Chapter 787: Chapter 4: Divine Land

Divine Land, Cyan Dragon City, Golden Scale Guard.

In a room that resembled a medical room, sunlight streamed in through the window, and Li Xin felt warmth akin to the familiar sea’s breath, reminiscent of Hedan. He seemed to recall the sensation of bandages on his body, yet the Spiritual Power within him was still dangerously chaotic.

A man and a woman stood before Li Xin. The man appeared to be about forty years old, resembling a standard handsome square-faced guy with a prominent nose, clad in a charming Golden Scale Armor, carrying a long spear on his back. Beside him stood a twenty-something woman dressed in white, with a high ponytail and an exquisite figure exuding an impressive aura, with a long sword at her waist and an aura of briskness surrounding her.

"Junior Sister Fang, have you thought it through? The Guiyuan Pill is such a precious Treasure for your future," Lang Beichen said, "This person, although of Beijing origin, has an unclear background and multiple unknown forces from severe injuries. Even using the Guiyuan Pill may not be able to save him."

Lang Beichen was somewhat regretful; this person was an outsider, and not many means could enter the Divine Land. There was a residual energy of Ancient Talisman on this person, a rarity in such Talismans. Lang Beichen called Fang Qingning here, initially thinking of a chance to see if the person was related to the one who defected from the Divine Land long before from the Martial Heart Sect.

He hadn’t expected Fang Qingning to want to save the person using the Guiyuan Pill.

"Senior Brother, I observe this person has a righteous Fate; saving lives is the cultivation principle of our Martial Heart Sect. Since I see it, I cannot leave them to death," Fang Qingning said earnestly, smiling freely, "Senior Brother, do not concern yourself with worldly possessions."

Lang Beichen chuckled bitterly, carefree indeed, but being carefree comes with a price, and the Martial Heart Sect now has little familial heritage left.

The cultivation sects in the Divine Land are divided into Celestial, Earth, Dark, and Yellow Levels, with only one Celestial-level sect throughout the Divine Land, which is the Celestial Destiny Sect.

The Celestial Destiny Sect is quite special; although called a sect, it can’t really be counted as one. The disciples of the Celestial Destiny Sect are selected from Earth, Dark, Yellow sects and becoming a disciple doesn’t mean needing to leave the original sect but rather adds another identity. In Divine Land, only with Celestial Destiny Sect identity can one leave; else unauthorized departures are erased by Hidden Laws. It’s been like this for millennia.

Essentially, in Divine Land, Earth-level sects are the most revered and strongest sects. Once, the Martial Heart Sect was the head of Earth-level sects, a Holy Land coveted by Divine Land cultivators.

But the previous generation of the Martial Heart Sect produced a traitor, Zhuo Buquan, who gained the identity of the Celestial Destiny Sect as a prodigy and was a strong contender for the new Sect Master. However, he seized a mission opportunity to steal a substantial amount of resources, wealth, cultivation techniques, and Secret Items from the Martial Heart Sect whereupon he vanished without a trace, leaving severe irreversible damage.

After that, internally split, losing excellent disciples, recruiting talented Awakened individuals became very challenging, facing several dissolution dangers.

The sects’ division is based on cultivators’ Cultivation, the number of members, and overall contribution value to Divine Land assessed comprehensively. Below Earth is Dark Level, with a small gap between Earth and Dark often alternating, followed by Yellow Level. Among the Divine Land’s four cities, one hundred and eight paths, and many towns, only the powerful sects are qualified for level assessment.

Only the Celestial Destiny Sect is Celestial level, with only four Earth-level sects, eight at Dark Level, and thirty-six slots at Yellow Level, all highly competitive.

In Divine Land, all sects face direct competition, resources are distributed according to level, these resources are hard to acquire in the market, only available through allocation.

Divine Land has unique Hidden Laws, which restrict anyone entering from using Hidden Power beyond Fourth Grade, comparable to the outside’s Four Lives. With this restriction, cultivators face intense internal competition.

Resources, Treasures, cultivation techniques, and talent inheritance form a sect’s foundation, and Zhuo Buquan highly damaged the Martial Heart Sect’s core during such fierce internal competition, leaving no chance for respite from rivals.

When the Martial Heart Sect passed into Fang Qingning’s hands, there was little familial heritage left, now facing internal and external strife.

Fang Qingning understood Lang Beichen’s concerns, but at her position, there was no choice. Abandonment might appear to save some resources, but then the Martial Heart Sect is no longer the same, with the meaning of steadfastness lost. It is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but even in decline, it perishes with the sect’s principles intact.

This is the last dignity of the Martial Heart Sect.

"Judging by his clothes, he should be a Night Patrol, meaning his fate should not end." Lang Beichen stopped dissuading.

The Night Patrol has a solid reputation; the Dragon Scale Guard knows well about Li Long Night Patrol’s situation and Junior Sister Fang’s Qi Observation Skill remains unerring.

Fang Qingning took out a White Jade Bottle from her bosom, opened the cap, allowing a faint medicinal fragrance to fill the room, extremely comforting. The last Guiyuan Pill was poured out, thumb-sized and shining brightly.

The Guiyuan Pill was fed into Li Xin’s mouth, the Elixir melted instantly, and with Fang Qingning’s Spiritual Power channeling through his body, a pure force spread within Li Xin.

After advancing to Three Lives, Li Xin’s body underwent significant enhancement, with external injuries not fatal. The major damage stemmed from the creator’s power within and the unrestrained Bloodthirsty Monarch’s force, causing it extremely destructive damage. Although these forces were deadly, upon entering the Divine Land, their destructive energy drastically weakened by ninety percent, allowing Li Xin to survive.

Though challenging, with such injuries, the Guiyuan Pill still is a Divine Elixirs and Marvelous Medicines level within the Divine Land. As long as there’s still breath, it can sustain life.

Li Xin’s body was thoroughly absorbing the Guiyuan Pill’s power, feeling a yin-yang complement.

Lang Beichen relaxed, judging by the absorption level, his life was preserved.

"Junior Sister, what do you plan for this person?" Lang Beichen asked, "Though he’s an Awakened, and of appropriate age, unfortunately, he lacks a Spirit Root. While Li Long’s Night Patrol works well for cases, their combat power is lacking due to poor foundation."

Lang Beichen mourned a bit; Martial Heart Sect currently lacks quality disciples. As an Awakened, at a young age, reliable character, typically this person would fall under the Martial Heart Sect’s handling, yet without Spirit Root, just a Body Cultivation, too late for fundamentals at this age, entering the sect would squander resources; however, outsiders must be accepted by a sect.

"No matter, send him to me, not lacking one more. He can be an Outer Disciple at least," Fang Qingning chuckled, "Kindly, Senior Brother, manage his registration to reside in my Martial Heart Sect."

"Alright, once he recovers a bit, I’ll send him over; if the lad proves ineffective, send him back to me, and I’ll arrange," Lang Beichen stated, "How’s little Chi recently, still as mischievous?"

"Pretty much, Senior Brother, is Elder Wang really willing to come to our Martial Heart Sect? Surely many sects want him?" Fang Qingning inquired with curiosity shimmering in her eyes.
