Chapter 504: I’ve Really Struck It Lucky

After constantly asking for directions and taking quite a few detours, Lin Xun finally arrived at Demon Shadow Town near the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

Demon Shadow Town had already become a town controlled by Cultivators.

Therefore, when Lin Xun entered, Demon Shadow Town required registration for those entering the city.

Lin Xun suppressed his Realm to the Early Stage of the Dragon Gate Realm.

Lin Xun hid his identity, fabricated some false information, and then gave the city guards some Spirit Stones to ask for a bit of leniency.

After accepting the Spirit Stones, the Demon Shadow Sect Cultivator didn’t make things difficult at all and let Lin Xun enter the city smoothly.

Within the town, there were many Cultivators as well as ordinary people; everything seemed no different from an ordinary town.

To be honest, Lin Xun really wanted to go directly to find that legendary Genius youth of the Demon Shadow Sect.

However, Lin Xun was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he restrained himself for the time being.

Especially after Lin Xun heard that the Demon Shadow Sect planned to recruit some Loose Cultivators to expand the Sect’s prestige, he had more ideas.

Anyway, there was still plenty of time, and for Lin Xun, he didn’t need to be in a hurry at all.

In Lin Xun’s view, rather than going to settle scores with that Young Sect Master of the Demon Shadow Sect right now,

it would be better to first sneak into the Demon Shadow Sect and then wait for an opportunity.

This way, it would be much more reliable.

According to the notices posted in the city, Lin Xun walked to the Demon Shadow Sect’s registration point responsible for receiving Loose Cultivators.

Lin Xun wanted to participate in the Demon Shadow Sect’s entrance selection.

At that registration point, a long queue had already formed.

They were all Loose Cultivators who wanted to enter the Demon Shadow Sect.

The lowest Realm of these Loose Cultivators was the Cave Mansion Realm.

And the highest Realm actually included the Golden Core Realm!

If a Cultivator in the Cave Mansion Realm wanted to join some medium-sized Sects, they would basically be guaranteed to pass.

Not to mention Cultivators in the Golden Core Realm.

For a Golden Core Realm Cultivator to become a minor Elder in a Holy Land, there would definitely be no problem at all.

But they still wanted to join the Demon Shadow Sect and even showed such enthusiasm, which made Lin Xun very curious.

Just what kind of attraction did the Demon Shadow Sect have?

Lin Xun joined the long queue and waited along with the others.

While waiting, he looked at the fellow in front of him and lightly patted his shoulder:

“This brother, are you also here to participate in the Demon Shadow Sect’s selection?”

“Nonsense.”

The man gave Lin Xun a sidelong glance.

“If I wasn’t here to participate, then what else would I be doing here?”

“You have a point, brother,” Lin Xun said with a smile, and then began to probe with questions.

“I originally thought I could get in easily, but I didn’t expect so many Cultivators to participate in the assessment.

Moreover, there are quite a few Cultivators whose Realms I can’t even discern. What’s going on?

Could it be that this Demon Shadow Sect is that famous?”

The man looked at Lin Xun with some surprise:

“I say, do you really not know, or are you just pretending?

Looking at the fluctuations of your spiritual power, you should be around the Dragon Gate Realm, right?

I am at the Late Stage of the Dragon Gate Realm, and I’m also here for the Demon Shadow Sect’s selection, and I still don’t know if I’ll be chosen.

Mainly because of this Demon Shadow Sect—don’t look at it as just a newly promoted first-rate Sect.

In reality, this Sect has a great future ahead of it.”

“Oh? How so?”

“You don’t even know this? Are you really a local?”

“Hahahaha…”

Lin Xun stuffed a few Mid-Grade Spirit Stones into this fellow’s hand.

“To be honest, brother, I am indeed a local Loose Cultivator, but I found an Immortal Cave and was in secluded cultivation for over ten years.

I only recently broke through to the Dragon Gate Realm and just came out.

So, I really don’t understand the current situation very well.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is. No wonder, no wonder…”

Looking at the Spirit Stones in his hand, the Cultivator nodded with a smile and tucked them away. His expression softened significantly as he patiently explained to Lin Xun.

Anyway, this wasn’t some major secret or anything.

Everyone knew about it.

It would be a waste not to earn these Spirit Stones.

Besides, this fellow seemed quite sensible.

“Let me tell you, this Demon Shadow Sect was originally just a small Sect.

But, through these years of development, a Genius emerged from the Demon Shadow Sect.

Then, I don’t know what kind of great luck this Demon Shadow Sect struck, but that Genius was able to successively absorb many other Sects.

By now, the Demon Shadow Sect is already a first-rate Sect.

Even that Genius is rumored to be at the Late Stage of the Yupu Realm.

Of course, it’s just a rumor; the actual truth isn’t very clear.

However, one thing is certain: the Demon Shadow Sect truly has strength and has already reached an agreement with the Soul Faction of the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

If the Soul Faction destroys the Technique Faction and completely takes control of the Dragon Cry Holy Land…

Then, the Dragon Cry Holy Land will carve out a portion of its interests for the Demon Shadow Sect.

And even if the Dragon Cry Holy Land doesn’t carve out a portion of interests for the Demon Shadow Sect, it doesn’t matter.

Given the current trend, it won’t be a problem at all for that Young Sect Master of the Demon Shadow Sect to reach the Immortal Realm.

In the future, it’s a certainty that the Demon Shadow Sect will become a stable, major Sect.

Right now, the Demon Shadow Sect is developing rapidly. If we don’t join now, then when?

Although the treatment might be slightly better if you join some major Sects compared to the Demon Shadow Sect…

But in the future, will we, who are considered founding-level figures, have worse treatment than them?

And, most importantly…

Let me tell you, the Demon Shadow Sect must have mastered some kind of method.

Otherwise, why have their Elders and Consecrated Elders been breaking through one after another over the past two years?

There’s definitely something going on.

Don’t we Cultivators just pursue higher Realms?

If we don’t enter now, then when?”

“A method for Breakthroughs?”

“Yeah, but these are just rumors.

But regardless, there’s definitely something fishy, and I’m willing to believe it.

In short, brother, no matter what, joining the Demon Shadow Sect will definitely not be a loss.

You don’t need to worry too much about anything, brother.

If nothing unexpected happens, those of us in the Dragon Gate Realm should be able to get in.

On the contrary, there are simply too many Cave Mansion Realm Cultivators; they might not necessarily make it.”

“So that’s how it is. It seems I’ve really struck it lucky.”

Lin Xun smiled.

He chatted with the Cultivator further about recent events in the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

An hour later, Lin Xun arrived before the Demon Shadow Sect Disciple responsible for registration.

“Name, Realm, origin.”

The Cultivator in charge of registration asked coldly, without even looking up.
