April 1st.
The "Immortal Sect Grand Assembly" begins!
Today, the gates of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion" are wide open, welcoming cultivators from all sides.
Yun Zhenting, Yun Tianzhong, Yun Tiankong, Yun Zhaozhao...
All core members of the Yun family, including the "Little Spirit Monkey King," are busy attending to the cultivators who have come to witness the ceremony.
The monkey is not very pleased.
Once again, someone treated it like a pet, and even reached out to stroke its furry head.
"Heh, Patriarch Yun, this monkey is quite adorable. Its spiritual energy fluctuations are very strong, already reaching the Foundation Establishment realm. Is it perhaps your pet?"
*Crack!*
The monkey bared its teeth and bit down fiercely.
The other party was a Golden Core cultivator, powerful and quick to react. He immediately retracted his hand, and the monkey bit only air.
The other cultivator chuckled.
"Patriarch Yun, your pet has quite a wild temper!"
Yun Zhenting smiled and said.
"Fellow Daoist, please do not joke! This monkey is not my pet; it is the spirit pet of that senior...!"
That senior, who could it be?
Who else but the "super powerful," "super mysterious," and "super formidable" senior backing the Yun family!
Recently, the cultivation world has been abuzz.
The Yun family's rapid rise is all thanks to a "wise and omnipotent" senior protecting them from behind.
How powerful is that "mysterious senior"?
Let me put it this way: this immortal mansion relic was originally the "mysterious senior's" personal property. He specifically gave it to the Yun family to look after them!
Giving away an immortal mansion relic as a gift, just like that, who else can do that?
Just tell me, isn't that impressive!
Such an impressive "mysterious senior" is conservatively estimated to have reached the "Body Integration realm."
Formidable beyond compare!
The cultivator immediately ceased his jesting. Although he was the sect leader of the Chong Xuan Sect, he dared not show the slightest disrespect to the Little Spirit Monkey King. On the contrary, there was a hint of obsequiousness in his expression.
"Esteemed Spirit Pet, I apologize for my earlier jest. Please do not take offense! Heh, if there's an opportunity, I hope you might introduce me. I wish to pay my respects to the senior..."
The monkey rolled its eyes.
Go to hell!
You're the spirit pet, and your whole family are spirit pets!
This monkey has no relation to that human!
If there is any relation, it will be in the near future, when this monkey beats him black and blue, forces him to kneel, and sings "Conquer" line by line.
Thus conquered by you, drinking the poison you hid...
Uh, how does the monkey know "Conquer"?
This is a sad story.
Recently, the Little Spirit Monkey King, in its arrogance, went to "spar" with Hao Ren again.
It was dealt with again.
Hao Ren was inventive this time. After thoroughly crushing the Little Spirit Monkey King on the ground, he made it kneel and sing "Conquer."
The monkey couldn't speak, so its rendition of "Conquer" was like this.
Jijijijijijiji, jijijijijijiji...
Just thinking about it brings tears to its eyes!
...
Chong Xuanzi, the sect leader of the "Chong Xuan Sect," flattered the Little Spirit Monkey King for a while. The monkey, lost in the pleasant fantasy of "utterly defeating Hao Ren," paid no attention to Chong Xuanzi.
Chong Xuanzi felt unrewarded for his efforts.
He shook his head inwardly, thinking that a pet was just a pet, with no future!
Chong Xuanzi turned his attention to Yun Zhenting beside him and said with a smile.
"Patriarch Yun, congratulations, congratulations!"
Chong Xuanzi was adept at social graces and excelled at networking. He recognized the Yun family's potential for growth and was convinced that their future was limitless. He immediately showered them with elaborate praise.
"The Yun family is blessed with abundant talent, and coupled with the profound heritage of the Immortal Mansion, the rise of the Yun Family Immortal Mansion is unstoppable! From now on, the cultivation forces in the Eastern Desolate Mountain Range will look to the Yun Family Immortal Mansion as their leader!"
Yun Zhenting harbored no ambition for "dominance."
Being the "leader" of the cultivation forces in the Eastern Desolate Mountain Range held no appeal for him.
Yun Zhenting only wished to serve the "senior" well, cultivate in peace, and diligently "deify."
Yun Zhenting waved his hand and said modestly.
"Fellow Daoist, you jest. My Yun family has only achieved minor development under the senior's shade. We dare not contend with any of you!"
Chong Xuanzi considered Yun Zhenting to be too modest. He advised him.
"Patriarch Yun, I speak from the heart! With the current strength of the Yun Family Immortal Mansion, you can completely dominate the Eastern Desolate Mountain Range..."
"Patriarch Yun, do not be too humble. The cultivation forces in our Eastern Desolate Mountain Range have always been relatively weak. The 'Cave Profound Secret Realm' is about to open, and the new 'Hidden Dragon Ranking' competition will be held soon..."
"In the previous session, the Eastern Desolate Mountain Range performed poorly. In this session, Patriarch Yun, your Yun family must lead us Eastern Desolate cultivators to victory!"
Cave Profound Secret Realm?
Hidden Dragon Ranking?
Yun Zhenting had heard of these two terms before.
Every hundred years, the "Cave Profound Secret Realm" would open on its own.
This ancient secret realm, a small world unto itself, contained various rare heavenly treasures. Many "divine medicines" that had gone extinct in the Great Thousand Worlds still existed in small quantities within the "Cave Profound Secret Realm."
Legend has it that some cultivators found "Dragon Pattern Grass" in the "Cave Profound Secret Realm."
"Dragon Pattern Grass" is an ultimate-grade heavenly treasure!
This "divine medicine" is the main ingredient for refining "Dragon Pattern Pills."
"Dragon Pattern Pills" are considered heavenly treasures of unparalleled power.
These pills can increase the number of dragon patterns on a cultivator's Golden Core.
As everyone knows, the number of dragon patterns on a cultivator's Golden Core represents their potential and aptitude, and how far they can go in the future.
Generally speaking, cultivators with fewer than three dragon patterns have little chance of "forming a Nascent Soul" and becoming a "Nascent Soul Ancestor."
However, for cultivators with seven or more dragon patterns, as long as they cultivate diligently, becoming a "Nascent Soul Ancestor" is a certainty.
One can imagine how important "Dragon Pattern Pills" are to Golden Core cultivators.
Even if you are a waste of a Golden Core with one dragon pattern, as long as you consume enough "Dragon Pattern Pills," you can still have the opportunity to become a "Seven Dragon Pattern Golden Core," and thus successfully "form a Nascent Soul," becoming a "Nascent Soul Ancestor"!
The benefits of the "Cave Profound Secret Realm" extend far beyond "Dragon Pattern Grass." There are countless heavenly treasures, endless opportunities, and various fortuitous encounters.
Some individuals have obtained the "Dragon Elephant Legacy" in the "Cave Profound Secret Realm," their cultivation skyrocketing, and they quickly became super-powered figures who could suppress one region.
Others have found a "Medusa Egg" in the "Cave Profound Secret Realm," hatched a divine beast "Medusa," which could serve as both a pet and a dual cultivation partner, bringing endless joy!
...
The "Cave Profound Secret Realm" is so beneficial that every cultivator wants to enter and gain something.
However, the "Cave Profound Secret Realm" contains peculiar laws of the small world. "Nascent Soul Ancestors" and cultivators of higher realms, upon entering, will immediately be annihilated by the laws of the small world.
Only Golden Core cultivators and those below the Golden Core realm can enter the "Cave Profound Secret Realm."
