Chapter 185: 184. Lin Kewu’s Surprise (1/4) "Starless."
Wen Ping responded indifferently.
But he didn’t know that when he uttered the words "Starless Sect," Lin Kewu inwardly smiled helplessly.
However, Lin Kewu didn’t think that the Starless Sect lacked power.
Just the Cloud Hawk under Wen Ping’s feet, was a rare sight even at Bright Mirror Lake. And the Golden Eagle under Lin Kewu’s feet did not exude malice towards the Cloud Hawk, proving that this Cloud Hawk was at least a Great Demon—since his Golden Eagle would flaunt its power when encountering anyone weaker.
As a sect with a Great Demon, strength was certainly present, perhaps they were just unable to achieve Star Promotion yet, or they were recently established.
These days, many Profound Realm cultivators liked to create their own sects, gathering many disciples and enjoying the title of ancestor.
He felt the Immortal Sect was probably such an existence.
And coming to recruit him was likely just one of the ways the Starless Sect was expanding.
However, just as Lin Kewu was preparing to refuse Wen Ping, Wen Ping spoke again, "Love waits for no one, and the Three-star Academy has countless outstanding young talents... If you can’t succeed, someone else will take your place."
Lin Kewu was stunned for a moment.
In that moment, a sense of crisis welled up within him.
Indeed, if he couldn’t reach the Profound Realm by the age of 25, then Wanyan would belong to someone else.
Thinking of this, Lin Kewu quickly asked, "Friend, may I ask, what realm is your Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect?"
"You can just find out by going down there."
Saying this, Wen Ping directed Qin Shan towards Yunlan Mountain.
Lin Kewu, filled with curiosity, promptly followed and landed on the top of Yunlan Mountain. The Golden Eagle transformed into a middle-aged man with golden eyebrows.
Of course, Lin Kewu’s following was due to some expectation for the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader, not because of the Immortal Sect itself.
Even if it had a Profound Realm Great Demon within, the Starless Sect still had many shortcomings that needed to be addressed. It lacked many things. To cultivate him to reach the Profound Realm by 25, that seemed like a joke.
However, if the Sect Leader was extraordinary, there could still be hope, especially given Wen Ping’s confident words.
Perhaps the Sect Leader might even be in the Divine Profound Realm.
Moreover, even if he returned home, it was unlikely he’d receive guidance and resources to reach the Profound Realm in a year.
Yet, as soon as he landed on the square, Wen Ping’s words came, "I am the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect!"
"You!"
Lin Kewu stood there, stunned, then smiled helplessly.
Well.
The possibility of an extraordinary Sect Leader was instantly shattered.
A sect led by someone younger than himself, how good could this sect be? It’s not just a child’s play, nor is it enough just to have a Profound Realm Great Demon; such a sect would be outwardly strong but weak internally.
On the big stage of Heaven and Earth Lake, it wouldn’t stand a chance.
Forget it, farewell!
This visit to the Immortal Sect was just a way to relax.
Meanwhile, from the stairs behind came the sound of footsteps, and a young man much younger than himself walked up the steps, holding a table and two Grandmaster’s Chairs, with a sign in the middle of the chairs.
When he came up, Lin Kewu immediately glanced over. Upon hearing the youth being called the Sect Leader, he probed his realm and found that the person was merely at the Body Refining Fourth Layer, prompting a smile.
He thought to himself, "This guy is only a few years younger than me, yet his power is just at Body Refining Fourth Layer. With such talent, entering a One-star Influence would be a stretch; how could the Immortal Sect cultivate me to reach the Profound Realm in a year?"
But just as the thought of leaving had arisen, the Golden Eagle beside him spoke quietly and surprised, "Innate Purity Body!"
Lin Kewu turned and asked, "What Innate Purity Body?"
The Golden Eagle quickly explained, "Young master, this person is at Body Refining Fourth Layer yet possesses a Purity Body, which likely means an Innate Purity Body!"
"No way?"
Lin Kewu immediately scrutinized the person holding the table.
The Innate Purity Body was legendary at Bright Mirror Lake; once such a person appeared, they would immediately be recruited by a Three-star Academy, treated entirely differently from other prodigies.
For instance, at Wanyan’s Three-star Canghui Academy, there are separate inner and outer courtyards.
Wanyan, at 23 years old, had reached the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer Realm, and at 15, the Body Refining Sixth Layer. She was considered a top genius at Bright Mirror Lake, yet could only enter the outer courtyard.
But if one had an Innate Purity Body, such a prodigy could directly gain the chief disciple position and enter the inner courtyard, receiving one-on-one guidance and cultivation by a Profound-level, Divine Profound Realm master.
Yet, the prodigy with an Innate Purity Body before him was moving tables and chairs at the Immortal Sect, doing such menial tasks!
How incredible is this Immortal Sect?
Aren’t you afraid the Divine Profound beings of Canghui Academy would be enraged knowing this?
At this point, Wen Ping spoke, "Zhao Yi, put the tables and chairs back, then sweep the fallen leaves in front of the Library Pavilion."
Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Sect Leader, I understand."
After responding, Zhao Yi placed the chairs and table on the ground, then positioned the disciple recruitment sign back beside the Thousand Layers. After doing all this, he carried the table away from the square.
"What?"
