An inexplicable feeling

He truly was a person rarely seen in the world!

He stood up, his figure as tall and straight as a green pine, his long, straight black hair cascading down to his waist like a starlit waterfall.

His features were so perfect they had no flaws, and his skin was delicate and fair, yet it didn't give off a feminine impression; rather, a scholarly masculinity emanated from his very bones.

Every movement was natural and effortless, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.

After he finished reading the decree in his hand,

He moved his body and bowed towards the north, performing a disciple's 禮.

"Ling Wushuang respectfully obeys Master's decree!"

This day!

The Intercepting Heaven Sect's Holy Son, carrying the Sect Master's decree and accompanied by a personal guard, left the Intercepting Heaven Sect without alarming anyone.

"Master, where are we going?"

Above the clouds, the guard, dressed in a purple-black robe, bowed and asked.

Ling Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back.

Looking down at the mountains and rivers below, he said with deep eyes, "To search for a Heavenly Talent for my Intercepting Heaven Sect."

As soon as he said this, the guard Ling Yuan was startled.

Such tasks were usually handed over to the elders of the sect, weren't they?

When did it become necessary for the Master to personally intervene?

But very quickly, he felt a chill in his heart and understood the intention of the higher-ups.

On another note, it was also an opportunity for the Master to gain experience outside!

Thinking of this, his heart trembled.

With the Master's talent, shaking the Void Domain in the future was only a matter of time.

It was even possible for him to leave the Void Domain and enter that mysterious central region of the Three Thousand Domains in the future.

This journey, he feared, would make him a witness to the Master's rise to legend.

For a moment, his heart was filled with indescribable excitement.

For him, nothing could be more exhilarating than witnessing a legend.

Ling Wushuang led his guard, advancing unimpeded.

The two passed through the clouds, leaped over valleys, and traversed mountains and seas.

If it were an ordinary person who had stayed in a sect for two hundred years, almost never having contact with the outside world, they would undoubtedly be unable to suppress their excitement upon venturing out suddenly.

But Ling Wushuang's face remained calm throughout, always maintaining that humble and tranquil demeanor.

For him, cultivation was everything.

Cultivating within the sect was cultivation, and going out to find talented disciples was also cultivation.

No matter where he was, it was all cultivation.

Just like that, the two crossed mountains when they encountered them and seas when they encountered them.

If they encountered a populated area, they would pause for a while.

Unfortunately, they didn't encounter a single Heavenly Talent who could make it onto the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

As time passed, the guard Ling Yuan grew secretly anxious.

Although the highest purpose for the sect's higher-ups to send his Master out was probably for experience,

A year's time was neither too long nor too short.

In his mind, his Master was undoubtedly the noblest and most perfect person between heaven and earth.

Not only did he cultivate at a speed that surpassed all of ancient and modern times, but any task assigned by the sect must also be carried out to perfection.

"Master, a Heavenly Talent who can make it onto the Heavenly Dao Rankings must be born in a place of outstanding individuals and spiritual energy."

"Among the Void Domain, in terms of geographical advantage, my Intercepting Heaven Sect and the other four major forces occupy the prime locations."

"Besides these, there are also counties like Chengtang, Wushi, and Huaiwei that are superior."

"Why don't we go to those places to take a look?"

Ling Wushuang shook his head.

He said indifferently, "Within the Void Domain, there are countless forces, and any blessed land will inevitably be occupied by some sect or power."

"Even if there truly is a Heavenly Talent who can make it onto the rankings, they would surely be claimed by the various major forces."

"Everything can just follow its natural course."

Ling Yuan heard this and knew he had been too eager.

However, this also made him admire his Master even more.

He had followed his Master since childhood.

In his impression, his Master had always been so amiable, and his state of mind was always uncompetitive, unhurried, and unperturbed.

With such terrifying talent, coupled with this detached state of mind that embraced the Great Dao of non-action,

It was hard to imagine what level his Master's ultimate achievements would reach?

Without a word, Ling Wushuang, accompanied by Ling Yuan, set off again.

It must be said, the Void Domain was vast!

The two had passed through many places during this time, but they hadn't lingered much.

Finally, on this day,

In the Chaotic Land.

Among the mountains, within a dilapidated temple, the two descended.

After some inquiry,

The temple was already deserted, with only a golden statue head missing an arm remaining.

It was sunset, and the brilliant light and shadows were reflected among the mountains, golden and dazzling.

Ling Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

Only by stepping into this vast world could one truly appreciate all its beauty.

"Ling Yuan, we will stay in this temple for the night," Ling Wushuang instructed calmly.

"This... Master, this temple is dilapidated. It is truly inappropriate for someone of your status to stay here."

"That's incorrect."

Ling Wushuang shook his head and said, "Although the temple is dilapidated, it is accompanied by the twilight now, and tomorrow we can enjoy the sunrise. It is truly an excellent place."

"Yes, Master."

"I will go and tidy up immediately."

The man bowed his head and turned to go tidy up the temple.

Sword Wushuang nodded, and only when the red sun had completely set, and only a golden remnant line remained on the horizon, did he turn around, still lingering, and return to the temple.

"Oh, right, Ling Yuan, where is this place?"

Ling Wushuang couldn't help but ask.

"Replying to Master, if my guess is correct, this is the Shuo North Chaotic Land."

"The Chaotic Land, huh..." Ling Wushuang mused, then said, "Then our first destination will be set in this Chaotic Land!"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, the guard Ling Yuan looked surprised and quickly said, "Master, do not be fooled by the grand-sounding name of the Chaotic Land; in reality, it is a remote and impoverished place."

"The Sect Master's task for you is to recruit as many disciples with the potential to make it onto the Heavenly Dao Rankings as possible into the sect, but in such a remote and impoverished place, even if you dig three feet deep, you might not find a single disciple who can even be associated with the Heavenly Dao Rankings."

"This year's time is neither long nor short; staying in this place is a complete waste of time."

"Even if it's not for the purpose of finding someone, but for your own experience, what kind of experience could you gain here?"

The guard Ling Yuan was utterly perplexed.

The entire Void Domain was so vast.

Why would his Master choose this place of all places?

What was this if not a waste of time?

"Is that so?"

Hearing Ling Yuan say this, Ling Wushuang also became a bit hesitant: "But I still want to explore the Chaotic Land more."

"Master, why is this, exactly?"

"This feeling is indescribable; although you say this is a remote place, ever since I arrived here, I've always had a strange feeling in my heart."

"This feeling is indescribable."

"Therefore, I'm wondering if this Chaotic Land hides my destiny, or if I can truly find one or two disciples with the potential to make it onto the Heavenly Dao Rankings here?"

"So, no matter what, let's decide on this!"

"Even if there's no gain in this Chaotic Land, let's just consider it a trip to enjoy the scenery."

"Alright, Master."

Seeing Ling Wushuang confirm again, the guard Ling Yuan finally nodded.
