The male supporting character was actually myself.

Last time, the sect leader summoned many people at the last minute, but they missed the opportunity. This time, the gathering was brought forward, and basically everyone who wasn't in seclusion came. Even Elder Tongyan Juru, who had just emerged from seclusion at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, mingled among them, hoping to take a stroll.

Firstly, it is naturally to protect the disciples within the sect;

Secondly, this place has a majestic atmosphere and a faint ethereal aura, making it highly likely that one can find precious legacies left by ascended predecessors, which could increase the success rate of one's own ascension to immortality in the future.

Zhuang Wanhua was also among them. Her younger sister seemed to sense something and was overjoyed. "This is our golden opportunity! If we seize this crucial moment and follow your instructions, we'll definitely succeed in establishing our foundation and embark on the path to immortality again! Hiss~ that one..."

She spotted the elder with the youthful face and large breasts in the crowd at a glance. Immediately, a torrent of emotions surged within her, and she murmured to herself, "Sister, since you're not quite used to it at first, let's not flirt with those stinky men. What do you think of that girl?"

Chapter Eighteen: The Cat's Version of the Dragon's Roar

"Girl? What girl?" Zhuang Wanhua was nervous and excited, preparing to follow a large group into the secret realm for exploration. Upon hearing this, she looked over in confusion.

Just then, the elder, who was curiously looking around, also looked over, and the two locked eyes in the crowd.

Zhuang Wanhua's not particularly dazzling aura rushed straight towards the other party;

At the same time, the suppressed aura of Lin Xucheng began to erupt, pouring out from the scroll and enveloping the super-large fish that originally belonged to the fishpond.

"Meow?" This was the first time the fluffy ball had ever seen an aura emerge like a fishing net, forcibly "catching" a specific target. It hurriedly hopped over and saw a bizarre scene—the big shot who had come down from seclusion to experience the mortal world after leaving seclusion and was caught by Lin Xucheng and thrown into the fishpond was simultaneously locked onto and enveloped by two protagonist halos with different auras.

"Meow! Host, come and see! The most amazing sight in the world!" The little white cat excitedly stomped its little feet, tucked its ears and wagged its fluffy tail as if watching a tense and fierce competition. "Go Zhuang Wanhua! You are the newly chosen one of the future, snatching opportunities from your seniors is just basic stuff."

"Hey, hey, hey, Lin Xucheng, you have no sportsmanship! What's wrong with you? You're trying to forcibly seize and harm people!"

Seeing that Zhuang Wanhua's weak aura was about to lose the competition, it hopped forward and scratched her with its paw, "Go away, you want to steal Zhuang Wanhua's girl? I'll scratch you to death!"

The fluffy ball of fluff managed to grab and scratch away a lot more of the aura, temporarily blocking out the powerful aura that belonged to Lin Xucheng.

"That little girl looks...somewhat familiar." Mo Xiaofei felt an instant connection with the girl in the lowest-ranking disciple's robes when she first saw her in the crowd.

The path to immortality she pursued was somewhat unconventional, emphasizing following the natural course of things.

Therefore, after failing to make further progress in her seclusion, Mo Xiaofei did not rush to find elixirs and cultivation methods to try to complete her Great Dao like other cultivators of the same level. Instead, she chose to emerge from seclusion, calm her mind, and proceed slowly and methodically.

Eat and drink as you please, everything is for the best.

What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force. When it is time to break through, you can have an epiphany even by drinking a sip of cold water; when it is not time to break through, no amount of eating and drinking all kinds of pills will help!

So, having just emerged from seclusion, he originally planned to descend the mountain to conceal his aura and experience mortal life, becoming a reclusive observer amidst the bustling city. Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, a spatial rift in a cave dwelling left behind by an ascended senior appeared right within the sect.

Mo Xiaofei immediately concluded that this was an opportunity given to her by Haotian.

Why bother going down the mountain and pretending to be an ordinary person? Of course, we should just stroll in and explore the secret realm!

Just as she was waiting to hold the fort and let the sect disciples enter the spatial rift first, she spotted the little girl in the crowd and her eyes were glued to her.

Based on his intuition as a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert, Mo Xiaofei vaguely sensed that the final key to his breakthrough might very well lie with this junior.

"Are you a newly initiated disciple of Wanhua Peak? What's your name?" After the white cat severed the halo that Lin Xucheng had forcibly locked onto her, she stepped forward without hesitation and asked, "You haven't established your foundation yet, so it might be dangerous for you to enter the secret realm rashly."

Zhuang Wanhua's face flushed slightly for no apparent reason.

In her mind, her younger sister's charming voice advised, "Sister, don't think too much about it. I cultivate the path of love. There are many kinds of love in the world, such as romantic love, familial love, friendship, sisterly love, and teacher-student love."

As long as there is love, it doesn't matter what gender, age, or race.

This love is universal, not the narrow-minded self-pity of "you love me, I love you." Practicing the path of love means breaking free from worldly constraints and filling the world with love!

We love the whole world, and the whole world loves us; only in this way can we grasp the essence of the Way of Passion.

She paused, then asked herself in her mind, "Isn't that... the legendary Queen of the Sea?"

"Pah! What 'Empress'? Why are you so dense and clueless?" The younger sister said helplessly, "You need to broaden your horizons and have a big heart! If you are only trapped in the narrow thinking of romantic love, let alone cultivating the Great Dao of Immortality, you will probably not even be able to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

Do you understand love?

Never mind, you probably wouldn't understand. Now listen to your sister, don't overthink it, let everything take its natural course. Whether it develops into a sisterly relationship, a teacher-student relationship, or even romantic love, it will all be a rare and auspicious connection.

Seize the opportunity, I believe in you!

Zhuang Wanhua was a little dazed. The conversation in her mind ended instantly. She blushed slightly, bowed, and said softly, "Disciple Zhuang Wanhua greets senior. Master Fairy Yun Niao arranged for two senior sisters to accompany me, mainly to broaden my horizons. If I can gain a bit of luck in the secret realm, I might be able to successfully establish my foundation."

“Well, then you should come with me, so as not to hold them back and prevent them from properly exploring the secret realm.” Mo Xiaofei glanced at the two female cultivators behind her who were bowing to her, waved her hand and smiled, “You two are both at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and you are very likely to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm on this trip. It would be inconvenient to bring a junior sister with you.”

Go tell your master that Zhuang Wanhua is going in with Elder Mo to broaden her horizons.

The behemoth, the Free and Unfettered Sect, has a large number of members, and someone of Mo Xiaofei's level rarely shows up. As a result, the two disciples could only sense that the other party was very strong and of high seniority, but they did not know who he was.

Upon hearing the name "Elder Mo," the two female cultivators immediately bowed deeply in response.

They felt both relaxed and envious that Zhuang Wanhua was so lucky to be able to move around freely and find her own opportunities without having to look after others!

How did she end up being chosen by Elder Mo, who was rumored to be incredibly powerful, of high status, and fond of making friends?

Perhaps it's because he hasn't yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, making him stand out too much among a group of disciples of varying strengths?

"Does Junior Sister Wanhua have some special abilities? The sect leader personally chose her master, and she was chosen by Elder Mo right after she entered the sect." A female cultivator who had been specifically chosen to look after Junior Sister was taken aside by Elder Mo, and she was filled with envy.

Another female cultivator eagerly awaited the group's rapid progress so they could enter the secret realm as soon as possible. Upon hearing this, she casually remarked, "Hmm, that's someone else's opportunity. What does it have to do with us? Haven't you heard that Elder Mo loves helping people build good relationships? He must be trying to take care of the disciples, both protecting our junior sister who has no ability to defend herself and freeing us up—a win-win situation."

"Let's hurry and report back to our master. Once we enter the secret realm, we'll focus all our efforts on finding opportunities. I have a feeling we should be able to break through this time!"

"That's true. I heard that only disciples from our Xiaoyao Sect are allowed to enter the secret realm this time, so there's no need to worry about competition..."

Listening to their whispers, Jiang Chen couldn't help but marvel at how different the foundation of a prestigious family truly was.

In the fictional sects where the main characters encounter fierce competition and power struggles, they would kill everyone and take everything if they found something good. They would never consider the most basic principle of cultivation: that everyone has their own opportunities.

The world is full of things, the moon wanes when it is full, and water overflows when it is full. To gain some and keep some is the way to longevity. This is a principle that even the junior disciples of a major sect know, but the chosen one P arranged by the script team doesn't understand it at all.

Do you still wish to cultivate the Great Dao of Immortality?

If you were to become an immortal, how could others possibly have a good life?

"I! Refuse! To! Be! Pressed down under the giant golden finger, Lin Xucheng's protagonist halo failed in his attempt to snatch the big fish and get out of trouble. His desire for freedom and to become stronger made him extremely angry. Instantly, he burned his lifespan to coat his whole body with a layer of blood-red light shield. He gritted his teeth and slowly stood up from the peak floating in the void with his hands supporting the sky!

Jiang Chen frowned slightly as he watched this scene from the Soul Weapon's first-person perspective. Damn, why did it suddenly ignite?

It seems that the opportunities in the secret realm are indeed very important, otherwise the protagonist wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"If we don't take a gamble, we'll be killed by the Spirit-Seizing Array sooner or later; if we take a gamble, we might be able to escape far away through the spatial rift. Otherwise, once Lingya Peak closes, even if we swallow Qiu Bai Zhenren and advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, we don't know if we can escape."

Lin Xucheng secretly calculated in his heart that this spatial rift was a golden opportunity to escape and he had to seize it.

As a result, his protagonist aura began to shine brighter and brighter, and he even lost his focus, expanding outwards from Lin Xucheng as the center.

"Oh no!" The fluffy little cat's airplane ears bristled as if facing a formidable enemy. It licked its little paws and squinted its eyes, solemnly saying, "Host, be careful and hide well. This battle is not easy. If the cat goes berserk later, it won't be able to take care of you."

Jiang Chen: ...

He couldn't see the protagonist's aura bursting forth, but Yan Xuzi could.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the sect leader of the ancient sect instantly unleashed his full aura, waved his sleeves, and shouted loudly: "Disciples, listen to my command: shield your senses and wait for me to send you into the secret realm!"

"Yes!"

Everyone in the square immediately formed hand seals to completely block out their five senses.

Mo Xiaofei realized that the situation had changed and cast a spell to protect Zhuang Wanhua. She flew to Yan Xuzi's side and saw him trying to control the unstable spatial turbulence.

"I'll lend you a hand!" She was so focused on entering the secret realm to find opportunities that she didn't even notice that Yan Xuzi's right hand was still suppressing Lingya Peak.

Mo Xiaofei stepped forward and used her hands to cast spells, preventing the spatial turbulence from spreading and stabilizing the area so that the disciples inside could enter smoothly.

Jiang Chen remained silent throughout, concentrating on using his soul artifact to restrain the powerful tearing force of the spatial turbulence on Lin Xucheng, lest the protagonist's halo shine too brightly and allow him to escape smoothly.

This is no easy task.

Above, Yan Xuzi's One-Finger Zen technique suppressed it;

There is spatial turbulence in the middle trying to "snatch" people;

Lin Xucheng, who was at the bottom, was obviously using some kind of secret technique to begin a full-scale resistance.

It takes skill to trip someone up without them noticing.

"Neither of them can do it, it's my cute cat's turn." The fluffy ball stared intently at the painting, watching as Lin Xucheng challenged the sect master several levels above him and showed signs of victory. Under the golden giant hand, one could see Lin Xucheng's legs, which seemed to be standing on a red lotus and enveloped in a layer of blood-red light.

If given more room to utilize the protagonist's plot armor, he would definitely be able to defeat Yan Xuzi and disappear completely into the spatial rift.

"Roar of the Evil Dragon!" The little white cat leaped from its host's shoulder, pouncing through the air like a cute version of a tiger descending a mountain, opening its little mouth and letting out a roar, "Meow~"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen's pupils constricted sharply!

When did the little guy awaken his new ability?

A dazzling light burst forth from the fluffy ball of fur, blocking the view in front of the painting. The light condensed into a giant cat image within the painting, swallowing the peak that Yan Xuzi had suppressed into its mouth in one gulp!

Everything happened in an instant.

As Mo Xiaofei stepped forward to stabilize the spatial turbulence, Yan Xuzi, who had been sweating profusely under the impact of the Chosen One, suddenly felt relieved.

He glanced at Liu Jiangchen and noticed that the aura of fortune emanating from him was shining brightly and had drawn him into it. He couldn't help but feel grateful that Liu Jiangchen had secretly helped him, otherwise Lin Xucheng might have really taken the opportunity to escape today!

"Elder Mo, you've worked hard. I'll send the sect disciples inside right away." With Elder Mo's help, he used magic to envelop the disciples who had shielded their senses from the influence of the chosen one of destiny in spiritual energy. In just a few breaths, he sent all the disciples waiting in the square inside.

Mo Xiaofei withdrew her supernatural powers and flew into the spatial rift, leaving behind only a crisp voice: "I will go with you to protect the safety of the disciples. Sect Master, you don't need to worry."

Almost the instant her figure disappeared into the passage, the turbulent currents specially prepared for the male protagonist could no longer sense the aura of the chosen one and quickly dissipated.

"Phew!" Only then did Yan Xuzi finally breathe a sigh of relief. He glanced at Lin Xucheng, who was lying on the summit of Lingya Cliff with a face as white as paper and barely breathing, then withdrew his supernatural powers and put the scroll away.

Jiang Chen was exhausted. He sat down on the ground, panting heavily, and shook his head, saying, "Sect Master, we need to find a way to restrain Lin Xucheng. Just keeping him imprisoned like this is not a solution."

"Hey? Why didn't you go in?" The other person belatedly realized that they had left this person behind.

That's a secret realm left behind by an immortal who ascended to heaven; there must be great opportunities within!

"I won't go. Let the other fellow disciples enjoy the benefits." Jiang Chen waved his hand and patted the listless little ball of fluff.

It's clear that the protagonist's halo is too outrageous this time. Its dragon roar effectively blocked Lin Xucheng's outburst, but it also exhausted him.

Yan Xuzi understood that if it weren't for Liu Jiangchen's luck resisting him just now, all his plans would have been completely lost. So he sighed, flicked his finger, and poured two cups of top-grade spiritual tea. "What should we do then?"

Killing him is not an option—forcibly killing someone with great fortune like Lin Xucheng is not only impossible but also likely to backfire.

They couldn't contain him—that's how many days they've managed to suppress him on Lingya Peak? The eternally peaceful Lingya Peak has seen two spatial rifts appear there already;

You can't let him go, and you've seen all the evil deeds he committed in the mortal realm.

If we let him run rampant like this, the entire cultivation world will likely be ruined in his hands!

Exhausted, the little white cat lay sprawled in its host's arms, whimpering softly. It didn't forget to add, "It wasn't just twice! If my host hadn't stopped him, Feng Li'er would have taken him away from the very beginning!"

What should we do?
