peak, the Hehuan Sect was the dominant force in Xuanhuang Prefecture, surpassing even the current super sects in scale. Back then, it should have had this many Golden Core cultivators."
Zizai seems to be in a good mood; she answers almost all of your questions.
Soon, the giant bird arrived outside a magnificent palace, with the three large characters "Purple Palace" inscribed on the plaque above the entrance.
"Welcome back, Master."
[Upon landing, you see dozens of figures kneeling neatly in the plaza in front of the palace.]
Zi Zi didn't speak, but led you straight into the hall.
Wandering through corridors and alleys, you are dazzled and amazed by the magnificence of the Golden Core cultivator's residence.
You think that if you could pry off two jade-like floor tiles and take them with you, you could live a carefree and happy life in the mortal realm for the rest of your days.
Soon you two arrived at the outside of a quiet and elegant pavilion.
"Yu'er, come out and see me."
Zi Yu spoke softly, her eyes gentle—an expression you'd never seen before.
The door to the attic was pushed open, and a streak of light swiftly descended before you. As the light faded, you couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
The newcomer was dressed in pristine white, with a tall and upright figure, a radiant face, and a touch of cinnabar between his brows, making him appear like a banished immortal who had strayed into the mortal world.
[The old witch wasn't lying; this kid is ridiculously handsome, much better looking than you are now.]
Looking at it this way, it does seem like a good deal?
As you thought about it, you mentally slapped yourself a few times.
[Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu, you're a grown man, don't you have any shame?]
Just as you were struggling with your inner turmoil, the two people beside you seemed to have finished greeting each other, and Master Ziwei was observing you, who was lost in thought, with great interest.
"Hehehe~ Little sister, are you blinded by my nephew?"
You forcefully suppressed the urge to strike the witch, and quickly lowered your head, looking extremely shy.
"Auntie, who is this?"
The young man in white's eyes flickered slightly.
"You've advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. This is your cultivation partner that your aunt found for you~"
Upon hearing this, the young man glanced at you casually; your appearance wasn't particularly striking. Then, his brows furrowed.
"A mortal without any cultivation?"
"A body of jade marrow."
Zi Yu's lips curled slightly, seemingly oblivious to the disdain in his eyes, and she uttered a few words lightly:
【If you don't want it...】
The next second, the white-clad youth bowed deeply to the purple-clad witch.
"Thank you, Auntie."
