98: Stable space cracks

"Do you have any impression of this Hundred Ghosts Sect?"

Li Haotian looked toward Lin Tianxuan. Tomorrow was Su Yao's second duel against Su Aotian, and before the official match, it was necessary to ask about the situation regarding the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

Lin Tianxuan shook his head in confusion; this Sect did not exist in his memories.

"It must be an emerging Sect. I have never heard of this Sect's name in my era. Even if it were a third-rate faction, I should have had some impression of it. It must have appeared only in the last few tens of thousands of years."

Li Haotian nodded. It seemed no information could be obtained from him. If he wanted more intelligence, he would have to go to the Sect.

Su Yao stood to the side, looking unperturbed. Her Middle Stage Nirvana Realm strength gave her immense confidence and assurance. After stepping into the Nirvana Realm, Su Yao clearly sensed a qualitative change in her Physique.

Her Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body had gained a significant amount of Life Qi. Only after stepping into Nirvana could her current Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body be considered truly activated.

Su Yao had recently discovered that her Physique had become much stronger. This was not related to Spiritual Qi absorption, but purely to her Physical Body strength.

Whenever a small wound appeared on her body, it would heal at an extremely rapid speed.

It was as if some kind of rapid-healing energy had appeared within her body. Even if she were injured, she could recover to normal in the shortest possible time. This energy, which roamed within her Physical Body, appeared in a pale red form.

As long as a wound appeared on her skin, this red energy would rush to the location of the wound at the fastest speed.

Immediately afterward, her wound would heal rapidly in a very short time, at a speed visible to the naked eye. She could sense that as long as she wasn't killed instantly, she was almost an undying existence.

"Revered Master, there is no need to worry. Your Disciple has made progress recently. Since Junior Brother can bring glory to Revered Master, I naturally can as well. After all, I am the Senior Sister!"

Su Yao confidently waved her small fist. There was no trace of fear regarding the battle, only endless desire.

She hadn't fought for a long time. Ever since the last time she accompanied her Junior Brother to participate in the Yizhang Dynasty competition, she hadn't engaged in a life-or-death struggle with anyone else.

When she first started to Cultivate, she had always sparred with others to improve her strength. Having not fought for so long, her hands had long been itching for action.

"That's true. After all, you are my Disciples, so there is indeed no need to worry too much. It was my overthinking."

Li Haotian burst into laughter. If this matter didn't concern the dignity of the Sect, he wouldn't even have taken it to heart. He could lose face, but he absolutely could not let his Revered Master lose face; the Disciples of Spirit Gathering Peak could not become a disgrace.

"How are your preparations coming along?"

Immortal Master Xuan Qing walked up from the foot of the mountain with a chuckle. He dared not neglect Spirit Gathering Peak; the Old Ancestor was still serving as an Elder at Spirit Gathering Peak. Even if he were given several times the courage, he wouldn't dare.

"Everything is prepared. Sect Master, there is no need to worry. You can rest assured regarding my Disciples."

Li Haotian said indifferently. Seeing him like this, Immortal Master Xuan Qing felt somewhat helpless. If his Disciples really lost, it would be a huge loss of face this time.

"This time, the Disciple competition is not just about Su Yao and Su Aotian; other Disciples will also participate. Any Disciple below the Heaven-Human Realm can join the competition."

"Why do you look so unconcerned? You must take this matter seriously. You absolutely cannot let Su Yao lose!"

"The competition of the other Disciples won't attract much attention regardless of the results, but there absolutely cannot be any issues with Su Yao. Otherwise, it would be an utter disgrace!"

Immortal Master Xuan Qing urged, looking at the grinning Revered Master and Disciple before him, his face filled with a helpless expression.

"When have my Disciples ever lost? You can just rest assured. When have they ever disappointed you?"

Immortal Master Xuan Qing frowned slightly, then called Li Haotian to the side.

"Regarding the matter of Zhang Hai being attacked, I think as his Revered Master, it is necessary for you to know the truth. This was not arranged by Jin Tianyang."

Li Haotian was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned. Did he really have so many enemies within the Sect?

"Are there any clues now? Or did that Disciple directly reveal who the mastermind is? I would like to see who has such a big grudge against me."

Li Haotian was clearly somewhat angry. If they were dissatisfied with him, they should fight him. What was the meaning of attacking his Disciple?

"We are not very clear about who specifically did it. That Disciple was bribed. Once we find out, I will give you an explanation."

"But I still hope that if the other party can provide compensation, we can just let this matter pass. After all, everyone is from the same Sect. There are some things you couldn't access before, but I think I should tell you now."

"We have troops stationed in a spatial fissure between the Heavenly Domain and the outside world. Have you ever wondered why we rarely see Powerhouses above the Heaven-Human Realm in the Sect? That is because these Powerhouses have all been sent to garrison this spatial fissure. They rotate every ten years, and it hasn't been long until the next rotation."

"In the past, your strength was too weak, so you probably couldn't access these things, and your Revered Master might not have told you either. In fact, there has always been a fairly stable spatial fissure with the outside world. The alien races that invaded back then attacked us from here."

Li Haotian's eyes flickered. He indeed did not know these things; this was the first time he had heard about this spatial fissure.

"Other spatial fissures are unstable. As long as the energy contained within them is overloaded, the spatial fissure will collapse. Therefore, we can find ways to have Peak Great Emperor Realm Experts deal with most spatial fissures. However, this spatial fissure has an extremely high degree of stability; even if Peak Great Emperor Realm Experts attacked with all their might, they might not be able to shake it in the slightest."

"Therefore, the various factions of the Human Race can only send troops to garrison it. Smaller factions are responsible for sending their strongest Disciples to follow the command of us Powerhouses from the major factions. Initially, it was the Purple Beast Clan and the Green Beast Clan that tore open our defense line, allowing a batch of alien races to escape inside. The battle in which your Revered Master sacrificed himself was precisely because of this matter."

"I can see that your two Disciples have good Cultivation and great talent. After they step into the Heaven-Human Realm, I hope you are willing to let go and let them go into that Fissure to hone themselves."

Immortal Master Xuan Qing looked at Li Haotian with some anticipation. This matter required him to agree; otherwise, it would likely be a no-go. After all, the Old Ancestor was still here. As long as Li Haotian didn't agree, a single word from the Old Ancestor could exempt these two Disciples from entering the spatial fissure.

"Since there is such a good opportunity, I will certainly let them go. Honing one's strength at the moment of life and death is very important."
