Chapter 207: Why Worry About the Sect Not Flourishing?

“Junior Brother Yellow Universe? You—…”

Inside the relic, Senior Sister Ning Yao, captain of Thousand Illusion Mountain’s second team, stared blankly at Lin Jing beside the Zhu Yan illusion and spoke softly.

So strong…

What is the situation with this Yellow Universe!

“Thank you all for yielding and for your protection.”

At this time, Lin Jing also recovered, smiled slightly, and cupped his fists to the various “fellow Disciples.”

A group of good people!

Without them, comprehending the illusion and killing the Small Zhu Yan would have taken a lot of effort!

“Did you succeed in manifesting the Zhu Yan’s charm?”

“Is there a reward for killing the Small Zhu Yan of the third stage? Is it the Three Heads Six Arms Spell?”

Other True Disciples of Thousand Illusion Mountain asked one after another.

Although Lin Jing was somewhat famous in the Inner Sect, he was still very unfamiliar to these Thousand Illusion Mountain True Disciples.

Except for Ning Shijie from the same team, who had looked at Lin Jing’s information carefully, the other True Disciple Captains were not familiar with him.

They were still dazed, not knowing where Lin Jing had come from.

Before Lin Jing could answer, time and space shifted among the crowd, and the relic entered the Fourth Floor.

Compared to the third floor, the Zhu Yan on the Fourth Floor had changed—it was finally not the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, but the Foundation Establishment Peak!

Its body size had grown significantly!

Everyone faced it as if facing a great enemy.

Seeing this, Ning Shijie took a deep breath and said, “Let’s stop here and withdraw! Don’t be greedy!”

“Junior Brother Huang, let’s go!”

“This is no longer something we can handle.”

“Okay!” Seeing this, Lin Jing had no intention of continuing the challenge.

With just these people present, unless he exposed his three great Pet Beasts, he would be no match for this Small Zhu Yan.

Moreover, if he caused significant damage to the Small Zhu Yan, he might be transformed into a Zhu Yan Bloodline!

The Beast Taming Sect already had more Yao luck than human luck; Lin Jing didn’t have a strong desire for this Zhu Yan Bloodline.

Perhaps the subsequent Legacy would be good, but to avoid being too conspicuous, Lin Jing chose to quit while he was ahead.

Lin Jing exited the relic.

Seeing this, the other Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciples glanced at the Foundation Establishment Peak Small Zhu Yan, swallowed, and felt that this trip was already a Perfection. Under the orders of their respective True Disciple Captains, they exited the relic one by one.

As the Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciples emerged one after another, outside, Illusory Duke Guangming immediately protected all the Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciples.

Standing in the air, he asked the Disciples:

“Which Disciple comprehended the Zhu Yan’s charm?”

He looked at the Disciples with burning eyes. At this time, the eyes of the Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciples couldn’t help but turn toward Lin Jing.

“It’s him?”

Not only the Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciples, but also the Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Flower Sect looked at Lin Jing, who was the focus of many gazes.

They didn’t recognize him at all!

He wasn’t one of those famous Thousand Illusion Mountain prodigies!

“Reporting to the Sect Master, I am Disciple Huang Yu. Under the protection of my Senior Brothers, I successfully manifested the Zhu Yan—and was lucky enough to kill the Small Zhu Yan of the third stage, obtaining the Spell Legacy.” Lin Jing cupped his fists.

“Sect Master, this Disciple is named Huang Yu. He is a Genius recruited by Deacon You a year ago and is currently a Disciple of our Huan Sha Hall.” The Nascent Soul Elder in charge of Huan Sha Hall was delighted and immediately reported to the Sect Master.

“Good, good, good!” Illusory Duke Guangming said “good” three times in a row, quite surprised. But then, he suddenly released his Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, raised its palm, and stared unkindly at the Lord Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate and the Hua Sect Master.

“You two, exploring the Demon Ancestor Relic together was an agreement between our Three Sects. No matter which Sect gains more, there should be no complaints. Are you two unable to afford a loss?”

After sensing the killing intent of the two Nascent Soul Great Perfections, his gaze became extremely terrifying, as if he would strike if the other party didn’t give a satisfactory answer.

The various Nascent Souls accompanying Thousand Illusion Mountain also immediately released their Nascent Soul Dharma Idols, forming a standoff with the two Sects.

“Hehe—of course not.” The killing intent in the eyes of the Lord Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate and the Hua Sect Master vanished, and they laughed. However, in their hearts, as they looked at Lin Jing, they still felt that this boy must not be allowed to remain.

One who had comprehended the Zhu Yan phantom beast would definitely become a major threat to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Flower Sect in the future.

They must not let Thousand Illusion Mountain cultivate this Disciple above the Nascent Soul level!

“Humph.” Illusory Duke Guangming snorted lightly and said, “It seems this relic exploration has come to an end. Why don’t we all return to our Sects? The Three Sects have suffered many casualties on this trip and need some time to recover—”

When they entered, there were three hundred Foundation Establishment Disciples.

When they came out, only over a hundred and seventy remained.

The number of deaths among the Yao Beasts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Disciples was even more tragic.

All Three Sects had their Origin Qi severely damaged.

However, the Disciples who survived, through the tempering they experienced and the opportunities they gained, would have an increased chance of stepping into the Golden Core stage.

Compared to Foundation Establishment, each Sect still valued Advanced combat power like Golden Core and Nascent Soul more.

Illusory Duke Guangming dispersed his Dharma Idol and spoke as he turned: “Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciples, board the Flying Boat and return to the Sect. Huan Sha Hall Disciple Huang Yu, follow me to report your gains from this trip.”

“From today on, you are a Thousand Illusion Mountain True Disciple—”

On the Thousand Illusion Mountain Flying Boat.

Under the order of Sect Master Illusory Duke Guangming, Lin Jing followed closely and entered a Secret Room.

Inside the room, Lin Jing explained his thinking for constructing the Zhu Yan illusion to Illusory Duke Guangming and manifested the Zhu Yan illusion again.

Looking at the Zhu Yan illusion, Illusory Duke Guangming nodded and said, “To be able to use the Overlapping Illusion Art to such an extent after only one year in the Sect.”

“Using the war posture as the spirit and integrating it into the external form, making it natural and perfectly fused like the finishing touch on a dragon.”

This is something even most Golden Core Illusion Cultivators cannot achieve.”

“I feel like I’m truly seeing an Immemorial Remnant cub! What on earth were the illusions manifested by the other Disciples before?”

“Your control over magic power is so exquisite and terrifying! Most rare of all is that you could complete this Spell in such a short time. A Genius, an absolute Genius!”

While sighing with admiration, Illusory Duke Guangming also felt some regret in his heart because he could also see that Lin Jing had used a clever method to manifest a Small Zhu Yan with charm, rather than truly comprehending the charm of the Demon Ancestor Zhu Yan.

However, Illusory Duke Guangming could also understand. For a Foundation Establishment Disciple to achieve this level and scare off many geniuses from the two Sects was already an amazing feat. If he had truly and completely comprehended the Demon Ancestor’s charm, that would be unrealistic.

“Very good. With this foundation you’ve laid, the Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciples who enter the Demon Ancestor Relic next time will be able to perform even better!”

“I am willing to leave the Zhu Yan illusion in the Sect through the Soul Endowment Technique for my Senior Brothers to comprehend. I am also willing to hand over the Three Heads Six Arms Legacy obtained from the third stage to the Sect.” Lin Jing said, “However, I have not yet mastered the Legacy of the Three Heads Six Arms technique, and it is difficult to relay in written form. I’m afraid I’ll need to master it myself before I can pass on the technique via a Jade Slip.”

Since he had secretly learned the illusion techniques of Thousand Illusion Mountain and didn’t intend to consider himself a Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciple in the future, handing over his gains was a way of thanking them for teaching him the techniques.

“Mhm.” Illusory Duke Guangming stroked his long beard and said:

“I originally wanted to take you as my Disciple personally, but seeing your remarkable talent in illusion arts, if I were to teach you, it might delay your future. Our Sect’s Soul Transformation Old Ancestor is currently in seclusion. When she comes out, I will inform her of your situation and see if she is willing to take you as a Disciple.”

If all Disciples were like this Yellow Universe, why would Thousand Illusion Mountain worry about not flourishing?

“Ah?”

Lin Jing was stunned: “There’s no need to trouble the Old Ancestor. Actually, I’d rather take the Sect Master as my teacher—”

“Not so.” Illusory Duke Guangming shook his head and said, “My mind is currently focused on Soul Transformation. If you were an ordinary Genius, it would be fine, but teaching you would definitely be a delay.”

“You are the future hope of Thousand Illusion Mountain!”
