Chapter 387 - Returning to the Dragon Essence Temple
"Do you want to follow me to the Spirit Heaven?" Senior Nie asked Wang Xiuying again.
Wang Xiuying was speechless since she didn't think that she would get the chance.
She then turned to look at Yuan in the distance.
'As much as I want to stay down here and play with you, I have something more important to do…' she said inwardly.
Wang Xiuying returned to Senior Nie and asked him, "If I go to the Spirit Heaven, I will get to pick a sect to join, right?"
"That's right. You can join any of the seven Spirit Academies," he confirmed.
"Then out of these seven Spirit Academies, are there any of them that focus on medicine?"
Senior Nie nodded and said, "Looks like you'll have a new disciple, Elder Mu."
One of the crystal balls then spoke, "My Spirit Healing Academy is the top medicine sect in the Spirit Heaven that has over ten thousand Alchemy Apprentices and a thousand Alchemy Masters. If you wish to join my sect, you will need to be proficient and passionate in the field of medicine."
"I want to join!" Wang Xiuying quickly said.
"Good. But you should know one more thing. Although you have been given the right to join our sect, you have yet to qualify, as our sect is a bit special, so you are still required to take our disciple examination. Are you okay with that?"
"I am okay with that." Wang Xiuying quickly responded.
"Then it's decided. I will see you when you get up here."
Once Senior Nie has picked three people that will be following him to the Spirit Heaven, he said to them, "Congratulations to everyone that has been chosen. I will give you all seven days to prepare for your departure."
Soon after, Senior Nie dismissed everyone there.
However, right as the sects began leaving, another phenomenon occurred at the Mystic Realm, as people could be seen coming out of the gates!
"W-What the heck? Who are those people?"
The sects there were puzzled by this, as was Senior Nie and the others in the Spirit Heaven.
These people were clearly not participants, so they could only be the natives inside the Mystic Realm.
"Hahaha! It's true! It's really true! We can finally leave the Mystic Realm! Thank the new Master of the Mystic Realm! Thank the Lord!" The people that just came out of the Mystic Realm quickly began rejoicing in their freedom.
Seeing this, Senior Nie approached these Mystic Realm natives and asked them what was going on.
"How did you guys leave the Mystic Realm?" Senior Nie asked them.
"How? The Mystic Realm has a new Master! And this person decided to give us freedom! Now anybody can leave the Mystic Realm!" The natives explained to him.
"Heavens…" Senior Nie mumbled in a dazed voice.
Just who is this new master of the Mystic Realm? And why would he make this change that might affect the world?
'Actually, I can think of one person…' Senior Nie recalled Yuan, who had somehow managed to open the Mystic Pagoda, but he had no concrete proof that he was the new Master of the Mystic Realm.
After answering all of Senior Nie's questions, the Mystic Realm natives left the scene and scattered around the Lower Heavens.
Sometime later, Long Yijun said to the others, "We're going to return to the Dragon Essence Temple now."
Yuan quickly said, "Please wait a moment! I would like to speak with my friend one last time before she leaves."
Long Yijun nodded.
Yuan then approached Wang Xiuying and said to her, "Congratulations on ascending."
"Hehe… It's all thanks to you, Yuan." Wang Xiuying said with a bright smile on her face.
"Unfortunately, this means we cannot play together for a while, but I will definitely go to the Spirit Heaven in the future, so let's play again then," Yuan said to her with his hands extended.
Wang Xiuying shook his hand and nodded, "Yes! I will see you in the Spirit Heaven!"
Sometime later, Wang Xiuying left the scene with her sect and Yuan returned to the others.
"Let's return to the sect now." Long Yijun said, and the others brought out their flying treasures.
"We don't really have enough room for everyone here…" Elder Xuan said.
"Let's talk later, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said to him before turning into a small ball of flame and going inside his body.
Xiao Hua also entered her necklace shortly later.
The others then looked at Lan Yingying, wondering if she'll be doing something similar.
"Do you also want to enter my body?" Yuan asked her, thinking that she also had the capability.
However, Lan Yingying shook her head and said, "I do not know how to do that. This is the best I can do."
She then transformed into her serpent form, yet it was different from her usual form.
Unlike her large beast form, Lan Yingying had transformed into a small and slender snake before wrapping herself around Yuan's wrist, turning into a bracelet of sorts.
"Wow…" Elder Shan mumbled in a dazed voice, as she has never seen anything like this before.
"Are we all ready to leave?" Long Yijun asked them a moment later.
"Yes."
Once everyone there was on a flying treasure, they took off into the sky and returned to the Dragon Essence Temple.
A few hours later, they arrived at the sect.
"The three of you can go back to your living quarters for now to rest. We'll contact you again in three days." Long Yijun said to the disciples.
"Yes, Sect Master." They nodded.
"Good work at the Mystic Realm, all of you." Elder Xuan said.
"Yes. Great work indeed."
"Disciple Yuan, please wait for a moment." Long Yijun stopped him right as he reached the door.
And he said, "The Dragon Temple will be opened in a week from now."
"I understand. Thank you, Sect Master." Yuan said to him before returning to his own living quarters with Meixiu.
After the disciples left, Long Yijun sat down in his seat in an exhausted manner.
"What an experience it has been…" he sighed.
