51: Tianlang is subordinate, and the Eastern Wilderness is unified!

Tianlang Sect, Deliberation Hall.

The atmosphere was as heavy as iron, and the gazes of dozens of Elders were all focused on Qian Wanshan, who had just walked in from outside the hall.

"Wanshan, how was it?"

A Grand Elder with white hair and beard spoke in a dry voice.

"What was the Myriad Dao Divine Sect's attitude?"

Qian Wanshan's face was pale. He quickly walked to the center of the hall and bowed deeply to Sect Master Lin Canghai, who was seated at the head.

"Sect Master, Elders."

He swallowed, seemingly still relishing the invisible pressure within the Qingyun Branch Hall.

"That Acting Branch Master Ye... he didn't say anything."

"What?" The Grand Elder's brows instantly furrowed into a knot.

"What does 'didn't say anything' mean? Did he refuse, or is he just toying with us?"

"Neither."

Qian Wanshan carefully took out the Purple-Gold Token from his In my arms.

Buzz—

The moment the token appeared, a vast and ancient aura filled the entire hall.

All the Elders' expressions changed simultaneously.

They could feel that within this small token, there was a higher-level Law power that they couldn't comprehend.

"He only gave me this token."

Qian Wanshan's voice trembled slightly.

"He said... for you, Sect Master, to refine it."

"After refining it, you will naturally know what to do."

Inside the hall, there was a deathly silence.

All the Elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and wariness.

"Absurd!" A hot-tempered Elder suddenly stood up. "How can a token of unknown Origin be casually refined? What if it contains malicious Restrictions, wouldn't that endanger you, Sect Master...?"

"Silence!"

From the main seat, Lin Canghai, who had been silent, finally spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.

He slowly stood up, walked down the steps, came before Qian Wanshan, and personally took the Purple-Gold Token.

The token felt warm and heavy in his hand.

He could feel his Divine Soul craving the Dao rhyme contained within this token.

"Restrictions?"

Lin Canghai gave a bitter smile.

"Everyone, haven't you seen clearly yet?"

He looked around at the Elders in the hall.

"With the strength the Myriad Dao Divine Sect has displayed, if they wanted to destroy my Tianlang Sect, why would they need such despicable methods?"

"That Acting Branch Master Ye can cut down Li Piaoxue with a single sword. His Revered Master is even more unfathomable."

"This token is a test, and also an Opportunity."

He looked up, a resolute gambling spirit flashing in his eyes.

He, Lin Canghai, had been stuck at the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage for nearly three hundred years, his Dao path at an end.

This was his only chance in this life to touch a higher level!

Ignoring the Elders' dissuasion, he bit his tongue fiercely in front of everyone.

A mouthful of vital blood, containing his Origin power, sprayed onto the Purple-Gold Token!

Hiss—

The blood was instantly absorbed by the token.

Buzz!

The Purple-Gold Token glowed brightly, and an irresistible, terrifying power derived from the Law of Space instantly enveloped Lin Canghai's body.

The next instant.

Under the horrified gazes of all the Elders, their Sect Master, the pillar of the Tianlang Sect, vanished into thin air within the hall.

"Sect Master!"

"Oh no! The Sect Master is gone!"

The entire Deliberation Hall plunged into chaos and panic.

Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, Sect Master Hall.

Lin Canghai felt his Divine Soul had experienced a spacetime storm that spanned across eons.

When he regained consciousness, he was standing frozen on the spot.

What did he see?

This was not any place he knew.

Under his feet were white jade floor tiles, smooth as jade, with natural Dao patterns flowing upon them.

Above his head was a boundless starry sky dome, where every star seemed to be a real world.

Around him, colossal pillars reached straight into the clouds, carved with divine demon totems that he couldn't understand but could feel their immense power.

In the air, the Spiritual Qi, materialized into clouds and mist, surged wildly into his limbs and bones.

His cultivation Bottleneck, which had been stagnant for three hundred years, actually loosened imperceptibly with each breath!

"This... this is..."

His mind was blank.

He felt that his Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage cultivation was as insignificant as an ant that could be crushed at any moment here.

He subconsciously looked up, gazing towards the end of the grand hall.

On the white jade throne, suspended above the Nine Heavens' cloud sea, a figure sat quietly.

He couldn't see the person's face, only feeling that the person seemed to be one with the entire divine hall and this world.

He was the Dao.

He was the Law.

He was the only Dominator here.

A thought, like a flash of lightning, dispelled all of Lin Canghai's confusion and bewilderment.

Sect Master!

This was the true Sect Master of the Myriad Dao Divine Sect!

Plop!

Lin Canghai could no longer support his body, his knees buckled, and he performed a prostration towards that figure.

He buried his head deeply into the cold jade floor tiles.

"Tianlang Sect's Lin Canghai, greets... Sect Master!"

His voice trembled violently from extreme shock and reverence.

"Lin Canghai."

A calm voice came from the throne, directly resounding in his Sea of Consciousness.

Chu Xuanjin looked at the thoroughly subdued Tianlang Sect Sect Master below, his Heavenly Dao Dharma Eye having already seen through him completely.

[Name: Lin Canghai]

[Root Bone: Earth Rank Peerless Grade]

[Cultivation: Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage]

[Luck: Azure (Luck has reached its peak; without a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, Void Refining is hopeless in this life.)]

Chu Xuanjin's lips curved into a slight smile.

Indeed, he was a smart person, yet desperate.

Such a person was easiest to control.

"You have more courage than Yun Tianqing."

Chu Xuanjin's voice rang out again.

"It took him three days to make a decision. You, on the other hand, only took the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Lin Canghai's body trembled violently, and he bowed his head even lower.

"This Disciple dares not compare with Branch Revered Master Yun, it's just... it's just that this Disciple doesn't want to miss this once-in-a-myriad-years immortal Opportunity."

"Immortal Opportunity?" Chu Xuanjin chuckled softly. "Do you know the rules of my Myriad Dao Divine Sect for accepting affiliate Sects?"

"This Disciple does not know. I humbly request the Sect Master to enlighten me!"

"Very well."

Chu Xuanjin waved his hand.

A light screen appeared out of thin air before Lin Canghai.

On it, the Myriad Dao Divine Sect's complete contribution point system was clearly listed.

Methods of acquisition and the exchange list were clear at a glance.

Lin Canghai's gaze was fixed on the light screen, his breathing gradually growing heavy.

His eyes, from initial reverence, gradually turned into ecstasy, and finally, into an uncontrollable, fervent desire!

Cultivation Technique, Medicinal Pill, Magic Treasure... and even the legendary Opportunity to comprehend under the Dao Comprehension Divine Tree!

How could these be rules for an affiliate Sect!

This was clearly a golden staircase leading to the Supreme Dao!

"Sect Master..."

His voice trembled with excitement.

"These... these, can this Disciple... can my Tianlang Sect also exchange for them?"

"Naturally." Chu Xuanjin's voice carried a hint of temptation.

"As long as you can provide enough contribution."

He knew that from this moment on, the fate of his Tianlang Sect was completely bound to this divine mountain.

He suddenly looked up, prostrating heavily before Chu Xuanjin, his voice echoing through the hall.

"Disciple Lin Canghai is willing to go through fire and water for the Sect Master, even if it means dying ten thousand times!"

Chu Xuanjin nodded in satisfaction.

"Go."

He waved his hand.

"Your Sect is still waiting for you."

Lin Canghai only felt his vision blur, and the immortal-like divine hall instantly disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the familiar Deliberation Hall of the Tianlang Sect.

And before him, the Elders were surrounding him, their faces filled with anxiety and panic.

"Sect Master! You're back!"

"Sect Master, are you alright? What exactly happened just now?"

Lin Canghai looked at them and slowly straightened his body.

The panic and unease on his face had completely vanished.

In its place was an unprecedented radiance and high spirits.

He took a deep breath, channeled his Spiritual Qi, and his voice, like a grand bell, spread throughout the entire Tianlang Sect.

"Hear my command!"

"All Elders and Disciples, immediately gather at the Martial Arts Field!"

"I have a great joyous event to announce to the entire Sect!"

Half an hour later.

Tianlang Sect Martial Arts Field.

Lin Canghai stood on the high platform, looking at the tens of thousands of Disciples below, and raised the purple-gold Sect token in his hand.

"From today onwards, my Tianlang Sect is officially incorporated into the Myriad Dao Divine Sect, forever an affiliate!"

"This is an immortal Opportunity that my Tianlang Sect has not seen in ten thousand years! It is also an Opportunity for us to ascend to heaven in one step!"

He was full of vigor, his voice spreading far and wide.

The entire Eastern Barrens once again vibrated violently because of the four words "Myriad Dao Divine Sect."

Qinghe City, within the courtyard.

Chu Xuanjin picked up his teacup, gently blew away the tea leaves, and a barely perceptible smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

[Ding! Congratulations to Host for successfully subduing the second largest Sect in the Eastern Barrens, 'Tianlang Sect'!]
