Chapter 207

After they all finished advancing, the guide elder distributed the nine tokens to them.

"With this token, you can enter the Flowing Light Secret Realm." The guide elder said: "When the token emits silver light, it means the Flowing Light Secret Realm has opened; no matter where you are, as long as you have a single thought, you can enter the Flowing Light Secret Realm through the token's summons."

Yuan Yao and the others received the tokens.

The token felt heavy; its surface bore only intricate totem patterns, with no characters, making it look especially mysterious.

"Thank you, senior." Yuan Yao and the others said.

The guide elder gave a faint "hmm," glanced at their nine faces, and felt somewhat moved. As long as none of them die midway, they will at least reach the Immortal Lord level in the future.

Immortal Lord Fan Quan also came over at this time, giving them a few reminders: "In the Flowing Light Secret Realm, it's not necessary; do not lightly provoke people from the other Eight Provinces and Three Islands."

Hearing this, Yuan Yao raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise.

It turned out that these two hundred slots were not limited to the Ninth Province, but to the entire cultivation world.

Yuan Yao was spacing out when suddenly Immortal Lord Fan Quan fixed his gaze on her.

"Especially you."

Yuan Yao froze, somewhat puzzled, and said: "Immortal Lord, why single me out?"

"Don't let others come to you to repent." Immortal Lord Fan Quan looked at her, blinking innocently, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Yuan Yao: "……"

"I am not your master, so I can only give you appropriate advice. Our Ninth Province differs from the other Eight Provinces and Three Islands; we have always been the weakest in the cultivation world. If we provoke someone formidable, I fear I cannot protect you." Immortal Lord Fan Quan sighed lightly.

He paused, his gaze toward the nine of them shifting, then smiled: "However, to outsiders, you are not so easy to provoke."

First, not mentioning that the Thousand Mountain Six Sons have the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord as their backing, their identities and backgrounds are also extremely mysterious.

And Dai Qingye is a disciple of the Holy Sect's sect leader, while Ling Huya is the Eldest Miss of the Ling Hu family, one of the three great families of the Ninth Province.

Xiao Zhufeng's background is the most ordinary; his master is the leader of the Chongxu Sect, but the Chongxu Sect leader may not be able to protect Xiao Zhufeng. If a true dilemma arises, the Chongxu Sect leader may not choose Xiao Zhufeng.

Immortal Lord Fan Quan thought of this, his expression turning grave as he looked at Xiao Zhufeng: "Nowadays, not only the Ninth Province, but even beyond it, people know you have obtained the Heavenly Pride Token. Once you leave the Heaven and Earth Domain, many will surely try to seize it from you."

The Heavenly Pride Token does not recognize a master, nor does it bear any identity mark.

Therefore, once it is taken, its whereabouts can no longer be traced.

Gone is gone.

Unless you have the ability to retrieve it and keep the Heavenly Pride Token safe until its summoning day.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhufeng's expression turned solemn as he clasped his hands and replied: "Disciple understands."

Dai Qingye gave Xiao Zhufeng a thoughtful glance, inwardly thinking: If it weren't for knowing Xiao Zhufeng, he would probably really go seize the Heavenly Pride Token from him.

And he couldn't help but glance at Yuan Yao and the other six as well.

The Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord has indeed been kind to them, not only preparing the Heavenly Pride Tokens for them but also keeping them in safekeeping.

Although everyone in the Three Islands and Nine Provinces knows that the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord possesses them.

Even if they did, the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord would settle the matter.

Cang Li pressed his palms together and said to Xiao Zhufeng with a feeling of emotion: "Master Xiao, you really need to be careful. Now, in everyone's eyes, you are a living target."

Xiao Zhufeng frowned slightly, then said: "How about I hide in your Carefree Sect for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Li coughed violently and stared at Xiao Zhufeng in shock.

He quickly waved his hands in refusal: "You're trying to shift the disaster eastward! Our Carefree Sect can't afford to host someone like you, a great Buddha! If those with ill intentions storm our Carefree Sect and kill our fellow disciples, your life wouldn't be enough to compensate!"

Thinking about it, Xiao Zhufeng also felt he was a major trouble.

He clasped his hands and said: "Sorry, I lacked foresight."

He thought, he also couldn't stay in the Chongxu Sect.

After waiting a while and returning to the Chongxu Practice Academy, he would go to places outside the Ninth Province under the pretense of carrying out a mission.

Avoiding the spotlight is what he should do.

At that moment, a broadcast from the 250 System sounded in Yuan Yao's sea of consciousness.

【Target person Song Yan, Awakening Value reaches 40. Target person Xiao Lingwei, Awakening Value reaches 45. Target person Cang Li, Awakening Value reaches 48. Target person Xue Jin, Awakening Value reaches 46. Target person Ying Wuji, Awakening Value reaches 25.】

【Target person Xiao Zhufeng, Awakening Value reaches 35. Target person Ling Huya, Awakening Value reaches 30. Target person Dai Qingye, Awakening Value reaches 49.】

Yuan Yao was somewhat surprised.

Why is the Youngest Senior Brother's Awakening Value the lowest?

In the original book, important figures' Awakening Values tend to rise slowly.

But the Youngest Senior Brother isn't the Deeply Affectionate Male No. 188, is he?

Logically speaking, the Youngest Senior Brother's Awakening Value should increase faster than others', right?

Where is the problem?

Soon, the group of nine left the Heavenly Palace Spiritual Pool.

Meanwhile, the three sect elders guarding outside the Heavenly Palace Spiritual Pool area, upon seeing them all appear at once, were somewhat shocked and also felt a hint of doubt.

Only a day and a half had passed……

How did they all come out?

Each sect's elders were very confident in the nine's talents, so they thought they should stay in the Heavenly Palace Spiritual Pool for several days.

"Xiao Lingwei, it seems this bet won't come to pass." Ling Huya laughed.

"No problem." Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingwei's lips curled into a faint smile: "If there's a chance later, we can gamble again."

Dai Qingye said: "I look forward to our next meeting."

Cang Li sighed: "Little Ye Ye, I will miss you."

Zhai Qingye's face stiffened slightly; he shifted his gaze to Yuan Yao's beautiful face, eased his mood a bit, and said, "Yuan Dao friend, I have always felt that we can be friends for a moment."

Although at first he indeed harbored ill intentions, coming for her technique of cultivating mental power, but he no longer had that thought.

Because he realized, it wasn't that the mental power cultivation techniques differed, but that people differed, talents differed, and the chosen cultivation paths also differed.

Yuan Yao didn't expect him to be so fixated on this matter; after seeing his earnest gaze, she frowned and thought for a few seconds.

She said solemnly: "We'll have to see if we have any affinity in the future."

Friends also value affinity.

"Good." Zhai Qingye's handsome face broke into a smile; silver plates, like a python, coiled around his ear bones, and he now looks a bit less shrewd, with a hint of youthfulness.

Zhai Qingye, junior disciple of the Holy Gate Sect Master, seventeen years old, known as Zhai Qizi.

【Target character Zhai Qingye, Awakening Value reaches 50. Congratulations, host, successfully gained a one-day lifespan reward. Current lifespan reaches one thousand one hundred and one days.】

Upon hearing the system's voice, Yuan Yao couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Xue Jin frowned slightly, reached out and pulled her arm, and said in a light tone: "Yao Yao, don't blindly trust strangers."

He added: "Some people are deeply scheming and extremely deceitful."
