Hidden Cloud Prefecture, Waterwood City.
Cloud Inn.
Two women arrived in front of the inn.
One was dressed in white, with a white bird flying beside her.
The other was dressed in green.
“Thank you, Yuezhi, for bringing me to the southern region,” Chu Jie expressed her gratitude.
“Is this the place where you used to stay?” Yan Yuezhi asked as she looked at the inn.
The city was quite prosperous, but there weren't many people engaged in immortal cultivation.
Those who had cultivation were merely average.
In the current era, the strongest person openly known here was only around the Primordial Spirit Realm.
In secrecy, at most, it was the early stage of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
If not for this major era, having a Primordial Spirit Realm would already be impressive.
“This should be the place I left from originally. I and the young master were saved and brought here,” Chu Jie recalled as she looked at the inn:
“At that time, I was taken away by people from our sect, and the young master didn't accompany us.
“He went to the Heavenly Note Sect.
“Although it's called a demonic sect, laws are neither inherently good nor bad; it depends on the person wielding them.
“Be it immortal law or evil law
“one can't differentiate between good and evil.
“What the young master needs to take care of is to keep his original heart.
“Fortunately, he has a good senior brother by his side; it seems he won't encounter anything too bad.”
Having said this, Chu Jie entered the inn.
The inn, which had stood here for over a hundred years, now looked even newer than before.
“The Heavenly Note Sect?” Yan Yuezhi followed her in and asked:
“Who is his senior brother?”
“Jiang Hao,” Chu Jie replied.
“Does he hold a high position in the sect?” Yan Yuezhi casually asked.
Chu Jie reserved two rooms and thought for a moment before responding, “It should be high; the young master said he was doing very well in the sect.”
Yan Yuezhi nodded and said no more.
Jiang Hao.
That meant the young master, who was at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, indeed belonged to the Jing clan.
“We should probably arrive there the day after tomorrow; then, I'd like to visit him. Yuezhi, would you like to come with me?” Chu Jie asked softly.
Yan Yuezhi nodded slightly.
This visit was for two reasons, the first being for Chu Jie.
She was about to become an immortal, and although she possessed great fortune, at times immortality could bring numerous troubles.
She had initially left the secret realm together with Chu Jie,
and thus had also come together to the southern region,
taking a very circuitous route.
That's why they had arrived somewhat late.
The second reason was to feel the dangers of the southern region and meet the person overseeing the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
Three days later,
Yan Yuezhi and Chu Jie arrived at the mountain gate of the Heavenly Note Sect.
The River of Deathly Silence was right in front of them, and both were somewhat surprised.
This river was not simple; once stirred, it could bring vast dangers.
“The Heavenly Note Sect is not as rumored.” Chu Jie, looking at the entire sect, commented:
“I feel a pressure; this sect shouldn't be lingered in too long.”
“I don't feel that way,” Yan Yuezhi mentioned, “But it is indeed very dangerous here.”
“It's not just dangerous; this place…” Chu Jie, frowning as she observed the sect, commented:
“is fundamentally not a good place for cultivation. It's hard to imagine that someone would coincidentally establish a sect here.
“And yet, it has stood unwavering for so many years.
“There must be other reasons, most likely a powerhouse or a divine item that even immortal sects might not possess.”
Pausing, Chu Jie continued, “But this place is indeed the best spot for becoming an immortal; it's tremendously helpful for me.”
Yan Yuezhi was somewhat surprised, but didn't ask further.
At that moment, someone came out to block their path.
“Do you have a sect token?” asked a middle-aged man.
Primordial Spirit Realm.
Looking at the other party, Yan Yuezhi politely said:
“I am Yan Yuezhi from the Western Astronomical Academy, here to visit.”
Chu Jie followed up, “I am Chu Jie from the Bright Moon Sect, here to visit.”
The middle-aged man, upon hearing their sect names, was completely shocked.
Western Astronomical Academy?
Bright Moon Sect?
Two from the four major sects?
Because many powerful individuals from the Bright Moon Sect had recently arrived, he thought there really might be people from the immortal sects.
However, he didn't dare to let them in rashly.
“Please wait a moment, two fairy guards; I will go and report immediately,” the middle-aged man said immediately.
But within a few breaths, an old man of the Immortal Ascension Realm came out.
He looked at the two fairy guards, completely stunned.
He couldn't see through their cultivation.
“Please come in, esteemed forebears,” the elder respectfully greeted.
Chu Jie thought for a moment and called upon her great fortune.
Only then did she proceed inside.
“I was worried that the senior members of the sect would do something surprising to sense my arrival, so I isolated my aura,” Chu Jie explained to Yan Yuezhi.
It wasn't exactly isolating her own aura, more like something akin to great luck.
She understood the sect's methods, so she could directly counter them.
This was also a harvest from her journey in the secret realm.
Yan Yuezhi felt surprised. Although Chu Jie was not yet an immortal, some of her methods were far beyond those of an immortal.
This is the person at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment with great fortune.
During this time, how many could surpass her?
After becoming an immortal, it wouldn't depend on cultivating talents, but on the understanding of the Dao.
And would Chu Jie be lacking in that respect?
Without dwelling on it further, Yan Yuezhi curiously asked, “The Human Emperor's opportunity is about to open; are you going?”
“No,” Chu Jie shook her head:
“If I go, many opportunities will land in my hands, and I currently feel that becoming an immortal is more important.
“With the major era upon us, my time is more pressing than many others.”
“Are you forebears going to the residence of the Bright Moon Sect Elder?” the guiding elder asked.
“No, we wish to visit Senior Brother Jiang at Cliff of Broken Hearts; could you introduce us?” Chu Jie politely asked.
“Jiang Hao?” The elder was surprised.
“Is it inconvenient?” Chu Jie asked.
“No, it's just that quite a few people visit Senior Brother Jiang,” the elder explained.
“You also call him Senior Brother?” Chu Jie curiously asked.
“The accomplished are the seniors,” the elder smiled: “Senior Brother Jiang is indeed the top disciple of the sect, although my cultivation is a bit higher, by normal seniority terms, we are actually peers.
