Ominous. Distorted. And Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These portals weren’t positioned here by chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sect had long identified this region as an area of weakened spatial fabric, perhaps even nudged it further over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subtle preparation for an inevitable invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mismatched, asymmetric arrangement of Gates some wide, some narrow, some tall, some warped made the sky look like shattered mirrors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them landed at the edge of the floating island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan walked to the boundary and looked down at the central arena far below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Everything looks so small from up here... Good thing I don’t have acrophobia. A cultivator afraid of heights would live a nightmare.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using [Immortal’s Gaze] was now a second nature to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan pierced through the drifting clouds and looked back toward the Discipline Committee Pagoda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was impossibly far, his vision reached it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, a pair of sharp crimson eyes stared straight back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red haired senior from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from this distance... he was looking directly at Yu Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With full clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As expected... that guy was not normal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Yu, what are you looking at? Let’s go,\" a disciple called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan blinked once, then turned away from the distant crimson gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over to the disciple, forcing his thoughts aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I never introduced myself, did I? Hello, I am Yu Xuan. Nice to meet you,\" he said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Shangguan Yan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began chatting as they walked deeper into the floating island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan learned quite a bit from Shangguan Yan as they walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently this batch of disciples was part of the scheduled dispatch from the Discipline Committee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Gates only allowed cultivators below Tier 3, higher-realm disciples acted as overseers, and a few Elders were stationed here as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Discipline Committee, as the ones maintaining order in the sect, created a simple yet highly effective incentive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outstanding disciples were given a free Gate trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enter the Gate → kill monsters → get loot → gain merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short:A paid vacation where you might die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfectly normal for a Cultivation World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still... every disciple Yu Xuan passed looked anything but ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the ones who seemed average had a certain sharpness to them, as if survival experience was carved into their bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, they reached the Discipline Committee’s temporary branch on the floating island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the group stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every disciple saluted Bing Xin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen a lot of disciples bow on their way here, but inside this branch it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan felt a bad premonition because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then he saw Bing Xin speaking to... someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who looked unmistakably like a Kappa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short, round body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wide amphibian eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bowl-like depression on its head filled with shimmering water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Webbed hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fishy smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An aura that screamed: \"I am Superior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bing Xin turned to the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From here, Ke-jii will take over. Follow his instructions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she walked toward her private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before leaving, she sent Yu Xuan a mental transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Meet me after your grouping is done.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned back toward the Kappa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke-jii tapped his webbed hands together, each movement producing a softsplish-splishfrom his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his ridiculous appearance, the pressure rolling off him was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm. You all look quite eager for this little vacation,\" Ke-jii spoke, his voice deep and strangely oily (???).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, let’s finish the boring parts quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WOOOSH—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine sense swept over everyone like a tidal wave, and in the next moment, the crowd was split neatly into groups of nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan glanced around and noticed Shangguan Yan in his group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He breathed a small sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least he wouldn’t be alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already noticed that several Discipline Committee disciples were subtly avoiding him — after all, Yu Xuan didn’t belong to their Committee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation world, strength determined connections, and perception would naturally change once ability was shown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke-jii waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those of you already in groups, get acquainted.

I’ll join you in ten minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, he vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just Vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh-what technique was that?\" the chubby disciple whispered, slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment he shook himself and clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-alright... let’s talk over food first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded, still slightly rattled by Yu Xuan’s sudden disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they are geniuses too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, if even they cannot sense Yu Xuan move, it simply meant that despite his beautiful or rather handsome appearance he was quite formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>",1006,"2026-06-02T11:45:33.245Z",1,"novelbin.me","68e0ae50471770f1bfb645a1bff49894e8841012e89a8207f67458b0c3d301be","accidentally-reincarnated-in-cultivation-world-chapter-281","accidentally-reincarnated-in-cultivation-world-chapter-279",406,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Faccidentally-reincarnated-in-cultivation-world-cover.jpg"]
