Chapter 940: Dragon Pool Tiger Cave Five Aggregates Sect

~8 min read 1,521 words

She was overwhelmed by the fear of death for the first time, wanting only to escape with Jiang Xuechen.

But as the world's energy was drained and spiritual qi dispersed, she couldn't use any of her spatial magical artifacts, leaving her only to protect herself as the mountains and rivers sank.

Even she didn't know how Jiang Xuechen fell. She had never experienced such a terrifying scene.

Later, she was inexplicably saved by the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan and sealed within the divine soul of a forbidden land... unaware of the passage of time.

The Jiang family probably thought she either died of old age or perished in the destruction of the boundary.

After all, being sealed in the divine soul of a forbidden land meant all external connections were completely severed, leaving her in a state of suspended animation.

Even soul lamps, immortal essence, bloodline sensing, and other methods would completely fail.

A minor figure from the Jiang family's outer relatives from ten thousand years ago had long been forgotten, and she became an orphan... left to take things one step at a time in the Five Aggregates Sect.

But after she fully awakened, she always felt that Jiang Xuechen's fall was too strange. How could someone in the late Elemental Infant phase not temporarily protect themselves with a warship's momentum and fall into the abyss due to exhausted mana...

Now, she could only stay in the Five Aggregates Sect, as this ancestor had a deep-seated hatred for the Human Clan. If she claimed to be from the Jiang family, she would have to leave.

Yuhua Qian had no doubt that she would either be killed on the spot or thrown into the Wild Heaven Region to die from the aftermath of a duel, or perhaps be accidentally crushed by an ancient beast.

In any case, the outcome wouldn't be good. There was nothing to miss about the Jiang family, and she now knew a lot of information, realizing that she had been sent to her death...

Just a small pawn discarded, facing a great calamity without even knowing what was happening, laughably ignorant.

Now, she often studied the "Five Aggregates Immortal Canon: Introduction to the Grand World," and the more she read, the more she found it made sense, the more she saw great wisdom in it!

Her mind became much clearer, and now when others spoke, she instinctively doubted them to avoid being misled by partial words.

Entering the grand world of immortals, one should assume the worst intentions of all beings.

Others aren't your parents, so why should they accommodate you, tolerate you, or be inexplicably kind to you...

Yuhua Qian felt a deep sadness upon seeing this. If she had seen this immortal canon earlier, she wouldn't have been so easily deceived.

She had come all the way from the Boundless Great World to the small boundary, foolishly happy that her family had rewarded her with many spirit stones and Qi-Enhancing Pills, even covering the travel expenses through the world gate.

She had become a typical negative example under the Five Aggregates Immortal Canon, sold out and still counting money for others.

Over the years, she occasionally missed home, but after ten thousand years, those relatives were likely long gone, and she had nowhere to go.

Becoming the peak master of Jiugong Mountain in the Five Aggregates Sect was thanks to Jiang Xuechen's fortune.

But since the ancestor returned, there were too many rules... she couldn't even leave the mountain gate, and everywhere she went, there were layers of inspections.

From Jiugong Mountain to the main hall of the sect, and then to the ninety-nine ring-shaped mountains, divine sense scans swept over her body no less than a hundred times, at least those she could sense...

Even at the final step, there were numerous fierce beasts checking soul age and so on, quite exaggerated.

Now, this sect was like a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, and trying to sneak in would be impossible, not even getting past the long path of formations under the mountain gate, guarded by two ancient beasts!

It was said that behind the mountain gate, on the tallest Crane Spirit Tree, there was a cave abode belonging to the Great Desolate Beast, Senior Qi Ming.

This beast was even more formidable, watching over the four directions, guarding the entire majestic Jade Bamboo Range.

She had heard legends of this beast in the Boundless Great World, with various clans highly praising this exotic beast, wishing to nurture a descendant.

As for the Ominous Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements who dominated the myriad clans in the Human Clan's Milky Way, and Ancestor Bull who fought immortals in the half-immortal realm, these legendary figures she dared not even think about.

They were figures to be automatically ignored, and being able to survive until now and still cultivate within the Five Aggregates Sect, she was already grateful and had no ulterior motives.

As Yuhua Qian was lost in thought, a group of fierce beasts began to prepare their magical artifacts.

White Spirit's gaze was cold, staring intently at Yuhua Qian. This woman wore the sect's attire of the seventy-seven ring-shaped mountains, her long hair like silk, soft and smooth, light and flowing, with a deep brown sheen.

Her features were also exquisite, like finely carved porcelain, with a small mole under her eye, making her easily recognizable.

However, in Little White Spirit's eyes, this human was still far inferior to the Dao Ancestor's sister, who was an unforgettable presence even among foreign clans.

"Boss, dual spiritual roots, cultivation at the late Elemental Infant phase, with a primordial spirit in its infancy, soul age over seven thousand years, there's a big problem!"

A fierce beast growled at Yuhua Qian, full of vigilance, "How can someone in the Elemental Infant phase live so long? She's not a true spirit or an ancient beast, she's definitely not human, an imposter!"

Roar!

Terrifying beast roars echoed from all directions, making Yuhua Qian's hair stand on end, but all the Five Aggregates Sect disciples had eaten longevity fruits, she was about to explain...

Suddenly.

Little White Spirit swooped down from mid-air, slapping the fierce beast with its wing, raising its head and saying, "Look at your limited knowledge, as long as the soul age is within ten thousand years, it's considered normal, understand?"

"Understood, understood." The slapped fierce beast quickly rolled over, nodding repeatedly.

But the exchanges between these fierce beasts were just like that, without much of the immortal etiquette, actions like giving a punch or a slap were quite normal.

The surrounding fierce beasts gradually showed a light of wise contemplation, so that's how it was...

"Is there any problem with the identity?" Little White Spirit surveyed the surroundings, speaking coldly, "If there's no problem, then let her pass."

"Boss, no problem!"

A fierce beast holding a magical artifact spoke, "It matches perfectly with the bloodline and divine soul on the sect's registry."

Yuhua Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief, cupping her hands, "Thank you all."

White Spirit chuckled, "Then come with me, Peak Master Yu. The Spiritual Medicine Garden is not to be entered at will, you can wait outside. If too much life aura is absorbed, it will be detrimental to the growth of the spiritual herbs."

"Understood." Yuhua Qian smiled, finding these fierce beast seniors quite interesting.

"Boss, you have such knowledge of spiritual herbs?!" A fierce beast spoke with admiration, eyes showing a hint of envy, they couldn't cultivate them, always searching for ready-made treasures.

"Nonsense!"

White Spirit's eyes flashed with pride, raising its head even higher, "Since the establishment of this medicine garden, this guardian beast has been here. In terms of seniority, none of you can compare to me."

Its gaze glanced at Yuhua Qian, "Peak Master Yu, give me the letter of introduction, I'll go fetch the herbs."

"Yes." Yuhua Qian respectfully handed over a cyan letter of introduction, which listed the required years of the spiritual herbs, with several divine sense imprints from outer elders.

Little White Spirit's expression turned serious, having confirmed the identity, it couldn't delay, and quickly flew towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden to personally fetch the herbs for her.

Yuhua Qian's eyes became more lively, these fierce beasts seemed to enjoy the process of doing things... dedicated and not caring about one's status, just following the sect's rules.

After all, in the Five Aggregates Sect, only these spiritual and fierce beasts were not part of the sect's various statuses, no wonder the Dao Ancestor chose them to guard the sect's important place—the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

As Yuhua Qian waited in the wilderness two thousand miles away, a wisp of yellow sand drifted not far away.

A small green frog, head lowered, hands behind its back, sighing continuously, walked over...

Yuhua Qian's eyes shook, her Dao heart swayed, a strong one, a true strong one!

"Where did this little girl come from, daring to block this Daoist's path, ribbit! Haven't you heard of the fame of the Five Aggregates Sect's guardian immortal beast?!"
