67: The dust has settled

“Thank you, Sect Leader, for the decree to preserve the Yuhua Peak lineage.”

Wu Wuji spoke, cupping his hands in a salute.

The Sect Leader looked at him and said, “Sit down first.”

Wu Wuji nodded and sat on a chair beside him.

The Sect Leader sat on the other side, looking at Wu Wuji. He asked, “You have already comprehended the mysteries of the Divine Aperture?”

Wu Wuji looked at the Sect Leader and nodded, “Almost, I’ve only just begun to comprehend it.”

Hearing this, the Sect Leader’s face broke into a relieved smile: “Not bad. To be able to comprehend the mysteries of the Divine Aperture means you’re close. Cultivate diligently, and in the future, it won’t be a problem.”

“There’s still some distance to go, it will probably take a long time,” Wu Wuji replied.

The Sect Leader nodded and said, “Such matters cannot be rushed; they require patience. I don’t want you to follow in your Master’s footsteps.”

“Understood.”

Wu Wuji nodded.

“Since you’ve comprehended the mysteries of the Divine Aperture, there’s a place you might want to try. Perhaps it could help you,” the Sect Leader said.

Wu Wuji: “?”

He looked at the Sect Leader, blinking: “Sect Leader, what place are you referring to?”

“Tai Xu!”

The Sect Leader uttered two words.

Hearing these two words, Wu Wuji’s expression instantly changed, becoming solemn.

“Sect Leader, are you referring to the Tai Xu Ancient Land?”

“Indeed.” The Sect Leader nodded, looking at Wu Wuji, and said, “Although this place is somewhat dangerous, it holds the mysteries of Heaven and Earth. If you go, there is a specific target there you can check out.”

As he spoke, the Sect Leader spread his hand, and a scroll appeared in his palm.

Wu Wuji looked at the scroll, then at the Sect Leader, and then took the scroll and opened it.

Looking at the route map and annotated information on the scroll, his expression became solemn.

“This target is a place in the Tai Xu Ancient Land. Whether you succeed or not depends on Opportunity. You can consider it,” the Sect Leader said slowly.

Wu Wuji put away the scroll, looked at the Sect Leader, and said, “Thank you, Sect Leader. I will consider it carefully.”

“Good, go on. There are no other matters,” the Sect Leader nodded.

Wu Wuji stood up, bowed, and then turned to leave the deliberation hall.

Watching Wu Wuji’s departing back, the Sect Leader’s gaze turned towards the sky outside the hall.

“I hope he has an Opportunity.”

The Sect Leader murmured to himself.

And just at this moment, as Wu Wuji left, two figures entered the hall right after him.

They were none other than two Grand Elders.

“Sect Leader.”

The two Grand Elders stepped forward. The Sect Leader’s gaze fell upon them: “Grand Elders, what urgent matter brings you here?”

The purple-robed old woman spoke, “Sect Leader, this old woman has come today to bid farewell. It is likely that for a period of time, the two of us will not be in the Sect.”

“Hmm?”

The Sect Leader’s brows furrowed as he looked at the two of them.

“Sect Leader, this old man must accompany her to the Yin Domain. My own tribulation is fast approaching, and this trip to the Yin Domain cannot be delayed any longer.”

The Gray-Robed Old Man spoke.

The Sect Leader instantly understood something, looking at the two of them, and said, “Is it to obtain longevity divine medicine?”

“Yes.” The purple-robed old woman nodded: “We still have some capability now, so we can give it a try.”

The Sect Leader’s brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at the two of them and said, “In recent years, there have been many rumors about the Yin Domain. The Seal in its depths has loosened. You must be careful and cautious.”

“This old woman understands, but as long as we don’t venture into the core area, I believe there shouldn’t be a problem,” the purple-robed old woman said.

The Sect Leader sighed: “Alright, since you have made up your minds, then go. I hope to receive good news from you.”

“Farewell, Sect Leader.”

The two nodded, then transformed into a white light and disappeared from the deliberation hall.

Watching the two Grand Elders leave, the Sect Leader remained silent.

“I hope they succeed…”

The Sect Leader murmured, and then he stepped out of the deliberation hall… Yuhua Peak, covered in white snow, adorned in silver.

In the back hall, a courtyard.

A cyan light flowed, fierce Qi whistled, and the air rustled.

“Swish—!”

The cyan light struck, and in the next second, Han Li stood steadily in the courtyard.

“Hoo—!”

Exhaling a breath that turned into an arrow of Qi rushing into the air, Han Li’s eyes were bright and spirited.

“It looks like it’s getting close,” Han Li smacked his lips.

Immediately, with a thought, he opened his panel.

name: Han Li.

Realm: Pulse Connecting Middle Stage!

martial arts: Fierce Tiger Fist Profound Rank Low Grade (Perfection)! Divine Travel Eight Desolations Mortal Rank High Grade (Perfection) Qing Yuan Skill Earth Rank High Grade (Minor Achievement 11%) Life-奪ing Spear Technique Profound Rank High Grade (Minor Achievement 13%) Ben Lei Fist Profound Rank Low Grade (Minor Achievement 31%)

skill: Archery (Perfection)!

Heaven and Earth Demon Seed: (Level 3 15%)

Divine Ability: Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound (Third Realm 8%) Winds Arise, Clouds Surge (First Realm 98%)

“Still two percent short…”

“It will probably take a few more days. I’ll wait until after the Breakthrough to do missions.”

Looking at the panel, Han Li’s eyes flickered.

Only the last two percent remained for Winds Arise, Clouds Surge to Breakthrough to the second stage.

Each ascent to a higher Realm brought immense changes.

The last bit, spending a few days to Breakthrough, would give him absolute confidence in completing missions.

After all, this time, the Black Tiger Stronghold target was not simple.

“Junior Brother!”

Just at this moment, a deep voice came from afar.

“Senior Brother!”

Hearing this voice, Han Li instantly recognized who it was. Looking towards the front hall, his figure moved, and he instantly headed towards the front hall.

Soon, Han Li arrived in the main hall of Yuhua Hall.

Inside the hall, Wu Wuji, clad in golden robes, appeared before him.

“Greetings, Senior Brother.”

Han Li stepped forward and bowed.

Wu Wuji looked at Han Li and said, “Your vital Qi has increased a bit again. Not bad, your strength is steadily advancing.”

“Senior Brother, you flatter me.” Han Li smiled, then said, “Senior Brother, you must have something important, right?”

“Yes, something came up.” Wu Wuji nodded, then sat on a chair beside him, looking at Han Li, and said, “Starting today, you will officially reside in Yuhua Hall. From now on, this will be considered your Daoist site.”

Han Li: “?”

Hearing this, he looked at Wu Wuji and said, “Senior Brother, has the Sect already made a decision?”

Wu Wuji nodded and said, “Yes, the Sect Leader has already issued an order for me to serve as the Yuhua Peak Master. It will soon be announced to the entire Sect, but I am still accustomed to living in my own Daoist site. You can live here in peace from now on.”

“Senior Brother is the Peak Master.”

Han Li blinked, then said, “Then congratulations, Senior Brother.”

Han Li thought it was good that Wu Wuji became the Peak Master.

In terms of strength, his Senior Brother was probably no less capable than the Peak Masters of other peaks.

For him, this was also good news.

At least, things had finally settled down completely.

“This is the feather transformation token. It will be placed on Yuhua Peak. You can also familiarize yourself with everything in the hall. With the feather transformation token, you can also use the token to access some Restrictions.”

Wu Wuji displayed the feather transformation token and placed it on a nearby table.

“Alright, no problem.” Han Li nodded.

The feather transformation token not only symbolized the identity of the Yuhua Peak Master but also had practical capabilities, such as accessing areas within the hall that had Formation Restrictions.

“Junior Brother, your Physical Body is powerful, and your vital Qi far exceeds others at the same level. You can Cultivate some body-refining martial arts. This can greatly develop the potential of your Physical Body and enhance your strength.”

Looking at Han Li, Wu Wuji spoke.

“Senior Brother, I will.” Han Li nodded.

Wu Wuji looked at him and said, “Take out your identity token for a moment.”

Han Li: “?”

Hearing this, although curious, Han Li still took out his identity token.

Taking Han Li’s identity token, Wu Wuji then took out his own identity token. Immediately, the two identity tokens were stacked together.

“Buzz—!”

A flash of light, and the identity tokens immediately glowed. Wu Wuji then handed the identity token back to Han Li.

Taking the identity token, Han Li glanced at it. The merit points on it had instantly become one hundred six thousand something.

In one go, he had given him one hundred thousand merit points.

“Senior Brother, this…”

Han Li was stunned, looking at Wu Wuji.

Wu Wuji stood up and patted him on the shoulder: “You can use these one hundred thousand merit points. It’s enough to exchange for some Cultivation resources. Cultivate well.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Han Li came back to his senses.

Suddenly having an extra one hundred thousand merit points, he was instantly rich.

“I might need to go out for a while and won’t be around for some time. If you have any questions about Cultivation, you can go find the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. I’ve already instructed them.”

Wu Wuji said.

“Yes, I understand. Senior Brother, please be careful when you’re out as well.” Han Li nodded.

“Alright, I’m leaving.” The Senior Brother smiled, and then, with a movement of his figure, he disappeared before Han Li.
