88: Chapter 88 Collection

In the blink of an eye, three months had already passed.

On this day, Lin Shen emerged from seclusion.

The communication talisman at his waist flashed.

Looking at the message coming from it, the corners of Lin Shen's mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly, and he even soared into the air, heading toward the Sect Masters Main Hall of Chiyun Valley.

During these three months, the remaining slots had been decided one after another.

Chiyun Valley gained six new slots, while the remaining twenty-odd slots were jointly carved up by the other four major Sects.

At this time, only a little over a month remained before the Secret Realm would open.

Going to the Sect Masters Main Hall now was naturally because he had received the message from the communication talisman, preparing to set off together for the Secret Realm led by the Sect.

Thinking of the Opportunity he might gain in that Secret Realm, and thinking that Qin Mang, a child of Luck, was waiting for him to harvest, a trace of anticipation couldn't help but rise in Lin Shen's heart.

...

Sect Masters Main Hall.

When Lin Shen arrived, streaks of light flashed across the sky as the people from Chiyun Valley who had obtained the slots to enter the Secret Realm arrived one after another.

Mo Xiaoyu had already arrived.

Upon seeing Lin Shen, Mo Xiaoyu's eyes instantly lit up, and she hurriedly walked over in quick steps.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

Looking at Lin Shen, Mo Xiaoyu smiled faintly.

Although Lin Shen had promised to assist her in the Secret Realm, for the sake of safety, Mo Xiaoyu's attitude became extremely enthusiastic after seeing Lin Shen.

In her heart, she was also afraid that Lin Shen would say one thing and mean another. Once they truly entered the Secret Realm, if Lin Shen went back on his word, her situation would not be so good.

Therefore, facing Lin Shen right now, her attitude naturally had to be more enthusiastic to steady the Lin Shen before her first, letting him assist her in searching for useful Opportunities after entering the Secret Realm.

After she found useful resources, even if Lin Shen moved away, she could still make gains and then honestly linger in a safe zone.

Of course, besides this factor, the reason Mo Xiaoyu's attitude began to become enthusiastic also had to do with what Mo Shenggu had previously instructed.

Thinking of Mo Shenggu's previous instructions, Mo Xiaoyu felt a myriad of mixed emotions, her mind in disarray.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Mo."

Facing the enthusiastic Mo Xiaoyu, Lin Shen smiled and cupped his hands.

Not only did he not grow closer to Mo Xiaoyu because of her enthusiasm, but instead, a trace of vigilance and guardedness grew in his heart.

Just as Mo Xiaoyu expected, his previous promise to Mo Shenggu to protect Mo Xiaoyu was merely perfunctory talk.

Once they truly entered the Secret Realm, if he encountered a useful Opportunity, he would definitely abandon Mo Xiaoyu without a second thought.

Furthermore, if necessary, he could even make use of Mo Xiaoyu first to more easily and conveniently seize the Legacy and Opportunity.

Although judging by her own cultivation and strength, Lin Shen estimated that Mo Xiaoyu could only be considered at the very bottom among these hundred-plus people.

But behind Mo Xiaoyu stood Mo Shenggu. Since Mo Shenggu had given him such precious treasures, the treasures given to Mo Xiaoyu would definitely not be weaker than his own.

Therefore, after entering the Secret Realm, he could temporarily follow by Mo Xiaoyu's side.

Once necessary, he could first use Mo Xiaoyu to trigger those life-protecting offensive items, helping himself eliminate some powerful enemies or hidden dangers.

And he could completely and purposely hide his true strength, thereby reaping the benefits as a third party,

or after obtaining enough Opportunities, once Mo Xiaoyu had exerted the very last shred of value from her body, he could likewise abandon her and leave, using the treasure-seeking compass to search for even greater Opportunities and Legacies.

Thoughts churned in his mind.

Thinking that the Mo Xiaoyu before him might play a major role, the smile on Lin Shen's face grew increasingly intense.

He took a step forward, looking respectfully at Mo Xiaoyu, and swore with a solemn vow: "Senior Sister, rest assured. Junior Brother promised Revered Master that once we enter the Secret Realm, I will guard by Senior Sister's side without leaving a single step. If any other petty scoundrels dare to show disrespect to Senior Sister, I, Lin Shen, will be the first to refuse!"

Feeling Lin Shen's respectful gaze and his solemn vows, the smile on Mo Xiaoyu's face also grew increasingly sweet.

Viewed this way, the attitude of the Lin Shen before her had not changed yet. After entering the Secret Realm, she could completely make use of Lin Shen by her side to first fight for a portion of Opportunities.

As for the aftermath, if Lin Shen used all his methods and tried his best to help her seize some Opportunities, considering her grandfather's relationship, she might also be able to back Lin Shen up a bit and help him find some Opportunities he deserved.

Of course, the premise of all this was that Lin Shen assisted her wholeheartedly; otherwise, she would have no choice but to look out for herself first.

The two of them harbored their own secret agendas in their hearts, yet their surface-level act was performed more realistically than the other.

Just as the two were chatting idly, a streak of light flashed across the sky, and Wang Boan landed quickly.

As soon as he appeared in the Sect Masters Main Hall, those who had obtained the Secret Realm slots cupped their hands respectfully one after another, calling him Senior Brother Wang.

This wasn't because Wang Boan's prestige in Chiyun Valley was that great; the main reason was that Wang Boan's Revered Master was none other than the current Valley Revered Master of Chiyun Valley—Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu.

Facing the Personal Disciple of their own Sect's Valley Revered Master, the true person in power, and bearing the heavy responsibility of developing with Chiyun Valley's resources in the future, they naturally had to put on a good surface show for Wang Boan.

Facing everyone's respectful titles, Wang Boan also smiled, waved his hand, and responded to them one by one.

Facing everyone's respectful forms of address, Wang Boan didn't feel a shred of arrogance in his heart; instead, he secretly resolved in his heart to cultivate even harder.

Because he was also very clear in his heart that everyone's respect did not stem from his own strength, but rather from respect for his identity as the Personal Disciple of the Chiyun Valley Valley Revered Master.

If he wanted to maintain this identity as a Personal Disciple, he had to cultivate hard and progress faster than everyone else.

Only in this way would Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's appreciation for him grow more and more, and only in this way would Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu value him increasingly.

Otherwise, once other Prodigies appeared, if Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu had the intention of taking on another disciple, wouldn't his prestige within Chiyun Valley be halved by others?

Wang Boan could not accept such an outcome.

What he needed to do now was to cultivate with double the effort, striving to break through to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible and genuinely enter the ranks of Chiyun Valley's core generation.

By that time, perhaps once Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's cultivation advanced even further, he would devolve the power in his hands just like the other Grand Elders.

And as Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's Personal Disciple, once Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu devolved power, the next Valley Revered Master of Chiyun Valley would very likely belong to him.

Accompanied by Wang Boan's arrival, the remaining Cultivators who had obtained the Secret Realm slots gathered together very quickly.

After everyone had gathered together, the surrounding Spiritual Qi suddenly surged, and a huge spiritual boat tore through the void and arrived.

High above in the sky, this huge spiritual boat emitted an extremely terrifying oppressive might, suspended high above everyone's heads.

"Those who have obtained slots, board the ship quickly and do not miss the hour!"

Above the spiritual boat, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's deep and resonant voice rapidly resounded in everyone's ears.
