Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

After handling everything, Shen Han was ready to depart and return to the Star Tower.

Though Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi lost their qualifications for the mountain exploration, his own qualifications remained intact.

Shen Han wasn’t going to give up this opportunity.

Besides, being a disciple of the Star Tower, it wasn’t appropriate for him to linger at someone else’s Celestial Sword Sect.

Even if the two sects had a good relationship, it still wasn’t quite suitable.

Upon returning to the Star Tower, the Sect Leader and others needed to determine the quota quickly.

After all, they had to provide the list of five disciples going to the Snow Mountain House to them before arranging the date to enter the Forbidden Land.

To be honest, Shen Han was still somewhat expectant about this.

Especially after hearing that many people had stepped from the Loose Immortal Realm to the True Immortal Realm, or Third Grade Immortal Realm, within the Forbidden Land.

Shen Han was confident in himself, if others could do it, he should be able to as well.

Upon reaching the Immortal Realm, it was time to return to Great Wei.

Shen Han knew that among his enemies, there were powerful opponents in the Second Grade Immortal Realm like Luo Changping.

But after entering the Immortal Realm, he would at least have the ability to protect himself.

It wouldn’t be like before, where he could be severely injured just by being caught by a technique.

He could go back…

The journey back to the Star Tower would take more than two days, and the distance between the Inner and Outer Domains was truly considerable.

Now it was already autumn, the plants that were full of life in summer had leaves that started to wither and turn yellow.

It seemed as though the autumn wind blew, causing the leaves to become even more yellow.

When they were completely withered, a gust of autumn wind would cause the leaves to start falling.

In Divine Land’s autumn, there didn’t seem to be the scorching heat of the Three Dog Days.

After autumn set in, the weather became cooler, and the seasons were quite distinct.

Landing from the Magical Artifact, the style of the Star Tower was really quite different from that of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Even before walking into the sect, Shen Han could already sense the difference from afar.

At the Celestial Sword Sect, not just during the day.

Even at night, one could often hear the sounds of disciples practicing their cultivation.

But upon returning to the Star Tower, he rarely saw such hard-working disciples.

Or rather, the disciples of the Star Tower were also diligent but did not favor such a form.

For Star Tower disciples, if they were tired, they should rest.

Only with adequate rest could they cultivate better.

Whereas the disciples at the Celestial Sword Sect believed that resting less meant more time for cultivation.

The differences in these philosophies could be discerned at a glance from the sect’s atmosphere.

Walking into the sect, fellow disciples along the way would greet each other courteously.

After the qualification trials, there seemed to be no disciple in the Star Tower who didn’t recognize Shen Han.

Moreover, Shen Han had secured a quota for the Snow Mountain House Forbidden Land training for the Star Tower.

The Star Tower disciples, previously unaware, specifically researched the Snow Mountain House upon hearing this news.

Upon understanding the mystery of this Snow Mountain House Forbidden Land, the usually laid-back Star Tower disciples seemed somewhat excited.

However, there was still a large difference compared to the Celestial Sword Sect.

Seeing Shen Han, no one tried to flatter or curry favor with him.

Everyone interacted just as they had before.

Though there was anticipation in their hearts, no one seemed shameless enough to ask for it.

Checking the time, it should have been 1:00 PM.

After returning to the Star Tower, Shen Han first went to visit the sect leader’s courtyard.

Having returned to the sect, at least a safe return needed to be reported.

As he walked up to Sect Leader Yuchou’s courtyards, even before Shen Han could speak, Sect Leader Yuchou came out with a smile.

“You, child, keep bringing surprises.

From what I heard from those people, the requirements of the Snow Mountain House have become more demanding every year.

When I advised you to go earlier, it was to let you gain experience in that Secret Realm.

After all, what you lack now is cultivation experience.

Who would have thought, you, child, would actually resolve that Secret Realm.

And I heard that the success of the Secret Realm exploration this time relied on you?”

As he spoke, Yuchou invited Shen Han to walk into the courtyard.

The two sat on the stone chairs in the courtyard.

“It was a joint effort by all of us to deal with the trouble.

It can’t all be credited to me…”

Shen Han explained patiently, unwilling to take all the credit for himself.

“There’s still twenty-six days until the mountain exploration, feel free to rest well in the sect, and should you have any questions, come directly to me.

Additionally, do you have plans for who you might want to give the quota you earned?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Han slightly shook his head.

“The matter of the quota should entirely be arranged by the sect, as I am not well-acquainted with the situation among fellow disciples.

I’ll leave it to the Sect Leader to decide.”

“That’s fine too, asking you to think about these matters might indeed trouble you.

Furthermore, giving the quota to someone could easily incite jealousy and bring you some trouble.

Indeed, having the sect handle this matter is more appropriate.”

Yuchou’s words made sense; even though the Star Tower’s disciples tended to be more even-tempered.

The opportunity to train in the Forbidden Land was still a chance that the disciples desired.

“By the way, I’ve spread news throughout the Northern Three Domains about you securing the Snow Mountain House Forbidden Land training qualification.

Alongside, I explained what the Snow Mountain House training was~”

Yuchou’s face was beaming with a constant smile, truly feeling satisfied.

During the qualification trials earlier, the leaders of various sects mocked Sect Leader Yuchou.

They said inviting Shen Han into the Star Tower was a huge mistake.

Many had chimed in, saying Shen Han came from Cangxuan Valley.

If he could leave one sect, he could leave another.

Eventually, after the Star Tower invested in cultivating Shen Han, they would reap no benefits, and he would leave.

There were quite a few who voiced such opinions then.

Yuchou spread this news to the sects intending to slap their leaders in the face.

Didn’t they say Shen Han couldn’t bring benefits to the sect?

What do they call this Snow Mountain House Forbidden Land training qualification then?

The very opportunity that even the most elite sect disciples in the Inner Domain coveted, has fallen into the hands of the Star Tower.

Does this not count as bringing benefits to the sect?

…

Currently, in Cangxuan Valley, at the Valley Master’s courtyard.

Yue Bugong hasn’t had a moment of peace lately.

From the start of the qualification trials, nothing seemed to have gone smoothly.

“Did you find out?

What exactly is this Snow Mountain House, what is its Forbidden Land?”

Hearing Yue Bugong’s inquiry, the middle-aged man before him took a deep breath before speaking.

“Valley Master, indeed such a sect power exists within the Inner Domain.

The scale of the sect is small and rarely admits disciples externally.

What makes them famous is their Snow Mountain House Forbidden Land.

Based on the information gathered, this Snow Mountain House Forbidden Land is extraordinarily mysterious.

Many disciples of major sects within the Inner Domain covet it immensely.

Even so, one must meet Snow Mountain House’s criteria to step inside.

Many have reportedly stepped into the True Immortal Realm from the Loose Immortal Realm through this Forbidden Land, a truly wondrous feat.”
